Whenever Landen has time, he will look for various industries for the territory, such as wool spinning, paper, Soap, brewing, fermentation, pottery, Brick Firing, mushroom cultivation, etc. Some technologies such as brewing and pottery, Brick Firing, and wool spinning are technologies that the existing Territory Residents knows. Although Territory Residents does not know the remaining technologies, Landen can probably recall the principles or technologies of his previous life.

The advantage of these is that as long as the process is understood, the industry can be developed without magic, and Landen hopes to add magic to some process steps, simplify the process steps, and improve efficiency and product quality.

For example, the Magic Pattern Pottery Jar made by Landen and the Magic Power provided by Magic Gathering Rune can just allow Temperature Increasing Rune to maintain the temperature in the tank at 35-45 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria.

Not only yogurt, but also Distiller's Yeast, fermented bean curd, and in the future Compost, all of which control temperature and humidity to allow different substances to slowly ferment under the action of microorganisms.

Another example is Sophia, which is currently developing a complete set of Papermaking equipment, including pulverizing, cooking, rolling and beating raw materials; Landen, for example, is already a wool spinning equipment similar to what the girls are thinking about.

After the breeding business gradually got on track, the girls' workshop became the research and development base for territorial craft equipment. Every time Landen arrives, he will check the progress of a batch of new equipment in the workshop and also bring some new ideas.

Salt Mine, Shandong, Emergency Communication Room.

Ben Kaul is re-engraving Magic Pattern on a Magic Mirror, while Wendy not far away is studying Magic Array on the wall.

"Wendy, I only have a little work left here. When communicating tonight, there should be no instability problems like yesterday." Ben's attention was completely focused on the magic Engraving Knife in his hand, and he had no energy to look at the girl on the side. "If you have something to do, just go and get busy. There is no need to stay here with me."

Just as Ben Kaul promised, as early as the day of the 17th, he used Emergency Communication Room's Magic Array to establish a Magic Mirror line that could connect Rothe Castle's, and last night communicated with Rothe Castle's Johnny and other girls. However, the magic lines on Magic Mirror still need to be adjusted to keep the communication open for a long time.

"Oh, okay then", Wendy put his hand down from the Rune line on the wall, "Then I'll go to a few warehouses and have a look. Yesterday Johnny said they need more paper, so I'll go look through those old warehouses."

"Okay, go quickly." Mage heard the sound of the door closing and sighed silently. In an instant, the magic Engraving Knife was flying in his hands, and the light on Magic Mirror became brighter.

In addition to Communication Room, when Magic Fairy saw Wendy coming out, they flew over very concerned. Although they didn't say anything, they were gesturing with their hands desperately.

Seeing this, Wendy pointed towards the room, only to see Magic Fairy shaking his head repeatedly and gesticulating vigorously with his hands open.

Outside the cave, Pete is arranging for Knight and Barbarian Cavalry to pack all the salt that has not been transported before. According to the requirements of Landen, there is still some salt that they need to collect on site.

"Leave your team to collect Brine," Pete said to his team leader, "Team 2 will follow Wendy Mage to search the warehouse. The rest of you will go to Coal Mine in the north. We will stay here for at most 3 days before returning!"

"Yes!" Knights split up.

In the past two days, Wendy and Ben Kaul have modified the device for extracting Brine. The new Brine Extraction Device will send a long and slender barrel to Rock Well through a rope. When the long barrel is filled with Brine, use a horse to pull the salt. The pulley device next to the well pulls the long bucket out of the well. There is a one-way valve at the bottom of the long bucket. After opening, dozens of kilograms of Brine can be poured out. Brine directly enters the bucket used for transportation. After the bucket is full, it is pulled by a horse-drawn carriage to Salt Boiling Workshop in the cave. The entire process does not require manual transportation.

This brine mining method was modified by the two demons Mage according to the ideas of Landen's hometown. The original manual mining of Brine was too slow and too crowded. The new device does not require manpower to extract Brine, only someone is needed to extract Brine. Just supervise. Now the main step in limiting salt mining is the number of Rock Well. Currently, there are only 2 usable wells in the entire Salt Mine. While waiting for these wells to mine Brine, Pete can also arrange for personnel to test the coal mining tunnels.

Compared to Rock Well, Mage made relatively small changes to Coal Mine, which only allowed Magic Fairy to level the mine floor and widen and raise the mining channel.

After a day's work, Knight Order and Mana-Wielder had dinner together in the cave hall. Wendy and Ben listened to their chats about their usage experience.

"Sir Mage, can the Mine Cart in the Coal Mine well move on its own? It's not hard to dig coal, but it's too hard to transport coal!"

"Sir Mage, we used to only mine salt, so our bodies were relatively clean, but mining coal is too dirty! We have to queue up to take a shower!"

"Sir, the draft horses we bring may not be enough, right?"

Wendy listened to the opinions of these people, but was thinking about what Landen said that night, "Brine is usually accompanied by Natural Gas. If it can be used Natural Gas is used as fuel, and the coal used for boiling salt can be saved and directly supplied to Night-Kirin City. If Steam Engine can be developed, the transportation in Mine Tunnel can also be solved."

"What is Natural Gas?" Wendy frowned, "What is Steam Engine?"

"Sir? Can you hear me?" At 9 o'clock in the evening, Wendy and Ben Kaul met with...

"Of course, how is it over there? Rothe It's getting warmer here, is it still snowing over there?" Landen in Magic Mirror is very clear.

"Winter is like this on the plains. If it snows, it snows. We are all used to it," Wendy happily introduced to Landen.

"How about Salt Mine?"

"Very good, I have modified it Brine Extraction Device as you said. I also took the goblins to reinforce the walls of the camp. I Mage said that the area should be expanded, preferably covering the entire valley entrance, but I think the work in the Salt Mine valley should be completed first." Wendy answered before Ben could speak.

"Yes, Wendy learns very quickly, don't worry." Ben also smiled.

"I understand, you can just base it on the specific situation at Salt Mine. If you have anything to tell me anytime, use Magic Mirror. In addition, tell Pete that he must arrive at Night-Kirin City by the end of the month." Landen in Magic Mirror is very concerned about the transportation of salt.

"I got it, I'll tell him right now." After saying that, Wendy was about to run out. He didn't have anything more to say, so he said goodbye to Landen. Magic Mirror turned into an ordinary mirror again, and the video communication was interrupted.

Wendy arrived at the door and turned around to see Mage still holding Magic Mirror in his hand, with no intention of leaving, "Teacher, do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, I want to change the Magic Array here to reduce the consumption of Magic Power." Mage pointed to Magic Array among the Magic Mirror.

"Okay, then I'll go find Pete first." The girl left with a smile.
