Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 343

[Chapter 341 Construction of large waterwheels and preparation for digging canals (2)]

Riding a carriage pulled by monsters, Allen, Oliver, and a group of accompanying knights arrived at the first destination.

This is one of the rivers with the largest water flow in the Principality of Allen. According to Allen’s request, there is a small and medium-sized waterfall.

This made Allen still quite satisfied.

Where there is water, waterwheels can naturally be placed.

Don’t look at the inconspicuous waterwheel, this thing is the crystallization of human wisdom and can provide power.

And its own metallurgical plant also needs to use waterwheels to provide some power.

In addition, waterwheels also play a significant role in agriculture. They can easily irrigate a large number of farmlands. If some canals are being built, it will be great for the development of agriculture.

It can be said that one thing is multi-purpose. After all, it is produced by the system, and their effect far exceeds that of ordinary waterwheels.

“boom!”

The sound of the waterfall is very loud, but it does not affect the communication between Alan and Oliver.

“This place is good, if possible, we can get a hydroelectric power plant…”

Allen touched his chin and looked at the waterfall in front of him.

It’s just that electricity is like oil to Allen.

This thing Alan also knows it works, but how?

Although the buildings produced by the system can also train the technical operation staff of the department.

But it’s just operators, and no one has real technology.

Besides, in this magical world, many powers can completely replace electricity, and even the buildings produced by Allen’s system, even the metallurgical plants, are different from those on the earth in the previous life.

The metallurgical factory after the magic reform has more or less the style of this world, and the required energy can be completely replaced by the magic stone.

“power plant?”

Oliver is a little confused on the side, what is this?

Allen shook his head: “Forget about the power plant, it’s not bad here.”

Allen abandoned the power plant.

“That’s good, Grand Duke. In addition to this, I have also selected some places in various rivers in the Principality of Ellen.”

Oliver holds the map of the Principality of Allen in his hand. There are a lot of rivers in the Principality of Allen, and the densely packed locations are marked in red. This is just one of them.

“Oh, looks good. r.”

Allen patted Oliver on the shoulder: “What can you do unexpectedly, Oliver.”

“Just to not disappoint the Archduke.” Oliver smiled slightly. “Show me the map.” Allen took the map casually.

There are not only the marks of water flow on it, but also the marks of some plain places with strong wind elements.

It can be seen that the Minister of Industry works very hard. “Very well, Oliver, you didn’t disappoint me.”

Allen said with a smile: “If that’s the case, then I’ll build some large waterwheels here, don’t waste this waterfall.”

Allen said that he walked to the edge of the waterfall and chose a position. The next moment, a white light emerged, and a huge circular waterwheel appeared in front of everyone. “this?!”

Oliver’s eyes widened. Compared to other ministers who had been with Allen for a long time, his time with Allen was very short.

Although he understands Allen’s terrifying strength and bloody means.

But he really hadn’t seen Allen perform miracles in public. “miracle!”

“This is a miracle!”

Oliver’s big bald head oozes out a layer of fine sweat, and the white and fat face has become even more red.

This is probably how ordinary people see miracles.

Allen ignored Oliver. He just observed the appearance of this large waterwheel. It was not bad, and the material would not rot if soaked in water for hundreds of years.

And the most important thing is that this waterwheel is huge.

“A large waterwheel can solve the irrigation problem of tens of thousands of acres of land, and can also provide some power to the metallurgical plant.” Allen is still satisfied with this. “Grand Duke, what building is this?” Oliver asked.

“Waterwheels, tools that harness water power, irrigate farmland and power metallurgical plants,” Allen explained.

“Waterwheel? Can I irrigate farmland?”

Oliver’s eyes lit up, he was not stupid, and soon discovered the mystery of the waterwheel. “It turns out that your wisdom and divine power are amazing.”

Oliver was slightly moved.

“Oliver, this thing is related to both industry and agriculture. I have found out before that it is too laborious for civilians to irrigate farmland or manually transport river water.”

Allen smiled: “Because Bacchus is still in Moore’s Land, you know that he is trying to complete the plan of four crops a year, so you can deal with the waterwheel together, whether it is agricultural Still industrial.”

Allen spoke to Oliver.

“It’s natural, if you need it, I can do whatever it is.”

Oliver said respectfully.

“Very well, you will need to convene the civilians in the surrounding cities and towns later. We need to dig channels so that the water flow can irrigate farmland better and more efficiently. As for what a canal is…”

Allen told Oliver some of the water channel knowledge he had mastered. After Oliver heard it, a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

“/Really great wisdom! Waterwheels and canals, this way, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources. It is a great thing for agriculture. Don’t worry, my lord, I will immediately call the civilians here to build the canals.”

“No, it should be the construction of canals all over the country. This is a big project.”

Oliver finally understands why Alan asked him to find some suitable places throughout the principality.

The grand duke’s wisdom is terrifying.

“Well, don’t worry. Although the waterwheel is also of great help to agriculture, don’t forget that you are the Minister of Industry.”

Alan looked at the excited Minister of Industry in front of him who wanted to act immediately and said with a smile.

“Yes, I am the Minister of Industry.”

Oliver was stunned when he heard the words: “Grand Duke, what is the metallurgical plant you just mentioned? Does it have anything to do with industry (Qian Zhaozhao)?”

Allen nodded: “Of course, but before buying a manufacturing metallurgical plant, we need to cultivate some special talents.”

“A special talent?”

Oliver became more and more confused: “Sir, isn’t the school where talents are cultivated?”

“No, unlike students, they are workers.”

As Alan spoke, he built two more large waterwheels under the waterfall.

The waterwheel is huge, and only three waterwheels can be accommodated under this small and medium-sized waterfall.

After doing this, Allen took Oliver away from the waterfall and turned towards a small town not far away.

He now needs to build some junior metallurgical knowledge and technology training bases, which are used to train workers who can work in junior metallurgical plants.

Before building the metallurgical plant, Allen needed to train some employees to work for him.

That’s why he asked Oliver to recruit some young people first.
