Chapter 235 Freshwater Resources
In the dockyard of Black Iron Harbor, Anna was pointing to the somewhat broken ships in front of her and saying something to the carpenter in the dockyard, after Ades and Molly decided to recruit immigrants from Goldwater Bay and Rulun Bay, Molly was in a hurry to bring back the ships docked in the harbor for repairs, followed by the most honest and obedient sailors, and the rotating guards and city guards.
These armed clippers and merchant ships were repaired and were about to sail on the route again, and the three of them swept away the goods transported from the East to Ambo Port early, hoarding a large number of these goods that were popular on the Central Continent, and after the resumption of navigation, it would bring a huge amount of income to Adès, the Church of the Forest Goddess, and the Anslow family.
Without the obstruction of the fiefdom nobles, the Anslow family's power in Navabila County has reached its peak, and in the past year or so, the land, shops, mines, and blacksmith shops in the Black Iron Harbor belonging to the fiefdom nobles have all been swallowed up by Adès and Anna, and the industrial chain has been completely sorted out.
From the excavation of iron ore to the final end of the weapons and armor trading, it has been effectively sorted out and the efficiency has been greatly increased, especially the separate forging of armor accessories proposed by Ades, to the final assembly, this assembly-like production method has not only greatly improved efficiency, but also unified weights and measures in the factory in the Anslow family.
∑⊙
During that time, Adès provided solutions in addition to exercising every day, so that the blacksmiths could unify the dimensions of the armor accessories by hand and get them used to the method of forging.
After the integration, the Anslow family's blacksmith workshop was able to produce five complete sets of full-body steel armor per day. And the traditional blacksmith makes it by himself and his apprentice. If you can make a set in a month, you are already a very skilled master craftsman.
The disruption of the route has also caused the armor and weapons to be stored by Adès. Jinshuiwan has long been out of stock, not only the armor at the end is out of stock, but the most primitive iron ore and semi-finished iron ingots can't be shipped out, if it weren't for the large amount of grain stored in the granaries of those fiefdom nobles, Anna's side would not be able to hold on.
The resumption of the route also means that in the coming period, the goods of Navabira County will soon attract a hot sales period, and the business of the Black Iron Port will recover. And it will be more prosperous than before.
And the Anslow family and Ades will also attract harvest, monopolize the entire industrial chain, and there will be a commercial giant in the southern forest, and no one will be their opponent in business.
Adès is very sober, he warns Anna and Molly that they are still very weak, especially in high-end force, and when others find out the details of the Anslow family, there is a possibility that someone will seek to seize the interests of this monopoly industrial chain.
He and Anna gave an example. If the bishop of the Lord of Dawn in the royal capital, that is, the teacher of Anna and Molly, suddenly teleported, then no one in the entire Anslow family could resist it, which is why Anna and Adès attach so much importance to the volcanic island. With the existence of the magic array, the gap between them and those high-end professionals will be infinitely narrowed.
Locke Jr. commanded his men to measure the land, and his daily job was to lead the men assigned to him. Measuring the arable land on the island, there were ten teams with the same work as him. Start at the port next to the old crater and continue to the new crater.
It can stand out from a large number of poor peasants and free people. Thanks to the arithmetic and literacy he had learned before, the owner of the island, Master Clifford, promised that the leader of each measurement team would not only be rewarded with land but also compensated in taxes and money if he passed the random inspection after the work was completed.
Stimulated by the double allocation of land and five years of complete tax exemption, little Locke stepped forward and took over the work of measuring the land, not to mention that during his work, his wife Mary and son would be protected by the owner of the island, and with the endorsement of Anslow's eldest lady Molly, he had full trust in this nobleman named Clifford.
In the wooden house in the port, Ward said to Ades worriedly: "Ade, I have checked, the fresh water resources here in the old crater are very scarce, although the crater can store rainwater, but there is no spring to wait for rain, it is easy to have an accident, and I have observed on the top of the mountain, until the new crater does not have any small streams and rivers, what will happen to the farmland in the future?"
Ades smiled and said to the magician, "Ward, sit down and drink some water, I'll talk to you slowly." ”
Ward glanced at Adès, wondering what the old friend would do.
