Chapter 78 Proverbs and the Progressive Kobold Tribe
When two moons appear in the same sky.
The ancient tree will proclaim the name of the prophet.
The prophet, who bears the enlightenment of all things, will bring boundless abundance to the hungry people.
He will eliminate the famine.
He will bring dawn.
He will lead you to build a brand new world.
He will share endless abundance with you.
After writing down the proverb, Lynn casually tossed it and the action plan to Ivital.
"This is..." Ivital murmured, his emerald eyes gradually brightening as he read the words.
He truly deserves to be called a prophet.
This is also the vision that Ivital wants to see.
Lynn put down his charcoal pencil and gazed at the distant horizon.
He remembered clearly that in about two months, due to the awakening of the Crescent Moon Goddess, the entire continent of Galantir would witness the rare spectacle of two moons in the sky at the same time.
Speaking of this, we must mention the far-reaching "Eastern Expedition of the Seven Churches" from the previous century.
amount.
Because the Church of the Seven Gods does not have a "Son of God".
The Water Blue Goddess, Lia, has passed away, and the Shadow Goddess, Freya, is her enemy.
and so.
In terms of high-end combat power, the Church of the Seven Gods was severely suppressed by the Crescent Moon Sect.
During the Eastern Expedition, the allied forces of the Seven Gods Church suffered a crushing defeat.
Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but they also completely lost the land route to the continent of Becayate.
This defeat shook the absolute authority of the Church of the Seven Gods in the human kingdoms and indirectly led to the birth of the Crescent Empire, which was dominated by the Crescent Cult and comprised multiple kingdoms.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
For Lynn now, the simultaneous appearance of two moons is a prophetic moment that cannot be missed.
"Ivital".
"Let our druids and rangers, and our allies, spread this maxim throughout the Han River Basin."
"Let the winds of nature, the whispers of the forest, and the chants of all things sing this proverb, and let it spread among farmers, artisans, merchants, and even... those commoners who are dissatisfied with heavy taxes."
Lynn turned his head and looked at the focused elven scholar.
He paused, then added, "The focus is on 'hunger' and 'abundance,' let them use their imaginations to desire."
Ivital nodded solemnly: "I assure you, Prophet, I will not fail in my mission."
"Also, this is for you."
Lynn took out a roll of papermaking process drawings that he had prepared long ago from his bag and handed it to Ivital.
Ivital unfolded the parchment, which detailed the entire process of making thin, flat paper using plant fibers such as bark, hemp, and rags, through steps such as soaking, steaming, pulping, papermaking, and drying.
The illustrations are clear, the steps are distinct, and even the precautions and possible material substitutes for each step are marked.
"This, this is..." Ivital's breathing quickened instantly, and her hands holding the parchment trembled slightly.
As a scholar, she was all too aware of how important the medium for recording knowledge is.
Thick mud tablets, expensive sheepskin, rough and brittle bark tablets... each has its limitations.
The paper produced by this method appears thin, flexible, easy to write on and carry. If it can be popularized, it will be revolutionary for the dissemination and preservation of knowledge!
She looked up at Lynn, her eyes shining with an almost worshipful light: "Prophet! This...this is so great!"
"This will free knowledge from heavy burdens and greatly reduce the cost of disseminating wisdom!"
"I...I..."
Are you going to repay me with your body?
girl?
These are just basic skills of mine.
Lynn was very satisfied with Ivital's reaction.
As expected, entrusting papermaking to knowledge-conscious elven scholars yielded the highest emotional value.
"Alright, alright, Ivital."
"The specifics of how to organize manpower, which materials to choose, and how to improve the process to increase efficiency are all up to you."
"I believe you can do it!"
Lynn smiled and waved, giving her a trusting look.
This feeling of being entrusted with important matters and being trusted.
This inspired Ivital to believe that he would die for someone who understood him. Clutching the parchment tightly, Ivital nodded vigorously: "I will not fail the Prophet's trust!"
Watching Ivital's back as he prepared to make a big splash, as if shouldering a sacred mission, Lynn stretched comfortably.
Being a hands-off manager is so great!
Next stop, the Kobold tribe.
Before even entering the kobold settlement, Lynn heard the familiar smell of smoke and the faint clanging of metal.
The once rudimentary campsite has undergone a complete transformation.
