Starting from blacksmithing, riding and chopping Europe

Chapter 33 A Believer's Day

Luleå Bay.

The once sparkling sea is now covered with layers of solid ice. It is hard to tell where is ice and where is snow, and it is all white.

Thousands of miles of coast condensed into ice, and the reefs on the shore were sealed in sea ice, as if even the waves were frozen.

Looking from a distance in the early morning, a red sun slowly rises from the white ice lines in the sea. The ice sea reflects the glow, adding a bit of warmth and tenderness.

Until a battle cry broke the beautiful scenery: "Ulla!"

"Wake up la la la la!"

The voices of the foremen kicked off the day of Parish No. [-].

In groups of ten, hundreds of believers emerge from the tents.

They stepped on the rays of light and began to perform purification rituals according to the rules of Ao Cult.

The water pipes and fountain sets were laid overtime a few days ago.

The pottery pipes with earthen glaze on the inner and outer surfaces will not crack even in the cold winter.

With the operation of animal power, the water level difference is used to generate potential energy, driving the water to flow under a certain pressure, and finally flows out from the fountain nozzle along the pottery pipe.

Believers lined up in order to receive water in front of 30 single-mouth fountains.

The foreman walked through, correcting the queue, and was also promoting: "As long as you spend the minimum 1 point in the church, you can become a level 0 believer, and you can buy tooth powder and soap for one person at a [-]% discount every day."

“It’s important to wash your face and brush your teeth!”

"Not only for the cleanliness of the body, but also for honoring the gods and driving away evil and sins!"

"Follow me, up, down, left, right, right!"

"Brush before meals and after meals!"

“Only the cleanest believers can be favored by God!”

"Believers who don't like to be clean will be punished with A points!"

Foremen still need to work like workers, just take the lead.

For the extra foreman's pay, everyone worked hard.

If you are not serious or act recklessly, you will be reported by the team members, and you will be severely punished if the verification is correct.

If the circumstances are particularly serious, they will fall into a dark and deep hell after death, and be played by demons all day long.

This kind of reward and punishment is in Parish No. [-] under the eyes of the saint, and no one dares to dereliction of duty.

The members of the organization group performed the cleansing ceremony one by one.

Worshipers rolled their thick fur mats to the first prayer square, hardened with the cement of the saints.

Having found their place, the thick fur pad is laid out.

The believers sat cross-legged on it and started the second thing: morning prayer.

"Holy One, you have been born as the Son of Man for ten years, so you know that we will still be weak and fall, please use your shepherd's loving staff to support us with your own hands and lead us forward."

"Although we don't know the path of tomorrow, we know that you are in charge of tomorrow and you hold my hand."

"We believe that you are our savior, we are willing to be your disciples, recognize Io as my heavenly father, and ask God to forgive all my sins before I believed in God, lead me, and remove all burdens and entanglements , gain food and joy.”

"Door A!"

The morning prayers of the Norse, the Norse and the Sami intertwined.

When they read to the end, they all changed their direction and looked at the 10-meter-high A-shaped church not far away. They devoutly eliminated all distracting thoughts, focused all their attention, and worshiped the god Io with a clean body. .

Stand upright, raise your hands, bow, kneel, and kowtow.

After the service, there is a 10-minute morning class time.

Facing the rising sun, the foreman will lead the exercises in front, and he will constantly change his posture accordingly.

Either lean forward, bend, alternate one leg and extend, or extend the back.

When the foreman found someone with a wrong posture, he loudly corrected it.

"When the saint crossed the Rainbow Bridge, he explored 72 sets of natural gestures of the unity of man and god."

"If you don't eat, you can't exercise. If you get tired quickly, you will die!"

“But natural posture doesn’t!”

"Starting from the simplest first set, it can gradually improve the body and mind, and finally achieve the unity of body and spirit, body and mind!"

"If you do well, if you can become an excellent morning prayer believer, you can get an extra piece of fish for dinner, and you can get 3 A points reward every month!"

"A total of 3 points! It can be exchanged for 3 silver coins! It is equivalent to a week's remuneration!"

"Are you excited? Take it seriously! Only in this way can you enjoy the benefit of a glass of milk for morning prayer!"

"There are rewards and penalties. If you don't do well, you will be punished with A points!"

The intensity is not high, the movements are not difficult, even the elderly can do it, and there is a reward and punishment system, so every believer will naturally practice seriously.

Some female believers are really unwell.

The female foreman in her group will not be embarrassed either.

Not only let them rest, say a word of gratitude to the saint, but also get herbal treatment.

