Chapter 196 46. I did mathematics in the Middle Ages.
Darkus stood on the open-air platform of the Black Tower of Malekith and looked down at Nagarond. He suddenly saw an empty fief, very close to the port.
"Whose is that?"
"My lord, it belonged to a fear lord before." Dorian glanced in the direction Darkus pointed and said directly.
Darkus nodded. Since everything has been said before, there is nothing more to say. There is no guarantee that it belongs to some unlucky person.
"Dorian, you go and lead the people to clean it out first." Darkus turned his head and looked at Dorian and said. After saying what he thought of, he continued, "You need to add more followers around you. In the next few years, It will be very busy, and it is very important to you and me."
Dorian was still stunned for a moment. After thinking quickly, he understood what Darkus meant. He seemed to have passed Darkus's preliminary assessment, and the following followers It must be selected from the descendants of the fear lords of Nagarond. After the supplement and selection, the next step of assessment may begin. It seems that he will have to study and discuss it carefully with his father at night. He feels that this supplement has a reason. .
To be honest, Dorian was a little confused about how he felt about Darkus. In his mind, Darkus was not like a traditional Druchi, although Darkus often behaved very kindly in front of him. , but he was both afraid and respected, just like his senses for the Witch King. He couldn't guess what Darkus would do in the next second. He also thanked Darkus for what he did for him in the sinister peaks. He knew that the share of the spoils given to the northern stronghold was paid by Darkus himself, and the following received a lot, including those affiliated with The Dread Lord's trainers receive a generous reward. In fact, there is no need for Darkus to do this at all. To put it more clearly, there is no need to pay attention to him. Anyway, it is his own business, and he also has a father who is a fear lord, but Darkus did it anyway. After doing it, she didn't show any intention to win over him.
After giving the instructions, Darkus left on his own. He still had a lot of things to do. Besides, he didn't like to stay in such a high place, especially since his current identity and status had a beneficial effect on these places. He didn't want to Sudden fall into water and slipping and falling (an extremely obscure gag).
Choosing a factory site is the first step, and there are still some steps that need to be taken care of by Darkus. The process of unfolding the matter is more complicated than he thought, especially in this world, he first needs to cultivate a group of reliable scribes, Recorder.
You must know that numbers after 5 in this world are often not very safe. 6, 7, 8, and 9 all correspond to a great god of chaos. 9 is creation, 8 is witness, 7 is revelation, and 6 is disaster relief. Listen to the God of Chaos. God’s holy number! Then there are plural numbers such as 66, 007, 888, 996. More plural numbers represent more enhancements, and so on.
Therefore, Darkos needs to reset a set of numbers that he and the scribe can understand, and make changes based on the Nagaroth-turned-elvish language. In his opinion, French is very good. Counting from 1 to 10 is very easy in French because these numbers are independent.
When counting from 10 to 16 in French, they are still independent, but 17-19 are combined numbers, similar to 10+7.
From 20 and 30 to 60, they are independent. From 21 to 61, et un rules must be added.
From 22 to 69, it becomes a component number, such as 30+3.
70-79 starts to change. It’s still a combination of numbers, but it’s not 70+5, but 60+15! After 77, it’s 60+10+7!
From 80 to 100, it starts to feel disgusting. For example, 97 is 4*20+10+7.
There are corresponding words from 100, 200 to 1000, and then addition is done on the basis of the words. There are also grammatical problems, which will not be mentioned later.
"Yes! Yes! Harmony and change, praise the Lord of Change! God damn 996 and change! Diurei Lou!" Darkus muttered quietly as he walked towards the throne room.
It is mainly the changes between French 1-100 that attract Darkus. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone. Rather than knocking over the God of Chaos with one beat, it is better to target the Lord of Change. Anyway, he doesn't need to spread knowledge. Only the limited Druchi senior officials and record officers can understand these data.
In the throne room, Malekith was still sitting on the throne and was emotive. He didn't even look at Darkus when he came in, and his orange eyes also dimmed.
Darkus knew that the dimming of his orange eyes meant that his strength and hatred were declining, so he suddenly had an idea and had a new idea. It's not that he wants to take this opportunity to kill Malekith, but that he plans to assign some work to Malekith. As the saying goes, subordinates who don't give tasks to their leaders are not good subordinates.
Darkus knew that the operating model of Druchi society was extremely rough. For example, to recruit soldiers at a critical moment, one had to go door-to-door to knock on the door to notify, and then distribute the weapons and equipment in the library, and a conscripted army would come out.
