Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 108 The alchemist rubs the bearing with his hands
The sky covers the sky, and the setting sun is like blood.

In the barren wilderness, seven or eight different-looking monsters escorted a dozen camels and galloped, billowing up smoke and dust all over the sky.

After leaving the mountain, Mr. Xu finally rode a camel, and the female relatives were finally freed.

"Brother, why does this place become more and more desolate as we walk? You can't even see a human hair."

The speed of the camels was much slower. Carpenter Sun and Mr. Xu walked side by side, looking at the surrounding scenery and feeling really unsure.

Mr. Xu gave a bitter smile: "If there are people living there, will it be our turn? Because there are no people, there will be no competition from all parties. This is called a power vacuum."

"What is a vacuum?"

Mr. Xu heard these words from Er Falcon. He couldn't explain what the vacuum was, so he was about to talk nonsense. Two camels, one big and one small, were galloping toward them in the distance, very fast.

The camel in front actually had horns on its head, and its belly was covered with silver scales. Sitting on the camel's back was a black-faced man wearing a blue silk robe, with the hilt of a knife exposed from his back.

Both Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun are familiar with the handle of this knife. It seems that this man is the legendary Boss Chen.

"Not bad, this Boss Chen is really a strong man, he is much better than that surnamed Han."

Carpenter Sun said from the bottom of his heart that when you look at a man, you first look at his aura. As for the dark complexion, you can ignore it. After all, no one can become white even if he is exposed to the wind and sun in the desert.

This Boss Chen fits the image of a hero in his heart, tall, majestic, mighty and extraordinary.

There was a little bear man riding on a little camel behind. He was still far away and was ignored by them.

The camel team slowly stopped, and everyone looked at the macho man riding the demon camel opposite, especially the women. They had never seen such a majestic man in the town.

"Everyone, the journey has been difficult. Thank you for your hard work."

The demon camel stopped three meters away. Chen Yuansheng clasped his fists and said with a smile: "These two are Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun."

Mr. Xu hurriedly clasped his fists: "I don't dare, I don't dare! Lord Chen personally welcomes you. I am extremely honored. I am Xu Shounian."

"Lord?"

At this time, not only Chen Yuansheng was stunned, but also Carpenter Sun next to him. He originally wanted to call Chen Boss, but this guy looked younger than him, so it was not very appropriate to call him Boss.

The title lord is okay, it's almost the same as boss anyway.

Carpenter Sun also clasped his fists quickly: "I have met Lord Chen, I am Sun Youcai. Lord Chen can just call me Carpenter Sun."

"Okay! Everyone, let's talk as we walk."

In order to show his sincerity, Chen Yuansheng went out ten miles to greet him and also showed his respect for the talents.

Along the way, after simple greetings, Chen Yuansheng truthfully told the current situation of the territory and the tools that the territory is in urgent need of.

Through the conversation, Master Xu and Carpenter Sun could feel Chen Yuansheng's inner anxiety, and both expressed their intention to invest in the construction of the territory as soon as possible.

There is no place to live for the time being. A lot of adobe houses have been built in the territory, but most of them have not been capped because of the lack of wooden beams. In the past two days, a few big trees have been cut down from the mountains, but the big trees need to be peeled and dried. It is simple. processing and cannot be used directly.

In order to welcome the newcomers, Hu Ya led the people to cook a lot of animal meat and let them eat it.

Chen Yuansheng also ate with everyone and communicated with Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun.

"The bucket is very easy to make. Lord Chen asked a few people to help me and I can make it in a day. But for the cart, the wheels and axles need good quality wood, especially the axle, which must be made of pitch pine because the axle needs to be lubricated. , Pitch pine can secrete tree oil and is the best material for making axles."

Carpenter Sun was very satisfied with tonight's meal, and the territory was in urgent need of carpenters, so he felt his value because of his professional counterpart.

"Pitch pine is hard to find. If you use other wood to replace it, the axle will be useless in a short time. It's better not to bother."

Perhaps seeing Chen Yuansheng's entanglement in the firelight, Carpenter Sun hurriedly said: "Well, tomorrow I will go for a walk in the mountains. Maybe I can find a pitch pine tree."

"Don't look for it, there isn't one."

Hu Yan said from the side: "We all come from the mountains and are very familiar with the trees in this area. You said that we have heard of pitch pine. We have to go hundreds of miles north to find it."

Carpenter Sun curled his lips and said, "The sandalwood is also fine, as long as you apply some animal oil on it regularly, it will be the same."

Chen Yuansheng shook his head and looked at Master Xu next to him: "Master Xu, I have an idea, but I have to ask you, an alchemist, to help."

Mr. Xu was confused and thought, "How can I help? I don't know how to build a car."

