The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 217: The Victory of the Foodie Empire
"Sir, we are willing, please tell us!"

"Well, listen carefully. Whether you are willing to do it or not is up to you!"

What Feng Yu called opportunity was the points system.

Distribution according to work can be exchanged for points. Points can be exchanged for daily necessities such as wine, meat, and clothes. A certain number of points can be exchanged for the opportunity to get rid of the status of a prisoner of war and leave Xiangpu City.

At that time, the goblin airship flying to the Moran Empire will bring them back to the Moran Empire, but it will require a lot of points.

Feng Yu would not let them off easily. They had to work hard for two to three years without wasting their points, so that they could earn the points needed to return to the human race and exchange them for airship tickets to go home.

As for the points, Feng Yu was too lazy to design one, so he just used the currency of Xiangpu City instead.

But the currency earned by the mercenaries is, of course, pitifully small, and cannot be compared with that of the workers in Cattail City. After all, this thing is used to replace points, not to make them rich.

As for the mercenaries, what could they say? They were at the mercy of others and had been prepared to be executed or exhausted to death. Now that they suddenly had hope, they had to give it a try no matter how slim the chances were.

Marshall exclaimed: "These guys seem to be very motivated!"

"Well, the desire to survive is very strong!"

After settling this issue, Feng Yu also put his wasteland rail transportation plan on the agenda and began to prepare for construction.

Feng Yu was wrong at first. He thought that the metallurgical requirements for things like rail steel and locomotive axles were very high. Later he realized that all he had to do was reduce the cargo capacity appropriately.

After all, the Great Wilderness is not like Greater China, which requires a very strong transportation system. The combined population of the three tribes barely reaches tens of millions, which is not even as large as the permanent population of a modern first-tier metropolis.

What the wilderness needs is convenient and fast transportation, not astonishing carrying capacity.

In this way, whether it is the rails or freight locomotive parts, we can do some subtraction, save materials, and lay longer tracks.

The river bank close to Lengshui River is suitable for water transportation, so the railway tracks do not need to be too close to the river bank.

The Great Wasteland was flat enough, and even if there were some mounds or hills, they were not very big, so Feng Yu could lay rails freely.

The railway line that Feng Yu planned was to start from Cattail City, head northeast to the location of the new mining area and steel mill, and then head north to the magnetite mine of the dwarf Giant Rock Clan.

This is the main road section, connecting resources related to the development of Cattail City, and needs to be built as soon as possible.

As for Cattail City, the railway will fork before entering Cattail City, leading to the station between the industrial area and the barracks, as well as the station near the residential area.

There are also several stations in the middle part of the railway reserved for use by people in the agricultural area. The agricultural area extends less than ten miles inland along the river, and the railway line is about ten miles away from the agricultural area.

Although it is a bit far, it is still useful. At least the halfling farmers don’t have to travel too far by car.

They can use both water and rail transportation. When there is an opportunity in the future, Feng Yu also plans to build village-to-village roads in agricultural areas to solve the travel difficulties of half-orc farmers.

Once you get near the magnetite mine, you're not far from the dwarf farming area. If you build a branch road there leading to the river, you can transport the things from Cattail City there, load them onto ships, and then cross the Lengshui River and transport them directly to the dwarf kingdom in the mountains on the opposite bank.

As for the road that continues northward from the magnetite mine to the Misty Moon Forest, that is part of the second phase of the project. When construction will start depends on whether King Minai will become an elf.

King Minai has a bad temper, and Feng Yu is a donkey that goes along with the flow. If you don't discipline him, don't think of taking advantage of Xiangpu City.

Queen Linda joined the Pupu City Council. Feng Yu was ready for a palace drama to unfold at the meeting. After all, power is always accompanied by struggle.

Moreover, Queen Linda, an elf who keeps a low profile, is definitely better at playing the game of power than the straightforward King Minai. Her power and concealment must be much greater, and she may even get involved in the industry and economy of Cattail City.

However, after a period of time, Feng Yu found that he had been judging others by his own standards. Queen Linda not only did not interfere too much in the operation of the meetings in Pupu City, she even rarely expressed biased opinions at the meetings.

Of course, these were all told to Feng Yu by Bo Rui. Feng Yu was too lazy to attend any parliament. He now had time to run between the research institute and the rail engineering project, so he had no time to keep an eye on the parliament.

Time flies, and it is the coldest time again in the wilderness. The cattail fields have stopped growing and the water in the fields has been drained.

In addition to the fragrant snow rice, many Shuitian specialties appeared on the dining tables of the three tribes in Pupu City. Among them, the pickled goose eggs and frog meat became the fashion in the camp, especially the frog meat stir-fried with spicy sauce, fried in oil, and dry-fried. Feng Yu wanted to cry after eating it.

This is what the taste of home is like.

These Chinese specialties not only conquered the residents of the three tribes in Pupu City, but even the goblin merchants were reluctant to leave. Some of the easy-to-store delicacies were even purchased in large quantities as goods and sold to the human world. According to feedback, the effect was quite good.

Feng Yu didn't expect that the first to conquer the Green Continent was not the Earth's industrial system, but the frying, stir-frying and deep-frying of the Great Foodie Empire.

Feng Yu was filled with emotion at this, and could only sigh that foodies really do not discriminate between different worlds.

In the industrial zone of Cattail City, a new factory has sprung up. This factory is a victory for the Research Institute of Cattail City, and is specially used to produce a gas named "light" by Clarence in the Elvish language.

It must be pointed out that this gas is not flammable hydrogen. Its chemical properties are more similar to helium on Earth. It is a very stable inert gas.

Clarence and others didn't know what adjective to use to describe the nature of this gas's unwillingness to react with other objects at first, until Feng Yu "proposed" the word inertia.

The large-scale industrial production of this gas also makes the application of light gas airships a reality.

Although Xiangpu City had previously trial-produced light gas airships, the light gas at that time was produced on a small scale in the laboratory, and the airships were also experimental in nature with limited carrying capacity.

In order to solve the power problem of the airship, the alchemists and metallurgical experts of the research institute used high-strength thin steel plates to build a small and efficient steam boiler, which solved this problem by burning light charcoal as the heat source and driving the propeller to rotate.

What is worth mentioning here is that with the development of industry, Feng Yu’s role in promoting the industry has become smaller and smaller.

Because his main job is programming, the only things he is good at are some knowledge of mathematics and electronics.

When it comes to physics and chemistry, he only knows one side of the story and not the other. It's okay for him to give some vague things like a formula and a direction of development, but when it comes to real food experiments and production, he is completely clueless.
