CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 173: SCALE ARMOR WITH CHAIN LINER (HAPPY NEW YEAR)

With two hundred fully armed plate armor soldiers, Lynn felt a touch of security for the first time.

Even after the construction of the city wall, it only made Lynn feel slightly at ease.

In this world, only by having a strong armed force, do you have the right to survive, the right to arm wrestle with others.

And now, he already possesses his first fully armed force.

Although compared to other lords or forces, it seems slightly insufficient.

But for now, Lynn is just getting started.

If given enough time, he can forge a steel beast on this territory!

He is not lacking in quality iron, not lacking in fuel to smelt iron ore, as long as the barley planted next year yields a good harvest, he will not lack food either!

His territory can produce all of this.

The only thing Lynn is lacking now is—population!

Lacking soldiers who can understand commands, wear armor, pick up weapons, and charge into battle for him!

Lynn realized that if his territory wants to develop rapidly.

Population remains the hurdle he cannot bypass!

Therefore, Lynn decided.

Unless he has absolute assurance, unless his weaponry and equipment are far superior to the enemy!

Otherwise, he cannot rashly send out troops when the number of soldiers is already not high.

As for winning with fewer troops?

That’s purely nonsensical.

To win a war with fewer against more.

It’s not just about relying on fine equipment to ensure victory!

There must be the right timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony!

Exceptional command ability of the general, advantages in troop types and equipment, terrain reliance, effective intelligence and reconnaissance, the quality and morale of the soldiers, logistics support, etc.

None can be lacking!

Putting aside distractions, Lynn came to the front of the town.

Group after group of townsmen, led by Kuisi, were transporting various materials to the castle not far away.

Coarse wool products, fairly delicate glazed stoneware, chairs and benches, and so on.

Kuisi, walking ahead, saw Lynn and after saying a few words to the women behind her, let them continue moving.

Kuisi came to Lynn, "Master."

Lynn nodded slightly, "How’s the castle decoration going?"

Kuisi began to explain, "Most of the furniture has been completed and moved in."

"Afterwards, we’ll need to transport some grain and meat, etc., to the kitchen cellar for storage."

"Master, these only require manpower to solve, but there is another issue..."

Lynn acknowledged, "Speak."

Kuisi, without any hesitation, said directly: "The windows of the castle!"

"The territory doesn’t produce glazed glass, so we can’t use it as lighting windows like other lords, we can only use wooden shutters or grills..."

"Which will more or less affect the lighting inside the castle!"

Listening to Kuisi, Lynn nodded and said, "Decorate the other parts of the castle first, and install glazed glass windows once they are fired."

Kuisi responded, "Alright, Master."

"I’ll take my leave then."

Lynn acknowledged, allowing Kuisi to withdraw.

His mind started thinking about how to fire glazed glass.

Glazed glass is simply the name in this world.

In essence, it’s just glass.

Even though Lynn hasn’t started working on it, the method of firing glazed glass has already appeared in his mind.

Simply put, it involves selecting appropriate silica sand or quartz sand, adding flux and limestone, heating it to a certain temperature until the quartz sand melts.

Then, pour the molten liquid into molds, wait for the glazed liquid to cool and solidify, and the desired glazed products can be obtained!

With the corresponding molds, you can make window glass or glazed containers, etc.

If this was a few months ago, if he wanted to fire it, it would indeed be difficult.

But now, he not only has a large quantity of quality iron, he also has anthracite that burns to produce high heat.

Building a small glazed glass firing workshop to produce glazed glass is not hard!

After a brief moment of pondering in his mind, Lynn already had an idea.

He headed straight for the pottery workshop.

Although pottery and glassware, whether in raw materials, craftsmanship, or properties of the finished product.

Have significant differences.

However, the specifications and kilns of the pottery workshop can also be used to fire glazed glass!

Only slight modifications and adjustments are needed.

Moreover, the pottery workshop has ready labor!

A dozen minutes later.

Lynn strode into the pottery workshop.

Just as a batch of pottery came out of the kiln, in the midst of busy pottery apprentices, one by one, pieces of glazed stoneware were taken out of the kiln and placed on empty shelves.

The apprentices, upon seeing Lynn, immediately respectfully called, "Lord."

Lynn nodded slightly in response.

Seeing the various colors swirling around these glazed stoneware, Lynn felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

Perhaps prompted by the apprentices’ reminder, the busy Beo approached Lynn.

Noting Lynn’s gaze on the glazed stoneware, Beo explained, "Sir, this batch of glazed stoneware is to be sent to your castle."

Lynn glanced at Beo and immediately understood.

It must be Kuisi who arranged for Beo to make them.

The newly built castle, with him being the lord, Kuisi certainly wouldn’t use ordinary earthenware.

Lynn nodded, "This glazed stoneware is very well made."

Hearing Lynn’s words of praise, Beo felt a slight relief in his heart.
