Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 141 The Destruction of the Charles Family

To put it another way, the production of steel will not only be a big problem in Osfil's development plan, but also a big problem for all countries in Rothschild's world.

Of course, this big problem only comes up when you start trying to do some kind of industrialization in this world from past lives.This problem doesn't exist if you're not trying to pave a large area with rails.

The root of the problem is that industrialization consumes a huge amount of resources.

Take Osfil as an example. When Theos had just conquered the hobgoblins and gnomes in the Rum Valley, the steel output that the mining area could provide at that time was about 12 pounds a year, equivalent to about 54 tons. small workshop.

It seems that this number is very small, but based on an average of 50 pounds for a set of armor, there are 2400 sets of armor a year, which seems quite a lot.

After Sios received the transformation, the Loum Valley became the Loum Industrial Zone, and blast furnaces were also used for ironmaking, greatly reducing the labor cost required for iron and steel smelting.According to the performance of the blast furnace, the current Osfil (mainly the Lum Industrial Zone) can produce about 2000 tons of steel a year, equivalent to about 440 million pounds.

If all the 440 million pounds were forged into armor, there would be more than 88000 sets!

The steel production with an annual output of nearly [-] sets of armor means that Osfil has a high degree of industrialization?

In fact, far from it, Osfil has not even touched the edge of industrialization.

First of all, steel production is not equivalent to the number of armor.This statement only applies when steel output is small.

Because the production capacity or production efficiency of the two was equal at that time, they could be compared.But now that the production of steel is increasing, it and armor are still two things after all. Osfil does not have so many craftsmen nor so many soldiers.

It seems that the current steel production has far exceeded Osfil's ability to use it, but it is not.

Because once Theos wanted to lay the rails, it was another matter.This point has been experimented in the Lumu Industrial Zone, where a request from Sios was made to experimentally lay some mine rails to improve mining efficiency.

And just that little bit of rails used up most of the annual output of Osfer Steel.

From the actual situation, about 150 tons of steel are needed to lay a one-kilometer single-track railway, and 300 tons if it is a double-track railway.In other words, all the steel produced by Osfil in a year is used to lay railways, and at most it can only repair 13 kilometers of single-track or 6 kilometers of double-track...

This is a far cry from Theos's plan to spread the railway across the entire Xilan Mountain.

Therefore, Theos's next goal is to increase Osfil's productivity and find a way to industrialize the territory.

At the beginning, Theos always thought that this process would not be difficult, or that human beings in the previous life were so weak that they could achieve it, so isn't it easier for him now?

However, this is not easy.

"It seems that we still have to find a way to make a fuss about the world itself." Theos thought.

Relying on the 200 million people under the rule of Osfer in the Xilan Mountains, if they want to achieve this goal according to the route of the previous life, not to mention the Arabian Nights, it can only be said that half the effort is half the effort.

That method relies on a complete set of scientific systems, and with the level of scientific knowledge in Rothschild's world... Theos feels that it will take at least a few hundred years, and everything must be cultivated from scratch, which is stupid.

So in the end, Theos still has to start with magic, which is the advantage of this world.

If it is magic, what should it be called?Magic industry?Magic technology?

Just as Theos was thinking wildly, Robbie below interrupted his thoughts.

"Master, regarding the newly taken halflings... after the south was unified, many people proposed to return to their hometown, what happened?" Robbie asked.

"They are willing to go back, let them go back." Theos shook his head.

Halflings have always settled down and relocated, if they had a choice, they would definitely not want to move.However, after the disaster, the hometown of some halflings has become a sad place, and there must be some people who don't want to go back.

"Those who are willing to stay in the north will be given land according to the original plan."

"Yes." Robbie agreed.

"Also." Theos suddenly thought of something.

"I came from south to north, and I saw that the land in the south seems to be more suitable for farming than in the north. In future planning, the south can be developed into an agricultural area first."

"Okay, you guys go first." Theos told everyone to retreat.

The development of the territory is not achieved in a day, and nothing can be done in a short time.Theos needs to be patient and sort out his thoughts, so that the development of his territory will not go astray after the breakthrough of Shenmian.

