Chapter 73: Good News and Bad News and Spices
Even if the sun still rises in the open air, what needs to be done is still to be done, stretch and tick the last few strokes of the design, Leo feels that he has actually adapted to this life?
After a few days of tossing, the castle was almost cleared of rubble, and the next phase of construction could finally begin.
In order to prevent the recurrence of the mistakes of the past, the main support of the building uses steel bars as the skeleton, but according to the current steelmaking technology of Drifting Snow City, it is supported.
The whole building contains independent water supply, hot water, sewer and ventilation facilities, and even the possibility of generating underfloor heating through hot water pipes is being considered.
During the construction period, Leo also visited Fran several times, but the other party's attitude was not so bad, and even got along with the girl who was suspected of being his illegitimate child.
The girl's name is Bai, and whenever she goes to see her, she always shrinks behind Fran, and she has no intention of recognizing her at all, and when she bribes her with food or other beautiful clothes, she always refuses.
The sly look that flashed in his eyes, Leo was almost certain and sure that it was certainly not a child of a few years old, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Is there any rejuvenating spell in this world? At least let the warlock check and find that the other party is a child of a few years old, and does not have any abilities.
And at this stage, I didn't find that she had any malicious intentions, except for eating and drinking every day, which made Leo think of a certain black dragon girl, and some felt nostalgic, so he decided to put it for a while.
The Sand Country's transport trucks had finally arrived at the southern port, and although it would take time to transport all of them to the Northland, it would not prevent them from getting some samples first.
Leo looked at the somewhat mixed ore in his hand, there was nothing special about it, just a slight crystalline pattern, and the middle was more like a frozen cooked lard than a stone.
"Isn't this a heavy stone?"
"You know?"
The brute hammer turned out to be ore, and when the hammer went down, all the black parts around it fell off, revealing the white cooked lard stone core.
"To be precise, the rest of the part is the heavy stone"
"What if I told you this might be tungsten?"
Brute Hammer's pupils shrank, and his interest was raised, when Leo instilled the concept before, he emphasized this tungsten, if there is tungsten ore, add it to steel to make high-speed steel, so that many things can make progress now, but the key problem is not here.
"This thing doesn't burn ....."
"I know, this thing has a very high melting point, but I know that this seems to be that adding auxiliary materials can help smelt."
"What? If you don't say it, what about making fun of my old man? ”
"Forgot...."
Leo regretted that he should have studied hard in the first place, and if he was stupid, he should read more!
“…..”
The brute hammer suppressed the impulse in his heart, and kept silently thinking, this is the lord, you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and no one will pay you if you beat it stupidly.
"Ahem, anyway, I will inform the scholars tower that the institute should be established to get some results, if not, just try the same"
"The main structure of the lathe has been designed, right?"
Brute Hammer glanced at Leo rather proudly, shook his finger in a pretended gesture, and staggered to uncover a dust cloth behind him.
A very modern industrial device comes into view, and the quaint metal body is painted with dark green paint, which even makes Leo wonder if he is wearing it back.
"It's not just a lathe! , the stamping machine is also completed, just wait for the cemented carbide to be made and wait for the rice to be cooked! ”
"But I didn't just make this thing, you have to give it to the Scholar Tower, and they did the detailed parts design."
This is the real surprise, the Eastern Front ordered so many muskets, although there is no rush to deliver, but the key to many details and parts is that the ammunition is still in the original production stage, and with the stamping machine, it can be directly mass-produced.
"Brother Hammer! You are my brother! You're really my brother hahahaha."
"It's been a hard time these days, so let's take a break for a few days before the materials arrive! Isn't it a hot spring tour in Black Rock Town! I'll arrange it."
"And the apprentices"
"Go all, go! There are also a few scholars in the tower, and none of them are left behind! ”
A brute hammer that hugged and made a burst of emotion, I didn't expect this kid to be quite humane, and he didn't have any shelf like other nobles.
After a while of pleasantries, Leo quickly moved away as if he had something urgent, and Brute Hammer was carried away by Leo's enthusiasm, and then he remembered that something seemed to be wrong.
"Where's the bonus!"
Whether it's a hot spring trip or a vacation, it's a business that doesn't cost much money, and where is the most critical bonus? Think of the three jumps when he walks here.
"This kid's skills are rising..."
The construction of the castle was smooth, but while digging the foundation, an accident occurred, and the ground suddenly collapsed, causing a worker to fall into the pit, suffer a minor fracture, and may have to recuperate for several months.
This matter went directly to the Drifting Snow Daily, and when I saw the first sentence of the first line written, the Lord of Drifting Snow City, Leoclough, rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
Leo's recently couldn't help but twitch, why didn't he arrive at the scene for the first time, he lived next to the scene, okay?
The worker who was injured in a fall was hospitalized by a doctor, and all the expenses were paid by the city hall of Drifting Snow, and he also had to pay for lost work during the period of recuperation, but Leo didn't pay a cent in this kind of place.
These people must know that their work risks are guaranteed, so that they can focus more on their livelihoods.
The place where it collapsed was a basement, and strangely enough, Leo had never seen this basement before, and wanted to go down to see it, but was tried to stop it by the students and subordinates.
I could only invite an experienced mine worker to go down to explore the situation, and the worker came up not long after he went down, with a strange face, and when he told Mu Feng, Mu Feng was also a little crying and laughing.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, you guys are playing dumb riddles one by one?"
"Teacher, which one do you listen to if there is good news or bad news?"
"The good news?"
"The good news is that you're going to make a fortune, teacher, at least worth tens of thousands of gold coins"
Leo felt his head buzz, and the whole person was a little floating, although tens of thousands of gold coins were not so rare for him now, but money was money!
"Huh!? And what about the bad news? ”
"The bad news is that that's the same amount of pepper, and a lot of it gets wet"
“……”
Spices such as pepper are valuable, but for the Land of Iron it was only once, after Leo opened the sea trade route of the Land of Sand, the land of sand with a hot climate was rich in more than minerals.
Recently, someone has received rumors that the price of spices has plummeted, and it has been reported in the daily newspaper, and the culprit of all this is naturally the culprit.
"I'm myself!!"
