The appearance of the Great Pyramid excited the entire territory.
Lord Li De, once again showed a miracle! Compared with the last time when the golden light fell from the sky on the sea, a miracle appeared out of thin air, which was even more shocking!
And with the completion of the Great Pyramid, the wonders will also benefit the territory.
Van Cleef looked at the majestic Great Pyramid, and the knowledge he had in his mind was instantly integrated. He felt that his masonry skills had become more advanced.
Haggard and Anderson looked at each other speechlessly, but they both saw horror and joy in each other's eyes.
"Our persistence is correct!"
Li De stood under the pyramid and felt the shock at close range. Looking up at the pyramid as tall as a skyscraper, he felt an indescribable emotion.
What kind of wisdom must it have to create such wonders in ancient times?! This is the great power of mankind!
"Ding~ Congratulations to the leader for successfully building the Great Pyramid of Wonders and receiving a reward of 300 productivity points.
(Note: The Great Pyramid will bring the following improvements to the leader’s settlement:
The ability of a production professional under the leader will be upgraded to the master level; the abilities of all production professionals will be upgraded by one level!)"
Unexpectedly, after completing the wonder, there will be point rewards, which Li De did not expect.
The Great Pyramid spent all his points and now only has these 300 points.
Turning around and walking towards the soldier holding his sword, Li De took his sword and turned around again to climb the two steps of the Great Pyramid.
"My brothers and sisters!
The Great Pyramid under my feet is the 'Light of Civilization' that brings us enlightenment. It will always stand in this desert, watching us. Guide us to become stronger, tougher, stronger, and richer!
I declare with honor that from now on, starting from me, everyone will contribute to building our beautiful home!
I will use the sword in my hand to protect all of this! I hope we never have blisters on our hands!"
With Li De's encouragement, people laughed heartily, waved tools or arms and cheered. At this moment, they suddenly felt that being homeless in this distant continent did not seem too bad.
Li De felt a little lucky in his heart. Among the 1,000 of them, except for 100 soldiers, most of them were farmers, craftsmen and small shopkeepers.
If they are all industrious nobles, it will be useless even if they have ten great pyramids.
Encouraged by Li De, large-scale production began in the territory, and people were delighted to find that after having the Great Pyramid, their skills were much more sophisticated than before.
Such changes make them more confident in living a prosperous life.
The one who benefited the most was Van Cleef, who became a master stonemason.
You must know that even in the original Stormwind City, master-level professionals were rare, not to mention that Van Cleef was still so young?
Li De appointed Van Cleef as the chief engineer, leading the craftsman committee, managing and teaching craftsmen skills, and being responsible for the infrastructure work in the territory.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, but a new problem soon appeared: lack of tools.
Van Cleef expressed to Li De in embarrassment that it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The rocks on the coast had been picked up, and they lacked the tools to dig and process the boulders.
And there is a more serious problem than the lack of tools, which is the lack of water in the territory.
If you just need drinking water, the coconuts on the beach can help sustain it for a while, but if you start building a territory, water will be needed in all aspects.
Regarding this point, Li De had some ideas. The Qingquan Plain where the Great Pyramid is located has a high-quality water source. If a canal can be dug there, I believe the water shortage problem can be solved.
But this goes back to the original problem, lack of raw materials and tools.
After becoming the lord, Li De discovered that many problems suddenly arose, not only the construction of the territory, but also security issues.
His deputy, officer Brad, reported to him that there were a large number of giant scorpions and silithid scorpions moving around the territory, which could threaten the security of the territory at any time.
Li De divided the 100 soldiers into 10 squads of 10 men, stationed 5 squads to defend against threats from the desert, and 4 squads to protect the security of the seaside.
Li De did not let the soldiers take the initiative to clean up the giant scorpions. Because of the hot climate in Tanaris, after the Stormwind City soldiers arrived here, including Li De, they all took off their heavy plate armor and were now wearing only civilian clothes.
.
Without effective protection, it is still very dangerous for ordinary soldiers to deal with giant scorpions, so Li De decided to lead a small team into the desert to clean up these guys.
The team led by Li De was composed of elite soldiers or those who were about to grow into elite soldiers. Li De taught them his experience in the process of hunting silithid scorpions.
"Make your steps flexible. Scorpions cannot move laterally. After avoiding the attack of the pincers, deal with the scorpion tail first..."
Li De swung his long sword into a windmill, and cut off the arm-thick tail hook of the giant scorpion with one stroke.
"The most dangerous thing about a scorpion is its tail hook. If you haven't solved it, don't try to get behind the scorpion. But for a scorpion that has lost its tail hook, you can do this..."
