Chapter 154 The Elf's Third "500-Year Plan"

"almost."

Ke Lin said with a smile: "From south to north, build a road that runs through the entire Xia Ya - at least the width of four carriages driving side by side without crowding."

If someone else heard about such a big project, their first reaction would be to weigh it up. However, the knight Daeron, who is already addicted to road repair, agreed immediately, and even confirmed it as if he was afraid of the lord's repentance: "It's a deal." ,grown ups."

"But I must warn you."

Ke Lin said: "Enthusiasm alone is not enough. Building roads in the wild and small roads in the city are two different concepts. At the very least, you must also know how to build bridges. For this, I ask you to find Matthew as soon as possible." Learning, and at the very beginning, must be followed and supervised by his craftsmen and magic apprentices."

Daeron was just a knight after all, so of course his strength was nothing to say. If he really let go of his arms and worked by himself, he could at least be worth dozens of workers, but in terms of technology, especially the more complicated engineering design, he was not even as good as an apprentice craftsman.

The main road in Twilight City was built by Matthew and others before. After Daeron came, he was only responsible for repairing the small roads in the city, and naturally he didn't have much technical content.

The knight who heard this request didn't feel ashamed. Thinking that he could continue to build roads in the future, he said excitedly: "I will study hard."

"In addition, the alchemy workshop has developed the latest materials, and the equipment I mentioned to you will be assembled soon." Colin said this, looking at the excited and somewhat ignorant high-ranking knight, and said with a smile: "Mr. You will be the first batch of people to use these devices, your work is not only important, but also of great significance, it can even be said that it is related to where our Xia Ya can go in the future."

It was the first time Daeron had heard such a high-pitched argument.

Isn't it just road construction?

He doesn't quite understand Xia Ya's future, but at least he understands one thing - he can continue to build roads, and he can even continue to build. Thinking of this, he put his hand on his chest with knight etiquette, bowed and said: " Yes, my lord."

……

……

To the west of Twilight City, at the foot of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

A gravel road consisting of two rails extends out of the cave, all the way to the alchemy workshop on the west side of Twilight City.

The weather was still early autumn, but Colin still habitually put his hands in his pockets and refused to take them out. He and Olivia walked on this flat ground with obvious signs of artificial leveling, watching the busy kobolds at the entrance of the cave, I can't help but sigh that my luck is really good.

Xia Ya, who had never found a large ore vein, discovered a large amount of iron ore in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range after these little guys joined.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the previous humans. After all, except for those little guys who stay underground all day, no one will find this kind of thing.

"Your Excellency Olivia, are they still obedient?"

"Well, kobolds don't have much desire. Apart from eating, they just like candles. The current state can be said to be mutually beneficial."

"Do you know how many of them there are now?"

"Currently there are more than 1000 of them, and some scattered tribes are joining in one after another, but judging from the nearby places, the maximum number will not exceed 2000." Olivia replied.

"These are enough. If there are too many, I'm afraid they will dig through the Dragon's Back Mountain Range."

Of course, Ke Lin was joking. Although the thickness of the Longji Mountains in the north-south direction is not large, it is still a mountain range. If some kobolds can dig through it, this natural barrier that separates orcs and humans has long since existed. up.

The appearance of the kobolds solved an important obstacle to the development of the fortress today.

Cement and steel are the two most important materials for infrastructure construction. If you rely entirely on buying ore, no matter how thick your family is, it will not be able to bear it.

Kobolds actually don't like mining iron ore. If it wasn't for Olivia's request, they would still prefer the soft soil and hills, because there is more food there. The little guy who used to catch underground snakes, rats, insects and rabbits , Because of too much concentration at once, there is also a shortage of food.

Colin finally provided them with some food.

Although they don't like grains and beans very much, compared to the temptation of candles and the "overseers" of elves, these kobolds are still happily digging hard in the hinterland of the mountains.

The two walked all the way to the entrance of the cave. This cave, which is only half a person high, is difficult for people to enter and exit, but it happens to pass through the kobolds and the latest minecart.

The principle of the rail minecart is extremely simple, and even the knowledge of magic is not required at all.

After listening to Colin's description, Wald was stunned for a long time before muttering, "Why didn't anyone think of it before?"

Colin couldn't answer his question. He could only say that sometimes the way of thinking is really terrible. In a world where serfs are extremely cheap, the lord would hardly think about improving personal efficiency. Even on Earth, the industrial revolution promoted , partly because of a shortage of manpower.

However, the lack of people is Xia Ya's normal state, and Wald's main job is to rack his brains to improve efficiency.

Colin Wayne's talent is not innate, at least for the knowledge of the previous life, he is not much better than other traversers, so even for a simple minecart, he just gave a concept, and then Val De et al. to refine the details.

Two figures obviously taller than the kobolds sprang out of the cave, and Colin immediately discovered that they were Coral and an elf girl named Belinda.

Since the kobolds were discovered last time, the friendship between the two girls across races has also been recognized by both humans and elves.

At least Belinda can now stop sneaking around to play with Coral.

But the surrounding area of ​​the fortress is so big, there is nothing to play after a long time.

So the poor and bored two set their minds on these kobolds.

Belinda is now the kobold supervisor entrusted by Olivia herself.

Today's elf girls spend most of their time in the mine. Not surprisingly, Belinda, who is smaller, is more popular with kobolds, and there are several kobolds around her almost all the time.

Coral is no longer hostile because she is Belinda's friend.

But it won't be popular either.

As a result, the little girl often looks at her companions surrounded by countless "licking dogs" forever, envious and jealous.

"Your Excellency Olivia, haven't the elves ever thought of letting kobolds do things for you?"

"We don't have anything for them to do. The elves don't need ore ore." Olivia said: "But since the queen ascended the throne, I really hope to change the relationship with various races, especially the dwarves. Yeah, uh... that's the third '500 Year Plan' from the Queen."

"What is the 500-year plan?" Colin didn't realize it for a moment.

"It's what needs to be done within 500 years. Make a plan. The previous two '500-year plans' have been successfully completed. I came out this time for the queen's third '500-year plan' to go to the dwarf king McGonagall. Will submitted the letter and established a certain degree of friendship. Speaking of which, the queen has only been on the throne for more than 1000 years, but she has made great efforts to govern, but it has made all the elves sigh."

Colin was speechless for a moment.

Doing this thing for 500 years is also called "strengthening governance".

Thinking of the "five-year plan" that he often heard in his previous life, and thinking of the lifespan of elves, Colin instantly felt very reasonable.
