Chapter 280

Everyone knows that Randall owns a forbidden area, which is a village built on a flat top hill. No one is allowed to get close to it without the Lord's warrant. The hilly village has steep terrain, numerous sentries and strict security. There are four patrol teams patrolling continuously within a 200 km radius. If someone breaks in by mistake, he will be warned for the first time and will be expelled from Randall's collar for the second time. Never for the third time, normal people will never take their own life to challenge the authority of the Lord's family.

In awe of the Lord, the free people hired workers to call this forbidden area Randall's Secret castle.

In fact, the secret castle is a general term for the Lord's forbidden area by the free people. Many territories have similar secret fortresses, maybe a castle, maybe a manor, or a village, which is often the most important workshop of the Lord's family

Randall's Secret castle is not mysterious. Many free workers have transported materials for it. Naturally, they know what is produced inside. There is a transfer yard below the hill. The coachman drags all kinds of common goods, and then transports all kinds of weapons and armor, purple cane wine, crude sugar, snow sugar, coffee, medicine, etc. Randall leader recently mined an iron ore and transported iron ore inside every day. Now more than 100 people do some loading and unloading work in the freight yard. They even often see the coachman in charge of transportation in the secret fort. However, they don't say hello to each other, and they can't work for each other.

"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!"

The earth trembled slightly. In the surprised eyes of the stevedores, a team of swift birds escorted a gorgeous red bronze carriage and drove straight to Randall's Secret castle. The guards in the sentry didn't stop, but moved away the roadblock early.

"Don't look, it must be the Lord's car. Let's work!" The steward greeted loudly, and the freight yard was busy again.

The giant rhinoceros pulled the carriage across the heavy suspension bridge and entered the gate of the hill camp. The carriage stopped, the coachman was ready to step, knocked on the door, and Sylvia came down from the carriage with Victor's arm.

"Is this your hill camp?" Sylvia looked around and said with a smile, "it seems that there are many secrets in it."

The two square kilometer mountain camp is divided into many independent areas by a three meter high fence, like a maze, giving people a very mysterious feeling. There are indeed many secrets here. In addition to the alchemy tower, giant brick kilns, Fishman feeding ponds, large furnaces, pharmaceutical workshops, blacksmith shops, wood workshops, animal pens, wine cellars, storage rooms, etc. 80 alchemy auxiliary soldiers and 120 monkey militia are engaged in production activities in different regions. Of course, their products and technologies come from the alchemy empire.

Although there are many secrets in the hill camp, it is not enough to see people. The alchemy tower is just a cave. The outer side of the rock brick wall is blocked by an iron oak fence, and the inner side is only ordinary green bricks. No one can see the strange thing. As for alchemists, who would believe that these flesh and blood people are unnatural creatures? The only dazzling thing is the fish man breeding pool. In fact, it's no big deal. There are countless monsters raised by the church and the silver white tower. Didn't Edwin capture a half dragon man at the beginning.

Victor doesn't know why Sylvia wants to visit the hill camp, but he doesn't mind opening some technology to the York family. This is mainly because most of the technologies mastered by alchemists are the processing and utilization of natural resources, do not involve the theory of alchemical civilization, and do not go beyond this era. Even if they are taken out, they will not scare people to death, let alone expose the secrets of the alchemical tower.

For example, the alchemy auxiliary soldiers have mastered 37 kinds of hemostatic formulations, while Yinbai high tower pharmacy has long been a university subject. There are many pharmaceutical formulations with various functions, and hemostatic agents are only the most basic part. They even invented healing agents with better effects, such as violent agents that stimulate human potential The refining medicament for purifying blood vessels is a formula that alchemists do not have.

The difference is that the hemostatic agents of alchemists are simple, low-cost and local materials. Many seemingly useless or toxic animals and plants can stop bleeding. The hemostatic agents mastered by scholars are simple and complex. The best healing agents also use dragon lizard blood. If alchemists catch dragon lizards, they will only carefully preserve the dragon lizard blood and hand it over to the alchemist.

Therefore, the pharmaceutical formula of alchemists takes the collection of resources as the priority principle. First, it can help alchemists heal wounds, remove toxins and restore action ability. The second is to capture different organisms. Third, because some herbal medicines are not resistant to storage, they must be processed as soon as possible. Recovery drugs are this kind. Those who do not conform to these principles, such as rage potions, cleansing potions and sleeping potions, will not be used by alchemists. In contrast, Baita pharmacy has its own system, has perfect theoretical basis and application value, and has more development potential.

The technologies in the human will side of alchemy have the same characteristics, lack theoretical support, and are like a backwater, which is especially easy to be imitated. However, modern civilized society can not eliminate technology plagiarism, not to mention this world without patent law.

Any technology will be valuable only if it is used. If you are afraid of being plagiarized, it is ridiculous to put it on the shelf and let it mildew.

It is the right way to cultivate our own talents, improve our scientific research ability by copying other people's technology, and constantly push through the old and bring forth the new. Randall family doesn't have scientific research ability at present, but York family has talents! The production efficiency of the giant brick kiln improved by interior official Anthony has more than tripled.

Plagiarism is inevitable, and it is copied by everyone! In that case, it would be better to use the scientific research capabilities of allies to obtain more benefits. Even if Sylvia doesn't come to the hill camp, victor will choose some technologies to provide to the York family, and of course they will give corresponding rewards.