Chen Yuansheng continued: "There is something called a bearing, which is specially used to make axles, but it must be made of iron. I will provide iron tools and beast soul crystals. How about you find a way to make them?"

"Lord Chen, I have never heard of using iron to make axles, but you can tell me first. As long as others can make it, I should be fine."

Now that he has immigrated here, Mr. Xu can also show his value. He has to accept the first task given by Boss Chen.

Chen Yuansheng asked someone to bring a torch over and use a wooden stick on the ground to explain the principles of cylindrical roller bearings in detail.

"Good guy, they are all round, this thing is not easy to adjust."

A young man watching said with emotion that it is difficult to make round objects out of iron these days.

Moreover, Chen Yuansheng needs very strict dimensions of cylinders and rings. The size of the cylinders must be exactly the same to ensure uniform stress.

There were several young people talking in the back, but Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun stared at the sketch on the ground, stunned for a long time.

These young people from the mountains have never seen much of the world. They only know how to work hard. They have never been exposed to these things and have never thought about the meaning of these things. They think that this so-called bearing already exists in the world.

On the contrary, Master Xu and Carpenter Sun became more and more frightened as they watched, especially Carpenter Sun, who came from a family of carpenters, but this kind of theory had never been heard of or seen before.

"It makes sense."

Carpenter Sun glanced at Mr. Xu: "If it can be made, it will definitely be much better than the sandalwood axle, but can this thing be made?"

Master Xu didn't speak, he took a breath in his heart, he thought it was Chen Yuansheng who was examining his strength: this guy is too bad, I'm a good alchemist, you don't let me make weapons, but you let me come here It's too insulting to make any kind of bearing.

Asking the alchemist to rub the bearings with his hands, Chen Yuansheng also felt that it was a bit overwhelming, and quickly added: "Master Xu, I blame me for being too impatient. Things like bearings require too many supporting equipment, and it is also a very complicated project. Let's take our time in the future." Come."

"You need to adapt to the environment in the past few days, and then build weapons for me and Huya first."

"No!" Mr. Xu became arrogant and waved his hand: "Lord Chen, although I have never seen this kind of thing, since you brought it up, it means that someone has made it before, so I still want to try it. We alchemists also have a heritage, and I cannot disgrace our heritage. But..."

Mr. Xu changed the topic: "Since Lord Chen said what equipment is needed to make this thing, do you have these?"

Chen Yuansheng actually already has preliminary ideas, which is nothing more than using the most primitive methods of turning, cutting and grinding.

So, he spent another half an hour describing his idea: first build a long cylinder, and then turn it with high-speed rotation. Of course, Mr. Xu also had to make the turning tool, so that the roller would have .

The same principle applies to the ring. The rough blank is first made, and then the inside and outside are processed by turning.

For lubrication, use animal oil instead, and for sealing, use animal skin.

As for the fixed frame inside, Chen Yuansheng hasn't figured out how to do it yet. After all, he is a liberal arts teacher and only knows a rough idea of ​​these things.

In this way, this is really a big supporting project. First, Carpenter Sun must build a hand-cranked wooden wheel. The principle is similar to that of a spinning wheel. The big wheel drives the small wheel to achieve high-speed rotation. Moreover, this thing must be very fast. Strong and sturdy.

Turning knives are relatively easy to handle. Although he is a low-level alchemist, the weapons crafted by Mr. Xu are definitely harder than high-carbon steel from another world.

"Take your time, this is really not something that can be built in a day or two."

Mr. Xu now gradually understands that Chen Yuansheng is not testing his strength, but actually has a set of effective methods and theories, and they all make sense. This is amazing.

Chen Yuansheng was also afraid that Mr. Xu would misunderstand his meaning, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is really no need to rush. Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun can just explore the kind of bearing I mentioned. We are not trying to make one or two, but to find out. An effective systematic method will facilitate mass production in the future.”

"Haha, okay! Then take your time."

Mr. Xu was in a much better mood. He twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Chen, I just thought you were testing my strength. It seems I misunderstood. However, your idea is really unheard of and unheard of. But Don't rush me, Carpenter Sun and I will slowly work it out over the next few days, and we will be able to figure it out sooner or later."

"No, of course I won't, it's just that I'm too impatient."

While everyone was joking, the gray bird flew over and landed next to it under the moonlight: "Boss Chen, the food is in good luck. Although it only weighs two thousand kilograms, it is the first trip after all, and the camel team has to adapt. The white falcon followed and led the way. , I will come back to report first."

Snapped!
Chen Yuansheng slapped his thigh: "Damn it, An Qi finally did something serious. If he dares to delay again, I'm going to Maple Leaf City to beat him up."

