The route of the Skitarii was originally along the northwest-southeast line, leaving the Toting border from Delai County to Penting County bordering the Hendon Principality in the south. Further south was the Mojito Sea. They planned to take a boat at the harbor.
Head east to the capital of Hendon.
Between the two countries, there is a long and narrow coastal mountain range as a natural barrier. This mountain range is called Falling Stone, and it is very steep. All major passes are guarded by barriers. The Flying Mask Skitarii received the order from Baron Boyue and came out from the Lion Heart Barrier.
The national border has been reached for nearly a month, and now we have conquered four villages and towns, and deceived, no, recruited sixty soldiers.
Now there are 223 skitarii, 50 archers, 100 infantry, and 73 light cavalry. However, there are only ten horses. Pope Su still has two horses. It is not that he has no money to buy them.
Because the mountain road was difficult to travel, most of the horses were left behind at the Lion Heart Barrier.
Fifty archers with sixty bows, a pot of arrows each, and a backpack; each infantryman has a fine iron sword, half body armor, and a luggage backpack; the light cavalry is equipped with a set of chain mail and a cavalry
One spear, half a dozen javelins, one hand crossbow, and a pot of crossbow arrows.
They are basically all Yardimers, but there are also about a dozen Romantas. Their race is brown and hairy, and they have many crossbowmen and heavy cavalry.
Lu Zhengkang led the Skitarii to the north and returned to the Luoshi Mountains. The total biomass of the forest was very high. Compared with the poor places like Mengwei Island where species were scarce, this place was really a natural paradise and it was also a place for deer.
A healthy paradise.
When Lu Zhengkang rubbed the body of a red-haired baboon into a set of half-body armor, the skitarii were all stunned.
"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
“Cool cool cool!”
His Majesty the Pope stood up and shook off the light blue blood stains on his hands. "Whatever style of armor you want, just find the materials yourself. You can go hunting these two days. Bring back more fresh flesh and blood."
In the next period of time, the Skitarii wandered around the Rocks Mountains, from west to east, all the way. Most of the animals on the mountains suddenly disappeared, and the dense forests were intensively cut down, leaving them bald piece by piece.
Viewed from above, they look like spots on a mangy dog.
As a product of geological movement, there are rich mineral resources hidden under the rocky mountains, which are also coveted by Lu Zhengkang.
There are many minerals in the mountains, and naturally there are many mines. Some are officially established by the Principality of Hendon and the Totin Empire, and there are also some private mines owned by powerful merchants. When you encounter the mines owned by Totin's own people, there is no mention of spending money to buy some ore. When you meet others,
What's more, everyone was imprisoned, occupied the mine, refined the ore accumulated by them, and ran away.
Two months later, Lu Zhengkang led the skitarii and stationed themselves in the Hound Mountain at the southern foot of the Rock Mountains.
This is their base camp for the next stage of technological advancement.
After saving enough resources, Lu Zhengkang led the Skitarii to cut wood and quarry stone to build the castle.
In fact, the best choice was to go back to Delai County. Boyue Jinsui, the culprit, had plenty of money and spared the Skitarii the trouble of collecting resources personally. However, Lu Zhengkang is a real man who never goes back, and he has not yet made a decision.
What would it be like to go back to Xinshou Village after finishing your career?
After becoming proficient in alchemy, Lu Zhengkang also developed some alchemy machines. The simplest one is of course the refining furnace, where materials are put in and burned with flames to obtain refined materials. This is almost a basic building unit.
Hound Mountain is a low hill with cliffs to the east and a valley to the west. The terrain is steep on the north and south sides, shaped like a canine tooth. The top of the mountain is sharp. The highest point is a dark boulder. The skitarii of the Flying Spaghetti Cult chiseled the boulder into
A throne was built for the Pope to sit on. The entire castle was based on the top of the mountain. Asxs., it continued to spread downwards. Each essence furnace was erected, and even at night, it was shining with green flames.
Lu Zhengkang looked at his tools and people working fourteen hours a day, and he was still a little worried, fearing that their bodies could not bear it. If their health was poor, wouldn't it affect their efficiency?
Therefore, in order for tool workers to eat and drink well, meat is definitely indispensable for three meals a day.
Lu Zhengkang had a solution for this problem long ago, which was his great alchemy product - meat glutinous rice cake.
Ciba is a food made from steamed glutinous rice and then mashed into pieces, while meat glutinous rice cake is a living organism.
Mash the flesh and blood, stuff it with plant seeds or fungal spores, expose it in the sun, constantly water it with light salt water, and wait for the plant cells and animal cells to fuse into a flesh and blood embryo under the action of alchemy. Then burn a large animal
, or a large number of small animals, regardless of species, place the embryos in the smoke to absorb the soul.
In the end, a Rouchiba original body was obtained.
On Mengqi Island, the blood of animals there is red, so the meat glutinous rice cakes made are also red. But on this planet, the animal blood is mostly blue, with occasional green, red and other colors, so the meat glutinous rice cakes made there are also red.
It's also blue, very much like an alien creature.
When the original body matures, it can be divided, and then the daughter body can be stuffed into the wound of the plant. Usually, a hole the size of a fist is dug in the trunk. In this way, after two days, the meat cake will proliferate and form a shape like Ganoderma lucidum and fungus.
Appearance, composed of muscle and fat
In addition to the meaty flavor, there is also the fragrance and special taste of plants. Depending on the type and year of the host, the taste of different meat glutinous rice cakes also has many differences, some are sweet, some are spicy, and some are bitter. These additional nutrients can supplement
Vitamins to prevent diseases.
Having meat to eat increases the tool man's vitality by two percentage points.
In the valley area at the foot of the mountain, farmland was opened for farming. The Skitarii were not good at farming. They planned to go to Hunton in the south to snatch women as usual. However, His Majesty the Pope ordered these tool men to grow in obscurity and keep the trouble quiet, so they had to rely on their own efforts and cultivate the land on their own.
.
With refined crop seeds, the agricultural process is greatly simplified, because the vitality of weeds is not as good as crops, so they cannot grow. Harvesting occurs once a season. In addition to arranging the time and space for sowing, there are only two steps: sowing and harvesting.
.
Soon, the tool people will be able to eat a good diet of meat and vegetables, and by then brewing some wine will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of the Skitarii by 30%.
After solving the food problem, Lu Zhengkang began to think about developing industry.
During the training period, he also received some professional training, such as making simple machinery. Scholars positioned him as a machinist. It happened that Lu Zhengkang studied engineering in high school. Even though he focused on software engineering, he also had a job in mechanical manufacturing.
The foundation is there.
On the earth at the end of the 21st century, the main sources of energy are nuclear fusion and solar energy. Needless to say, nuclear fusion is efficient and clean, while the utilization of solar energy has achieved a major leap. China has completed the Dyson Cloud Project, which is in space close to the surface of the sun.
The reflecting mirror is unfolded to collect a huge amount of solar radiation energy and transmit it to the Mercury transfer station, and then transmit it back to the earth step by step, realizing unlimited energy reserves.
But what does Lu Zhengkang have on hand now?
Even coal is not available, only wood is burned. Although refined wood has strong firepower, it is not resistant to burning and does not last long. It is difficult to miniaturize the steam engine produced.
Without energy, industrial development will be a long-term problem.
