"This thing is good, good, very good. It's just a treasure." Darkus said with a smile while holding the thing in his hand. Ever since he found the other-world version of the information card in Lauren Loren, he felt like he had found a treasure again. Got something as good as an information card.
The thing Darkus was holding in his hand was very ordinary, it was just a ruler, but this ruler was not a ruler, but a slide rule. This thing was also very strange to him. He only had it when he was a child in his previous life. I have seen it. Since the advent of calculators, this thing has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. If he remembered correctly, in the era before electronic computers, the reason why the little boy, Fatty, Pumpkin, and Miss Qiu could appear was because of this thing. Takes half the credit.
The East and the West each have their own strengths. The East has the abacus, and the West has the incredible and useless differential machine and Pascal calculator. It was not until the seventeenth century that the slide rule that could calculate addition and subtraction appeared. In that ancient country, it is said that the first person to use a slide rule was Kangxi, a Gantt slide rule made of ivory. With the development of the times and mathematics, slide rules are constantly being upgraded. The data required for artillery ballistics and bombers' high-altitude bomb drops can be quickly calculated through the slide rule. Later, it became a symbol of the identity of an engineer.
In the end, the slide rule was able to calculate everything from the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to squares, cubes, roots, trigonometric functions and logarithms. It was even easier to calculate college entrance examination questions. The admission ticket clearly prohibited the slide rule from being brought into the examination room. Then nothing happened. With the advent of electronic computers and calculators, the slide rule also withdrew from the stage of history. It's a bit difficult to master a slide rule, but once you know how to use it, it's a magical tool in science.
The slide rule in Darkus's hand was only the most rudimentary, with rudimentary functions. It could only calculate some simple data of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But this is not a problem at all, just upgrade if the functions are not enough.
In the eyes of Darkus, this thing is precious. This thing in this world is simply the nemesis of Tzeentch! Because the slide rule is said to be a tool, it can be used on a large scale, and it can be a tool for everyone, rather than knowledge. In this world, knowledge represents corruption and chaos, but tools are completely outside the scope of this rule. What Tzeentch can do is to just appear Once it spreads on a large scale, Tzeentch will no longer be able to curse.
With the slide rule, users do not need to figure out the inner and specific ways of calculating data with the slide rule. Users do not need to learn formulas or other messy things. They only need to be able to use the slide rule. The slide rule will calculate the user's required data. You can even design tools such as protractors and ranging telescopes by referring to this model, but the elves just don't have artillery, and the lizard men's skink boys don't need these things to operate the sun engine.
This means that the user reduces corruption in the entire process. There is no need for too much education or too much learning. The process from the starting point to the end point is gone, and the slide rule completes the intermediate process. The most intuitive thing is that when workers process parts, they can use a slide rule to directly calculate the accuracy of the part, and then adjust the machine parameters for processing, and a precise part will come out. The whole process requires a fool-like operation. Low-level bureaucrats don't need much education to obtain statistical data through a slide rule. Similarly, Darkus can also use a slide rule to calculate the data he needs and make adjustments during the dough making process.
The word education seems very abstract to Darkus. The nine-year compulsory system is education, happy education is also education, the education involved in aristocratic music, chess, calligraphy and painting is also education, and all kinds of education are education. But he is not prepared to popularize any previous life education at all. Druchi cannot play with it, and Druchi does not need it. He doesn't know how to teach politics or dragon-slaying skills, so why don't he make trouble for himself and let Tzeentch trick the elves into revolution?
Darkus's consciousness is constantly spreading. After seeing the slide rule, he has already thought about it. Education in Nagaros still needs to be popularized, but it can be slightly adjusted to carry out a large number of sports and social activities in kindergartens and junior schools. For practical education, you must first have a good body so that you can directly adapt to the basic needs of soldiers, workers or sailors when you reach adulthood.
Social practice is to take the children to visit factories and the military to connect them with primary school. No, it should be connected with society. The rest of the time is spent on written education, learning Druzil language, history and using a slide rule. , focusing on happiness, these children will adapt and meet the needs of society once they become adults.
