Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 665
Lawrence’s previous life has always been interested in various documentaries, and those documentaries naturally have some content about how to survive in cold regions.
Probably because of the difference in the world, Lawrence’s impression is quite a bit of warmth that this world does not have. Of course, these methods naturally don’t need the help of any extraordinary power, so from the perspective of promotion, it is not too difficult.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Lawrence, in addition to using telegrams to deal with some problems in his territory, is to write down some of his impressions and give them to Viscount Surrey, and then let him see what these plans are. Can be used.
Viscount Surrey obviously also attached great importance to these things. Except for a staff member on the first day, Viscount Surrey himself came to Lawrence to record various suggestions every day for the next few days. And personally accompany Lawrence to direct some of the workers under him to actually operate some of the ideas.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to do this work yourself.” Lawrence asked slightly jokingly at Viscount Surrey, who wielded an axe and chopped some wood into the required size.
Because the two sides have become familiar a lot during this period, the communication between Lawrence and Viscount Surrey has naturally become a lot easier, and they can also make jokes with each other.
“You can do these things as an earl or a spellcaster. Then why can’t I do these things as a viscount?”
Viscount Surrey cut the piece of wood to the size he needed with two axes, then said to Lawrence with the handle of the axe.
“For me, processing these woods with an axe is a very easy thing. It can even be said that there is basically no difficulty.”
“What’s more important is that when I do these tasks, I only give some strength, but I get more things than I give.”
What Viscount Surrey is saying now is not a simple perfunctory or courtesy answer to Lawrence, but a kind of heartfelt thanks to Lawrence.
Because in the past few days, many nobles who are also located on this island have come down to visit Lawrence and learn all kinds of knowledge that will help survive on this island at the prompt of the crucifixion church on the island. By the way, I will also visit it as this Viscount Surrey, the owner of the land.
That’s right, because this place is too hard and the number of residents is not large. Therefore, the number of members of the various churches here is not that large.
Among the churches that dispatched personnel to be stationed here, the members of the suffering churches who are willing to endure hardship, and even take it for pleasure, are obviously more widely distributed.
So after making a decision in this regard, Lawrence found a priest of the Crucifixion Church in Fort Surrey and told him that he had a skill that would help everyone survive in this desolate and cold land, and he was willing to Unconditionally share with everyone.
After receiving the good news, the priest quickly contacted the other priests on the island through the internal channels of the church, and then passed the news.
The local nobles naturally rushed after hearing such news, because for them this is something that can significantly enhance their own strength.
Therefore, from the second day of the news, some people sent by the nobles and even the nobles themselves came to this territory by various means of transportation, hoping to learn those important and precious knowledge.
After discovering that these guests from afar had entered his territory, Viscount Surrey, as a hereditary nobleman, immediately realized the importance of this incident to him.
So in addition to arranging the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation for the other nobles or the personnel sent, he personally ran to Lawrence to fight.
I have to say that after Viscount Surrey took his hand, the enthusiasm of others for learning suddenly rose.
Because in the eyes of those people, the nobles like Viscount Surrey who have lived here for several generations are willing to learn these, then it shows that these are really very meaningful things for everyone present.
In addition to the production and use of briquettes and briquettes stoves, Lawrence also taught them a series of knowledge similar to how to find various resources in the wild and build non-permanent shelters.
Especially with the knowledge about how to make various semi-underground shacks, Lawrence repeatedly told the people who came to this place to learn several times.
Although there is a lot of knowledge about how to survive in the cold zone in this world, Lawrence is very surprised to find that this world does not have the shack used by the early pioneers in the video of the previous century.
After inquiring, he learned that because goblins in this world like to build buildings similar to shacks, all intelligent races subconsciously let their own buildings build as much as possible with those who can’t kill bugs. Make a clear difference.
These shacks do have shortcomings of one kind or another, but they can indeed be built at low cost to withstand the harsh local low temperature and cold wind.
Therefore, after overcoming the inner discomfort caused by the tradition at the beginning, everyone took this simple but very effective construction technique very seriously.
There is only one reason why Lawrence and Viscount Surrey left to work outside Fort Surrey in person, and that is to be able to fight the temporary construction of these buildings to the guests who come from afar, and at the same time promote the sale of briquettes and Briquette stove.
Indeed, Lawrence and the others can let the people under their command do these things. But considering that in addition to some high-ranking servants, many nobles came in person. So after discussing with Lawrence, they felt that it was more sincere to end the demonstration in person.
Lawrence could clearly feel that after discovering that he and Viscount Surrey had gone down to do this work in person, the nobles in the stands suddenly became serious.
Even after finding that ordinary people were working too slowly, a few nobles with extraordinary professional levels entered the arena swiftly and began to carry out these construction work in accordance with Lawrence’s orders.
Soon, a shack that looked a little messy but very strong was built.
Five or six minutes after putting the ignited briquette stove into the shack, Lawrence took those who came to study into the shack to feel the temperature, space and other key data of such a simple building.
“It feels that the temperature is okay.” A domain said after a baron in the more northern area walked around the room twice, and then looked at the large pit over 1m deep below the building that provides the main living space and shelters from the wind.
“Moreover, the workload should not be large when building it~www.mtlnovel.com~ At least it can be quickly built in a short time with explosives in hand.”
“And the materials used for construction can be said to be almost everywhere on the island.” Another knight sent by a certain earl said.
“Whether it is stones, bricks or shaped wood, it is not easy to find in the wild on this island, but the branches of these shrubs, clusters of moss and soil can be said to be everywhere on the island.”
After staying in it for more than an hour in turn, everyone was full of praise for the combination of ground shack and briquette stove. Although the temperature inside is indeed not as good as those of the stone buildings, it is also obviously a little suffocated.
But as a temporary building, the advantages of this combination of being cheap and capable of being quickly and widely constructed are still beyond the reach of other solutions.
So in the next trade negotiations, everyone and Surrey signed a batch of purchase orders for briquettes.
In addition, they also agreed to let the people in their territory come here to work, in order to be able to produce the fuel that everyone needs as soon as possible.
