My Empire War Game

After the breakthrough in papermaking technology, Su Lun immediately began to arrange for people to transcribe books. If the school in Zhenbei City wants to expand, it needs a lot of books. As for printing, the quality of the paper is good enough for writing, and printing is not good at all.

Poor paper quality, printing inks, etc. are all problems, and only hand copying can be used. However, this is not difficult for those scholars. After all, when there is no printing technique, they are all copied by hand.

After the paper from the paper workshop was made, half of it was sent to the lord's castle, and the rest was sent to the academy, so that they could use this paper to copy books. In the past, books were made of parchment paper. Generally, books could not write many words, and they were very heavy and expensive. Now they have been replaced with paper. The original content of more than a dozen parchment papers can be easily handled in one book.

The first batch of paper was not very large, but after the first batch was made, the second batch of paper was made faster and the number increased several times. Most of the paper in the lord castle is sent to the city hall for use in recording and reporting data, as well as various official documents.

In Zhenbei City, the college, after seeing a cart of yellowed paper being delivered, those scholars were very curious about this kind of paper, and soon a steward stepped forward to hand it over.

"Morley, this is the paper that the lord asked us to send. Please confirm the quantity and move the paper back when you are done." A middle-aged man walked over and said.

"Is this the paper that Lord Lord said?" The man named Morey walked over and picked up a piece of paper and asked. "Lord Lord let us use this kind of paper to copy books."

"However, this paper is much thinner than parchment paper. If it can really write, the content of a book on such paper is several times that of parchment paper."

"Why do I think this kind of paper is not easy to preserve?"

"Who knows, the Lord's order is something we can refuse?"

"Everyone, this is specially sent to the academy by the lord, and let us transcribe the books. Let's recruit them. Let's do it all, and move the papers down first." Morey greeted everyone and said.

With the efforts of many students in the academy, these papers were quickly sent to an empty room.

"Paper is susceptible to moisture, so keep it dry when storing it."

After the paper was distributed, those scholars quickly began to use paper to copy books. When using it, these scholars discovered the convenience of paper, although compared with parchment paper, these papers have many disadvantages, such as being easily damaged, not easy to preserve, and rough. However, it is still widely praised by those scholars.

Suren held a newly completed manuscript book, which had been bound as he had requested, instead of a parchment roll. The surface of the book is a little rough and looks very simple, but it is much more convenient than the previous parchment rolls.

"Someone!" Su Lun put down the book and shouted outside the door.

"Sir, what are your orders?" a guard said respectfully.

"Tell Morey that books will be made in this style in the future. These books can only be read in the academy. They cannot be taken out without my permission, and must not be damaged. Violators will be severely punished. In addition, notify Morey to build a school in the academy. A library, dedicated to storing all kinds of books."

"Yes." The guard ordered to leave.

With the advent of paper, the education of the college has also become easier. In the past, only the teacher had a book, but now almost every student has one. Also with books to record, these students' learning speed has also improved a lot.

After finishing the school affairs, Su Lun began to focus on other things.

The number of slaves in the territory has been increasing during this period of time, especially after the harpies came, because Suren asked Alex to take the harpies to train troops, and to deal with the goblins, kobolds, and gnolls in the wasteland. And the orc tribes attacked.

Zhenbei City acquired a large number of slaves. The orcs thought that the war was heavy. Even the orc chiefs were killed, and the remaining orc tribes fell apart. The half-crippled centaur tribes who were attacked by the orcs also joined Zhenbei City.

The two overlords in the original wasteland suddenly disappeared, and Zhenbei City was unable to occupy the territory of the original orcs and centaurs, which caused a brief vacuum in this wasteland, and small and medium-sized tribes in other areas of the northern wasteland began to move here. Migrate, refill this area.

For these small and medium-sized tribes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In order to compete for these grasslands, plains and other living spaces, during this period of time, there have been several wars that the tribes have only seen. Su Lun released the army of Zhenbei City and the newly added harpy to let them train and upgrade, and capture slaves by the way.

With the military activities of Zhenbei City, the number of slaves in the territory quickly exceeded 10,000, the largest number of which were goblins and kobolds, followed by gnolls and orcs. There are losses, and there is a high chance that some spellcasters will be born in those medium-sized tribes.

The kobold warlock has the highest chance of appearing. After suffering a few losses, the army of Zhenbei City will solve them as soon as they find warlocks or shamans. Due to the increase of slaves and refugees, the food consumption of Zhenbei City also increased suddenly.

