The disease that pervades the Black Fire Castle has finally cleared the fog and regained sight, and all the work that has been started on construction is back on track. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Musk Patriarch did not leave the Black Fire Castle, because the container of the Moon Crystal still needed to be reinforced by the dwarves eight feet.

And she also said that until the disease is completely eradicated, she will stay here and act as a good doctor.

On this occasion, Yuffie also learned some traditional pharmacology from her.

In the past half a month, the new town address has been completely opened up, and the logged wood is piled up.

Lin Ye personally checked and classified the wood, and the selection of papermaking materials was still under the control of the little old man.

The little duke only knew the general process of papermaking, and it was impossible to remember every detail so clearly, so he could only leave these affairs to the little old man for repeated experiments, and test every type of wood, and always find a virgin pulp wood suitable for making pulp.

Wood such as yew, which is tough and has a straight core, is used to make longbows.

The Far Easterners have strong arms, and Lin Ye hopes to train an elite longbowman.

In the history he studied, the British took advantage of the longbowmen, with the help of weather and terrain, to perfectly suppress the French heavy cavalry.

According to his thinking, the trend of war will gradually escalate from point-to-point killing to face-to-face killing.

Napoleon was able to sweep across Europe, in large part because of the good use of artillery.

Of course, compared to the longbow, crossbow and musket, it is undoubtedly a better choice.

However, a crossbow was too slow to reload to achieve the firepower suppression effect displayed by the longbowmen.

The latter two are sharp weapons that directly announce the end of the knightly era, and Lin Ye can't predict what kind of impact it will have on this world.

And both of these things are easy to replicate, and while inflicting mass destruction on the enemy, they are also a threat to themselves.

The third is not equipped to produce crossbows and muskets, and crossbows, that is, traditional crossbows, may still be able to figure out some way.

But muskets have high requirements for the steel industry.

Lin Ye didn't think that in just a few decades, he could make a seamless steel pipe, at most a relatively primitive flintlock pistol.

However, the firepower of the flintlock pistol could not penetrate even the plate armor, and the lethality was really limited.

What really made the knight retire from the stage of history was the smoothbore gun.

Even if there is an industrial base, it will be a hundred years before the smoothbore gun is built.

It is obviously unrealistic to rely on a smoothbore gun to fight the world.

So Lin Ye still decided not to work on these things, after all, in the era when chain mail was still in power, an arrow piercing was death, and a shot was still death, so why bother to study a musket that would take decades to show its power at the earliest?

He might as well focus on strengthening his equipment rather than evolving.

Building a longbowmen capable of causing fan damage is only the first step.

The abundant mineral resources of the Far East will give him enough conditions to build an invincible elite army.

As for the rest of the wood, it is used to build houses.

Lin Ye in the discussion with the eight feet, improved the lower trolley, with Lin Ye's modern thinking, can make the trolley more simplified, more effective, to put it bluntly, similar to the dump trolley on the modern construction site.

According to the original plan of the Eight Feet, it was intended to be constructed as the main body of the town with houses made of wood and stone.

He is very experienced in this.

However, Lin Ye thought that this kind of house was not strong, and it was labor-intensive, so he excavated an earthen kiln nearby and tried to burn bricks.

At first, Eight Feet disagreed with this, thinking that a house made of dirt was the real instability.

Until the first batch of red bricks came out, the eyes of the eight feet were straight, and the seemingly soft clay could be so square and firm?

However, Lin Ye was not satisfied with this, and destroyed all these red bricks and re-fired them.

At the same time, he began to develop a method for natural cement.

He remembers that the original cement was made of lime and volcanic ash, and later French engineers discovered that the performance of cement could be maximized by mixing lime and clay in a three-to-one ratio and grinding.

Of course, these are all early cements, which are very different from the regular cements of various high grades later.

But this is enough for a low-rise building with a medieval background.

The firing of red bricks and the blending of cement are carried out simultaneously.

A week later, Eight Feet was amazed by the neatness and hardness of the red bricks, and he was ecstatic about the adhesion of the cement.

There are red bricks and cement, and the construction speed increases exponentially.

"Sure enough, it's not wrong. "It's very gratifying to see the towns that are being built at a rapid pace with the naked eye, every day.

At the same time, the construction of the fishing grounds in the port and the mining of the Panshan coal mine are going smoothly.

Although the amount of coal mined is still very low, Lin Ye is already working on the construction of iron-making furnaces.

The construction of the entire Black Fire Castle is in full swing.

There is a steady stream of grain from the major tribes, as well as the harvest from the fishing grounds in the port.

The people of Blackfire Castle worked together to survive the food crisis, and a week later, a flock of seagulls flew into the harbor.

Ababa, who had been at sea for a month, finally returned.

He returned with four ships, compared to the two ships he had left.

Twice as much as when he left!

"Boy, those beers you brewed here are really good things, not only did the two boatloads of beer exchange for four ships of supplies, but also brought you hundreds of people. After getting off the boat at the port, Ababa gave Lin Ye a bear hug.

He was very proud of watching the soldiers push cartloads of supplies down from the ship.

At the same time, he introduced more than 20 businessmen to Lin Ye one by one.

These are the merchants of Fish Leap Harbor, who are deeply aware of the potential of beer, and unanimously ask to follow Abbaba to the place where the beer is produced.

Not only that, but there were hundreds of adventurous young men who followed Ababa to what he called "Promised Land".

He went to sea this time, not only in exchange for a large amount of supplies, but also brought back hundreds of people.

It's a win-win-win-win

And the population of Blackfire Castle, plus some of the orcs who are stationed, is close to 5,000!

Compared to the hundreds at the beginning, it has increased nearly tenfold!

"Looks like the town needs to speed up a bit. Lin Ye stood on the tower of the Black Fire Castle, looking at the rudiments of the town not far away.

Under the sunset, although people are still living in temporary settlements, there is a lot of laughter and laughter.

Young men and women sing and dance.

This should be the so-called happiness trouble.

"My lord, the army has been assembled, what is our goal?" Kate stood behind Lin Ye.

By order of the Duke, he gathered 500 soldiers.

If this had been a few months ago, it would have been unthinkable.

But now let alone 500 people, even an army of 1,500 people can be easily summoned.

"Don't be so nervous, we're not going to war, we're just going to visit a few tribes, and we're always courteous to be taken care of by them before, and we can't just have coal mines, we have to control a few iron mines to develop the steel industry." Lin Ye smiled and groaned.

Turn away from the tower.

Let's go!
