Chapter 413 Black Fire Experiment
Lei Ze, with the arrival of the warm season, the originally vast ocean water has evaporated, revealing a flat ground.
It’s Mayday.
Various weeds and saplings have emerged under the sunshine.
But the seemingly vibrant Leize land is actually full of dangers, with small puddles everywhere among the weeds. The dry land next to the small puddle is actually a lurking muddy swamp, just waiting for people and animals to fall into it.
“roar!”
The black oil dragon Rosey flew slowly close to the ground, making meaningless roars from time to time. It liked this warm weather.
On the dragon’s back, Russell’s forehead flashed with the mark of the Lord of Thunder, and behind him, snow-white wings transformed.
He was observing his territory Leize at a close distance. After Roselle flew around Leize, he already had an idea.
“The outline of Leize is not very regular, but it is roughly a circular territory, with endless flat ground and almost no small slopes at high points.” Russell drew a picture on the manuscript paper and began to outline it.
“The lowest place is the depression southwest of the center of the territory, which is suitable for being developed into a lake.”
On the map of Leize he had just drawn, Russell put an “X” to indicate that he wanted to dig a lake.
Then he made a bold move and drew two straight lines crossing the “X” on the map: “Well, not only do we need to dig the lake, we also need to dig two rivers to introduce all the water sources in the territory into the lake and change the swamp landscape.”
After the lakes and rivers are excavated, drainage canals will be further excavated to try to completely drain the large area of swampland.
In low-lying areas where water cannot be drained out, lakes can be dug on the spot or converted into paddy fields for farming.
Anyway.
As long as there is sufficient labor force, there is no field that cannot be cultivated.
“In the future, when the three territories are merged into one, the accumulated water in Leize may continue to drain away, making it more suitable for farming.” Russell is full of confidence in his territory, which is a legacy that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Even if you build a country in the future, if you have many children and grandchildren, you can still arrange for a second son to inherit the inheritance.
“I just don’t know if Lei Ze will gradually slump after Baoli and I die of old age. If Lei Ze slumps and loses the resonance of the warm enclave, will the large territory in the future shrink into the Dark Light Valley and Black Fire? Two small pieces of earth?”
This is a question worth pondering.
However, there are too few dragon domain lords in the records, so it is difficult to tell clearly what changes have occurred in the warm enclave opened by the pseudo-dragon.
“Forget it, Paulie and I are both young, and Paulie has just been promoted to pseudo-dragon, so her life span will never be that short.” Russell laughed at himself, “Quentin II has lived for one hundred and ninety-five years, and I am still Can you lose to him?”
so.
Russell’s tentative goal in this life is to live to be over two hundred years old. If possible, he wants to live for thousands of years like the dragon.
“Even if I merged with the ice cream, just like Seacroft merged with the Lost Dragon in “Song of the Volcano” and became a conceptual revenge dragon, I would be immortal.” Russell began to imagine.
Life is so wonderful now. Like the emperors on earth, he hopes to live forever and enjoy happiness forever.
The extraordinary power of Longmian Continent is vividly displayed in the giant dragon.
If you want to live forever, you must first become a dragon knight.
“Okay, Russell, let’s go back.” Lei Ze finished the inspection and was not in a hurry to develop it for the time being. Russell planned to develop the Black Fire Land first.
Lei Ze can let it grow wildly for now, and come over occasionally to see if any elves or fantasy beasts have been born.
“roar!”
The black oil dragon flapped its wings and flew high, returning to the land of black fire in a moment.
Viewed from a high altitude, the land of Blackfire is already lush and green. It was only carved out of the snowfield last year, and it is already full of life this year.
A road leads from the Gloomy Valley in the west, across the Broken Snowfield, to the center of the Black Fire Land.
Thousands of workers, divided into different groups, are building Russell’s castle.
In the northwest direction of the territory, a charcoal avenue also extends, leading to the black oil veins. The fleet transporting black oil is like a long queue. There are several brick kilns, pottery kilns, porcelain kilns, and even glass kilns under construction around the mine.