At the same time, secondary education must also be carried out, and high-quality seedlings should be selected for further education in the preparation stage for the coming to Ulthuan. Darkus thought about it. The way to join secondary education is very simple. You only need to be able to study and understand the slide rule at the primary stage. Mathematics accounts for half of the exam content. It is forbidden to bring the slide rule into the examination room during the exam. The master will lead him in and practice. Relying on an individual, being able to reversely study mathematics through a slide rule shows that you are a bit wise, either you are sensitive to mathematics, or you are possessed by the great demon of Tzeentch.
The secondary education stage became normalized, with more written learning content, injecting blood into bureaucrats, technical officers and factory managers. The high point is the university, but during the period of coming to Ulthuan, Darkus is only planning to offer science courses. Science courses that can inject lubricant into the Druchi war machine, liberal arts and other subjects will be discussed after he comes to Ulthuan. I wonder. When he got here, he felt that he was a bit militaristic. He would send away the liberal arts and leave the science to build the country after the defeat...
In addition to these, there should also be literature and art such as music and performance. Darkus thought about letting Tolandi Erpe helped train a group of bards who could perform and spread ideological trends in the army, so as to strengthen the ideological construction of soldiers and let them know what they were doing and why they were fighting. Kane ritual, it’s good to see those wizard spirits go crazy. At the same time, it also brings a ray of light to the boring life in the military camp. By the way, some sports projects such as Blood Bowl Rugby can be carried out to gain honors through the league mode.
Although what Darkus was thinking about probably wasn't what the soldiers wanted, it was enough that it was what he wanted. Otherwise, without fighting and training every day, he would go crazy over time.
Moreover, there are some things, how should I put it, sometimes the rulers have good ideas, but they change when they are implemented. The most famous example is that the rulers suggest that people use their left hand more, which can promote the development of the brain. When it comes to execution At that time, even if the right hand was cut off so that the left hand had to be used, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it?
There are big discrepancies between theory and practice. For example, if a company wants to be prosperous for a long time, it must implement a 15% final elimination system. This is correct in theory. But in reality, this correct theory changes during the operation process, and even turns into a big pit. On the contrary, it can kill the company that was still functioning before. The criteria for elimination at the bottom are set by the leadership, which will cause old employees to not share information and form groups to protect their jobs. Newcomers, interns, and those who are not good at communicating will all be eliminated.
The fucked-up social environment in Druchi is not much better either. When the time comes, bad things like allocating school food funds and cheating on exams by bringing the slide rule into the exam room will definitely happen. But there shouldn’t be any cram schools or the like? One is that there is no such group in Drukhi society, and the other is that Drukhi commoners do not pay attention to their children's education, and they have no money, and the relationship between parents and children is just that. Not everyone is like Middenhay The one who can abandon everything and run from Naggaroth to Ersin Alvin with his children.
The human heart is very paradoxical, and elves have delicate emotions, coupled with the influence of ideological trends, it is even more paradoxical. After Darkus opens the lottery, there will definitely be things like stealing or exchanging children. It would be strange if that doesn't happen, and there will be a series of messy and troublesome things. But if you think about it from another angle, there are also good things. For example, Nagaros is the military government. After setting up multiple monitoring and reporting systems, the knife is very sharp. Darkus does not recommend killing people with heads rolling and sacrificing them in another way. To Kane.
"Put it away, this thing is very important to us." After finishing speaking, Darkus, who no longer thought about messy things, handed the slide rule to Drusala, and then walked around the Stephen Franz Academy. got up.
Stephen Franz has no connection with Ka+8 hundreds of years later. Stephen Franz comes from the von Holzkelger family, and Karl Franz belongs to von Horsweig-Schlinstein. The En family would have to wait four hundred years before they could gain power. He is the prince of Reikland and the younger brother of Emperor Eberhard the "Just". He did not inherit the position of emperor after Eberhard's death, but was succeeded by Eberhard's son Ludwig.
The Holtzkerg family has not always ruled Altdorf and Reikland. This started in 1937 in the Imperial Calendar, when Drakenfels performed a shocking event... (more on that later) in
1979 in the Imperial Calendar. At that time, the female elector Margarita was elected as the queen in the election, but the high priest of the Sigmar sect, Wilgrim III, refused to recognize her or give the throne to any other elector. In the end, only one elector was produced. No one voted as emperor. By this time, the ancient elector system had completely collapsed. The empire as a unified political entity had ceased to exist. Several electors supported their own armies and fought endlessly. They kept claiming more. Kingdoms, towns and various titles, the entire empire was in chaos due to constant wars. Vlad von Carstein of Sylvania also came out to join in the fun at this time, and the people east of the Gray Mountains The old world was filled with pain and war, and this chaos would continue until Magnus restored the throne.