Gray Bird shook his head: "Boss, this matter was really not done by An Qi, but by the Lu family of Maple Leaf City. They also sent two experts to follow the whole process."

"Is there someone from the Lu family?"

After hearing the news, Chen Yuansheng was still very excited. He was not afraid of exposing his territory to the Lanyin Kingdom. After all, they were more than 3000 miles apart. There was no conflict of interest between the two, and the Lu family was huge. It would be inconvenient to buy something from them. At least they are really doing something.

The gray bird then told some of the things it knew exactly.

The Lu family did not buy grain from Maple Leaf City at all. They directly sent people to a small town more than 400 miles away from Maple Leaf City to buy two thousand kilograms of grain, and then hired a carriage with a lot of money to rush it to the edge of the desert.

With all the food in place, Lu Qingluan ran to An's house to find An Qi and asked who he was talking to over there.

As a result, An Qi was not at home, and Lu Qingluan and An Muyu lost their temper.

An Muyu had no choice but to send the blue-feathered sparrow at home to find An Qi.

It just so happened that the Gray Bird arrived at Anjia at this time. After learning the news, he flew back directly with Bai Falcon, mobilized fifteen camels, and set off immediately. The Lu family was afraid of the trouble of changing the food for the camels in the desert, so they specially sent two experts to complete the journey. follow.

As for the price of buying grain, the price of hiring a horse-drawn carriage, and the price of following a master, the Lu family didn't mention anything.

"This Taima is the one who does the work, that guy An Qi... ugh!"

Chen Yuansheng sighed. In fact, he couldn't blame An Qi completely. This kid had never done anything before, and it was unrealistic to grow up all at once. He hoped to mature slowly through this opportunity.

After Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun's family were settled, Chen Yuansheng returned to the adobe house, while Luo Xue went to Lingzhi Garden again. There was no one to talk to at night, so she could only fall asleep.

…………

Civilians【-394 days】

Because of the lack of wooden beams, many adobe houses could not be roofed, so the wells in Lingzhi Garden were dug.

As for the hidden secret room Luo Xue asked for, Chen Yuansheng chose to ignore it for the time being. During the day, you stay in the basement of the adobe house. At night, come out and talk to me. Isn't it good to adjust the atmosphere? Why should you be alone? , will become autistic over time.

Chen Yuansheng did not participate in digging the well. The few tauren and tiger-headed people who immigrated were so active that even Niu Qianshan and the others could not take their turn, so there was no need for Chen Yuansheng's efforts.

There are still 78 attribute points in the system, and Chen Yuansheng is studying how to use them to maximize the effect.

The best way at the moment is to advance the remaining two tiger-headed men and six tauren. He can also directly upgrade the beast master to level three, and he can train silver beasts.

But as the manager of the territory, rewards cannot be messed up like this. They just came to the territory, dug a few wells and advanced them. What do those monster beasts who work hard think?

But Chen Yuansheng was not idle either. He rode on the demon camel and brought several fast demon beasts such as Shadow Leopard, Shadow Little Leopard, Chi Wu, Demon Wolf, as well as a green camel and a little bear. Under the watchful eyes of several big birds, Next, start the initial sweep of the desert 150 miles away.

Clean up polluted plants and small-scale evil beasts.

Mosquito legs are also meat, so it’s not a small sum to accumulate.

There are relatively more polluting plants here. Chen Yuansheng even discovered third-level polluting plants. It seems that the desert is polluting very quickly.

Chen Yuansheng would use the extra heterogeneous points every day to treat the injured monsters and speed up their recovery. For example, the dragon lizard, whose broken leg can now move, at least running is no problem.

On the third day after Mr. Xu and others arrived, the second group of young immigrants from the mountains also arrived at the territory. The reason why it was slow was that these immigrants were not from the same village. Some were dozens of miles apart, and going around wasted time.

This group of young people are also all men, 27 people in total. Seeing that the territory is so primitive, these people have different mentality, but in the end they decided to stay and have a look, and wait until they can't hold on any longer.

As a result, the three batches of immigrants in the territory reached 112 people and began to take shape.

Civilians【-390 days】

Chen Yuansheng did not go out hunting today. An important reason is that the team transporting food from Maple Leaf City has bypassed Sand Dune City. At this speed, they will reach the territory in the afternoon, and Chen Yuansheng is ready to greet them personally.

In addition, with Luo Xue's efforts, the sweet potato seedlings are ready to be planted today. This is the first batch of food grown in the territory. Chen Yuansheng decided to participate.

Thirdly, his accumulated attribute points have reached 108, and he is planning to upgrade a batch of plants and monsters today.

(Thank you, brother 'I can't grow taller' for the 500-coin reward. I won't say anything more.)
