Chapter 46 Control of the Mine

Blacksmith Abel saw the steam engine pulling more than a dozen mine carts out of the mine in one go, and he was so excited that he suffocated and fainted directly.

Before he fell unconscious, Abel only said one word.

"The machine I built is so powerful, hahahaha-"

Then the happiness was suffocating, and he fainted.

When Alan saw Abel fainting, he immediately sent someone to sniff out, and was relieved to find that Abel was not dead.

The rest of the blacksmiths were also so excited that they wanted to get close to the steam engine in working condition and observe it up close, but they were quickly stopped by Allen.

"If you see that white steam, as long as you are touched by the high-temperature steam, it will directly burn your skin, don't be lucky."

The blacksmiths looked at the gushing white mist, their whole bodies trembled, and they immediately controlled their feet and stopped leaning forward.

Eren elaborated on the dangers of hot steam, and the slaves who operated the steam engine also showed a frightened expression, but the promotion opportunity that Eren promised to the freedmen was in his hands, and he could not retreat.

While the crowd fears and worships the steam engine, Windsor's focus is different from the others, focusing on the steam engine and the traction structure that pulls the minecart.

Obviously, the steam engine only replaces the manpower part, and the traction mechanism of this minecart is independent, so the steam engine can also replace a lot of manpower in other fields.

After figuring out this key, Windsor found that the significance of the invention of the steam engine was to replace manpower?

Just kidding, there are more places that require manpower, how can it be completely replaced, so the appearance of the steam engine should be able to do things that orcs can't.

Windsor analyzed indiscriminately, feeling still confused, so he asked Allen what else could he do with the steam engine in the future.

Alan shook his head: "There are too many things that the steam engine can do, such as pumping water in a mine, and using the huge power of the steam engine to make a boring machine, cutting faster and more violent, etc. ”

Windsor nodded, and with Allen's inspiration, she could think of more applications.

When the blacksmiths heard about the combination of a steam engine and a boring machine, they thought about the principle of the chamber machine, thought about the possibility of changing the water into a steam engine for a few minutes, and thought that the method was feasible, so they excitedly discussed the specific process with Allen.

Alan and the blacksmiths discussed the steam boring machine, and the top instructor eloquent secretly pressed it, pointing at the steam engine on the spot and making various comparisons, and the blacksmith understood.

Abel was also woken up, and as soon as he woke up, he heard Alan talk about steam-powered boring machines, and he almost fainted with happiness.

Fortunately, he didn't faint and listened to the detailed assembly theory of the whole process.

Now the production of the steam engine is still difficult to build, and yesterday it was able to succeed in one day because the various parts had been made in advance, only the cylinder and piston were not made.

Even so, the water wheel boring machine also cut for most of the day, or because of the turbulent water flow that day, the cutting force of the water wheel boring machine increased, otherwise I don't know how long it will take.

After transporting the minecart, Alan once again ordered the steam engine to be transported back to the blacksmith's shop, preparing to rebuild a steam boring machine and build the steam engine as soon as possible.

The lion soldiers guarding the mine had green eyes and wanted to step forward to leave the steam engine, but Alan solemnly refused, saying that the southern mine would soon have a pumping steam engine and a ore transportation steam engine, so don't worry.

The lion soldiers were reassured, and then began to preside over the slave pulling the mine to the mouth of the river on the west bank.

Eren winked at the villagers, staggered at the group of lions, and gestured at their necks.

The group of lion soldiers looked at the steam engine, and later they had to transport the ore to the mouth of the west bank and transport it to the ore ship in Morning Glory Town, so that they could not avoid communicating with the steward of the ore transporter.

In order to prevent the information of the steam engine from being exposed, and also to annex the entire southern mines, Allen decided to send an assassin group to assassinate all the mine soldiers.

A hundred lion soldiers scattered into a long line, and the various teams of slaves who presided over the transportation of mines, and the whole villagers looked at each other, each talking and laughing and moving forward.

The lion soldier walked slowly with his sword in hand, their eyes not always fixed on the slave, and chatting with their companions about the steam engine was the fun of the day.

"I'll tell you, this steam engine is amazing, I'm going to talk to the iron mine steward of Morning Glory Town later, and ask him to call Alan back to Morning Glory Town to shine."

"Well, Lord Allen has suffered in Big Iron Village, and he shouldn't be trapped in Morning Glory Town." The lion soldiers excitedly discuss Alan's whereabouts, but they don't know that Eren is already hostile to Altair Town.