After the female believer drank the medicinal soup, feeling the warmth rising from her lower abdomen, she said frantically from the bottom of her heart, "Thanks to the Holy One!"

For some specially marked believers who are suspected of being cursed by the demon of depression, the foreman will lead a group of people to provide extra care and try their best to help their brothers and sisters who are also petitioners.

At the end of the 10-minute morning class, everyone was breathing slightly, and the whistle for dinner also sounded.

The canteen is the second constructed building.

Dozens of groups lined up first, and the foreman repeatedly preached the rules.

"Don't look around when walking, don't look askance at people, and keep your nails short."

"When eating, don't wipe your mouth with your hands, use washed and boiled sackcloth, don't lick your fingers, don't gnaw bones with your teeth, don't eat too fast, chew and eat, so that you can keep the diarrhea devil away from you, and you can be more healthy." Healthy, aphrodisiac, whitening and smart.”

"Don't pick your teeth with a knife after eating, use a wooden toothpick, cover your mouth with your hands when picking your teeth, and don't sneeze or cough in public."

The nth time I talked about the regulations tirelessly.

When the employees and believers felt bored, the foremen changed their voices: "Now announce the new church news."

"The new fishing nets have been completed. After finishing the first working hour today, the first ice sea winter fishing ceremony will be held in the afternoon, and everyone must participate!"

"This has been said for a long time, and everyone is looking forward to it. Is it really possible to catch 10 tons of fish in one net?"

"I don't know how much 10 tons is, so I copied "The Saints Unify Weights and Measures" 10 times in the evening class as homework."

"The saint said that we should pay attention to reality and seek truth from facts, so I don't know whether it can be done. I will see it with my own eyes during the ice sea winter fishing ceremony."

After everything has been said, go in one by one in an orderly manner.

The waiting group would sing songs organized by the foreman.

Randomly select a person to step forward to command, let him feel the taste of a leader, and stimulate the desire to make progress.

They sang some folk songs of their own clan, but most of them were new songs taught to them by the saints.

Based on the perspective of better preaching and easier learning, the promoted Aiou language (simplified English) is very easy to learn, and those with strong learning ability can already read it, and the substandard voices echoed one by one.

"it's all because of you!"

Suddenly, a conflict erupted in a group of beating teams. It was a father who was beating his half-grown child.

He was about to be slapped, but he was stopped by the foreman: "The Saint stipulates that parents are not allowed to use violence against their children at will. Stop it!"

The father said angrily: "But it's because he was lazy that we got punished this time!"

"Oh?"

The foreman did not shield him unconditionally.

The saint said that children should be protected, but if some children are not worthy of protection and their crimes are serious, their status as minors should be revoked and they should be judged as adults.

The foreman asked the reason in detail.

The child covered his face and said aggrievedly: "I study too late at night, I, I am too sleepy."

After making sure it was correct, the foreman asked his father to apologize.

My father reluctantly mumbled and went to the cafeteria and said, "Come and eat."

This attitude made the foreman focus on him.

Some parents avoid talking about mistakes, always trying to make up for it by doing something else, so as to fool the past.

This is the attitude of the sage to criticize by name at the meeting.

The foreman thought for a while, found an opportunity, and whispered to the Sami child, "If you commit the crime again, tell me, and I will report it to the Valkyrie."

"The saint said that children who love to learn are the future of Io's teaching. Good boy, study hard."

As he spoke, he handed the child a handful of roasted pine nuts.

This handful of toasted pine nuts is still warm.

The child looked at him and then at the pine nuts. Still unable to resist the temptation, he whispered his thanks and took them.

The bright red and oily roasted pine nuts are peeled off and thrown into the mouth. The crispy aroma lingers on the lips and teeth, making people linger aftertaste for a long time, as if dispelling the pain on the face.

For this handful of roasted pine nuts, the child secretly decided to study harder.

……

After breakfast, take a rest, brush your teeth again, take care of housework, and then it's time to go to work.

Under the leadership of the foreman, they rushed to the work site along the road paved by the saint's cement.

Before going to work, first roll call, work and technical clarification, and then repeat the rules and regulations set by the saint again.

It is said that the rules and regulations are to prevent rice appreciation and hatred?Too complicated to understand.

In short, dividing people into groups, evaluating work effectiveness in groups, group reward and punishment systems and competition mechanisms, etc., are all new and complicated.

But they can all understand, because the sage has simplified it to a truth that even the most stupid people can understand: do more and get more, do less and get less!
Theoretically, those who do the least work can still eat [-]% to [-]% full, and have the heating benefits of the church, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

But there are so many products launched by the church, better A-brand soap, better A-brand tooth powder, more beautiful and warm fabrics, better iron tools. Even teeth can be filled!

