Struggle in the Steam Age

"This is the core store of the market, which is used to sell bulk products and semi-industrial products produced by our hydraulic workshops, such as a large number of farm tools and production tools." After nodding her head in affirmation, Nora introduced that Lawrence also bought from these stores At the door, I saw a series of bulk commodities such as large cut boards, iron ingots, and bronze ingots stacked in the store.

According to the previous plan of myself and Nora, the batch of factories directly set up by them belonged to the heavy industry in this world. Responsible for the manufacture of various production tools and raw materials, and those daily necessities and other things are handed over to ordinary jackals for production.

In this way, they can concentrate their limited power to accomplish great things. At the same time, those scattered small workshops and even self-employed can not only reduce the pressure on Lawrence and others, but also activate the market.

"If we have to smelt metal, saw wood, or even bake bread or make beer, then the materials we import won't be enough even if we multiply them by ten." Looking at the bustling market, Nora said, " This is fine now, after we provided enough tools and raw materials, these jackals broke out with 120% enthusiasm. I never imagined that they could comprehend the secrets of business and trade in such a short period of time. "

"They are less productive than us, and they are more like ancient people to us. But they are not much stupider than us." Lawrence said with a smile, "Before they seemed a little ignorant purely because of their low productivity. As for all their energy, they are completely exhausted after filling their stomachs, and they have no time to do other things."

"You know, although there is a little gap in intelligence among intelligent creatures, it's not as big as we imagined." Lawrence stared at the eyes of the little doll and said seriously. "We just need to give them a little fire and then try to prevent the mistakes they may make. They will naturally develop their own brilliant civilization without our intervention."

"——You're right, there are some problems I thought at the time." Nora smiled and said, she had argued with Lawrence because of this problem before, but Lawrence believed that guiding a civilization forward should definitely not be a nanny , but should be heuristic. In the end, Nora was successfully persuaded by Lawrence, and then guided the development of the jackals according to the results of the two people's discussions.

It now appears that Lawrence's approach is correct. At least the little jackal society in this astral plane can be regarded as being on the right path of development. At least now they have begun to develop something with their own characteristics, instead of copying the human civilization brought by Lawrence.

This is a very good thing, because if the civilization of the jackals completely copied human civilization, it would mean that this civilization would lose its future. But now, because of what Lawrence and the others chose before, the civilization that appeared in front of them is full of vitality.

Although this civilization is still very naive, even at a glance, it can be found that there are a lot of problems. But both Lawrence and Nora can see the vitality that can exist in this world. This also proves that Lawrence's previous arrangements are completely correct, and they can continue to follow this path in the future.

After a brief visit to the market, Lawrence and the others went around the small city again. In the city, the two discovered many new construction sites. It's clear that as the entire civilization develops, everything escalates. Even from the simplest food, clothing, housing and transportation, we can see the huge changes in this world since Lawrence and the others took over.

After walking around the city, the two walked to the front of the temple and dispelled the magic. He was then greeted inside by a group of temple workers dressed in undyed rough linen. Then we came to the two-story building made of rammed earth and wood behind the temple.

Because before, Nora had to come to this world two to three times a week to guide her work, so it was not convenient at all to be in the temple all day. So under her suggestion, these staff members chose to build a two-story small building dedicated to work in the courtyard behind the temple to handle various problems.

"Your Majesty, what are you here this time—?" After Lawrence and Nora were ushered into the office of the office building and sat down, a jackal with snow-white hair all over bowed and asked. "Is there anything we can do for you, we will do our best to give everything we have."

"I don't need your help for the time being." Nora said after flying to the small chair specially reserved for herself in the room. "We are here this time to deal with some personal issues, and now we are here just to let my brother take a look at the development of this place. After all, this place was discovered and built by us together."

"Ah, so that's the case." The jackal said after bowing slightly to Lawrence and the others with their arms folded. "Then we won't bother you, and you can come to us if you need help." Then he backed up a few steps out of the room, and left the building.

After the jackal left, Lawrence and the others began to deal with some things that had piled up before. Fortunately, there are not many things that these jackals need to send to Nala for final decision, and she would come here every few days to handle various affairs, so the accumulated work is not too much, and the two of them only spend It took half an hour for everything to be processed.

"Finally, the work is done." After the last document written on the papyrus was reviewed, Lawrence stood up and stretched, then turned to look at the little doll and asked. "Now I can finally open the box. Are you going to open the box containing the treasure here?"

"It's definitely not possible here." Nora shook her head and said. "We must find an absolutely safe place, and try to stay away from those jackals. Although the probability of an explosive being set in this box is very small, I think it is better to gather at a distance just in case Farther places are better."

"Uh, there is a small problem." Hearing this, Lawrence reached out his hand and asked, "What should we do if it really explodes? I don't think the magic I have mastered can stop the possible explosion inside."

"You don't have to worry about this." Nora said with a slight hook on the corner of her mouth. "Recently, I have mastered this space much better than before, and I have also mastered many new abilities. For example, now I can take you to all places in this space in an instant, so if it really explodes, I can also Keep you safe."

"It would be great if that's the case." Lawrence heaved a long sigh of relief, and then stretched out his hands to grab the hands of the little doll under Nora's gesture. In just the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of him changed from the not-so-large office just now to a vast expanse of yellow sand.

"Where is this place?" Looking at the surrounding yellow sand and vegetation in the distance, Lawrence lowered his head and asked the little doll. "I see that oasis by the river now, but I can confirm that I've never been here."

"You have never been here, of course, and I have never been here." Nora also looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "This is the plane geometric center point of the entire space, and it is also the place where I think the box is opened." The best place. But before that, I think some preparations should be made."

After speaking, the little puppet stretched out its hand and summoned a very rough clay pot. Then he commanded the silver-green liquid in the jar to fly out from the mouth of the jar like countless silk threads, and then surrounded the two people like silkworms weaving silk and weaving cocoons around them to form a cocoon.
