Well, if it weren't for the fact that Songhai Town doesn't produce food, I would be able to share some of your pressure with you.

Bertaya shook his head slightly, feeling helpless. The geography of Songhai Town was even worse than that of Qingyuan and Snow Valley, making it impossible to grow food on a large scale.

However, the territory is rich in minerals and the sales of special pine wood are also good, so that the territory's expenses and construction can be maintained.

Also, regarding Gudern's suggestion, how many people do you plan to bring to Qingyuan Town?

Hmph, doesn't he want people? He needs to be able to feed the people in Snow Valley Town, and he can even drag half of them over. Anyway, when the war comes, I will have to support these people.

But if so many people are given to Gudern, will it speed up his development?

Bertaya was also a little worried about such a large number of people moving to Qingyuan Town.

What are you afraid of? If you leave these people to him and manage them all alone, Gooden won't be able to figure them out in a month or two.

In addition, I can't just let him take over this group of people smoothly. I have arranged for more than thirty people to mix in and let them find some 'fun' for Gudern from time to time.

Gejir said indifferently, and casually told the other party his arrangement.

Moreover, there are less than three and a half months left before the plan. What can these lazy people do with this little time? Apart from wasting and consuming Gudern's food, it will have no other effect.

After thinking about the coming days and weather, Bertaya became less worried, and then shook his head with regret.

It's a pity that the team transporting money from Jinyuan City went together with the food collection team and the army. There are too many people to attack.

When talking about this matter, Gergil was also a little helpless.

The original plan was to find an opportunity to ambush Gudern's money transport team, but for the first time, they encountered the army's action of adding a grain requisition team.

A team of several hundred people would not dare to take action even if they were given twice as many people.

Missing one person is a huge trouble for them.

It's okay. This matter is not urgent. According to my information, throughout the winter this year, the auction house in Jinyuan City will probably have business contacts with Gudern.

We still have many opportunities. As long as we make a profit, even if the Orc attack fails next spring, we can continue to hold on for a while.

Gejir didn't care about this failure. As long as he found an opportunity, it would be easy to make such a fortune.

Gooden is not worried at all about the partnership design between the two nearby families.

Faced with the hijacking of the convoy, he had already expected that the army would be responsible for Feroz's subsequent transportation, and he would pay a carriage and horse fee as a reward.

In this matter of earning extra money, Feroz also obtained the consent of the city lord Bernard and allowed the military escort request.

The only thing that worries him is the production of small town resident ID cards. Now that all the work has been completed, only the last step of the 'photo' issue is left.

In order to be able to quickly identify the ID card and the person one by one, using photos is the best and most convenient option.

But now there is a question, how to take photos and burn them in a different world?

Chapter 98 Thousands of people arrived, filled with anger

Photography, such a high-end optical technology, cannot be reproduced by Gooden at all.

But in addition to the anti-counterfeiting measures of taking photos, he also thought about other better anti-counterfeiting measures.

After researching for a while, I still couldn’t get a clue, so I could only go back to my room to rest temporarily and come back to study again tomorrow.

A night of silence.

At noon the next day, the convoy loaded with grains returned to Jinyuan City first, and then was sent to the treasury.

Accompanying them is the Chamber of Commerce team, returning with the goods. As the tax collector, Kroger should leave together.

But what Gooden discussed with him last night will have to be handled by him in the future.

Therefore, we will stay in Qingyuan Town for the time being, waiting for the tax collector and grain team from Xuegulin to arrive, and then return to the handover work together after that.

Gudern, who originally studied ID card security, really couldn't find any clues, so he had no choice but to go out and solve another problem - the blast furnace equipment at the core of the forging smelting plant.

This part of the task has been accumulated for a long time, and the engineering institute has already made a mini version of the preliminary design drawing to verify the feasibility.

After confirming that everything is normal, it is time to forge the finished product and build the core.

It is not impossible to leave this step to the forging department of the research institute, but unfortunately there are too many new people, and those with skilled experience are still responsible for the forging and second-generation improvement process of the steam engine, so the progress has not been impressive.

Now that there is nothing to do, Gudern also came to personally push the progress and get the steel smelting plant completed and started as soon as possible.

With a mutated furnace fireball in one hand and an automated magical modification hand in the other, Gudern has mastered the 'transformation' of basic magic.

With the blessing of various entries, in one day, Gudern completed the construction of all the components needed by the institute for half a month.

At the same time, it was not appropriate to leave the assembly work to anyone on the other side, so Gudern simply appeared in person. After the surrounding personnel were cleared at night, he used the convenience of magic hands to quickly set up the assembly.

All the prefabricated parts were assembled and welded step by step just like building Lego toys. In less than an hour, a giant blast furnace eleven meters high, eight meters wide and sixteen meters long appeared 'out of thin air' at the arranged site.

Of course, the construction is completed after the construction is completed, but if you really want to use it, you have to install the supporting equipment together.

For example, the cooling water tower of the blast furnace, the steam engine room that provides power, the warehouse for storing raw materials, etc., are all placed by the engineering team and the research institute.

After completing the construction, Gooden did not forget to check the panel data of the blast furnace.

[Name: Unfinished Blast Furnace]

[Entry: semi-finished product, vacant entry, vacant entry]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Introduction: Equipment capable of smelting large amounts of metal, with an inner furnace capacity of fifteen cubic meters]

Since it is still in a semi-finished state, the entries it can have are still due to the blessing of excellent quality.

