But José still found a lot of useful things from the ship, such as something that could be used on the mainland of Ceylon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, there is steel! This large icebreaker has thousands of tons of high-quality steel, and this terrible production is undoubtedly staggering on the mainland of Ceylon. In fact, the metallurgical level of the mainland of Ceylon is also quite backward, and there is no real steelmaking process at all.

Whether it is in Gilliat or Sadland, the Empire of Light or the Kingdom of Macedonia, the weapons used in the human world are all iron, and it seems that no one has mastered steelmaking technology here, and it is said that only in the far west of the continent, those dwarves who live on the wild plateau, have mastered a lot of advanced iron-smelting and forging technology. The weapons produced by the dwarves are famous on the mainland, and even now the weapon shops in many parts of the human world are branded with authentic dwarf masters, as for how many are real, only God knows.

So José's first thought was to use this steel to reforge and build weapons! If such a batch of steel swords and scimitars were made, they would inevitably be much sharper and more wear-resistant than ordinary iron plates, and an army equipped with a batch of steel equipment and weapons could be said to be a revolutionary breakthrough in weapons in the Ceylon Empire! So he quickly got a small piece of steel from the icebreaker and let the craftsmen in the workshop forge it. Although this strange metal with its incomparable toughness made many craftsmen dumbfounded, it was not long before the mind and dexterity were put back into the furnace to forge the steel.

Although the quality of the steel in the second furnace has obviously decreased a lot, and the blacksmiths in these shops are not skilled blacksmiths themselves, the quality of the first batch of finished weapons is not good. However, after all, it was a sword made of steel, which was naturally much better than an ordinary iron sword, so the first batch of José built about two thousand scimitars. It took José about half a month just to unload the steel from the icebreaker.

But this icebreaker is a secret in his own hands after all, and Josse is not willing to let others know, so even if the efficiency is a little slower, José would rather take his own time. After the first weapons were made, they were distributed by Joseph to his own 2,000 personal guards cavalry, especially his own slave warriors. It's not that José is deliberately biased, after all, good steel is used on the blade, and these high-quality weapons naturally need to be equipped with the most elite soldiers in order to play their best role. And according to the current forging technology, José didn't want to waste these precious steels like this, and it was really troublesome to forge these things, so after the first batch of weapons was completed, José really didn't bother to cast them anymore.

Steel is forged into weapons, which can naturally arm soldiers and increase the combat effectiveness of the army, but José soon finds something more important from the icebreaker - food!

Not ordinary grains, of course, but seeds of some plants, including seeds of plants such as corn and tomatoes. This is also the second thing that José has been busy with in the past six months, these things are all found by José from the abandoned storage room, although most of these things are no longer edible. But José still had the mentality of trying it out, and planted these things in the backyard of the county guard's house, and in the end they all sprouted and bore fruit.

José suddenly felt a little like Robinson on the desert island, if nothing else, at least corn, a high-yield crop, was perfect for the Northwest. There were no crops such as corn and tomatoes on the continent of Ceylon, and the Empire of Light mainly fed on a wheat-based plant, somewhat similar to crops such as oats in the West. Of course, the yield of this crop is naturally not high, especially in a barren place like the northwest, and when the war comes, it will inevitably cause a large-scale famine due to food shortages.

So when Chaucer planted these corn seedlings, he realized that this crop could make a huge difference in the Northwest! After much searching, he finally found two bags of corn and a bag of wheat seeds in the icebreaker's storage room. No way, most of the rest is some flour and cooked food, and a lot of canned food, and it's hard to find these seeds.

These precious seeds were carefully preserved by Jose, and he specially opened a large experimental field in the backyard of the county guard's mansion and planted all these corn seeds. The first crop of corn had already grown fruit, and although it was not yet ripe, Jose was still quite excited when he looked at the large cornfield. He wasn't going to eat the corn, and after the first harvest, José would have access to tens of thousands of corn seeds, which he believed would bring him great benefit in the future.

It only takes a few years, and with its own promotion, this high-yielding crop can take root in the Northwest, which will be enough to save the Northwest people who may starve to death due to famine in the future. What's more, if you popularize these crops in the northwest, at least you don't have to worry about those food and displaced people.

Of course, his attention has been focused on the newly discovered crude oil for a while, which is obviously a waste of luxury for lighting. Both the Empire of Light and the Macedonians were convinced of this, so these oils were sometimes used in military applications. However, because the natives of the mainland of Ceylon do not understand oil extraction technology at all, most of the time they can find some oil fields with shallow reserves, such as the oil field discovered by Sadland when the mountain was opened.

But Jose knew the benefits of this kind of thing, and even if it wasn't needed now, it couldn't be wasted. So he quickly sent men to guard the mountain pass where the oil was produced. However, after José's field trip, he unexpectedly discovered that the large area of the mountain was bubbling with black and some green fluorescent crude oil, and a small oil pit had formed in the low-lying area. So Jose ordered the men to keep watch and strictly restrict anyone from using the fire.

After mastering this oil mine, Jose collected a lot of oil samples, and even loaded a full wagon with water trucks, and then transported them directly to the laboratory in his backyard in the county guard's mansion. He then moved headlong into his own laboratory, and gathered several of his main generals and officials, announcing that the affairs of the city would be temporarily handed over to Sophia, and the military would be managed by Alok. In the meantime, don't bother him unless there's a serious military briefing, no matter what happens......