He took out a piece of paper from the table, and used the mage's hand to control the quill to write and stop writing on it.

In terms of agriculture, it still needs to be vigorously developed, at least it must be able to provide more consumption for a population of 500 million.This is actually not difficult to do, and it will be easy with the size of Xilan Mountain.

In terms of transportation, drawing maps and opening roads...it takes a lot of time.

The industry is even more difficult. The first thing Osfil needs to do is to integrate magic into production. This can be done by making a fuss about All Souls College and developing some magic technology.It's just that the current All Souls College is just getting started, and it can be said that it is still far behind.

In terms of urban construction, according to Theos's understanding, the north and south sides are centered on Melting Hammer City and Osfer City respectively, and can radiate outward.

……

Unknowingly, after half a day, a dozen plans had been slowly written on Theos' desk, and Theos breathed a sigh of relief when the last word was finished.

"That should be fine."

Controlling the mage's hand to bind the paper into a volume, Theos put it aside.

At the meeting the next day, Theos officially issued the plan, and the whole Osfil had a new goal.

At the same time, he also issued a new order - Lord Parade!
All the citizens of Osfir must gather at the designated place according to the area after fifteen days, and gather together in units of cities, towns, and villages, and must not run around.

That's right, the first thing Theos will do next is to inspect the territory.

Now that the north and the south are united and the Xilan Mountains are integrated into one body, Theos, as the leader, naturally wants the people in all territories to admire his majesty and great image!
Well, speaking of dragon words, Theos is ready to harvest a wave of blood points.

Although it is possible to break through, after all, the points have not been confiscated. No matter what, it must be safe to hold the points in your hands first.

Appointing a time and letting the citizens gather will undoubtedly greatly reduce the harvesting time of Sios.

Of course, in fact, he could let everyone take the initiative to look up to him, but this idea was dismissed after a little thought, and the kind Lord Theos decided not to trouble his people.

Sometimes, harvesting in person is also a pleasure.

After the notice was issued, the news spread throughout the entire Xilan Mountains much faster than ordinary government orders.

Not surprisingly, the entire Xilan Mountain was boiling!Among them, the north is the most.

In the Lumu Industrial Zone, when the management personnel just posted the notice, it quickly attracted a large group of people to gather together.

"What!? The lord is coming to visit us!?"

"It's not a guest, it's going to pass by here."

"Doesn't that mean that we can see the majestic figure of the lord?"

"Yes, this is a very rare opportunity."

"Then I'll have to wear my best clothes."

"You dirty miner, what nice clothes can you have?"

All kinds of discussions arose in various settlements in the mountains of Xilan Mountain, and the lord Xunyou undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's after-dinner conversation.

And while everyone was still preparing for that day, the outside of Xilan Mountain was also affected by the changes in the mountain.

The destruction of Molten Hammer City is like a stone being dropped on the water, and the splash will eventually spread to the entire lake.

In Rothschild Continent, it's winter time, and everyone is making final preparations for the winter.This was originally a quiet and deserted season, but now it has become lively with a series of explosive news.

Aslan, in a tavern in Franka, the alcoholics were all talking about the latest news, and shouting in shock from time to time while drinking.

The focus of all this is a young knight who is in the center of the bar and is being watched by them.

"These days are really not peaceful. The monsters are restless when winter comes. Who would have thought that Molten Hammer City would be besieged by monsters." A drunkard said.

"That's wrong. The one attacking Molten Hammer City in Xilan Mountain is not an ordinary monster, but an army from a monster kingdom." The young knight Jack took a sip of wine and corrected the alcoholic.

Everyone present knew that Jack was studying in the Noble Martial Arts Hall, and his elder brother even served in the Royal Guard, so there were often some good news.

"Monster Kingdom? Can those monsters also establish a kingdom now?" The drunkards were all surprised and couldn't figure out why.

In fact, this statement is not quite right, because Theos did not claim to be king and found a country, and the so-called monster kingdom is just a description.

"That kingdom is not easy to mess with. According to my brother, they have a name named Osfer, and they are led by a golden dragon."

