Chapter 120 Big Construction and Reunion (4K)

In his previous life, Ryan also used his winter and summer vacations to work hard at construction sites, mixing cement with his hands.

Under the doubtful and puzzled looks of De Lai and others, Ryan dug a hole in the cement piled in the open space and explained: "This thing is called cement. It is a building material. Mix it with a certain amount of water."

After mixing and stirring, the hardness after drying is comparable to that of stone.

If materials such as stones and river sand are added, its hardness can be improved to another level. It is extremely hard. It can not only be used as an adhesive, but can also be used to pave roads, build houses, etc., and has many uses."

"Although it is made of gray stone, it has already turned into powder. How can it still be as hard as stone? It is unlikely."

De Lai looked at the pile of cement and couldn't imagine how it could be as hard as rocks.

"Can you give it a try and you'll know?" Ryan smiled slightly and began to add water to the crater-like cement pile.

After thorough stirring and exhausting as many air bubbles as possible, it finally turned into a lump of plaster-like substance. De Lai shook his head as he looked at it. After wasting so much time and manpower and material resources, it was just like this?

Ryan ignored De Lai, who looked constipated, and filled a wooden box with the mixed cement, intending to make it into a cement block and test the hardness.

The original cement sets relatively slowly, often taking more than half a week, and requires frequent watering during this process.

Ever since he listened to Ryan's words, De Lai has been running there from time to time, and restlessly poked a few holes in it with his fingers. He found that it was indeed slowly getting hard, and he couldn't help but believe it.

After the cement block was almost solidified, De Lai volunteered to test the hardness. He swung a big hammer and hit it hard. For a moment, fragments flew and a small crater was made in the cement block.

De Lai's eyes widened in surprise. He was very aware of his power. The ordinary stone must have been broken into pieces by this blow. Unexpectedly, the solidified pile of powder did not turn into something as he expected.

A pile of debris.

"Is this...really made of powdered limestone? It's just a big stone."

Hans on the side was also extremely surprised. He had not seen Ryan mixing cement with his own eyes, and it was a bit unbelievable at the moment.

"It's not as hard as bluestone. If it's made into concrete, it will be stronger. But its advantages are obvious. We can use it to quickly build a fortress here. Defense against ordinary monsters is not a problem at all."

Ryan patted the cement block and felt quite satisfied. With it, he could finally get rid of the evil mud road.

Gathering a group of workers together, Ryan personally told them how cement should be mixed, how to use it, precautions, etc.

In particular, it was emphasized that the cement should be kept dry, the lime should not be exposed to water, and attention should be paid to protecting the eyes.

Mr. Lane taught the class in person, and they didn't even dare to take a breath or blink their eyes, for fear of missing something and making mistakes during the construction.

…………

After explaining everything clearly, Ryan finally planned to return. However, the selection of people stationed here became a problem. After all, this is in the Warcraft Mountains, and there must be extraordinary power to guard it.

Ryan and Xiyue didn't have to think about it, so they had to choose between Delai and Hans. After several choices, he finally chose Delai to lead 500 soldiers and 500 civilians to station here.

This is also considering that Hans has just made a great achievement, so it is time to rest and wait for a while before rotating. It can also be used to regularly attack low-level monsters and train the army.

No matter how good the training is, it will not be as good as the actual combat effect.

In order to facilitate contact and handle emergencies, Xiyue left a messenger bird there to maintain communication. After this period of time, the two messenger birds have been completely tamed by her.

…

When Ryan returned to Manchester City again, it was already more than half a month later.

In less than a month, it will be the time for rice transplanting. The locals I saw along the way, led by the village chief, town chief, etc., have already begun to cut down the green cane that has occupied the land.

During this period, Hevian also managed the territory in an orderly manner, and even offered the people a copper per pound of green cane to cut down and buy back, further expanding the sugar mill.

He is now the second-in-command of Dorman City, and Ryan did not hide it from him. He had already told the secret of sugar extraction after taking over the Government Affairs Office.

Major construction and spring plowing preparations are in full swing, and Ryan also feels that he is busy again. Spring plowing is a top priority and cannot be taken lightly.

Although he was supervised by officials, he still traveled to various towns from time to time.

During that period of time, the people who were busy in the fields could often see their respected Master Lane squatting on the edge of the fields with one or two followers, looking at their work.

Of course, Ryan is not idle. He was also the son of a farmer in his previous life, and he is not proficient in farming, but he is not a so-called "city dweller". He is observing the farming methods and levels of the world.

Generally speaking, there is not much difference from the previous life, but there is no mechanical help, and there are not many cattle and iron farm tools, resulting in relatively low efficiency.

Looking at the farmers sweating profusely in the fields, Ryan began to think about what tools could improve their farming efficiency. Unfortunately, although he knew many modern agricultural equipment, none of them could be used now. After all, he couldn't even make electricity.

"Do you elves have any methods to increase food production?"

After thinking hard to no avail, he finally left the problem to the bored Xiyue, who seemed to have nothing to do lately except help him tame the wildebeest.

