Chapter 1676: Chapter 825: An Unexpected Complication
All five hundred war chariot team leads t the standard, not because their skills were universally excellent, but as a result of collaboration. Many of the team leads who went to recruit from surrounding towns brought back far more than nine team mbers, prioritizing supplenting those squads that hadn’t t the standard. So even drew from their own squads, even if it ant their own teams weren’t fully staffed.
This is both camaraderie and an excellent opportunity to win hearts, after all, the war chariot team leads are just the foundational structure. There are positions like squad leader, war company leader, and even the war chariot legion commander’s seat still vacant.
And this is precisely what Gaven wanted to see. After all, people have different strengths and weaknesses; it’s impossible for everyone to be a prodigy. A legion is a whole entity ant to complent and collaborate.
In the hustle and bustle, all five hundred tower war chariots, without exception, embarked on the journey to the Laiserman Kingdom.
Just leaving the city took them more than three hours, forming a ten-kiloter-long formation on the Grand Road.
Just like when they first set off on the migration path, they adopted the sa thod of walking, training, and blending.
Not only do those war chariot soldiers need to blend, but these newly made tower war chariots equally require adjustnt.
Being unloaded and loaded are entirely different situations. Especially the tower war chariots’ staggering load capacity places very high stress on the wheels and axles. It’s necessary not just to repair but also to further reinforce.
The war chariot legion had over a hundred ordinary Druids accompanying them, forming ten maintenance squads, each responsible for the upkeep of fifty chariots, while summarizing experiences for the next steps in improving the tower war chariots.
Due to the presence of the Druids, wooden materials have the advantage over steel—it’s more conducive to repairs.
Those wooden components don’t need disassembly. They can be adjusted directly with Bend Wood Art or Wood Shaping Technique as required, even allowing minor modifications of the internal composition to enhance the wood’s hardness and softness.
Replacing wooden materials with durable steel parts remains the trend, especially for products sold externally.
Ordinary people don’t have such a close relationship with Gaven and nature, allowing them to mobilize so many Druids and have them break past traditions.
The Grand Road that turned into a hard, smooth Tarthan Road obviously has ti-saving and labor-saving rits, but this isn’t entirely good for wooden wheels, especially under heavy loads, where the wear speed is astonishing and requires nding every dozen kiloters.
Though nding is rely a Zero Ring Cantrip with low consumption and can be mastered easily by most level one spellcasters with minimal learning, it’s an inconvenience.
Upon seeing this situation, Gaven’s first thought was rubber tires.
Actually, this belongs to natural plantation industries. The key issue is whether Felen has rubber trees.
At least for now, or in the future that Gaven knows of, there’s no trace of such a tree.
This doesn’t an Felen lacks such a species or similar ones because the exploration range of intelligent life in Felen is still very narrow, especially in the southern tropical rainforests dominated by beasts.
Especially the Chult Forest on the Chult Peninsula, which is dominated by dinosaurs, people’s understanding of it currently remains in various rumors.
Moreover, there are more than just continents on Planet Toril, and the Multiverse holds more than a single world. As for others, Gaven has access to a far vaster, more primitive, forest-centric plane—the Fairy Wilderness.
In this respect, he has considerable advantages, dispatching those natural races into the forest to see if they can find rubber for large-scale cultivation.
Speaking of which, apart from being cultivated, what modernized products are obtained through large-scale planting?
Sugar should count as one.
Felen seems to lack large-scale sugarcane cultivation; sugars mainly rely on natural honey, and apples are a scarce source of such.
Another is the cultivation of fast-growing plants.
With a purely Huaxia soul, how could Gaven not think of China’s four ancient inventions, including the Paper Creation Spell and Printing Technique, as these are crucial tools to promote civilization?
But to make paper, a great deal of timber is needed, which absolutely conflicts with the nature conservationists and Natural Deities.
Especially as he moves closer within the Natural Divine System, the Druids play an undeniable role in his developnt, making similar industries more restrictive.
Thinking about advancing the Paper Creation Spell through the felling of existing trees or seeking thods other than planting or naturally withering plants.
For such plants, the first thing Gaven thought of was bamboo.
This plant is also absent in Felen, but it’s surely present in the Far East Empire, as goods transported from there, whether porcelain or embroidery, bear traces of it.
It’s unknown whether this is a coincidence or inevitable.
Planet Toril and Earth are akin to twin siblings; whether in continents or cultural customs, they have many similarities.
The Felen Continent largely corresponds to Earth’s European continent, while Kartu Continent corresponds to Asia, with remarkable similarities in customs, cultures, and specialties, and even so True Gods have their legends on Earth.
The current Soaring Dragon Empire corresponds to ancient China during the Han and Tang periods. Hence, Gaven has always held a natural affinity for this ancient empire located in the Far East, feeling he should have crossed over there as a child of Huaxia.
