Chapter 20: Reclamation and experiment

　　 "Happy birthday! Congratulations, you are twelve years old today."
　　 Back home, Marina prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the family celebrated with joy. Ace felt like a dream. He had lived in this world for twelve years, and if he had lived in the memory of his awakening past life, he had lived for five years.
　　 The details of his previous life are becoming more and more blurred, while the memories of this life are getting clearer and clearer. He smiled and looked at the family here, with some nostalgia in his heart, unable to go back.
　　According to Peter's suggestion, Ace compiled the content of this speech, especially the content of concepts and their relationships, into a book, named "Logic Volume 1" and handed it to Romon to print.
In the past few days, a whirlwind of logic has been blown in the city-state academic circles. The nobles and citizens are proud of discussing logic. Ace won the nickname "Ace the Wise". It is said that he was enlightened by the goddess of wisdom. Goddess favors.
　　 Ace was not immersed in the honor. One day after that, as soon as the city gate opened in the morning, he took advantage of the moonlight to leave Medemus City. Accompanying him were 20 veterans hired by Romon, 400 slaves (200 each for men and women) and a large amount of supplies, and Ace could not wait to establish his own experimental field.
　　 Going back to the manor to take a rest, Ace bought a large piece of wasteland extending from the surrounding area to the mouth of the river through the manor. He also found something similar to hops in the wasteland. One of the hills also had a small iron ore.
　　The city-state does not prohibit private mining and smelting of iron, only one-tenth of the iron ingots must be paid.
　　The land outside the city is cheap in this world. After all, it is not safe and sparsely populated. Everyone yearns for the city. The first block is even more expensive. Although the low-level monsters outside the city have been cleaned up many times, they will still grow like weeds.
　　 Ace is not the case, he is in need of low-level monsters as research objects, 400 slaves and 20 mercenary veterans, enough force and manpower to survive. After months of observation, the farming methods in this world are relatively primitive. Many places are slash-and-burn cultivation, lacking intensive farming and water conservancy irrigation technology.
Ace can just promote the technology of the previous life on a small scale, build water conservancy, intensive farming, mine steel, update iron, distill wine, train slave warriors, catch low-level monsters, and experiment new medical techniques in your own manor without worry. Any impact.
　　 In short, he wants to establish an economic entity with himself as the apex of the pyramid.
The goal of this economic entity is to achieve its own extraordinary road. Ace re-measured and integrated the newly purchased land, and established a new settlement near the river, near the sea mouth, the land is fertile, and not far from the iron mine. Ground.
　　He plans that in the future, this settlement will grow into a manor town, which can accommodate two to three thousand people.
　　 City-state law, a noble or citizen family, the maximum number of slaves is 3000 people, the extra slaves need to be sold within three months, otherwise the city-state will be forcibly purchased at the price of 50 silver talers.
　　 Slaves who are in prime of life can sell one or two quintals, and they can be more expensive if they have a skill. Only children are only worth 50 silver talers. No one wants to be bought by the city.
　　 The slaves purchased by Ace are all trained slaves. Even the barbarians have been trained for half a year. They speak crudely, plus twenty mercenaries, so there is basically no need to worry. He divided the slaves into ten production teams, a team of forty people, to reclaim the fertile land around the river.
　　 From the slaves, he promoted the meek and obedient, working hard as the captain, whipped the stabbing head, and quickly established authority. A group of ten people, divided into two groups to supervise the work in turn, the first three production teams with fast progress will be rewarded with dinner, and the last three production teams with slow progress will have no food to eat at night.
　　 After several sets of combined punches, the reclamation of the new settlement of Ace is progressing smoothly. He asked Marina to manage the slaves in her own way and concentrate her efforts on reclaiming the land for spring planting.
　　 When the spring planting is over, Ace plans to transfer a production team to mine, and transfer skilled people from the slaves to form a craftsman team, responsible for smelting iron farm tools necessary for intensive farming and manufacturing water conservancy irrigation facilities.
　　 The remaining people are combined into eight production teams, three are responsible for intensive farming, and four build master residences and slave settlements in the settlements. This is a preliminary project, and slaves will be purchased one after another and need to continue to expand.
　　 Ace finally got vacant. He returned to the old manor with a few slaves and two mercenary veterans, and began his experiment on corrupting jackals.
　　 He took two slaves who looked honest and honest to assist his experiment. Five corrosive jackals were found to have been in a cage for a long time and fed liquid food, and they were a little languid.
　　 asked a tall barbarian slave to drag one of them out of the cage and tie it to the fixed bracket. After fixing its head and limbs firmly, Ace ordered the slave to remove the iron clamp on its mouth.
　　 The corrosive jackal suddenly changed from malaise to ferocious at the moment when the iron clamp was removed, and opened his mouth to spray corrosive acid on the slave.
　　 Ace keenly felt a strange rhythm, and the mental power that corroded the jackal also fluctuated violently. Ace sensed a peculiar force gathering at the throat of the corroding jackal.
　　 The slave also hurriedly ran away, "Puff!" A little black smoke came out of the jackal's mouth, without any acid. The poor jackal seemed a little confused, and tried again, the same rhythm, but only black smoke, no acid.
　　 Ace asked the two slaves to drag the others one by one, but found that they couldn't spray acid.
　　 Ace flashed through the introduction on the "Low-level Monsters Illustrated Book", UU reading www. uukanshu.com corrodes jackals. They are widespread in the plains of the whole continent. They live in groups, usually in groups of three to five. They like sulfur, are cunning and aggressive. They can spray 3-5 meters away from their mouths, with strong corrosive acid. liquid.
　　 I like sulfur! You can try this condition, Ace thought.
　　 There is no sulfur in the manor. Ace took two slaves and bought two large bags of sulfur in Buku Town, and the slaves carried them back.
　　 "Tall guy, you go and feed this jackal some sulfur. Don't feed too much, just feed half a spoon with a big iron spoon." Back to the manor, Ace ordered.
　　 Looking at the sassy tall barbarian slave, he dug a half iron spoon of sulfur obediently and fed it to the jackal. The jackal ate sulfur, but it was still a little sluggish, and there was no movement for a long time. The same goes for other jackals,
　　 Ace thought quietly, all jackals have had strange rhythms and mental fluctuations several times. Maybe this rhythm has consumed their mental power, just like I use mental power, too much can’t be used. It seems that there is no way today. Let these dogs rest and do a controlled experiment tomorrow.
"You two, clamp these five dog mouths with iron clips and drag them into the cage." Ace ordered, and then he began to record the conditions and data of today's experiment on parchment paper. The experimental data and inspiration at the time are very important. It must be recorded at any time for easy viewing.
　　 The next day, Ace divided the five dogs into two groups. One dog in the first group was directly stimulated to see if it could squirt out acid, and whether it could not be fed with sulfur. The four dogs in the second group were directly stimulated to see if they could squirt acid, and if not, they were fed with different amounts of sulfur.
　　 After several experiments, Ace came to the conclusion, he wrote in the experiment diary.