Eberhard originally wanted to become a Salia priest, until the crown of the Holzkerg dynasty was forced on him through blood. Although he was emperor, he did not rule a large territory. He ordered that Altdorf would not It's cool, the princes in Rick's territory don't buy his account, let alone other places. Helpless, he could only enjoy himself in the enclosure. Under his operation, Altdorf regained some vitality, which can be called a glimmer of light in the dark era. Altdorf's nursing home was built by him.
In this case, as Eberhard's brother, Stephen Franz invited the medieval version of Leonardo da Vinci, Leonardo da Miragliano, to Altdorf, and then he and Leonardo da Vinci came to Altdorf. The Stefan Franz Academy was founded with financial support from the Zikkerg family.
"Many people despise inventors and vilify us as lunatics, fools, and things that are worse than pigs and dogs. We can't get any respect either in the empire or in more distant lands. But I have seen the dawn of change, and I firmly believe that being a warrior When the sword curls and the wizard's spell backfires, steel and gunpowder will show their value.
The future is getting darker and darker, and only with the emperor's army armed with steel can the future of mankind be guaranteed. Inventors will no longer be despised, and They are respectfully praised as the wisest and most learned people in the world." - Leonardo da Miragliano
In 1978, Leonardo was born in Miragliano. Coming from a humble family, he first came to prominence while serving as an apprentice as a city architect, writing a plan for urban renewal. One of his favorite hobbies and intellectual exercises was designing leaning towers, and he set himself the problem of designing a tower that would remain upright even when tilted at the most exaggerated angles.
The ruler of Miragliano accidentally saw Leonardo's design during his inspection. His design took into account all aspects of transportation, municipal administration, defense, etc. The ruler decided on the spot to appoint him as the chief engineer of the municipal reconstruction work.
A few years later, under the guidance of Leonardo, the overall layout of Miragliano was redesigned, and a set of city defense facilities of epochal significance were also designed, which were more ingenious and stronger than the previous ones. The father of the three brothers and the uncle of the Takaia family died under the newly designed Miragliano city defense...
The success of the city defense system allowed the ruler of Miragliano to promote Leonardo to the title of imperial inventor. Eventually his reputation spread to the empire, and he was hired with a large sum of money by Stephen Franz, the Elector of Reikland, to become the first dean of the academy. The academy was established to eliminate the demons and monsters that wreaked havoc in Reikland and focus on Researching war technology and cultivating engineering talents to provide assistance to the army. His achievements proved that Stephen Franz's vision and investment were correct. Many strange, useful and useless gadgets were designed.
Now, this academy located in the eastern part of Altdorf has attracted many energetic and forward-thinking young people who are eager to develop various new and exciting technologies, and even a large number of dwarf engineers who are considered deviant in dwarf society. Join them, the dwarven engineers who were expelled from the Engineers Guild for actions that were too dangerous and extreme, such as trying to improve upon time-tested dwarven craftsmanship. Dwarf engineers who have not joined the academy will also come here to communicate and show respect for the wisdom, innovation and industrial spirit of Altdorf engineers.
Interestingly, despite the wildness of its philosophy, the Academy prudently defines itself as a secular institution, with a modest Sigmar slant. Just like the Altdorf University in the North City with the Goddess of Wisdom tendencies. However, on the surface, the college is affiliated with the Sigmar sect, but in fact, the number of followers of Mirmedia occupies an absolute advantage among the engineers. Leonardo himself is also a follower of Mirmedia.
When it comes to innovation and ingenuity in the field of engineering, no one can rival Leonardo. Even the dwarves who usually scoffed at the work of human engineers had to admit that they were startlingly impressed by the complexity and efficiency of Leonardo's designs.
When Leonardo was the dean, his most famous design was the steam tank. These smoke-belching steel creations were wrapped in thick metal armor. They were terrifying just to look at. They would rumble as vanguards during battles. Rushing towards the enemy, the steam-driven artillery fires deadly shells at the enemy. No arrows or blades can harm the tank at all, and the enemy warriors will be crushed under the huge body of the tank.
