Chapter 88 Amazing harvest
Seeing the blacksmiths repairing weapons and equipment in the military camp and all making harvesting tools, you can imagine how amazing the amount of crops harvested is.
This is a tool that was planned beforehand, otherwise the blacksmiths' work would be even heavier.
With so much manpower and material resources invested, the amount of food that can be harvested this time will definitely be an astronomical figure. With this massive amount of food, some plans can be implemented.
Zhang Weidao has asked the fishmen to contact Booty Bay and recruit some engineering technicians from them to help. Otherwise, if Garron is relied on alone, the manufacturing speed will never be able to be completed in time.
Zhang Weidao left the blacksmith shop and walked around the military camp again. He found that even the gnoll leaders had gone to harvest grain, so he left the fortress and joined the harvesting army.
But what he used to cut the wheat was the one-handed sword that was often used for throwing. The sharp blade was just suitable for cutting the wheat.
The true energy is poured into the already sharp blade, which greatly enhances the sharpness of the blade. It can cut through wheat stalks with a gentle push.
Zhang Weidao swung his sword casually, causing pieces of wheat to fall wherever it passed, and he could barely feel the force on the sword's blade.
It's just that having to bend down during harvesting is too tiring. Even though my physique is already inhumanly strong, I still can't stand bending down for a long time.
Not far away, a gnoll soldier stood up, thumped his back and twisted his waist for a while, then bent down again to continue harvesting.
No wonder humans would ask goblins to help them build wheat field puppets, which can both drive away birds and beasts and harvest crops. They bought such a good thing without hesitation.
It's a pity that the wheat field puppets were destroyed by those violent maniacs when the orcs invaded the Western Wilderness. Those savage guys just cut down everything they could move and didn't care whether the things in front of them were useful or not.
Zhang Weidao is very much looking forward to hiring engineering technicians, who can be useful in many ways.
Regardless of whether they are dwarfs or goblins, they are all experts in engineering. They can easily create many high-precision parts.
Although technology cannot truly dominate the world, it can still play a great role in Zhang Weidao's hands.
As a time traveler, he has seen too many successful scientific and technological concepts. He can give many useful suggestions to this person who has technology and theory but does not know how to use a more appropriate engineering system.
Just like those wheat field puppets that can work automatically, if a large harvester was designed at that time, maybe the orcs would stay and use it during harvesting, and there would be a chance that it would fall into Zhang Weidao's hands.
And these wheat field puppets are set to actively attack intruders. If they see an orc, they will go up and scratch them. It would be strange if they are not exploded with an axe.
Zhang Weidao looked at the endless golden waves of wheat and cursed the orc who dismantled his wheat field puppets again. He did not think that those wheat field puppets belonged to the farmer at that time and had nothing to do with him.
And many of the orcs have died in the war he initiated.
In fact, anyone who sees the endless wheat fields will be driven crazy because they all need to be harvested by human hands!
The total manpower that can be used is only more than 500,000, but they have to do the work of millions of people in the original western wilderness. This is really fucked up.
Judging from the time of departure of the murlocs, the murlocs going to Booty Bay should have posted flyers. Now it depends on the action capabilities of those money-hungry goblins.
Zhang Weidao had a lot of gold coins in his hands. At least half of the property that the Storm Kingdom had no time to take away was in his hands.
A lot of the property that the orcs looted after breaking through the city was not moved away. As the garrison was destroyed by Zhang Weidao, all that property fell into his hands.
Gold coins, as much as you want, will definitely drive goblins crazy.
Now we have all the gold coins, all we need is the goblins!
After a busy morning, we enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at noon. When we finished work in the afternoon, many people were complaining and couldn't straighten their waists.
Of course, this does not include kobolds and fishmen. These guys are particularly suitable when harvesting wheat. There is no such thing as bending down. Other races can only watch these little dwarfs harvesting wheat with envy.
Among all the people present, Zhang Weidao was the most relaxed. He was too tired to bend down and started to think of other ways, directly using his mental power to control the one-handed sword to cut the wheat.
Mental power controlled the sword blade a few centimeters off the ground, and with such a fierce push, the pieces of wheat fell down. With an effective control range of five meters in radius, Zhang Weidao only needed to move a few positions to harvest an acre.
Wheat field.
The harvesting speed was faster than a combine harvester. Those who couldn't bear the sore backs ran over to carry the harvested wheat behind them. Zhang Weidao could harvest at a speed faster than a hundred people, and he had more than 20 people behind him specifically to carry it.
Barely keeping up with his speed.
However, mental energy is also consumed a lot. If you can't harvest more than ten acres of land, you have to stop and exercise your energy and adjust your breathing. You can continue harvesting after your mental energy is restored.
The main reason is that this super-heavy one-handed sword weighing more than 20 kilograms is too heavy. If you use a one-handed sword that weighs two or three kilograms on earth, the efficiency can be improved a lot.
It's a pity for these guys who always use weight and volume to measure the quality of weapons and equipment. They only care about the forging index of whether a weapon is large and heavy enough. Almost the entire industry has this kind of thinking.
The production requirements put forward by Zhang Weidao were completely heretical. If he hadn't been so proud, he would have been blacklisted by the blacksmiths long ago.
Recently, Zhang Weidao saw Garroen preparing a new weapon for him. It was a giant sword as tall as a man, but the material was changed to true silver. It is said that true silver is a material that is very suitable for sacred attributes.
Besides ingots, it is the most suitable material for making weapons for Zhang Weidao.
Lightforge ingots are only produced in small quantities by the night elves, and the night elves basically do not do business with foreigners. Therefore, lightforge ingots can only be shipped in small quantities on the black market, and it is impossible to get enough materials to make a great sword.
When the night elves enter the alliance in the future, they can consider acquiring some artifact-like materials like light ingots.
When everyone finished their work and returned to the gathering place outside the mine, the processed wheat grains were already piled in the open space.
Zhang Weidao looked at the mountains of wheat grains. This was the first day's harvest. It was enough for everyone to eat for a year. No wonder in the western wilderness of the future time and space, even if bandits are rampant and the fields are barren, they can feed the entire kingdom.
This is a typical place where there are many people but few people.
When Zhang Weidao was living in Elwynn Forest, he was still wondering why there was nothing else on the farm except fruits. It turned out that there was no need to grow food at all. There are also many races that do not farm at all, and it is enough to just buy food from various human countries.
.
For this world, food shortages are unimaginable. No wonder those orcs didn't care if Zhang Weidao confiscated the food base. As long as you have money and food, there is no need to gnaw on this hard nut.
Such an astonishing harvest also makes Zhang Weidao more confident about future development. When he has no worries about money and food, he only needs to consider developing more people. Population is a hard indicator of development, whether it is production or food.
