Chapter 56: Firing (I)

In a few days, there was a huge crypt in the wasteland, this crypt was very strange, the exit faced Adas Bay, and the skylight was opened on the top, and it was tightly surrounded by it.

Chen Ye stood at the entrance of this crypt.

The entrance of this crypt is as high as more than ten meters, straight down and obliquely inward, and continues to the place of more than 30 meters underground, the interior is a huge traffic hub part, surrounded by dozens of closed caves with exactly the same mouth and small belly, only in the depths there is a small hole upward, connecting the skylight window wall, and the skylight is on top of this transportation hub, that is, ventilation, but also for lighting.

This is the cement forging base designed by him, the specific temperature of the firing cement Chen Ye does not know, but this is not a big deal in his opinion, in order to increase the temperature of forging as much as possible, so he built it underground, in this kind of fully enclosed underground, as long as there is sufficient fuel, it is not difficult to achieve this high temperature, maybe it will be more than enough.

As for the smelting technology of this era, which relied on a large amount of combustion to maintain a high temperature, in his opinion, there was perhaps no more perfect insulation facility than this thick layer of earth.

Of course, all this is indispensable to those goblins, for the construction of caves, this race that has been digging for tens of thousands of years is considered a middle expert, even if this huge underground space does not have to worry about any safety accidents, if there are no these goblins, Chen Ye really does not have the courage to calcine the cement underground, after all, thermal expansion and contraction and the like, it is not a joke, without a certain technical support for punching holes, this will always be a disturbing problem.

He didn't want to burn the cement once and have to smash the thick ceramic layer to take it out, so he specially rewarded Habaru with an iron sword and officially appointed him as the leader of the five thousand goblins.

He arranged a hundred soldiers around the base to guard day and night, and these soldiers who followed him from the royal city to the Red Leaf Collar were undoubtedly loyal to the market, even if they were two-hearted, but it was impossible to make any waves.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, five people and one squadron, three people and one squad, unless the defense here is forced to break through, or encounter a sacrifice that can be invisible, there is almost no possibility of breaking into here silently.

He took this kind of cement, which the people of this continent called a petrochemical agent, very seriously, and once the real use of this thing that was enough to change the times came out, his method of making cement in large quantities would definitely attract everyone's attention.

And the production process of cement is also very simple, it is nothing more than grinding raw material and calcining it into mature material, but this continent is very different from what he understands, so if he wants to really produce cement, he can't leave those alchemists.

This kind of warlock who often refines a lot of poisonous things in the human world is known as a liar even in the orc kingdom, but it is undeniable that these guys are indeed the only people Chen Ye has seen who can be regarded as a pioneer of science.

Both sides of the huge passage are full of large and small caves, a group of well-dressed goblins are lazily squatting in these holes**, the innermost caves are larger, and these larger caves are placed in a grinding disc that is almost twice the size of the body of these goblins, which is also these days, Chen Ye ordered the stonemasons among those slaves to hurry up to make the stone mill, this kind of stone mill for goblins needs at least five goblins to pull, but Chen Ye is not a problem, after all, the wasteland has no more resources than goblins.

This stone mill is the final process of raw meal preparation, but the caves in front of it are broken into small particles, then dried, and sent to these larger caves for grinding, and after the grinding is completed, the raw meal will be sent to the transportation hub for those alchemists to calcine.

This assembly-line production method is undoubtedly a mythical model in this era, almost increasing the work efficiency by several times.

"Your Highness, the first batch of ironstone, phosphorite, and clay has arrived. Kaigula, who was following behind Chen Ye, reminded.

The so-called iron stone is nothing more than iron ore, and phosphorite is what replaces limestone, although this kind of stone is also gray-white, even in the wasteland, it is not uncommon, but Chen Ye can see that this is still a little different from limestone, if it is not for this group of alchemists, let him research the substitute of limestone by himself I really don't know when it will take.

"Let's get the order down and start producing. He didn't look back and gave the order directly.

Although he had calculated everything as much as he could, he still couldn't put his mind at ease when he didn't see the cement actually produced, so he didn't leave, he waited for the first batch of cement to be produced.

According to the prior regulations, a group of goblins lined up with a basket on their backs, slowly walking towards the cave, a group of soldiers maintained order on both sides of the team, according to Chen Ye's requirements, the plot of beating and scolding slaves was not staged, these goblins seem to know the horror of these soldiers, for the slave life of eating and drinking, these goblins have no resistance, after all, compared to the life of the wilderness that may starve to death in the next second, this kind of day of never starving is like paradise in the eyes of these goblins.

According to the different materials, the goblins sent these raw materials into the cave near the entrance of the cave, and the goblins who had been waiting inside for a long time glanced at Chen Ye in fear, and did not dare to be lazy, and immediately picked up the hammer on the side and began to break these stones.

As soon as the smaller stones fall to the ground, the goblins waiting next to them will immediately come forward to pick them up and put them into another back basket, which is full and will be sent to the cave in the next area, and then smashed again, until it is the size of a soybean grain, and these raw materials will be sent to the grinding area, all of which is no different from Chen Ye's budget, even if one or two goblins occasionally hit themselves because they didn't grasp the stones well, it is just irrelevant.

After all, for these goblins who have no human rights, the work injury is just a joke, but these goblins were still sent down by Chen Ye, and the injured ones will undoubtedly affect their work, which is not what he wants to see, so these goblins, he will give them to Habaru, as for the final result, it is nothing more than dying on the battlefield, or surviving by luck, of course, this is not what he cares about.

He walked to the huge transportation hub, where Oguye was directing a dozen slaves to mix the raw food that had just been sent in proportion, and then send it into pre-prepared containers.

This kind of container has four wheels, two handles at one end, an otherworldly version of the trolley, which in Chen Ye's opinion, there is simply no better means of transportation than this, if it weren't for the scarcity of carpenters and the inability to make them in large quantities, Chen Ye would definitely replace all the means of transportation with this thing.

"Master, you're here~!" Oguye saw Chen Ye and immediately fell to the ground on all fours, this is the etiquette that slaves on this continent should have, it seems that this guy has really figured out a lot of things during this time.

"Get up, I'll just see as you go on with your work. Chen Ye glanced at the things in his hand and put down the things in his hand, all of them were lying on the ground and were slaves, a little helpless.
