The Primordial Wizard

Chapter 20 Land reclamation and experiments



Happy birthday! Congratulations, you are twelve years old today.

Back home, Marina prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the family celebrated happily. Ace suddenly felt like a dream. He has lived in this world for twelve years, and if counted from the awakening of his previous life memory, he has lived for five full years.

The memory of the details of his previous life became more and more blurred, while the memory of this life became more and more clear. He looked at his family here with a smile, and thought with nostalgia in his heart that he couldn't go back.

According to Peter's suggestion, Ace organized the content of this speech, especially the content about concepts and their relationships, into a volume, named Logic Volume 1 and handed it to Romon for printing.

In the past few days, logic has become a whirlwind in the academic circles of the city-state. Nobles and citizens are proud to discuss logic. Ace has won the nickname of Ace the Wise. The patron of the goddess.

Ace was not immersed in the honor, and one day later, he left Medimus City under the moonlight just after the city gate opened in the morning. Accompanying him were 20 veterans hired by Romon, 400 slaves purchased (200 men and 200 men each) and a lot of supplies. Ace couldn't wait to build his own experimental field.

After returning to the manor to rest for a while, Ace bought a large piece of wasteland that stretched all the way to the mouth of the river through the public office. In the wasteland, he also found something similar to hops, and one of the hills had a small iron mine.

The city-state does not prohibit private mining and smelting iron, and only needs to pay one-tenth of the smelted iron ingots.

The land outside the city is cheap in this world. After all, it is unsafe and sparsely populated. Everyone yearns for the city, and the first block is even more expensive. Although the low-level monsters outside the city have been cleaned up many times, they still grow like weeds.

Ace is not the case. He just needs low-level monsters as research objects, four hundred slaves and twenty hired veterans, enough force and manpower to survive. After several months of observation, the farming methods in this world are relatively primitive. Many places are slash-and-burn farming, lacking intensive farming and irrigation techniques.

Ace can just promote the technology of his previous life on a small scale. He can build water conservancy, intensive cultivation, mining and steelmaking, update ironware, distill wine, train slave soldiers, capture low-level monsters, and experiment with new medical skills in his own manor. Don’t worry. any impact.

In short, he wants to build an economic entity with himself as the apex of the pyramid.

The goal of this economic entity is to realize its own extraordinary road. Ace remeasured and integrated the newly purchased land, and established a new settlement in a place adjacent to the river, close to the estuary, fertile land, and not far from the iron mine. land.

He plans that in the future, this settlement will grow into a manor town that can accommodate two to three thousand people.

According to the laws of the city-state, a noble or citizen family can hold slaves up to 3,000 people, and the excess slaves must be sold within three months, otherwise the city-state will buy them forcibly at a price of 50 silver thalers.

Slaves in their prime of life can be sold for one or two gold thalers, and they can be more expensive if they have special skills. Only children are only worth 50 silver thalers. No one wants to be bought by the city-state.

The slaves purchased by Ace are all trained slaves. Even the barbarians have been trained for half a year. They are fluent in language, and with twenty mercenaries, there is basically nothing to worry about. He divided the slaves into ten production teams, one team of forty people, and cultivated the fertile land around the river.

A docile, obedient and hard-working slave was promoted as the captain, and the thorns were whipped, and authority was quickly established. A group of ten people is divided into two groups to take turns to oversee the work. The first three production teams with fast progress are rewarded with dinner, and the last three production teams with slow progress have no dinner in the evening.

After several sets of combined punches, the reclamation of Ace's new settlement is progressing smoothly. He asked Marina to manage the slaves in her own way, and concentrate on cultivating the land for spring planting.

When the spring planting is over, Ace plans to dispatch a production team to mine, and recruit skilled slaves to form a craftsman team to be responsible for smelting iron farm tools necessary for intensive farming and manufacturing water conservancy and irrigation facilities.

The remaining people formed eight production teams, three were in charge of intensive farming, and four were building the master's mansion and the slave living area of ​​the settlement.

Ace was finally free. He returned to the old manor with a few slaves and two hired veterans, and started experimenting with corroding jackals.

He took two slaves who looked simple and honest to assist him in the experiment. It was found that the five corroded jackals had been tied up in cages for a long time and fed liquid food, and they were very depressed.

Have a tall barbarian slave drag one of them out of its cage and tie it to the fixed brackets that have been prepared. After fixing its head and limbs firmly, Ace ordered the slave to remove the iron clip on its mouth.

The moment the corrosive jackal was dismantled, it suddenly turned from sluggish to extremely vicious, opening its mouth to spray corrosive acid on the slave.

Ace keenly felt a strange rhythm, and the mental power of the corroding jackal also fluctuated violently. Ace sensed a strange force gathering at the throat of the corroding jackal.

The slave also hurriedly ran away, Pfft! A little bit of black smoke came out of the jackal's mouth, but there was no acid. The poor jackal seemed a little confused, and tried again, the same rhythm, again only black smoke, no acid.

Ace asked two slaves to drag the other ones over one by one, and found that none of them could spray acid.

The introduction in Low-level Monster Illustrated Book flashed in Ace's mind. Corrupt jackals are widely found in the plains of the whole continent. They live in groups, usually in groups of three to five. They like to eat sulfur. They are cunning and aggressive. 3-5 meters away, with strong corrosive acid.

Like to eat sulfur! You can try this condition, Ace thought.

There is no sulfur in the manor, so Ace took two slaves to Buku Town to buy two large bags of sulfur, and let the slaves carry them back.

Tall man, go and feed this jackal some sulfur. Don't feed too much, just use half a spoon with a big iron spoon. Back at the manor, Ace ordered.

Looking at the silly tall barbarian slave, he obediently dug up half an iron spoonful of sulfur and fed it to the jackals. The jackal ate the sulfur, but it was still a little sluggish, and there was no movement for a long time. And so do the other jackals,

Ace thought quietly. All the jackals had strange rhythms and mental fluctuations several times. Maybe this rhythm consumed their mental power, just like I use mental power. If it is too much, it cannot be used. It seems that there is nothing to do today. Let these dogs rest and do a controlled experiment tomorrow.

You two, clamp the mouths of these five dogs with iron clips and drag them into the cage. Ace ordered, and then he began to record the conditions and data of today's experiment on the parchment. The experimental data and the inspiration at that time are very important. It must be recorded at all times for easy review.

On the second day, Ace divided the five dogs into two groups. In the first group, one dog was directly stimulated to see if it could spray acid, and if it could, it was not fed sulfur. The second group of four dogs were directly stimulated to see if they could squirt out acid, and if they could not, they were fed different amounts of sulfur.

After several experiments, Ace came to a conclusion, which he wrote in the experiment diary.
