Chapter 458

When winter goes and spring comes, the frozen soil melts and the earth in Ellington reappears green - of course, the Emerald Forest next to it is still like spring all the year round.

Throughout the winter, under the command of Lord Donne, the residents here withstood the cold, hunger and the attack of Warcraft, and survived the most difficult period of the year.

No one died of cold and hunger in Ellington all winter!

Throughout prandal, I'm afraid no lord or king can guarantee that no one will die in winter, but Donne did it. Ellington is nearly 50000... No, after accepting refugees, Ellington has now exceeded 50000 people, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation of more than 50000 people are all above the food and clothing line.

Even the vast majority of hard-working workers have entered the well-off era one step ahead of time.

Moreover, this process continues to accelerate - Ellington has entered a period of rapid development. People will continue to gather here because of the wealth here, and this speed will also be accelerated because of the construction of roads. Under the interaction, Ellington has entered a new period in 850 years.

Just as the residents of Ellington went out of their homes one by one and were ready to resume their work, rows of magic road levelers, magic pavers and magic rollers were parked neatly on a flat square outside Ellington. These were made by workers working overtime in the past 20 days, Now it is being checked by the goblins of the Star Diamond bank.

Yes, check.

After a short training, these crafty goblins have mastered the basic skills, but they think they can fully master the technology, so they always want to disassemble it.

"The report is in good condition and can be put into use at any time."

"Report, all personnel are in place and can start at any time."

"According to the report, the driver said that the seat height was too low, so they asked for adjustment - they thought it would be better to dismantle and rebuild the cab."

"Reject!"

Before Gallian agreed, Donne decisively interrupted them: "don't always think about making big news. You are too young. I have a high technical content here. If you dismantle and explode and kill people, who is responsible?"

"Of course -"

"Don't interrupt," Donne waved, "What's more, these magic machines are our investment for the project as investors. You only have the right to use them. The ownership still belongs to us in Ellington. Who will accompany you when you dismantle them? The value of this magic machine is more than 10000 gold coins. Just producing these magic machines will empty our finances in Ellington for more than half a year. Is it easy for me?"

"I see," Gallian nodded, then took out the loan contract. "Don't be afraid, we can lend you when we have no money."

Donne skimmed: "Who wants to borrow your usury? Don't talk nonsense. You've seen the construction drawings and understood the construction requirements. The first phase of the project starts from Ellington, crosses the Latian hills, connects the two main roads of the mountain city Bain and caspamiburg, and the cargo channel to forge hammer castle for the rapid transportation of raw materials. The construction period is tentatively scheduled for one month. In case of bad conditions The weather will be postponed. Let's start work if there's no problem. "

If someone on Earth says that it is necessary to repair nearly 1000 kilometers of roads a month, it is estimated that the leader of the engineering team will paste it with a slap. It is not impossible. In theory, it is completely feasible to have enough manpower and machines, but the problem is how to do it when there are not so many people?

It's impossible!

But in prandal, this "impossibility" has become possible.

Although prandal's industrial efficiency is extremely low, the magic machinery built by Donne using scientific methods is a typical high-efficiency equipment. The efficiency directly acting on the "phenomenon" is appalling!

What is called direct action on "phenomenon"?

For example, in the aspect of road leveling, the earth must first excavate, then gravel, then compact, and finally level. These are the general steps, right?

But what about the magic road leveling machine? Because the purpose is to "level the road", we use earth magic to directly act on the uneven road, use magic to change the existing situation, realize the direct "phenomenon" of road leveling, and avoid other redundant steps, which is the reason for high efficiency.

Therefore, although the total number of goblin construction team sent by Star Diamond bank is less than 5000, it is sure to complete phase I project within one month under normal circumstances.

Donne and Gallian symbolically detonated a row of projectiles to celebrate the start of the project. Then he stopped asking about it. It was supervised by other personnel of Datang chamber of Commerce. He just needed to listen to the result report.

