Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

It was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zong Shen had a lot of time to slowly check the harvest of the treasure box items. Thinking of this, he turned over his hands and took out a high-quality blueprint.

He unfolded the drawing and looked at its properties and architectural functions.

[Reservoir construction drawings (green)]

[Quality: Excellent (Green) Human Architecture]

[Requirements: Stone × 200, wood × 50, primary water rune × 1, primary element crystal × 3]

[Occupied area: 50 meters long × 50 meters wide × 1 meter deep]

[Sturdiness value: 1200]

[Building Armor: 20]

[Building magic resistance: 15]

[Able to store a certain amount of water and build a water circulation node in the territory]

[The built-in primary water rune can purify water quality to a certain extent, and one water rune needs to be replaced every 720 hours]

[This architectural drawing has no preconditions and can be reused for construction]

[Construction time: 2 hours and 22 minutes]

(Very good, the supporting water diversion buildings are now complete)

Zong Shen clapped his hands and thoroughly learned and mastered the drawing.

Speaking of the reservoir, the building may sound a bit unremarkable at first glance, but in fact, water is an essential resource for the daily development of the territory.

Water resources are also a resource, and they are also strategic resources.

Farmers and soldiers need drinking water every day.

In addition, the wargs under the more than a thousand wolf cavalry and the horses of the knights drink much more water every day than humans. This does not include the manticores, griffins and newly conquered ones in the territory. Bloodtusk wild boar herds all need a fixed supply of drinking water.

In addition to daily life, manufacturing and workshops also require water.

The ways to obtain water are divided into natural ways and magical ways, plus some water-based rare items and props.

Among them, natural means are the main way to obtain water resources.

And this [Reservoir Construction Drawing (Blue)] just meets the needs of the territory.

Build some more canals to connect the streams and canals in the northwest of the territory, and eventually merge into the reservoir.

This creates a water supply node within the territory.

Both reservoirs and canals can be constructed repeatedly, and the reservoirs also have a certain water purification effect.

"Practical level √, it would be better if we could get higher-level reservoir construction drawings."

"Now this is enough to make do with it."

Zong Shen evaluated it, and then took out the next drawing, which was also a new type of sophisticated drawing.

However, this thing does not belong to architecture, it should be regarded as a semi-finished product of construction.

[Floor reinforcement stone slab 2 manufacturing drawing (green)]

[Quality: Excellent grade]

[Requirements: Stone × 30, Iron × 3]

[Dimensions: 10 meters long × 3 meters wide × 20 centimeters thick]

[Sturdiness value: 500]

[Building Armor: 10]

[Building magic resistance: 5]

[Reinforced stone slabs can be laid on stone pavements to reinforce them]

[Multiple reinforced stone slabs can be stacked]

[Maximum number of stacks: 3]

[Production time: 15 minutes]

(The first choice material for hardened ground, suitable for hardened road paving in the territory, up to three reinforced stone slabs can be stacked to obtain additional solidity value and double resistance)

"Practical level √, let's learn it later."

Zong Shen poured himself a glass of wine and drank while checking the properties of the drawing.

After reading the detailed attribute information, he learned and mastered the drawing with a backhand shot.

The next sophisticated drawing was a pig pen, similar to the [Small Ranch Construction Drawing] he had obtained.

It also has practical value and can be used to quickly build a pigsty.

After the Bloodtusk wild boar breeds on a large scale, it is being used to corral those white-boarded wild boars.

At that time, we may have to introduce some domestic pigs to raise them and conduct cross-breeding.

As for the attributes, he didn't bother to look at them. After he learned them, he added them to the [Build] list. In the future, it was up to Mariel to decide whether to build or not and how much to build.

Next came the excellent-level drawings, and some of them interested him.

The first is a blue excellent-level manufacturing drawing, and the corresponding manufacturing item turns out to be a street lamp!

Although there are magic lighting equipment in the lord's fortress and various high-level buildings.

But elsewhere in the territory, including in the living areas, daily nighttime lighting remains primitive.

Indoors, grease candles are used, while outdoors, a simple and crude bonfire is made of wood.

Grease candles are not expensive, but they cannot hold up to the large number of stone houses and folk houses in the territory. You can only prepare one for each house, so everyone has to save some.

Now that street lamp manufacturing drawings have appeared, a safe and reliable light source may be available.