The question then arises, how many conscripts will there be? How many weapons and equipment are there? How much does the material baggage weigh? How many officers are there? No one knows these questions (all compiled by GW Mathematics). From Malekith to the officers recruiting soldiers, they don’t know anything about it. Anyway, the more the merrier.
"Your Majesty?" Darkus walked around to the side steps and walked to Malekith's side and shouted softly.
After a long time, Malekith came back to his senses from the emo, turned his head and stared at Darkus, his orange eyes filled with questioning.
"Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of a good idea to relieve my boredom!"
"Oh?" Malekith asked softly and curiously.
Dacus described his thoughts and opinions in detail. Malekith's orange eyes brightened a little as he listened, and he seemed to be a little more interested in what Darkus said.
"It's interesting. It reminds me of my time in the old world of Esso Talarian." After a long time, Malekith said, and the representative took over the job.
As Darkus expected, Malekith accepted the job he assigned. Perhaps in Malekith's view, this was indeed a better way to relieve his boredom than falling into memories and peeping on others. He suddenly didn't know whether this was right or wrong. He regretted it a little. He hoped that Malekith wouldn't change with him. He would do this or that.
Darkus pulled out a box of documents from the cabinet beside the wall, which contained all the things he had recorded. In his opinion, perhaps only this throne room was slightly safer. After he finished writing yesterday, the second When I opened it this morning, it turned into obscure graffiti.
Malekith on the throne did not need paper. He kept waving his fingers, forming a series of magic symbols in front of him. While these symbols kept changing, he could hear something murmuring in his mouth.
"Drying, blanching, canning, brine, salting, smoking and oil immersion." Darkus began to work again, writing and drawing on paper. The things he drew might be Only he can see it because it is very abstract, just like the layout diagram and production chain in the game.
The drying method is usually used to store grain, and Krakaronde has a mature process, so Darkus doesn't need to worry about it. The blanching method is most suitable for processing vegetables. In his opinion, it is a bit flashy and luxurious, and there is no related technology, but can you eat a bite of vegetables during combat? He thought for a while and then crossed it out. He might as well plant it during the tug-of-war. He knew that in 1952, vegetables were grown during the battlefield break, and what was even more outrageous was that they also grinded tofu and raised pigs. There are also ready-made processes for marinating and smoking. The meat is processed with cold water, salt or smoke. These two methods are commonly used by Druchi, and are extremely suitable for eating in the frozen soil of Nagaros, which never melts.
"After all, it's still canning." Darkus scratched his hair and thought about it. He set a range and started to make glass cans. The wide mouth ones were the easiest.
The problem is one after another. To make cans, you have to make glass bottles first. You can’t separate aluminum and tin in one step. Aluminum? If you pull him down, won't you create trouble for yourself? And then just to make cans? Darkus is not thinking at all. Tin requires tin mines, and as far as Darkus knows there seems to be none, and he doesn’t want to do any geological surveys and go around the wilderness of Nagaroth. Besides, tin is not suitable for the cold weather of Nagaroth. When talking about tin and weather, the first thing he could think of was that the tin buckles on the soldiers of Napoleon's army were easy to crack.
There is no need to worry about how thick the glass bottle needs to be and how to crush it. Sand and soda ash are crushed to dry the wet raw materials, and then heated at high temperature in a forging kiln. There is glass in this world, and the craftsmanship is very mature. For example, the Dwarf Glass Guild, the Old World and Arabi also have glass forging kilns. Even some Great Unclean Ones have Laoba glass bottles on their bodies.
Glass is the best solution at the moment. You just need to find those dwarf slaves and sorceresses to get it out quickly. As for sand? There are still a bunch of slaves. If the quartz in the sand on the beach of Nagarond is not good, go to the Red Poison River in Krakarond. Anyway, there is always something suitable. Thinking of this, Darkus wrote the Red Poison River in the memo, I have to contact my family and bring a few more boats filled with sand when I come back next time.
Due to the weather in Nagaros and the environment of Drukhi society, glass is not that popular. No matter how mature the craftsmanship of glass is, the quality is not up to standard. After being heated, the heat distribution is uneven and easy to burst, and there will be more broken windows. The bridge sections are generally made of metal shutters and railings. Only the situation at Krakalund in the south is slightly better.
Since it would be easy to single-use glass at present, Darkus directly wrote on a new piece of paper the planning and construction documents for a food factory, or should it be more appropriately called a cannery, a cannery and a glass factory. A few words, nothing big to write home about, and he doesn't expect this thing to be profitable now. It's just a simple experiment, and the whole pilot project will be done first. He is not worried that he will not be unprofitable in the future, so he holds the salt and sugar firmly in his hands. The army and fleet version of the cans only have a small amount of sugar and salt, and the commercial ones will only have salt and sugar in the cans. Do you want to buy it? ?
