The raw materials needed to make sugar are relatively harsh. The current "Drehem" can only mix honey and dates to make original mixed sugar, and there is no technology to make more advanced sugar.
For example, maltose can be produced from wheat, but no one knows the technology of making this kind of sugar.
As for sugars such as white sugar and brown sugar, sugar beet, sugarcane and other plants rich in sugar are needed to extract. Of course, according to the research of the people of Salander, the refined processing of dates may produce rough sugar like brown sugar class, but it has not been thoroughly studied, so brown sugar has not appeared.
Compared with salt, which is rich in natural resources in the desert, it is obviously more troublesome to obtain sugar. However, everything is developing at a high speed. Perhaps it will not take long before the dates rich in sugar are successfully researched thoroughly. During the exchange, new types of goods can be added.
For example, sugar cane, sugar beets, figs, and dates are economical crops with high sugar content that can even be used to make dried fruit and produce fructose. Planting them in deserts can increase the sugar content inside the fruit due to the temperature difference effect.
Kant already had a decision in mind.
When the "Aaron" village in the Sanwaya Mountains develops in the future, all the basic wheat fields and flax fields can be transferred there, leaving "Drehem" with only economic crops that can produce sugar.
At that time, the sentry oasis will not only be a military castle.
It is also the center of the salt and sugar workshop that can supply the entire human kingdom.
After mastering these two condiments, which are comparable to luxury goods, a large number of large silver coins will flow into Kant's pockets, and the degree of huge profits is no less than that of the spice trade.
For it is all readily available to Kant.
The saline land deep in the desert, the date palms and honey of the Sarande people.
These don't cost too much!
If possible, Kant would even increase investment in the breeding industry, such as artificial beehives, all placed in the village of "Aaron". With the rich plant resources of the Sanwaya Mountains and the flowers blooming all over the mountains, it has become a place that can produce a large amount of honey. Combined with dates, batches of date palm sugar are produced in sugar mills.
And even the spice trade may have the opportunity to try to get involved in this industry.
After all, although the Sanwaya Mountains are close to the Nalun Desert, the natural environment tends to be humid and hot, with cold currents blowing from time to time. The climate is very strange, but it also creates a subtropical mountain climate.
This is the environment in which spices such as pepper, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, and ginger tend to grow.
Too bad Kant doesn't have spice seeds.
According to the knowledge in the college, all these spices are purchased from overseas.
The entire human kingdom and the dwarf kingdom in the distance do not have spices, so this kind of thing is extremely precious, so it can be equivalent to large silver coins, and bags of silver coins can be exchanged for small bags of spices.
The luxury that only the nobles can afford is far more luxurious than fine white salt!
Tour the entire fortress.
Kant had a faint smile on his face.
He is very satisfied.
Especially after observing his own fortress, the future planning is much clearer and more intuitive.
Kant was in an excellent mood.
He finally got rid of his identity as a weak and tired little lord, and even in the next upgrade, he will have a brand new and strong castle, just like the most thorough nail, firmly rooted in the sentry oasis, allowing He became the true king of this land, indestructible!
"Fatis." Kant nodded in praise: "During the time I was away, you did a very good job."
"Thank you for your compliment." Fatis lowered his head, with a smile of recognition between his brows.
"This is the praise you deserve." Kant said with a smile.
Although Fatis' level of internal affairs is not as good as that of military command, the education from the heirs of the great aristocratic family and the insights brought by his travels to the mainland are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
For example, Manid and James are slightly worse than Fatis in comparison.
This is the gap created by education.
If you look at it according to the original game, the gap is not big because of the existence of players.
In reality, it is undoubtedly exposed.
Among these heroic NPCs, the one who can be compared with Fatis may be Elaine from the Kingdom of Vikia who also came from a noble family.
But there are differences between the two.
Due to education issues, Elaine is more like a general who leads the troops to the front.
Come to the battlefield to fight bloody battles to boost the morale of the troops.
Not so with Fatis.
He is the commander in chief who leads the troops into battle.
Although he can also charge forward, it is the position of commander who can reflect his military literacy. He plays his role in tactics and strategy, not as a general to charge forward.
Kant's understanding of the original was very deep.
When he came to this world, he also upheld a truth.
No one is the strongest or the weakest, no one is useful or useless, as long as the position they are in is not suitable, the position they hold is not correct, and they are not playing what they are best at!