Ades poured a glass of lemonade for Ward, and when he came back, he said to him, "Didn't I ask you to find Teacher Nancy last time and order a magic array that can communicate with the water elemental plane? ”
Ward nodded and said: "Brought, three large ones, six medium ones, and ten small ones, but Ade, this kind of array disk is very demanding, and the small ones are good to say, as long as there is energy, the energy will continue to provide pure water, but the large ones are different, they need to be activated in places with a large number of water elements, and the energy required is particularly large, even ordinary magic towers can't provide the energy of this large magic array." ”
Ades smiled and nodded to Ward and said, "I know, I asked about this kind of magic array when I went to the magic academy a long time ago, and you can't use a large array on the port side, but you can do it on the new crater." ”
Ward blinked, and his mind turned for a moment to understand what Adès was talking about, and he asked repeatedly: "Won't the crater over there erupt?
Adès waited for Ward to finish speaking, and then whispered: "You also saw it that day, this volcanic island only appeared because of the existence of the demon, and now that the demon has been destroyed, have you seen smoke coming out of the new crater in the past few days?"
Ward seemed to understand when he heard Ades say this, since the last time it rained heavily for several days in a row. I didn't think there was any more signs of eruption on the crater, and there wasn't even a little bit of fireworks, but he thought about it. That's not right, and then asked Ades, "There's no water either." Moreover, how do you solve the energy supplied to the magic array?"
Ades smiled and said, "There's a crater lake too, and as for the energy, don't ask, it's the secret left by the unicorn queen." ”
Ward thought back to the short-lived energy shield on the harbor, and he probably understood something.
Adès continued to say to him, "I'll go over there with Yunnie in two days to have a look, and if it's appropriate, we can build a large magic array there." The crater is a volcanic lake, and I think it will be enough for irrigation on the island. ”
In the magma lake deep underground, the magic array has set aside an energy output node, this Ades has known for a long time, and the demon has long been ready for this qiē, but in the end, it is not the demon himself, but Ades.
Moreover, in the crust above the magma lake, there is also an underground river, and the control zhì magic array opens a passage from the underground river to the surface underground. It's not that difficult, there are such gaps in the earth's crust itself.
If it really doesn't work, Ades also has a half-plane of beads, and the beads themselves are an artifact accessory for irrigation. There is a node on it that outputs water sources, and as long as a connected magic array is built outside, a part of the water in the half-plane can be released. All Ades has to do now is determine the terrain. Place a magic circle in the right place.
The volcanic island is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, with two volcanic peaks as ridges, and the east side is about 50 meters above sea level. The west side was originally the place where the magma flowed, and it went down to the sea, but then the demon may not be able to control the place so far, and the magma slowly accumulated on the west side of the sea, and the magma that flowed from behind accumulated more and more, and finally the west side was about twenty meters above sea level, and it was a steep basalt hexagonal stone wall.
Adès and Winnie walked along the ridge to the new crater, the two craters are very close in a straight line, just over ten miles away, this side is the highest place on the island, the further west you go, the lower the terrain, and the terrain is fan-shaped, narrow in the east and wide in the west, and the coastline in the west is much longer than in the east.
Ades and Yunni stopped and walked on the road, they not only had to explore the terrain, but also to draw it down, so as to facilitate the configuration of villages and farmlands in the future, Yunni adopted the traditional method of magicians, but Ades added contour lines on this basis, although this contour line is not very accurate, but the sea level is not far from him, and there is the assistance of divine thoughts, Ades guessed by himself, the error is calculated in feet, and this range Ades can also accept.
Originally, the road of more than ten miles could be completed in one day, and if you were to ride a horse or sprint, it would take half a day, but now you have to draw the terrain, so Ades and Yunni walked for two days before they came to the bottom of the new crater, the volcano is not towering into the sky, but it is like a large earth slope about 100 meters high, and there is a gap in the southwest direction, which is where the magma flowed out at that time.
After the magma stopped gushing out and the temperature of the crater dropped, the bottom of the crater was afraid of fifty or sixty meters deep, and this new volcano was a shield-shaped volcano that grew directly on the bottom of the sea, and was formed under the conscious control of the demon, so its crater was very round and perfect, except for a slightly low gap in the southwest.
Ades visually measured that the diameter of this crater is about three hundred meters, and the diameter of the bottom is about half of the top, about one hundred and twenty or thirty meters, if such a place is filled with water, it is enough to stimulate the operation of the magic array, and then open a few springs underground, plus the magic array continuously extracts water elements, there should be no problem with the irrigation of the island.
========================
The weights and measures in this chapter use the metric system directly, I'm afraid that the conversion is wrong, and if you convert it to the imperial system, you don't have a specific impression.
And then, since I've written the words after the chapter, then I'll be cheeky and ask for a ticket by the way, and don't stop recommending and subscribing!!