Gudern expects that once the project is completed, the entry panels for the finished blast furnace should be available.

This time it is just to check the reliability of the blast furnace. As long as there is certification of the panel, there will not be much deviation in the actual usage.

After swiping out three useless entries, Gudern also returned to the castle to rest.

The next day, the residents of the town who got up early showed shock and shock when they saw the blast furnace that had risen overnight.

How could such a huge steel building be erected overnight?

If it weren't for the lord's guard soldiers standing around, these bold citizens would have had to go up and observe and study it up close.

The personnel responsible for the blast furnace project from the Engineering Research Institute also started carrying various completed equipment to the blast furnace early in the morning to start the subsequent assembly work.

Steel bars, steel ingots, steel plates, these are the forging requirements given by Master Gudern.

Therefore, a movable three-way opening is designed at the end of the tapping water tank below the blast furnace to branch out three production lines.

The construction work of the branch's forging equipment has been completed long ago, and now it is the overall assembly work and the debugging of the subsequent equipment.

Gooden looked at this part for a while and then went back to continue studying the solution to the ID card problem.

Regarding this solution, Gooden also has a general research direction in mind.

That is to use the collection method of pixel blocks for engraving. The specific method is similar to the humanoid printer in an amusement park.

As long as people stick it from one side, a three-dimensional image will be highlighted on the other side.

Gudern plans to use this to make a face collector, print the protruding parts with smaller and more precise conversions, and 'print' a bumpy face in the specified area on the ID card.

In this way, even without color rendering, you can quickly distinguish whether the person holding this ID card matches the appearance above.

It also has a dynamic three-dimensional effect similar to that of a knighthood medal. The cost of counterfeiting is extremely high, so it can be regarded as an alternative anti-counterfeiting advantage.

The solution idea is there, and the preliminary verification has been completed. All that is left is to create a finished experimental product.

The idea is simple, but during actual production, Gooden encountered many problems.

For example, if you want to pursue a refined 'reverse mold' reproduction, the moving cylinder of the collector will naturally be smaller, more numerous and more detailed, similar to the principle of pixels.

But if the cylinder is too small, it will turn into a dense mass of 'needles' and the face will be collected, which may cause disfigurement in the end.

At the same time, as the density of collection increases, the fixation of each 'round hole collector' must also be effective, which requires a certain gap between them to install the buckle to avoid slipping and causing 'distortion' in subsequent recording.

Various difficulties made Gudern's research and development very slow, but fortunately with the help of the entries from the ingenious craftsman, he was able to find solutions even if he had different problems and difficulties, and he did not stand still.

The manufacturing work of the facial collector was not completed until the third day, the 18th.

Looking at the collector, which was one meter long and looked like a cube, Gudern sighed silently.

It is really not easy to build this thing. Just under the front collection entrance of the facial collector, which is 40 by 40 centimeters, there are 160,000 square collection needles hidden.

On average, there are one hundred variable collection needles hidden under every cubic centimeter.

The top of the square collection needle is the part that touches the human face. In order to avoid stab wounds, Gooden uses a universal flat iron film that can change with the arc.

In this way, as long as the face reaches a certain standard depth, there will be a lock button on the top of the collector, which can be pressed to lock the collection needle.

And after layer-by-layer scaling processing, the tail of the collector will reduce the proportion of the face to only two centimeters in length and width.

After pulling the special lever and placing the prefabricated ID card in the card slot, the face can be printed directly on the specific position of the ID card.

After completing the collection at the same time, just press the unlock button and pull the push rod to automatically reset for the next round of engraving work.

The overall operation method is extremely simple and is very suitable for fool-like operation.

However, the price for the simple operation is the cumbersome production. In addition to the 160,000 square collection needles, the number of other components of the collector also exceeds 10,000.

If you want to carry out mass production, I am afraid that it will be possible at least until the emergence of automatic lathes.

Otherwise, if the people at the institute were to manually build it, the 160,000 square collection needles alone would make them confused.

Gudern also took advantage of the convenience of magic to create thousands of them at the same time, so that he could fiddle with this sophisticated thing.

At the same time, when making the face collector, Gooden used relevant experience to copy the typewriter and use it to record name, gender, place of origin, address and other information on the ID card.

However, this typewriter can only be used to burn ID cards. If you want to use it for typing, you have to redesign it, but that is not complicated.

All the relevant preparations were completed, and Gudern also called Broman, his royal 'central database', to be responsible for recording information on the residents of the town.

As Broman, who has the most comprehensive information and data in the entire town, he is also the last person to identify Gudern.

Broman, who has a super recording brain, uses the information he records to verify all people with abnormal identities. As long as there is a mismatch, it means there is a big problem with this person.

By then, with the real-name authentication of ID cards and the nepotism of interpersonal relationships in household registration books, it will not be too easy to screen out unsociable 'pests'.

The completion of the facial collector also meant that Gudern could rest for a while, but not long after he and Irene had been fishing to promote their relationship, Old Joseph came to report that Gergil and others came.

You mean, Gejir brought 1,600 people from Snow Valley Town?!

Yes, young master, Baron Gergil is waiting for you in the living room, and the residents he brought are still outside the town...
