"Your Majesty, isn't this a compulsory?" Hearing Tim's last words, Dydock was so angry that he almost found a wall to kill him.

Tim smiled slightly: "Does I use force to force you to agree now? I still said the decision lies with you, oh, by the way, you should also be glad that your Leon family has some value to us Portugal kings, otherwise I would never waste quarrels with you here."

With a wave of his hand, he asked someone to take Dydock down: "Think about it carefully and see if you want to agree to my conditions. By the way, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. Anyway, I can afford to delay it. I just don't know if your Leon family can afford it. Don't let the Leon family be destroyed by then, and you will make a decision."

"Your Majesty, do you think he will agree?" After Dydock left, Ferrero immediately stepped forward to ask.

Tim shook his head: "I don't know either! Anyway, these Leons are difficult to control, so I don't have any hope for this. I just hope they don't fall too early, and I hope they can just kill the strength of the Kingdom of Castile. By the way, now you go and prepare the carriage and horses, and I'm going to meet a few artillery engineers."

Now, taking advantage of the stability of the Kingdom of Portugal, we will produce steel as soon as possible, and then manufacture artillery weapons to safeguard national security.

Tim had already planned that since the industrial revolution carried out in the Kingdom of Portugal did not follow the historical development trajectory, but was promoted by himself, this was destined that this industrial revolution would definitely not start with the textile market like the first British industrial revolution.

The survival situation faced by the Kingdom of Portugal is very difficult, so Tim decided to give priority to the development of heavy industry, especially the military industry. As for steam engines, they could only make a decision after the steel cannon was released.

The carriage carried Tim soon arrived at a satellite city in the southeast corner of Lisbon.

This castle began to be built after Tim introduced a large number of talents from the Swedish Kingdom in Northern Europe. After more than a year of construction, it has now reached a scale. It is now full of technical talents and military personnel.

In fact, the main purpose of Tim's construction of this castle was to protect the achievements of the first industrial revolution in the Kingdom of Portugal. To put it bluntly, this castle is an industrial city.

There was a reason why this castle was chosen in the southeast corner of Lisbon.

The first reason is that Lisbon has a Mediterranean climate.

The Mediterranean climate is a subtropical and temperate climate type, named after the most typical Mediterranean coastal areas. The cause of Mediterranean climate is formed by the alternating control of the westerly wind zone and the subtropical high-pressure zone. Therefore, the Mediterranean climate is mainly distributed in the Mediterranean coastal areas. [Other regions are between 30 degrees to 40 degrees north and south latitude]

In the Mediterranean region, the water temperature of the Mediterranean is controlled by the subtropical high pressure zone in summer, and the water temperature of the Mediterranean is lower than that of the land, thus forming high pressure, increasing the influence of the subtropical high pressure zone. In winter, the water temperature of the Mediterranean is relatively high, forming low pressure, attracting the west wind, and greatly enhancing the west wind.

Its climate is characterized by high temperatures and less rainy in summer and mild and rainy in winter.

The wind direction is that there is basically no wind in summer, while in winter, the northwest wind blows due to the influence of the tilt bias force. [I wonder if any high school students read my book, which is just popularizing geography knowledge!]

Now, this satellite industrial city is built in the southeast corner of Lisbon. This place is in the wind and completely avoids the residential and commercial areas of Lisbon. After all, once the northwest wind blows in winter and rains, the industrial waste gas can be blown to the southern part of the Kingdom of Castile by the northwest wind, which perfectly avoids the Kingdom of Portugal and harms the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Granada.

This is what Tim likes to do when harming others and self-interest, because Tim estimates that after these exhaust gases are combined with the atmosphere, it is very likely that some acid rain will come in the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Granada. Of course, it is good to go wherever you go, but don’t go in the Kingdom of Portugal.

The second reason is terrain.

Because the southern part of Lisbon is facing the Tagus River. The Tagus River comes from Dayuan in the eastern part of the peninsula, passes through the Iberian Peninsula, and goes to Portugal to the Atlantic coast. It is 1,007 kilometers long and has a basin area of ​​81,600 square kilometers, and has a particularly large water volume.

Now this industrial city is just close to this river, so once the industry develops, the industrial water use problem will be easily solved.

Therefore, based on the above reasons, Tim built this industrial city here. The city is very confidential to the outside world. Except for the army, technical workers and engineers, other idle people must not be close to each other.

In addition, several military engineers and architectural designers from the Kingdom of Portugal have also added a lot of defensive and attacking power to the castle. In addition, there is military protection from Lisbon around the city, so it is not an exaggeration to use the idiom of impregnation to describe the city's defensive power.

After Ferrero showed the signs of the Portuguese royal family to the city guards, the layers of troops and inspection levels were quickly released: "Your Majesty comes to investigate and open the passage immediately."

In this way, the carriages came to the center of the city without any obstacles. The city center is a four-story building. This building was built for the core technical talents of the Kingdom of Portugal. There are many rooms, halls, taverns and test sites, etc., which are specially used to invent and create new technologies.

Tim invested a lot of money and resources to these people, including their research, inventions and daily life, with special care, hoping that they can provide strong development momentum for the Kingdom of Portugal.

Fortunately, the money was not spent in vain. These people gathered here and studied a lot of weapon patterns and ship design drawings. For example, the rapid upgrade and transformation of the Portuguese Navy was made by these people.

"Your Majesty, are you here?" The guard at the door hurriedly saluted after seeing Tim: "I will notify everyone and let everyone wait for you in the hall." After that, he ran in.

When the people heard that His Majesty the King arrived, they quickly stopped their research and gathered in the third floor lobby. The rest of the workers in the factory rushed to the hall, and a crowd gathered here.
