After learning the specific situation of this front-line defense fortification from the chief of guard of the fortress, Lawrence, accompanied by him, inspected the entire fortification and conducted a simple spot check of various places. The results of the spot check can be said to be very good.
All buildings have been completed, and all kinds of food and weapons have been stored in a warehouse that has been specially reinforced and raised on foundations.
As for the water problem, there is no need to worry, because this fortification is right by the river and the groundwater level is shallow, so a well built in a house within the fortification is enough to provide enough clean water for everyone in the fort.
However, for the same reason, those vital warehouses cannot be built into safer underground warehouses.
But considering that the enemies they faced were goblins and some wolves, the ammunition depot and grain depot built with stones and cement were considered strong enough. After all, the wolves here were not extraordinary creatures, just some wild beasts.
The goblins' blow darts and javelins could not cause any damage to these fortifications.
In addition to this fortification, Lawrence and the others also raided several other fortifications. It must be said that everyone did a very good job in this aspect of construction, and almost all of the fortifications were completed earlier than expected.
was put into use, and this situation occurred mainly because of the put into use of the cableway transportation system.
With the help of Lawrence and Nora, the cableways and supporting small steam engines that were originally planned to take months to transport and arrange in place were completed in just a few days. Therefore, the supplies that could be imported into this alpine meadow were much larger than at that time.
There is a lot of planning time. In this case, the manpower that can be invested will also increase.
More importantly, after sufficient logistical support, the Tauren brought their livestock to this grassland earlier than expected, and those cows not only provided valuable dairy products, but also provided a large amount of
labor force. With the help of those animals, they can naturally build more facilities at the same time in a shorter period of time.
This is why after Lawrence and the others returned from cleaning up the goblins and certain beasts near this meadow, they discovered that the fortress defense line that was supposed to be completed in half a month was actually able to be completed so far ahead of schedule.
time to complete the infrastructure.
After inspecting the outer defense circle, the main force began to return to their respective stations under the leadership of their respective officers. Lawrence and the others led the guards and began to inspect the immigrants who had entered the newly developed area of the Blue Mountain Meadow and their settlements.
After all, compared with the line of defense used to hinder outside invaders, the operation of these immigrant settlements is the core that determines whether this newly opened territory can continue to be maintained.
After Lawrence entered the planned central settlement, he was surprised to find that the old shaman, who was the core of the tauren belief on the island, had already arrived and was erecting a three-story tree with his disciples in front of a large cowhide tent.
A tall, totem pole that looks like it has just been carved from a whole tree.
This large cowhide tent is located in a square with a fountain. In addition to the core tent of the tauren's shamanistic religion, there are also semi-underground churches used by the rat people to worship the horned rats and four human churches on the island.
The wooden structure church built here.
Obviously, the potential of this newly developed territory is not only secular, but also religious. Therefore, all the religious sects on the island have built their own places here. In addition,
These churches also sent capable personnel to build a series of infrastructure belonging to the church.
For example, on the way here, Lawrence saw a school built by the Church of Knowledge, a hospital built by the Passion Church, a small justice center built by the Church of Fortune, and a veterinary hospital built by the Agricultural Church. According to the accompanying people, the Rat Man
The clergy of the Minotaurs also sent some of their personnel to the mountains to prepare for launching some new industries.
Different from ordinary grasslands, this alpine meadow not only has a lot of grassland but also a lot of mountainous areas. Therefore, if you want to develop here, it is not a good idea to ignore the mountainous nature. The rat people and the tauren took this opportunity
He devoted his energy to the mountainous area, which was no less than a grassland.
Considering the problem of soil and water conservation in mountainous areas, it is obviously a very stupid approach to develop logging industry. However, after studying those jungles, the rat priests and the tauren shamans found that the unique environment of these jungles can be used for planting some
Special fungi and herbs.
So while the human churches were busy building various infrastructures, the rat and tauren personnel were doing their best to open up some ecological plantations in the surrounding mountainous areas, so that the people who stayed in this small town
There are only a few people. This is why even the tauren great shaman has to do it himself when erecting the totem pole.
"Why are you here now? This town is just a prototype, and many things haven't been built yet." After the totem pole was completely erected in front of the big cowhide tent, Lawrence and Saphire walked forward and walked towards the big cowhide tent.
An old tauren shaman greeted, "And you can definitely ask someone to help with these tasks. There is no need to do it yourself."
"There is no way, the children are very busy, it is not convenient to trouble them." The old shaman wiped the sweat on his forehead with a large handkerchief made of wool and said. "After all, we can do these tasks.
So there is absolutely no need to call back the children who were building fortifications on the front lines for this kind of work."
"As for me, I think I'm still far away from the old man who can't walk anymore, so I can just come here to help." The old shaman said as he led Lawrence and the others into a side room of the tent and sat down.
"And this place is so important to us, so I definitely have to come here in person to feel at ease."
In the next period of time, Lawrence and the old shaman chatted about the development of immigrants in this land. As an old tauren, the old shaman observed very carefully during this period.
It gave Lawrence some valuable information about the overall situation of this newly built town.
According to the plan, this meadow will focus on the development of animal husbandry. After all, meat, milk, and leather are urgently needed materials on the island. Especially in this era when the medical level is not particularly good, if you can have sufficient nutrition every day
If added, then the mortality rate of ordinary people should be much lower.
More importantly, even though various steam engines have been put into use in this era, animal power transportation is still indispensable.
At least in Lawrence's memory, in the world of his previous life, even in the era of World War II when internal combustion engines had been widely used, only the United States could transport all motor vehicles, while the rest of the country's logistics transportation had to be
Depend on the strength of those animals.
"Young people are good at raising cattle and sheep, but almost all of them are not very good at raising horses." The old shaman said seriously to Lawrence and others sitting opposite, "Although the priests in the agricultural church
A technician you invited very carefully explained how to raise horses, but there are still too few professionals."
"I've tried my best, but there are all islands in the Sea of Stars, so there are really too few people who know how to raise horses." Lawrence looked helpless and shook his head. "Fortunately, we don't need too many horses for the time being, because
For many jobs, it’s enough to have good talent. As for the future - I think I can always hire enough people from the White Eagle Federation or the Republic of New Zealand."
