The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The letter sent by Xia Zuoyi to Orville soon received a reply. The Grand Duke wrote in the letter - he hoped to visit the Designia territory at the end of summer, and hoped to be able to meet Xia Zuoyi at that time. Share your experiences raising wolves.

The words in the letter are sincere and fully express the wishes of the Duke.

Xia Zuoyi naturally agreed.

When the end of summer is approaching and the beginning of autumn is approaching, Orville arrived at the castle with the little wolf cub and his subordinate Robert, just as a group of fluffy ones went into the forest to hunt separately, and Xia Zuoyi left two The cubs are playing in the small wooden house built by the lake, the rice cake is sleeping on the soft cushion inside, and the egg boy is energetic and running out to catch the butterflies and bugs in the grass.

There are seats next to the wooden house, a pot of scented tea and a rose cake specially made by Xia Zuoyi on the table. Both body and mind are relaxed.

The little wolf cub brought by Orville has a little gray hair from the tips of its ears to its back, and a small brush-like tail resting on the shoe of the Grand Duke. At this time, it is lying on the side and staring at the cub curiously, quite interesting. means to join.

"What's its name?" Xia Zuoyi asked.

"Snow." Orville ate a whole piece of rose cake, and took another sip of scented tea to moisten his throat: "It is very naughty, it has already torn three pieces of clothes and five pairs of shoes with its claws, and now it is sensible."

Probably because he heard his name, the little wolf cub raised his head and whined twice, and with one front paw, he pulled the hem of the Grand Duke's hanging clothes.

Orville pinched Snow's little ears.

At this moment, Eggboy suddenly started barking in the direction of the forest, stepped on his little paws excitedly and stood up from the ground, wagging his tail happily.

Xia Zuoyi also smiled and pointed to Orville's back: "It turned out that the ice cream came back first."

Orville turned around.

——A white wolf ran towards the castle in the late summer sunshine that was not dazzling. The sunlight passed through the treetops and sprinkled mottled patterns, shining dots among the grass and fields. The next moment the light and shadow patterns were replaced Stepped on and flowed quietly, the light and shadow of light and shade climbed on the white wolf's hair without a trace of variegation, and quietly passed away with the breeze.

Orville looked at the ice cream with imperceptible amazement, and Snow couldn't help getting up and running a few steps forward, his tail swaying slightly: "Aww."

Ice Cream stopped running towards Eggboy, and looked at Snow with icy blue eyes.

Snow couldn't help but groaned twice.

Orville watched Snow slowly approaching the white wolf, and finally started to circle around the white wolf, and said softly: "Did you know that the Powell country believes in the White Wolf King on the snow-capped mountains? On the Powell country's flag is a snow-white wolf."

Xia Zuoyi nodded suspiciously, and hummed: "I know."

"You mentioned in your letter before that Snow is a descendant of a white wolf king in Powell."

Although the letter didn't say much, Xia Zuoyi also saw from the Grand Duke's simple few words that he had reached some kind of cooperation or transaction with the king of Powell in private. Otherwise, how could he get a precious wolf king? Cub.

Orville turned his head to look at Xia Zuoyi, his light gray eyes shone brightly under the sun: "There has never been a single hair that is as pure as ice and snow in Powell country or even in the highland snow mountains in the extreme north. Wolf."

"It has an irresistible charm for the people of Powell, do you understand?"

Xia Zuoyi understood: "The Powell Kingdom believes in white wolves, is the Grand Duke worried that the Powell Congress wants to get ice cream?"

Orville was noncommittal, belief can give birth to everything, and the country of Powell has a reputation for being fierce and savage, so it is not surprising that they would do anything to get the white wolf.

Xia Zuoyi pondered for a while: "I understand what the Grand Duke means, but don't worry."

Orville: "As long as you can understand in your heart."

"The king of Powell Kingdom, Genna Cosmo, has big ambitions. What he wants is not only to be entrenched in the extreme north. For him, the existence of white wolves is a way to unite his beliefs... maybe you will See him at the winter exchange."

Gena Cosmo, the male supporting role in the original book.

Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised: "Could it be that His Majesty the King will go to the Saint Airo Empire in person?"

Orville nodded.

He remembered that in the original book, the heroine and the supporting actor would meet for the first time after the epidemic completely disappeared... I don't know if they will meet each other in advance in the empire.

The fluffy ones came back from the forest one by one. It could be seen that Snow liked ice cream very much, and they kept following the white wolf around, causing Eggboy to pounce on it several times, but Snow easily dodged it.

Orville didn't stay in the castle for long, and left the Designia territory three days later.

