Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After sending Yalvette away, Zhou Xu returned to the tent and fell into deep thought about the alliance and the coalition.

He was mainly sorting out his thoughts at this moment.

It must be said that this wave of alliance with the female warrior clan allowed them to obtain a lot of useful information, and also verified many of his previous speculations.

There is no harmony within the coalition, and each force has its own thoughts, which is needless to say.

In addition, as an important part of their Great Zhou, Zhou Xu later learned from Yalvette about the status of the necromancer in the coalition.

There is no such thing as evil and justice in the truth itself, but people have ideas.

It must be said that many people do express rejection of this method of controlling skeletons.

After all, this may have an impact on their deceased relatives and friends. The bodies of their relatives and friends are used to make skeleton soldiers, which will undoubtedly make many people feel emotionally unacceptable.

Of course, even so, the necromancer is not a profession that everyone shouts and beats like a rat crossing the street in various forces, and there is no need to hide all day long and dare not show up.

After all, compared with ordinary people, they are strong. Even if they are ordinary mages, their status in a force is not something that ordinary people can touch.

Not to mention that in the long-term war with the greenskins, the skeleton soldiers that can be repeatedly pulled up can greatly reduce the casualties of their troops after forming a scale. A large number of commanders said it was really good after using it.

This has greatly improved the status of the necromancer in the army.

After that, the various forces even issued corresponding clauses specifically for this purpose, stating that the necromancer will mainly use the corpses of the enemy, and the corpses of their own people will be directly cremated after death unless they are voluntarily donated, and will not be used as skeleton soldiers.

The corresponding clauses actually exist in their Da Zhou.

In addition, Zhou Xu has been using skeleton soldiers to fight in the tribal period, and his own prestige is there, and the people of Da Zhou have long been accustomed to it.

The acceptance of the necromancer is much higher than that of the people of other forces. To put it bluntly, it is still a preconceived idea.

In any case, as long as the necromancer can be accepted, it will be fine, otherwise they will have to add a lot of trouble.

Up to this point, the things on the front line have basically come to an end.

Considering that there are still many things waiting for him to deal with in the rear, Zhou Xu obviously did not plan to stay on the front line for long. After explaining the matter to Li Ce and asking Bo Lewen to temporarily station the lizardman troops here just in case, Zhou Xu embarked on the return journey under the escort of the elf knights.

Compared with when he came, Zhou Xu's mood on the way back was undoubtedly much more relaxed and happy.

According to the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, they can have a peaceful life for two or three years.

In addition, more importantly, the appearance of the female warrior clan allows them to successfully avoid the dilemma of facing the enemy on this side of the border.

Even if there are green skins in the future, considering the geographical location, the female warrior clan will take the lead before them.

In other words, they can start construction boldly after this.

As long as the border fortress is built, the defense strength of their Great Zhou side of the border will rise sharply! Even if there is another war, there is no need to be as nervous as before.

Zhou Xu, who knew this, arranged this matter as soon as he returned to Black Moon City.

At this point in time, the greenskins fleeing across the border are probably not cleared up yet.

But it doesn't matter. The engineering team still needs time to finish the work at hand, do some preparations, and then set off for the northeastern border. It would be good if they can arrive in early summer.

This is the efficiency of this era, and even the efficiency of their Great Zhou side is already high.

This situation reminded Zhou Xu of the steam engine that was being developed and manufactured. I wonder how it is being made.

Because an entire engineering project needs to start from building a factory to manufacturing machine tools and producing usable parts, so far, most of the time has actually been invested in the preliminary preparations. The steam engine was officially started to be manufactured some time ago.

This is undoubtedly good news for Zhou Xu, and he has no doubts about Qin Fen's ability.

Long before, when they had no factory or machine tools, Qin Fen had already been able to build a steam engine. Although the steam engine lacked stability and could not be officially put into use, it is undeniable that he had actually built it.

Now that he has machine tools and factories, he basically has no possibility of failure in the project of manufacturing steam engines.

Zhou Xu, who knows this, has begun to think about whether to start laying rails first.

Needless to say, Zhou Xu plans to put the first steam engine officially produced in their Great Zhou into the manufacture of steam trains!

After checking the data with Qin Fen, the laying of rails can be carried out simultaneously.

Otherwise, if we wait until later to start laying, the entire efficiency will undoubtedly be too slow.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu has a clear idea of ​​where this railway should be laid, that is, the route connecting Black Moon City to the northeastern border!

For equipment like this, basically, military use must be ensured first, and then put into civilian use.

At present, due to environmental factors, only two borders in their Great Zhou need to lay railways.

One is the border of Xinbei District, and the other is the northeastern border.

There is no need to say much about the situation in Xinbei District. At this stage, it is more likely that war will break out on the northeastern border.

Considering this, at a critical moment, if they can have a steam train to travel...

Then, including Zhou Xu himself, the reinforcements in Black Moon City can reach the front line with a more amazing mobility efficiency! At the same time, it will greatly facilitate Zhou Xu's travel between the two places!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu turned around and called Qin Fen over, confirmed the size data of the rails with him, and asked him if there was anything he needed to pay special attention to.

In this regard, Qin Fen also contributed all his relevant knowledge without reservation.

If it were other things, he might not be very clear, but as an avid fan of steam engines and the steam age, he had studied most of the things related to these two.

In this process, the first railway bureau of their Great Zhou was also officially established!

At this stage, they are mainly learning relevant knowledge from Qin Fen, and will be responsible for the laying, management and daily maintenance of the railway in the future.

In short, a series of work related to steam locomotives basically falls on them.