Go back to the Consulate.
The peasant women immediately brought the hot food.
It is much richer than what you eat in the "Aaron" village, and there are even the freshest charcoal-grilled lamb chops.
This is the best supplement after a long walk.
"By the way, I suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon."
When Kant saw the golden and crispy char-grilled lamb chops, he seemed to think of something.
Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, he turned his head and asked Fatis: "It's the end of the month, but why didn't I see groups of desert antelopes start to migrate? If I remember correctly, these desert antelopes in the Sanwaya Mountains will At the end of the month, a large number of them migrated to the depths of the Nalun Desert, and they would come back after reaching the saline-alkali land and eating enough salt.”
"Yes, that's true." Fatis nodded slightly, and replied: "I also discovered this recently. The number of those desert antelopes has become less and less than before."
"There are fewer desert antelopes now?" Kant frowned and asked, "This is unusual."
"Did you find anything unusual in the Sanwaya Mountains?" Fatis asked.
"No." Kant frowned.
Fatis spoke, hesitantly saying: "Actually, since the end of last month, the number of these desert antelopes has begun to decrease. If there is not a problem in the depths of the Nalun Desert, it is a problem in the Sanwaya Mountains."
"Is that so?" Kant nodded, his analysis made sense.
Fatis also shrugged slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Lord Kant, maybe the arrival of the expeditionary force last time scared the desert antelopes, making these little guys afraid to come here for a short time."
"Maybe." Kant nodded.
He always felt that it was not that simple.
However, the current "Drehem" does not need to rely on desert antelope as its main food.
Just a way to provide air-dried meat.
And when Kant established "Aaron" in the Sanwaya Mountains, he hunted a large number of abundant wild animals and made air-dried meat, and he did not need to rely on the desert antelope as a source of meat.
The current herd of antelope is only serving as a source of red meat for "Drehem", allowing people to eat fresh meat.
So the impact is not big.
The prepared food is all served.
Since it was early in the morning, Fatis accompanied Kant to eat.
But the two talked more often.
After leaving for such a long time, Kant needs to listen carefully to Fatis' report, especially the construction work and changes of "Drehem" after leaving, which are all matters to be considered when deciding on his next upgrade.
Meal ends with conversation.
Kant nodded slightly: "Very good."
Fatis reported various situations and current situation in detail.
Thanks to self-enclosed development and no communication with the outside world, "Drehem" has not changed much, and the changes are all within the controllable range, which will not have much impact on the next upgrade.
"Continue to be vigilant."
Kant wiped the corners of his mouth with a linen towel to remove the oil stains.
Then he stood up and walked towards the second floor. At the same time, he continued to order Fatis: "I will go back to my room to rest for a while, and I will continue to hand over the management of the fortress to you. If there is any abnormal situation, tell everyone not to panic."
"Understood." Fatis also stood up and nodded respectfully.
What Kant is talking about is the abnormal situation caused by upgrading.
The "Drehem" fortress, which is currently ready, has all the buildings repaired, and the soldiers are neat and elite. It is no problem to upgrade to the castle level.
Go back to your room.
The windows were open, the air was dry and there was no smell.
I haven't been back for a while, and the room is very clean.
Obviously, my room is cleaned every day. If you look at the smooth surface of the table, let alone sand grains, even if there is not even a layer of dust, you can know how dedicated the peasant women in charge of cleaning the fortress are.
Close the door.
Kant lay on a bed that was changed every day.
A dialog box pops up instantly.
His thinking has been connected to the system, and he silently said in his mind: "System, upgrade."
[Ding... system prompt]
[Currently, there is one upgrade option, please determine the upgrade goal.]
["Drehem" Fortress/"Aaron" Village]
The system will give a prompt soon.
Kant said in a deep voice: "Upgrade the "Drehem" fortress!"
There is no need to hesitate at all.
"Drehem" is his main reliance now. If the trade route to the coast of Mannheim can be opened up, then this "Drehem" will be even more useful!
And with Kant's affirmation, the data flow surged out instantly.
The upgrade card that was originally in his mind has been broken into pieces.
But on this "Drehem" governing hall, the data flow has completely wrapped it, and in the process of expansion, irreversible changes have begun to occur.
The data stream dissipates quickly.
The governing hall, whose whole body is made of stone blocks, no longer has the shape of a military tower.
But the real main body of the castle!
