Things seemed to be going more smoothly than expected. When General Zorn got the information that Eiland Hill was going north to attack the castle, his troops had already begun to move south on a large scale.
Although he did not take away a sufficient number of red cannons in one go, with the blueprints and smelting formulas provided by Chris, the Arant Empire still produced 40 cannons and went south in a mighty manner.
The Dothan Empire has always been able to stand due to its dangerous terrain, which has become a serious problem for Arant. General Zorn has always wanted to capture part of the Dothan Empire's territory to prove his merits.
Mortal empires can only live in the shadow of the magic empire. This is something that cannot be changed, so they don’t dare to think about the demise of the Dothan Empire and the Arant Empire. All they want is to take advantage, and take enough advantage.
.
For many years, the conquests between mortal empires have been in this pattern. If a country is about to be destroyed by another country, the magic empire will send troops to intervene to balance the power between these empires.
For the Magic Empire, only a loose mortal empire that cannot be united into a single rope can guarantee their fundamental interests. Therefore, once a mortal empire rises, those terrifying dragon knights will appear and push the powerful mortal empire into the abyss.
.
"It can only be used once." Looking at the red cannons rolling forward one after another, dragged by the horses, General Zorn sighed with some reluctance: "I guess the Dothan Empire only needs to be on the front.
If you suffer a loss on the battlefield, you will take the matter to the Holy Demon Empire."
The soldiers of the Arant Empire held the reins of their horses and walked step by step on the uneven road. Behind the carriage, the ancient and heavy steel cannons were dark in the sun.
Shining with dark light.
Further away, groups of soldiers carried three-meter-long spears and marched neatly across the entire hillside. An army of one hundred thousand was not a small number. The soldiers in front of them were not even 20,000, let alone 20,000.
Many soldiers were still behind or walking ahead.
A war of unprecedented scale is about to begin. The grievances between the Dothan Empire and the Arant Empire may be completely resolved in such a war. Of course, it may also get worse.
"On the contrary, Ilan Hill..." He moved his gaze away from the red-clothed cannons. General Zorn pinched the information in his hand, his tone was full of coldness, and he muttered: "He is really not a person who can give people peace of mind.
Grand Duke."
"Wouldn't it be better to just wait for me to go back and kill you?... You're going to make a fuss." He crushed the information in his hand into a ball and threw it into the soil at his feet with disdain: "Wait until I defeat Duo
Sen, come back and teach you how to be a good person!"
After saying that, he pulled the reins of his horse, and, surrounded by a group of guards, got on his horse and gave the order: "Let the troops continue to move forward! Just keep this speed!"
"In addition!" Zorn adjusted the posture of the war horse and ordered one of his confidants on the horse: "Send people to Elland Hill! Let them spit out the three places of Tubao, Beijun and Hanhai! If they
If I don’t agree, I’ll have them wash my neck and wait!”
When speaking this, General Zorn had a heroic aura: When he returns to the capital of Arant, he may have more than 200 cannons!
At that time, a little Ailanthil is not a threat at all. As long as there is a battle, the damn Archduke Ailanthil will be captured, kneeling in front of Zorn, crying and begging for a
Way to survive.
Thinking of this, Zorn snorted and rode forward. He wanted to bring his troops to the south before winter came. If he was lucky, he might win the crusade against the Dothan Empire before winter came.
of war.
As soon as spring comes next year, he can go north to attack Elanthir. This is a good rhythm, which will allow him to gain more military exploits and prove his ability to his brother-in-law, the emperor.
"Woo..." A melodious horn sound came from the distant ridge, which was an order for the troops to continue moving forward. All the soldiers continued to walk forward, one after another until they reached the end of the road.
…
"Charite was added to the production of the gun barrel, and the workers experimented with the latest formula... which is stronger than the original one." Smith began to talk about the recent good news at the work report meeting.
Because of the existence of a new metal of unknown origin, iranhill's industrial development is countless times faster than expected. Many unsolvable problems can be solved with ferrofer alloy, which saves a lot of time.
.
The only problem is that ferrous iron has good rigidity but insufficient toughness, so there is no way to replace copper to solve the problem of bullet casings. Otherwise, the production speed of bullets may be faster.
