Zhang Lisheng was very utilitarian, and he didn't ask about the process and only looked at the result, which made Aruba, who was originally talking, choked.

After looking down for a long time, the leader of the craftsmen of the tribe gave the answer, "Great conqueror, the key to building an iron ship is to rebuild the dock, and I have calculated that the first iron ship should be launched after the sun rises and sets forty times.

However, as you gain experience, you will be able to build ships faster and faster, and at the coldest of winter, you will be able to get at least forty iron ships capable of transporting 5,000 Inferents to the seas.

It should be enough for the expedition. ”

"Can it be so fast?" Zhang Lisheng, who thought that he would have to wait at least two or three years, was calculated according to the shipbuilding speed of the shipyard in the earth's steam age, and asked in astonishment.

"Conqueror, there are ninety-seven iron-forging workshops like this, there are ninety-seven in the Red Mountain Furnace," Aruba's face suddenly flashed with pride, and he pointed to the wooden frame dozens of meters beside him, and said categorically: "Thousands of craftsmen with 'partners' and 100,000 Wuli people work day and night in the 'furnace' and dock, and they will definitely be able to build enough iron ships for you in winter." ”

"Aruba, I'm sure you can do what you say. Zhang Lisheng nodded with appreciation on his face, then thought for a while and suddenly said: "By the way, I have another interesting thing to show you, which should inspire you to build ships faster." ”

As he spoke, the young man walked to the mountain of stone molds on the side, picked up a dirty cloth from the ground to wipe the mold, pulled out a dozen tough silk threads from the rough corners of the cloth, crumpled them into a ball, and turned the dirty cloth into a crumpled and irregular parachute shape.

Then the young man came to the edge of the sea of fire, and his palms turned into sharp claws. He scooped up a handful of hot magma from the boiling lava with his bare hands and wrapped it in the thread.

The magma adhered to the mass of high-temperature silk thread and continued to burn the air, and after a while, the whole dirty cloth swelled, and then Zhang Lisheng relaxed his hand, and saw the cloth slowly fly into the air.

The young man was just doing the simplest hot air balloon experiment, but in the eyes of the Wu Li craftsman, he felt extremely expressive, especially when Aruba saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he seemed to have forgotten that the tribal master was by his side, his eyes stared at the flying mottled dirty cloth, and muttered, "Fly." flew

It flew. It flew..."

"Yes, it flew," Zhang Lisheng shrugged and walked back to Du Mulu's side and said, "After imitating the iron ship, you will study how to make this flying cloth ten million times larger, so that it can fly with living people and cargo." ”

"Great conqueror, it's simple. Install a wooden cabin like a ship's cabin under a cloth block. Driven by steam propellers on iron ships. It's going to run, no, it's going to fly fast," Aruba looked up at the lava burned. The dirty cloth that began to fall slowly, seeing the slight knowledge, saw through the key at a glance and said.

"It seems that I don't need to prompt anything more Aruba, this kind of flying cloth is called an airship, try to make it in the future. ”

"Airship, airship," Aruba muttered, "this is a strange thing.

Thank you, great conqueror, for lifting a new curtain for me. The leader of the craftsmen of Wu Li bent deeply towards the conqueror.

"I've just lifted a cloth for you, and the truly wonderful world still needs you to discover for yourself. Zhang Lisheng smiled dumbly, "Okay, I won't disturb your work, go and continue your whimsy, Aruba." ”

After saying this, Lord Wu Li turned around to leave, and suddenly heard the hesitant voice of the tribal craftsman leader from behind, "Great conqueror, I, I have one thing I want to you, to you..."

"Tell me anything, Dumuru. Zhang Lisheng stopped, turned his head and looked at the leader of the Wuli craftsmen who wanted to speak and stopped.

"So, great conqueror, I have discovered through the enlightenment of your wisdom that sometimes the mind of a good craftsman is worth the toil of a hundred strong servants of Hell day and night, and that the craftsmen of 'Wuli' are now many, but they are not enough to meet the need..."

"Do you want to pick some more craftsmen among your clan, that's fine. Zhang Lisheng interjected with a smile.

"But the average Hell Man could not read the word at all, and more than eighty percent of them used bark ropes to tie knots for their records, and they could not become craftsmen at all. ”

"Then you craftsmen will work hard, choose some clever clansmen to teach the script first..."Zhang Lisheng said casually, suddenly found that Du Mulu's eyes flashed with a strange bright light, and his heart suddenly moved, "Aruba, you, do you want to teach all the Wuli people the words?"

"Yes, great conqueror," said Dumuru, kneeling on the ground despite the heat of the land, prostrate himself, "the craftsmen of the tribe have no time, but many of the warrior chiefs know the written word, and I wish you to order that they teach the written word to the people at night after a day's work." ”

Words are the bearer of civilization, and the development of civilization comes from accumulation.

