After the others left, the study was quiet again. Facing Fiona's playful eyes, Tang En blushed and picked up the teacup to hide it. Then, he suddenly thought of something important.
"Brian, how's your research on the lens going? Is there any news from Klotto? "
The microscope was related to the development of Seiko. After all, Klotto had the foundation of dwarven technology. If there was progress on his side, Tang En would not have to waste his energy on the microscope.
Brian scratched his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "We haven't made any progress on our side, but according to Nokia, Master Klotto seems to be making good progress."
Tang En's spirit was lifted. He immediately asked Brian to call Nokia over. He wanted to know about the progress in this area.
After Nokia arrived, he said straightforwardly, "Master Klotto has already restored a prototype based on the records and the principles provided by Mr. Twain."
"Prototype?"
"Yes, the prototype of the Master Engineer Glasses!"
Nokia said excitedly, "Master Klotto has been reading the documents excavated from the ruins without sleep for the past few days and finally succeeded in creating a prototype. Although it's just a prototype, it already has a direction, and he has already tried to use it. He only has one thing to say about it — the opportunity for the rise of dwarven technology has arrived!"
Tang En did not expect the microscope to be so important to dwarven technology. He asked with interest, "Is the Master Engineer Glasses that important?"
"Yes! It can be said that the Master Engineer Glasses and the Dwarf Army Knife are two indispensable tools for dwarven engineers. Before this, we only had the Dwarf Army Knife! "
Nokia showed the Dwarf Army Knife hanging on his belt. It came with a lot of professional engineering tools that could be retracted. He said, "The Dwarf Army Knife gives us the ability to adjust the equipment at any time, anywhere, but the Master Engineer Glasses are more important. With it, we can find the problem in the first place and help us with maintenance, adjustment, and other work. After my precise calculations, with the Master Engineer Glasses, our efficiency can be increased by at least 198.84%!"
Although Tang En did not understand why it was 198.84%, an increase of almost twice the efficiency was quite a scary number. However, he was more concerned about another thing.
"From what you've said, the Master Engineer Glasses isn't just a simple microscope. Does it have other uses?"
"Yes, the Master Engineer Glasses are equipped with an upgradeable module. There are many replacement modules that can be equipped."
Nokia said excitedly, "When paired with an optical filter, we can observe the stability of the internal energy circuit, as well as the structure and fine wear between the parts. We can perform precise operations. When paired with a fault regulator, we can analyze the engineering equipment immediately and find out where the problem lies. When paired with a micro-sensor, it can help us lock down the fault and eliminate other interference. When paired with a high-energy welder, it can help us conveniently weld the target … In short, the Master Engineer Glasses are very important! And the most basic optical filter is the indispensable core of the Master Engineer Glasses. "
Tang En suddenly realized that this optical filter was a head-mounted microscope.
"Master Klotto has recently completed the basic test. Once the test is complete, he will order the factory to mass produce the Master Engineer Glasses. When the time comes, he will produce a batch according to human size for you to try."
Tang En was overjoyed. "Thank Master Klotto for me."
With this kind of convenient multifunctional auxiliary glasses, it was foreseeable that the efficiency of the Magic Engineering Research Institute and the existing technology would be greatly improved. Perhaps the mass production of the magic pistol would be completed by relying on the Master Engineer Glasses.
After sending Brian and Nokia off, and coaxing Elijah to go back with them, Tang En thought of another very important matter.
It was now the beginning of the Month of Recovery, the best time for spring planting. After returning from Taris, he had not paid attention to Ellington's spring planting.
"Fiona, how are the arrangements for spring planting now?"
Fiona looked at Tang En with a bitter face. "My Lord, you finally care about this matter."
Tang En touched his nose a little awkwardly. "I've been too busy recently, and I can't relax on Girard's side."
Although Girard's war with Taris was related to the future of Ellington, the spring planting was also related to the people of Ellington. It was an important issue that could not be ignored.
Fiona opened the book and looked at it. "Now, all the magic energy tillers have been tested and repaired. They are all in perfect condition and can be started at any time."
"Our Great Tang harvester caravan for the autumn harvest has been converted to a farming caravan for the spring harvest. Several days ago, we set off with two hundred magic energy tillers and a large amount of propaganda materials for Ellington."
"Although independence has been declared, because Girard's energy is now focused on Taris, Ellington did not set up too strict a defense line, so the farming team can smoothly go to the surrounding towns."
