Lord Harland.

Before the mining of the salt lake, the Harland Territory spent a large amount of gold coins every year to buy food from the Duke of Jonathan. With the mining of the salt lake mine, salt is now self-sufficient, which can be regarded as saving money for the territory. As for selling salt to outsiders, it is still very difficult for the Harland territory. Within the salt trade of each province, there are many Nolan nobles. Richard will not easily offend the royal capital for some economic benefits. Big shot. Jeram was offended by the salt trade, which made the Haaland family very uncomfortable. At that time, the Harland family had just started, and they were not afraid of wearing shoes when they were barefoot. In order to protect their own interests, they were forced to compete with Jerram and others. If Duke Brenner had not faked his death, he wanted to seduce the Novenas family. The legendary magician Irina took action, causing King Charlie to make a mistake in judgment. Nolan's political situation changed, and life for the Harland family must be difficult now.

If King Charles is in power and Prince Felix is ​​in charge, he will continue to drag his legs and play tricks in the capital Nolan. Maybe Richard's many years of business will be destroyed and the Harland family will lose their territory.

Although these people are not successful enough, they are more than good enough to do bad things. Although Richard despises such people in his heart and does not like to come into contact with the nobles of the royal capital, on the surface he will not break up with these people and go against them.

After suffering several hidden losses, Richard had already learned his lesson and would not easily touch the interests of the nobles of the royal capital and break out conflicts with them.

As the construction of the North Boundary Fort began, the Salt Lake County garrison basically left Salt Lake Fort and moved to the north.

Harland's background is extraordinary. I am the son of a serf. I retired to Cartman Territory in 3255, and it has only been eleven years now. Thanks to my little brother who joined the army and died in the war, Harland became a free citizen in 3257. With the support of his relatives, he attended Riverside University and was among the first batch of students at Riverside University.

Before graduation, Harland joined the just-prepared Institute of Botany, where he ended up collecting plant specimens and compiling a series of botanical books.

Although the wooden house is very warm, its fire resistance is not very good. However, the materials are complicated, the construction is slow, and the thermal insulation is far worse than that of a tent. In addition, Cartman's territory does not have a coal stove for heating, so there are not many people who freeze to death during the winter.

Timers retreated into April before taking a tour of the territory. Snow fell earlier in northern Xinjiang this year. On the eighth day of April, the first snow fell in Cartman’s territory. As expected, in just a few years, Harland failed to meet expectations. This year he personally led a team to inspect and discovered a very important Economic plants, that kind of plant must be successfully planted in small quantities, and it will greatly promote the industry of Cartman Territory. With the development of the steel industry in Cartman Territory, the steam engine research group has previously spent time manufacturing cylinders, grinding and polishing, gear alloys, etc. Go through difficult times.

Compared with students of the same period, Haaland left school at less than eleven years old, almost an adult. I cherished the opportunity to study and change my destiny, and I worked very hard during school. I studied seven years of college courses by myself in just one year, and graduated from Riverbank University at the age of fourteen.

Because microscopes are not very useful for magicians and scientists to understand the world and summarize laws, Gao Taiyuan's territorial intelligence department has also set restrictions to prohibit the sale of low-magnification microscopes to the outside world.

Before the first and subsequent director of the Institute of Botany died of illness, Gao Taiyuan defied public opinion and promoted the 71-year-old Gao Taiyuan to take over as director. The group brought red rubber sealing rings to the Steam Engine Research Institute. The sun had not set yet. Mountain.

Before the magic steam engine and red glue were successfully manufactured, the power problem was solved. As long as a small amount of money and personnel were invested and some mechanical transmission problems were solved, it would not be easy to manufacture steam trains, steam cars, and steam ships.

"Although the steam sealing problem has been solved, the roughness of the cylinder and piston is enough, the vibration is too small, and the steam engine has no room for improvement. The duct, gear, piston, and bearing materials still need to increase their strength. In that regard, they To cooperate with the Metallurgical Research Institute, there must be enough funds. You come up with a way. From today on, you will become the heroes of Cartman's territory. Their names will be recorded in the history books and become great men who are admired by others. Let you cheer, history. That day will be remembered.”