Steam tanks can be said to be the treasures of the empire. Leonardo designed a total of twelve tanks, each of which was unique. Five hundred years later, eight of them survived and were called the Eight Wonders of the Empire. Each one has been repaired, modified and rebuilt many times, and is very different from its original design. Many steam tanks have been renamed to commemorate the victory of a certain war or the improvements brought by a talented engineer.
In addition, Leonardo also designed some other things, but these things are a bit useless compared to steam tanks, such as the famous war dog mercenary Catraza's Birdman, the symbol of this unit is The mercenaries wore bird masks that allowed them to fly across the battlefield using a pair of wings made entirely of canvas stretched over a light wooden frame. In flight, the wings could be flapped with stirrups attached to their feet, allowing them to Able to glide on the battlefield, they also have their hands free to shoot at the ground with small crossbows.
However, it is doubtful whether this thing was designed by Leonardo. Although this unique and useless war dog mercenary is named after Catarazza, it was the famous inventor Dadaro who created the flying device. , he was a craftsman and windmill builder in the southern city-state. After discovering Leonardo's manuscripts, he became obsessed with trying to fly like a bird. Inspired by these ideas, he created flying devices that he would not discover until later. The manuscript is a clever forgery and was not designed by Leonardo.
After Leonardo disappeared, some manuscripts appeared in the market that were difficult to tell whether they were genuine or fake. These manuscripts were enthusiastically sought after. Even if the devices and equipment on these manuscripts could not be manufactured with technology, they could still be exchanged for a large amount of gold. .
It is said that Leonardo has a second vision and can perform advanced alchemy, so he designed some medicines. In addition, there are some other strange items, such as a meteor silver compass and an energy prism, but these two items are said to be important to the Metal Academy. The research results are not his.
In addition to Leonardo's designs, the academy also produced a large number of strange gadgets, such as anti-aircraft guns, shield machines, imperial tanks, war carriages, freeze rays, alchemical bombs, and other bizarre devices.
Avel Ferrara is obsessed with stories of the Skaven, said to live beneath the surface of the Old World, and decides to find out for himself whether the creatures are real. With the help of his son and fellow students, he developed a larger drill and began experimenting with using his guide to explore the world beneath the streets. He never found any evidence of the Skaven, but his device found military applications. Unfortunately, all three of the original designs were lost, and his attention shifted to other devices to aid his implementation. A dream that proves that the dirty rat-men actually exist.
To put it bluntly, it is a hand-push shield machine, or a hand-push electric drill. The front is not a shield machine at all.
The pigeon bomb and another version of the aircraft are even more mediocre. The useful gadgets designed by the academy are various firearms, including multi-barreled pistols with repeating functions, grenade launchers and sniper rifles, but these things are not very popular yet. It would take three hundred years to take shape, and it would take another three hundred years for another great and crazy imperial engineer, Von Mecaput, to appear.
Darkus is now standing in a very far away and safe place, listening to the banging sound in the distance. He picked up the slide rule from the ground. In his opinion, the college itself is a complex place composed of shooting ranges, explosive test bunkers, well-equipped laboratories, and buildings flattened by failed experiments. He feels that many buildings in the college are new. Because the college was established not long ago, it was rebuilt after being bombed.
The site of the college was once known as Cloud Square because the low-lying terrain made it difficult for the morning fog to disperse. It has always been an ideal place to live, but it was not a crime-ridden slum. The reason why the academy was founded here was because of the proximity to the east gate and the nearby open space used for artillery training. It was also an open secret that the nobles of the south bank of Altdorf wanted the academy as far away from their estates as possible. Today, the area is better known for its smoking chimneys and steam from the squeaking gadgets that are constantly being tested in public spaces. When he stepped into the gate of the academy, Darkus saw the Altdorf Fire Brigade. The faces of those humans all had worried expressions. No one knew what would happen in the next second, fearing that the academy would be blown up in an instant. , incidentally blowing down the Altdorf wall near the academy. The college was full of panic-looking porters and lunatics running around. These lunatics either started dancing when they thought of magical ideas, and then ran to the laboratory crazily, or they beat their chests because of the failure of the experiment and thought about the details. The more extreme one is still slapping himself in the face.
