Chapter 200 Dragon City
In June of the 36th year of Qin Shihuang.

The wheat that was urgently replanted in the first month has come to harvest, and the two dinosaurs are lying on the edge of the field watching the farmers who are busy harvesting in the field and feel very comfortable.

(Winter wheat seeds are sprinkled with water in winter and placed outdoors for freezing and vernalization. Sowing in spring can lead to normal heading. This is called artificial vernalization.)
I still remember that in the first month of the lunar year, I was used as a scalper, pulling a plow to plow the wasteland. I was exhausted every day. Now I can finally watch others busy and bask in the sun leisurely.

"Ao Guang, Ao Shun, you two are actually being lazy, go and help pull the cart and transport the food back to the city."

Meng Donglai rode out from the city to see the harvest. At first sight, he saw two Indominus Rex lying on the edge of the field and lazing around.

Meng Donglai usually used these two dragons as livestock. Without these two strong laborers, the construction progress of Dragon City would not be so fast.

"Roar!!"

Ao Guang yelled at Meng Donglai to express his protest, but he walked obediently towards the grain pile. Ao Shun was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and followed with a humane sigh.

"You can grow faster by exercising more. It's better for you two to be lazy when you find time."

Meng Donglai kicked Ao Guang's tail, and followed him on horseback.

Farmers in this world are planting high-yield wheat for the first time and have no experience. They need guidance from planting to harvesting.Fortunately, there is a jade certificate, otherwise Meng Donglai would be exhausted even if he had "multiple shadow clones".

The wasteland was cultivated in the first year, and the planting was delayed for several months and there was no fertilizer. This year's wheat yield was very low. High-yielding wheat seeds from later generations were used, but the yield per mu was only more than 600 kilograms.

However, this has far exceeded the yield per mu of other crops in this era.

All the farmers in Longcheng were shocked and spread rumors among themselves that this was the fairy seed brought back from the fairy world by Meng Donglai.

I don't know if these people will go crazy seeing the yield of thousands of catties per mu in autumn.

When we came to the drying yard, everyone was busy in an orderly manner. Some people were responsible for unpacking the wheat sheaves and spreading the straw on the drying yard; Yang wheat; Finally, there are people who are responsible for bagging the wheat grains and stacking them on the side of the drying yard, waiting to be transported back to the city.

"City Lord, you are here." Quji, the person in charge of the drying field, saw Meng Donglai coming with two dragons and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Arrange people to take two dragons to pull the cart, and tell me about the output."

In fact, Yuji had already calculated the output, but Meng Donglai also needed to let his subordinates show a sense of presence.

"Okay." Qu quickly touched the brain computer on his neck, and the order was passed on immediately. Soon, two star guards ran over and took away two dinosaurs: "A total of 610 people have been reclaimed this year. Mu of land, 240 mu of wheat has been cultivated, the estimated average yield per mu is more than [-] catties, and the total output of wheat is estimated to be more than [-] million catties, plus some replanted vegetables, potatoes and sweet potatoes, which is enough for the people of Longcheng for a year .”

Nowadays, people are short of oil and water, so the demand for staple food is high. It is common for heavy laborers to eat five or six catties of staple food a day, so the calculation of illnesses is very conservative.

According to Yuji's calculations, in the second half of the year, all kinds of domestic animals will be slaughtered, and the production of Onozawa fish will increase. With the grain production of Longcheng, it is more than enough to feed 2 people.

After the wood felled in the first half of the year was steam-dried, some fishing boats and transport ships were successively built in April and May. Dragon City has now begun to trade with other cities through the rivers around the Onozawa waters.

With so much food, there are many things that can be done.

"Sow corn as soon as possible after harvesting wheat. It was supposed to be planted in May, but now it's a month late."

"Fairy Jade Document has already made arrangements." Qu Ji replied.

Jade Certificate Fairy... Meng Donglai felt embarrassed every time he heard this title.