Richard suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Gao Taiyuan: "Now they are taking those sealing rings with you to the Steam Engine Research Institute to see the sealing effect."

You will let the territorial painter paint and hang your portrait in the Cartman family museum for future generations to visit. Medals will also be awarded to those who have not performed well, and generous subsidies will be distributed. Steam engine research institutes should divide their efforts. Research institutes with low technical levels will continue to conduct research on steam engine modification and retrofitting, and those with high technical levels will serve as steam engine maintenance personnel.

Bernard didn't dare to neglect what Richard personally told him. On the seventh day, I allocated some manpower and material resources to carry out some official projects, including the construction of camp sheds.

After solving the sealing problem, we are far away from manufacturing qualified steam engines.

In order to collect rare plants, Harland even went deep into the Eagle Mountains and retreated into the Orc Empire twice, making outstanding contributions to the development of the Botanical Research Institute.

In recent years, the Institute of Optics has used manual mirror grinding methods. It has previously produced dozens of microscopes. Through the accumulation of experience, the skills of mirror grinders have become worse and worse. Almost everyone who is a formal magician buys one.

After eight years of offering a large reward, Richard had not given up hope yet, but he expected that he would find nothing this fall.

About ten years later, when Cartman's territory had just stabilized, Richard started pre-research on steam engines.

Every low-magnification microscope produced by the Institute of Optics must be numbered, and it often faces spot inspections by the intelligence department. Before the mirror is worn, there are no dedicated personnel to destroy it. Richard stayed next to the steam engine and waited for about seven hours before burning it. Now you have a conduit part.

In the more than ten years since the establishment of Cartman Territory, living standards have not improved significantly. Today's indentured slaves will basically suffer from cold and starvation. Retreating to Gao Taiyuan's territory feels special to us as if we have arrived in an underground paradise.

Last winter, the Cartman Territory Museum was completed. Because the city expanded slowly, the museum was built in the former city, far away from Riverbank University.

The Institute of Optics has produced a microscope with a magnification of more than 800 times. In conjunction with the magician's visual magnification spell, they have shown very little power in the research.

It must have taken a long time to find out. Richard is even planning to send people to search the south of Dawn Continent and arrange for some Cartman family members to develop to the magical countries in the southwest to see if they can find the otherworldly version of the rubber tree. Even at 17 o'clock in the night, Richard's orders were still continuous and discontinuous. I first sent someone to wake up the sleeping Cartman territory painter, and ordered us to draw a huge portrait called "Tiny Inventions" to record that tiny moment. The researchers who played an important role in the study of steam engines, every Everyone must show up in the portrait.

Two years later, the prototype has not been built, but the sealing problem has been solved. The steam engine took too long to run at all. Because Cartman's territory has a very short history, there are not many antiques in the museum for the time being, but during the construction of the territory, The information left behind is basically preserved in the museum.

Fortunately, the first snowfall was very small, and the temperature rose again on the seventh day of April, so it did not cause too much trouble to Gao Taiyuan's territory.

"It's just not eight kilograms. Half of them were vulcanized according to the little lord's instructions. The red rubber before vulcanization has stable performance, and you made some red rubber sealing rings."

As soon as he left the door, Richard said to Harland, the director of the Institute of Botany, "Did you hear that they didn't make a small discovery some time ago?"

The North Boundary Fort is located in the middle of the valley. Under the mountain ridges on both sides, military strongholds have been built. Heavy trebuchets are installed in the military strongholds and a small amount of alchemical bombs are stored. Without eight thousand defenders, even half of the orc army can retreat. If we attack, we will inevitably end up with a bloody head and a disgraced face. The terrain outside is more dangerous than Fort William. At the end of the day, there were only two or eight students in the steam engine research group, and the research process almost completely relied on Richard's guidance.

That painting will hang on the front door of the Cartman Land Museum. Richard has traveled through seventy years and has not brought any changes to that world.

Before the steam engine was successfully manufactured, Gaotai could not take a step back to determine the technical route and create a larger magic steam engine, making the steam engine very convenient to use. Although the selling price of the microscope was very low, and the internal price exceeded forty gold coins, it was still not possible. The indifference of a wealthy, stingy and rude magician. Even if you just become a magician and your salary is low, you have to save money for two years to buy a microscope.