"Golden Dragon!?"

Undoubtedly, as soon as the word Jinlong came out, it immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Yes, the golden dragon integrated the monsters in the mountain, and challenged the dwarves in Molten Hammer City." Jack added.

"I seem to have heard of this too!" In the corner, a silent drinking guest suddenly called out, attracting everyone's attention.

"My brother-in-law's cousin is doing business in the west of the kingdom. I heard from him that the merchants there seem to be able to trade with monsters directly from the Xilan Mountains. I didn't expect it to be true."

As soon as the words came out, there was another exclamation.

"I didn't expect even monsters to do business."

"What's so strange about that? Didn't the orcs eat raw meat and drink raw blood before? They were very barbaric?" A drunkard distanced himself from the orcs. Although it was inappropriate, he won a lot of approval.

In their view, humans, elves, and dwarves belonged to civilized races, followed by orcs, and goblins and kobolds belonged to monsters.But in fact, orcs used to be no different from monsters.

"Although those monsters can establish a country, it's probably not a cause for concern. I'm afraid it's too stupid to challenge the dwarves."

This is the point of view of most people. There are many things about monsters occupying mountains as kings. They have heard too much. The only thing worth paying attention to is the word "Golden Dragon".

"You can't say that." Jack shook his head as if he knew a lot.

"If they were really that simple, they wouldn't make the orcs so fearful. In the past few years, the orcs have entered the Xilan Mountains many times."

"Even the Ogg Empire..."

"What happened to the Ogg Empire?"

"You can't spread these words indiscriminately. I also heard it from my brother unintentionally." Jack seemed a little guilty.

But since he said so, surely he wouldn't just say half of it, because all big mouths are like that.

"A while ago, Earl Charles, the lord of the city of Mezro in the Auger Empire, was lured to the palace by Prince Louis, where he was tried and executed!"

"what!?"

As soon as this topic came out, the entire tavern exploded.This is undoubtedly more worthy of their attention than the golden dragon beating the dwarves.

For most ordinary citizens, things in foreign countries are really not worth caring about or seldom caring about.Only the Auger Empire, the top human nation, attracted their attention.

"It is said that the trial was for treason, and the Ogg royal family found evidence of their smuggling transactions with those monsters in Xilan Mountain."

"After obtaining the evidence, the royal family of Ogg summoned Earl Charles into the palace, tried his crimes at a very fast speed, and finally executed him."

"As for Mezro City, I heard that the royal family sent troops to investigate and control it."

Jack's words aroused heated discussions in the tavern.

"Did he be executed for this reason?"

"What do you mean just for this reason? This is treason! Smuggling and dealing with monsters should be executed."

"Hehe, I think it's clearly the Ogg royal family's reason to clean up the Charles family!"

While the drinking crowd in the tavern was arguing endlessly, the object of their discussion was currently on a journey of escape.

……

On the border of the Auger Empire, a group of people is fleeing quickly.

Looking carefully, this is a team composed of hundreds of cavalry, surrounded by a row of more than a dozen carriages.

"Alan, can we really go there?"

On the bright carriage in the middle, a young man in gorgeous silk asked the young man beside him.

"Master, we have no choice." Allen was ashamed at the moment, and his aristocratic clothes were stained with blood and dust.

He looked through the car window at the cavalry who were galloping outside, his face also full of worry.

The Ogg royal family moved very quickly, and they only had time to escape these people in their haste.

Fortunately, Earl Charles had a premonition and made preparations before he left, so they and the young master could survive.

"However, the young master can trust me, going there is by no means a bad decision." Alan affirmed.

The reason why they can escape the pursuit of the empire, in the final analysis, is because they are prepared.And Mezro City itself is the barrier of the border of the Auger Empire, and they are also the border guards, so they can escape.

But just like a golden coin has two sides, borders also have bad borders.That is they have almost nowhere to go but the wild.

And the kingdom of Aslan in the south...

"Although the Kingdom of Aslan has the intention to challenge Ogg, it will not openly provoke it right now. They won't let us enter the country. It's too obvious." Allen expressed his concern.