How thick does the glass need to be? Or what kind of strange magical craftsmanship should be used to prevent it from suddenly bursting when eaten in the northern stronghold? It can survive the wind, waves and bumps on the ship, and the same is true when it is placed on the baggage car. And will sterilization attract evil spirits? Please note that the canned dishes, taste and storage time all need to be verified.
Darkus suddenly thought of another idea, and he prepared the entire recruitment order. Of course, this recruitment order will only be spread in a small area and will not cover a large area, because it is not suitable for an authoritarian society like Druch. If any sorceress can develop a glass bottle that can be used as a ladle opener, there will be rewards, opportunities, and treatment.
After finishing writing, Darkus felt a little exhausted. He lit his pipe with a candlestick and leaned back on his chair, watching Malekith draw a dragon with his left hand and a rainbow with his right hand. He seems to understand why there are so many reckless people in this world, because it’s so straightforward, just do it and it’s over!
Industrialization is not just about building a railway and building a steam engine. Railways were not meant to serve people at the beginning, but to provide huge amounts of raw materials and commodities. This kind of demand could not be solved by the traditional horse-drawn wagons. Water transportation has certain limitations. , so the railway stands out because it is not controlled by terrain and has efficient transportation capacity.
Industrialization requires not only technology, but also cultural and ideological liberation, as well as appropriate politics and technology.
If productivity and thought are liberated in this world, then the God of Chaos will be welcomed. The pursuit of knowledge is extremely easy to be distorted, and the Middle Ages was a world where it was easy to be corrupted even by reading a book. If you look for a way to the future, you will be noticed by Tzeentch. If you heal the sick and save people, you will be noticed by Nurgle. If you want power, you will be noticed by Khorne. If you want eternal youth, you will be noticed by Slaanesh. There is always one of the four vendors of Chaos. suitable development direction.
Imprisoning thoughts, halting production, and everything is safe and sound!
The politics of the empire is a strange elector mechanism, with power extremely decentralized and each having their own plans involving many stakeholders. Nunn has a steam suspension bridge, and the city has a university district, an artillery workshop, the Richthofen Foundry, and the Imperial Shooting Academy. At the same time, Weissenland is the poorest province in the southern part of the empire. On the contrary, the farmers in Averland next door are much better than those in the city. The residents are rich. There is also the deceptive environment, the city surrounded by forests. Fortunately, there are many water networks in the empire. Nordland, which has no water network, also has a highway that can be tolled multiple times.
(Don’t discuss the pros and cons of muskets and bows)
Dwarves? If the dwarves didn't have the Age of Sorrow, maybe the continuous battles with the ratmen and greenskins could produce it? After the Sad Age, most of the dwarf fortresses became isolated islands, and the mode of transportation became the traditional walking and animal power in the mountains. You must know that the earliest development of helicopters was for air transportation, and the character of the dwarves, it is worth noting, I hope Grandet , do not wish Granny to bless them.
If Darkus has a chance, he might as well go to the Chaos Dwarfs, inspect them, and see what Thomas the Tank Engine looks like when being pushed.
As for Druch, it's simple. Each city has a fixed position. Dakous can only be strengthened on this basis. The position of the Kauchen Plain is as a planting area, raw material area and breeding area, connecting it with Nagaros. , to open up the north and south.
Spicazumana is the lizardfolk's arsenal.
Strictly speaking, the Kao Chen Plain cannot be called a colony. After all, it is not a country or region subject to economic exploitation, cultural invasion, and political enslavement by the mother country. It's just that the Slann people didn't care about it for the sake of Darkus, and they cooperated for win-win and mutual benefit. The skink lizards will not be enslaved, but may need to be overseers, and the products produced will not be brought back to Naggaroth. Some things will be traded and given to the lizard people.
When Darkus finished smoking his tobacco and finished his thoughts, Malekith was still gesticulating over there. He shook his head slightly and started working at his desk again.
"Ballistas need to be strengthened, armors and weapons need to be mass-produced and standardized, textile factories need to produce silk robes and Kaitans like armors, should we get a predator spaceship and an aerial motorcycle to be used as air power?" Darkus He began to write and draw again, and he felt that he had endless work and things to deal with.
(Updates may be few or unstable in the future. I have to Chineseize the Marienburg MOD, and then I have to find a house and move when the public rental housing expires)
