Lord of Rot

After dinner, Li Qi sat in the study and found two books from the bookshelf.

One of them is written in Lureian script, and the other is written in square script.

Lureia's words were written about the current development plan, while the square words were used to record things that he suddenly recalled, such as the making of ice cream, the construction of arch bridges, bicycles, gears, and things he didn't know how to make in his previous life. steam engine.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you have an idea and throw it to your subordinates.

"The second phase of the Porcupine collar development is cancelled," he drew on the paper.

Three issues directly!

Because of the appearance of lime, Li Qi decided that the next step would be to try burning bricks and build a brick house in one step.

If quicklime ore is still somewhat difficult to find, then brick-making clay is everywhere.

"We can start planning the commercial area directly, just to the east of the castle." Li Qi thought with a pen. "After the dock is built, the dock will be used for external trade, and then it will be one-stop."

"Speaking of a dragon, bathing a street, it is very important."

Although Li Qi is not very envious of Iron Stone City's reputation as a "Holy Land", cultivating a few young ladies who step on their backs and perform pedicures to enjoy life shouldn't be regarded as an indiscretion in the lord's private life, right?

He shook his head and put the idea behind him for the time being.

"There are still teams, which must be re-divided."

The batch of Kuai Blade soldiers have been assigned and have begun selection and training. It is estimated that nothing will be trained in a short period of time.

"And the blacksmith."

Black Ear is a good hand at making farm tools, but using the same method as a hoe to make a sword is a bit too much.

Not only blacksmiths, but also carpenters are still in short supply.

The dwarf carpenter's craftsmanship is unparalleled, and he can keep up with Li Qi's thinking and try to copy his ideas, but the role of the carpenter is not only to help the lord research new tools.

Every family moved into a new house, and if they wanted new beds or tables, they had to be carpenters.

Carpenters are also needed to help build houses.

Ten more carpenters would not be enough.

Other craftsmen have more or less similar situations. Either their skills are not up to standard, or their numbers are not enough. Even if there is enough money, technology and population are still the reasons that limit the development of the Porcupine collar.

"If you can't, encourage having children! It's not that you can't afford to raise them anyway!"

Li Qi gritted his teeth: "Give me life, give birth to me hard!"

After lowering his head and writing for a while, Li Qi stopped writing.

He wrote down everything he could think of at this stage. If he wanted to achieve these goals, the porcupine collar would have to be like a gear, starting to turn crazily.

I don’t know if it can be done this year, but if it is done, the porcupine collar will definitely show some traces of “civilization”.

Before going to bed at night, Li Qi still used his "Eagle Eye" to patrol the porcupine collar. Now it was not just ravens, but he also found someone to raise some other birds. These birds were not only in the porcupine collar, but some of them would also walk around on the sea. , opened up a useful field of vision for Li Qi, but there were also some birds that flew too far and lost contact at sea, or entered the belly of a higher-level predator.

headland crypt,

Exploration progress remains on hold indefinitely.

Betty opened her eyes, maybe a new day had arrived, or maybe it was still midnight.

She didn't know how long she had been trapped here.

He is probably used to the darkness and this space, and his brain is habitually empty.

The entire underground world was cleared in this long night. There were no winged banshees in the sky, no blue-skinned monsters on the ground, and no lizard-men swung their tails and bared their claws in the mud puddles.

The door is pushed open.

The person who came was a handsome man with corpse spots on his face.

The opponent was wearing armor and had a long sword at his waist.

Betty called the other person "Lord Knight". Although she knew that this corpse was no different from that of the blue-skinned monster, and that the person behind it was the same person, it did not prevent her from distinguishing the two.

She wondered several times what the person who controlled everything behind the scenes looked like. He must be ugly and enjoyed manipulating corpses.

But also very gentle.

He would bring himself food, water, and even allow himself to take a bath.

Ugly and tender, you can't help but be fascinated.

"Lord Knight" stopped and placed three large packages in front of Betty.

"For me?" Betty pointed to herself.

The other person nodded.

Betty opened the package, and it turned out to be all the production materials she needed.

There are two letters attached to it, the handwriting is very beautiful.

It should have been written by the person behind the control of the corpse. Betty had another image of the other party in her mind.

Ugly, gentle, and beautifully written.

"Magic gunpowder, what a strange name." Betty quickly read the first piece of paper.

This was her real connection with the people behind the scenes. The exchange of information made her so excited that she couldn't help but tighten her legs.

Second sheet of paper.

Her breathing started to come in short gasps.

The other party did not promise her freedom, but just told her that she should work next.

Freedom, why freedom? She began to like this kind of life, but she couldn't see the starry sky, but if she could continue to study as a scholar, the starry sky was not irreplaceable.

The other party proposed an idea that seemed crazy to Betty, but she couldn't help but agree with it.

Betty knew that the explosive flame she made was actually an accident and the product of failure, but the person behind the scenes gave a completely different idea.

He thinks this is a very successful study.

He also proposed the evolutionary direction of the product he named "magic gunpowder".

One is as a propellant. If you put magic gunpowder in a strong enough iron pipe, then put an iron pellet, then ignite the magic gunpowder, and shoot out the iron pellet through the force of the explosion, its power may be able to shoot. Go through the iron plate.

If applied on a large scale, ordinary farmers can quickly master the skills of using this weapon as long as they are trained.

The so-called invincible cavalry charging on the road will turn into stupid and suicidal targets!

The other is to increase the power of the explosion. It is imagined that this magic gunpowder can be stuffed into a sealed and strong enough iron can, and then thrown out to detonate. It is conceivable that the power will open even the strongest castle due to it. The gate, and this thing named "cannonball" can be used by ordinary people.

The other party even proposed that they could make an oversized iron pipe, use magic gunpowder as the propellant, and directly shoot the iron can filled with magic gunpowder, which would have a farther range and be more accurate than a siege trebuchet.

Think about setting up such terrifying weapons in a war, and then knocking down the seemingly solid walls of the place.

"Explosion!" Betty seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

She has been studying with her teacher for a long time, and she only has some talent for explosions.

If it was really feasible... No, it was precisely because she discovered "magic gunpowder" that she was sure that these ideas were definitely feasible.

The other party is really a genius!

A genius who is ugly, gentle, writes beautifully, and has the same ideals as himself.

"I will make it." She looked at the rotting knight in front of her, with a smile that had never appeared since entering the crypt, and uncontrollable excitement in her eyes.

"For our common ideal!"
