Chapter 55 Adding a set of drive shafts
The cordyceps for the second fluorescent mushroom worm were quickly selected on a white birch tree, which was another thick birch tree not far from the cordyceps.

Because there are currently no more woods in the Black-rumped Snake Manor to open up a new field of fluorescent mushroom magic medicine, the influence of the two cordyceps can only be superimposed to expand the speed and scale of fluorescent mushroom production in the birch forest.

"We must open up a new birch forest on the other side of the river as soon as possible." Russell issued the highest instruction.

Charles, Old Hans and others followed him and nodded hurriedly, indicating that all work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

indeed.

Russell could see across the river, a large group of serfs, led by the serf steward, were carefully cutting birch branches on the river slope.

Birch trees can be grown from seeds or from cuttings.

These cutting branches have been personally inspected by Eric, the knight of the fantasy beast, and they are the branches that breed magic power.

After the birth of the birch worm, the influence of Cordyceps is constantly exerting its influence, gradually transforming the birch forest, infecting ordinary trees into magic materials with magical power - absorbing magic power from the earth, and then nourishing the wood itself.

However, many birch trees have been growing for many years, and the infection will last for a long time, taking ten or even twenty years to fully mature.

Once the cut magic branches take root and sprout, they will quickly grow into magic birch trees without the need for infection.

Wait for Russell to make his rounds to the other side of the river.

When the serfs saw the arrival of Russell and his entourage, everyone put down their work and bowed ninety degrees to Russell.

Russell has changed the etiquette of serfs having to kneel down every time, to the first time they see the lord every day, they need to bend down and bow. When you meet the lord for the second time and more, you don't even have to bend down, you just need to lean over and nod to pay attention.

It not only implements the authority of the lord, but also does not delay the normal work.

For him, there is no need for the bad habit of kneeling and kowtowing to show his status as a lord. His status comes from the Fluorescent Mushroom family and the fighting power brought by fighting spirit practice.

"Red-nosed Rudy greets you, sir." The leader of the Potion Village, the technician Rudy with a red nose, bowed enthusiastically to say hello.

"Rudy, do your best. If there is any situation in Potion Village, please report to me at any time."

"Yes, sir."

"Ah."

Russell looked at the hard-working serfs and smiled sincerely. Such a large piece of land and so many crops in the land belong to him; so many people are working for him, and even these people belong to his private property.

The life of a manor lord may be boring and not as colorful as life on earth, but in terms of spiritual needs, it is rich.

The vast world is open to whatever you can do.

"Let's go, Teacher Charles, let's go see how the windmill is progressing." Russell ran towards the windmill on the slope with great interest.

Seeing the lords and knights leaving gracefully, the serfs who were quietly planting trees gradually became bolder and began to whisper.

"Master is so diligent. I can see him patrolling the territory almost every day."

The serf steward working next to him chuckled and said: "I am young and strong, so of course I have to patrol the territory every day to prevent you old guys from being lazy."

The serfs in charge were also serfs, so the serfs were not afraid and retorted: "You are also lazy. When the village chief cannot see it, you are the one who takes the lead in being lazy."

"If you say one more thing to me like this, I'll whip you!"

"Come on, whip me!" "Okay, you all, stop making trouble." A mature serf advised, "It's hard to find a generous and kind master. If you don't farm well and annoy the master, everyone will We have to go back to the hard days before!”

Hearing this, the serf steward nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, we are really lucky to have a master who is willing to take care of the food when we let the serfs serve."

"Now that we can grow magic potions again, the good times are yet to come!"

"The dragon is watching us!"

"Blessed by the light, I hope our master will live a long life and be in charge of our manor forever."

The wishes of the serfs have always been so simple.

At the same time, Russell had arrived at the construction site of the windmill. The main stone structure had been basically built, but the construction of the windmill's fan blades, as well as the rotating shaft and millstones in the mill were still ongoing.

The masons are polishing stone rollers outside. The stone rollers are very large and are carved from huge rocks mined from the Bend Edge Mountain.

Russell's knowledge was limited and he was not sure what type of rock it was.

Anyway, it is very hard and wear-resistant. The masons can chisel it several times before grinding off some of the edges. It takes at least half a month to polish it with just this pair of stone rollers.

Inside the mill, carpenters are busy adjusting wood.

Worms, turbines, bearings, connecting rods, windmills are far more complicated than Russell thought.

"Sir, you came just in time." The great carpenter of Windmill Mill, also the chief designer, is a serf technician in Fluorescence Castle - serf technician generally refers to all serfs with skills. Potion cultivation is a skill, and carpenters are also skill.

"what happened?"

"We measured it on the spot and found that the wind speed here in Alfalfa Village may be a bit poor in daily life, so we need to design a set of drive shafts to drive the grinding disc to rotate." The big carpenter said, "But adding an extra set of drive shafts will help. The wood requirements are too great.”

"So these woods can't be used?" Russell frowned.

"Key parts cannot be used. The wood is not strong enough." The big carpenter took out a piece of paper with a crooked design drawing on it. "Sir, you see, wood cannot be used for these parts. Metal ceramics must be used instead."

Russell took a look and found that there weren't many parts that needed cermet materials.

But this is definitely part of the cost overrun.

"I'm sorry, sir, we didn't think of this before. The wind power in Alfalfa Village is actually a bit insufficient." Charles hurriedly made a review and dismissed the blame. "These carpenters and masons were also too rough. They made sure that the windmill could rotate when they built it. Now they say Can’t turn.”

The big carpenter said: "Well, Sir Charles, we never said that the windmill can't rotate. It's that the power of the windmill will be smaller. If you want to ensure normal use, you need to add a set of drive shafts."

"Okay." Russell waved his hand, "It's a small matter, not worth arguing about. Now answer me, if this set of drive shafts is added, the windmill can operate normally, right?"

"Yes, my lord, I promise."

"Okay, Teacher Charles, you go to Fluorescent Castle to buy metal and ceramic accessories according to the needs of the big carpenter."

After Russell made his decision, he said to the big carpenter: "After buying the accessories, if everything is normal in the windmill mill, it will be easy to say anything. If there are still design problems, then I will hold you accountable and ask if the Fluorescent Castle has raised a group of people." What kind of technician.”

His tone was gentle, but in the ears of the big carpenter, he felt great pressure: "I promise you, sir, there will never be any problems again."

"Very good, I'm waiting for the good news about the completion of the windmill."