"Honey, the secret in this is beyond your imagination." Victor said honestly, "I'll show you what the Randall family has achieved now!"

"OK." Sylvia turned to the squire and said, "you are all waiting for me here. You are not allowed to stay away from the carriage!"

"Yes, madam."

The retinue of the York family bowed and Sylvia took Victor's arm and followed him into the wooden door on the left. As soon as I entered the door, I saw several hounds. Some of them shook their heads and tails, some lay lazily on the ground, and some barked and wanted to pounce. Victor shouted to the alchemy militia here, "come on, get these dogs away."

"Wait." Sylvia stared at the hounds for a moment and asked, "are you breeding hounds?"

"Yes." Victor nodded.

Sylvia asked unhappily, "can't you be satisfied with the sartrel I gave you?"

Both nobles and civilians are keen on domesticating animals. Of course, the most common is hounds. There are at least 50 or 60 hounds raised in various villages and towns, and more than 100. This is not only for the convenience of hunting and shepherding, but also for the safety of the village. Caravans, mercenaries, and refugee groups also generally take guard dogs on the road. Gradually, the cultivation of excellent hounds became the symbol of the Lord's family, and the sartrel of York family was one of the best.

Sartrel is muscular, strong and powerful. Although it is not as fierce and aggressive as the Godzilla bear hunting dog, its physical strength and endurance are outstanding. Coupled with its tenacious and resolute character, its combat effectiveness is not lost to the bear hunting dog. Moreover, the ferocity rate of sartrels is second only to the Godzilla Bear Hound, with an average of one ferocious hound per 300. Many families want a purebred sartrel, which is more expensive than three cows.

Sylvia generously gave Victor 100 sartrels to help Randall lead the elimination of wild animals. However, the family characteristics of sartrels are too obvious to be used as guard dogs for smuggling caravans. Victor hopes to cultivate a perceptive, hardworking, brave and tenacious hunting dog. He used prairie Teal dogs, mountain guard dogs and ordinary hounds. After three years of cultivation, hundreds of hybrid dogs were added, including excellent guard dogs, but the new breed is far from finalized.

Victor didn't expect Sylvia to be angry about such a small matter. He pondered for a moment and said, "the hill camp is my testing ground. You shouldn't be surprised to see anything here."

"Testing ground?"

"Yes." Victor nodded and said, "I don't have a think tank or scholars. Randall's inventions are obtained through constant trial, exploration and experiment. The white tower, the church and the Lord are very important to train animals. It is said that the Principality of Teuton can even raise moon bears as war animals. Isn't it normal for me to cultivate hunting dogs?"

Sylvia didn't say a word. Victor said with a smile, "honey, it doesn't matter to cultivate hounds. The point is to try, explore and experiment."

"Come on! I'll show you a good thing!"

Bypassing a fence is the fishman breeding pool. Three large puddles were dug on the ground. Dozens of fishmen squeaked and screamed in the leftmost puddle, which looked very painful. The mucus they secreted turned the pool water into viscous paste. When the fishermen were dying and stopped moving, the alchemical militia guarding the bank pulled them up one by one with a sleeve rod, washed their bodies with clean water, and finally threw them into the clean water tank on the right.

"You sent people to catch fishermen because of such disgusting mucus? What's the use of fish mucus?"

Several "farmers" carefully collected the mucus in the pool into the barrel. Sylvia couldn't help frowning.

The guard of the sluice often saw Randall family soldiers running to the river to catch fishermen. In order to study the habits and values of monsters, noble scholars often send people to catch all kinds of strange creatures. It's not surprising that Viscount Randall catches a few fish people, but he catches more and more every month, which is somewhat unusual.

Sylvia was also curious when she received the report from the guard. Until today, she didn't know why Victor wanted to catch the fishman.

"The mortar made with Fishman mucus is better than ordinary mortar..." Victor explained the characteristics of the new mortar.

After hearing this, Sylvia said with a complicated look, "no wonder... Victor, do you know what this new mortar means?"

"With new mortar and rock bricks, master Edwin can begin to consider how to build a giant fortress beyond the limit of 60 meters." Said Victor calmly. Some things can be taken out, and some secrets must not be exposed. For example, the design scheme of a giant fortress nearly 100 meters high... Then he heard Sylvia say, "there is a giant fortress more than 60 meters now!"

"What?"

Sylvia said slightly, "20 years ago, the kingdom of Borui successfully built a 72 meter high fortress. Many lords are asking about the secrets... I know now that it was fish man."

"Perhaps the Borui people began to use Fishman mucus 80 years ago." Sylvia thought for a moment and said: "In the past, ships built by the Borui people would leak in less than 10 years. In recent decades, their shipbuilding technology has made great progress and began to build large ships that can accommodate 200 people. It is the emergence of large ships that prompted the Borui people to explore the southern continent. I guess Borui scholars used Fishman mucus to make viscose to solve the problem of ship leakage."

Victor secretly lamented that there will never be a lack of smart people in the world. In the same environment, there is no technology to crush everything. Others may not understand what you know, but others can do what you can do. If you hold your own one-third of an acre, you will be eliminated sooner or later!

Victor became more and more determined to offer a brick to attract jade and borrow a chicken to lay eggs. He said, "I don't have only mortar here!" Then he turned to an alchemy militia and shouted, "white, go and get a rattan skin armor and a rattan silk soft armor."