If you have dental disease, you can owe money first, and then get the amalgam tooth filling invented by the saint.

Many clans have this trouble, and now they are much more relaxed.

Every once in a while, the church will distribute benefits to believers, and they can get many new products to try out.

After trying these good things, they arouse their desires, and no one will be lazy for a better life.

Even the famous gangster of the clan in the past, in order to enjoy better benefits and get more raisins after his death, he also let go of his laziness and worked hard.

The people who work are serious, and the work is efficient and easy because of animal power and mechanical engineering.

For example, the wood industry chain.

The logging team was armed with new tools and working at the cleared upstream logging site.

The logs are cut down with steel tools first, and then pre-processed by animal-drawn lathes into wooden planks. They are hung on a sleigh through a pulley block, and the reindeer drag them across the ice to the open and gentle industrial zone downstream.

The fine wood enters the drying room.

The bottom layer is elevated, and then stacked up one layer at a time. Several small wooden strips are placed between each layer of boards. Finally, a large board is placed on the top layer to hold it down, and several heavy objects are placed to hold down the entire stack of boards so that there is enough space between the boards. Space is provided to allow air to circulate, and the ends of the wood are sealed with wax before drying.

After being stacked in the kiln, today's rotation training church fighters will stand on the climbing machine.

"1, 2, 3, 4!"

"12, 34!"

They started training with a chant.

Manpower drives the fan in the drying room to rotate, and begins to circulate and ventilate in the drying kiln to achieve uniform drying and shorten the drying time of wood.

It used to take at least a year to dry naturally in the shade, but the soldiers took turns training to drive the wind, but now it only takes two or three months.

In addition to saving time, according to the saint, this training process is a perfect combination of two types of aerobic training for lower limbs + upper limbs, integrating explosive power, strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility, and core stability. No. 1 in a certain league has used it. Taco Tuesday.

It is a beautiful thing to be able to work while practicing physical fitness!

Although many words are hard to understand, these named "Happy Climbing Machines" by the saints can only be used by truly strong fighters!

Ordinary believers are not qualified to touch holy objects like this!

They practice proudly, they practice seriously!
Ordinary believers watched enviously, thinking about making more money, eating stronger themselves or letting children grow stronger, and then they would also be qualified to use the happy machine, and work hard to put the poor wood into the retort kiln.

Destructive distillation is carried out in stills and furnaces, with wood batched at the top and charcoal taken at the bottom, and gaseous and liquid products are also separated as a mixture of vapor and gas.

这过程大约产出32%~38%的木炭，45%~50%的液体产品，以及16.5%~18%的气体产品。

When the mixture cools, distillates such as pyrolignin acids and wood tars are obtained, which are sent to the church for processing.

Fractionation of wood tar can be processed into creosote, which produces black dye.

The black viscous residual liquid left after removing creosote can be processed into wood pitch and used as cement plasticizer, electrode raw material, adhesive for casting mold cores and carburizing agent for steel.

Pyroligninic acid can be processed into acetic acid, methanol and other products, and the latest popular vinegar on the shelves comes from this.

The bark is also a good thing. The liquid product obtained after the distillate is condensed can be used in the tanning industry. It has a strong penetration ability to leather, and has been bought out by believers who are part-time fur sidelines per capita, and the supply exceeds demand.

Some of the processed charcoal is sent to North Town for sale, some is sent to dormitories for central heating, and some is sent to the newly built rotary kiln.

Then batches of fired hollow red bricks were transported to the construction team on a wheelbarrow by transport workers like an assembly line, so as to speed up the construction of churches and brick buildings.

The whole parish was in full swing.

The working hours of child laborers have to be halved, and they will go to class after work.

The class is very relaxed and will not create a sense of heaviness and sensibility.

At the beginning, the students below sat upright like puppets, staring directly at the saint, and the air was filled with a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

Later, I felt that the efficiency was very low, so the saint started joking with the children in class to attract their interest in the textbook knowledge, and gradually became energetic and youthful.

"get out of class."

After one class, Feng Daofu said: "You know the ice sea winter fishing ceremony? Let's go and take you to see if you can catch 10 tons of fish in one net."

Along the way there are also adult workers who complete their hours.

Because the day time is too short, there is no lunch break, and they are moved to the night when it gets dark.

This time, it was specially gathered for the Ice Sea Winter Fishing Ceremony, and hundreds of believers gathered by the seaside curiously.

Feng Daofu, who personally presided over the ceremony, has already changed into a black waterproof warm clothing made of aquatic animal skin.

