Chapter 328: Construction of defensive towers
During the first days of January, all the citizens and slaves prepared for the construction of the new defense system of watchtowers.
For this, Einar began the year with an increase of 10,000 recruits who would join the existing 2,000 to be the backbone of the army.
Einar, who was in front of one of the towers under construction, looked at Seren, who was next to him “We must be careful with the construction because it has to be done with the measurements we set.
Review committees must be established as the security of the troops depends on the strength of these towers and bunkers.
Also, because we have access to oil, the new towers must have a system of siphons and pipes to expel napalm. “
Seren was surprised by Einar’s new word “Napalm is like Greek fire?”
Einar smiled and shook his head “It is very difficult to say, but they are completely different because the manufacturing process, I think, is not the same.
Either way, it can be called the Nordic fire, a completely different version of the mythical Greek fire.
Although one day I should be able to ask Kassia how the mythical Greek fire is made, I think it is something she should say if she sees fit.
I don’t want to have to force her to tell me something she can’t possibly manufacture.
However, on the outside of the pipes there should always be blubber lamps which must be filled daily.
In order to guarantee the correct operation of the flamethrowers that you open in the towers, with these lamps, the Nordic fire that comes out of the pipes will be lit.
Although its power will only be concentrated in the front of the defensive towers, it will be enough to make the enemies move to the sides.
Where they will have to pass the electrified barbed wire, which reminds me that in a few days we have to oversee the Stirling engine factory.
We must produce enough coal and natural engines to guarantee the proper functioning of all our projects.
We also have to build enough alternators to be able to achieve a proper advance in electrical production. “
Seren, who was writing down in a notebook, frowned “Speaking of electricity, it only works to produce energy but it has another function.
Apart from assisting in chemical processes and electrifying the barbed wire, it has another function. “
Einar sighed and looked seriously at Seren “I would love to tell you yes, but at the moment it is impossible to do something functional.
Until I can produce sound or light like that of a candle, when I can do that.
It could create an expensive but faster data transmission system than optical telegraph towers, which will help.
But a message takes minutes to get from one side of the island to the other. With electrical energy, we could create an immediate communication signal to make a real telegraph.
A tool that will take us to a whole new future, but for the moment, I would like to ask you how the development of the spinning machine is going. “
Seren showed a smile and when she turned a few pages of her notebook, she found a text that she had written “The last tests with the design that you made are being carried out in Ibsen’s workshop.
If everything goes correctly, it will be mass-produced for the loom factories. Also the construction of the sheep’s wool cleaning areas are being built quickly.
I have to thank the large number of people who are coming to the island, because it is because of them that we can work quickly.
I just hope they keep bringing high-quality merchandise like the one they’ve been bringing. “
Anders, who was with Nelda, just frowned as he listened to Nelda’s words.
“I think that King Einar is quite interesting. He is confident that he can donate to the Norse who come to his land.
Since you want to have a population, I will help you spread your message in all corners of the Scandinavian world. I hope you are prepared.
For although many wish they were in their lands working, most Vikings only want riches, but I suppose they are lucky.
Well, the situation in the Franco empire is more attractive for the Vikings than for the adventurers who seek to conquer their island.
From tomorrow I will be in contact with Nordic merchants to bring the news about this Konungar Einar Odin’s Chosen One.
He is a true hypocrite, or he knows how to do things because that is a very pretentious title, but he can have a slave trade and he promised to help us.
I think we can help you, unfortunately, the number of slaves will be greatly reduced without the income of the Franks.
But I’m pretty sure with close kingdoms we’ll get roughly 30,000 to 40,000 people.
It won’t be much, but it will be enough to have a pretty nice sale. By the way, tell me what that mythical city of Asgard is like. “
Nelda clung to Anders’ arm “It is a city that is being built at all times, it is even more beautiful than the cities of the Franco empire.
Not only that, its walls are gigantic and are made with quite novel angles, since the walls are inclined.
According to King Einar, that is because they can better resist any kind of siege weapon. He said some more advanced things, but I was more aware of what the city looked like.
Not only that, the slaves have smiles on their faces and some of the citizens have clothes of different colors.
Which are quite strange to the clothes we wear, even the bras worn by Nordic women are more beautiful and expose skin than the one I buy. “
Anders raised an eyebrow and looked at his wife “I hope you bought a pair of those bras. I think they would look great on your body.”
Nelda climbed on Anders like she was riding him and gave him a mischievous smile.
“You’ll have to find out on your own, but I’ll give you a little sneak peek.”
Nelda took off her dress, revealing her huge breasts covered by a purple bra.
Which made her breasts quite firm and soft. Anders brought his face close to Nelda’s breasts and smelled them with lust.
“I suppose blessed be Herald Einar for such a wonderful invention.”
