Struggle in the Steam Age

After learning about the details of this front-line fortification from the fortress chief, Lawrence, accompanied by him, inspected the entire fortification and conducted simple spot checks on various places. The results of the spot check can be said to be very good. All the buildings have been completed, and various food and weapons have been stored in a warehouse that has been specially reinforced and raised its foundation.

As for the water problem, don’t worry, because this fortification is by the river and the groundwater level is shallow, so a well built in a house in the fortification is enough to provide enough clean water for everyone in the fortress. But for the same reason, those vital warehouses cannot be built into safer underground warehouses.

But considering that the enemies they faced were the goblins and some wolves, the ammunition and granary built with stones and cement were also strong enough. After all, the wolves here are not extraordinary creatures, just beasts. And the blow arrows and javelins of the goblins could not cause any harm to these fortifications.

In addition to this fortification, Lawrence and the others raided several other fortifications. I have to say that everyone has done very well in this aspect of construction. Almost all of the fortifications were put into use earlier than expected, and this situation occurred mainly because of the use of the ropeway transportation system.

With the help of Lawrence and Nora, the ropeway and supporting small steam engines that were originally planned to take months to be transported and deployed can be completed in just a few days. Therefore, more materials can be imported into this alpine meadow than it was planned at that time. In this case, the manpower that can be invested increases accordingly.

More importantly, after sufficient logistics support, the Tauren people brought their animals to this meadow earlier than expected, and those cows were able to provide a large amount of valuable dairy products at the same time. Labor force. With the help of those animals, they can naturally build more facilities at the same time in a shorter time.

This is why Lawrence and the others have completed cleaning up the goblins and certain beasts near this meadow and returned, and found that the fortress defense line that was originally planned to be completed in half a month could be so long in advance. The reason for the time to complete the infrastructure.

After inspecting the outer defensive circle, the main force began to return to their respective garrisons under the leadership of their respective officers. Lawrence and the others began to inspect the immigrants and their settlements that had entered the newly developed area of ​​Blue Mountain Meadows.

After all, compared to the line of defense used to hinder outside invaders, the operation of these immigrant settlements is the core that determines whether this newly opened territory can continue.

After Lawrence entered the planned central settlement, he was surprised to find that the old shaman who was the core of the island’s tauren faith had arrived here, and he was erecting a three-story building with his apprentices in front of a large cowhide tent. It's tall, it looks like a totem pole just carved out of a whole tree.

This large cowhide tent is located on a square with a fountain. In addition to the tauren’s shamanic religious core tent, around the square there are also a semi-underground church used by rat people to worship the horned rat and the four churches where humans are now on the island. The wooden church built here.

Obviously, the potential of this newly developed territory is not only secular, but also religious. So all the religious sects on the island now have built their places in this place. In addition, these churches have also sent talented people to build a series of infrastructure that belong to the church.

For example, on the way here, Lawrence saw a school built by the Church of Knowledge, a hospital built by the Church of the Passion, a small justice center built by the Church of Fortune, and a veterinary hospital built by the Agricultural Church. According to the escorts, the clergy of the Rat and Tauren also sent some of them to the mountains to prepare for new industries.

Unlike ordinary grassland, this alpine meadow not only has a lot of grassland but also a lot of mountains. So if you want to develop here, it is not a good idea to ignore the mountains. The rat people and the tauren people used this opportunity to devote their energy to the mountainous area no less than the grassland.

Taking into account the problem of soil and water conservation in mountainous areas, it is obviously a very stupid practice to develop logging industry. However, after studying the jungles, the rat priests and the tauren shamans discovered that these jungle-specific environments can be used to grow some special fungi and herbs.

So while the human churches are busy building various infrastructures, the scavengers and tauren personnel play their part in preparing to open up a part of ecological plantations in the surrounding mountainous areas, so that they stay in this small town. There are not many personnel. This is why even the tauren shaman has to do it himself when erecting totem poles.

"Why are you here now? This town just has a rudimentary shape, and many things have not been built yet." After the totem pole was completely erected in front of the cowhide tent, Lawrence and Syfiel walked forward to it. An old tauren shaman greeted, "And you can find someone to help you with these tasks, there is no need to do it yourself."

"No way, the children are very busy, it is really inconvenient to trouble them." The old shaman wiped the sweat on his forehead with a large handkerchief made of wool. "After all, we can do these tasks, so there is no need to call back the children who built the fortifications for this kind of work."

"As for me, I think I am still a certain distance away from the old being unable to walk, so I can just come here to help." The old shaman said while taking Lawrence and the others into a side room of the tent and sitting down. of. "And this place is so important to us, so I must come in person to rest assured."

In the next period of time, Lawrence and the old shaman chatted about the development of immigrants on this land. As an elderly tauren, the old shaman has carefully observed the overall situation of this newly completed town during this period of time, so it happens to be able to provide Lawrence with some valuable information.

According to the plan, this meadow will focus on the development of animal husbandry. After all, meat, milk, and leather are all urgently needed materials on the island. Especially in this era when the medical level is not particularly good, if there is sufficient daily nutritional supplementation, then the mortality rate of the ordinary people should be much lower~www.ltnovel.com~ More importantly, even in this era Various steam engines have been put into use, but animal transportation is still essential.

At least in the memory of Lawrence, even in the world of his last life, even in the era when the internal combustion engine was widely used in World War II, only the old and the United States could transport all motor vehicles, while the remaining national logistics must Rely on the power of those livestock.

"Young people are good at raising cows and sheep, but almost everyone is not very good at raising horses." The old shaman said seriously to Lawrence sitting across from them, "Although the priests in the agricultural church A technician you invited to explain how to raise horses very seriously, but these professionals are still too few."

"I tried my best, but there are islands on the Star Sea, so there are too few people who can raise horses." Lawrence shook his head helplessly. "Fortunately, we don't need too many horses for the time being, because many jobs are enough to have cows. As for the future--I think I can always hire enough people from the White Eagle Federation or the Republic of New Africa."
