Chapter 173 Vigorous Development
Chapter 173 Vigorous Development
Although the ore of the emerald mine is in his own hands, if he doesn't make it clear to Mary, he takes it and uses it himself, which will add a little crack to the relationship between the two, or even fall out.
Before he was sure about dealing with a second-level wizard, Thanos didn't have this idea.
Mary smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, what I promised will be done."
In fact, she has % of the emerald mine share.
But when the portal was bombed and she couldn't go back to the wizarding world, these emerald mines couldn't bring her any income at all, so giving Thanos % didn't feel bad at all.
Thanos continued to ask, "How about trade?"
Mary nodded, went to a seat beside her and sat down, and said, "City Master Wesley agreed, but you have to excuse the route yourself. As long as your caravan passes, as long as it is not a strategic resource, everything else can be traded."
Hearing this, Thanos' eyes lit up.
"That's right, that's right. Miss Mary is here so early. You haven't had breakfast yet. I'll ask someone to make one for you."
As long as the trade issue is resolved, the sunflower potion can continue to be used.
At that time, the effect of his own meditation will come up again.
Mary just heard that she was having breakfast, so she touched her flat stomach and said, "Okay, I heard that you like food very much, and you have special requirements for food. I just had a taste today."
Thanos saw that the other party was not polite, so he called Suni and asked the other party to prepare breakfast.
After a while, Mary finished her porridge and deep-fried dough sticks, patted her snow-white belly with satisfaction, and said with satisfaction: "No wonder people outside say that you are very strict with food, and it really tastes delicious."
Then the two chatted some more, and Mary took some administrative staff back.
After all, she came here just to ask some people to go back as assistants.
"Bang!" A sound.
With the door closed, Thanos plunged back into research.
Of course, when studying the Tower of the Undead, the research on Zombie General and Ghoul General was not pulled down.
However, these two researches are only transferred from skeletons to zombies and ghouls, so the researches are very simple and fast. They were researched in just a week, and then handed over to Ai Ruo, who asked the other party to modify it on the basis of General Skeleton Factory. .
……
While Thanos was conducting research, various changes occurred in the outside world.
First, there was a rain, which eased the drought and high temperature, and people began to resume some normal work and rest.
Uh... At least I come out in the morning and dusk, unlike before, I am in the house by myself, and my life depends on skeletons.
Then the emergence of the magic motor turned all the hydraulic windmills into civilian watering, and the farmland also had a rare bumper harvest, which postponed the food crisis.
And the Kane factory, because of the comprehensive popularization of magic motors, has greatly liberated the labor force and doubled the output many times.
Those researchers who transformed from Kane's blacksmith shop were the first to research the weapon machine tool.
As long as molten iron is poured in, and then the machine tool casts a film, a primitive armor or sword is formed.
The subsequent quenching and sharpening are much simpler.
Work like an assembly line, so that the daily output of the factory can reach more than 1000 pieces of weapons and equipment.
Spears, broadswords, short swords, longswords, shields, breastplates, helmets, bracers, boots, etc., almost everything.
Although it is incomparable with the industry on Blue Star, compared with the previous output of only more than 100 pieces per day, it is already an explosive growth.
Of course, Thanos' territory alone certainly doesn't need so many weapons and equipment.
But some time ago, it just happened to establish a trade relationship with the frogmen.
And these things are in short supply among the frogmen.
Any sword made of steel can be exchanged for more than 20 catties of food, or something equivalent, from the frogmen.
Such as various precious ores and plants and so on.
This allowed Thanos to relieve a lot of resource troubles.
However, there is also a problem, that is, there is not enough iron ore.
In the past, the iron ore they used was dug out from the Zixi mine and thrown aside.
But now with the increase in production, the iron ore is not enough.
So Thanos also increased the refinery of ordinary iron from the emerald mine and magic stone mine.
These precious mines do not only produce rare ores.
For example, purple tin mine, emerald mine and magic stone mine. Most of the output of these three mines is iron and copper, as well as some common ores.
The precious ore is only produced in small quantities.
Otherwise, Zixi Town would not have been able to dig only one carload of purple tin mines a day, because the number of purple tin mines dug out was very small.
After temporarily solving the iron ore production, but the transportation is another trouble.
After all, the weight of ore is not light. In the past, the carriages used to walk the platform on those dirt paths were fine, but when there are more carriages for this ore cart, various problems will arise.
What kind of potholes on the road caused the carriage to overturn, especially after it rained recently, the dirt road could not be walked at all.
So Thanos began to let his men build railways again.
Malone was good at this, so he handed over the railway business to Malone.
In addition to the machine tools, the Kane factory has not left behind the improvement of the magic gun.
At present, a magic machine gun that can fire five bullets has been researched, and while the consumption of magic stones remains the same, some power has been increased.
Some other researchers who have completed the conversion of necromancers and mastered soul fire began to study guns that consume soul fire.
If it can really be researched, then it is estimated that by then the undead will really have a soul musket in their hands.
In addition, there are some people who are studying how to popularize the magic motor and make it popular.
However, because energy is consumed by magic stones, and magic stones are strategic resources, most of the civilian uses are hydraulic windmills.
So everyone's most promising research project is the Soul Fire Motor.
Use soul fire to drive the engine, so you can save a lot of magic stones.
Later, Thanos saw more and more researchers, so he separated the researchers from the Kane factory and established the Kane Research Institute.
The reason why it is still called Kane is because of convenience.
After all, those researchers are all from the Kane factory, and everyone is used to it.
And Ai Ruo was sent out by Thanos to build psychic towers in other towns after he had been operating in the Necromancer House for a period of time.
The current psychic tower has been further improved, and a soul stone can absorb more than 70 points of soul fire.
So Thanos is going to build psychic towers in every town, as well as skeleton factories and zombie factories.
This is a plan for future wars.
In Thanos' idea, the number of human soldiers in future wars will be reduced to only a few hundred, and they will even be replaced by necromancers.
After all, human soldiers are too weak and their morale is too low.
Can't meet his needs at all.
Therefore, the number of various undead factories must be increased.
