Chapter 51 Ore in Place

The second team left in Tanzania finally arrived.

This is undoubtedly good news for Gao Wen.

At least it means more manpower, it means he can build the dock and sawmill, it means he can consider officially mining the mines in the east, and it means he can make this camp develop towards "territory" .

Although with the addition of the follow-up second team, the Pioneering Leader had a population of just over 800, but compared to the vanguard with only 100 people, this was already a remarkable improvement.

Knight Philip led a few soldiers and more than a dozen militiamen who stayed in Tanzania to complete the escort mission. The young and promising knight received a warm welcome from Hetty. The arrival of him and his soldiers can be said to make up for it. In addition to manpower, the camp has a bigger shortcoming, that is, its defensive strength.

Although I haven't seen anything like monsters yet, living in a wasteland will increase the people's sense of insecurity. Those fences and magic traps can only alleviate this insecurity, and only those who are really armed to patrol around Soldiers can make people feel completely at ease.

As for Philip Knight, he was even more shocked by the scale and perfection of this camp.

Has it been leveled out to such a large extent? The carpenter's shed has been built? Are they even building a blacksmith shop? !

The young knight walked into the camp almost in a daze, and stared blankly at the large, sturdy and beautiful large tents and a few wooden houses that had been built around. He also saw those serfs and freemen who were busy in the clearing, the latter were busy making planks of wood that had been basically dried and smoked, and further processing these planks into various utensils and building materials, It was the first time he had seen this kind of labor scene: the laborers who usually needed to be beaten with a whip to work would work in groups of several. Let these people do one thing together and they will only cover each other for being lazy, then the current situation is diametrically opposite.

And what about the overseer who was supposed to be standing beside him with a whip?

Philip looked around, only to find that the foreman - in fact, a selected family warrior who could write a few words more - was standing on the edge of the open space, but they were just walking around to check the completion status of the various places. What he was holding in his hand was not a whip, but a wooden board used to keep records.

"Doesn't it feel amazing?" Heidi's voice woke the young knight from his stupor, "I didn't expect those simple measures to make them so diligent, and even the serfs began to actively learn how to do them. Not good at work."

"Measures?" Knight Philip repeated the word in surprise,

"What measures?"

"Ancestors conceived a set of rules for work..."

Knight Philip didn't wait for Hetty to finish, then his eyes lit up: "Ah, that must have used the honor and virtue of ancient knights to influence these serfs and commoners who are usually lazy..."

"No, it's for them to eat meat," Hetty smiled with slightly curved eyes. "It's a very simple truth. If you work a lot, you will only eat meat."

As she said this, she was sighing in her heart: using rewards to stimulate work efficiency, she had tried this simple and simple method, but it usually only worked at the beginning, those serfs were very Soon you will find all kinds of ways to be lazy and cheat food to continue to be lazy, but when direct competition, precise calculation, strict execution and the so-called "team concept" are added to this method, everything turns out. It's really incredible to be so different.

She also knew for the first time that serfs and commoners were not born dull and lazy.

At this time, Gawain's figure appeared not far away.

Hetty and Philip immediately went up to them, Gawain waved his hand to interrupt their salute, he first nodded to Hetty, then looked at the young knight: "Thank you for your hard work, you have done a good job, there are quite a few of them— -Let the soldiers and the people rest for a while. After lunch, all the laborers will go to the open space in the middle of the camp to gather. Hetty will tell them the working rules here. The soldiers, including the militia, go to the west of the camp to gather, and the Knights of Byron will come down Send some new equipment."

Then he looked at Hetty: "Newcomers don't need to be divided into working groups on their first day. There are too many new rules and they can't remember them all at once."

Heidi nodded in response, while Knight Philip was a little puzzled: "New equipment? What new equipment?"

Gawain looked at the other party with a mysterious smile: "It's definitely a good thing."

After actually seeing those new equipment, Philip Knight had to be amazed - his previous expectations for "good things" were still too low.

I thought it was just a batch of brand-new swords and armors at most. If they died, everyone could be issued a hand crossbow, but who would have thought that it turned out to be a complete set of "extraordinary weapons"? !

Enchanted swords, enchanted armor, and military crystals from ancient empires!

