Struggle in the Steam Age

After joining Safir, Lawrence finally made up a standard team. After all, Shumei, as an extraordinary creature, is difficult to understand some more abstract knowledge. And Lawrence himself and Nora, who seems to be a copy of him in terms of the Three Views and knowledge reserves, are accustomed to thinking about problems when they substitute into another world.

Therefore, the reliable and well-educated natives of the world like Safir are very important to Lawrence and the others, because she can help them find the deficiencies in the plan from the perspective of a native, so as to further improve on this star. Plan for the development of the boundary plane.

In fact, Lawrence still wanted the true native jackals of this astral plane to participate in the discussion, but after asking at the banquet just now, the jackals all thought that this kind of thing should be ordered by the gods to go. Just complete. After activating the Jackals several times and still insisting on their attitude, the heavy responsibility of formulating the whole plan finally fell on Lawrence and the group of outsiders.

For the next week, the four people were very busy. Except for the two people, Safir and Lawrence, who take turns to return to the main plane for half an hour every day, pretending to be the illusion that two people are still camping in multiple scenic spots by the lake. At other times, everyone is designing the future development direction of this astral plane in this house.

However, there is a very important problem here, that is, none of the four people present has the experience of leading so many people, let alone guiding a civilization, even if there are only a few hundred thousand people with the experience of miniaturization and progress. So in desperation, they can only find what they want from the history of the two worlds, and then piece together a set of plans that may seem feasible.

Then there are a lot of quarrels. For example, Lawrence repeatedly reminded Syfiel in the process of guiding the development of an astral plane with its own civilization. The most important thing is to retain the autonomy of the civilization in this plane. Sex and creativity. Because Safir always wanted to buy a lot of things from the outside and directly let these jackals enter the industrial age.

"Their lives are really terrible, and they are too backward. For example, according to these data, at most ten out of every 100 jackals have metal tools, while others have only some stone, bone and even tools. Wooden tools.” Whenever it comes to this, Syfiel will give his reasons.

Of course, this reason is also very reasonable. Because everyone knows that the Jackals in the astral plane where they are now live an extremely primitive life, and the production capacity of the entire plane is too low. An important goal of Lawrence and the others in formulating these plans is to promote the development of the Jackal civilization like a living fossil.

"You are right, we really want to promote the development of these jackals." Lawrence nodded, "but we forcibly impose our civilization on them will only completely destroy their future. Let alone this one. There are no fossil fuels like coal mines. You can't always import such necessities from the outside world, right?"

A whole week passed in such a controversy, and Lawrence and the others finally came up with a more feasible plan. Of course, this is not the final plan, they will continue to adjust these plans according to changes in the situation.

Because this astral plane is a long strip with a width of 100 kilometers and a length of 2,600 kilometers, and at the same time it has a complex topography from oceans, plains to mountains. So Lawrence and the others naturally designed different development directions for different locations.

After checking several times and finding no big loopholes, Lawrence and the others came to the heads of the jackals in the temple. Fortunately, the jackals all live on the banks of the river, and Lawrence and the others are right now where the river is close to the mouth of the sea. So after receiving the news of the return of the gods a week ago, all the jackal leaders came down here by boat.

When they came to the hall of the temple again, Syfiel was still floating in the air, Lawrence and the others stood beside her. A dozen staff members stood behind them. It's just that the people standing below are not the previous devout believers, but the leaders from various settlements and the administrators of the temple.

To be called by God is naturally extremely glorious for believers. It's just that these leaders didn't expect that this time Lawrence and the others had nothing to do with the content and beliefs they discussed, but something very common in their eyes.

"Everyone, based on the arrangement of the past few days, Your Majesty Jade Heart has worked out a development plan with us." Lawrence stood up as the right hand of God, and then pointed the short stick in his hand to a huge sand table on the stone platform in front of him. Speaking of.

This is a large-scale sand table. Since the entire plane is a long strip, Lawrence and the others had to ask the jackals at the door to put more stone platforms in this house to support the sand table during the preparations. .

It can be seen from the sand table that the topography of this astral plane is very complicated. The river that runs through the entire plane originates from the mountainous area at one end of the plane, followed by hills and forests that cannot be cultivated with the tools in the Jackal's hands alone. . This terrain occupies 1,200 kilometers, of which there are only a few jackals and small hunting tribes.

Next is a huge plain of 1,100 kilometers, but there are also some mineral-bearing hills, hills, and inward lagoons. Because of the previous adjustment of the God of Habib, the plain climate here is a slightly arid steppe climate. It is not the same as the real desert on both sides of the Nile in Yanzhou. On this dry grassland, some jackals who live by grazing, mining and salt mining live here.

The places on both sides of the river that can be nourished by the river are densely covered with lush vegetation, with tropical trees like palms and dates. There are also some large settlements of jackals and agricultural facilities interspersed with them. The number of jackals who naturally live here is also the largest.

The 100-kilometer river delta near the sea also has a large number of jackals, engaged in hunting, fishing, and planting. The number of jackals here is not the largest, but the population density is the largest.

At the same time, except for the largest city under the pyramid, the second largest city in the entire plane, mainly fishery and some handicrafts, the estuary city with 6000 people is also located on this delta.

The 200 kilometers from the mouth of the river is the sea area of ​​this plane, with some small islands inside. The jackals based in Bayou City and small islands established a marine fishery system.

After pointing out that this is the entire plane sand table and allowing the audience to watch it, the wise men and leaders among these jackals all gathered around the sand table to find their hometown. Fortunately, Lawrence took this into consideration when making the sand table. There are ancient Nile hieroglyphs engraved on small bronze plaques on the sides of each important terrain for illustration.

Unfortunately, at least half of the settlement leaders are illiterate. So much so that they had to ask the staff in those temples to help them point out the location. After everyone knew the location of their settlement, Lawrence stood by the sand table and started his own explanation.

"I think you have already seen this sand table~www.wuxiahere.com~ Next, let’s talk about the arrangements of Majesty Jade Heart. According to the plan, we will build a bend on this tributary of the big river on the edge of Black Paw Mountain. A bronze smelter.

Using river channels, we can transport copper and tin ore upstream, and then use local fast-growing palm as fuel to smelt bronze. "Speaking, Lawrence used a stick to tap a river bend in the lower reaches of the river in the sand table.

"This place is not only convenient for the transportation of raw materials and products, but also if dams are built on the upper reaches of the river, water conservancy can be used to save manpower and increase productivity..."

While explaining, Lawrence asked the temple staff to take out the model of the forged hammer in the water. After pouring a pot of water to imitate the current, the jackals present immediately understood the principle of the hydraulic forging hammer.

"This plan requires the construction of the Black Claw Mountain Copper Mine, Heiyu Village and the downstream Hewan Town. Has the leader of these places come?" After the explanation was completed, Lawrence asked the shaggy jackal in front of him.

"Here we are." An elderly Jackal with a cane, a female Jackal with three copper earrings on her ears, and a Jackal with muscular knots and multiple burn scars from the crowd. Walked out, then crossed his arms and bowed to Lawrence.
