Compared to the excitement of the Warcraft Legion training base, the Pharmacist Academy next door is another scene.

At first glance, Hudson thought he had gone to the wrong place and ran into the slaughterhouse.

There are screams of animals everywhere, it's hard to imagine that this is a pharmacist training.

"My lord, why are you here?

This place is filthy, and your status is noble, so you have to..."

Before the old pharmacist could finish speaking, Hudson waved his hand and interrupted: "It doesn't matter, I'll just come over and take a look.

Mr. Shabotai, what are you training for, what is the scene like..."

"Dear Earl, these are apprentices practicing bone setting. For safety reasons, let them conduct experiments on animals first.

Some unworthy guys have done nothing serious and disturbed the earl. I will punish them now..."

Shabotai said tremblingly.

They were all forced by the war. If the continental war hadn't suddenly broken out, Hudson would definitely have taken one step at a time, first building canal merchant ships and pirate ships to gain experience, and then slowly getting involved in the manufacturing of ocean-going merchant ships and warships.

As he walked forward, looking at the country he had conquered, Hudson couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

With such little market demand, running a production line would definitely be a loss.

In this context, nobles naturally place more emphasis on magic potions with better effects. As for the issue of medical costs, that is not something that big people need to consider.

Even if you have a bunch of cannon-casting information in your hand, it is only a theoretical basis, and there is still a long way to go before the current advanced level of the mainland.

In Hudson's impression, a large ship, a large number of magic crystal cannons, and a high level of magic array equaled strong combat effectiveness.

There are only so many cities in hand. All of them are equipped, so there are only a few dozen gates.

The real technical content is the magic crystal cannon that needs to be installed later, and the magic circle that must be arranged by magicians.

Hudson's requirements are not high. As long as it can absorb 10% or 20% of the population, it will be enough for the mountain leaders.

Obviously, the long-term suppression by the Holy See has caused pharmacists to lose their pride.

These big things don't need to be replaced every day. Once they are on the city wall, their service life usually starts at thirty years. If they are well maintained, they can be used after two or three hundred years.

While meeting the deadline, we must also ensure the quality of the warship. The vast sea is full of uncertainties, and any negligence may cause disaster.

After all, it is just a wooden warship, and its power is mainly driven by human power. The technical content in the process of building the hull is not that high.

After finally finding a good job, Shabotai didn't want to lose his job just because he offended the lord.

Hudson said helplessly.

It was difficult to start a business, but he was able to build such a business in just a few years. Looking back, he found it a bit incredible.

…

Perhaps because he was worried that Hudson wouldn't understand, Sears tried his best to use plain language, but it was actually of no use.

Hudson has made statistics and found that in the past two or three years, the major forces have successively sent a population of at least three to four million to the prairie.

Not only is transportation difficult, but also prone to various accidents. Even if a large number of refugees are accepted, and they can travel thousands or even tens of thousands of miles on foot, only a few will reach the mountainous territory safely.

It was precisely because of the hard life of pharmacists that after Hudson issued a recruitment order, he was able to gather teachers in the shortest possible time.

Originally, the magic crystal cannon was a niche product. Except for the large nobles engaged in overseas trade and those in northern Xinjiang who had greater demand, the demand of most nobles was very limited.

Of course, in addition to increasing the number of magic crystal cannons, there are also people who are working on magic crystal cannons.

As for the issue of the magic crystal cannon and magic array, I will personally coordinate with them and it will not affect your construction progress.

Troubled times bring not only "risks" but also "opportunities." Whether we can make further progress in troubled times depends on whether we can survive the crisis and seize the opportunities.

The largest warship currently has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons. The level of the magic array is unknown, but there are four more magic crystal cannons.

Hudson asked, pointing to the keel in the dock.

Magic potions are ideal, but the price remains high and it is difficult to meet the needs of officers.

If Hudson doesn't explain, many students may suffer unreasonable disasters.

Once the Continental War broke out, the original plan could no longer keep up with the times. In order to meet practical needs, Hudson had to build several merchant ships that could deal with pirates.

In fact, the countries to the west of the Northern Continent have more people, but the journey in between is too long and has to pass through many countries.

"Um!

"Don't be nervous, you're training yourselves, I'm just here to take a look.

Whether it was accepting refugees in the past or buying serfs directly from local noble lords, it was a good deal.

The construction period is indeed very tight, but it is not impossible to complete. Before coming, he also did his homework and roughly figured out the time required to build warships and merchant ships.

It's not for trade, it's just to protect its own merchant ships so that they can transport a large number of people back from overseas.

Hudson has always been very tolerant towards talents. Even if a pharmacist's social status is very low, the treatment he receives in the Mountain Territory is still not bad.

