The current daily cement production is only a little more than ten tons, which is far from enough to meet the construction needs of the city wall.

Therefore, Gooden's plan is to increase cement production to more than 100 tons within a month.

Coming to the Engineering Research Institute, due to the addition of many new apprentices, the previously empty institute suddenly became a bit crowded.

At this time, Buck happened to rush out of the main research building and was overjoyed to see Gooden.

"Master, I was just going to find you. The test of the mobile steam engine and water pump you requested has been completed, and the results are very good. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Let's go." Gudern didn't hesitate and stepped forward directly to follow Buck.

"According to your requirements, a set of mobile steam engines weighs less than 150 kilograms with water added, and is all designed to be shockproof and dustproof, and has buffering and fast lifting buckles."

"The operating power can be stabilized at about 110 kilograms at the same time, and the load operation can reach 150, which fully meets the power requirements of the water pump."

When Buck took Gudern to the testing site, he did not forget to introduce relevant data to him in detail.

The test site for mobile steam engines and pumps is not far behind the main laboratory building. Here, the engineering team that was "forced" to come dug two 2X3X1 pools.

One of them has been filled with water, about six cubic meters, or six tons of water.

"Let's test it directly. How about the power of the water pump?"

Gooden gave an instruction casually, and then asked Buck.

"The water in this pool, calculated according to the formula you gave, can absorb and transfer about ten kilograms of water per second. This pool will be drained in about ten minutes."

Ten kilograms per second...

Gooden rubbed his chin and wondered whether such efficiency could be used to popularize the town's water supply system.

But unfortunately, this thing involves a lot of complicated calculations. Even with the help of various entries, Gooden can't figure it out for a while.

As the mobile steam engine and the water pump were started, a large amount of clean water began to gush out from the water pipe outlet leading to the dry pond at the other end.

At the same time, the water in the reservoir was also dropping rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than ten minutes, a pool of water was transferred to the other side.

From this point of view, this set seems to have basic practical uses.

After thinking for a moment, Gooden ordered.

"Deploy five people who know how to use this equipment, pack the truck, and go out with me tomorrow."

"Yes, Master."

The purpose of this equipment is naturally to be used in iron ore fields.

You must know that the iron ore mine is an underground mine, and there is a mine tunnel that has been flooded by water.

Although he has eliminated and replaced the negative entries about water seepage before, it may still be used in the future if the guarantee is not complete, so it needs to be transferred as a backup.

But if he wanted to go to the mine, Gudern would have to recruit someone else.

Back at the castle, Gudern went straight to the training ground in the backyard of the castle.

The safety issue of the mine has always been a big issue that has been lingering on Gudern's mind. With the arrival of the imperial cavalry and having certain dispatch power, he had an idea in his mind.

That is to station the imperial cavalry near the mine. As for the reason for stationing, he has already thought about it.

I often find orcs nearby, and I always feel unsafe, so I send people to patrol to protect the safety of the people in my territory.

He didn't need to use the free military power, and at the same time, he could test Jinyuan City's attitude towards him.

Arriving at the training ground, Dedalo is now instructing Irene on some skills in using the big sword...

Chapter 88 A pickaxe weighs a thousand pounds, the harvest season (an extra update for the sugar-dipping boss!)

Looking at Irene who was wielding a big sword, Gudern did not interrupt her training immediately.

Irene flexibly shuttled and attacked within the prescribed area, and her valiant appearance made Gooden sigh inwardly.

Dedalo, who was on the side, was surprised and worried about Irene's learning speed.

Erin has a legendary talent, and with the addition of wholeheartedness, which accelerates learning efficiency, as long as Erin learns to try it twice, she will be able to master it.

This kind of talent and learning speed make Dedalo, as a mentor, very envious.

If he continued to study at this efficiency, he would probably have nothing to teach in less than two months and within a month.

After completing a round of training perfectly, Dedalo paused the training and asked Erin to take a rest.

"Master Gudern." Turning around, Dedalo motioned to Gudern.

"Well, Captain Dedalo, I have some business matters that I need to discuss with you. Can we go to my study to talk?"

"Okay." Dedalo nodded, then glanced at Irene, and then whispered to Gudern.

"Miss Irene's talent is so great. I estimate that within a month, I will have nothing to teach her."

"It's okay. As long as the teaching results satisfy me, I will still pay you the remaining one month's salary."

"That's okay too."

When he came to the study on the second floor, Gudern also expressed his idea of ​​​​mobilizing troops to garrison near the mine.

"There is no problem with this transfer order. I will arrange it later. I will also send a supply order to Jinyuan City and ask it to set up a direct route."