Not all corps had carrier pigeons, the lion soldiers generally lived in the mountains to watch the slaves and rarely went down the mountain, and Alan also consciously closed the information exchange in the mines, so they were not yet aware of the changes in the outside world.

The villagers naturally looked next to the lion soldier and greeted the lion man with a smile.

The lion soldiers were unaware, and some of the lionmen nodded and acquiesced to each other's greetings.

Those orcs are free people, not slaves, even if they say hello to them, there is no need to answer seriously, nodding is already the greatest respect that the lion soldiers of Altair Town have for the villagers.

However, the whole village was no joke, and when the last two villagers walked behind the last lion soldier, the entire village of orcs moved.

Swish!

The movements of the assassins were like black shadows, and they flashed and flew into pillars of blood.

Some of the lion soldiers widened their eyes and tried to draw their swords, but no one could resist.

They are two or three people acting at the same time, one slitting his throat, one locking his joints, and one directly kicking his grandson.

No matter how strong the lion is, he can't even resist eating these three sets, and he dies of hatred in a second or two.

The way down the mountain was soon soaked in blood, and the slaves pulling the minecart screamed in fear, and the Assassins immediately stabilized the situation.

"Slaves of the mines, listen, you used to be slaves in the southern mines, and you are not under the management of Datie Village.

But now it's different, the Great Iron Village will take over the control of the southern mines, and if you work hard, you will have a chance to be promoted to the rank of Freedman.

Those who are promoted will have one suite per person, I promise! ”

Allen's voice was calm and powerful, making the restless slaves quietly show expressions of confusion and joy.

There are many slaves in the southern mines, and more than a thousand of them are directly managed by the lion soldiers of Altair Town, and Alan is the nominal top boss, and his words still work very well.

No, hearing Allen's speech, most of the slaves knelt on the ground to thank Allen for his gratitude.

Eren knew that this was just a superficial thank you from the slaves, and that if there was no actual reward in front of them, not many slaves would believe his words.

"In order to celebrate the return of the southern mine to the management of Datie Village, I have decided to give free porridge, and you can go into the village to eat white rice porridge under the leadership of the villagers.

At the soup kitchen, Priest Hood will rearrange your work, slaves who were carpenters can join the carpenters' group, those who are stonemasons join the stonemasons, and literate people will be promoted to freemen......"

Emancipating more than a thousand slaves from the mines, Allen's entire village population rose to the next level, which must have been a daunting assignment for Hood.

Hood wiped his sweat and cautiously communicated with Alan about the next work, and after understanding the assignment to be assigned later, he ran down the hill with a burning ass to preside over the slave meal.

Windsor stood next to Allen, watching Allen take over the Southern Mine, feeling that Allen was a little anxious.

That's the mine soldiers of Morning Glory Town, and he killed them all directly, and Morning Glory Town didn't look for him desperately.

But then she thought about it, Alan had even invented the steam engine, and what else he didn't dare to do.

Even if Altair Town comes to the door tomorrow, Alan will dare to lead the whole villagers to carry out a stealth assassination plan.

Soon, she figured out that the demonstration of the power of the steam engine was to increase the villagers' confidence in fighting Morning Glory Town.

After all, Morning Glory Town is a behemoth, and the cement brick wall being built outside the village recently proves that Datie Village may face the wrath of Morning Glory Town.

There are more than 1,000 slaves in the village, and more than 1,000 slaves in the mine have also been subdued, and Morning Glory Town will definitely send troops to wash the Great Iron Village.

The villagers have not shown overly worried expressions, but after waiting for a long time, there is still a possibility that the people's will will be unstable.

Now that the power of the steam engine is displayed, the hearts of all the villagers are temporarily grounded, but it is not yet time to be absolutely at ease.

Allen, what other means did he not use?

Windsor stared at Alan's face and found that the village chief was calm, which made her think about it, and she couldn't guess the village chief's inner thoughts.

"Young Master Allen, what if Altair Town sends troops south in a few days?"

"There are minotaurs to contain them, the army does not move, it is useless for the little shrimp to go south by boat, we five hundred assassins are fighting at home, and we are not afraid at all."

When Alan saw Windsor's tail visibly standing up in curiosity, she knew that she wasn't worried, but very curious about how he would respond.

"But ......," Windsor was still not reassured.

"We don't have enough steel, we need more iron ore, and that needs to be taken from the lion soldiers."

Alan explained the reason for doing it, and said confidently:

"By the time Morning Glory has time to take care of us, our flintlock pistol has already been born."
