In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

It was already December 20th, just ten short days from the end of the month.

As Lynn walked on the red brick roads of the town, his mind stirred, and he opened the Holographic Map to check.

Outside the town.

Eight hundred townsmen were still diligently chopping down trees, working in groups of four. The felled trees, after processing, were transported to the Wood Workshop.

The Carpenter Apprentices in the workshop debarked, cut, and further processed the wood.

The peeled bark was transported back to the Papermaking Workshop by the workers using small boats, as it was needed as material for papermaking.

After a few days of processing, several piles of long timber stacks had already accumulated outside the workshop.

Whether it was logging or wood processing, everything was being carried out in an orderly manner.

Lynn's thoughts shifted again, and his vision turned to the Papermaking Workshop.

The silhouettes of workers were busy in the Papermaking Workshop.

They washed the bark, soaked it, and then pounded the bark that had been soaking for several days.

One by one, the workers placed the pounded bark fibers into tanks filled with lime and animal glue.

Lime helps decompose the fibers, removing the pectin, lignin, and other impurities.

Animal glue, made by boiling the hides and bones of cows and pigs, effectively enhances the strength of the paper and improves its writing properties.

With the continuous addition of well water and river water, stirring, the water in the tank turned into a uniform gray-white paper pulp suspension.

Another group of workers used bamboo screens to scoop paper.

They dipped the screens into the pulp tank to collect pulp, rocking them to drain water, ensuring the pulp adhered evenly and initially formed on the bamboo screens.

The papermaking process appears simple.

But it is not easy to produce a sufficient quantity of paper with quality that meets the standards.

The finished wet sheets were stacked one by one, then finely pressed to remove water and left to dry naturally...

Just the production process alone takes a week.

At this pace, with organized production,

the first batch of self-produced paper will soon be available in the territory!

Lynn nodded with satisfaction.

Whether from constructing the Papermaking Workshop or using it to produce paper,

the efficiency was much faster than he had imagined.

Of course, this was the return on Lynn's substantial investment in manpower and resources.

With another shift of thought, Lynn's vision moved to the nearest Red Brick Factory.

The firing of red bricks at the factory had never ceased.

Three hundred workers, according to their normal working hours, engaged in the firing work daily.

Moreover, as their proficiency in division of labor continuously improved, the efficiency of brick firing significantly increased.

From initially being able to fire 360,000 bricks in one go, it had now increased to 420,000.

Correspondingly, the Red Brick Factory also required a large consumption of Anthracite.

Lynn had naturally considered temporarily closing the factory.

But thinking about the importance of red bricks, Lynn chose to continue the firing.

Insufficient production of Anthracite could be resolved by using wooden tracks to change transport methods.

If red bricks were needed, yet insufficient, it would take five days of firing to complete produce.

Lynn then looked towards the archery training ground.

Under Wesley's leadership, two hundred soldiers were training in an orderly manner.

Subsequently, Lynn glanced at the three ongoing mining sites and the Salt Factory, among others.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities, Lynn closed the Holographic Map.

At that moment.

Lynn had already arrived at the Blacksmith Workshop.

The continuous clanging of metal echoed endlessly in the workshop.

Lynn directly stepped inside.

Ehrelo, with a face full of seriousness, was inspecting the Blacksmith Apprentices making components of the Standard Plate Armor.

Because Master Lynn had previously assigned one of the Blacksmith Workshops to Flint.

Now there were only three workshops producing Standard Plate Armor components.

Luckily, Master Lynn had not assigned the two hundred Blacksmith Apprentices to Flint.

Instead, he redeployed two hundred townsmen.

When Ehrelo turned past a few apprentices, his gaze fell upon that familiar figure.

Ehrelo, without any hesitation, strode forward.

Coming to Lynn's side, Ehrelo bowed slightly, "Master Lynn."

Lynn got straight to the point, "How is the progress of the Standard Plate Armor?"

Ehrelo quickly explained, "Master, as per your requirements, the remaining three hundred sets of Standard Plate Armor have been completed!"

"With the four hundred chest armor and helmets remaining, one hundred sets have already been made. I assure you they will all be completed by the end of the month."

Lynn slightly nodded, "Very well, afterward I will have Rose bring his soldiers to collect the armors."

"Make sure to help them with adjustments and fittings before they leave!"

Ehrelo, full of seriousness, nodded firmly, "Yes, Master!"

Lynn responded, "You may continue with your work."

Ehrelo dared not utter a single word of waste, bending over and retreating.

Immediately.

Lynn marched through the workshop, inspecting.

Due to his orders to Ehrelo, the Blacksmith Workshop was evidently operating around the clock.

The Blacksmith Apprentices showed signs of sleep deprivation, their spiritual power somewhat drained.

However, there was no alternative.

With war approaching, producing a large amount of plate armor was necessary to ensure that the inherently weak soldiers gained a certain combat strength.
