Evil will not deceive you

"It's really possible..."

Yawning, Li Ke sat back on his chair, and in front of him was a magic version of a hydraulic press.

The principle is very simple, that is, install a magic circle that summons the water element on the switch, and then install a magic circle that repatriates the water element on the other end.

When it is necessary to increase the hydraulic strength, just continuously summon the water element. The more arcane power is injected, the more water sources will be summoned.

And when you need to reduce the pressure, it is even simpler, that is, inject power into the magic circle that repatriates the water element, and then the liquid in the hydraulic press will decrease and the pressure will disappear.

It's very simple. Even to a certain extent, the upper limit of the output of this hydraulic press is almost unlimited, because the place where the water element is summoned is the water element world, not the real world. The entire world is filled with water elements, and the pressure can Just imagine.

But if Li Ke didn't lack ball valves and various rubber products, he would never use this.

"It's too expensive. Just two arcane crystals are needed. It's really terrible."

Li Ke looked at the cost of this trial machine and sighed helplessly.

The engraving of the permanent magic circle, as well as the arcane crystal that stores energy.

"In fact, if a mage controls this machine, it will save a lot, and there will be no need to use arcane crystals."

Wald ran the hydraulic press again and watched as he pressed the mold made by two people on a steel plate, pressing the steel plate into the shape of a breastplate. He nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to Li Ke's At the table, I picked up the next design drawing.

This design drawing shows a sowing machine, which is also a beggar's version, but it is still more convenient and cheaper than the one made by dwarfs.

Because although this is still a beggar's version due to the engine, it is much more reasonable. It is not like a dwarf using a mechanical arm to make a seeding machine.

"Where can I find so many mages?"

Li Ke shook his head speechlessly. Mages are rare things, and the spell to summon the water element seems to be bad, but in fact it is not.

A mage who can summon the water element is an official mage after all. It is not difficult to find someone who can easily do a job elsewhere, so how can he be a low-level worker.

"I thought you could place an order with the dwarf or something."

Walder spoke.

"We are unable to manufacture energy circuits, wires, and many chemical machines. Master Li Ke, my knowledge is also limited."

He put down the sowing machine and sighed helplessly.

"At the very least, my men know what is needed to make the chemical elements required for pesticides and the fertilizers you mentioned, but we do not have the machinery and technology here to extract them, and I am not very good at it. Understand."

Walder looked at Li Ke helplessly.

"All right……"

Li Ke sighed.

"What do the dwarves lack? I try to establish business relations with them."

He felt that his brain was a little dizzy. Staying up late to make plate armor molds and hydraulic presses made him not in good spirits. The long period of mental work during this period made him feel like he was back in the era of the college entrance examination.

"Food, sir, especially this year, the price of food has risen again, and the dwarfs may not be doing well. But if you want to establish a caravan, I can take the lead when the time comes. I know many dwarfs. people."

food……

Li Ke glanced at the calendar on his side and nodded.

"Okay, I will take you with me then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Grayson came over with a pot of warm coffee and elegantly poured a cup for each of Li Ke and Walder.

Li Ke tasted the warm coffee and felt much better, and Grayson also started his report in due time.

"Master, the construction of the textile factory should be nearly completed today. As long as these textile machines made by dragons are moved in, we can start weaving. I have also sent people to purchase about ten tons of wool. In addition, it is not far from the tax town. There are only four days left for the official tax collection. Now many residents and convoys from other villages and towns have arrived here. Miss Hilonnas has already started her work... I have also ordered some people to renovate the previous warehouse. However, I think you still need to arrange for Mr. Lom Sanchi to send a hundred soldiers to deploy manpower outside the plain to ensure the safety of the villagers and townspeople camping here."

Grayson said as he placed today's report in front of Li Ke and gave a thoughtful reminder.

"But I suggest you go out of this manor and take a look at your factory and employee dormitories. They are some beautiful buildings that you should see."

After Grayson's reminder, Li Ke remembered that he had been staying in this manor all day during this period. When he woke up every day, he was either drawing design drawings, trying to make various machines with Wald, or socializing with other people. , I really haven’t seen the buildings built under my orders.

Moreover, if Grayson hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that people from other towns and villages were looking for a place to live when they came here.

To be honest, this is ridiculous, but since he has never managed a territory, it is really not unthinkable for him to forget this.

In addition, the grain warehouse needs to be renovated.

Without Grayson's reminder, Li Ke might not have thought of it until Lagertha reported it.

This is what the Caotai team is like.

"Oh... Thanks for the reminder, Grayson. Please remind me again when I wake up in the afternoon. Also arrange the accommodation for those people, clear out a few rooms in the manor, and arrange for the village chiefs, town mayors and the like to live there. There are toilets inside the manor, so dig a few more temporary toilets, I don’t want the town to turn into a cesspool.”

Li Ke let out a long sigh and began to give instructions.

"Ms. Lagertha has already taken care of the toilet matter, my master. In addition, she also convinced Ms. Jennifer. The two of them plan to apply to you during breakfast today to temporarily repair the road, and then let the masons Use cement to pave a road.”

Grayson answered Li Ke very thoughtfully, and his words also made Li Ke realize how many things he had ignored.

"Damn, I actually forgot about this. Also, how is Nefarian? And how are the new workers doing?"

"Mr. Nefarian left, but I don't know if he returned to his lair. But Miss Onyxia did not leave, but exchanged jewelry styles with Ms. Jennifer, as for the new workers. Oh, by the way, Miss Telesta is very angry and she plans to show you some color at breakfast."

Having said this, Grayson showed a smile, looked at Walder and spoke.

"As for those workers... I can only say that they are as dedicated as Mr. Walder. The details still require your observation and judgment."

"very good……"

Li Ke didn't pay attention to Miss Teresita, who was let go by him. Instead, he looked through the booklet. It said how many parts were produced yesterday, as well as some conflicts that occurred in the town. They were not big things. The only one was What needs to be noted is that someone has arrived at the tax town and has started to pay taxes, and how much tax has been paid, as well as a report from Silonas, which shows who may have paid less tax, and the verification personnel she sent. Where did it go.

"Send a copy of these to Jennifer later."

Li Ke rubbed his temples, looked at the calendar again, and then spoke to Grayson.

"Besides, please give extra meals to those nobles, lest anyone say I am inhumane."

after all……

It's time to hit the road.
