Compared with the passion of the Warcraft Legion training base, the Pharmacist Academy next door is another picture.

At first glance, Hudson thought he was in the wrong place and ran into the slaughterhouse.

There were screams of animals everywhere, and it was hard to imagine that this was training pharmacists.

"Lord Count, why are you here?

The place here is filthy, your status is honorable, you have to ......"

Before the old pharmacist could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted with a wave of his hand, "It's okay, I'll come and have a look."

Mr. Shabertay, what is this training and how is it ......"

"Dear Earl, this is the apprentices practicing bone correction. To be on the safe side, let them experiment on animals first.

Some unruly fellows, who have not attacked any of them, have disturbed the Earl, and I will punish them......"

Shaberthai said tremblingly.

Obviously, the long-term repression of the Holy See has made the pharmacists lose their arrogance.

Even in a country like the Alpha Kingdom that does not buy papal accounts, the status of a pharmacist is a lowly profession, and he can only survive in the cracks at the bottom.

It's hard to find a good job, and Sha Botai doesn't want to lose his job because he offends the lord.

"Don't be nervous, you trained you, I'm just coming over and seeing.

You must know that your master came out of the battlefield, and a few small scenes don't matter at all.

Teach according to your plan and train me a batch of qualified pharmacists as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can ask the Ministry of Administration, and they will take care of the arrangements.

You go ahead and get busy, I'm going to have to go around! ”

Hudson said helplessly.

The hierarchical world is so cruel that the slightest emotion from the superior makes the people below tremble.

If Hudson hadn't explained, many of the students would have suffered unjustified disasters.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it is not difficult to understand why the pharmacist is so down.

The priest only needs a magic spell to instantly restore the wounded, but the pharmacist has to make such a big scene.

If it's just like that, it's not unacceptable for the sake of the side effects being smaller than the magic arts.

However, there are also "magic apothecaries" competing with them, and they are also playing with medicine, and their identities and statuses are completely different if they have two more words.

Although the effect of magic potions is not as immediate as that of magic magic, it is also faster and better than ordinary potions.

Many diseases that cannot be treated with potions can be cured immediately by a pair of magic potions.

In this context, it is natural that the nobles value magic potions with better results. As for the cost of medical care, that's not something for the big guys to consider.

Without the support of the rulers and the oppression of the Holy See, it was not easy for the pharmacists to keep their inheritance, let alone fight for their own social status.

It was precisely because of the hard work of the pharmacists that Hudson was able to gather the teaching staff in the shortest possible time after issuing the recruitment order.

And the level of all applicants is not low, and there is no such thing as indiscriminate filling. In the continent of Aslanth, the price paid by commoners to deceive the nobility was often death.

Hudson has always been very tolerant of talent. Even if the social status of the pharmacist is very low, the treatment he receives in the mountain collar is still not bad.

The effect is also obvious, these potion apprentices who have been studying for a while have been able to prepare the simplest potions to treat some common diseases of the people.

No matter how bad the medical system is, it is better than nothing. Thanks to the efforts of these pharmacists, infant mortality rates in the territory have dropped dramatically.

The results have proved that the promotion of pharmacy at the grassroots level is correct, and it is natural to increase investment.

Hudson's inspection was actually for the territorial bureaucrats. Tell them with practical actions that the lord attaches great importance to the cultivation of pharmacists, and the corresponding work must be done well.

If the development is good, the medical rescue team will also enter the army in the near future.

Purely from the point of view of efficiency, the priest is indeed more suitable for the army, but that thing is kryptonite!

Many veterans who have been treated by priests are aging very quickly, and they have to retire from the battlefield within a few years.

Magic potions are the most ideal, but the price remains high, and it is not easy to meet the needs of officers.

When he had a choice, Hudson still didn't like to use soldiers as consumables.

Even if the troops he commands every time are cannon fodder accounting for the majority, he will try to reduce casualties as much as possible.

Thanks to this philosophy, Hudson's casualties in all the wars he participated in were kept to a low level.

One-third of his title of famous general is promoted by orcs, one-third is touted by nobles, and one-third is a low-level soldier.

During the war, he did not have such a big name as he is now, but after the end of the war, after a large number of propaganda from the fans, he made his "famous general label" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

……

Going all the way, looking at the country he had beaten down, Hudson couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

It is difficult to start a business, and he can run such a foundation in just a few years, and he himself feels a little incredible when he looks back.

The untraceable swamp was the place where his dream began, and now it has become a vast field of fertile land, and it may not be long before the swamp becomes history.

As he walked down the canal, Hudson couldn't help but smile as he watched the smoke waft from both banks.

The canal economy has already begun, and although it is still a young seedling, the tolls are not enough to cover the canal maintenance fee, which is also a good start.

Troubled times bring both "risks" and "opportunities". Whether we can go further in the troubled times depends on whether we can survive the crisis and seize the opportunity.

"Lord Earl, this warship is the first large warship built after the shipyard was relocated.

The ship is designed to be 72 meters long, 17 meters wide, and has a displacement of 2,486 tons, and is planned to be equipped with six magic crystal cannons and medium-sized magic crossbows......

With a full complement of nine hundred and twenty-three people, the whole ship needs to depict thirty-six magic arrays of various types, with a normal sailing speed of fifteen kilometers per hour, and a maximum speed of thirty kilometers per hour for driving the magic array.

Depending on the direction of the wind, the speed will increase slightly if it is downwind and decrease accordingly when it is upwind......"

Perhaps fearing that Hudson would not understand, Sears used as much plain language as he could, but it was still useless.

