Gudern said, paused, and continued.

"The current shortage of troops in the Qingyuan Army also requires expansion and upgrading. As for the Imperial Army, I have control over 200,000 troops. I will select 30,000 people to be included in the Qingyuan Army."

"All existing personnel in the Qingyuan Army must complete their training tasks as soon as possible, and at least half of the personnel must pass officer training. They will all be dispersed and planned to be included in this batch to serve as officers at all levels."

"In addition, we will recruit another 20,000 people from Qingyuan Town and all my city territories. This task is very heavy. I will give you three months to prepare and publicize it, and complete the army's preparation tasks. It will all be over by June next year.”

"I will leave the specific army size and number deployment to you. This task is your second major task besides collecting and collecting the city."

Hearing that Gudern wanted to expand the Qingyuan Army to 50,000 men, the eyes of the officers present were filled with shock.

We need to know the combat power of the Qingyuan Army. Three to four thousand people can already compete with hundreds of thousands of orcs. If we need to arm an army of 50,000, why don't we directly invade the orc capital?

Of course, in addition to being shocked, everyone is still more excited. After all, once the army expands, they can continue to climb up in their current position, and they will have more and more real power in their hands.

Who wouldn't want to be in power?

However, the people present who can come here are 100% loyal and will not betray Gudern. Even if there is friction, it is healthy internal competition and there will be no rebellion.

This reason is also the reason why Gooden dared to expand the army all at once. In six months of preparation time, the fourth generation weapons should have been popularized, and by then the individual soldier communication system might have been installed.

This kind of situation and technical means can also ensure that the army is firmly in his hands for the first time.

Chapter 198 Rebuilding the castle and going out to investigate

The tasks assigned by the military are not as cumbersome as those in government affairs and require repeated coordination and confirmation between various departments.

After assigning the task, the troops will use their own methods to accelerate the completion of the task.

After all, it is a unit with military functions. When they are dispatched, it is often time to use violent means to solve the problem.

After the arrangements were made, Gooden led the team to the train station outside Nancheng, preparing to receive and inspect the train returning from the mine.

The first train traction head was originally planned to use a dual-power hybrid, but unexpectedly the birth of anti-magic manganese steel directly caused the engineering designers to directly modify the planned plan and directly use the magic power unit. .

Although the temporary changes were a bit urgent, the train power unit was not affected. On the contrary, actual tests found that the performance was more than twice as high as the originally planned double-moving head power unit.

Arriving at the unloading station outside the South City Gate, Qingyuan Train No. 1 was also slowly entering the designated platform area.

The No. 1 locomotive power unit of Qingyuan Train is ten meters long. The bottom of the locomotive is in a V shape, and the top of the locomotive is also curved to reduce resistance.

Although it is a bit strange to add a design to reduce resistance on the locomotive, in the eyes of Qingyuan designers, reducing all external factors and improving a little bit of performance is the key point.

Coupled with the convenience of magic, they don't need to think too much about the structure. It's not surprising that it is designed like this, at least it is beautiful.

The ten-meter locomotive is made of pure manganese steel and weighs more than thirty tons. But don't underestimate the more than thirty-ton locomotive. It is enough to pull a thousand-ton train and soar to eight. At a speed of ten kilometers per hour, it can reach the same speed with thrust in both directions.

And when the load does not exceed 100 tons, it is not a problem to easily break through 120 tons. With the current distance between Qingyuan Town and the iron ore mine, the train can run back from the other end in less than 20 minutes while the train is speeding, and it can still run back on its own. It can carry less than a hundred tons of cargo.

Such terrifying speed was something they never dared to imagine in the past. When they went to the mining area, they would have to set out and arrive at noon.

But now it can be reached in just one meal. This speed is really surprising.

However, for safety reasons, the speed of Qingyuan No. 1 train unit cannot exceed 80 kilometers per hour when loading cargo, and the last five kilometers after arriving in Qingyuan Town must slow down to less than 60 kilometers per hour. Such measures are to avoid The train overran and derailed.

The Qingyuan No. 1 train currently in the station has a total of seven carriages, two carrying people and five carrying minerals.

One carriage can haul fifty tons of minerals, but to be honest, five carriages can barely perform at a quarter of its level.

Of course, this is not because the crew is unwilling to increase the number, but because the mine currently does not have that much volume per day!

At the speed of a train, one trip in the morning and the same in the afternoon can bring back nearly 500 tons of minerals. This mineral is already the largest amount of mining in iron ore mines.

