Chapter 81: Lack of People
"Forget it, this loss should be used as the cost of the test. As Zhou Tian thought, when he proposed a huge bounty, the orcs under his command immediately began to continuously try to improve the process of burning bricks. However, the orcs who burned the bricks didn't know much about Zhou Tian, and according to the content of Zhou Tian's bounty at that time, those orcs' experiments were almost all groped from scratch. In addition, there are a large number of orcs who are willing to take a bounty, and the first few batches of bricks sent into the room on Sunday are often not a few days after the orcs test, so they are directly taken out to do the test.
As a result, Zhou Tian didn't see much of the results of the orc experiments under his command at that time, so much so that he wasted a few days of time.
However, Zhou Tian didn't say much about this, it didn't matter if the orcs couldn't find a way to improve in a short time, in short, even if those orcs disrupted the normal brick-making process, while they were doing those things, Zhou Tian had already successfully seen the results of his series of plans.
Because the effect of the magic array was much better than what Zhou Tian wanted, there was no need to burn it in a brick kiln for a few days like the earth, even if it was a brick taken out that day, it was already basically formed at that time. Although the quality is very poor, it is still good in terms of results.
Then, in the next few days, the bricks that were taken out continuously improved in quality. The most perfect batch of bricks, the quality is not even bad for the red bricks of the earth in Zhou Tian's opinion.
After all, red bricks themselves are not much hard, and if they are not combined with cement and steel bars, general brick houses are still not as strong as stone houses. Now Zhou Tian's world soil quality and the earth have a certain difference, in the case of soil is more suitable for burning bricks, at that time the quality of bricks easily reached the level of red bricks, although this result is somewhat unexpected by Zhou Tian, but Zhou Tian is not unacceptable to this.
And according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian knew that his business could continue.
It's not that the quality of the bricks must reach a certain level before Wanjie Supermarket collects it, just like the same product has different brands, Wanjie Supermarket generally pays according to the quality when it collects the goods sent here on Sunday. Therefore, no matter what the quality of the bricks sent by Zhou Tian is, Wanjie Supermarket will accept them, the difference is only that the bricks sent by Zhou Tian If the quality is too poor, then it is estimated that there will be no CSB at all.
In this way, now that he finds that the brick factory he opened has a certain production capacity, and the bricks produced have a good quality, even if he no longer makes improvements, Zhou Tianyi can continue to supply his own fired bricks to Wanjie Supermarket one after another.
Of course, for the current Zhou Tian, the brick will definitely be supplied to Wanjie Supermarket in the future, but at this time, Zhou Tian still needs to supply his own needs first. After all, a large territory like Zhou Tian needs to be built, and it is difficult for the bricks produced by the brick factory to supply their own needs in a short period of time, let alone sell.
It can be said that since the establishment of that magic array, Zhou Tian has been in a pretty good mood. Because with that magic array, Zhou Tian's follow-up plan was implemented very smoothly. The only thing that made Zhou Tian feel a little disappointed was that although he was able to solve the problem of burning bricks according to the methods at that time, Zhou Tian, another product of construction, worked hard for a long time but did not get any results.
Cement!
Unlike the case of burning bricks, the general way of making bricks and stones is not difficult, and you can basically remember it after reading it once. In addition, the process is not complicated, even if Zhou Tian has not made it himself, according to his own cognition, he worked hard and successfully burned some bricks at that time, which is not a strange thing.
But cement is different, the complexity of its formula is not at all a layman can easily remember, plus there are many processes, Zhou Tian can't even remember how to make cement, want to get that building material out, naturally it is a basically impossible thing to do.
Unless Zhou Tian can buy relevant books in the future, or directly get the production line for making cement, according to the current situation of Zhou Tian, he can't even think of making cement.
Therefore, although Zhou Tian had successfully burned some bricks and stones, because he could not make cement, the kind of earth building that Zhou Tian hoped to build at that time should not be built. Even if Zhou Tian built a city at this time, it could only rely on thin mud or other adhesives to act as a sticky.
But no matter what, after the successful construction of the brick factory, Zhou Tian's business has successfully expanded a lot. Men began to make bricks and dig rivers, and women slowly resumed their clothing-making work, believing that when everything is on the right track, Zhou Tian's orcs estimate that every member will be able to create corresponding profits for Zhou Tian at that time.
According to the situation at that time, it can be said that Zhou Tian only needs to solve a few more problems, so the development of his territory can be said to be on the right track.
First of all, the first point is that Zhou Tian must find a way to solve a material problem, if there is no corresponding material, it is impossible for Zhou Tian to open a factory. Because the brick factory only needs some soil, and the most indispensable thing to dig the canal is soil on Sunday, so the demand for this is not large. However, unless a factory that really needs materials such as a garment factory is not opened, it will be the same as before, and there is no corresponding force to continuously provide materials for it, and it is impossible for the factory at that time to be opened.
However, for this situation, Zhou Tian had already planned at that time.
Before that, Zhou Tian had only gotten a batch of materials, but because he had only arrived in the territory at that time, his subordinates were short of manpower and did not have the heart to waste energy in that area, so Zhou Tian directly sold those materials. Now that he has a need, Zhou Tianzi is confident that he can get enough materials.
At present, the best choice for Zhou Tian must be to contact those mercenaries in the Elf Empire, after all, the various materials in the Elf Empire are the most, if the mercenaries in its territory are really willing to cooperate with Zhou Tian, then I believe that Zhou Tian will not be short of raw materials when he lacks anything.
However, the transaction with those mercenaries can only be put on the back for the time being, and Zhou Tian has no contact with the other party, so it is difficult to trade with those mercenaries at the moment. In this way, according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian's best choice now is to cooperate with the nearby Orc Thirteen Legions.
The situation of that legion is not very good, and if they encounter Zhou Tian's request for cooperation, they will not hesitate at all, and they will immediately agree to it. And in the process of continuous cooperation between the two sides, Zhou Tian can still achieve some other goals at that time.
Build a good relationship with the Thirteenth Legion, and then use them to complete the second gap in your territory.
For Zhou Tian, developing his own territory is far from being as simple as reopening a few factories, whether it is a brick factory or a garment factory, if Zhou Tian can really open and run normally, theoretically speaking, it will indeed provide him with a lot of wealth. At least the CSB will not be able to make ends meet, but in general, the development of its territory will not benefit much, and it is absolutely impossible to develop its territory at least in a short period of time.
Zhou Tian's territory wants to develop, and the biggest flaw at the moment is not the lack of materials or the direction of development, with Zhou Tian's existence, those external factors will never become their restrictions. The real reason why Zhou Tian's territory has not been able to develop is actually only one reason, and that is that the population under his command is too small.
Full of calculations, the population under Zhou Tian is less than 10,000, even if the orcs can give birth, from childbirth to the growth of the little orcs, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years, even if it is until the new generation of orcs grows up, then the population under Zhou Tian's hands will increase dozens of times, then it is meaningless to Zhou Tian, because Zhou Tian cannot spend more than ten years waiting for the population of his territory to grow by itself.
Therefore, according to the situation at that time, since Zhou Tian was not in a hurry for the population of his territory to grow on its own, then he could only attract people into his territory from the outside world as before.
At the beginning, the population under Zhou Tian's command suddenly increased to the current point, and it was based on the goal of annexing other villages. It can be said that if Zhou Tian hadn't annexed most of the orc villages in his area at one time, the number of orcs under his command would not have increased so much.
And now, although Zhou Tian will leave more and more orcs under his hands, it is obvious that Zhou Tian is not satisfied with the rate of natural growth. So after thinking about it, he also put his mind on the thirteenth legion.