Anyway, no one rules that street lights cannot be placed in stone houses.

I don’t know if this thing is a self-light source or if it needs to consume magic energy.

With doubts and expectations in his heart, he took out the drawing from the storage compartment and looked at it.

[White Stone Street Lamp Manufacturing Diagram (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Requirements: Primary white stone (energy-draining magic crystal) × 2, iron × 25, primary magic crystal × 1, copper × 5, wood × 15, hemp rope × 3, mithril × 1]

[Manufacturing time: 1 hour and 42 minutes]

[Each primary magic crystal can light up the white stone for about 720 hours]

[Controllable lighting and extinguishing can be achieved by manually disassembling the magic crystal]

[Simple and easy-to-use white stone street lamps can provide better lighting than candles]

(White stone street lamps bring the light of freedom to the residents at night)

"It turns out that the magic crystal that has exhausted its energy is called a white stone!"

Zong Shen finally gained some knowledge and learned a little bit of knowledge.

The main material of this street lamp is white stone, and additional [Magic Crystal] is required for energy supply.

As for other materials, it's not surprising. There are many reserves in the territory.

We also have a lot of [Elementary Mana Crystals] in reserve, so there is no problem in assembling some street lights.

After all, each [Elementary Magic Crystal] can light up the [White Stone Street Lamp] for 720 hours.

Based on an average of 8 hours of lighting per night, it can be used for a full 90 days!

Zong Shen is quite satisfied with this service life.

The only weird manufacturing material was [white stone], and he wasn't sure whether it was available in the territory.

You still have to ask Mariel. Normally, the magic machinery in the territory should be replaced with [Magic Crystal] after use.

She is responsible for everything.

I don’t know if the [Shiraishi] I replaced is missing.

If that doesn't work, you can get some from the earliest [Goblin Airship (Purple)].

There should be [White Stone] in the energy cabin of that airship.

Thinking of this, he used the [Communication Crystal] to send a communication request to Mariel.

Explained the matter of [White Stone].

The communication was quickly disconnected, and Zong Shen learned the drawings.

He doesn't know the lighting effect of [White Stone Street Lamp (Blue)] yet.

But according to the notes in the strategy module, it should be much stronger than ordinary candles.

And as a street lamp, its lighting range is definitely not bad, otherwise it would be called "white stone wall lamp" or "white stone table lamp".

Speaking of this issue, Zong Shen had another idea.

He can ask the senior goblin mechanical engineer Iron Hand Barenque in the territory to analyze the lighting principles of [White Stone] and develop more [White Stone] lighting products.

Even if he didn't have blueprints and no lord's privileges, it didn't matter. He didn't intend to mass-produce them anyway.

As long as Tiezi manufactures some [White Stone] lighting products with clear functions and practicality to fill the vacancies in the territory, such as [White Stone Lighting Lamp] and [White Stone Searchlight] are good directions for transformation.

Zong Shen's mind was wide open and he decided to explain the situation when we gather tomorrow.

The next excellent blueprint is a wine cellar, and the construction cost is higher than that of a cellar of the same level.

The effect is to increase the storage life of the wine and slowly improve the taste and quality of the wine.

This is a drawing that can be built repeatedly. Let Mariel arrange to build a few of them when the time comes.

In addition to building a supporting wine cellar for the tavern in the future territory, he also built an additional one for his own use.

Zong Shen directly learned and mastered the [Medium-sized wine cellar construction diagram (blue)].

The next excellent drawing is a bit interesting, it is a relatively rare fortification type building.

He opened the drawing and looked at the drawing with complicated lines.

[Three-level reinforced trench construction drawings (blue)]

[Quality: Excellent (blue) defense building]

[Requirements: Dig a ditch of specified specifications, wood x 50, stone x 20, hemp rope x 5, primary earth rune x 1, primary magic crystal x 2]

[Gutter size: 30 meters long × 3 meters deep × 2.4 meters wide]

[The reinforced trench will be constructed on the basis of the trench, with the bottom slightly wider than the top. A wall 2.4 meters high and 3 meters wide will be built on the inside of the trench. Another trench will be dug inside the wall, half the size of the outer trench; another trench will be built inside the trench. Interior walls are half the size of exterior walls]

[The total length of the trench is 30 meters and is divided into 6 sections]

[Sturdiness value: 1500/5 meters/section]

[Building Armor Value: 20]

[Building magic resistance: 15]

[Passive effect: Trench (increases the damage of the defenders in the trench by 5%, reduces the damage from the enemy's long-range arrows/crossbows by 10%)

Earth recovery (can restore 1 point of solidity every 5 seconds. This effect will not take effect after the trench is completely destroyed)

Explosion resistance (has an additional 150 points of explosion damage resistance, and is immune to the effect of [explosion])]

[Building time: 3 hours and 21 minutes]

[The construction time does not include the excavation and preparation of the trench]

(Reinforced battlefield trenches can be equipped with wooden fences and straw sheds to build wartime positions.