After saying a lot of words, Hudson finally remembered that the warship entered the second echelon.

In Hudson's impression, a large ship, a large number of magic crystal cannons, and a high level of magic array mean that they have strong combat effectiveness.

At present, the largest warship has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons. The level of the magic array is unknown, and there are four more magic crystal cannons anyway.

Of course, in addition to increasing the number of magic crystal cannons, there are also people working on magic crystal cannons.

Hudson also did not know exactly where it had developed.

Anyway, he needs the magic crystal cannon now, which is directly purchased from the Ministry of Military Affairs, and basically represents the most advanced technology of the Alpha Kingdom.

Independent research and development, I don't have that idea for the time being. The technical content of the magic crystal cannon is too high, and the mountain collar can't touch it in a short time.

Even if there is a bunch of artillery casting materials in hand, it is only a theoretical basis, and there is still a long way to go from the current advanced level of the mainland.

Perhaps, in the continental war, after the collapse of some unlucky small countries, there will be an outflow of talents of this level.

Until then, there is no need to count on it. As far as Hudson knew, there were only two or three of the great nobles in the Alpha Kingdom who could forge magic crystal cannons alone.

Other big families did not do it themselves, not because they did not have technical reserves, but mainly because of cost.

Originally, the magic crystal cannon was a niche product, and most of the nobles had limited demand, except for the big nobles who were engaged in overseas trade and were in northern Xinjiang.

The number of cities in his hands is so much. All of them are equipped, and there are only dozens of them.

These big guys don't need to be changed every day, once they are on the city wall, they usually start with a service time of 30 years, and they can be used after two or three hundred years of maintenance.

With such a little market demand, running to open a production line must be a blood loss.

If one can't do it, then everyone will work together. Except for a few wealthy and in-demand aristocratic independent special banks, the rest were all taken from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

For Hudson, this is clearly a good thing. This means that in the initial stage, you can directly buy the finished product of the magic crystal cannon, and you don't need to spend a lot of time and invest a huge amount of money in production and research and development.

"Mr. Sears, when will this warship be able to enter service?"

Hudson asked, pointing to the keel in the dock.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Continental War, Hudson would definitely be one step at a time, first building canal merchant ships and pirate ships to accumulate experience, and then slowly getting involved in the manufacture of ocean-going merchant ships and warships.

As soon as the continental war broke out, the original plan could not keep up with the times. In order to meet the real needs, Hudson had to build several merchant ships capable of dealing with pirates.

It's not for trade, it's just to protect their merchant ships and bring back a large number of people from overseas.

The orc army is back, and without external support, it is only a matter of time before the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe fall.

Hudson has calculated that in the last two or three years, the population of the major forces has been successively sent to the prairie, at least three or four million.

With so many people, it will definitely not be possible to evacuate for a while. The magnates themselves are not protected, so they can't take care of the serfs under them.

It was a good deal, whether it was to receive refugees in the past, or to buy serfs directly from the local noble lords.

Hudson's requirements were not high, as long as he could take in one or twenty percent of the population from it, it would be enough for the mountain collar to be fed.

In fact, the countries on the western side of the northern continent have larger populations, but the distance in the middle is too long, and they have to pass through many countries.

Not to mention the difficulty of transportation, it is also prone to various accidents. Even if a large number of refugees are received, only a few can travel thousands or even tens of thousands of miles on foot, and reach the mountain territory safely.

Many more refugees either fell halfway or defected to new masters along the way. But if there is a choice, who wants to be stupid and walk all the way?

If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family. The vast majority of old people and children cannot afford this kind of long journey.

In contrast, the sea route is more reliable. Although the mortality rate at sea is similarly high, it is much lower than migrating on foot.

"Rest assured, Lord Count, we have already hurried the construction period, and it is expected that this warship will be launched by the end of next month.

If the installation of the armament on the follow-up warship goes smoothly, the arrival time of the magic crystal cannon will not be delayed, and the installation will be completed in about two months.

The follow-up magic array depiction needs the help of people from the magic academy, and how long it will take, then it is uncertain.

Several other warships, because of the later start time, have just completed the keel laying, and the completion time is expected to be a few months later.

However, the Earl can rest assured that we are doing our best to complete the construction of the warship in the shortest possible time. ”

Mr. Sears immediately assured.

At the same time, there is also a trace of trepidation between his eyebrows. The shipyard has indeed worked hard, but hard work does not mean that the lord is satisfied.

From the time the military sent people to urge the ship every once in a while, Sears knew that the lord of the lord attached great importance to this matter, lest the progress of building the ship would not meet the requirements.

"Hmmm!

While rushing the construction deadline, it is also necessary to ensure the quality of the warship. The vast ocean is full of uncertainties, and any negligence can lead to catastrophe.

As for the issue of the magic crystal cannon and the magic array, I will personally come forward to coordinate with them, and it will not affect your construction progress.

In addition to these warships, don't forget about the merchant ships under construction. No matter how difficult it is, these ships must be fully operational within the year! ”

Hudson ordered without question.

The deadline is indeed tight, but it is not impossible to complete. Before he came, he had done his homework and had a rough idea of the time it would take to build warships and merchant ships.

After all, it is only a wooden warship, and the power is mainly driven by manpower, and the technical content in the process of building the hull is not so high.

What is really technical is the magic crystal cannon that needs to be installed in the later stage, and the magic array that must be arranged by magicians.

Most of the cost of building a ship is also spent on two major pieces in the later stage. Just building a few ships doesn't really cost much.

"Lord Earl, please rest assured, our shipyard will complete the task on time!"

Sears immediately reassured.
