Chapter 131 131. Curse of Collapse
Magic may provide a shortcut to technological development.
Lowe had some vague thoughts in this regard.
After the territory completes its initial development, it will probably take hundreds of years for the subsequent industrial development to be possible, given the current population and technological resources.
Without sufficient technical accumulation, there is no hope of solving the problem of the steam engine's closed nature.
Not to mention the subsequent internal combustion engines, generators, and a series of other technologies.
This requires countless flashes of inspiration from geniuses, countless geniuses succeeding one another, a sufficient theoretical system and logical support, and a large population to provide logistical and industrial capabilities, to ultimately achieve the qualitative change of the revolution and the leap forward in civilization and industry.
This is far from being achieved by just forcing things on your own.
After mid-January, the temperature began to warm up and people's outdoor activities began to last longer.
It hasn't snowed for a while, the snow on the roads has been cleared, and traffic in the territory shows signs of recovery.
The biggest good news in recent times is the drop in coal supply prices.
The lord dispatched the Earth Guard to assist the miners in mining, which greatly increased the work efficiency and safety factor! It is said that the Earth Guard can not only reinforce the inner wall of the mine, but also reduce the occurrence of mining accidents.
Moreover, it can walk freely underground and open roads in the mud. Even if a landslide or mining disaster occurs, it can easily rescue people from underground.
With the help of the Earth Guardians, the workers' mining capacity can be easily multiplied several times.
Perhaps the only downside is that you have to replenish your magic power every day.
Lowe alone is unable to maintain the Earth Guardian. It consumes about 1% of his mental energy. The Earth Guardian consumes nearly 5% of its power for mining every day.
Therefore, Lowe had to recruit spellcasters in Donggang City for assistance.
Davian and a scholar responded to the call, but unfortunately both of them were only at the apprentice level in terms of mental strength. Together with Misha, the help provided by the three was extremely limited.
It is not easy to find a spellcaster of the official rank.
Luo Wei could only hold on for a while, cycling between recharging and meditation every day. Unconsciously, his strength improved.
Less than half a year had passed since the goblin crusade, and the range of his spiritual perception had increased by about twenty meters.
To be honest, Lowe has basically never practiced deliberately. Except for the recent period of time when he meditated more frequently, he usually spent all his energy sleeping instead of meditating.
It was hard to imagine that Evelyn could sustain deep meditation for long.
He didn't understand the point of spending time on this, but he felt that if someone was extremely talented and had such self-discipline, his achievements would be amazing.
However, life would be boring if it continued like this for the rest of his life. Luo Wei quietly leaned against the maid's arms, squinting his eyes with a comfortable look on his face.
"Master, when will you want me?" Su Ya said resentfully.
By using her identity as a doctor to help the young master recuperate, she could easily have more opportunities to be alone.
"Don't worry! Didn't I promise to help you? I keep my word."
"A year has passed. If you don't help me, I will get old."
"Don't lie to me, Suya, you are not an ordinary woman, right?"
The young man pulled his face out of the gentle embrace and the two men looked at each other.
Su Ya touched her hair on her cheek and said, "Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"According to legend, we black-haired humans all have demon blood." Lovi paused for two or three seconds as if to organize his words: "What kind of demon blood are you?"
"I don't know about that." Su Ya blinked rapidly, obviously lying.
"Tell me quickly!" Lowe showed a vicious expression, raised his hands and clenched his five fingers.
This trick didn't work on Luo Deer! It obviously had a good deterrent effect on Su Ya. She held her hands in fear, looking very scared.
In anticipation, Luo Wei did not move: "Suya, you are a succubus, right?"
Su Ya's eyes flashed, and she put down her hand in frustration: "Master, you know everything?"
"I was just guessing. If it wasn't a succubus, I wouldn't have had such a big reaction." Luo Wei watched the plumpness approaching his nose, and his neck couldn't help but tilt back a little. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "How long can your elders live?"
"The longest lived over 220 years old." Su Ya pursed her lips, not hiding her obsession: "Master, you are the succubus, why can't I control myself."
“Hey hey hey.”
Just as the predator pounced on its prey, there was a knock at the door.
"I'm coming in."
Another maid on duty, Xiqi, walked into the lord's room.
He frowned slightly and glanced at Su Ya's aggressive posture: "What are you doing?"
"Master, you feel a little uncomfortable. Let me help you take a look." Su Ya restrained the expression on her face and smiled harmlessly.
Xiqi bit the corner of her mouth gently: "Master, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I feel a little dizzy." Luo Wei propped himself up and sat up: "How is the business of Fulin Department Store going recently?"
"Popular items are in short supply. People are clamoring to buy cement stoves, and honeycomb coal is also selling very well." Xiqi looked at the two of them absentmindedly, and clenched her fists on her knees quietly.
After a brief chat about work for a few minutes, the two left the lord's room together.
The relationship between the maids is actually quite delicate. Everyone is holding back their anger and wants to get promoted as soon as possible.
No one wants to be just a servant all his life.
Perhaps, only Lan Lan is content with the status quo. Bathroom on the fourth floor of Fulin Castle.
In the steaming warm water, Xiqi gently wiped her face with a silk scarf.
Coal supplies have been plentiful recently, and restrictions on the use of hot water have been relaxed somewhat.
She gazed at the gorgeous face in the bronze mirror.
If I could be a little more beautiful, I think I could make the young master fall in love with me.
Could it be because of the way he dresses?
Or because of the figure!
Xiqi glanced down and felt that although she was not as good as Suya, she was much better than Madam Lodel . The woman carefully squeezed out the aloe vera juice and covered her face with it.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and looked at the mirror again.
She became younger! It happened so suddenly that she felt her skin becoming more and more delicate, with tears in her eyes.
As the news that Xiqi had completely regained her youth spread throughout Fulin Castle, people came to watch.
"Wow! Sister Xiqi is really the most beautiful!" Lanlan held her hands and wagged her tail in a flattering manner.
The girl with purple-black hair has a perfect appearance.
The cool and handsome temperament that tends to be neutral perfectly fits the aesthetics of both men and women.
Several maids, who were also beauties, couldn't help but have admiration flash in their eyes.
Luo Wei looked at Xiqi. If she were a boy, he would definitely be the center of attention. "Congratulations! Do you want to take a few days off?"
"No, Master! Spring is coming soon and I have many things to arrange."