At that time, I set the voice of the Jade Order to a female voice just to make myself feel comfortable. Unexpectedly, in this world, the Jade Order has become a fairy in many people's hearts. At least 100 people in the Star Guards have already attached their hearts to the Jade Order and plan not to marry for the rest of their lives. .

Meng Donglai often called these people over to scold them, but the effect was not good.

He has decided that the next time Dragon City introduces people from outside, it will introduce more women and forcefully assign wives to these people, so that they will know that real women are much better than virtual ones.

After walking around the drying yard, Meng Donglai returned to Dragon City on horseback. Now that the industry in Dragon City is constantly upgrading and evolving, he cannot do without him.

The biggest difference between Dragon City and the cities of this era is that it has no city walls.

Starting from the center of the town, the urban roads of Dragon City radiate in all directions in the shape of a well. The center of the well is the center of the town, with a length and width of 1000 meters.

Tic-tac-toe is divided into eight districts in total by adding four corners in the southeast, northwest and north. Counting from the rectangular area in the due east direction, they are respectively named as District [-], District [-],..., District [-].However, the established mission prefers to refer to these eight districts by directions.

The southeastern area of ​​Longcheng is a residential area. It is full of residential buildings covering an area of ​​[-] square meters and a construction area of ​​[-] square meters. They are called townhouses in the later world, but they are single-story.

At present, there are 2000 residential houses built, all of which are brick and wood structures. Currently, more than [-] residents of Longcheng are allocated to live in these [-] yards.

The east area of ​​Dragon City is a market, where dragon coins can be used for transactions.

The northwest area of ​​Longcheng is a barracks, and there are a thousand star guards living in it. When they take a break, these star guards can also return to live in the houses assigned to them in the southeast area. There are family members they have brought from all over here.

The northeast area of ​​Longcheng is an industrial area, close to Dayeze, and there is a river passing by. It is convenient to use water, and at the same time, it can also use water conservancy in the early stage of development. After all the wheat is returned to the warehouse, it will be gradually arranged here to be ground into flour. At that time, Meng Donglai Let Longcheng people feel the charm of snacks, not just boiled wheat grains.

Meng Donglai walked all the way through Longcheng, passed the town center, and finally came to the industrial zone.

Today is the day for the test run of the steam engine. Yesterday, the first steam engine in Longcheng was manufactured. It started as a high-pressure steam engine equipped with a centrifugal governor and a flywheel. The designed power was 10 kilowatts, equivalent to 13 future generations of horsepower.

When we came to the engine room, more than 100 people had gathered here, all of whom were star guards involved in the manufacture of steam engines.

They have only seen the design drawings before, and the real thing has only been seen in "Starry Sky", and they have never seen this thing in the real world. Today they will witness whether the steam engine knocked out by them one by one can really work. .

With the arrival of Meng Donglai, Heifu asked for instructions and directly ordered to start filling the coal. The blower was turned on by a few strong men, and the flame of the boiler was vigorously visible to the naked eye.

The boiler, which was already on the verge of boiling, immediately burst into steam.

Under the pressure of the steam, the flywheel gradually turned, and then turned faster and faster. After the speed reached a certain level, Heifu gave an order, and the power was connected to the forging machine next to it.

Driven by steam power, the forging hammer weighing a thousand catties was slowly lifted up, and then suddenly fell down.

Boom!
Meng Donglai felt the ground shake.

Boom!Boom! …

The continuous loud ringing kept coming.

A huge cast iron mold was lifted by three star guards and placed under the forging hammer, and then a small iron plate was clamped and placed on the mold. With a bang, the iron plate was directly smashed into the mold. After several times in a row, , a cold-forged breastplate emerges directly from the mold.

"Bravo."

The star guards watching nearby couldn't help but sigh.

If this kind of breastplate was forged manually, it would take at least two or three days. Even with division of labor and cooperation, it would be difficult to compress it into one day. Now with the steam forging machine, it can be forged in just a few breaths.

"Now I announce that the Dragon City steam engine has been successfully developed!" Meng Donglai announced loudly.

"Long live!!"

"Long live!!" The star guards next to them shouted in unison.