The current mining volume is far from enough for Qingyuan Town, but there is nothing we can do about it. Recently, people have just been sent to take over the mining area in Songhailing, and the railway tracks have not been laid yet. The expansion of production capacity will not be completed for a while.

In the unloading area, Gooden looked at the cranes used to lift the mineral carriages. The minerals in the filled carriages were poured into a high-platform transport storage machine, and the conveyor belt transferred the minerals to a magic truck stop.

The minerals are transported to the bucket box of the magic truck through the conveyor belt. After the bucket box is filled, the magic truck transports it to the smelting plant and directly converts it into steel or manganese steel for storage.

The five carriages were cleared in less than half an hour and less than fifteen minutes, and the train was started, passing through the turning track on one side, and re-entered the track to the iron ore.

There are two tracks leading to the iron mine and Qingyuan Town, one going there and one coming back.

In this way, the embarrassment caused by a single channel can be avoided when adding vehicle groups in the future.

Moreover, the unloading station in Qingyuan Town was designed with the standard of six trains unloading at the same time when it was established. There are also three spare parking tracks for waiting.

These various designs are prepared to accommodate future loads, so as to avoid the embarrassment of dismantling and redesigning when there is not enough capacity.

Of course, if even this station can no longer carry the required unloading, then another large-scale station must have been under construction or put into use by that time.

Gooden is very satisfied with the excellent performance of the magic train. This transportation effect greatly increases the transportation efficiency and allows the magic truck to be used in places where it is more needed.

On the first day after returning, Gooden was very satisfied with the current development speed of Qingyuan Town.

After the inspection work in the afternoon, Gudern did not run around, but returned to the castle and took a rest directly from get off work.

The development work of Qingyuan Town takes time to prepare. There is no point in being anxious. It is better to enjoy life.

In the next three days, Gudern directly demolished and rebuilt the entire castle.

Although the overall construction in the old castle is very detailed and solid, the facilities are too old and slightly small, at least in Gudern's opinion.

So taking advantage of his free time during this period, Gudern directly captured two extraordinary people to help him rebuild the castle.

Of course, one is in the name of safety, and the other is exchanging good wine, so that the two of them can help willingly.

After nearly three days of work on the new castle, the central area of ​​Qingyuan Town has also undergone considerable changes.

The original single-story area of ​​the castle was only about 4,000 square meters, divided into a dozen areas and dozens of rooms. Although it was carefully designed, it was no longer suitable for the current situation and environment, especially in terms of safety.

The rammed earth wall outside the castle no longer has the ability to protect and is in the way. It was directly demolished, and the hills under the castle were specially reinforced and mitigated to ensure that the slope would not be so steep.

Of course, the absence of city walls does not mean that there is no protection around the castle. Outside the original circle of woods outside the castle, special fences were used to surround the surrounding area, leaving only four leading to the four city gates. Entrance.

The fence is similar to the iron fence that normally divides the community. It is more than three meters high and has spikes on the top. It seems that the protection is very simple, but in fact these iron fences are all made of magic-resistant manganese steel, and each steel column is Comes with magical inscriptions for blessing and protection.

If someone wants to cross this iron fence, they will be blocked by a transparent and invisible magic shield, and a warning will be issued immediately. If there is a normal physical intrusion, the handling personnel will only hand it over to the nearby people. Guard.

Each anti-magic steel pillar is equipped with a detection mechanism and protective magic. Once an intrusion of magic or force is detected, a stronger guard team will be notified as soon as possible. This guard team is all The members are all super soldiers modified by Gooden's vocabulary.

Under normal circumstances, there is no problem if one can fight three of them, and currently the lowest level person is also a high level person, and the team leaders are all masters.

If fluctuations exceeding the master level are detected, Chaofan will directly suppress them, and Gudern does not need to worry at all.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone may break in quietly, so the forest park outside the New Castle is covered with a large number of detection equipment.

This is also due to the birth of anti-magic manganese steel, which has greatly accelerated the application of communication interactive magic. These detection equipment will automatically feel the pressure. Once regular fluctuations occur, they will automatically notify, as A huge pressure detection position, as long as there are physical fluctuations, there is no way to escape its detection.

If the opponent leaps past, the transparent and invisible shield is up to twenty meters high. If it flies in beyond this distance, it will have been seen by others, so there is no need to worry.

This design made it impossible for Hogtz and Helisa to find a way to sneak in other than using space magic. Even Noros, who has always been cautious and good at hiding, fell into this detection system. This is enough. It shows that its effect is excellent.

The planned building area of ​​the new castle covers an area of ​​more than 55,000 square meters, and it is more like a palace or a manor than a castle.