He wears a black wolfskin cloak, and the six Valkyries in full costume represent the three clans.

The three Mauro represent the Norse, the two female shamans represent the Sami, and the red-haired Norwegian princess represents the Norwegians.

Margaret watched strongly.

The Valkyries made offerings to the saint.

Feng Daofu placed the offerings on the altar in order, then picked up the wine bowl, raised his hands above his head: "Thank you for the supplies Io gave! Pray to the gods to give us those foods that are good for our bodies!"

After a short prayer, he poured wine and offerings into the ice cave, and then led everyone around three times.

After the ceremony, Vondorf donned hand-rubbed glass goggles.

The quality of this thing is extremely poor, but it is enough to open the eyes in the water body, and the rest depends on the +30% bonus of night vision.

After fastening the safety rope on his body and fastening the scuba, he drank a bowl of ale and went into the water through the hole in the ice.

Fish are temperature-changing animals. When the ambient temperature drops, their metabolism will slow down sharply. Some species will forage and hibernate in relatively warm water bottoms, and some will migrate to warmer waters in winter.

The main fish in the Baltic Sea are squid, cod, flounder, salmon, plaice, eel, smelt, whitefish, basa, freshwater perch, etc.

To catch these fish in winter, environmental conditions must be overcome in the Baltic Sea with an average depth of 55 meters.

This is no problem for Vondorf.

With warm clothes, ocean penalty -10% and cold winter penalty -30%, coupled with the water quality he had just learned through crossing, Feng Daofu quickly dived to the extreme depths and found a group of cod swimming at the bottom of the water.

Cod will migrate to the coastal mud bottom waters with a water depth of 50-80 meters in winter to survive the winter.

In the past, the Norse people had no way to deal with them, so each of them was fat and fat.

Master Feng watched his index finger move wildly.

Restraining the two negative traits of greed and gluttony, without disturbing the fish school, I swam for a while and had some new ideas.

"Go a little further inside to avoid hard ground, otherwise the netting will be easily damaged when towing."

"When dragging in the soft mud bottom area, the action can be bigger."

"You can throw the previously discarded fishing nets and wooden racks into the sea, and design them so that they float in the water, so that some algae can cling to them. If there are more algae, there will be more fish, which can gather fish resources."

After inspecting around, Feng Daofu caught the outlet and floated up.

"Hit the ice eye! Frame through the pole!"

The saint greeted, and the old fishermen got busy.

I was confused at first, but soon understood the principle. It was to control the direction of the fishing net under the ice.

There is nothing complicated about this thing. The principle is clear at a glance. Push the threading rod to each ice hole. When encountering a turning point, change the hook spear to correct the direction of the threading rod. This is twisting the spear to move the hook, which is equivalent to having a steering wheel to control the fishing net.

The underwater fishing net is very heavy, which requires reindeer and a winch. At intervals, the large thick rope and sash that fix the fishing net are pulled out of the ice hole and wrapped around the winch, and the reindeer pulls the winch around to provide power. .

With the advancement of the net under the ice, the large fishing net gradually unfolded, enclosing the cod shoal inside, and gathered towards the outlet of the net.

In Chagan Lake, this process takes about 5 hours.

It was the first time for Feng Daofu to host. In order to accumulate experience, the size of the fishing net was reduced, but because the personnel were not skilled, it took a full two to three hours.

Until it was almost dark, the wings were finally closed.

When the fishing net is pulled out little by little, the densely packed cod body is reflected by countless silver scales and reflects the setting sun, twinkling like a silver lamp.

Watching this scene, hundreds of believers were stunned, rubbing their eyes vigorously, their faces full of disbelief.

Suddenly someone shouted: "This is the gift of Io! It is the gift of the saint!"

"Thank you saint!"

They shouted loudly, and then worked frantically.

Wait for the cod school to fish in the ice lake.

Feng Daofu said: "There are at least a dozen tons of fish! You don't have to worry about starving in winter!"

"Just cast the net down and you will catch a lot of fish!"

"All believers who come today get an A and a fish!"

do as promised.

Feng Daofu organized the distribution of money and fish on the spot.

Fish was fresh frozen cod.

The money is not long ago, relying on animal-powered machinery, using the technology of impregnated and pressed wood to make A cents.

On the front is the profile of a saint, and on the back is Io's A-shaped badge, which not only uses leftover materials to save costs to the greatest extent, but also has better anti-counterfeiting than iron coins-it cannot be forged without electrochemical technology and steel hanging.

Holding a fish, holding an A coin, and thinking about the luxurious life of having fish every day in the future, the believers grinned widely, and the ice sea was filled with a happy atmosphere.