Li De jumped up high, held the sword behind his back with both hands, and pierced the giant scorpion's body with one sword.
"Of course, if you are not confident in the final blow, you can also choose to take it slowly and deal with the scorpion tail before cutting off the two chelicerae respectively, but that will take a lot more time."
The soldiers were listening patiently. As a hero, Li De could easily solve the problem with one blow. It was rare to be able to explain combat skills to them in such detail.
Li De drew his sword and planned to lead the soldiers to continue exploring the depths of the desert. However, he found a soldier squatting next to the giant scorpion and observing.
"What? What's the problem?"
The soldier had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Lord, I think the carapace of this giant scorpion can be made into armor."
The soldier's words awakened Li De. This was indeed something he had never expected. In the desert, the carapace of giant scorpions is indeed a high-quality material for making armor.
They are both strong and lightweight, and are more suitable for wearing in the hot climate of the desert than steel plate armor.
"Nice idea, how did you come up with it?"
After receiving Li De's praise, the soldier felt a little shy.
"My father was an armorer."
After saying this, the soldier's expression looked a little sad. During the evacuation, his father was on another ship. If nothing else, his parents are now in Lordaeron.
The soldier's emotions also infected other soldiers who had the same experience. Li De stepped forward and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"One day we will go back, and we will go back in good condition and be reunited with our families!"
The soldiers gained some comfort and cheered themselves up again.
They have no doubt about Li De's guarantee. With a heroic lord who can perform miracles, their future will eventually be bright.
After realizing that the giant scorpion carapace was a very important resource, Li De and the soldiers took out their daggers and peeled off the carapace with difficulty.
It seems that after returning, we need to hire a skinning master to teach the soldiers his skills.
Planning the next step in the territory, Li De also began to speed up the pace of cleaning up the silithid scorpions.
Thanks to the small team of soldiers, otherwise Li De would not have been able to get so many shells off by himself.
In one afternoon, Li De cleaned up dozens of giant scorpions. When he returned home with his soldiers, a bright white lady had already risen in the sky.
When the armorers, weapons masters and pharmacists in the territory saw the bundles of giant scorpion trunk carapace and the strings of scorpion pincers and tail hooks, their eyes all shone.
Just by looking at it, they had already figured out how to use these materials.
Although the current conditions in the territory are still very difficult, under the leadership of the lord, they will use the knowledge in their minds to overcome difficulties one after another.
Early the next morning, as soon as Li De opened his eyes, he started to deal with the problem of tools.
At present, in addition to the fisheries that have been established in the territory, the most important resource is coconut trees.
The coconut tree can be said to be full of treasures: coconut water can be drunk directly, coconut meat can be processed into long-term storage food, coconut shells can be used as utensils, and old coconut trees can also be used as wood.
Of course, the most important thing right now is actually the coconut coat. The fiber on the outer layer of the coconut can be made into rope.
Net-making, hunting, construction, textile... In production and life, the uses of rope can be said to be diverse.
For the sustainable development of the territory, coconut trees must become a renewable resource. Of course, craftsmen are the professionals in this regard.
Reed simply proposed an idea, and a committee of craftsmen led by Van Cleef began work on the coconut plantation.
At the same time, a large number of mature coconuts were picked, the coconut fiber was peeled off, and a rope-making workshop was established in the territory.
After all these tasks were carried out, Eureka's voice appeared in Li De's ears again.
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the construction task: planning a specialty area! Reward 50 productivity points.
(Note: The coconut specialty in the area, after planning, will stably provide 2 food points and 2 material points for the settlement.)"
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the construction task: planning the work area! Reward 50 productivity points.
(Note: The simple rope-making workshop in the area, after planning, provides 2 material points to the settlement stably and increases the leader's productivity by 10 points every day.)"
Li De was very happy that the working area of the Planning Office could continue to provide him with points. Looking at the rope-making workshop consisting of three households and a few tents in the territory, Li De's eyes became intense.
The territory is developing in a better and better direction, and he also needs to solve another problem.
The most scarce thing in the territory now is metal tools. The threshold for metallurgical technology, construction technology and engineering technology is very high, although there is no shortage of craftsmen in this area in the territory.
But the lack of tools and raw materials cannot be solved by the current territory alone.
Li De decided to explore the depths of the desert. He is now looking forward to the completion of the goblin city of Gadgetzan.
In any case, goblins are a race that is willing to make deals. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they do not want to meet the trolls deeper in the desert so early.
With this purpose in mind, Li De arranged the work in the territory.
He took two soldiers with him, took some pieces of dried turtle meat, some dried fish, and two bunches of coconuts as gifts, and set out on the road.
