Chapter 141 The Destruction of the Charles Family
In other words, steel production will not only be a big problem in Osfir's development plan, but also a big problem for all countries in the world of Rothschild.
Of course, this big problem only arises when you start trying to carry out some kind of industrialization in the past life in this world. If you don't try to lay railroad tracks over a large area, then this problem does not exist.
The root of the problem is that industrialization consumes huge amounts of resources.
Take Osfir as an example. When Theos had just conquered the hobgoblins and gnomes in Rum Valley, the steel output that the mining area could provide at that time was about 120,000 pounds a year, equivalent to about 54 tons, which was completely
Small workshop.
It seems that this quantity is very small, but based on the average weight of a suit of armor, which is 2,400 sets of armor per year, it seems quite a lot.
After being transformed in Theos, the Rum Valley became the Rum Industrial Zone. Blast furnaces were also used for iron-making, and the labor costs required for refining steel were greatly reduced. Today's Osfil (mainly Rum
Industrial Zone) Based on the performance of the blast furnace, it can produce about 2,000 tons of steel per year, equivalent to about 4.4 million pounds.
If all these 4.4 million pounds were forged into armor, there would be more than 88,000 sets in total!
Does the annual steel production of nearly 100,000 sets of armor represent Osfir's high degree of industrialization?
In fact, far from it, Osfill has not even touched the edge of industrialization.
First of all, steel production is not equivalent to the amount of armor. This statement only applies when steel production is very small.
Because the production capacity or production efficiency of the two was equal at that time, they could be benchmarked. But now that steel production has increased, it and armor are still two different things after all, and Osfir does not have so many craftsmen.
So many soldiers.
It seems that the current steel production has far exceeded Osfill's utilization capacity, but in fact it is not.
Because once Theos wants to lay rails, it's a different story. This has been experimented with in the Rum Industrial Zone. There, at the request of Theos, some mine track rails were experimentally laid to improve the quality of the railway.
Mining efficiency.
And just that few rails used up most of Osfil Steel's annual output.
From a practical point of view, the steel needed to lay one kilometer of single-track railway is about 150 tons, and if it is a double line, it will require 300 tons. In other words, all the steel produced by Osfil in a year is used to lay the railway.
Railways can only build a single track of 13 kilometers or a double track of 6 kilometers at most...
This is far from Theos's plan to cover the entire Xilan Mountains with railways.
Therefore, Theos's next goal is to increase Osfir's productivity and find ways to industrialize the territory.
At the beginning, Theos always thought that this process would not be difficult. In other words, even weak humans in the previous life could achieve it, so wouldn't it be easier for him now?
However, this is not easy.
"It seems that we still have to find a way to make a fuss about the world itself." Theos thought.
Relying on the two million people under the rule of Osfir in the Xilan Mountains, if we want to achieve this goal according to the route of the previous life, it is impossible to say that it is impossible, and it can only be said to be half the result with twice the effort.
That method relied on a complete scientific system, and with the level of scientific knowledge in the Rohirrim world... Theos felt that it would take at least hundreds of years to cultivate everything from scratch, which was stupid.
So in the end, Theos still has to start with magic, which is the advantage of this world.
If it were magic, what should it be called? Magic industry? Magical technology?
Just when Theos was thinking wildly, Robbie interrupted his thoughts with a voice.
"Master, regarding the newly conquered halflings... after the south was unified, many people proposed to return to their hometowns?" Robbie asked.
"If they are willing to go back, just let them go back." Theos shook his head.
Halflings have always been willing to relocate, and if given the choice, they would definitely not want to move. However, after experiencing disasters, some halflings' hometowns have become sad places, and some people must not be willing to go back.
"Those who are willing to stay in the north will be given land as planned."
"Yes." Robbie responded.
"Besides." Theos suddenly thought of something.
"I came from south to north and saw that the land in the south seems to be more suitable for farming than in the north. In future planning, priority can be given to developing the south into an agricultural area."
"Okay, you go ahead." Theos asked everyone to step back.
The development of the territory cannot be achieved in a day, and nothing can be accomplished in a short while. Theos needs to be patient and sort out his thoughts so that the development of the territory will not go astray after his breakthrough.
He took out a piece of paper from the table and used his mage's hand to control the quill to write on it.