Then nothing happened. Darkus came at the wrong time. The academy had only been established recently and there were no results yet. The seeds had just been planted and it would take a long time before they would bear fruit, so he didn't see anything being tested. Steam tank, not to mention other things he was familiar with, like the classic three-piece suit.
The Hellstorm rocket launcher will have to wait for a long time. It is said that after a Cathay envoy performed a fireworks display in Altdorf, an engineer got inspiration from the fireworks. He transformed the technology into weapons. The early prototype once defeated the Imperial College of Engineers due to accuracy issues. An entire floor of the building was blown beyond recognition, but the engineers with soot-faced faces did not give up, and finally succeeded in creating this unstable, but very deadly weapon. In the end, once these rockets hit their target, the result will be catastrophic, destroying surrounding enemies in a devastating explosion.
And this big flower was not called Hellstorm Rocket Launcher at first, it was called Rocket Launcher. This name also owes its name to the Elector Boris Todbringer. He was almost killed by a rocket once. The battle ended. The nickname "Hellstorm" emerged when he later berated the hapless group of bazooka gunners with his colorful and never-repeated curse words.
Cannons, Hellstorm Rocket Launchers and Hell Jet Serial Cannons are the three major armies of the Empire’s firepower. However, the Hell Jet Serial Cannons have not appeared at this time, and they will have to wait for more than two hundred years. If Darkus remembers correctly, Imperial Calendar 2302 In the year, Magnus from Nunn persuaded the nobles in the western part of the empire to march north to fight against the 12th Eternal Chosen from the south. Reikland also responded to the call, and many deadly soldiers from Stephen Franz Academy The prototypes and engineers followed Magnus north, and that's when the Hellspray Cannon was unveiled.
The destructive firepower of the Hellspray Cannon is capable of tearing apart entire armies in a single, deafening burst of fire. Its nine independent barrels are divided into three parts. By rotating the central crank, it can fire a round of destructive bullets. However, this thing is unstable and prone to jamming, misfires and explosive failures. Most of the gunners who operate complex operations are unable to do so. He is a believer in Moore, because it is convenient for him to report directly to Moore after he is killed by the bomb.
The Hellspitter is said to be Von Mecaput's deadliest invention, but various sources strongly suggest that the original research may have been sketched out by Leonardo, and there is also a theory that the Hellspitter was a It was designed by a rebellious dwarf engineer, but that's not important. The important thing is that although this thing is unreliable, it works really well.
After the end of the Great Anti-Chaos War, due to the outstanding performance of the Stefan Franz Academy, Magnus officially changed the academy to the Altdorf Imperial University. Its full name is Imperial Institute of Technology and Stefan Franz University of Mechanical Technology. A state-owned institution of higher learning that is funded by the government.
Unlike the Imperial Academy of Magic, which has independent colleges for each type of magic wind, Imperial College of Technology brings together all kinds of eccentric geniuses such as alchemists, doctors, biologists, and astronomers. Although some misguided engineers try to fuse the power of magic and technology, engineers are scientists first, and in the medieval world, science must be paid attention to! Reason and law are their expertise. Even so, the university still cooperates with the Golden Academy.
In addition to conducting research on various strange objects and trying to develop new or improve existing ordnance, Imperial College, as a landmark building like the Nuln Shooting Academy in the south, also produces heroic units such as engineers. They are not soldiers and appear frequently. On the battlefield, testing their latest inventions in actual combat, they also wielded protractors and ranging telescopes to guide the firing calibration of the Imperial artillery, ensuring that giant cannons and mortars hit their targets.
These engineers who master science are like having bonuses and auras in the game. They talk about ballistics that the soldiers cannot understand, and make various subtle calibrations on the battlefield where the race is against time, even though the gunners are unwilling to admit their calculations. More useful than their own experience honed over years of service, but their presence does make the Imperial artillery more deadly, certainly most of the time.
"What do you think?" Darkus asked, pointing to the human engineer operating a firearm in the distance.
