Chapter 384 Encouraging Innovation

 For example, if you turn a page at random, there is this paragraph, "The great Traver Arcanist decided to use teleportation to enter the interior of the Blight Abyss, but the bursting magic network waves blocked him out, but this is not a problem.

The great Traver Arcanist, he quickly thought of a way——"

What follows is some of the measures taken by Traver to use the magic network to transmit while avoiding the interference of the magic network.

There are many more situations like this.

According to Shado, this book should not be called a "Travel Guide", but a "Practical Manual on Teleportation".

Of course, it is necessary to cut out the complex and simplify it before it can become a professional technical manual, or in other words - a spell book.

Back at his residence, Xia Duo stopped conducting magic experiments and went to bed early after a round of concentration training.



The next day, Xia Duo left Savile Territory on the "Lucky Owen" and returned to Daxia Linshui Village.

As soon as he returned to his territory, Xia Duo received good news - the brick kiln had begun to produce!

The brick kiln in the territory is located to the north of the initial landing point and south of the Elemental Passage. It is close to the Wolfburg River for easy access to water. The earthwork was excavated from the Elemental Passage.

The construction of the brick kiln started in early September, but after that, several batches of fire bricks almost broke as soon as they were dropped to the ground. Of course, Xia Duo would not want broken bricks on the mud floor.

After several changes, no fire bricks were produced that satisfied Xia Duo.

Xia Duo's requirements were not high, he just asked that it would not break if dropped on the ground. He himself did not know how to bake bricks, but there were people, water, soil, and time for them to try.

He thought it would take a long time, and he had just gone to the brick kiln to check it the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect that only two days later, he went to the Tower of Time, and there were results here.

"Leiden, let's go and take a look."

Chateau, who had just sat down, could no longer sit still. He called Priest Leiden and left the small tent and walked towards the north.

On the way, Xia Duo didn't forget to ask for specific details, "I remember it didn't succeed the day before yesterday, so why did it suddenly happen?"

"Sir, the previous firing method of the brick kiln came from Savileland. During the brick making stage, gravel was added to the bricks——"

"Wait a minute!" Sha Duo quickly interrupted Layton's introduction, "You said gravel is added when firing bricks to make bricks?"

"Yes, sir, adding gravel will help the earth element condense. This is the craftsman's secret method." Layton explained seriously.

Xia Duo really wanted to roll his eyes. Even if he didn't know how to bake bricks, he still knew that there was no need to add anything extra when baking bricks, just soil.

Of course, it may be that the world is different and the experience is different. Of course, there are methods of making bricks from construction waste on the earth, but that is relatively high-end.

So Xia Duo asked again: "Then how did you succeed now?"

"Sir, it was proposed by a slave named Blake. Before mixing it with water, the soil should be dried, crushed, and sifted with linen cloth. This was the success."

"Are gravel added too?"

"Added."

"..."

Xia Duo did not comment for the time being. He was going to see what a "good" brick that could fall on the ground without breaking looked like!



Arriving near the brick kiln, a wave of heat hit his face. Xia Duo frowned. The temperature here had exceeded the limit of the weak element balance ability of the [Crimson Protection Robe].

Looking at the other brick kiln workers, everyone has a gray face, with "white" lines streaked by sweat on their faces, but most of them are abstract patterns that have been rubbed carelessly.

The hemispherical brick kiln was about one person tall, with only two floors. The bricks were placed on top and the fire was burned below. Xia Duo instinctively felt that it was inappropriate, but he had never seen what a brick kiln looked like before traveling through it, so he did not rashly put forward any suggestions for improvement.

After all, this is a successful case in Savileland, even though this brick kiln looks like a small family workshop.

"Lord!" Jiaco, the manager of the brick kiln, stepped forward and saluted.

Xia Duo asked, "Didn't you say there is a qualified brick? Where is it? Bring it over!"

"Yes, sir, I'll get it right away."

Xia Duo took a few steps back and waited. The tail of summer had not left yet, and it was too hot to stay near the brick kiln. So he took a few steps back to let the robe do its job.

After a while, Jiaco ran over holding an irregularly shaped brick, followed by a similarly gray-looking man.

Chateau guessed that it was the slave Blake that Leiden mentioned. He used cloth to sift soil and then make bricks. He didn't know how he came up with the idea.

"Sir, this is the fire brick. Because it is - it was Blake's idea, so I only made one on a trial basis. However, my lord, all the bricks being fired in this kiln are qualified bricks of this kind."

Xia Duo was noncommittal. He directly picked up the bricks and threw them on the ground. Although it was mud, it had been firmly stepped on by people coming and going for so long.

The brick fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped firmly.

It’s definitely not broken!

Then, Xia Duo picked up the brick again, broke it with both hands, and cut it directly in the middle. Traces of several gravels could be clearly seen in the broken section.

Xia Duo's strength is indeed not small, but he didn't use much force just now, it was just a little more force than breaking instant noodles.

This kind of brick does meet what he said before and will not break when dropped on the ground, but if it is used to pave roads, it may be trampled to pieces in a few days.

I silently gave it an × in my heart, as the technology still needs to be improved!

In addition to the texture, Xia Duo was also dissatisfied with the shape. This irregular brick could vaguely be seen as a square. It should be a brick that was cut out randomly, and then deformed during the firing process.

Throwing away two broken bricks, Chateau gave the instruction, "Blake provided a method of sifting the soil with a cloth, which is very good. Let's give him a small credit."

"yes."

At this time, Black was already kneeling on the ground and crying with joy. One small merit may seem very small, but if you don't have special talents, you can only get one small merit by working normally for one year.

And any slave can get rid of slavery as long as he saves 10 small merits.

Black thought of his friend Carpenter, and they came to Daxia Territory together, but at this time Carpenter had already accumulated 5 small credits due to his carpentry skills.

This living case and the hope that is not out of reach really inspired the other slaves.

Sha Duo also noticed Blake's excitement, but he didn't take it to heart and continued to give instructions, "Others, as long as they have ideas, they can try it on their own. As long as they can meet my requirements, they will also receive a small credit. I am now

The requirement is to make the bricks neat and orderly without breaking when they fall to the ground.”

Saying that, Xia Duo used his mage's hand to attract a piece of wood from the side, took out the [Blade of Veto] and swung his sword a few times, and a standard piece appeared.

"Take this as the standard. Jaco——"

"grown ups?"

"You must try your best to provide convenience for workers' reasonable requirements. As long as someone meets my requirements, you will also receive 1 credit!"

"Yes, sir!" Jiaco was so excited that his beard stood up.

For slaves, small merit is the capital to redeem themselves. For ordinary citizens like him, it is equal to land, gold coins, job titles, and everything he can think of, including magic!

Before leaving, Xia Duo put forward a few more suggestions, such as adding another brick kiln, using sieved soil to make bricks without adding gravel, etc.

Originally he came in a hurry, and the bricks did meet his previous requirements, but now his requirements are higher, which may be in line with the saying from Xia Duo's hometown - to go to Long to look at Shu.