Fortunately, there are enough grain reserves in Zhenbei City, and there is a harvest altar, so there is no need to worry about food shortages.

After a year of development, Zhenbei City has gained a lot of fame in the northern provinces. There should be many bankrupt peasants, and small businessmen began to come spontaneously. The population of Zhenbei City has grown rapidly. Slaves, Jinghu City, Centaur City, and Zhenbei City already have a population of more than 22,000 people.

Sufficient labor resources allowed Su Lun to speed up the construction of the Arc de Triomphe. Before, due to the establishment of Jinghu City and Centaur City, Zhenbei City had transferred about half of the slaves. Construction has accelerated.

As the second wonder building in Zhenbei City, the Arc de Triomphe was built to praise Su Lun, so it was naturally the top priority. The pure white marble was mined from the Lotas Mountains, and then transported to Zhenbei City by camel beasts, before being used after being polished by a mason.

Pieces of marble were polished smooth and flat, and then dragged over by slaves. Each piece of these marbles weighed one ton, and some larger ones even weighed more than three tons. The middle door of the three door openings of the Arc de Triomphe is ten meters wide, and the small door openings on both sides are also six meters wide.

The entire Arc de Triomphe spans on Xuri Street, the main street of Zhenbei City. After Xuri Street passes through the Arc de Triomphe, it is the central square. The height of the doorway is 19 meters. After the construction of this Arc de Triomphe is completed, it will be second only to the Harvest Altar in Zhenbei City. of tall buildings.

The inner wall of the doorway is carved with lifelike reliefs. These reliefs are pictures of Su Lun's victory over the enemy. From the first gnoll, to the later ice pterosaur, to trolls, orcs, etc., many battles, after those After the master carvers did some artistic processing, even Su Lun had a feeling of watching the epic.

With sufficient manpower, the construction of the Arc de Triomphe is very fast. In many cases, Karina and Grace are still required to use various spells to help in the construction. The arched openings of the Arc de Triomphe are very heavy, and it is very difficult to move the Arc de Triomphe just by relying on the current manpower technology. , but this is just a bit of a hassle for wizards.

With the joint efforts of two fourth-order superhuman-level warlocks, this marble weighing at least tens of tons was successfully transported up. After the topping was completed, the construction of the Arc de Triomphe was more than half completed. Which carving artisans were needed for the rest? Marble is carved.

After these marbles are placed, Karina and Grace still need to turn mud into stone to fuse the original pieces of marble into a whole. When the Arc de Triomphe is completed, it will be a whole.

After a lot of construction, Zhenbei City has cultivated a group of skilled carving craftsmen. Suren found Hathaway and asked her to make some tools specially used to carve stone. These tools can carve marble more easily. With these tool bonuses, the shape of the Arc de Triomphe can be carved very quickly.

After all the carvings were completed, the Arc de Triomphe was also blessed with sclerosis. The sclerosis was first used to build the floating city during the Arcane Empire. The effect of this spell is permanent. When cast, even a piece of wood becomes as strong as steel.

It is said that the defenses of those floating cities in the era of the Arcane Empire could resist the meteorite, the strongest spell of the Prophecy Department, without being hurt. After the Arcane Empire disappeared, the later wizards always wanted to build a floating city, but they failed for various reasons. The biggest problem was energy.

The powerful energy required to raise a city, it is said that every floating city has a Miser energy core to provide energy, but I know that no wizard has discovered this kind of thing, even this kind of Miser energy core. The manufacturing process is unknown.

After being unable to build a floating city, the wizards retreated and built wizard towers. Of course, there were also wizards who built floating towers. These wizard towers were all built with obsidian, and then added hardening. The degree of hardness is very high.

In order not to damage the Arc de Triomphe, Su Lun also added sclerosis to it. This is a lot of work, and even Hathaway was caught by him to work together.

It took a few days for the entire Arc de Triomphe to be blessed with sclerosis, but the Arc de Triomphe still has the final process to complete.

Su Lun followed the stairs in the Arc de Triomphe and entered the interior of the Arc de Triomphe. There was a room inside the Arc de Triomphe, which was used to store the battle soul stones. Su Lun took the battle spirit stone from the storage space. The purple battle spirit stone looked very beautiful. When he came to the altar in the center of the room, Su Lun took a deep breath and put the battle spirit stone on the base of the altar. superior.