Darkus knew that no matter where the elves came from, they could not tolerate firearms. Just like their racial characteristics, elves despised and hated firearms from the depths of their souls. Even he could not avoid this characteristic. The original musket, he It’s no longer needed. Even if firearms are indeed very powerful, in the eyes of elves, they are still miraculous and heretical, and not something to be afraid of. I, the great elf, have my own national conditions. Firearms are as noisy and ugly as their inventors. They fire a lot of smoke and have the risk of exploding their chambers. How can they compare with our elegant and deadly weapons and noble magic.
"Unstable, I believe in my magic." The frowning Belloda said first. She was also visiting the Human Academy, but the senses she gave her yesterday and today were completely different. Compared with yesterday, Altdorf University, she didn't like being here, she didn't like the distant banging sounds and the smell of gunpowder that kept getting into her nose.
"Not strong enough."
"Although the operation and training of muskets are simple, we have a long life to hone our skills." "We have
magic, and magic can achieve greater power than firearms."
"It is better to introduce lizard people. The solar engine is real."
"In close range shooting, I am sure to hit the target's throat with a bow and arrow. I have also used firearms, but the feeling of firearms to me..."
"You don't want to introduce firearms, do you? In my opinion, Keith steel is stable enough." Maranur confirmed to his brother. As his brother's staunch supporter, he did not make a comparison. Knowing that every step of his brother's actions was purposeful, he naturally thought that his brother would introduce firearms. He began to think about this and consider the feasibility.
"Some traditions should be abandoned." Darkus said lightly at first. He smiled and looked at the different reactions of his companions, and then said lightly, "But some traditions should be persisted!" Listen
! When Darkus gasped, the elves also breathed a sigh of relief.
Darkus came to Stephen Franz Academy just to take a look, and take a look at the medieval version of Leonardo da Vinci. Just like his brother said, the emergence of Keith Steel has improved the stability of firearms to a higher level, but he has no idea of introducing firearms, nor has he thought of enchanted muskets that can shoot Amber Spears.
In addition to the racial characteristics of the elves, this is related to many other things, such as the enemies they are facing now, the enemies they will face in the future, various social systems, etc. After coming to Ulthuan, Darkus is ready to conquer the next door. The idea of introduction is also related to the military. For example, the bow and arrow club regularly takes time out to take out bows and arrows from home to conduct unified training at a specific location. Are elves who do not use bows and crossbows still elves? Are they not elves? The problem is that the firearms in this world are not as easy to use as the Eldar ones.
Some things have to change, but not now, at least until the wind of magic in this world declines to a stage where flame casters cannot even release a big fireball and can only use flames to light cigarettes. At that time, the advantages of elves will be gone. Perhaps firearms should be considered at that time, and various academies and scientific systems can also support the emergence of firearms, and even firearms with yellow powder and cartridges at the back.
But having said that, the dual-standard and contradictory Darkus also considered getting some other firearms, some that did not require black powder. Like a gas tank? It is filled with a mixture of white sugar and ammonium nitrate fertilizer. One shot can cost an army of 100 people. In addition to the fertilizer, he has already ordered the gas tank and white sugar. The nitrate that is almost ready for yellow gunpowder can be replaced by other things. Like magic?
In addition to gas tanks, Darkus also thought about getting some big guns and installing them in the middle of the assault ship, just like the 63-type 107 rocket launcher. After aiming at the ground target, the assault ship performed a turning maneuver. During the maneuver, It doesn't matter whether it is powerful or not when pouring out large amounts of flowers. The important thing is that it can blow up the enemy's formation and plunge the enemy into chaos. Or fill the large flower with smoke-causing objects to smoke, disrupting the line of sight and creating chaos.
However, these things are a bit far away from Darkus. The most important thing at the moment is to obtain Leonardo's design manuscript. Compared with firearms and those weird things, he needs steam engines. He has also been thinking about a problem these days, farming. If so, with the rapid increase in population, the current Nagarond will definitely not be able to accommodate it. The plains outside Nagarond will definitely be used, and various military camps, factories and drills will be built on the vast frozen plain. of city walls and fortresses.
In addition to minstrel performances and sports leagues, soldiers must be given regular vacations and blind dates. Otherwise, how to create a population. According to Darkus, reasonable planning of soldiers' time is a science, a profound knowledge.