For dinner at night, I actually ate fish until I was full!
The livestock also got delicious food processed from fish bone meal, stomped their feet happily after eating, and were not so repulsed by the cows and horses who are masters.

The beauty of life visible to the naked eye has made believers show a hundred times more pious attitude than before when they prayed at night: "Thank you saints for giving me food and clothing."

"Door A!"

Just when every household is grateful.

Feng Daofu quietly sent away the first secret agent of the church, code-named Chuanshanbeidi Fox.

"This trip uses rabbits as a signal. Killing one rabbit represents 1, and killing two rabbits in a row represents 2."

When you join a team, you can check the experience points obtained by your subordinates. Rabbits are the lowest experience unit, and if you have 1 or 2, you can form a telegram code!

The name of this method is: Transcending the Rabbit Telegram Method!

Shushu regretfully missed the opportunity to make great contributions.

Originally, I had already thought of the excellent name of "Shushu, I am so happy to die from the telegraph", but unfortunately I can only talk about it next time.

Shushu:?
After a few more instructions, watching Willy operate the ice sail and leave, his back gradually disappearing in the evening wind, Feng Daofu suddenly thought of an article he had read on some.

The evolution of modern communication methods has changed the way of cognition of writers, making their thinking suspended outside of historical reality.

Today's plot plots often have plots in which the pros and cons fight against each other multiple times a day.

This kind of high-density information transmission and exchange is pure nonsense under the ancient communication conditions.

McLuhan once said that the environment changes people unconsciously.

The emergence of the Internet has made it possible for people all over the world to communicate instantly, and this change has naturally affected writers and is reflected in online novels.

Comparing today's online novels with Jin Yong's novels, you can see that in Jin Yong's era, even "The Deer and the Cauldron", which wrote the most conspiracies, was not as complex as today's conspiracy novels.

But in fact, the more complex the ancient strategy was, the higher the probability of errors in the intermediate design.

Even in modern times, in the 70s and 80s of Guo Dastanson's "Killer Elite", there were no mobile phones. The killer group made a plan, and 1 or 2 members carried it out, and the rest waited for news around the phone.

It won't be so fancy.

The more scheming a person is, the easier it is to fall into unexpected difficulties.

The reason why today's political strategies are complicated is that we live in a highly developed communication environment without knowing it.

It is believed that ancient people could communicate and transmit information and conduct remote control as conveniently as modern people.

But this is not possible.

In the history books, whoever loses loses his head, redundant design means more leaks, so a one-shot deal is the best - of course, there are efforts to differentiate before the one-shot, just like a hunter hunting prey, how to hide his killing intent , How to create opportunities, how to seize opportunities, if you don't make it, you're done, and if you make it, it's fatal.

In short, if the scheme is too complicated, it will be too difficult to implement, and the more people may be involved, the longer the time will be delayed. In this case, the possibility of leaking the secret midway is extremely high. Therefore, in real history, the kind of time-consuming and long-term planning There are very few successful schemes.

In the Nordic environment, it was enough for him and Willy to implement it.

Because it had been kept secret in advance, the identity of the first agent Pangolin Willy was unknown to the North nobles. This was the information gap that could be exploited.

"My adoptive father has helped me a lot, but who let you block my way. In order to keep the cake growing bigger, to ensure that there is no problem with the allocation of resources, and the rapid development of power, I can only act first."

Feng Daofu murmured in his heart.

In fact, he has never been very interested in tricks, and the feeling is the same as watching pornography.

Before entering the cave, it took a long time to grind and chirp. The pure water time was boring. I just fast forwarded and looked behind.

Also because of this, his Yin Yingming plan this time is also very simple.

Of course not about going fishing.

This is the way, but you have to take into account the previous kindness, Brunhilde, and the thoughts of the old people in North, so it is impossible to really harm Ethelnor.

His plan is to let his father-in-law be a happy charterer after he seizes power, and let his father-in-law come up on festivals to dance with the former Sami leader.

This is an oriental tradition, you have to taste it.

As for Willie's matter, even if they become a family in the future, they can still say: "My intentions are good, but the people below have misrepresented the scriptures."

Then we must not kill Willy. A good subordinate who is willing to take the blame. If he is accused of killing the donkey, how can the subordinates dare to continue to work hard? And with such a stain, it is equivalent to submitting a letter of surrender. Basically, he has nothing to do with him. It is a community of interests.

Relegation and promotion or three glasses of fine wine, and then make a big cake and lead everyone to make money, and you can fool it casually.

"This is the wisdom of our ancestors!"