Around the two small blast furnaces, each about two people high, a small artisan area has been formed, which is already taking shape.
The blast furnace was billowing hot air, and the dog-headed craftsmen, wearing simple heat-insulating leather aprons, were busy adding fuel, observing the fire color, and operating the bellows.
Following the principles previously taught by Lynn, they added hematite, coke, and limestone in proportion from the top of the furnace, while air was blown in from the bottom.
The high temperature and carbon monoxide produced by the combustion of coke continuously reduce the iron oxide in the ore into liquid pig iron, which is deposited at the bottom of the hearth and periodically released from the tap hole.
"One furnace can produce about two hundred kilograms of pig iron, and a blast furnace can operate about ten furnaces a day." Dogg's voice rang out from the side, filled with barely suppressed pride.
Dog has become much more composed now.
He changed his priest's robes into a long robe embroidered with simple runes, and held a staff inlaid with a goblin's head.
The open space behind him.
About two hundred kobold warriors stood in neat rows, wearing half-body scale armor forged by minotaur blacksmiths and carrying uniformly styled spears or swords and shields.
Behind them was a 100-man kobold fire mage squad.
Although their individual strength was mostly at the beginner to intermediate level, their ranks were orderly, and their eyes revealed a fanatical faith.
These are the kobold temple guards trained by Dog.
They all practiced the breathing and meditation techniques taught by Lynn.
Lynn glanced at it and nodded slightly.
Dog's aura was also much stronger than before. It seemed that the victory of the Holy War and the gathering of a large amount of faith power had enabled him to successfully advance to the intermediate priest level, and his realm was stable with a faint tendency to break through to the advanced level.
"My Lord God!" Dog stepped forward and bowed very respectfully.
Although Lynn did not intend to use the steel to forge equipment.
However, seeing Dogg's eager eyes, Lynn decided to give the kobold high priest a proper compliment.
Lynn smiled and patted Dogg on the shoulder: "Well done, Dogg."
"I am very pleased that you have not only united the tribes, but also established order and armed forces."
He received praise from Lynn.
Dog's eyes lit up, and his tail wagged wildly, showing his joy.
However, he still excitedly said, "This is all thanks to the great leader of the gods."
What else can be said?
That was a good rescue by Dogg.
Dog was absolutely right to save her.
Lynn did not intend to use the smelted pig iron ingots to make equipment.
After all, this is a world beyond the ordinary.
Lynn wanted to ignite the spark of the Industrial Revolution.
Steam engines, generators, railways... these are the forces that truly revolutionized productivity and reshaped the world.
Of course, the main purpose is to make Lynn's life more enjoyable.
They've all come to another world, to save it and all that.
There's nothing like enjoying life there.
Unfortunately, the relevant detailed technology forums are not yet available.
However, Lynn did understand the principles behind some applications that could immediately improve productivity.
"Dog, take me to see the mine."
"yes!"
The mine is located at the foot of the mountain not far from the settlement, where the kobolds mine hematite and a small amount of coal.
The transportation of ore relied mainly on baskets and rudimentary trailers, which was inefficient and made the roads muddy due to frequent transport.
Lynn observed for a moment and made up his mind.
He gestured for Dogg to clear a space, then raised his hands.
Golden Magic – [Shaping]
Wood Magic - [Construction]
Under Lynn's skillful manipulation, the iron ingots and wood began to decompose and recombine.
In less than fifteen minutes, a track template about ten meters long and a mine car with four iron wheels and a wooden bucket appeared on the open ground.
The mine car is designed to carry a load of approximately 800 kilograms.
The kobolds around them, including Dog, were all dumbfounded.
Lynn then explained in detail the key points of track laying (leveling the roadbed, fixing the sleepers, connecting the rails), the manufacture and maintenance of mine cars, and how to organize circular transportation.
These guys are all idiots.
But Dog is still reliable and smart.
Dog listened intently, asking questions from time to time, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
Finally, with Lynn's explanation and hands-on demonstration, Dogg learned how to make a railcar and lay tracks.
Having a reliable subordinate is just awesome.
After leaving Fat Card here to help with iron smelting.
Thinking that Vera, the little foodie, wouldn't be able to find Lynn here anytime soon.
He leisurely picked up his fishing rod, ready to go to the Han River to catch a few fish.
The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.
It's the perfect time for fishing.
Today, we will surely return with a full harvest.