Hooray!
The black oil dragon Rosey swooped down and landed next to a row of slightly strange houses.
“How is the order here at the mine?” Russell jumped off the dragon’s back, with his hands behind his back, inspecting the progress of the project like a leader.
Katie praised this without hesitation: “The new knights are very good at management work. They manage the serfs in a knight formation and keep the work of the entire mine in order… They are indeed talents from the Dragon Blood Knights. “
“Yes, the Dragon Blood Knights are very training people.” Russell nodded.
This can be seen from his eldest brother Roland. Roland learned his management methods from the Dragon Blood Knights.
This knighthood, which is directly under the Red Castle, trains reserve lords of the Grand Duchy.
Therefore, he not only teaches how to conquer the snowy fields, but also how to manage the territory. Even if he cannot win the title of Lord, he can still become a knight commander in the manor.
“You also need to learn more from them. In the future, the entire Blackfire Land and even Lei Ze will be patrolled by you. The burden is very heavy.” Russell patted Katie’s shoulder affectionately, “And Jerry, too. Military training must be strengthened.”
“Yes, sir!” Katie beat her chest solemnly, so hard that her armor made a clanging sound.
This made Russell wonder if she would have chest pain.
“in addition.”
“My lord, please give me your instructions.”
“You also need to carefully observe this group of great knights to see who is not useful or has bad character. In the future, I will eliminate a group of knights.” Russell ordered. Although he lacked talents, not all knights would be accepted.
“No!” Katie responded.
“Okay, go ahead and do your work. I’ll go take a look around the laboratory.” Russell waved his hand and went directly to the row of slightly strange houses.
This row of houses is made of mud bricks and the walls have not yet been painted. There is a sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard – Black Fire Laboratory.
“Lord Russell!” The knight on duty at the door saluted quickly. This was the knight sent by the Fluorescent Mushroom family to support Russell.
Entered the house.
A group of scholars and apprentices in white coats were busy doing various experiments with various types of experimental instruments.
“Ah, Lord Russell, you are here.” A man in a white coat spotted Russell.
“It’s Kirov. Let me come over here and look around. Where is Mr. Placido?” Russell recognized the other party, the scholar Kirov.
“The teacher is here, I will take the adults there.” Kirov enthusiastically and respectfully led Russell.
The enthusiasm was for Russell’s status as a financial sponsor, and the respect was because Russell was about to become a great polymath.
Recommended by the elector Mel, Russell’s promotion to the title of Great Scholar has been discussed at the Great Scholar Roundtable.
A total of three rounds of discussion and approval are required before the title of Great Scholar can be officially awarded.
But Russell’s problem is not big.
Retting technology has been fully promoted, and the benefits are obvious. With this credit, you can become a great scholar even if you don’t sleep.
“Teacher, Master Russell is here.” Kirov entered a laboratory and shouted to the old man in a white coat who was playing with something like an iron stove carefully.
The old man in the white coat turned around and saw Russell, but he did not stop to salute.
Instead, he quickly said: “I’m sorry, Mr. Russell, I can’t spare the time to salute you. This distillation furnace always breaks down every now and then… However, the distillation plan you proposed has already produced preliminary results. We really started from the dark side.” The oil decomposes into a special liquid!”
immediately.
The great polymath Placido turned his head and shouted outside: “Dunn, Dunn, quickly bring the distilled sample to Mr. Russell!”
“Come here, come here, teacher.” Dunn is also a polymath. Like Kirov, he is a student of the great polymath Placido.
He trotted over with a few bottles and cans, put them on the table, and immediately took off his hat to Russell and saluted: “Dunn has met Mr. Russell.”
“No need to be polite.” Russell waved his hand and looked at the bottles and jars. “Are these the products of the distillation and decomposition of black oil?”
Dunn explained: “Yes, the experimental tools are still a bit crude at present, and we only obtained four distillation products.”
