Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 606 Let's have a medical exchange sometime.

Responsible for fighting?

Are there fights in hospitals? Is the doctor-patient relationship here really that bad?
The short buried man scratched his head.

To be honest, this touches on a blind spot in the priests' knowledge. The Silent Church is probably the least skilled at medical care.

As a transcendent being, the Burialers' inherent immortality and powerful endurance mean they don't need much treatment. As long as their heads are okay, other wounds can be easily bandaged and will eventually heal.

If something goes wrong with their head, that's exactly where they excel—guess why they're called the Burialers.

The tradition of the buried ones is real. The people of the North take funerals very seriously. The buried ones in the sanctuary will personally dig the graves of noble people, which is an extremely honorable ceremony.

They would also dig their final resting place in advance before each battle.

Those who are buried in immortality are often no longer than mortals.

Even with such a simple and brutal medical approach, I've never seen a hospital director need to be good at fighting.
The Silent Sanctuary did indeed use a flail and incense burner for healing, but it relied on the burning incense oil inside; healing through fighting was far too advanced.

"Well, actually we are a field hospital, and sometimes we need to go to the battlefield to save people. Of course, medical skills are very important on the battlefield, but sometimes studying medicine cannot save the war."

As Nini finished speaking, she straightened her slender waist.

"For example, I saved Gwen and her group on the battlefield, all thanks to the Gatling gun, right, Gwen?"

“Yes! We were almost wiped out back then, but luckily Nini and her Hospitaller Knights came to our rescue. Gatling guns are very powerful medical equipment!” Gwen licked her lips, gripped the flail in her hand, and looked at Nini with some eagerness. “Lady Nini, let’s have a medical spar sometime!”

Nini's tail tip froze.

In reality, Gwen couldn't beat Nini in a direct fight, but the way she fought was really crazy. Nini always felt like she was facing a giant bug flying straight at her face. Whether she could win or not was another matter, but it was really scary.

"Uh, well, we'll talk about it later. Oh, right, let's go out first."

Nini forced a smile and was about to go outside when Ignati's voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Is this hospital built of stone?"

The priests in the sanctuary were taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then showed a look of sudden realization.

The Silent Church has a long tradition of building its churches with massive stones, as only solid rock can withstand the erosion of the White Plague and the biting winds of the North.

This also resulted in extremely high costs for them to build churches. The mining and transportation of rocks were very laborious, and not all places had quarries. All of this combined to make the development of churches extremely slow.

These buried people were long accustomed to the feeling of stepping on a solid stone slab, a feeling they could hardly find again after leaving their homeland.

Castells' architecture is highly fortified, and the hospital is no exception; almost all the buildings, from the consultation rooms to the inpatient wards, are made of poured concrete.

At this moment, as the buried people stepped onto the solid concrete ground, they inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with their hometown.

"This is concrete, which is extremely convenient to use. The buildings constructed from it are not only as sturdy as those made from a single block of stone, but also require far less labor and money."

Ignati's eyes lit up.

Not only him, but the priests behind him also had excited expressions on their faces.

This material sounds perfect for the White Crows. If they could rebuild their homeland with the help of this "concrete" when they return in the future, it would be much faster.
"Can I?"

"Yes." The people in the Silent Sanctuary were taken aback.

"In fact, the North is already using this material. Not only the North, but Bloodharbor, the Duchy of Tiss, and even the entire continent in the future will use Castel's products and materials."

"Are you worried that we might allow the sale of these things? Don't worry, we definitely will. Even if you don't ask, these things will still be sent to you."

For an industrial complex like Castel, expansion inevitably involves dumping goods. The development strategies of industrialized and agricultural countries are completely different. For Castel, leveraging economies of scale to achieve cost dominance was far more beneficial than blocking technology.

On the same production line, Castel's production efficiency is nearly 40% higher than Blood Harbor's, and its yield rate is also higher.

This is because Blood Harbor has completed the basic construction of its industrial system. Other countries without an industrial system cannot manufacture it even if they send all their production lines there.

Not to mention how much trouble cognitive interference can cause; not every force has the ability to deal with pollution.

The priests of the Silent Sanctuary exchanged strange glances; they truly hadn't expected Castel to be so generous.

In this era, which force painstakingly creates something new, doesn't it all try its best to keep it a secret from others?

The empire conquered almost half the continent with its musketeers. If the empress hadn't passed away, they might all be imperial citizens now.

Whenever Ignati's eyes flickered, he had a vague premonition that Castel might be unlike any other country he had ever encountered before.

This time, Nora might really have found hope for the Sanctuary and for the White Raven.

“Look, that’s the Gatling gun.” Nini casually pointed to the machine gun position on the roof.

The reason why there was a machine gun emplacement on the roof of the hospital was complicated to explain, but the people in the Silent Church did not doubt it.

They really treated the Gatling gun as a "medical device"
"Let me think about where I should take you to see this place." After leaving the hospital, Nini hesitated for a moment, then turned to Nora. "What do you think we should see first?"

"Watch the train."

Nora said without hesitation that the railway connecting the North and Bloodharbor was a real game-changer on the continent, allowing Castells' influence to spread to the North.

Even the priests of the Silent Church had heard of it.

They may have been out of touch with the world, but once they arrived in the North, they immediately learned of the existence of the railroad. Anyone who saw that steel behemoth roaring across the land would never ignore its presence.

“Okay, but there’s only freight on the ground here in Castel. Let me take you to see the subway.”

subway?

The buried men were somewhat confused. The word sounded like a combination of underground and railway. They knew about railways, but underground?
Railways can be buried underground? Like a coffin?

This seems quite interesting. I wonder if it can be used at a funeral.

Before she could think it through, Nini, who was standing in front of everyone, suddenly disappeared.

Immediately, her shout came from below:
"Come down quickly, there's a net tunnel entrance right here!"
