CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 177: SHE IS THE DEVIL (10,000 WORDS)

Arriving at the forest edge, Lynn leapt down from Mo Ying and walked toward the logging site.

At the edge of the forest, four hundred townsmen were continuously felling trees with half-meter diameters.

The shadow of the Iron Axe swinging, the humming sound of the Iron Saw being pulled...

After the trees collapsed, seven or eight townsmen worked together on the tree trunks.

Tall logs over twenty meters were divided into three sections and carried back, piling up.

What surprised Lynn was that, with four hundred people uniformly cutting down trees, the entire logging site was astonishingly orderly.

When Lynn spotted that strange yet familiar figure in the distance, he understood.

It was Garcia, with the Talent of "Planning," and doubled efficiency using the Two-Handed Axe!

Lynn looked at a guard and asked him to call Garcia over.

Upon receiving the instruction, the guard immediately walked to the forefront of the logging operation.

Upon reaching Garcia’s side, the guard explained briefly.

When Garcia turned his head and saw Lynn, he promptly put down his Two-Handed Axe and jogged over to Lynn.

Coming before Lynn, Garcia quickly bent over, and his words were full of respect, "Master Lynn."

Lynn responded, "Garcia Paul, how many trees have been cut down now?"

Listening to Master Lynn accurately calling his name, Garcia felt invigorated inside.

After all, standing before him was the Lord of the entire territory!

There were nearly six thousand people in the entire town.

And Master Lynn could call his name precisely; how could he not be excited?

Garcia spoke somewhat hurriedly, "Mas...Master, since you arranged for us to start felling, nearly a thousand trees have been cut so far."

Four hundred people, with two people collaborating to fell a half-meter thick tree, cutting two per day, plus transport and branch clearing.

The efficiency was relatively quick for cutting nearly that many in a few days.

Lynn inquired, "Are they all following your guidance in the felling process?"

A sincere, shy smile appeared on Garcia’s face, "Yes, Master..."

"Because my previous work was cutting trees, I’m somewhat more skilled than they are."

Lynn nodded, "Very well done."

"In the future, I plan to construct a logging processing site at the forest edge, with a workforce of fifty. I need you to lead them as a foreman for logging."

"The main work will involve felling trees and transporting logs to the processing area for further work."

Rail construction requires a large number of sleepers.

And these sleepers will be processed from the logs felled by Garcia.

A look of astonishment appeared on Garcia’s face, "Master, are you saying me?"

"But... I’m afraid I might not live up to your trust, Master..."

Seeing Garcia’s somewhat worried expression, Lynn resolutely said, "How will you know you can’t without trying?"

"Besides, aren’t you doing great now?"

Previously, the forest passage from the Open-pit Iron Mine to the Acadia River was cut through by Garcia leading the logging workers.

Now, here is Garcia again, leading these four hundred logging workers in an orderly felling operation.

Garcia is capable.

But due to his personality, he lacks confidence.

This is straightforward.

Lynn gives him confidence!

Listening to Lynn’s encouraging words, Garcia was taken aback.

But soon.

Garcia seemed to have made up his mind, "Master, I can do it!"

Lynn nodded in satisfaction, "Good."

"From now on, you are the foreman of the logging site, I will have the carpenters from the Woodworker Workshop come here to set up the logging site."

Garcia nodded heavily, "No problem, Master."

Lynn responded softly, and after patrolling the logging site for a moment,

he rolled up his sleeves and joined in the logging of the logs.

...

Slowly, the Collection Experience kept increasing.

Those logging workers, seeing their Lord joining in the logging, became even more diligent.

Time.

was slowly passing by.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Lynn sat in the temporary rest shelter at the back, gulping down well water.

Looking at the various cleaned logs, his mind rapidly calculated.

The distance from the open coal mine to the town is two miles.

If each sleeper is laid approximately one meter apart, two miles is ten thousand meters, requiring ten thousand sleepers alone.

Assuming a sleeper width of two meters, from a twenty-meter tall log, that meets the size requirement for a sleeper, at most only five sleepers can be produced.

Just the need for sleepers requires cutting down two thousand trees!

This doesn’t even account for the rail wood needed for the tracks!

Including the rail wood, a twenty-meter high log, after removing the top and bottom sections, can at most be processed into one ten-meter rail wood.

For the twenty-mile rail for mine carts to run back and forth, a thousand more trees for rail wood are needed!

In total, at least eleven thousand are needed!

Felling this many logs is a major undertaking.

Assuming two people can only cut two trees a day, even after drafting all the construction workers from the Papermaking Workshop and the Carpenter Apprentice, it’s only about a thousand people.

This means.

It would take a thousand people logging continuously for ten days to gather enough timber for the wooden tracks.

Though it may seem slow, Lynn understood that even if it is slow, it must be done.

While the efficiency of extracting Anthracite is sufficient, the transport capacity of wagons is truly limited.