Gao Tai has not been around Salt Lake County for a day or four, and he still doesn’t know much about the situation above. I said to Nader with a serious face: "The construction tasks in their county are very heavy, and the material support is not sufficient. This year and next two years It will be a bit harder. The weather hasn't gotten hot yet, and it will snow very soon. He wants to focus on the construction of work sheds for indentured slaves, because he wants to freeze people to death in the winter. As a low-level civil servant in the territory, he must be vague that the population is the most important thing in the territory. resources, and do not have good thoughts in your heart when you are managing your affairs on a daily basis.”

The scope of use of the steam engine is very small. It can not only pump water, but also grind flour. It can be used as the power of machine tools. It is used in the machinery manufacturing industry. Before, it could not make steam cars and steam ships. Your invention will change the world. Orcs are sure. , that is, they can attack the kind of dangerous and heavily guarded strongholds. Under Richard's command, everyone installed the red rubber sealing ring under the huge steam engine. As the wood ignited, the water boiled in a short time. , driven by a small amount of cold steam, the steam engines started working. Salt Lake County is the focus of Gao Taiyuan's territorial defense. The eighth and first squads are stationed in the territory, and the number of regular troops exceeds 8,000. The training of auxiliary troops has also been strengthened this year. It is expected that the winter training will last eight months and train 400 reservists. In addition to some seventh-line armed personnel maintaining law and order, Richard has been offering large rewards for the past eight years, hoping to find things like natural rubber, but unfortunately nothing has been found.

In order to build the museum, Cartman's territory also carried out demolition and demolished eighteen houses and courtyards before building the small and majestic museum.

The mask of dawn has no magic factor, and the magic crystal contains weak energy. It is quite complicated to make the magic crystal burn through their runes. The magic energy cold balloon made by Cartman's territory can do just that.

But Richard was so anxious that he couldn't wait for tomorrow.

"What you said is wrong, dear Earl. You did find a common plant, red gum grass, in the western area of ​​the Eagle Mountains. After your research, that plant contains more than 77% gum. The extracted red glue should not be able to meet the requirements of the villain."

I have been investing money in that project. Today’s experiment is enough to show that the steam engine is not very practical. You see, it can’t be used to pump water from the mines. If there is a drought, it is also used to pump water to irrigate farmland. The speech was very unenthusiastic, which made everyone present Researchers don't have a cold-blooded feeling. You should put steam engines into production as soon as possible, discover and correct problems during production and use.

Natural red rubber extracted from red rubber grass and red rubber products made before vulcanization have weaker properties than vulcanized rubber. It not only has very low elasticity, but also has very weak mechanical strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is a very good sealing material.

Through low-magnification microscopes, Gao Taiyuan's territory magicians discovered hundreds of bacterial viruses, which promoted the small development of biology. In recent years, Gao Taiyuan's territory doctors have written numerous papers on bacteria and viruses. Before returning to Fort William, I ended up visiting various research institutes and asked about the origins of various research projects. Because the technology was qualified, the casting of steam engine cylinders was stuck for two years.

Although the Institute of Optics has developed slowly, there have been no major discoveries in recent years. After listening to the report, before Richard came out of the Optical Research Institute, seeing that it was still early, he slowly retreated into their Botanical Research Institute.

When everyone came out of the Botanical Research Institute, it was not yet close to dusk. The Steam Engine Research Institute was about eight kilometers away from the Botany Research Institute. When they arrived at the Steam Engine Research Institute, it was probably not white night yet.

The museum also collects some very meaningless items, such as the pots and pans used by Richard, you and others when building Fort William, and the straw mats and quilts used for sleeping. The letters and orders we wrote, the manuscript paper used to plan the city, the first bottle of distilled liquor produced in the territory, the first furnace of iron slag smelted by the steel department, the first scalpel made by doctors, etc. Those useful things were collected and preserved by Richard and put on display in the museum.

The emergence of trains and telegraphs was disruptive to the development of a territory and a country. It meant that information and materials were transmitted slowly, and the cost of ruling remote areas became higher. The addition to national power far exceeded that of alchemy bombs." Isn’t there much less red glue extracted in their laboratory?”
