"So what do you want me to do now?"

Hela, who was studying elementary chemistry, was repeating the experiment in Philicon's lab, and she didn't look back, even though she knew that Rafa had come in.

"Build a production line for the mass production of mercury thunderate, and by the way, look at lead azide. Rafa was pleased with the new alchemist, at least judging by her repetition of the book's experiments, she didn't listen to any book knowledge, preferring to do it herself.

"Mercury Thunderate?" Hela took out the primary chemistry that she had stored close to her and flipped through it, "This thing is not complicated, your wife can even make explosives, this thing shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Felihill's fingertips twitched slightly, as she read a book, expecting Rafa's answer.

Of course, Fili can do it, but the output is too low on her own, and Lilith has already made several stamping machines for stamping bullet shells, and the output of detonating charge is not good. ”

"I see, all right," Hela said, after making an experiment to prove that air also has weight, and was convinced by the truth recorded in the book, "but that alchemy workshop must have the same complete equipment as here." ”

"In fact, there's a lot more equipment there than here, because there's still room for your apprentices. ”

The Alchemy Workshop is where Rafa has asked Kaido to prepare for a long time, all built to the highest standards, from the outside it looks like a white castle, and the stone tablet at the gate has a string of words written on it, "Icefield City Scientific Research Institute".

Walking into the research institute, the space inside is much narrower, except for the daily record and office place, the other rooms are all filled with all kinds of utensils and a variety of carefully preserved raw materials, because the properties of different materials are different, so some rooms are well ventilated, and some rooms do not even have windows.

Seeing the carefully placed raw materials in the raw material warehouse, Hela felt a sense of comfort that she had never felt before, and she felt like she had entered a whole new world after pouring all her possessions into her hobby.

"These labs are Icefield secrets, and you and your fellow apprentices are only allowed to enter, and you and they have to promise not to divulge any details about the experiments. ”

"I understand that the alchemy workshop that produces perfumes in Silverlight City has similar rules," the group continued to walk inside, and arrived at several tin greenhouses of different colors, "What is this for?"

"Of course it's a place to mass-produce what we want. ”

"It's so big, wouldn't that be a lot of people?"

"Of course. ”

"Then didn't you just tell me not to leak secrets in vain?

"That's why I divided the workshop into several parts, and the different workers were only responsible for one part of the product, and they had to check their trouser pockets every day when they went in and out, and even if they knew something, they couldn't describe it exactly, which is why the gunpowder workshop was separated from here," Rafa led her into a tin shed, which was full of exactly the same equipment and machinery, "but there are no impermeable walls in the world, and I don't expect these things to never leak out, we just need to establish an advantageous system as soon as possible."

High point, always one step ahead of others. ”

"You're smart. As far as Hela could see, the factory was full of colorful machines, and the utensils and utensils cut by Lilith were all shiny, but in order to reduce wear and tear and increase durability, they were coated with various colors of film by Coria.

"You're the first person to compliment me so bluntly. Rafa smiled.

"Before I came to Icefield, I thought you were just there to sleep with me. Hela stroked the unknown devices, her eyes full of frenzy.

"Ahaha... How so?" Rafa approached Felicille slightly and took her hand as a sign of innocence.

"Are you weak-hearted?" asked Felihill.

"I swear, I definitely don't think so. ”

"Mia?" Felihill glanced at Mia, who was looking around curiously.

"It's the truth...... after holding the witch's welcome party as usual, Mia stayed completely at ease, usually staying in the city lord's mansion, maybe it was Philicill, who was also a noble woman, who attracted her very much, and she now became Philicon's personal maid in addition to Ah Xue.

"I really didn't expect what you said to be true. ”

"I've always been an honest person. Rafa patted his chest.

"Oh, when will you pay me back?"

"Ahem... Under... Months. ”

"Lies. Mia playfully told Felihill the answer.

