After the soldiers who had finished training in the morning came over to help, Zhang Weidao took Xiao Hui to the shipyard to see the design of the new ship. The shipyard was already designing ships suitable for passage in the river. According to the widened river

It was decided to build a ship with a displacement of about one thousand tons, which could meet the needs of transporting people and materials within the river.

It can also be used as an offshore fishing boat, and can even be converted into a warship after cannons are produced. The more than 40-meter-long hull is enough to install more than a dozen cannons, which is enough to kill ordinary pirates.

Zhang Weidao is very satisfied with this kind of comprehensive ship. Thanks to the knowledgeable ship designers among the refugees, he can design a ship that can meet all needs in a short period of time.

I inspected the simple open-air shipbuilding yard and saw that the lifting frames for ship construction were being set up, as well as the cables and sails that had begun to be weaved.

Zhang Weidao suddenly thought that sails on inland rivers were not very effective, and the boat would not be able to run without wind and against the current. So he called designers and craftsmen over and drew a simple diagram on the ground of using an impeller to power the hull.

Seeing this early ship concept with impellers on the side of the hull, ship designers and craftsmen were instantly attracted. Design optimization ideas were put forward one by one, and after some discussion they were adopted or rejected, and the specific details were quickly finalized.

change plan.

Zhang Weidao is very satisfied with the improved hybrid boat. This kind of power is provided by pedaling in the cabin, which is much more convenient than rowing with oars. Rowing with oars is very tiring. It is more convenient to pedal in the cabin and rely on one's own power.

The weight makes it easy to drive.

After leaving the shipyard and returning to the camp, Zhang Weidao called Jiage and explored to the south. There is a Fagedi mine in the south of Jinjin Town. Where there is a mine, there is a kobold tribe. Zhang Weidao planned to pay homage first and then attack.

Let Jiage negotiate first, and if that doesn't work, use a stick to persuade them.

There were no obvious trampling marks along the way. It seemed that the residents of the mine and the farm rarely walked from the forest. Occasionally there were big spiders or forest wolves along the way, but they were scared away by Xiao Hui. There was the most powerful grizzly bear in the forest.

Clear the way, and no animals without eyes will come to die along the way.

The two of them walked for about an hour, and finally a vague building appeared in front of them. It seemed that they had found their destination. They walked towards the place that looked like a mill, and after a short distance, they could clearly see the whole farm.

, looks like a small village consisting of dozens of buildings.

In reality, it's not like a farm in the game that only has a few houses. In fact, a farm cannot operate without dozens of households, and there is also a mining area between the two farms.

If this area had not been invaded by orcs, it would have been a gathering place for at least a thousand people. It would have been the largest gathering place in Elwynn Forest after Goldshire.

As the distance to the village shortened, Zhang Weidao saw someone standing guard on the village wall. It seemed that someone had ventured back to live in this remote village. The militiamen on guard on the village wall saw Zhang Weidao's strange combination and sounded the bell first.

He set off the alarm bell at the sentry post and sent someone over to inquire about the situation.

The militiamen running from the gate were a little afraid to come forward after seeing Xiao Hui, and shouted from a distance: "Who are you? The orc army is attacking Stormwind City outside, how can you still dare to run around?"

Zhang Weidao replied calmly: "The orc army has already conquered Stormwind City, and is now heading north to conquer the entire continent." After a pause, he changed his words, "However, the remaining orc army in this area has been wiped out by us.

It is impossible for the orcs to fight back for the time being, so you can live your life with peace of mind."

The militiamen inquired about the detailed battle situation in Elwynn Forest and learned that the orc army left behind had been wiped out by Zhang Weidao and his men. Looking at the human and the kobold leisurely wandering in the forest, it didn't look like they were fleeing with nothing at all.

It seems that I basically believe the news that the orc threat has disappeared.

After taking a look at the militiamen who were happily running towards the village, Zhang Weidao led Jiage and Xiao Hui to continue walking to the west. The hill in the west should be the Fargodi Mine.

After getting closer, he saw the entrance of the wooden hut embedded in the mountain. Zhang Weidao was completely reassured. This kind of wooden hut with a gable roof is a standard feature of human mines.

After arranging Xiao Hui to guard the mine exit in the canyon below, Zhang Weidao and Jiage walked into the mine entrance close to the ground. From time to time, they could see daily utensils abandoned by humans along the way. It seemed that the humans in the village were hiding here.

Only in the mines can one escape the genocide of the orcs.

Looking at the relatively new mine cars and tracks in this mine, Zhang Weidao thought that this mine in the game seemed to be able to dig out gold sand. Although the gold content of gold sand is not as high as gold ore, the special purification process in this world can easily obtain gold.

When Jage was refining herbs, he mentioned that he could use magic to refine gold.

Thinking that there might be a resource like gold sand here, and if he could hold it in his hands, there would be a steady stream of gold coins, Zhang Weidao quickened his pace and walked into the cave. Jiage was also very excited when he heard that the mine might produce gold sand, which could be exchanged for various things.

This material is a hard currency that is more valuable when purified and cast into gold coins.

After turning two corners in the twists and turns of the mine, the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding" mining began to be heard from the front. Zhang Weidao pulled out a sleeper from the track under his feet. Jiage's eyelids twitched when he saw such a thick piece of wood.

Half of my life was lost after being struck by the stick. I can only pray that those compatriots are wise enough to surrender decisively when the stick is swung.

When Zhang Weidao appeared in front of the mining kobolds with a sleeper, the miners all stopped swinging their hoes at the rocks. After a stalemate for a few seconds, they swarmed towards Zhang Weidao with their hoes raised.

The miners also shouted, "Get rid of him! He wants to steal our candles!" However, as soon as dozens of miners came face to face, four or five sleepers were blown away by the oncoming sleepers, and several dog heads were blown away.

The people once again overwhelmed a large number of our own people.

The miners who had been trying to beat Zhang Weidao away a moment ago were silent. They all stood there staring at the terrible big stick and did not dare to move forward. At this time, the miners who were stunned and fell still couldn't figure out the situation. After getting up,

Cursing, he continued to rush towards Zhang Weidao with his mining hoe, completely ignoring the kind-hearted dissuasion of his companions behind him.

Zhang Weidao also came up unceremoniously and knocked each one over with a stick. The kobold miners who were knocked to the ground all lost the ability to resist and could only let out moans and groans. The kobold miners who did not rush up looked at it.

In the end, I was glad that I rushed slowly. If I had run ahead, I would have turned into the unlucky ones on the ground who could only groan.

The stalled kobold miners were confronting Zhang Weidao. The miners who had already been alert ran to the depths of the deep mine. This was the time to move the rescuers. Within a few minutes, a chaotic sound was heard deep in the mine.
