Once the natural rubber latex is naturally cured, the elasticity is not high, it is not resistant to high temperatures, and the practicability is not strong, and Allen's work now is to vulcanize the natural rubber latex to produce vulcanized rubber, also known as cooked rubber.

Vulcanized rubber has high elasticity, heat resistance, tensile strength, and will not dissolve in organic solvents, and is a rubber category often used in later generations.

The orcs outside didn't know what Alan was doing, but they saw buckets of natural rubber latex being carried in, and other experimental materials were also sent into the laboratory in a steady stream.

Alan only presided over one experiment, and when he was producing cooked rubber, he used his top-notch educational eloquence to teach on the spot, educating a group of would-be freemen and slaves with good memory.

"Here, you don't need to participate in the future autumn harvest competition, you don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, as long as you can complete the preparation and persist for two months, you can be promoted to the free people of this village."

Alan came back and walked around, explaining the experiment by interspersing the reward system for promotion to a free man, and motivating the slaves to work.

The slaves were overwhelmed with excitement when they heard that they could skip the fall harvest race and become freemen, and they desperately memorized Alan's experimental procedures.

They don't understand the principle, and they don't need to know the principle, as long as they strictly follow the steps to produce cooked rubber.

Allen's words echoed in his head over and over again until the preparation process and the details of the production were seared into his mind.

He taught for a while, and he didn't leave until he saw the slaves in groups and finished making vulcanized glue.

After leaving the laboratory, the old hunter touched him and asked, "Lord Allen, I brought back the seeds, where are they planted?" ”

Alan looked down at the seeds, which looked like small brown oblate fruits with black markings, but unfortunately they were not full enough.

He shook his head and said: "These seeds are shriveled, the water loss is serious, there is no need to plant, there is a chance to directly take the fox village into the bag, build a rubber laboratory in the place of origin, and produce rubber on the spot." ”

In Allen's eyes, it is a two-day walk to the fox village, there is no need to spend time planting rubber forests, and it is the most cost-effective decision to directly pocket the next village.

Another point is that the growth cycle of rubber trees is very long, and it takes six to eight years from seed germination to suitable rubber tapping.

Six to eight years, millions of players may have landed, and he doesn't have time to wait for that day.

When the old hunter heard Allen's decision, he secretly wiped his sweat.

Subduing the Fox Clan Village was something he had never dared to think of before, and only the village chief Allen, who was favored by the gods, had such ambitions.

And ambition alone is not enough, it requires excellent comprehensive strength, and it just so happens that Allen has such ability.

"Lord Allen, is the White Blood Sacred Tree really that important, don't you can't do it?" The old hunter glanced at Eren secretly and saw Eren nodding solemnly.

"Rubber trees are important, they have to be. You also said that the White Blood Sacred Tree is a worship object in the fox village, and they definitely don't sell natural latex, in this case, it is better to directly enter our village and let me give them an ideological education class. ”

Allen's tone was full of confidence, as if the fox village was just a small step in his life, but in the eyes of the old hunter, it was already a step in the big earthquake.

If saving the cat slave is to love the people, then subduing the fox village is very aggressive, and at this time he really feels how big Allen's ambition is.

"Then we have to find a suitable reason to attack the fox village, otherwise what if their villagers desperately resist and burn the White Blood Sacred Forest?" The old hunter tried the last persuasion.

If Eren had already thought of a reason for Zhengdaguang's attack, the old hunter would not hesitate, and for the sake of the remaining assassin inheritance, he would be willing to turn into the sword of Da Tie Village.

"No, we don't attack the village, don't forget that every villager is a valuable working population, and in the face of the foreign population, we must adopt a policy of gentleness to melt them." Alan smiled slightly, and sold it for the time being.

As for how to take over the fox village, Alan has an immature idea for the time being, that is, to send people to the village as mountain bandits to loot, and then help the fox villagers in the name of saving the village, take them to move into Datie Village, and then melt people's hearts with various policies to benefit the people.

His core policy is immigration, and if Datie Village does not rely on immigration to increase its population, it will never want to build an industrial city.

As for the reinvention of the occupied large cities? At present, he does not have this strength, and when he has the strength, the industrial foundation of Datie Village has been built, and it is impossible for him to start all over again, so it is better to continue to build infrastructure around Datie Village to attract foreign population.

So Allen plans to gradually "subdue" the surrounding villages and increase the population.

Of course, the way to open up the situation is not limited to pretending to be a mountain bandit, the mountain bandit plan has side effects, and it would be quite embarrassing to let other villages recognize that the mountain bandit is from Datie Village, so he did not immediately say the specific content of Huairou's policy.

Allen remembered that two days ago, there was a large lodging of rice in Morning Glory Town, and the grain production in nearby villages should be reduced.

At that time, there is flexibility in formulating the plan according to the situation, and food relief is also a good way to open up the situation for migrants.

After preparing the cooked rubber, Alan ordered someone to take the rubber to the blacksmith to preside over the first production of the cylinders and pistons of the steam engine.

Eren enters the expanding blacksmith shop with the rubber, attracting countless orcs to watch.

"Is this thing rubber, it's really soft."

"It's so elastic and it feels softer than a spring."

The orcs stared around at the fresh rubber, as if it were some rare treasure.

Abel was called out of bed, and when he woke up, he rushed into the crowd like a rush, watched the appearance of the rubber, tested the elasticity of another wave of rubber, and left satisfied.

"This rubber is really a bit of a doorway."

Abel reminisced about the magic of rubber, and heard Alan call him again, ready to turn on the turning cylinder.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Abel heard Alan say more than once about the magic of the steam engine, and he slept enough today for now.

Come on, what kind of magic does the thing that Allen called epoch-making have?

The orcs of the blacksmith shop watched the production site, breathing heavier and heavier, and the cutting sound of a knife was very harsh, but it was very wonderful to everyone's ears.

An external processing feast was staged in the blacksmith's shop, and everyone couldn't enjoy watching it, and they couldn't wait to stretch their necks to see it up close.

Windsor and the others also came, and heard that Alan was working on an epoch-making thing, and after she entered the crowd, none of the blacksmiths paid attention to her, and all her minds were attracted.

The expanded blacksmith shop has expanded the grounds, including small rivers and water wheels.

The river is not a river of shipping, it originates in the Southern Mine Mountains and eventually flows into the Grand Canal at the mouth of the West Bank.

Allen's invention of the water wheel boring machine is placed next to the river, and now after cutting the outer wall of the cylinder, the internal processing begins, and the metal cylinder is rotated by using the water wheel, so that the tool fixed in the center is pushed forward to cut the inside of the cylinder.

The sound of water flowing, vaguely covering the harsh cutting sound.

Watching the water wheel roll and the boring machine violently cutting through the hard steel cylinder, Windsor felt that Alan was favored by the goddess of water again and mastered the power of the river.
