I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 103
Advertisement
September was here and once again, Santa had sent his subordinates to Baymard as usual.
Landon bought several seeds and animals, as well as sold his ores to Santa's subordinates.
After he had sorted out the children, new military recruits, caretakers, and the elderly, Landon was left with 5970 new workers, 100 hospital recruits, and 23 people who had professions prior to being slaves or refugees.
Amongst those 23 people were: 7 teachers, 10 healers (nurses), and 6 new doctors.
Of course Landon immediately assigned the doctors to start training under Doctor Gerson.
As for the nurses, they were to join the new 100 hospital recruits and start training under nurses Shanelle and Laura.
Last month, Landon had added 100 trainees in the hospital.... And this month, he had also added another 100 as well.
The hospitals ran for 24 hours every day of the week, so more people were needed for different shifts.
As for the teachers, Landon would use this September to train them.
Although this was the last semester before the long holiday, Landon hoped that by October, these new teachers would begin teaching.
It would be wise for them to use the remaining half of the semester as part of their training... Hence, Landon decided to let them teach courses like Pyno 1 and Math 1.
.
This month, there were a lot of things that Baymard needed.
Firstly, Landon wanted to start making printing presses... he chose to make lithography steam engine rotatory printing presses.
These steam engine printing presses, were deemed the fastest that could work without electricity throughout ancient times.
These ones could print both sides of a page in a single operation, at an incredible speed as well.
One steam press alone could print over two hundred book pages a day, provided water was constantly fed to the engine, as well as a constant supply of ink.
Since he couldn't make digital printers right now, rotary printing presses would have to do.
Once the printing press could run, I.D cards, Government documents and Calenders were a must.
.
Up next, Landon wanted to focus on mattress making.
He wanted to make 2 types of mattresses, polyurethane foam mattresses and memory foam mattresses.
Memory foam mattresses were actually made from the polyurethane ones.... the only difference between the 2, were the additives used for making memory foam.

Both foams could be made to feel hard, flexible, or even super soft... depending on whether they would be used in mattresses, pillows, wheelchair seats, bench and couch cushions, car seats, dish washing sponges, gym mats, and so on.
Polyurethane foam is generally formed when a polyol, and an Isocyanate are combined.
Once combined, the foam starts forming and rising on it's own at standard atmosphere pressure.
The foam starts rising like how yeast would rise in dough, and quickly solidifies itself.... Hence making the soft, flexible, and comfortable material used for mattresses and other cushions.
For memory foam, both chemicals used for polyurethane foam are added, along with water and a variety of catalyst and additives.
Also depending on the different chemicals used, these foams could have different colors as well.. like the yellow foam used for dish washing sponges, or the white foam used for mattresses.
.
Finally, Landon wanted to focus on textile making.
He knew that during this period, he would focus on all textile materials... except cotton.
Since June, Landon had been buying cotton seeds from Santa's subordinates.
Generally, cotton grew as a shrub.. with the plant taking 5 to 6 months to fully grow and produce cotton.
Since he couldn't wait for that long, he decided to focus on wool, yarn and all other textile materials.
For the past 2 months, the workers had been cutting and storing the fur from the animals which he had been purchasing.
And now, it was finally time to create thread used in making different clothing items such as blankets, winter jackets, winter hats, socks, curtains and so on.
Hence with everything needed this September, Landon divided the 5970 new workers like so:
•Alchemy industry:
▪Foam department: 570
▪The other existing departments: 500
•Food industry: 500
•Textile Industry:500
•Construction Industry:
▪Printing Press: 400
▪Other existing departments: 600
•Actual construction workers:2900
.
Since there were no available buildings within the construction industry, Landon decided to have the paper making department, share their 4 story building with the printing press.
As for the textile industry... since the animals and their fur were being stored within the food industry, Landon thought that it would be wise to allow them to occupy 4 buildings within the food industry as well... at least until their own facility was built.
Hence he had also decided that since those 1000 workers assigned to build the greenhouse were done, they might as well start constructing the textile industry now.

For this new textile industry, Landon just wanted 8 buildings within it.
And while construction is underway, those assigned towards textile making would do their jobs within the food industry.
In this era, the people already knew how to spin and form textile thread for clothing.. the difference was that all their clothing was hand made.
So for this first week of September, Landon wanted those assigned to the textile industry, to start making thread from all animal fur previously collected and stored.
And while they were focusing on that, Department C6 of the construction industry, was to make mechanical wheeler sewing machines and spinning wheels.
Instead of using electricity, these machines used several pulley mechanisms and leg paddles to spin the threads and sew fabrics.
With these machines, the workers would be more efficient when compared to hand sewing and stitching.
And once the first week of September was over, Landon would then divide the workers into 2 groups... one group would focus on making thread, while the other would be focus on fabric making.
For this textile industry, Landon decided to appoint, Mrs. Sophia as overseer of the industry.
Sophia was the wife of Chief Lyore, and since both industries were basically sharing the same state, Landon decided to appoint her as overseer.
Plus, she was the one who had previously aided Landon in sewing badges for the military recruits.
So from now on, she would be known throughout Baymard as Chief or Overseer Sophia.
And for the food industry, since the greenhouse was already constructed, Landon wanted the new workers to start planting and transferring several medical herbs from the farms to the greenhouse.
.
With the addition of 2900 construction workers, Landon now had 12,900 workers all together.
It was finally time to focus on building residential homes for the citizens.
Landon divided the group up like so:
•2000 were to focus on installing electric cables alongside the roads.
•4000 where to focus on tarring the roads.. as well as installing all sewage, water, rainwater drainage, and central heating pipes underneath the ground.
•900 would also focus on using heavy machines to level the space for the residential buildings.
•And finally 7000 workers would focus on constructing homes for the citizens.
.
Back on earth, the only reason building homes took over 6 months, was because of land surveying, getting land permits, getting architects to make blueprints, hiring contractors, lawyers and so on.
The actual construction process doesn't take that long at all.. depending on the desired house size.
Typically 3 men could build a 2,900sq foot house within 11 weeks (3 months and 2 weeks)... that's without working on Saturdays and sundays.
In Landon's case, he wanted to build a 2,400 square foot home using 27 men in each group. This would by far slim down the building time, and in about 1 and a half weeks, 27 men would finish one residential building.
And since there were 7000 workers assigned to building the homes, there would be 259 groups made up of 27 workers.
Hence after 1 and a half weeks, Landon expected to see at least 259 homes already constructed.
Landon wanted them to do what they had previously done when they constructed all 3 industries at once.
Once the workers had to wait for cement to harden during the foundation, floor and wall stages, Landon expected them to start construction for other residential homes.
So in that way by the end of the 1 and a half week time frame, each team would actually complete, or at least start 2 or more homes at once.
Of course Landon had made up his mind to also assist all these industries within this month.. especially the textile industry.
Once the day came to an end, Landon looked at his schedule for September and truly felt like crying.
He was busy as hell!
He had to supervise another military exam for the recruits that came during the month of June.
It had been 3 months for those recruits, and now was the period for their first official exam...Hence his presence as King, was a must.
Apart from aiding the industries and making his presence known in the military, Landon also had to visit the hospitals, nurseries, as well as the school.
.
As he lay on his bed, Landon quickly tried his best to fall asleep fast.... for he knew that tomorrow would be a long weary day.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