In terms of agriculture, we still need to vigorously develop it, and it must be able to supply at least five million people for consumption. This is actually not difficult to achieve, and it will be very easy with the size of the Xilan Mountains.
In terms of transportation, drawing maps and opening roads... this all takes a lot of time.
It is even more difficult on the industrial side. The first thing Osfir needs to do is to integrate magic into production. This can be done from the All Souls Academy and develop some magic technology. However, the current All Souls Academy has only just
From the beginning, it can be said that it is still far away.
In terms of urban construction, according to Theos's understanding, the north and south sides should be centered on Hammer City and Osfir City respectively, radiating outward.
…
Unconsciously, half a day passed, and dozens of plans were written on Theos's desk. When the last word was written, Theos breathed a sigh of relief.
"That should be fine."
Controlling the mage's hand to bind the papers into a book, Theos put it aside.
At the meeting the next day, Theos officially issued the plan, and the entire Osfil had new goals.
At the same time, he also issued a new order - Lord Parade!
All residents of the Osfir Territory must gather at the designated location according to the area on the day fifteen days later, and gather together in units of cities, towns, and villages, and are not allowed to run around.
That's right, the first thing Theos did next was to inspect the territory.
Since the north and south are unified and the Xilan Mountains are integrated into one body, Theos, as the leader, naturally wants the people in all territories to admire his majesty and great image!
Well, in dragon terms, Theos is ready to harvest a wave of bloodline points.
Although it is possible to break through, after all, the points have not been collected yet. No matter what, it is best to have the points in hand first to feel at ease.
Designating a time for the citizens to gather will undoubtedly greatly shorten the harvest time of Theos.
Of course, he could actually let everyone take the initiative to pay homage to him, but this idea was abandoned after just a little thought. The kind-hearted Lord Theos decided not to trouble his people.
Sometimes, it is also fun to harvest it yourself.
After the notice was issued, the news quickly spread throughout the Xilan Mountains much faster than ordinary government orders.
So as expected, the entire Xilan Mountains were boiling! And among them, the north was the worst.
In Lum Industrial Zone, when the management staff posted the notice, a large group of people quickly gathered around it.
"What!? The lord is coming to our place as a guest!?"
"I'm not a guest, I'm passing by here."
"Doesn't that mean that we can see the majestic figure of the lord?"
"Yes, this is a very rare opportunity."
"Then I have to wear my best clothes."
"You're a dirty miner, how can you have any nice clothes?"
Various discussions took place in various settlements in the mountains of the Xilan Mountains, and Lord Xunyou undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's conversations after dinner.
And while everyone was still preparing for that day, the changes outside the Xilan Mountains were also affected by the changes in the mountains.
The destruction of Moltenhammer City is like a stone thrown into the water. The splash will eventually spread to the entire lake.
It is winter in the Rohirrim continent, and everyone is making final preparations for the winter. This was originally a quiet and deserted season, but now it has become lively with a series of breaking news.
Aslan, in a tavern in Franka, the drunkards were talking about the recent news, and while drinking, they occasionally let out shocked cries.
The focus of all this is a young knight who is in the middle of the bar and is being watched by them.
"These days are really not peaceful. Monsters become restless when winter comes. Who would have thought that Hammer City would be besieged by monsters," said a drunkard.
"That's wrong. The ones attacking the Hammer City in the Xilan Mountains were not ordinary monsters, but the army of a monster kingdom." The young knight Jack took a sip of wine and corrected the drunkard's statement.
Everyone present knew that Jack studied in a noble martial arts school, and his brother served in the Royal Guard, so he often had some good news.
"Monster Kingdom? Can those monsters establish a kingdom now?" The drunkards were surprised and couldn't think of the reason.
In fact, this statement is not quite correct, because Theos did not claim to be the king and found the country, and the so-called monster kingdom is just a description.
"That kingdom is not easy to mess with. I heard from my brother that they have a name called Osfir, and they are led by a golden dragon."
"Golden Dragon!?"
There is no doubt that as soon as the word "Golden Dragon" came out, it immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Yes, the golden dragon integrated the monsters in the mountain and challenged the dwarves of Molten Hammer City." Jack added.
"I think I've heard of this too!" In the corner, a guest who was drinking silently suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
"My brother-in-law's cousin is doing business in the west of the kingdom. I heard from him that the merchants there seem to be able to do business with monsters directly from the Xilan Mountains. I didn't expect it to be true."
