Lawrence had always been interested in various documentaries in his previous life, and those documentaries naturally contained some content about how to survive in cold areas.
Perhaps because the world is different, Lawrence has some impressions of some means of keeping out the cold that are not available in this world. Of course, these means naturally do not require the help of any extraordinary power, so from the perspective of promotion, it is not too difficult.
.
Therefore, in the next period of time, in addition to using telegrams to deal with some problems in his own territory, Lawrence wrote down some of the things in his mind and gave them to the Viscount of Surrey, and then asked him to see what these plans were.
Can be used.
The Viscount of Surrey obviously attached great importance to these things. In addition to sending a staff member on the first day, the Viscount of Surrey himself came to Lawrence every day in the following days to record his various suggestions.
He also personally accompanied Lawrence to direct some of his workers to carry out practical operations on some of the ideas.
"I didn't expect you to be able to do this work yourself." Lawrence asked slightly jokingly, looking at the Viscount of Surrey who was wielding an ax to chop some wood batches into the required size.
Because the two sides have become a lot more familiar during this period, the communication between Lawrence and Viscount Surrey has naturally become much easier, and they can also joke with each other.
"You can do these things as a count or a spellcaster. So why can't I do these things as a viscount?"
The Viscount of Surrey chopped the piece of wood into the size he needed with two axes, and then leaned on the handle of the ax and said to Lawrence.
"For me, processing these woods with an ax is a very easy thing. It can even be said that it is basically not too difficult."
"What's more important is that when I do these tasks, I only put in some strength, but what I get is much more than what I put in."
What Viscount Surrey said now was not a simple perfunctory or polite reply to Lawrence, but a heartfelt thank you to Lawrence.
Because in the past few days, many nobles who are also located on this island have been prompted by the Passion Church on the island to come here to visit Lawrence and learn all kinds of knowledge that will help them survive on this island. By the way, they will also pay a visit as this
Viscount Surrey, owner of the land.
That's right, because this place is too difficult and the number of residents is not large. Therefore, the number of members of each church here is not large.
Among the churches that have sent personnel to station here, members of the Suffering Church who are willing to endure hardships and even take pleasure in suffering are obviously more widely distributed.
So after Lawrence made a decision in this regard, he found a Passion Church priest in Surrey Castle and told him that he had a skill that would help everyone survive in this desolate and cold land, and at the same time he was willing to
Share it with everyone unconditionally.
After receiving the good news, the priest quickly contacted other priests on the island through internal channels of the church, and then passed the news on.
The local nobles naturally flocked to it after hearing such news, because for them it was something that could significantly enhance their strength.
Therefore, starting from the second day after the news came out, some people sent by the nobles and even the nobles themselves came to this territory on various means of transportation, hoping to learn important and precious knowledge.
After discovering that these guests from afar had entered his territory, the Viscount of Surrey, as a hereditary nobleman, immediately realized the importance of this event to him.
So in addition to arranging the food, clothing, housing and transportation for other nobles or sent personnel, he also personally came to Lawrence to help him.
I have to say that after Viscount Surrey took action, the enthusiasm of others to learn suddenly increased.
Because in the eyes of those people, nobles like the Viscount of Surrey who have lived here for generations are willing to learn these things, which means that these are really very meaningful things to everyone present.
In addition to making and using briquettes and briquette stoves, Lawrence also taught them a series of knowledge on how to find various resources in the wild and build non-permanent shelters.
Especially the knowledge about how to make various semi-underground shacks, Lawrence repeatedly told the people who came to this place to study several times.
Although there is a lot of knowledge about how to survive in cold zones in this world, Lawrence was very surprised to find that this world did not have the shacks used by the early pioneers in his previous life documentary.
After asking, he learned that because the goblins in this world like to build buildings similar to shacks, all intelligent races subconsciously make the buildings they build as close as possible to those built by the bugs that cannot be killed.
Make a clear difference.
These ground shacks do have shortcomings of one kind or another, but they can indeed be built at low cost to withstand the harsh local low temperatures and cold winds.
Therefore, after overcoming the inner discomfort caused by the tradition at the beginning, everyone learned this simple but very effective construction technique very seriously.
Now there is only one reason why Lawrence and Viscount Surrey are working outside Surrey Castle in person, and that is to be able to promote this temporary building construction method to the guests from far away, and at the same time promote briquettes and briquettes.
Honeycomb coal stove.
Indeed, Lawrence and the others could have asked the people under their command to do these things. However, considering that in addition to some senior servants, there were also many nobles who came in person. Therefore, after discussion, Lawrence and the others felt that it would be better to demonstrate in person.
Be more sincere.
Lawrence could clearly feel that after discovering that he and the Viscount of Surrey were personally doing this work, the nobles in the stands suddenly became serious.
Even after discovering that ordinary people were working too slowly, several nobles with extraordinary professional levels quickly entered the scene and began to carry out the construction work according to Lawrence's orders.
Soon, a shack that looked a little messy but was very sturdy was built.
Five or six minutes after putting the lit briquette stove into the shack, Lawrence took those who came to study into the shack to experience the temperature, space and other key data of this simple building.
"The temperature feels okay." A baron whose territory is further north said after walking around the room twice, and then looked at the large pit more than 1m deep under the building that provides the main living space and is used to shelter from the wind.
"And the workload during construction should not be large. At least if you have explosives in hand, you can build it quickly in a short time."
"And the materials used for construction can be said to be almost everywhere on the island." Another knight sent by a certain count said.
"Whether it's stones, bricks or shaped wood, it's hard to find them in the wild on this island, but the branches of these shrubs, the clumps of moss and the dirt can be found everywhere on the island."
After everyone took turns to stay inside for more than an hour, they all praised the combination of the underground shack and the briquette stove. Although the temperature inside is indeed not as good as those in stone buildings, it is also obviously a bit suffocating.
But as a temporary building, this combination is cheap and can be quickly and widely constructed, which cannot be replaced by other solutions.
So in the subsequent negotiations on trade, everyone signed a batch of purchase orders for briquettes with Surrey.
In addition, they also agreed to let the people in their territory come here to work in order to produce the fuel that everyone needs as soon as possible.