Those long swords with "Sharpness Technique" flashed a cold white light, and the bust inscribed with "Elemental Defense Spell" and "Lightness Technique" floated a faint gray brilliance in the sunlight. The soldiers may have never seen what an enchanted weapon looks like in their entire lives, but they still realized for the first time what kind of concept they were wearing, so they were very excited.

What surprised Knight Philip even more was that even the militiamen had one set for each... Do these things cost no money?

"It's all an old antique, and the more you let it go, the worse it gets. There's no need to hide it, it's better to take it out and turn it into a fighting force," Gao Wen said with a smile, "To be honest, it could have been more— - But there are many that have been broken and can't be used, or the magic power has been seriously dissipated and turned into an empty shell, which is really distressing."

"Extraordinary armament... Each piece is of great value," Knight Philip stammered a little, "These things... I couldn't find a few sets of enchanted equipment in the entire Cecil Land before!"

Amber hugged his arms beside him: "Look at your rare and strange appearance - a seven-hundred-year-old man, isn't it strange that there is a little private money in the bottom of the box? Whose grandfather doesn't put a few silver coins under the bed board... hey hey It hurts!"

Gawain grabbed Amber's ear and dragged her aside, the latter shouted vigorously while showing his teeth and claws: "Let go! Let go! Haven't you heard that the ears of elves are super sensitive! You let go!"

How dare this elf's shame remember his half-blooded bloodline at this time?

And Knight Philip looked at Amber who was taken away, with a chest full of seriousness and pride: "Our family has believed in Kyle, the god of warriors and knights for generations, and never keeps our belongings under us!"

Gawain glanced at the young man with a little surprise, thinking that no wonder the other party adhered to the knight's creed so much, and even seemed too pedantic and rigid compared to his peers. The guy who even made up the prayers every time was really strong.

"With these things... even if you encounter the original 'distortion body', it will be a lot easier," Knight Philip was still sighing about the new equipment, and then suddenly said, "By the way, we can hand over the pattern to Tanzania Town. craftsmen, even if it’s a little more expensive…”

"There is no way to reproduce it," Gawain knew for a long time that Knight Philip would say so. In fact, the first thought of any normal soldier after seeing these pieces of equipment is probably to mass-produce these ancient treasures. The original Byron Knights are no exception, but unfortunately they are destined to get disappointing answers, "These things are based on the magic technology of the ancient Gondor Empire on the one hand, and on the other hand, they need to use purified magic power from the Deep Blue Well for charging. ——The magic power produced by the modern magic focus or magic well is too complex and the energy level is too low to drive these things at all."

Knight Philip opened his mouth and immediately realized what it meant: "That is, these things..."

"With one piece less, even as long as the magic power is exhausted, it will become an ordinary sword and armor because it cannot be recharged. Since their material main body has been corroded to varying degrees, I am afraid that at that time, it will be better than contemporary The ordinary equipment is not as good as it is, so I can only go back to the furnace and retrain.”

The young knight looked worried: "What shall we do then?"

"Before that, it's enough to create our own good equipment." Gawain patted the other person's shoulder with a smile, with a confident expression on his face.

Regardless of whether his heart is false or not, he must smile like a Kamen Rider who has captured the future, not to mention that Gao Wen really has a little bit of confidence in his heart.

As long as the magic tide does not break out on the spot, there is room for action.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a small figure running towards him.

The little maid Betty ran over again, ran in front of Gawain and raised her head, stunned: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you!"

Gao Wen was stunned: "What's the matter with her?"

Betty thought about it carefully and said loudly: "Forget it!"

Gao Wen: "..."

How could this girl forget everything except cooking?

Gawain shook his head, thinking that it would be good for this little girl to remember who to call, so he didn't ask for it, and then he asked where Rebecca was, and went with Amber—so at least Betty didn't forget it. Where is Rebecca waiting...

He didn't know what Rebecca called him until he got there...

The first ore for testing properties was brought in from the iron mine east of the camp.

The first advance team included a blacksmith and several apprentices, as well as the basic materials needed to build a blacksmith shop, but at the beginning of the camp construction, the most important thing was to ensure survival, so Gawain also slowed down the eastern mines. The mining plan, until the housing problem of the advance team was solved, he sent someone to the east to collect some ore for verification. These people started in the morning, and at this time they finally returned to the camp with some selected ores.
