In December of the year 640 in the Femon calendar, a pamphlet titled "On the Origins of Human Inequality" became required reading for the Santan Academy of Magic, the Misty Town Apothecary, the Pampelo School, and the Fog City Engineering Academy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The booklet, signed Wesley Borg, but actually ghostwritten by Donner, is a patchwork of unsystematic contents, and its critique of the existing system of imperial power, aristocracy, and serfdom is an understatement.

This was partly because Donner only remembered the approximate name of Rousseau's remarkable book and knew nothing about its contents, and partly because it was so receptive to the reader's acceptance that the children would not have dared to read it if it had been written too explicitly.

In the first few months of circulation, this pamphlet did not cause much effect in several academies, but instead set off a great discussion in the aristocratic salon of Cohenas.

The reason is that this pamphlet is mixed with some secret stories of the nobility compiled by Wesley. These storylines are bloody, the characters are wonderful, and they are very readable. In the eyes of the nobles who had enough to eat and had nothing to do, the description of the decadent life of the aristocracy in the book turned out to be a guide for the aristocratic class for a while.

There are even good deeds who have found the prototypes of the characters in the bloody stories in the book, and several of them are actually Count Borg himself.

Wesley, however, didn't care about any of this, and was even a little proud - as the stories spread, the young ladies who came to Maple Leaf County from Coenas to "mingle" him became even more frequent.

Compared with his chic and comfortable life, Donner is much more difficult.

After the completion of the Lingbei Reservoir in the southern part of Santanhang Province, he often traveled back and forth between the Fog Castle and the reservoir, presiding over the expansion of the Fog Castle and preparing to build a small factory on the side of the Fog Reservoir.

The start-up team of this small factory, known as the Lingbei Machinery Factory, was the first batch of human students from the Fog City Engineering Academy, and the factory director was Danny, who was only 17 years old.

The power of the machinery factory comes from the height difference of more than 200 meters at the reservoir outlet, and the parts of various lathes are transported here after the processing is completed in Wucheng, and then the assembly is completed.

The scale and production capacity of the Lingbei Machinery Factory are much smaller than those of the Wucheng Factory, and the products produced are also different from those of the Wucheng Factory.

After several months of infrastructure construction and coordination, the factory finally produced its first product, a table clock, in the month of doom in the year 840 of the Femont calendar.

The clock, which was wound for more than a year and had an error of less than a minute per day, fetched more than a thousand gold coins in Coennas, together with the shell carefully crafted by the woodsmiths.

In fact, Donner didn't need these gold coins, the more than a hundred amethysts he brought back from the Magic Continent had not been used much until now, not to mention, he also had the full support of the Far North Country, a thousand gold coins were just a few blue crystals.

His preparation for the construction of the Lingbei factory has a different significance.

On the one hand, he wanted Danny and the others to mature as soon as possible while completing the production task alone, and on the other hand, he also wanted to separate the work of precision manufacturing from Fog City and put it in the hands of humans.

Of course, a grandfather clock with a time deviation of nearly one minute is not precise, but after all, this is the first step taken by the Lingbei factory, and there is still time in the future.

In the middle of the month of Doom, Moen completed the preparation of all two hundred and twelve magic potions, carefully packaged and sealed, and handed them to Donner.

Over the next few days, Donner demonstrated a series of basic chemical reactions in front of five pharmacists.

In the incredulous gaze of Moen and others, he proved the existence of air, the conservation of mass in chemical reactions...... Aside from the fact that the variety of metals has greatly increased, the basic chemistry of this world is not much different from that of the earth.

Pharmacists such as Moen and Pinault were fascinated by this new discipline. With their deep foundation of pharmaceutical experimental capabilities and the guidance of Donner's general direction, the basic chemistry system is being established rapidly.

In the last days of the year, Wesley took Una and Layla to Coenas.

Donner, however, remained at the School of Pharmacy, working with five pharmacists.

After the month of bad luck, on the first day of January in the eighty-first year of the Fei Meng calendar, more than a hundred teachers and students of the Misty Town Pharmacy Academy gathered in the open space at the entrance of the academy.

In the bleak north wind, Donner personally took down the name plate of the Misty Town Pharmacy Academy and hung the brand new "Misty Chemical Engineering College" name tag on the front of the college.

Although the more than 100 students of the academy did not understand the meaning of the new word "chemical engineering", when they saw Duke Vane personally change the name of the academy, Dean Moen was even more excited and shed tears, and they all applauded vigorously.

At this moment, Coenas was crowded, and Empress Lucia, surrounded by the Royal Knights, toured the city for the first time. The streets of the Queen's carriage were paved with flowers, and the smell of flowers, wine and food filled the city.

The first New Year after the Farewell Moon of Doom is the most joyous festival every quinquennium, and every empire, every city, and every street in Middle-earth is filled with festive joy.

However, in the clearing on the north side of Misty Town, this name change ceremony, which was only witnessed by more than a hundred people, was the most important event on this day on this planet.

......

In January 641, Merkel approached Donner at the Misty School of Chemical Engineering and brought him a message.

After nearly a year of excavation and exploration by thousands of laborers, and the verification of dozens of blacksmiths, it has been confirmed that among the more than 10 existing iron mines in the three northern provinces, the Aili iron ore mine in the south of the Ovier province is the one with the largest reserves, the highest quality ore, and the easiest to mine.

On the same day, Downer and Merkel traveled to the province of Ovieer.

Ten days later, he demarcated three areas near the Avery iron ore mine, and asked Merkel to build a reservoir there, and on the north side of the three reservoirs, build a road to the iron ore.

The project, which will take about three years to complete, will not only make it the second largest industrial base after Fog City, but also provide agricultural irrigation downstream and add hundreds of square kilometers of arable land.

In fact, by the 641 year of the Femon calendar, with the completion of the Lingbei Reservoir and three water diversion projects in Santan Province, tens of thousands of hectares of wasteland in Santan Province were ready for cultivation. However, Downer couldn't find anyone to grow the land.

Although under his benevolent rule, farmers are no longer subject to additional exploitation and the fertility rate is steadily rising, the problem of labor shortage has not been solved in a short period of time.

Donner had two options, either to absorb immigrants from elsewhere or to produce farm machinery as quickly as possible to increase agricultural productivity.

He decided to do both.
