After the Full Level of the Profession

"Hey? What...what technology?"

Robb took a branch and drew it on the ground: "Look, let's put a row of stakes in the middle of the river, and use these stakes to encircle a part of the river, and pull the net between the stakes, so that, Isn't this section of the river turned into fish ponds one after another? These fish ponds are connected with the river water. If you keep fish in them, they cannot swim away, but only grow up in the net. You don't care about them. , they can also eat the bugs and water plants in the river and grow up slowly, if you feed them something delicious, they can grow quickly. When they grow fat and big, close the net, you All the fish came up."

The cat patriarch took a look: "Huh? Can you still play like this?"

Chapter 335 You Have No Materials

The patriarch of the cat people really taught a lesson hard and was very excited.

In the evening of the second day, when Robb was discussing with the patriarch of the cat people about which sections of the river should be set aside as living water fish ponds, Her Majesty the Queen actually called.

The patriarch of the cat people glanced at the crystal ball vigilantly and said in a low voice, "Godfather, Her Majesty the Queen is on the phone, should we stop our discussion first? Lest she see it."

Robb couldn't help but rejoice: "Hey, I said Uncle Catman, you are also a citizen of the Gran Kingdom, right? You actually want to keep your technology secret from Her Majesty the Queen?"

The patriarch of the cat people said awkwardly: "I think... Godfaether may be an enemy of Her Majesty the Queen, so..."

"Hahaha, don't worry." Robb said with a smile: "I am not an enemy of anyone, it is so tiring to be an enemy, it is the right thing to make friends, and you think that such a dazzling thing as raising fish in living water can hide from Her Majesty the Queen. Is it? This thing is put on the river for people to see, and you can't hide it if you want to. When we build it, the Queen's spies will report it back in minutes. Now Her Majesty is watching us all day long. Zhen, always trying to steal something to learn."

Catman Patriarch: "..."

Robb is really not a black queen. Miss Queen is a person who wants to have both military and political hands, and both hands must be hard. In terms of military affairs, Robb is a mess. Anyway, he fights by himself. Miss Queen can't learn it. . But in terms of internal affairs, Robb has come up with more good things, and the Queen is simply copying it now. Anyway, what the West Wind Town does, the Bright Road will do.

These days, there is no such thing as intellectual property protection, which is easy to copy.

Robb smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, just let Miss Queen be an observer. Maybe she can make some useful suggestions." As he said, he answered the phone.

Her Majesty's calm and graceful gesture appeared in the crystal ball immediately.

The cat patriarch hurried down with a big gift.

Her Majesty the Queen is still the same as before, she completely pretended not to see the characters other than Robb who appeared in the crystal ball, she just looked at Robb: "What are you doing today? Are you tossing your firebox again? "

Robb said with a smile: "No! The firebox is relatively fully functional at present, and the furnace temperature can be adjusted very automatically. I don't plan to toss it again in a short time."

Her Majesty the Queen said, "Then what are you doing? I saw a drawing on the table. It seems that a river is drawn. Do you want to dig a new canal?"

When she said this, she thought of Robb's way of digging the canal last time, and couldn't help being a little lost.

Robb said with a smile: "I don't want to dig a river, I just want to raise fish in the river."

"Raising fish in the river?" The Queen was delighted: "It's a great idea! Then I will send some people to fish hard in the upstream or downstream of Xifeng Town. Isn't it a waste of money? All the fish you raised were caught by me. You must be pissed."

Robb said with a smile: "Catman Patriarch, come and tell Miss Queen how I plan to raise fish in the river. I told you once, but I'm too lazy to tell you a second time."

The patriarch of the cat people didn't dare to yell at Miss Queen like Robb, so he rushed to the crystal ball, picked up Robb's drawings, and explained it in detail: "Your Majesty, what Godfather said is, Put piles in the river, and then surround the nets between the piles, you can enclose a piece of the river, sprinkle fish fry in it, the fish will not be able to swim, and we don’t need to raise them deliberately, the fish will live on their own. If you can grow up, if you feed it casually, the fish will grow fat very quickly."

Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help but stunned when she heard it, but she was a queen after all, she was well-informed, and her thinking was fast, so she was not as simple as the brain of the patriarch.

She laughed immediately: "Robert, you also have times when you miss, haha, it's impossible to succeed with a foolish plan."

"Oh?" Luo Baiqi said: "Why can't it be successful?"

The queen said lightly: "What kind of piles and nets can be soaked in the water for a long time? Also make a pond to raise fish? How is it possible?"

As soon as she said these words, the Catman Patriarch was stunned.

It turns out that people of this era, if they want to drive piling at the bottom of the water, usually refer to driving wooden piles. The stakes are easily broken for some inexplicable reason, and the fish inside are easy to run away.