Taking the earth's civilization as an example, for thousands of years before and after the Common Era, human beings have lived the same days of fighting for land with swords and guns, and using livestock to cultivate and graze for food, without any essential changes.

But when the thickness of civilization accumulated to a certain extent, one day a group of pioneer-level great scientific giants suddenly emerged in the world, so in just a few decades, the height of civilization was pushed to an unprecedented peak.

The reason why the Wuli tribe, which is obviously still in the stage of primitive civilization, can miraculously carry out industrial mechanical production is that Zhang Lisheng stole the most basic and most essential massive physical knowledge from the earth civilization, and used Du Mulu, a rare genius among the native people for 10,000 years, as the introduction, and collided with the craftsman experience passed down from generation to generation by the craftsmen of the Hell natives, bursting out with brilliant sparks.

To have such an unexpected and perfect result, in fact, it has already been completely unexpected by Zhang Lisheng, and he vaguely understands in his heart that this kind of coincidence like winning a lottery ticket, the forcible increase in production capacity is actually like a castle built on a pile of sand, and it may suddenly collapse overnight.

The only way to avoid this and make the castle strong is to lay a solid foundation, and the best way to do that is to turn the barren sands of civilization into a flat land full of knowledge.

Awakened by Aruba's words, Zhang Lisheng said thoughtfully: "Aruba, your idea is very good, but it's not a good idea to let the warriors spread civilization, it's more appropriate to let the craftsmen do this kind of thing...

Well, in this case, you send all the craftsmen over the age of fifty-five, even if it is okay to delay the imitation of the iron ship, and let them be led by your father to teach the words and spread the knowledge to all the Wuli people except the warriors after the night labor.

In the last ten days of each year, ordinary people are allowed to recommend themselves to craftsmen, show their skills and minds, and become apprentices of craftsmen, and the number of people is limited to 5/1000 of the tribal population.

Fifty percent of these apprentices were eliminated one year later, another forty percent the next year, and the rest of the gifted 'partners' became official craftsmen, and this event became a permanent practice for the Wuli tribe. ”

"Great conqueror, your wisdom makes me afraid to mention the word 'wisdom' again. Aruba's whole body was covered with sour sweat, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Please rest assured, I will not delay the casting of the iron ship, and you will surely spread your wisdom to the other islands in the early spring of next year." ”

"You don't have to fight for your life, Aruba, you are worth more than one or two small islands in my opinion.

Get up, work in this hot volcano and remember to drink plenty of water, I'm leaving. Saying that, Zhang Lisheng walked away briskly.

Looking at his back slowly disappearing in the distorted firelight, the head of the craftsmen of the Wuli tribe showed a fanatical worship in his eyes, which was diametrically opposed to his wisdom, and staggered to his feet, ignoring the burns on his chest and legs, and shouted hoarsely: "Tuhahan, Doruki... Everyone has heard the words of the conqueror.

From then on, the importance of the leader of the craftsmen in the Wuli tribe did not have to be low for the leader of the warriors.

Quick, quick, let this great machine move, we must build an iron ship as fast as possible, and let the conqueror know how wise his decision is..."

"Yes, Chief. Dozens of craftsmen beside the lava replied in high spirits, drank a few sips of hot water, and drove the beast to start working hard again, but Zhang Lisheng had already walked out of the volcano quickly at this time, and took a big breath of the cool air of the island.

In the next few days, the lord of Wu Li would blow the sea breeze on the beach, practice with secret methods, replenish the witch insects in his flesh and blood, hunt fierce beasts to kill time, and before he knew it, he would leave the day he expected.

In the early morning, the sky overhead was full of dark clouds, and it looked like a thunderstorm was about to pour, Zhang Lisheng walked out of the treehouse where the tribe enshrined the 'annals of history', looked at the totem pole close at hand, and suppressed the urge to harvest the power of the faith of the people of hell.

He muttered to himself, "It's only been less than ten days since the last harvest, so it's better to wait a little longer, so as not to be disappointed...", he grew cyan scales all around his body, and clouds gathered under his feet, and just as he was about to take off, he suddenly saw a herald warrior driving the giant spider under his crotch to rush over, turn over and fall to the ground, "Great conqueror, the fierce beast you want has appeared." ”

"Fierce beasts," Zhang Lisheng pouted, "It's not carnivores like tyrannical bears and haolin leopards, right?"

Witch beasts that can produce beast souls and be absorbed by witches are rarer than witch worms, and in just a few days, the young man has experienced several disappointments, and there is not much hope in all his tones.

"Conqueror, a ten-man hunting party that didn't return last night has left only one seriously wounded warrior to flee back to the tribe this morning, and they have encountered a dragon!" (To be continued......)