"We? It's very simple. We can just use extraordinary power."

Xiyue glanced at him and said matter-of-factly.

Ryan: "..."

"Tell me something I can use."

"Well... if you humans want to increase food production, you usually rely on the power of the Harvest Goddess. You just need to invite the priests of the Harvest Church to bless the land.

Of course, there are also ways to use alchemical potions to increase production, but the price is much higher than hiring a priest."

After all, she has lived a long time. Although Xiyue herself knows nothing about farming, she understands these things quite clearly.

Ryan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. She seemed to have given a lot of solutions, but she seemed to have said some nonsense.

The distribution range of the Church of the Harvest Goddess is far less than that of the Church of the Holy Light. At least according to Ryan's understanding, there is no Church of the Harvest Goddess in the entire Linton County, but there are many pan-believers. Almost all farmers believe in the Harvest Goddess.

Not to mention alchemy potions. Alchemists are originally a rare species, and Liman is considered half of them, but he can only prepare a few kinds of potions. It's the same as not saying anything.

"Oh, I'd better think about how to get some fertilizer."

Ryan stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Just as he was thinking about how to increase production, a large team entered Khanna's territory...

When seeing this team of hundreds of people, the officers guarding the city were very confused, especially when they saw that the opponent was armed and flying the Black family flag.

A young man riding a tall horse dismounted and said to him in an excited tone: "Hey, sir, go tell the Baron that the lady and the lady have arrived."

Just when the guarding officer was a little unsure, a big hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Allen, the deputy commander of the army. He was relieved that he didn't have to ask for instructions himself.

Allen was patrolling the city wall just now, and saw the Black family's Eagle Eye flag raised high from a distance.

He knew that Ryan's mother and sister would come to the territory during this time. Seeing this, he could not understand that people had arrived, so he hurried down to greet them.

He had also lived in the Black family for a while, and had never met the young man in front of him. He couldn't help but said: "I am the Knight Commander of Canaland, Alan Davis. May I ask who is Mrs. Kelinman and Susan?"

Has the lady arrived?"

"Are you Knight Allen? Hey, I've heard of you. My name is Levis Clinton, a trainee knight, and my mentor is Sterling Nord."

The young man looked lively and spoke in a cheerful tone. No matter from every angle, he was a handsome young man.

A trainee knight is a general term for a person who has officially embarked on the path of knight training. He has only begun to practice the fighting spirit method. He is not yet a true knight. He has to go through the ghostly gate of breaking through the junior knight.

"Nice to meet you."

Allen nodded, but looked at the team not far away. Sure enough, he found Sterling's figure next to a carriage. He knew that this was Ryan's swordsmanship instructor. With him, their identity was no problem.

At this time, a small head poked out of the carriage window and waved to Allen.

Allen showed a smile, walked quickly to the carriage, and said respectfully: "I've met you, madam. It's been a hard journey, madam. Your arrival will definitely make Lei very excited. Please allow me to lead the way into the city."

Susan had a lively personality. She smiled and said to Allen, "Susan wants to give her brother a surprise."

Kailinman, who was sitting in the carriage, also opened the curtain and said with a hint of exhaustion: "Thank you so much, Mr. Allen. The people we are traveling with are already very tired. I hope we can arrange a place to rest for them as soon as possible."

.”

"Madam, don't worry, they are all the families of the soldiers. Lei has already arranged a place for them to live." Allen smiled slightly. Knowing that they were coming, Ryan had already ordered Hevian to clear a place in the south of the city.

They are all our own people, so naturally we cannot treat them badly.

Allen greeted Sterling and the old butler Deman again, and then led the team into the city.

While they were talking, someone had already informed Ryan. When he heard the news, he didn't even care about taking care of his image. He mounted his horse and galloped towards the north of the city.

When he arrived, the team had only reached halfway. Looking at the familiar and friendly faces, Ryan got off his horse and said happily: "Teacher, Butler Deman, it's great that you can arrive safely."

"Thanks to Mr. Sterling along the way, otherwise we would have been in a lot of trouble."

Kailinman got off the carriage and looked at Ryan with a smile. She was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw the aura of a superior person in her son. This is what a noble should be like.

"Mother, son..."

Ryan was about to pay a visit to his mother, when a smaller figure rushed from the carriage into his arms at an extremely fast speed, rubbing its little head vigorously.

Fortunately, Ryan restrained his fighting spirit in time, otherwise he would probably be injured if he bumped into him so recklessly.

"Susan, do you miss your brother?"

He asked happily as he rubbed the little head dotingly.

"Humph, my brother is a bad guy. He sent a letter back just once after so long. I don't miss you."

Susan raised her head proudly and looked at Ryan angrily, but the hand holding him did not loosen at all. She was a typical late-stage patient with a tough mouth.

"Okay Susan, let's talk after we go back. This is on the street." Kailinman smiled and watched the two brothers and sisters communicate with each other, and the family was finally reunited.
