Chapter 46 Controlling the Mine
Blacksmith Abel saw the steam engine pulling more than a dozen mine cars out of the mine in one breath. He was so excited that he suffocated and fainted.
Before he fell into a coma, Abel said only one thing.
"The machine I made is so powerful, hahahahaha--"
Then he was so happy that he suffocated and fainted.
When Alan saw Abel fainting, he immediately sent someone to breathe, and found that Abel was not dead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The other blacksmiths were so excited that they wanted to get close to the steam engine in their working state and observe it up close, but Allen quickly stopped them.
"Don't you see the white steam? As long as you are touched by high-temperature steam, you will directly burn your skin. Don't be lucky."
The blacksmiths looked at the gushing white mist, their whole bodies shivered, and immediately controlled their feet and stopped moving forward.
Allen explained in detail the dangers of high-temperature steam, and the slaves operating the steam engine also showed a fearful expression, but Allen promised the promotion opportunity for free people to be promoted and could not retreat.
When everyone was afraid of the steam engine and worshipped the steam engine, Windsor's focus was different from that of everyone. She aimed at the traction structure of the steam engine and the mine truck.
Obviously, the steam engine only replaces the human power part, and the traction mechanism of this set of mine pullers exists independently, so the steam engine can also replace a large amount of manpower in other fields.
After figuring out this key, Windsor discovered that the significance of the invention of the steam engine was to replace human power?
Just kidding, if there are too many places that require manpower, how can it be completely replaced? Therefore, the emergence of steam engines should be something that orcs cannot do.
Windsor made random analysis and felt confused, so he asked Allen what else could do in the future.
Allen shook his head: "There are too many things that the steam engine can do, such as pumping water from the mine, and using the huge power of the steam engine to make the boring machine, cutting speed is faster and more violent, etc."
Windsor nodded, inspired by Allen, she could think of more applications.
When the blacksmiths heard the combination of steam engine and boring machine, the principle of the chamber bed technology emerged in their minds. They thought about the possibility of rotating water into steam engines for a few minutes. They felt that the method was feasible, so they excitedly discussed specific process issues with Allen.
Allen and the blacksmiths discussed the steam boring machine. The top eloquent eloquence secretly made a sound and pointed at the steam engine on the spot to make various gestures. The blacksmith understood.
Abel was also photographed awake. As soon as he woke up, he heard Allen talk about the steam-powered boring machine, and almost fainted from happiness.
Fortunately, he didn't faint and listened to the detailed assembly theory of the whole process.
It is still difficult to make the steam engine now. The success of yesterday was because the accessories were made in advance, and the cylinder and piston were not built.
Even so, the water wheel boring machine was cut for most of the day, but the water flow was turbulent that day, which increased the cutting force of the water wheel boring machine. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take to cut.
After transporting the mine truck, Allen ordered people to transport the steam engine back to the blacksmith shop, preparing to transform a steam boring machine and seize the time to build the steam engine.
The lion soldiers guarding the mine had their eyes green and wanted to step forward to leave the steam engine, but Allen solemnly refused, saying that there would be a pumping steam engine and a mine transport steam engine in the southern mine soon, so don't worry.
The lion soldier then felt at ease and began to preside over the matter of slaves pulling mines to the estuary of the west bank.
Alan blinked at the villagers, pointed at the lion soldiers secretly, and then gestured his neck.
After seeing the steam engine, the lion soldiers would transport the mine to the west bank river estuary and transport the mine to the morning glory town's mine transport ships, which would not avoid communicating with the mine transport manager.
In order to prevent the steam engine information from being exposed and to annex the entire southern mine, Allen decided to send an assassin regiment to assassinate all mine soldiers.
One hundred lion soldiers scattered into a long dragon, and various presided over the slave team to transport mines. The villagers looked at each other and walked forward with their own words and laughter.
The lion soldiers walked slowly with the sword in their hands. Their eyes were not always on the slaves, and talking about the steam engine with their companions was the fun today.
"I'll tell you, this steam engine is amazing. I'll talk to the iron ore manager of Morning Glory Town later and let him recall Allen to Morning Glory Town to shine and heat."
"Well, Lord Allen has suffered in Datie Village and shouldn't be trapped in Morning Glory Town." The lion soldiers were excited to discuss where Allen was going. They were behind the news and did not know that Allen had become hostile to Morning Glory Town.