I saw Smith turned to the next page, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he continued: "The transformation of the power plant is going well. DC power has been fully converted into AC power. We use electricity on a small scale, so the improvement is very simple.
.”
"There are some problems with the electric lamps. We encountered some process difficulties in production, but because we have the formula and drawings, they can be solved in a short time." After he finished speaking, he looked at Chris, who was in the first place:
"Our current problem is that we lack professionals in all aspects."
Gurlo heard this and knew it was time for him to appear, so he coughed, cleared his throat and said: "This matter cannot be rushed. The first batch of graduates we trained urgently have already been divided up.
We have to wait until next month at the earliest before another batch of new students can graduate."
"These graduates are actually not considered talents. They can only operate some machines and understand some principles. There is still a long way to go before they can develop or do some experiments on their own." He knew these talents well.
Not optimistic either.
It's not just that he is not optimistic about it, in fact, Chris is not optimistic about it either. These people who have lowered their training standards and are barely allowed to graduate are actually similar to those migrant workers in the 21st century. They can go to work in factories, but there is nothing more.
There is room for improvement.
Chris also knows that this problem cannot be urgent now. The fastest they have to wait for is to graduate from primary school and the group of children who have completed middle school and high school will grow up. The problem is that this will have to wait seven or eight years.
The wait for two or three years was very nerve-wracking.
Chris, who has mastered countless knowledge, knows that practice and knowledge are two different things. It is faster to have ready-made talents to use than to search for economic books to study thoroughly. He lacks everything now, and the most lacking thing is all kinds of knowledge.
talents.
Today's Ireland Hill is actually no different from a large training base: soldiers who have been on the battlefield and heard the sound of cannons are leading a group of new people in training; old workers who have played with machinery and understand the basic operations are leading
A group of novices are trained. Even in schools, one group of teachers teaches another group of teachers how to impart knowledge.
The disadvantage of this was that Des had to support some apprentices who could not work, and could not immediately expand his profits. This money was completely spent in vain, and it was considered a losing business.
However, there is also an advantage, that is, on the one hand, it can attract the unemployed population, and on the other hand, it can immediately expand the future worker group. At least Mr. Gurlo is very optimistic about this. He believes that after one year, the worker group of Ireland Hill will
Expanded to ten or even thirty times its current size.
"The improvement of alternating current has made power generation equipment simpler. We are already working on thermal power plants, and we are also considering large-scale power grids..." Smith took over and talked about power grids.
The power grid is also something Chris is considering. Only with electricity can modern cities be truly modernized. With electric lights, people can work day and night. With electric lights, people can extend their work and rest time. There are more
Use your spare time to study and supplement.
But now, only the factory itself has electricity to use, most of which is still used on machines, and there is very little lighting. Chris feels that allowing the arsenal to operate at night is an effective way to immediately increase production capacity.
"Stay and have dinner before leaving! Don't be so outgoing!" Chris left everyone behind after the meeting and ordered: "Let the chef prepare the sea fish, which was just delivered today, the delicacy recommended by Lawns.
!”
The current construction of Ferry City is also very good. Lawns has built a huge salt field there, and the salt provided has been exported to the Grassland Empire and the Higgs Kingdom, and can even radiate to northern Arant.
At the same time, two modern shipyards are still being built there, as well as a large number of processing factories, including glass factories and ceramic factories. The daily necessities produced by these factories have also been added to the best-selling products of Ailan Hill.
Landseer brought a large amount of gold coins.
"Okay! Let's eat together." Des liked seafood very much. He heard that there was delicious food and naturally he wouldn't leave. In fact, it was hard for him, the young master of the Longtate family, since he followed Chris.
, the standard of living is really getting worse day by day.
Although he brought a large amount of gold coins to join Chris, all the proceeds were rolled back into construction, so the life he was living recently was called poverty, and it was simply not on the same level as his original life.
"Great, there are fish to eat." Gurlo and Deans also laughed, hugged Engineer Smith who was about to leave, and the smiles on their faces became deeper: "It's the same way last time! It's the same way last time.
