Chapter 48 Synthetic Factory Project
Chapter 48 Synthetic Factory Project
"It's all very simple. You might not believe it, but my main job is actually as an alchemist, and those fabrics were made by me using an alchemy workbench."
After Thorne finished speaking, Naro leaned closer and asked, "Could you demonstrate it for me? Or I just want to know if other people can make those things too?"
"I think you need to return the jobs that originally belonged to the villagers to them. This will improve your efficiency and bring enough jobs to the territory, although what we really lack right now is manpower."
After Naro finished speaking, Thorne hesitated for a moment: "Do you think something might go wrong? Like the villagers might not do a good job and give me a big surprise or something?"
It's no wonder Thorne thinks this way; the shock he received from those alchemy apprentices in the capital was simply too great.
Even the most incompetent person could easily break through the Redstone Gate, right? In the end, they pushed the city wall open with such ease.
A poet?
As a seasoned veteran of the city hall, Naro naturally knew what Thorne was thinking, and simply asked, "Are those methods dangerous? If not, then there's no problem."
After speaking, Thorne pondered for a while: "Then should we continue to set it up? Although the raw materials are all produced out of thin air from the brushing machine, we can't guarantee that the villagers won't be too passive and waste too many raw materials and production time."
Naro raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Village Chief, you learn very quickly!"
"Thank goodness. I'll go tell you how to synthesize those things. You can just set it as a fixed task and distribute it."
After saying that, Thorne went to the desk, picked up a piece of paper and drew one nine-square grid after another. Then he drew out the composition charts for wool, wool carpet, white paper and white sugar, and handed them to Naro.
Naro glanced at it and realized that the synthesis table was so simple that it was so obvious that it didn't even require learning.
It is entirely possible to continue building new workshops in the village.
As the new workshop plan came to Thorne and Naro's minds, a question arose.
The population is still small.
As dusk approached, Thorne successfully completed the construction of all the villagers' modular houses before nightfall.
Next, all that was needed was to call on people, carry ropes, and drag the corresponding foundations, walls, and roofs onto the pre-dug foundation pits. Then, under Alex's command, the villagers set up several simple, labor-saving wheel sets and successfully erected the walls and roofs.
As the first modular house was completed in a corner of the village, almost all the villagers cheered.
This spacious and tall house, with walls a meter thick and windows, was a house that no ordinary villager had ever lived in before.
Moreover, according to the village chief, this is only the basic version of the house. As long as you work hard and earn labor points, you can continue to upgrade the house in the future!
To be honest, I can hardly believe it. If the basic version of the house is already this good, how luxurious will the upgraded version be?
With this in mind, the villagers who were building the houses were even more motivated.
You should know that building houses is considered labor nowadays, and they can earn labor points. The villagers who were doing other work were so happy to see this that they wished they could join in.
Firstly, since they are building houses for themselves to live in in the future, they feel more at ease doing it themselves.
Secondly, the construction team earned a lot of labor points; for almost every house built, the team would receive ten extra labor points.
But for ordinary jobs, it takes them much longer to earn ten labor points.
The bustling village continued to quiet down as evening approached. With the completion of the last house, Thorne announced that all the work for the day was finished and everyone could go home to rest.
Moreover, this time he didn't take on any extra work for himself, and together with all the villagers, he went back to his small room to sleep early.
Speaking of this small room, Thorne had previously asked Naro if he wanted to trade it with him, and the latter...
Obviously, although a 25-square-meter room isn't very big, it's still much better than this room.
Hmm, maybe we'll need to expand this room in the future, but there's no need for that now. If we expand it, there won't be much furniture to put there; it'll be too spacious.
Just as Thorne was debating whether to furnish his room with some interesting furniture tomorrow or to build the workshop—a place with no workers but a workbench—someone in Autumnwind Town on the other side of the forest was also having trouble sleeping.
These days, almost everyone knows that adventurer guilds exist in a superposition of being reliable and unreliable, trustworthy and untrustworthy.
The reason they are reliable and trustworthy is that once the Adventurers' Guild takes your money, they will genuinely do their best to help you complete the tasks you are assigned and provide you with all the information you want to know.
The reason why they are unreliable and cannot be trusted is that as long as another person also contributes money, another wave of adventurers will step forward to block your mission and sabotage it, or sell your information to others.
The Adventurers' Guild can't and doesn't want to get involved, since they're just acting as an intermediary.
For example, Mr. Loren, the long-unseen president of the Golden Harvest Merchant Guild, spent five gold coins to buy some interesting information from the Adventurers' Association.
First, the mercenaries who took his money were incompetent. Of the two merchants who came from that half-dead village, they only captured one named Lester, while the other escaped.
The second piece of information was that someone posted a bounty on Lester's trail in the Adventurers' Guild, and not long after, the slave trader who controlled Lester was attacked by a mob.
The merchant died, the guards died, the gangsters died, and even many of the patrol teams that rushed to the scene died.
Clearly, this is inextricably linked to the information sold from the Adventurers' Guild.
In addition, Raymond, whom I had previously exiled—no, sent to that place—has not returned for so long. If nothing unexpected has happened, he must have already met with an accident.
They're probably all rotten.
"Ugh, this shabby little village always manages to cause me trouble."
As Mr. Loren spoke, he opened the last piece of intelligence. It was from an adventurer in the Adventurers' Guild who could manipulate animals. He said his name was... Druid? In any case, it was the latest intelligence he had sent back from that small, run-down village by manipulating birds.
First of all, the little village is no longer called the little village. The lord, ah, now the village chief, changed its name to Redstone Village.
Then it turned out that all his previous guesses were correct: the purchase of Lester's intelligence, the attack on slave traders, and the plundering of slaves were all done by Redstone Village, and now Redstone Village is gradually becoming prosperous.
Not only were high enough city walls built, but also vast fields of wheat and grain, and all sorts of machines were stored inside the walls.
In addition, they even started a large-scale construction project, and the vitality of the village of more than fifty people was even stronger than that of Qiufeng Town.
