With the thorns worm reward in hand, Liszt looked at the new task.
Almost as soon as he finished reading, he exclaimed because the task reward was very unexpected.
"Task: The construction of the territory is in full swing, but there is a lack of transportation. Transporting materials costs manpower and material resources. As a lord with a very broad vision and a rich reserve of knowledge, why not find a way to solve this problem and invent a new type of cart to save transportation costs? Reward: The Fallen Sky Ship. "
The task content was unremarkable. The so-called transportation that saved manpower and material resources was not difficult at all in his view.
Cars and trains were unlikely, but bicycles and tricycles could still be made. However, he had a more worry-free solution – the unicycle cart.
This was the transportation he had wanted to invent for a long time.
For a long time, Liszt did not implement many of his inventions. He always felt that he had been tinkering with modern civilization technology. If it was learned by others, it would not be worth it. Because he was only a small noble, he could not protect his industry and the fruits of his labor.
However, now he was a Sky Knight and had the Earl as his backing.
In the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, it was a powerful force that could protect his achievements. Therefore, he planned to develop those inventions step by step – wheelbarrows, crooked plows, white paper, perfume … He even wanted to introduce entertainment industries – poker, mahjong, football, drama, and so on.
As long as he could make money, he could do anything.
Of course, these inventions needed to be done slowly and could not be rushed. After all, everything in the territory was still in its initial stage, and there was no spare energy to develop new industries.
He shook his head.
His attention was more focused on the reward of the smoke task.
"The Fallen Sky Ship, what does this mean? Does it mean that there is a Sky Ship flying in the sky and suddenly fell into my territory? Or a Sky Ship that has long fallen and was found somewhere in the territory? "He grasped the key point of the reward." So, what is a Sky Ship? "
There was a memory in his mind, quickly emerging.
It was the first volume of the poem in "The Diary of a Descendant of the Sun".
The author, Philip, wrote a paragraph like an article and a poem on the first page of the diary.
…
On Grandpa's back, there was such a tattoo.
He said that his father had the same tattoo on his back.
I asked him, "Why isn't there one on my father's back or mine?"
He said, our ancestors have abandoned us, the sun pattern we can no longer bear.
I don't know what it means.
Grandpa said that we were exiled from our hometown to the land of sin, and we could only return after five hundred years.
Five hundred years later, there will be a ship sailing in the sky, under the sunlight, to welcome us back.
Five hundred years had passed, but the Sky Ship never came.
…
It was not difficult to understand the meaning of this poem. Philip's ancestors came from a continent outside the Devil's Sea. They called themselves the Children of the Sun, and this race probably mastered the profound use of magic. This could be seen from the fact that they could produce exquisite magic equipment like the Floating Bottle.
They were brought to the Dodu Island by Liu Fang, and agreed that after five hundred years, they would be cleansed of their sins, and someone would come to pick them up on a ship in the sky.
But he didn't.
"So, the Sky Ship is some kind of vehicle created by the Sun's Child? Do they rely on flying ships when they go to sea? "
"And I'm about to obtain a fallen sky ship?"
"Or could it be that the Sky Ship that came to pick up the descendants of the Sun Clan is flying towards me and will fall down by accident?"
He imagined all kinds of possibilities in an instant, but because there were too few clues, he could not be sure.
He could only complete the task as soon as possible and prepare for defense. Who knew what the origin of the Sky Ship was, whether there really was a race called the Children of the Sun, and whether it would pose a threat to the territory.
He quickly issued an order to send a letter to Markus on Black Horse Island, telling him not to slack off in the training of the Knight squad. He also told Paris to form patrol Orders of Chivalry as soon as possible and to start guard patrols on Black Horse Island. Ensure the security of the territory and monitor everything in the territory at all times.
He himself went to the carpentry workshop to complete the task first. The sooner the wheelbarrow was invented, the sooner the construction of the territory could be completed.
The carpentry workshop was still busy.
Carpenters and carpenter apprentices, as well as carvers, were constantly cutting wood, polishing corners, and carving patterns. Seeing the arrival of the Lord, they put down their work and saluted Liszt. The steward of the carpentry workshop smiled like a henchman and complimented the arrival of Liszt.
"My Lord, the quality of the products of our carpentry workshop has been improving. The carpenters among the new serfs you brought have provided us with many mainland utensils. Now we are digesting these new utensils and striving to create new products to increase income."
The word "income" originated from Liszt.
He once told these stewards that generating income was the primary task of every workshop.
Motioning for the carpenters to continue working, Liszt asked the steward to call in some of the most skilled carpenters, and then began to sketch out his own design. "Gentlemen carpenters, do you all know how to make carriages?"
"Yes, my Lord."
"Very well, I have brought a new plan for making carriages today. This is a sketch. Look carefully, it is called a wheelbarrow. It can be pushed with only one wheel. It is similar to a two-wheeled scooter, but it is more convenient and suitable for walking on rugged roads. "
The carpenters surrounded the sketch and exclaimed: "What a beautiful wheelbarrow. Can one really stand on one wheel?"
"With two poles supporting it, it should not fall to the ground."
"Yes, it looks as stable as a scooter, and a little smaller. One wheel can even push a field ridge."
"It really is a wonderful design!"
When the carpenters finished sighing, Liszt continued: "The shape of the wheelbarrow can vary. Look at this sketch, the wheelbarrow has a bucket that can be filled with grain, gravel, sand, and so on. It can even transport water if it is sealed. Look at this one, the wooden planks on both sides can be stacked with as many bags as you want. "
He had brought a lot of sketches.
After the first introduction, he moved on to another one. "Let's look at this one. A wheelbarrow is basically a few wooden sticks and a wheel. It can be so simple … Of course, it doesn't have to be a wheelbarrow. A wheelbarrow with two wheels is fine as well. For a wheelbarrow with a bucket like this, you can directly flip it over by holding onto the handlebars."
All kinds of wheelbarrows and carts.
They were all in Liszt's drawings.
The carpenters greedily stared at each sketch – they knew that every kind of woodworking tool was a skill worth inheriting. The more skills they mastered, the more benefits they could obtain.
"Your next task is to master the production of wheelbarrows and carts as soon as possible. Produce them as soon as possible and deliver them to the territory for use."
"My Lord, please rest assured that we will complete the wheelbarrows and carts as soon as possible." The steward vowed. He was also a carpenter and knew that it was not difficult to make these carts.
"Remember to keep it a secret. I do not want to hear any news about the wheelbarrows and carts being leaked."
It was impossible to keep it a secret forever. Liszt only hoped to keep it a secret for as long as possible. When the output of the carpentry workshop increased, he could take the opportunity to sell them to the outside world and make a profit.
One does not know the cost of firewood unless one is in charge.
