Chapter 2448
"7. Intermediate Sewing Tools"
"8. Intermediate Weaving Technique"
"9. Intermediate Cooking Tools"
"10. Intermediate..."
【End of List】
Over a dozen technologies had been unlocked in total.
All of them were the most basic technologies.
Zhao Chi roughly analyzed it — basically, the professions with more workers unlocked technologies faster.
Although Zhao Chi already had produced a large amount of fashion and equipment, the technologies for these two professions were not the first to unlock.
The first to unlock was agricultural tools.
Because the agricultural population was the largest.
Besides the planting team led by Gu Yan, there were also over ten thousand flower demons, as well as those tens of thousands of slave laborers who were all using planting tools, constantly working and reclaiming land.
With so many people accumulating together, the two agricultural technologies were the first to unlock.
【Intermediate Planting Tools】 All planting work speed +20%, quality +20%
【Intermediate Reclamation Technique】 Reclamation speed +30%
Besides agriculture, the second category of technologies to unlock was construction.
This was not strange.
The construction team led by Fang Li was building without stopping for a single moment.
Now, 80 women of various races from Taoyuan arrived every day, and every day they needed stable, well-built houses that could accommodate 80 people.
Besides these, there were also corresponding public facilities, roads, warehouses, granaries, and so on and so forth — all of them were being worked on by Fang Li's construction team.
Besides the professional construction workers, a large number of slave laborers had also been transferred by Fang Li to help out.
So construction technologies were the second to unlock.
Then came forging and sewing, the third and fourth to unlock respectively.
After that were profession technologies like cooking, animal husbandry, and so on.
But those professions with fewer people had not yet unlocked, and still needed some time — for example: carpentry, fertilizer-making, oil-pressing, medicine-making, and so on.
Each category that unlocked had 2 technologies unlocked.
One was a tool type, one was a technique type.
The tool type gave the most bonuses, both providing a 20% speed and quality boost to the entire profession.
The technique type belonged to more subdivided technologies within each profession category — only the corresponding work could receive the bonus, but the bonus was also greater, at a 30% increase.
It was acceptable.
Zhao Chi now looked at these 20%, 30% bonus ranges and was already a bit indifferent.
For an ordinary lord, this kind of increase was very high.
After all, it was technological iteration.
Actually, the numbers were not low.
But Zhao Chi already was used to +165%, +330% and other increases, and now really did not pay much attention to it.
But of course, it was still a good thing for technology to have a breakthrough.
Zhao Chi was naturally also quite happy.
The technique type was a direct bonus and was already in effect.
But the tool type still needed to be made.
Usually it was the blacksmiths who made them, and carpenters also needed to make some tool handles to go with them.
With so many master-level blacksmiths now, making some intermediate tools was absolutely easy.
And they should have already made quite a few.
When Zhao Chi had just been making fashion, he had already felt that those sewing tools were more handy.
It seemed the territory had already replaced a batch.
But he did not know the specific quantity.
After all, the blacksmiths had previously been making weapons and equipment, so they probably had not had time to make these tools — they had only started recently.
Zhao Chi closed the system.
He asked Su Qin: "Su Qin, how is the tool replacement progress in the territory? The tool-type production should be quite fast, right?"
"Huh?"
Su Qin's cheeks flushed slightly.
She had been staring at Zhao Chi in a daze.
She had not heard the question Zhao Chi had just asked.
Zhao Chi repeated it again.
Su Qin's breathing quickened slightly as she said: "Mm... it's probably replaced about 26% now. If we let each blacksmith use 1 Quick-Work Talisman, they can all be finished today, and everyone can be equipped with the new tools."
There were 1,500 blacksmiths.
Each using 1 Quick-Work Talisman was only 1,500 talismans — completely affordable.
Of course, the sooner this matter was done, the better.
Letting the female craftsmen all use new tools meant bonuses for everything they did, and the blacksmiths could also make equipment faster later on — worth investing a little.
Zhao Chi said: "Good, then later help me distribute them to Ding Dang and the others. You... how are you?"
Su Qin was already restless and unable to sit still.
She sat on the wooden chair, fidgeting constantly.
She normally didn't cross her legs.
But today her two long legs seemed extremely restless.
One moment this leg was on top, the next she'd switch to the other.
But one could tell that, no matter how her legs were positioned, she was pressing them tightly together — who knew what she was holding in.
Su Qin said: "This prop's effect... is really a bit intense. If I didn't know you like before, maybe I could find some other way to deal with it, but now that I'm with you every day... it really doesn't seem to work."
Zhao Chi nodded: "Is it uncomfortable, or...?"
"It's exactly what you're thinking."
Su Qin didn't hide it in the slightest.
Zhao Chi checked the system time — less than ten minutes had passed since she used it.
Zhao Chi smiled: "This is your first time trying it. It's best if you can hold out for the full fifteen minutes. When the time's up and you go all the way... you'll fly."
Su Qin pressed her lips together: "You saying that makes me even more... hurry, think of a topic, distract my attention."
Zhao Chi said: "I just saw you were completely baffled by Shangguan Ting. How about I tell you what just happened with her?"
"Mm... okay... okay, I really am curious... how many minutes has it been?"
"Haha, almost ten minutes. Just wait a little longer."
"Oh... hurry up and talk."
Zhao Chi told her the whole story from beginning to end, but Su Qin clearly didn't care about any of it at all.
At this point she simply couldn't take in a word, squirming nonstop in the chair.
Her swallowing was even more obvious, and her breathing was heavy too.
"Fourteen minutes. Almost there."
Su Qin stood up directly.
Zhao Chi heard a faint squelch.
Her outfit was stuck to the chair, and when she suddenly pulled away, it made a sticky sound.
Su Qin sighed: "... I'll get ready first... if only I'd taken off the outfit earlier, these outfits are basically unsalvageable..."
With a few quick motions, she threw the outfit on the ground.
Then she came over to help Zhao Chi remove his outfit.
The time was up, just right.
Su Qin couldn't wait to sit down.
"Oh! My! God!"
Truly overwhelming — eagles striking across the open sky.