The most important thing is that Darkus wants to provide systematic heating facilities for Naggarond. He does not believe that extreme cold can temper the will of a nation. It can freeze people to death, unless the conditions are not met. , who would wrap up in a single coat and walk in the cold? Even if soldiers would train without clothes or swim naked in winter, no one would be able to stand being in that situation for a long time without magic. Make a fire to keep warm, otherwise there is a high probability that you will get hard the next day.
Systematic heating facilities can not only meet the needs of all aspects, but also build a large bathhouse. Darkus thought that except for Malekith, the rest of Druchi would need it. In the freezing weather of Nagaroth , who doesn’t love the big bathhouse? I didn’t have the conditions before, but now he’s here! The bathhouse can not only serve soldiers, but also serve all aspects of Druchi society. If there is no tradition, just create a tradition.
However, this involves many problems. Heating facilities require a large amount of coal. The transportation method of coal and the port utilization rate of Hagrid Grave and Naggarond are all problems. Darkus wants to build a balance between the two. A railway was built specifically to transport coal.
Darkus walked through the narrow strip between Hagrid Grave and Nagarond, and more than once. During the civil war between Hagrid Grave and Black Ark Nagor, he went from Nagarond to To Hagrid Grave, he led Hagrid Grave's army from Hagrid Grave to Naggarond during the Battle of Grond. There is no river between the two, and the area near the sea is flat, which is perfect for building railways.
Perhaps the steel mill should not only appear on the Nagol, but also in Nagarund. This can be more secure, and things cannot happen at the same time. Both the needs and the necessary conditions are now there, the only thing left is the steam engine. Although steam engines also appear in Lauren Loren's dwarf battlefield ruins, they have come. You have to take a look, learn and compare from the two. Develop the steam engine needed by Druch.
Steam engines are not only needed for railways, ships also need miniaturized steam engines to reduce the number of sailors. Factories also need steam engines to drive sky shafts to power equipment. Steam engines are also needed to cut down venom forests. The most important thing is that the continent of Lustria needs it the most. Darkus has been in Asriel for three years. Corresponding problems will arise every time he harvests, requiring a lot of labor dispatch, and even soldiers need to be laid off. To participate in the harvest, in addition to labor dispatch and soldiers, the giant beasts of the Lustria continent will also participate in this work.
In addition to harvesting, there are also problems when cultivating. There are no magical fertilizers in this world, usually magic and looking at the sky, but magic cannot achieve harvesting and cultivation. Ankylosaurus is very suitable for farming. Compared with cattle, Ankylosaurus is too efficient. The problem is that there are not that many Ankylosaurus and other giant beasts in Lustria.
In fact, we can find the Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus that Darkus encountered during his first trip to the Lustria continent from the jungle. The problem is that they cannot be raised. The Cordoba Administrative Region is dedicated to farming. It's so big that only a small part of it is currently utilized, so big that it's not fully rolled out at all, and it's so big that it requires the participation of hundreds and thousands of giant beasts. No one can stand it when this man eats horse chews and raises animals in idle time.
The elves can't stand it, and neither can the lizardmen. Darkus can't just appear on the Lustria continent every time there's farming, and then blow the horn to let the giant beasts emerge from the jungle to participate in the farming. This is a way. , the problem is that this method is too nonsense, he is the hand of the Witch King, not the night governor of Ashriel. So he could only count on the steam engine. The steam engine designed by Leonardo could be driven after being equipped with armor and artillery, and it would not be a problem to apply it to agriculture.
The emergence of agricultural steam engines can completely reduce the number of behemoths and labor dispatches. During the cotton harvest, the labor dispatches in Cordoba can be drawn out to pick cotton. In addition to national highways and waterways, Ashril also needs railways to transport products to the port.
"Is there nothing else here except these firearms?"
Cowell's words interrupted Darkos's thinking. Just as he was about to respond, Gilead's words interrupted him again.
"Yes!" Gilead, who was the guide for this trip, said categorically. He had been in Dongcheng District for about half a year. He was very familiar with Dongcheng District. Stephen Franz had been here too. He thought for a moment and continued. Said, "The anthropologist I mentioned this morning once told me..."
However, before Gilead could finish speaking, there was a huge explosion in the distance, and the huge explosion shook the elf's body. eardrum, and then a shock wave visible to the naked eye stirred up sand and soil, quickly approaching the location of the elves.
