Just how many technologies were needed to evolve from the early steam engine era to the era where steam locomotives were widely used? How many black technologies were needed?
Duque did not count.
But as an engineering student, and one who majored in building environment and equipment engineering at that, he had enough knowledge to overcome all of this.
Damn it, why did he have to learn about the environment? He had no environmental knowledge at all, and he wanted to learn thermodynamics and boilers?
Learning about boilers and having a terrifyingly expressionless tutor with a terrifying aura. On the first day of class, he threw a poor bastard who was playing with his new iPhone out of the fourth floor. This made Duque, who had skipped classes three days before his transmigration, go to school obediently like a grandson.
Alright, studying hard will always pay off.
Duke rambled on and on about his ideas for the train, as well as the key elements to pay attention to. The three Dwarven Kings all looked like they were his disciples, especially Magni and Gerbin, who were taking notes in their notebooks.
Although Eagle Nest Mountain always used griffins, which seemed unrelated to this, the dwarves' fascination with black technology was almost ingrained in their bones.
The other kings did not understand at all, but this did not stop them from showing an expression that said they did not understand, but thought it was awesome.
It did not matter if they did not understand, as long as they felt that it would work.
"Daelin, what do you think?" Solas asked softly.
"You don't say, I've never seen Duque unreliable when he does things." Daelin's evaluation was quite high.
Antonidas decided to stop Duque first. "Alright, next question. We all think that you can build this … railway to Redridge Mountain without a problem. What about the Swamp of Sorrows? You can solve the technical problems for now, but what about the threat in the swamp? Our people lost a lot of people when they crossed the swamp. What about the manpower to build the railway? "
Duque snapped his fingers, and Gavinrad, who was guarding the side hall door, immediately understood and opened the door.
Not just the kings, but all the guests were extremely surprised.
Because there were two nagas and a strange murloc standing at the door, wearing leather armor with the emblem of Stormwind.
Everyone knew that there were Naga and Murlocs in Stormwind. Everyone had always thought that they were a lowly race that couldn't be shown in public, even though they had always been part of Stormwind's establishment. No one had ever thought that Duque would formally introduce them in such an occasion.
"Let me introduce to everyone, this is the Murloc Prophet Mogor, the Furious Scale Naga Priest Vara, and the Spiky Spine Naga Priest Sephyllis."
It had been a long time since Vara had attended an important occasion. After the battle at the Ocean View Cliff to annihilate the main force of the Blackstone Clan, she almost thought that she had lost her value and was forgotten by Duque.
She didn't expect Duque to introduce her to the higher-ups of the Alliance.
This was undoubtedly a promotion of status and recognition.
"Respected Kings, Vara Furrin Avis pays his respects to you." Vara and Sephyllis folded their arms and bowed to the Kings.
The kings nodded in return.
Even if it was inconspicuous, it was still an indescribable respect. The three leaders of the other races were so touched that they trembled.
Duque continued his introduction, "I will use a portal to send the Naga troops and a portion of the elite Murlocs into the Swamp of Sorrows. At that time, the construction of the railway in the Redridge Mountain region will be handled by the newly captured Orc captives. And the Swamp of Sorrows will be helped by the Murlocs and male Naga. "
After discussing with Gerbin, Magni said, "We believe that the technology provided by Duque will have a revolutionary effect on our mining skills and mineral transportation. In return, we Bronzebeard Dwarves and Pygmies will unconditionally provide the iron ingots and workers needed to build the railway. "
The Kings were in an uproar when they heard this.
No one had expected that Duque's new technology would allow the Dwarves to give away iron and manpower without risking anything.
This was practically a free transportation lifeline!
Everyone broke into a heated discussion.
Wasn't Duque's move too beautiful? He said he would take care of everything, but in the end, he didn't even have to spend a single copper.
Were the Bronzebeard Dwarves fools?
Of course not. Didn't they see how the Iron Furnace Castle Dwarves wouldn't act until they saw the rabbit? After hundreds of years of dealing with the Dwarves, everyone knew that they were unexpectedly shrewd under their boorish appearance. They would never lie, but they would never let themselves be cheated.
Duque's technology definitely had the key to their dreams, which was why they were willing to pay so much.
Laing nudged Andoine with his elbow and smiled. "See, I told you to put Duque in the overall situation. That's where he can really make use of his abilities."
Andoine replied with a smile, "Do you still remember that year when Stormwind City almost suffered a famine?"
"Yes."
"If we could transport the food from East Elvin to Stormwind City that year, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
"Yes! The wheat rotted halfway through the journey. "
The people of this era didn't have much concept of logistics. But that didn't stop the farsighted kings from seeing the benefits of high-speed logistics.
"The construction of the railway can also stimulate the upgrading of Iron Furnace Castle's production techniques," Duque said. "For example, I can have Iron Furnace Castle make a set of building molds and mass produce them, cutting the time needed to build a house by half."
…
Duque answered the kings' questions with a smile, and every answer was very satisfying.
He was also very confident in this plan.
Didn't they see how the country had been working on the 'One Belt, One Road' before he transmigrated?
Didn't they see how the country's logistics industry flourished after the spread of high-speed rail, driving the economies of various regions? As long as this plan succeeded, it wouldn't just be a military hub, it would also be a complete economic lifeline.
That's right, every country suffered greatly after the war and needed to be rebuilt.
Duque's method was undoubtedly a form of work in lieu of relief. With the construction of the railway, more food and specialties could be transported out from the depths of the forest, either to be used as supplies to the cursed lands or to be shipped out of Stormwind Port to be sold to the various kingdoms in the Northern Continent.
Duque's unique post-war economy had undoubtedly given the countries that lacked money and silver a new way to stimulate their economies.
In just one night, Duque had made everyone forget about the leader of Rotterdam.
That's right! Without the help of the once wealthy Rotterdam Kingdom, the remaining eight countries of the Alliance had already found a new way to resist foreign enemies and revitalize the economy after the war, excluding the Rotterdam Kingdom, Quel 'Thalas, and Gilnis.