On the way, Robert said: "Grand Duke, His Majesty the King of Powell is a fierce lone wolf. His character was shaped by the cruelty of the extreme north. A white wolf king...he will probably find it himself..."

Orville stroked the drowsy Snow, and said slowly: "Don't think about it, maybe..."

He remembered what he had discussed with Xia Zuoyi during the few days he stayed in the castle.

Robert couldn't help pricking up his ears, maybe what?

The Grand Duke frowned suddenly and said nothing.

A lone wolf who can't be more ferocious will meet a hunter who knows how to set a trap, even if the hunter does not set the trap for his sake.

Not long after Orville left, Saigalot sent a letter to Xia Zuoyi with a list of famous alchemists and physicians in the Western Continent, which listed the factions and forces these people belonged to.

This list is very important to Xia Zuoyi, and he immediately wrote a letter to the Pope to thank him.

Although all alchemists belong to the Alchemist Association, the alchemists are divided into different factions because of their different research directions, and some factions are even hostile to each other. Of course, most alchemists are solitary Go, or look for a rich noble to provide support for their research, and they contribute their research results to the noble in some aspects.

At the beginning, Xia Zuoyi was famous in the Alchemy Association because of her research on plant potions and ointments. Because she was a noble lord, she really attracted many alchemists who came to join her.

These people's research direction is similar to Xia Zuoyi's research. In terms of alchemy, they tend to study the elixir of immortality, the Philosopher's Stone, which can cure all diseases and disasters.

The other factions are probably "turning stones into gold", researching all sacred things, such as a certain kind of stone that contains powerful power... researching alchemy to turn copper and iron into gold through a certain method, and even using this change to send The ability to inspire the mind, etc.

Or it is biased towards alchemy research in the direction of mathematics and physics, but compared to "chemical" experiments, physics-oriented experiments exist in very few.

Sometimes it's really hard to tell the difference between an alchemist and a physician. An alchemist may also work as a physician, but it's difficult for a physician to become an alchemist.

Therefore, although this exchange meeting is named after alchemists and doctors, the status of doctors is at the bottom.

Xia Zuoyi's study of alchemy in the direction of medicine actually deviates from that of doctors, which also polarized his reputation in the Alchemists' Association.

Xia Zuoyi didn't care about these things. Apart from initially needing an alchemist's badge, he never paid attention to the affairs of the Alchemist Association. Recently, he heard that the Alchemist Association had begun to form a force headed by Chebman Norton.

And Chebman Norton's main research direction is also to create the Philosopher's Stone, the panacea.

Xia Zuoyi remembered that the other party was a member of the Ed Chamber of Commerce, and according to what Archibald said, he explored the formula of plant medicine and ointment, and invented a plaster for treating hemorrhoids.

Xia Zuoyi thought that Chebman Norton was indeed very capable and talented. He didn't know what kind of person he was, and he could meet him once in the San Airo Empire.

Before late autumn approached, Xia Zuoyi sold the cement concrete pavement production process to Aqiyoli territory and Anas Kingdom.

Cement soil pavement includes various classifications, including plain concrete pavement, reinforced concrete pavement, fiber soil pavement, block soil pavement...

Xia Zuoyi selected several pavement types suitable for the existing technology, including plain concrete, which is a common concrete pavement poured on site, with low technical requirements and rapid construction.

——Cement concrete pavement is more widely applicable than asphalt pavement.

Asphalt concrete pavement can be used in some key sites, while cement concrete pavement of various traffic levels, such as roads between cities, main traffic arterial roads in the city, etc.

Maintaining and cleaning the pavement also helps people develop good hygiene habits.

A long time ago, Xia Zuoyi had asked the craftsmen's guild to study the steps of laying the road in detail, the most important of which was the cutting of the concrete road. He even tried it on a road, but the time between the cuttings was too long or too long It will cause problems on the road surface, such as cracks or burrs on the road surface.

A lot of time wasted in between.

But fortunately, Conrad and his eldest son Darren have made in-depth explorations in this area and solved many problems.

For this purpose, Xia Zuoyi specially asked Renault to develop a small concrete mixer equipped with iron wheels, rollers for crushing the road, etc. In view of technical limitations, many aspects of the machine have been improved and innovated. It is a process of reducing from electric to manual , On this basis, we must pay more attention to grasping labor efficiency and be more adaptable to current work tools.

Although there was no deliberate publicity, after the cement pavement began to be laid in the territory of Aqiyoli and the Kingdom of Anas, the stability, durability, anti-skid, and cleanliness of the cement pavement were gradually revealed, which also inadvertently made Xia Zuoyi's Fame spread even further.