The layout of the manor presents a "gate" structure, but the sides are slightly shorter, and is divided into a front yard, a back yard, and a surrounding garden. It has two floors inside, a basement, an attic, and a stargazing tower.

At the same time, in order to better facilitate his daily life and work, the manor has an office area on the left, with a living room, dining room, guest rooms and other external layouts.

The middle part is his master bedroom, core guest room, study, laboratory and other areas that are used daily, while on the right is where other maids live, as well as spare guest rooms, storage areas and other areas.

The entire building area adds up to more than 300 houses, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

Moreover, the castle is equipped with all the latest technologies such as magic technology, electricity technology, etc., and the level of advanced technology is slightly higher than that of modern mansions. Of course, there is no such thing as the Internet.

But this doesn’t matter. There is still magic without the Internet. Isn’t this thing more interesting than the Internet?

At the same time, in order to ensure your own safety and some important research, there is a vertical passage up to a hundred meters deep under the building, and a rather large underground fortress was built below.

This underground fortress is not only responsible for the final protection barrier, but also a secret arrangement for the future plan to dig a special passage to facilitate the escape.

Moreover, the entire underground fortress is equipped with shielding and scanning measures. Even if a legend comes, at most they will find a lot of metal foundations under the castle, but not the downward passage hidden in it.

The construction period of such a huge manor was only three days, but nearly three hundred construction team members were mobilized to come and provide extraordinary help.

Especially Helisa, with a wave of her hand, she could pile up the materials needed by several days of workers, and it only took one day to build the entire structure.

In the next two days, they were basically decorating and polishing the details, which enabled them to achieve the feat of replacing the castle with a manor in a short period of time.

Gudern was quite satisfied with moving back into his own house. He had had the idea of ​​replacing and rebuilding the fortress before.

After all, the place where my predecessor lived since childhood was a royal-sized palace, so the level of luxury is self-evident. But in Qingyuan Town, this castle is already very luxurious in the eyes of ordinary people.

But for people whose tastes were raised in the predecessor, it undoubtedly looked a bit shabby, and for people like Gooden who were used to modern and convenient structures, despite the later changes, it still seemed uncomfortable.

After the trip to the royal capital, they decided to start rebuilding and renovating the place when they returned. With extraordinary help, they were able to complete and move in within a short period of time.

It just so happens that the new year also starts from scratch, which is also a good sign for yourself to start from scratch in the new year.

On the Dawn Continent, the first day of the new year is also a grand celebration day. Every household will get together today to celebrate the beginning of the new year by chatting and drinking.

Just as the manor was completed, Gudern also summoned everyone in the castle to celebrate the new year.

With a larger restaurant, it wouldn’t be a problem to have a dozen people dining together again at the same time.

In the restaurant, dozens of dishes are placed on the dining table. Each dish is carefully prepared, but its appearance can make people appetizing.

Dishes like these are considered ordinary home-cooked dishes. It seems that ordinary residents have learned from them, but the taste of them is definitely not as good as those made by his maids.

For this reason, Gooden also asked the cook Ina to provide classroom instruction so that ordinary residents can also learn.

Spreading the dishes is also a way to attract outsiders and maintain happiness.

After all, some of the dishes are easy to make and delicious, and are countless times better than their stews, stews, soups and all kinds of strange filling staples.

It is precisely because of this that the spread of food spreads very quickly, and many housewives are also keen to buy a newspaper every once in a while to learn about new dishes.

There are also some people with good cooking skills who have opened restaurants in small towns. Although the recipes are still relatively few, there are also many people who can't cook them themselves due to cooking skills and can only spend money to taste them.

Moreover, the dishes are quite affordable, and their salary for working in Qingyuan for one month is enough. This makes many people who find it troublesome often stay in the restaurant to eat.

At this moment, in the manor restaurant, a group of people were dining together happily, even Helisa, who rarely went out, was sitting aside.

While Gudern was enjoying the banquet happily, an urgent document suddenly came back from Hematite City.

After the military information station received the information, the officer on duty saw it and hurriedly forwarded the order to the manor without caring about New Year's Day.

The person responsible for receiving the news in the manor immediately went to the restaurant and whispered beside Gudern.

"Master, there is an urgent secret message from Chitie City. I need you to check it."

The receiver handed the translated content to Gooden and took the coded message. Gooden glanced at it and fixed his eyes on the names Charlieson and Gergill.

Since Gudern issued the mission to attack Gufeng City, the advance signal laying and reconnaissance missions have already begun.
