After finalizing the remuneration, Roland planned to tear down another wall on the road of great development.
That is the standard unit.
Neverwinter's popular education work has already incorporated distance units such as millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers into teaching materials to replace the original inches, feet, and feet. It is quite effective at present. Especially in the construction and industrial production sectors, measuring instruments made with new units have been widely recognized because they are more accurate.
The one-centimeter datum prototype, that is, an iron bar the width of Roland's fingernails, was kept in the castle study.
What he needs to do next is to integrate other units together and spread it to the whole country of Greycastle.
The reason why this step is only done now is that the previous production and education levels do not have an urgent need for other new units, and the second is that it is technically difficult to reproduce.
After all, there is no point in having standards, and if they cannot be made into measuring instruments, people will not be able to use them in real life.
But these difficulties are no longer a problem.
For example, a container of one cubic decimeter is defined as one liter, and the weight of one liter of water is defined as one kilogram; for example, the period of one swing of a one-meter-long pendulum is defined as one second... The former can be accurately replicated using hummingbirds The equivalent weight of the kilogram prototype, the latter can provide time through the pendulum clock. As long as the originals and models are available, Neverwinter's factories can produce a large number of imitations.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and energy to rely on Anna alone to arrange all the measuring tools.
When industrial technology reached a certain level, the popularization of more precise units of measurement became a matter of course.
He is not worried that these standards are not "pure" enough. In fact, the standard prototypes used in human history are themselves constantly changing with the progress of the times.
…
Three days later, Iron Axe finally led the Eastern Front Army back to Neverwinter City, and at the same time, there was Echo, who had been in Clear Water Port for nearly half a year.
Roland looked at the two sandmen who reported to him at the desk, and slightly lamented in his heart that they were both criminals of exiled families. One went to Border Town incognito and lived by hunting; living a tortured life. But now, they are an indispensable member of the senior management of Neverwinter City.
Carrying heavy responsibilities alone and busy outside for several months, Tie Axe's face did not show the slightest tiredness. Instead, he became radiant because of the war, and his gestures already had the style of a general. The change in Echo was even more obvious. The shadow of her slavery life gradually faded away. There was a confident luster in her blue-gray eyes, and her temperament became more and more consistent with her status as the Aosha Patriarch.
Indeed, experience can change a person the most.
Echo's report was very simple. The Crazy Flame Clan fulfilled the agreement, and the first relocation team had already settled in the Clear Water Port. Influenced by the first clan in Iron Sand City, several small clans approached her and expressed their willingness to serve the Great Chief. The whole plan was very smooth. After receiving the various patriarchs, the migration population of Clear Water Port is expected to reach 30,000 by the end of the year, which is already comparable to the number of the old capital.
In addition, she also brought a handwritten letter from Speer, the lord of the Falling Dragon Ridge.
"Speer said that she is only the manager of a small fief, and has no experience in taking care of so many people. She is about to get overwhelmed these days." Echo imitated the other party's tone and said, "Although the skilled hands sent by the city hall are good. Use, but according to their suggestion, it takes at least two or three hundred clerks to resettle so many migrants. If your majesty doesn't take care of her more, she will want to drop the burden and run to Neverwinter City as a clerk. The impulse of an ordinary witch."
Roland couldn't help but chuckle. Ordinary witches don't mean leisure, Soraya and Ye Ye are looking at you. If you don't use up the magic power every day, how can you be worthy of the ability of the magic power channel to be so useful. "I see. I'll give her more of the next batch of new officials who pass the review. You've been working hard on this mission, so let's take a good rest for a few days."
"Yes." She bowed and saluted, and then said with anticipation, "By the way, Your Majesty, do you have... a new piece of music recently?"
"Uh, you can sing the previous ones?"
"Well...they work very well, especially when they inspire the crowd." Echo replied with a smile, "And when I'm confused, I'll sing the songs you taught me. If it weren't for those songs, I'm afraid I'll stick to it. Not until this day."
It seems that coordinating the relationship between the clans and maintaining order in the southern border is not as simple as she reported, but she has taken on all the difficulties and setbacks alone.
"I see," Roland said slowly, "I will find someone to transcribe the new song and send it to your room."
Echo bent down deeply, "That's great, thank you!"
Even if he didn't know anything about music, he could rummage through the dream world. For such a request, he couldn't say a word of refusal.
After Echo retreated, Roland turned his attention to Iron Axe.
"You've worked hard too."
"No, Your Majesty," the latter said hurriedly, "It is my duty to fight for you. Not only did I not feel hard, but I enjoyed it."
"Really?" Roland smiled, noncommittal, "What happened to the nobles who escaped to Haifeng County? You won't set them on fire again, will you?"
"I would like to do this, but unfortunately they ran too fast," Iron Axe said sternly, "when Jinsui City was cleaned up and the First Army arrived in Haifeng County, the outskirts had become a wasteland. Not only that, the city There are also several granaries that are on fire. Obviously they would rather destroy the town than hand it over to you intact."
This is probably the last revenge of the betrayal of the king and the Yu Dang. He thought to himself, if the Eastern Front Army had not made adequate preparations, and there were dozens of cement transport ships behind them that provided supplies day and night, I am afraid that it would only be possible to hit here immediately. retreat. Otherwise, those city citizens who are short of food will regard the First Army as the target of looting. Once they are shot and suppressed, it will be difficult to restore order.
"Where did they all escape?"
"Some went to the fjords, and some went to the other three kingdoms," Iron Axe replied regretfully, "It's a pity that the First Army has no ships, otherwise I will never let them go."
"Don't worry, as long as they still dare to use their original surnames, I will clean them up sooner or later." Roland said slowly. At least the group that escaped to the morning sun was no different from the flying insects that had thrown themselves into the net. This group of people is probably the last loyalist of Tifeko. He is not worried that the other party will make a comeback. He just thinks that they are an eyesore.
After asking about the aftermath of the Eastern Territory, Roland suddenly thought of a previous question.
"By the way, trick the nobles into prison and then disguise them as fires... Is this what you came up with?"
Iron Axe's expression suddenly stiffened.