Now he needs to pay attention to another thing: with the influx of refugees in winter, Ellington has ushered in a wave of floating population peak. Now that winter has passed, how should we arrange their new lives?

They certainly can't go back. In the current environment, the collar people are the private property of the Lord. Fleeing the territory without authorization can be regarded as defection. The result of returning is only hanging the head.

In other words, even if Donne doesn't like it, they can only stay in Ellington.

Fortunately, Donne welcomes these fresh... Well, the young labor force. The construction of Ellington urgently needs a large number of labor force. With the continuous expansion of the market and the continuous enhancement of its influence, the products of Datang chamber of Commerce have begun to go out of the ilrus Empire and sold to other countries.

Because the shipment volume is increasing, all kinds of factories and production lines need staff. With the return of people who continue to go out to expand the market and the return of tourists abroad, they will bring more orders and a larger market. The production pressure of the factory will further increase. In the era of industrialization, the gap of staff will only become larger and larger.

But now, due to the problem of food production capacity, don can't recruit a large number of workers. He must reserve some farmers to continue farming farmland - after all, Druid Grandia can respond to emergencies at the critical moment, but he can't replace so many farmers.

Increase agricultural production capacity, reduce agricultural population, work in factories, stimulate industrial progress, produce more advanced tools, and further improve agricultural production capacity. In the process of mutually stimulating virtuous circle growth, the excess production capacity is the key factor for social progress.

These excess capacity will make people rich, and then change the way of thinking from survival to life, to think about more things, culture and art, life and entertainment, physical chemistry, magic and war technology, and even the root of everything

The more you think about these things, the faster social progress will be.

In essence, Ellington is still in the process of transformation from agricultural society to industrial society. It is difficult for Ellington to fully enter the industrial era before fully realizing agricultural industrialization.

The key to the realization of agricultural industrialization now falls on Grandia.

After Donne and Gallian separated, they came to greenhouse 1, which is also an experimental seed base specially assigned to Grandia to study selective breeding.

"How's it going?"

As soon as Tang en saw Grandia, he couldn't wait to ask about the situation. There was no way. This project was related to whether Ellington's land could feed more people and whether Ellington could enter the era of magic industrial revolution without worries. Of course, Tang en attached great importance to it.

However, there are too many factors affecting plant hybridization, and the technology is quite difficult. Donne only knows the principle and is blind when he does it, so he can only put forward this concept. Only the master who can communicate with nature - Druid - can achieve that goal.

"It's difficult and troublesome, and because the difference is too subtle, we can't see the effect."

Grantia's face was a little bad. She had bitten Donne's hook, so she had stayed in the greenhouse these days. There were clusters of vigorous wheat seedlings in a small field in front of her.

"Really?"

Donne frowned and said patiently, "the genetic variation process of biological evolution is complex and long, so be patient."

"Biological evolution? Genetic variation?"

Grantia looked puzzled: "I still don't understand. Life is created by the gods. What does evolution mean?"

"The gods didn't appear when the dwarf and goblins played the nuclear bomb... Didn't there be any creatures at that time?"

Donne waved his hand weakly and said, "in short, take your time, keep the high-yield plants, and then carry out artificial pollination with other high-yield plants to increase the probability of benign genetic gene retention. As for drought and flood resistant varieties, let's talk about it later."

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I still understand that high-yield plants pollinate each other."

After hesitating for a while, grantia said crisp: "I feel I can't make it. If I can, I want to go back to the emerald corolla. If there are other sacrificial priests in the temple to help, I think I can complete this task."

"Can other priests in the temple help? They can't leave the temple."

Grantia rolled her eyes: "they just can't leave there. They didn't say they can't do their own things. In fact, they are too free!"

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Go quickly."

Donne smiled very brightly. If there were the help of those powerful Earth Goddess priests, he would get a good result soon.

After the grain production capacity has increased, we can open up our hands and feet, carry out drastic reform, and start the magic energy industrial revolution!

When the basic industry goes up and the magic modified aircraft cannon is made, whatever enemies they are, they will roll over and let them know the horror of magic modified technology!