"Mia, your xiaolongbao for tomorrow has been canceled. ”

"Hmph, I eat ravioli. ”

"The ravioli was also canceled. ”

"I eat big buns. ”

"The big bun was also canceled. ”

"Aha, this is a lie, everyone loves big buns, and you will never cancel it. ”

Mia loved the relaxed atmosphere, where everyone discussed how to live better every day, instead of gathering in a cold castle to discuss how to rob other people's treasures and kill others, and before she knew it, she seemed to have made Felihill her future goal, and Rafa became the big brother who took care of her sister.

"If only my brother and I could be so close. Seeing Rafa's smile, a trace of regret flashed in Mia's eyes.

"Very well, send my apprentices here, let the workers come back a few days later, I need to let these apprentices learn to help me manage the workers. Then everyone visited the institute again, and although Hela didn't make anything herself, she seemed to know what was described in the book by heart.

"Yes, Miss Hela, if you have any questions, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask. ”

"I can do something else besides what you told me, right?"

"Of course, but I'm likely to give you other tasks. ”

Hela smiled, "I'm kind of tempted to give my life to you right now."

”

"Ahem," Rafa squeezed Felicille's hand, "you'd better find someone else." ”

"Cut, don't dare guy. ”

After leaving the research institute, Rafa returned to the City Lord's Mansion to find some witches, and then went to the dock by Lake Shina, where the Ice Plain was being transformed as an experimental ship due to his steamship renovation plan.

It stands to reason that it would take more effort to transform a wooden sailboat into a ship, but thanks to the presence of a witch, it was too simple to make a place to install a paddlewheel on both sides of the ship.

It's just that if you want to rebuild the bottom of the ship, you have to get the boat out of the water, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out the work later, although Rafa made some mechanical jacks, but to deal with a wooden boat, it seems that it is not enough, there is no way, he has to find Cole to plant two huge vines on the shore, and then control the vines to directly fish out the Ice Plain from the water.

You must know that it took Cole more than half a month to build that vine bridge, and now he has to control two vines, and the magic required to it can be imagined, if it weren't for Lucy to make the Ice Plain lighter, I'm afraid no one would be able to move it.

Now Rafa didn't care about being caught the witch working her magic, so she picked a time when there were few people, and asked Cole to lift the Icefield out of the water, and then asked Lilith to quickly peel out the location where the paddle wheel needed to be installed according to the drawings.

In fact, there are paddle steamers in the waters of Ola, but those paddle wheels are driven by human pedals, which is really not enough to see, and now Rafa wants to transform the paddle steamer driven by a steam engine, and the original sail still exists, so it can be driven by wind and steam engine at the same time, if the transformation is successful, its speed is naturally far beyond that of ordinary sailboats, and the flexibility is also extremely excellent, and it only needs to control the speed difference between the two paddle wheels on the side side to achieve steering.

Monopolizing shipping is the key to winning the future, and Rafa has long understood that water transportation has incomparable advantages over land transportation, but in the past, sailing ships were highly susceptible to the weather, but now with the advent of the steam engine, it has been possible to fight against nature a little.

"The steam engine has appeared, will the internal combustion engine be far away?" Rafa commanded Lilith to peel off the hull as she looked at the whale-like ship that was being repaired in the distance.

It's just that he hasn't heard of oil yet, and if he can find an oil field, he may be able to directly cross the age of steam and enter the era of the internal combustion engine, and at that time, Ola will no longer be able to match him, and it will be too easy for industrial civilization to defeat agricultural civilization.

However, the changing situation of Ola would not give him much respite, and he was checking the size of the holes on both sides of the Ice Plain when the dull sound of galloping horses could be heard in the distance.

He climbed the mast and looked into the distance, where four or five knights with the banner of the Flaming Rose were riding towards Icefield.

In the lower right corner of the fluttering Flame Rose banner is a knight's coat of arms, which is the new flag of Kosol after Rafa conquered Kosol. 2k reading web