While confident, there is also a hint of fear in the brows. The shipyard has indeed worked hard, but hard work does not mean that the lord is satisfied.

After talking a lot, Hudson finally remembered it and the warship entered the second echelon.

With a full complement of 923 people, the entire ship needs to be equipped with thirty-six magic arrays of various types. The normal sailing speed is fifteen kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed of the magic array can reach thirty kilometers per hour when driven at full strength.

If this is just the case, considering that the side effects are smaller than those of divine magic, it is not unacceptable.

For Hudson, this is obviously a good thing. It means that in the initial stage, you can directly buy the finished magic crystal cannon for use, without spending a lot of time and investing huge funds in production and research and development.

Several other warships, because they started construction later, have just completed keel laying, and the completion time is expected to be a few months later.

No matter how bad the medical system is, it is still better than none. Thanks to the efforts of these pharmacists, the infant mortality rate in the territory has dropped significantly.

From a pure efficiency point of view, priests are indeed more suitable for the army, but that stuff costs lives!

Many veterans who have received treatment from priests age quickly and have to retire from the battlefield within a few years.

The traceless swamp is where his dream began. Now it has turned into a large area of ​​fertile farmland. Maybe it won't be long before the swamp will become history.

Other big families don't do it themselves, not because they don't have technical reserves, but mainly because of cost.

Given the choice, Hudson still didn't like to use soldiers as consumables.

Independent research and development, I haven’t thought about it yet. The technical content of the magic crystal cannon is too high, and the mountain leaders will not be able to touch it in a short time.

In addition to these warships, don’t forget the merchant ships under construction. No matter how many difficulties there are, these ships must all be put into use within the year!”

Mr. Sears assured immediately.

If one person can't do it, then everyone should work together. Except for a few independent aristocrats with deep pockets and high demand, the rest get their goods from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The hierarchical world is so cruel. The slightest expression of emotion by those at the top will frighten the people below.

Anyway, the magic crystal cannons he needs now are purchased directly from the Ministry of Military Affairs, which basically represent the most advanced technology of the Alpha Kingdom.

The results have been produced, which proves that promoting pharmacy at the grassroots level is correct, so it is natural to increase investment.

However, Lord Earl, you can rest assured that we are doing our best to complete the construction of the warship in the shortest possible time."

More refugees either died on the way or defected to their new masters along the way. Given the choice, who would be willing to stupidly walk all the way here?

If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family. Most old people and children cannot bear this kind of long journey.

During the war, he did not have as big a name as he does now. Instead, after the war, after the publicity from a large group of fans, his "famous general label" became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it is not difficult to understand why the pharmacist is in such a miserable condition.

With so many people, it would be impossible to evacuate them all within a short period of time. The powerful people could not protect themselves, let alone the serfs under them.

If the subsequent armament installation on the warship goes smoothly and the arrival of the magic crystal cannon is not delayed, the installation can be completed in about two months.

As he walked down the canal and watched the smoke rising from both sides of the river, Hudson couldn't help but smile.

You must know that your master came from the battlefield, and some small scenes do not matter at all.

Moreover, the level of all applicants is not low, and there is no such thing as cheating. In the continent of Aslant, the price paid by civilians for deceiving nobles is often death.

Thanks to this concept, casualties in all the wars in which Hudson participated were kept at a low level.

"Mr. Sears, when will this warship be ready for service?"

From the fact that the military sent people over from time to time to urge the ship, Sears knew that the lord paid great attention to this matter and was afraid that the shipbuilding progress would not meet the requirements.

The design is 72 meters long, 17 meters wide, with a displacement of 2,486 tons. It is planned to be equipped with six magic crystal cannons and a medium-sized magic crossbow...

"My lord, this warship is the first large warship built after the shipyard was relocated.

One-third of his title as a famous general was promoted by the orcs, one-third was the mutual praise between nobles, and the other third was the fans of the lower-level soldiers.

Without the support of the rulers and facing pressure from the Holy See, it is difficult for pharmacists to maintain their inheritance, let alone gain social status for themselves.

The orc army is back, and without external support, it is only a matter of time before the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland fall.

The subsequent carving of the magic circle will require help from people at the magic academy. How long it will take is uncertain.

Before that, there was no need to hope. As far as Hudson knew, among the great nobles in the Alpha Kingdom, there were only two or three that could cast magic crystal cannons alone.

Even in a country like the Alpha Kingdom, which does not pay the Holy See's debt, the status of a pharmacist is a lowly profession, and one can only survive at the bottom.

Even if the majority of the troops under his command are cannon fodder, he will try to reduce casualties as much as possible.
