Unknown Knight

In the following days, Aix and several others searched the secret cave again and again, but found nothing.

Aix had no choice but to give up and asked Amanti to block the news. Fortunately, when the mezzanine was discovered, the people who were working on it were scared by the darkness below and reported it to Amanti instead of going down into the secret room. Now everyone only knows that a mezzanine was found in the main castle, and they don’t even know how big it is.

This is the secret base of the Medius Dark Order and also the place where Pope Prius hid. His token and seal ring are all here, which can easily arouse speculation from all parties. If it gets out, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the territory.

Yamanti is knowledgeable and experienced, and he knows that there are various historical entanglements in the secret room of the cave. In order to better block the news, he personally presided over the renovation of the master room. Those involved in the construction are the most reliable personnel in the territory, and no one is allowed to go down there.

The newly renovated master bedroom was soon completed. Amanti really fulfilled his promise to Aix and placed a soft large bed more than three meters wide in the room.

The mezzanine is also well hidden. Not only is there a sturdy locked iron door inside, but there is also a row of heavy wardrobes outside to cover it. There is a secret compartment designed by Amanti himself inside the wardrobe. Only after opening the secret compartment can the iron door be opened to enter the secret room.

It can be said that there are layers of concealment. If you don’t know about it in advance, it is difficult to find the secret cave inside. Moreover, the relevant person in charge, Amanti, has carefully reviewed and instructed them to keep it confidential.

Manid's injury had not yet healed, so Aix had to let Bandak temporarily take his place as a land trader. The main reason was that the territory had increased in population by seven or eight hundred from the snowfield bandits, resulting in a food shortage.

More than fifty people from Tismo were also forcibly detained. Although nearly one hundred people were returned to Voldratboye as agreed, Aix still forcibly selected more than fifty people to stay, saying that these were the only villagers at the beginning, and he didn't care whether Voldratboye was willing or not.

Now that the new territory has been confirmed, the surrounding conflicts have been eased, and there are sufficient manpower, the entire territory has been invested in a vigorous large-scale construction, and it is a busy scene.

At the same time, Aix also replanned the inner and outer forts, adding a design institute and a military institute in the inner fort.

From the perspective of outsiders, the Design Institute mainly serves this imaginative lord, because he often has a lot of ideas and from time to time he comes up with some ideas that give headaches to senior intellectuals and craftsmen in the territory such as Amanti and Li Da.

In fact, this is also the cognitive limitation of people of this era. In their eyes, all kinds of fantastic demands and plans are outdated products that are ubiquitous in Aix's original world. He proposed to implement them after careful consideration based on the realistic cognition and productivity level of this era.

It is very necessary to set up a research institute, so that the top brains of the territory can have a centralized research and office place, which mainly includes a mechanical research laboratory, a material research laboratory, a small full-category production workshop, and a document database.

The entire design and production process can be completed here, and participants do not need to run to the workshop, then to the Aix office, then to the construction site.

All designs, from idea to implementation, can go through the entire process in this design institute, which greatly facilitates all participants and improves overall efficiency. The comprehensive promotion effect it produces is immeasurable.

Aix also thoughtfully set up a casual dining bar inside as a place for research institute staff to eat and rest, with dedicated chefs providing sumptuous meals and casual pastries.

Don't underestimate this casual restaurant and bar. Many problems and blockages in thinking are solved while everyone is chatting and relaxing here. Amanti even calls this place a temple of creativity.

When they were resting, they drank hot milk and tea (a mixed alternative beverage similar to tea developed jointly by Aix and Gangde), and ate snacks such as cheese, cake, beef jerky, and fruit. They were in a good mood, had wonderful ideas, and communicated and debated related topics with each other. It was easy to create unexpected sparks and come up with innovative results.

At the same time, this preferential treatment was also a gesture of Aix. Not only did he pay the people working in the institute several times higher salaries than before, but he also used this preferential treatment to make all the craftsmen and smart people in the territory pursue and honor working in the institute.

Aix believes that through this kind of positive guidance and the continuous cultivation of talents in Tangquan College, it will promote the rapid development of science and technology, and let the light of progressive civilization bring more warmth to the people under its rule.

If the Technical Research Institute is chaired by Aix and implemented by Amanti, then the Military Research Institute is chaired by Resarit and is the world of a group of ambitious generals.

The institute includes an ordnance research laboratory, a combat command room, a military training ground, a sand table simulation room and a military information room.

The Armaments Research Lab, as the name suggests, is mainly responsible for researching military equipment. It is also responsible for evaluating various equipment produced in the territory, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses, and making suggestions for improvement. For example, the oar shield that Sophia held before was a product of the Armaments Research Lab.

The operations command room is used for conducting wartime command operations. It is also the place to formulate combat plans, develop war response strategies, and analyze the current military situation. If a force or enemy is brought to the point of being discussed here, then its good days are almost over.

The military training ground is the largest area in the Military Research Institute. There is a small training ground of 5,000 square meters, which is mainly used to conduct battlefield simulation exercises based on the territory's military forces and the military forces of surrounding forces to find out the problems that need to be improved and overcome.

They also carried out practical operations based on the requirements put forward by the combat commander, such as the combat drills against the Kugit cavalry proposed by the combat command room, and the drills against the Nord shield infantry. These are potential enemies of the territory, and the soldiers can find ways to restrain the enemy's arms in the drills.

The sand table simulation room is a research room for simulating attack and defense based on the sand table concept proposed by Aix. Here there are models of territory fortresses, models of hostile forces, and even miniature models of surrounding terrain, villages, fortresses, and towns.

Soldiers often simulated here how to capture a castle, how to march on a certain terrain, how to deploy troops, how to engage the enemy, etc. When one deduction after another that they thought would guarantee victory was established, the managers of these armies became excited and frequently came to Aix to offer advice and suggestions, which made Aix very annoyed and made this place actually the source of the territory's wars.

The military information room is where all kinds of military intelligence information are stored, as well as various military historical materials that can be collected in the territory, battle descriptions, military books, records of the characteristics of military equipment of various local arms, and other information. It is a good place for soldiers to learn military knowledge and make reference to information when formulating combat plans.