As for the net, it's even worse. The fishing nets used by people these days are all slag materials. In short, they are woven from flax fibers, and some are also mixed with coarse cloth and old clothes. It is easy to swell when it absorbs water, and it is easy to rot when it is wet, so the fishing net should be dried for two or three days after using it for two or three days to prolong the life of the fishing net. There is an old saying called "fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days", and that's how it came about.

It is a dream to want the net to stay in the water and maintain the shape of a pool. In just a few days, the powder turned into slag, and the fish inside was smashed out with a light bump.

Her Majesty the Queen is a person who has endured hardships, has been exposed to the hardships of people's livelihood, and has lived in the seaside city "Lost City" for many years. She is no stranger to fishing nets. This knowledge is really handy: "Although your idea is good, But whether it is piling or making nets, it cannot be realized, and this living water fish farming technology can only be imagined."

"Cut!" Robb said with a smile: "The stakes and fishing nets are not good, right? Then use something else! Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"

The queen smiled: "What other materials can you use?"

Robb put on a serious thought, as if he was very embarrassed...

The queen likes to see him embarrassed, she is happy when she sees it, and she wants to laugh when she is happy, but her face will not change her expression easily, she must put on a dignified and solemn face, so she just smiles with her eyes and becomes Curved, like two beautiful moons.

She thought Robb had to give up.

Unexpectedly, after posing for ten seconds in a difficult pose, Robb suddenly smiled: "You were very proud of seeing me in a difficult situation just now, right? Haha! I'll show it to you, just to make you happy, In fact, I have long thought about what to use for netting and piling."

The queen was startled: "For what?"

Robb waved his hand, and two iron ingots and a piece of coal flew out. He rubbed his hands together: "Steel ingots!"

Rub your hands again: "Wire!"

Then, Robb put on a cheap smile and smiled at the crystal ball: "Miss Queen, you seem to have forgotten that I can still use steel. I use steel wire to weave the net, and use steel pillars for the bottom of the water. Piling, hehe, do you think my living water can raise fish?"

"This thing will rust too!"

"But it rusts very slowly and can be used for a few years without any problem. When it rusts, you need to replace a batch of nets!"

Chapter 336 Carburizing

Of course, steel also rusts, but steel rusts at a much slower rate than iron. Using steel wire to make a net can solve the problem of fish farming to a certain extent. Of course, fishing nets are best made of materials such as nylon, but the world has not yet started to engage in chemical engineering, only some alchemists are conducting the most basic chemical research, and advanced chemical products such as nylon should not be delusional.

When the queen saw the steel wire, all her complacency just flew to the sky outside Jiuxiao Yun, and she said angrily, "How much steel do you need to make a net that can keep fish in the river? How much does it cost? You just raise a few broken fish, Putting so much steel into it will only make you lose money, and you won't be able to earn it at all."

Robb said with a smile: "No, you are mistaken, this thing of steel will soon become one of the most valuable things in Westwind Town, um, after your mine is digging like mine, where will you be? The steel will also become worthless, and then you will find that it is very cost-effective to use steel wire as a net to raise fish, believe it or not?"

The little head of the patriarch of the cat people swayed from side to side. I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all. How could steel become the most worthless thing? This thing has never been worthless, it has always been super expensive, okay, an iron pot can be sold for a lot of money.

However, Miss Queen believes it!

Because she knew that Robb's mining company's ability to produce steel was extremely abnormal. With the cooperation of the minecart and the large-scale smelting furnace, the molten iron spewed out of the furnace as if it didn't need money. That speed...

The only thing that is gratifying is that a railroad track that Miss Queen managed to build up by smashing the pot and selling iron has also entered the mine. It won't be long before her mining company will start to produce a lot of iron, but it can barely keep up with Robb's. play.

What she is worried about now is that Robb is a pair of threes, she can play a pair of fours, Robb is a pair of fives, she can play a pair of six, but if Robb has a pair of kings one day, what will she do with it? ? Just like the mining robot last time, Miss Queen couldn't keep up with it at all. Fortunately, Robb dismantled it himself, as long as the engine was left, otherwise Miss Queen would really vomit blood.

Now there is one thing that Miss Queen can't keep up with, that is-steel!

Robb's steel is made by himself, with high hardness and strong corrosion resistance.

But Miss Queen's subordinates are still using the ancient process of "Hundreds of Steelmaking", which is to use iron to repeatedly beat, beat, beat a hundred times, which is also called "Hundred Refinements". Remove the impurities in it, increase its hardness, and then it feels hard and black as if it is very powerful, so it is called "steel", and together it is called "Hundred Steelmaking".

In fact, in the eyes of a modern person like Robb, it is still iron, and cannot be called steel at all.

Miss Queen looked aggrieved: "How on earth did you make this steel? It's just that you refuse to teach me the pudding with your hands. You shouldn't hide something like steel and don't teach it, it's not for eating. ."

Rob was amused: "Why can't I teach you just by eating?"