It has a certain weakening effect on the enemy's long-range physical attacks and has excellent resistance to explosion damage. It can be built as an emergency bunker in all directions)

After reading the attributes, Zong Shen had a wry smile on his face.

It would have been better if this thing had appeared two days earlier. Even if it is urgently added now, it won't be able to cover much.

We can only add some caps in all directions according to the suggestions of the strategy module.

It should all be completed by evening.

Thinking of this, he quickly included the learning and mastering of drawings in the [Construction] list.

Then he took off the [Communication Crystal] on his chest and sent a communication request to Mariel.

Marier had always been very interested in Zong Shen's communications, and she quickly got through.

Zong Shen asked her to inspect the new building and mobilized farmers to dig trenches in four directions of the territory.

In each direction, we strive to build five or six [third-level reinforced trenches (blue)] before dawn.

There is no shortage of farmers in the territory now, enough to complete the last construction tasks today.

After Mariel took the order, both parties quickly hung up the communication crystal.

The last excellent-level drawing didn't have much to say. It was a manufacturing drawing for a magic chassis.

After you learn it, make a sample and let Ironhand Barenque ponder it.

Currently, the territory has the manufacturing drawings of [Magic Core] and the [Level 3 Magic Energy Crawler Chassis Manufacturing Drawing (Blue)]. As long as the manufacturing drawings of transmission parts and control parts are obtained, the territory can manufacture them. The magic crawler mecha.

This style of mecha is quite practical.

[Heavy Bearer Mecha (Blue)] and [Magic Drilling Machine (Purple)] are both crawler chassis.

At this point, all the excellent drawings have been viewed.

All that's left are the rare-level blueprints found in these [Silver Treasure Chests].

Needless to say, the first rare-level drawing is a [Fourth-level Watchtower Construction Drawing (Purple)].

Zong Shen is no stranger to watchtowers, and there are several of them in his territory.

The fourth-level watchtower has certain detection capabilities and can effectively counter the stealth and concealment magic that does not exceed the fourth level. It can also be used as a shooting point and the highest point to deploy crossbow shooters.

Zong Shen mastered it directly, and Mariel would soon discover it after including it in the [Building] list.

Moreover, this watchtower is a complete building with one drawing and one building. Each drawing can only build one watchtower of the corresponding level, and it cannot be built independently.

After mastering this drawing, Zong Shen took out the next drawing.

This architectural drawing is somewhat interesting. It is a brand-new building that he has never seen before. It seems to be an auxiliary building.

He took out the blueprint and stared at it carefully, checking its detailed properties and strategy notes.

[Construction diagram of the fourth-level magic charging tower (purple)]

[Quality: Rare (purple) magic building]

[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]

[Construction time: 19 minutes]

[Occupied area: 320 square meters]

[Height: 53 meters]

[Sturdiness value: 2500]

[Building Armor: 30]

[Building magic resistance: 35]

[Maximum magic reserve: 0/200000]

[Effect: Magic absorption (absorbs 1 point of escaped elemental magic every 3 seconds)

Magic feedback (any spell cast within a radius of 5 kilometers with the magic charging tower as the node will trigger the magic feedback effect, and 1% of the cost of casting will be included in the magic reserve)

Magic energy charging (the magic energy stored in the tower can be converted into magic energy at a multiple of 0.75 for specific magic energy mechanical functions, and can also provide magic supplements to friendly spellcasters within 5 kilometers around the tower at a transmission rate of 10 points per second)

Charging towers in parallel (two charging towers that are no more than ten kilometers apart can be connected in parallel. Charging towers connected in parallel will share magic power reserves, and there is no limit on the number of parallel connections)]

[The current blueprint can be used up to three times to build three fourth-level magic charging towers]