Not all corpses have pigeons. Lion soldiers usually live on the mountain to watch slaves and rarely go down the mountain. Alan also consciously blocks the information exchange in the mine, so they don’t know the changes in the outside world.
The villagers naturally looked beside the lion soldiers and greeted the lions with a smile.
These lion soldiers were unaware of it, and some lion men nodded and agreed to the other party's greeting.
Those orcs are free people, not slaves. Even if they say hello to them, there is no need to answer seriously. Nodding is the greatest respect the lion soldiers in Morning Glory Town to the villagers.
However, it is no joke that the whole village is full of soldiers. When the last two villagers walked behind the last lion soldier, the orcs in the village moved.
Swish!
The assassins' movements were like black shadows, and a blood column flashed through them.
Some lion soldiers widened their eyes and wanted to pull out the long sword in their hands, but no one could resist successfully.
They were two or three people acting at the same time, one cut the throat, one locked the joints, and one kicked the grandson directly.
Even the strongest Lion Man could not stand these three sets, and he died of hatred within one or two seconds.
The road down the mountain was soon filled with blood. The slaves who were holding the mine cart screamed in fear and were immediately stabilized by the assassins.
"Listen to the slaves of the mine, you used to be slaves of the mines in the south, and they were not managed by Datie Village.
But now it’s different. Datie Village will take over the rule of the southern mine. As long as you work hard in the future, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a free citizen.
Each person who has been promoted to a successful house, I promise!”
Alan's voice was calm and powerful, causing the uneasy slaves to express their confusion and joy.
There are many slaves in the mines in the southern region, and more than a thousand people are directly managed by the lion soldiers in Morning Glory Town. Allen is the nominal immediate boss, so his words are still very useful.
Now, when hearing Allen's speech, most of the slaves knelt on the ground to thank Allen for their gratitude.
Allen knew that this was just a slave's superficial thanks, and if there was no actual reward in front of him, not many slaves believed him.
"To celebrate the return of the southern mine to the management of Datiang Village, I decided to serve porridge for free. You can go to the village to eat white rice porridge under the leadership of the villagers.
At the porridge distribution site, the priest Hood will re-arrange your work. Slaves who were carpenters used to be can join the carpenter group. If they are stonemasons, they will join the stonemason group. Those who are literate will be promoted to free people..."
The more than a thousand slaves in the mine were liberated, and the entire village of Allen was to a higher level, which must have been a difficult assignment for Hood.
Hood wielded his sweat and carefully communicated with Allen about the next work. After understanding the assignment of tasks later, he ran down the mountain with a burning butt to preside over the slave food.
Windsor stood next to Allen and watched Allen conquer the southern mines, feeling that Allen was a little anxious.
That was the mine soldiers of Morning Glory Town. They killed them all, and Morning Glory Town didn't fight for him.
But she thought instead that Allen had even invented the steam engine, and there was something else he dared not do.
Even if Morning Glory Town comes to the door tomorrow, Allen dares to lead all the villagers to carry out sneak assassination plan.
Soon, she figured it out that the display of the power of the steam engine was to increase the villagers' confidence in fighting against Morning Glory Town.
After all, Morning Glory Town is a huge monster. The cement brick wall being built outside the village recently also proves that Datie Village may face the anger of Morning Glory Town.
There are more than a thousand slaves in the village and more than a thousand slaves in the mine have also been subdued. Morning Glory Town will definitely send troops to slaughter the Datie Village.
The villagers have not shown any excessive worry yet, but after waiting for a long time, there is still a possibility that people's sentiment is unstable.
Now that the power of the steam engine is shown, all the villagers' hearts have temporarily fallen to the ground, but it is not yet time to be absolutely at ease.
Allen, what other means does he have not used?
Windsor stared at Allen's face and found that the village chief was very calm. This made her think about it and she couldn't guess what the village chief thoughts were.
"Master Alan, what if Morning Glory Town sends troops south in a few days?"
"There are Taurus who restrained them, and the army did not move. It was useless for the little shrimp to go south by boat. Our five hundred assassins were fighting at home, so we were not afraid at all."
When Allen saw that Windsor's tail was obviously curious, she knew that she was not worried, but was very curious about how he dealt with it.
"But..." Windsor was still worried.
"We don't have enough steel and need more iron ore, and these need to be taken from the hands of the lions."
Allen explained the reasons for the action and said confidently:
"When Morning Glory Town has time to cook us, our flintlock spear has been born."