"In addition, due to the expansion of the territory, Kasparmi also needs the magic energy tillers, so we have been working overtime recently. Currently, we have produced 1,000 magic energy tillers for our own use. The team has taken away 200, so there are still 800 left. But according to the current registered cultivation area, there is still a shortfall of 300 units. It is estimated that it will take half a month to complete the production work."
"However, half a month's time will affect the spring planting. Therefore, I suggest that we split up the existing 800 units and transfer 300 of them to Kasparmi territory to satisfy the farming work in Kasparmi territory's area."
"As for the farming team, they can set off east and take the route of the mountain city of Bein, the stone city of Preston, and the water city of Paganis."
"Sir Gary's construction team is now between Bein and Preston. Now that Ellington can take a flat cement road to Bein, the efficiency of the farming team can be greatly improved. There is no need to worry about time."
Aurelia was a little puzzled. "Why not satisfy Ellington's needs first? After all, Ellington is our foundation. "
When Tang En heard Aurelia say "our foundation," he said very happily, "This is actually very easy to understand because the production of the magic energy tillers is done in Ellington. They can be put to use immediately after they are produced here. But Kasparmi is different. There is transportation time in between, which will affect the efficiency …"
"Exactly."
Fiona nodded and explained, "And because we have the help of the elemental creatures in Ellington, the efficiency won't be too low even without the magic energy tillers. When enough magic energy tillers are produced, the lagging efficiency will be quickly made up for."
Aurelia suddenly understood. "I see."
"But …"
Fiona closed the book and stared at Tang En. "The tillers are already in place. My lord, where are the new high-yield seeds you promised us? Now, every day is a day of delay. Many farmers are already anxious. If it weren't for your prestige, they would have secretly started farming long ago. "
Tang En slapped his forehead. "Look at me! I forgot about this! Leave the matter of the seeds to me. These days have passed, and Grandia should have already produced a lot of seeds. "
Fiona asked, "Can you tell me how much the yield of the new grain seeds will increase?"
Knowing the increase in yield, Fiona could estimate the yield of the autumn harvest in advance and at the same time carry out the next step of planning. The large increase in population would bring about a huge pressure on food. Whether it was purchasing or expanding the farming area, they all needed to be prepared in advance.
"According to the data given by Grandia, the new grain seeds can increase the yield by about 30%."
"30%!?"
Fiona and Aurelia both gasped. What did 30% increase mean?
This meant that the same amount of farming area could feed more people than before!
Ellington was vast and sparsely populated. According to the original farming area, there were about 1,500 hectares, and the yield was about 1,500 tons. An increase of 30% would be nearly 2,000 tons!
However, don't forget that after Tang En took office, he carried out a bold and decisive agricultural reform!
With the release of the land clearing policy and the birth of new farming tools and magic-powered farming machines, Ellington's agriculture was injected with a lot of vitality. With Tang En's support, the farmers in Ellington had been clearing land at all costs for the past half a year. Therefore, the farming area in Ellington had reached a terrifying increase this year!
More than 14,000 hectares!
That's right! An increase of nearly ten times!
If it weren't for the large number of people pouring into Ellington to work in the factories and the corresponding water conservancy projects not being able to keep up, this number would have increased even more!
The registered farming area of Kasparmi Hill was about 1,200 hectares. After the frozen soil melted, Fiona gave the order for Kasparmi Hill to clear land as quickly as possible. However, because time was too tight, the increase was very limited. Currently, it had only reached 2,800 hectares.
A thousand magic-powered tillers were definitely enough to satisfy the farming needs of Kasparmi Hill. Even if it was just a temporary expansion, there would still be a slight surplus.
In other words, for spring planting this year, the total amount of land in Tang En's territory that needed to be cultivated was more than 17,000 hectares. After deducting the loss of weather, harvesting, and so on, the estimated production capacity was about 17,000 tons. Now that the crop had increased by 30%, it was 22,000 tons!
This was a terrifying increase!
An increase in crop production meant that more people could fill their stomachs, more people had the strength to do other things, and more human resources could be used …
The benefits were simply indescribable!
This was only an increase of thirty percent. If Grandia could solve the problem of genetic hybridization and double the production …
This was not impossible. Back then, the hybrid rice of Big Druid Yuan had tripled the yield of 300 kilograms of rice per mu. It was completely possible for Prandal wheat to do the same.
Tang En sighed. The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine.
Tang En came back to his senses and was suddenly stunned. "You just said … Jiarian has already built a road?"