Regarding Gudern's arrangement, Dedalo agreed directly without thinking.

He didn't even ask him the reason, which made Gooden, who was already prepared, suddenly confused.

"Um, I am mobilizing troops from Jinyuan City. Doesn't this require approval from above?"

"No need, you are the supreme commander-in-chief now. Unless the military headquarters directly orders me to withdraw from Qingyuan Ridge, or when we need to perform a mission, we will go beyond your order and execute it."

"This kind of task of mobilizing garrison troops only requires a greeting to the logistics supplies. It does not require review and permission from the military department."

"Understood." Regarding this result, Gooden nodded thoughtfully.

He didn't expect that it would be so convenient to mobilize the imperial army, which made his preparations in vain.

Then the two briefly discussed the number of people to be stationed, the tasks after the station was stationed, and some response plans.

Gudern had already planned and arranged this detailed arrangement, and soon the two of them had completed the details of the defense adjustment task.

After sending Dedalo away, Gudern went non-stop to find Old Joseph and asked him to arrange the distribution of personnel to the mine tomorrow.

Gooden still had to go to the manganese mines and iron mines in person. After all, he was the only one who could modify the entries.

The busy day was skipped in a hurry, and in the morning of the next day, Gudern, with the help of Eileen, put on his own manganese steel armor.

His own armor is not as gorgeous and beautiful as Erin's. Instead, it is very low-key and designed purely for defense.

At the same time, as the last life-saving barrier, three of the four entries in Gudern's armor are for defense.

There is even one that protects mental power.

[Calm and Calm: When the wearer suffers a weak mental attack, it can slow down the damage suffered]

With this, he can protect everything from physical defense to magical defense.

Looking at his handsome self in the bronze mirror, Gooden silently gave a thumbs up, and then said to Eileen.

"Okay, you go change your armor too, and we'll set off together later."

"Ah? Master, I'm going too?"

Irene was a little surprised when the young master asked her to go out.

"Well, Dedalo is going with us today. I probably won't be able to make it back in the afternoon. If you go together, just go out and learn riding skills."

"OK."

After having the young master's reason, Irene no longer hesitated and immediately went to change her clothes and put on the exquisite armor.

Ten minutes later, Dedalo was leading two war horses, and one of the horses, Irene, was sitting on it and following the instructor's instructions.

"Press the stirrups firmly with the balls of your feet, and don't sit firmly on the horse. It's said to be riding a horse, but it's actually half standing and half sitting."

“When riding at a slow speed like now, you can sit on the saddle for a while to maintain your strength. If you are running, remember to stand up slightly, put your feet in the stirrups, do not sit firmly on the saddle, and follow the swing of the horse. Shake."

"Don't pull the reins too tight all at once. If you want it to stop, pull it slightly slowly so that it can predict your thoughts in advance."

With Dedalo's patient guidance, Irene quickly mastered the most basic riding skills and was able to control the horse alone and follow the convoy.

By the time she arrived at the manganese mine, Irene was already able to master all the basic operations of the war horse, and could control it perfectly even when running at high speed.

With such a powerful talent, Dedalo said that Irene was like a born knight.

She learned all the related skills in one go, which made Dedalo very envious.

In the manganese mine, with the arrival of new materials and personnel, the atmosphere in the mine suddenly became much livelier.

Mining, a physically dangerous job, is boring, but the wages you can get are among the best in the entire Qingyuan Town.

Now, the lord came and not only replenished them with basic supplies, he even brought them 200 kilograms of sugar and fine salt to reward them.

These things are something that even the nobles can rarely eat, and the lord actually distributes them directly to them.

For a time, the mood of the workers in the entire mine quickly rose a lot.

"Old Joseph, go and arrange the personnel handover, and gather the people who are willing to go to the iron mine. We will set off after I take care of it here."

"Okay, Master."

Regarding the handover work between new and old miners, Gooden plans to transfer half of the old miners to the iron ore.

At the same time, two-fifths of the newly assigned personnel were also selected, a total of about 60 people, plus logistics and family members, a total of about 130 people.

Those who work in iron mines will also have certain adjustments and increases in salary. After all, they are mining underground mines, which is more dangerous.

After giving instructions on the mission, he took Eileen to the mine, preparing to investigate the entry modification of the manganese mine.

Although the mining adjustment for more than a month has not changed much in the mine, the luster of many metals is exposed in several mining pits.

Approaching it, Gudern called out the panel, and a familiar light curtain flashed before the manganese ore purchase information appeared in front of him.
