"Whoosh whoosh!!!" Mina was also having fun.
"How? With this military crossbow, people who can't use bows can shoot people after training for more than ten days, right?" Liu Feng said with a smile.
"No problem, this is relatively simple, as long as you exercise your arm strength." Niu Ben said excitedly.
"That's fine, I'll leave this to you. I want at least fifty archers. You can do the rest yourself."
Liu Feng has fifty archers. In this era of backward combat power, he is simply invincible. Of course, the number of opponents cannot exceed him by many times.
There are also heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, etc. These are still being imagined. When he gets the steel output up, Liu Feng will really be invincible.
Liu Feng was excited when he thought of steel. He did not expect that not far from Xiyang City, there were iron ore and coal mines.
However, the iron-making technology in this era is backward, and the annual iron output is appallingly small.
After Liu Feng took out the method of frying steel, those iron-smelting craftsmen almost fainted with excitement. Of course, now they are all obediently making steel for Liu Feng.
The output of steel, at Liu Feng's request, has opened several furnaces, and the output is increasing day by day.
The discovery of coal made Liu Feng a little bit dumbfounded. People in this era did not know that coal could be burned, but wood was used, and charcoal was mostly used.
Speaking of the discovery of coal, Liu Feng was also lucky. On the avenue, he saw a few bear children playing with coal. He looked at the black coal from a distance. At first he thought it was a gem, but when he got closer to see Only then did I know it was coal.
After some questioning, I learned that there is an open-air natural coal mine more than ten kilometers away from Xiyang City.
With coal, it is not difficult to make iron. Liu Feng has several plans to use coal. Sometimes, energy represents civilization.
"Let's go! Let's go and see if the craftsmen got what I want out." Liu Feng took Mina out of the warehouse, leaving Niu Ben to arrange everything.
After the two left the barracks, they headed to the mountain behind the castle, where there were several hidden workshops, no, in the words of the earth, it was a laboratory.
In addition to the military camps, those workshops are the ones that Liu Feng invested the most gold coins in. Maybe in the future, the investment will be more and more, because this is a research institute of the otherworld; of course, it is very simple now, with only a few There are wooden houses with very few people.
When Liu Feng came here, he saw a few people shouting while holding a stone, and Niu Wu was blocking them with a long sword.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to report to Lord City Lord, we succeeded, really succeeded..."
Niu Wu was unmoved, and said coldly, "If you have anything, just tell me, and I will tell you. Without the warrant of Lord Liu Feng, none of you can leave."
Chapter 0026 We just need to be your servant.
"Master, let me ask what's going on."
Mina took out her saber and stepped forward with brisk steps. She would not allow any harm to the young master; after a while, she waved to Liu Feng to come forward.
"What's going on?" Liu Feng asked with a frown, looking a little ugly as he looked at the chaotic crowd.
"Master, they must go to see you." Niu Wu said respectfully.
He was not afraid at all. It was Liu Feng who gave him the power to watch over this valley. No one could go in or come out. Unless there was a warrant, this was a top-secret valley.
"Lord Liu Feng, we succeeded, and we succeeded in refining the technique of turning mud into stone." An old man took the lead, and it was he who was holding a stone.
Liu Feng knew that he was a relatively outstanding mason in Xiyang City. He was called Lu Jiangtou and was recruited by him to refine something.
"Oh? Did it really work?" Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Where is it, take me to see it quickly."
"Lord Liu Feng, here!" Lu Jiang quickly put down the stone in his hand and said excitedly, "Sir, we didn't eat your rice and meat for nothing."
This sentence made Liu Feng understand why Lu Jiangtou and the others were so excited and wanted to see him in a hurry.
Lu Jiangtou and the others, in the past few days, felt like they were in heaven. Every day was a big steamed bun and a large piece of meat for them to eat. It was much better than the days when they were hungry and full.
They were afraid that the things that Master Liu Feng had told him would not be burned, and the nobles would be disappointed, and if they drove them away, they would not be able to eat big steamed buns and large pieces of meat.
After a few days of uneasiness, they finally let Craftsman Lu and the others burn something called cement. They also used cement to try to pierce the two stones together according to the method that Master Liu Feng said before.
He just stared at the two stones for a whole night, and when he moved the two stones after dawn, he found that they were really one, making Lu Jiangtou and the others crazy with joy, and hurriedly hugged the stones and wanted to find Liu Feng.
Liu Feng squatted down, looked seriously at the stone that was cut together with cement, touched it with his hand, and said to Niu Wu, "Niu Wu, smash it open."
"Yes!"
Niu Wu hugged the stone and smashed it towards the big stone not far away, smashing it several times in a row before separating the two stones, one of which was still stuck with cement.
"Passed!" Liu Feng said with a satisfied smile. Although the soil cement was burned, it was also an epoch-making product. For infrastructure madmen, cement is one of the must-have items.
Lu Jiangtou and the others were all smiling and tearful. They did not disappoint Master Liu Feng, and the big white steamed buns and chunks of meat were saved.
"Very good, what kind of reward do you want? You can say it and listen to it." Liu Feng said generously.
Lu Jiangtou and the others looked at each other and smiled cautiously. It seemed that they had already discussed it before.
"The reward we want is to be your servant." Lu Jiangtou and the others shouted in unison.
"You are presumptuous!" Niu Wu scolded coldly.
In his opinion, there are too many people who want to be servants to the young master, and a few craftsmen want to be servants to the young master. , worry-free food and clothing.
Lu Jiangtou and others hurriedly knelt down. They knew that this request was a bit too much. After all, as domestic servants, Liu Feng wanted to support them. Of course, their lives belonged to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng smiled helplessly. These people are too simple. As long as they feed each other, they can give their lives to him.
"Okay, I promise, you just have to work hard, steamed buns and big pieces of meat are all you can eat."
In fact, from the moment Lu Jiangtou walked into this valley, they were no different from Liu Feng's servants, and now they have just turned positive. After all, cement is his top secret.
"Yes, we will work hard." Lu Jiangtou and the others shouted respectfully.
"Very good, let's expand the output of cement. I will need a lot of cement in three days." Liu Feng said, "Also, protection must be done well, and no one is allowed to take off that mask."
"Yes!"
"Go down."
Liu Feng waved them down. Today is a happy day. With the appearance of cement, he will start to rebuild Xiyang City.
"Let's go and see another thing." Liu Feng smiled and walked to another yard.
When the two came to another yard, they saw that there were many shelves in the yard, with pieces of things hanging on them.
"Lord Liu Feng is here." The sharp-eyed spotted Liu Feng and shouted quickly.
Suddenly, seven or eight people ran over and respectfully saluted Liu Feng.
"How's it going? Has there been any results?" Liu Feng looked at the sunbathing.
"Sir, the first batch has come out and is being cut and formed." Someone respectfully said.
