Chapter 259 Phases and Production

Back in his office, Ji Lin sat on a chair and stretched his body. Everything went even better than he planned.

He originally thought it would take several months for the new cannon to come out, but this was much faster than he expected.

A product is developed, experimented, and tested countless times, and finally the required mass production template is obtained for mass production.

They can develop and produce on a small scale similar super-era military equipment.

But it lacks large-scale production capabilities.

The territory of 10,000 people is completely unable to support a relatively complete industrial system.

Even if he supplies the most basic guns and cannons, he still needs rune craftsman apprentices from the Engineering College to complete the manufacturing. Rune craftsmanship is an extremely critical part of the territory's production.

The number of rune craftsman apprentices is too small. There are only one hundred and thirty people in the entire territory.

One hundred and thirty apprentices of rune craftsmen who have just entered the industry and a college dean with extremely strong business ability as the production supervisor have squeezed productivity to the limit.

Steam Spiders, Aerial Ships, Rune Engraved Gun Barrels and Cannon Barrels.

The price of this forced leap from the colonial era to steam age technology is that they lack the entire steam age production system to ensure that they can complete production, and they can use another special technology to make up for the missing parts.

Maintaining the current industrial capacity limit of the territory's one hundred-man mixed rapid reaction force, judging from the current configuration, five hundred people are enough to maintain their large-scale air island garrison defense and area control.

Only aerial ships with 75mm ship-borne front-loading guns can truly possess air combat capital. They can set up a specialized airspace patrol team.

More people out of work will hinder the development of the territory.

Ji Lin passed the tip of his pen, thinking, and decided on the 5% conscription system. Young adults account for 90% of the total population in the territory. Among the remaining 10%, 7% are children under ten years old and 3% are older adults.

The proportion of real elderly people is very small, and the territory needs to consider too many aging issues for the time being.

At the fourth level of blood purification, it can directly increase the life span of all people. In the next era, he will have to take care of the aging of the people for a long time.

Compared with the 10% starting recruitment ratio of other lords during the period, he would rather release these 5% people to work in the territory... The territory has always been short of jobs.

Because there were too many people working in the agricultural area, some people were transferred to the fishing area to work in the fishery industry. Because these newly arrived refugees/immigrants are familiar with navigation, they are also responsible for taking care of seaweed farms offshore.

In the original fishing area, slave fishermen drove boats to distant waters to carry out fishing work.

Dried kelp is also a very delicious food. In addition, they also found that seaweed floated to the seaweed farm and took root in it. They said that after fixing the seaweed in the territory, they could drink delicious seaweed soup.

Looking at the newly delivered report from the territory, Ji Lin smiled.

Thanks to the surge in population, the food processing industry in the territory has also begun to gradually develop. Calculating the time, it should be the summer harvest and planting season now, and another batch of grain will enter the territory's food reserves.

The price of alcohol, a strategic material, can be quite high on the market today. Along with it, there is also purified sugar, which can be used both for daily use and as war materials, and the price of products has been rising all the way.

Reminds me of Lord Market...

놊Know whether the two lords who reached cooperation with me have successfully promoted to the fourth era.

Before these two lords attacked the fourth era, they provided Li Yan with various seeds of magical plants collected from the empty island. He had too many seeds, and the seeds were alive and well.

————

Seeing the dark clouds and enemy tide fading away in the distance, Li Yan was relieved. Fortunately, the boss of Sanyuemu reminded him to cultivate this technology tree by planting people and plants, and the other party provided seeds for him.

Use offensive plants to build a line of defense, which greatly reduces the casualties suffered by tree people.

The luckiest one is that there is a very special combat plant in the seeds provided by the other party. When the plant is fully grown, it will expand its inflorescences and shoot deadly spikes at nearby enemies, similar to a vine plant. This kind of vine that can shoot spikes can even achieve symbiosis with tree people, enhancing their combat capabilities.

This plant almost constitutes the main part of his defense line... But they know the tree people. If Li Yan passes through the tree armor, he will also be attacked by this deadly plant.

He let out a sigh of relief, finally getting through it... It's good to meet a noble person who is willing to help him, and his luck will always return.

Li Yan knew that the big boss of Sanyue Mu was able to get such a dangerous plant, and that there were also various magical plants that came with this plant. The other party could be the same as himself, the treant lord.

And as an ordinary human lord, he walked in front of everyone... very powerful.

His initial line about calling the boss "big brother" didn't make sense at all.

The other party is also willing to let me get through the difficulties and give these special plant seeds to me, which is enough to show that the other party trusts me.

"Is the wood ready to be collected? I want to collect some."

Li Yan looked at the ancient tree hero next to him who was still rooted, with a few more wounds on his body. The other party slightly turned the broad crown of the tree to respond to him.

"The trees in Linyuan Nursery are mature and ready for harvesting."

He thought about it and asked the ancient tree of wisdom to notify the tree caretakers of the nursery and botanical garden to start work.

"Collect some, I need it."

Then he turned around and opened the communication channel, and found the communication named March Wood.

Muzi Shanshi: 'Thank you for your help, I have successfully advanced to the fourth era. '

After speaking, he sent a batch of high-quality wood that had been collected directly to Ji Lin through the combination. Although this batch of wood has no special abilities, its toughness and hardness are excellent among ordinary woods, and it is a good material for making wooden trucks and boats.

This is the high-quality wood produced in Li Yan's territory.

Muzi Shanshi: 'If you still need it, I still have a lot of wood that can be sold at 80% of the market price, and can be directly exchanged with materials. '

No matter what the other party needs, he will definitely show this attitude.

If he cooperates with the other party, he will definitely suffer.

————

As for Fang Ai, Ji Lin threw all the equipment he had taken from other elf lords to her, and supported her to buy on credit first and pay later. Ji Lin believed in his own vision. They had fought side by side with him in the battlefield of the exercise, so there would be no problem with the character of Li Yan and Fang Ai.

If they move forward fast enough, Ji Lin can reach a mutually beneficial agreement and develop together.

If their character is bad, then it's really over... He will find people he has never met and confirmed to cooperate with.

Fang Ai still carefully takes care of the dragons and elves in the territory, so that they can live in harmony.

This batch of equipment can at least help the other party get through a difficult stage. Later, his territory's spells and runes will need the help of elves and dragons.

Ji Lin thought of asking Fang Ai to help him carve runes on mechanical devices. It can be seen that the number of rune craftsmen in the territory will be limited in the future. The dean can only teach about 250 people at a time and provide 130 rune craftsman apprentices for the territory every year.

If part of the rune drawing work can be handed over to Fang Ai, and he uses the people in the territory to complete the remaining work of rune writing, it can save a considerable amount of engineering.

Such division of labor and cooperation...

Perfect!

Although Fang Ai's progress is slow, he is also slowly entering the development track under Ji Lin's investment.

Or maybe he is really moving too fast.
