"These guys! Too disappointing! "
Duranden stomped his feet angrily, "Groka is drunk! He's drunk! They don't even care about such a big thing! "
"You have the nerve to say that?"
Klot smiled and said, "If you hadn't tasted it first, I guess you would have gone down to grab it."
Duranden had nothing to say.
Of course, Tang En would not let go of this good opportunity to brush up his reputation among the dwarves. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, don't grab it. These wines are my gifts to you. You can line up to get a glass and slowly taste it. However, there is not much wine in this batch, so I can only say sorry to the friends who didn't drink it. "
"Of course." Tang En changed the topic. "In the future, I will open a brewery in my territory, Ellington. If there are any dwarven brothers who want to drink this kind of wine again, you can come to my territory. I will definitely welcome you warmly."
Duranden was stunned. He had never seen such a shameless person!
He actually dared to steal the dwarves' wine in front of him, the dwarf king!
"It's okay, it's okay!"
"Human friends! You are really good! If there is a chance, I will definitely go to Ellington to have a look! "
"Great! I'll be the first to line up! "
The dwarves immediately cheered and began to line up next to him.
Tang En gave the rest of the wine to a dwarf and let him be responsible for distributing it. As a reward, he could get one more glass. The dwarf happily accepted it, and then Tang En intended to put away the rest of the things.
"Wait, wait!"
Duranden anxiously stopped Tang En, "Didn't you say you would leave some for me? Why did you give it all to them!? "
Tang En spread out his hands, "I forgot."
"How can you be like this!"
Duranden looked at the dwarves who were scrambling to get the wine and could not continue to calm down, "No! You must have hidden more! "
Du Langdeng looked at Tang En with a strange look in his eyes. He remembered that Tang En had previously steamed more than 40 barrels, and now he had only taken out more than 20 barrels. It was clear that Tang En still had a lot hidden away.
How could he find this?
Tang En was speechless.
Du Langdeng threatened Tang En, "Leave me a few barrels, or I'll expose you! You can see how excited they are now. "
"Alright, alright, you win …"
Tang En raised his hands in surrender. "I'll leave you a few buckets when we get back, okay?"
"That's right," Durandon patted Tang En's belly and laughed. "As an honorary citizen of our Dwarf Kingdom, of course, you have to show your filial piety to your king."
Oh my god! The king actually asked for bribes!
"In addition to this," Durandon coughed lightly, his eyes drifting to the distiller next to him, "What do you plan to do with this set of brewing equipment?"
"Of course I'm taking him away …"
"No, no, no, big brother, look …"
When Tang En heard him call him big brother, he knew that he was up to something again.
"You said before that you don't like drinking. This set of equipment is useless to you. Why don't you give it to me?"
Durandon gave a thumbs up to Tang En, "The Dwarf King won't forget your contribution!"
"I can take it back and use it myself …"
"No, no, it's a complete waste for you to use it yourself, it's a waste!"
Durandon said bitterly, "Do you want to see so many dwarves who have tasted the new wine never to drink it again?"
Tang En said with a smile, "So, didn't I say it before? You can go to Ellington. "
Du Langdeng said with a beaming smile, "Don't you feel ashamed to openly poach my people?"
"Ashamed? What is that? Can it be eaten? "
Durandon said fiercely, "Give me this set of equipment, and I won't care about you stealing my people!"
"Not enough."
Tang En originally didn't care about this set of equipment. The reason why he did this was to whet Durandon's appetite and raise the price.
"What else do you want? … … I know! "
Durandon suddenly realized. After a long while, he said, "You said before that I will work hard to pass this at the King's Council. Is this okay?"
Only then did Tang En reveal a smile. "They're yours."
"Great!"
Durandon laughed wildly. He rushed over and waved his hand. The whole set of brewing equipment disappeared in an instant and was put into his space equipment.
Tang En, who got Durandon's promise, was also very happy. He could make the brewing equipment at any time, and there were not many opportunities to "sell" it at such a high value.
Obtaining the right to hire dwarves as employees, and the opportunity to trade ores with the Dwarf Kingdom, he was afraid that in the entire human kingdom, he was the only one. With the help of the Dwarf Kingdom, although the magic ores may still be a problem, the supply of ordinary gold, silver, copper, and iron should not be a problem. Among them, the largest consumption of iron was supplied by the Brussels Iron Mine. Ellington could enter a period of rapid development.
The remaining problem was how to quickly transport these ores and the bitumen dug out from the Black Swamp to Ellington.
Although it could be transported by manpower, it must be known that time was money, and speed was life. Only higher efficiency would bring faster development.
Groka was completely drunk. Tang En left him a note, telling him to wake up and go to the hammersmith's house to find him. After that, he went to have lunch with Durandon and Klotto.
Looking at the smiling Durandon at the dinner table, Klotto could not help but shake his head and laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Durandon said righteously, "This is a deal! Do you understand a deal!? "
"I understand … …"
Klotto held back his laughter and suddenly looked at Tang En, "Tang En, you said before that you wanted to talk to me. What do you want to talk about? Is it about engineering? "
Tang En swallowed the barbecue and smiled, "Yes, I have always been very interested in dwarven technology, and I have done some research."
"Oh!?"
A human who studied engineering and was interested in dwarven technology?
Klotto's eyes lit up, "What kind of research?"
Tang En gave a faint smile, "Magic power drive."
"Magic power drive?"
Klotto knit his brows, "That is an unfamiliar field to me. You should know that we dwarves cannot use magic."
"Of course I know, but what I am researching is how to directly convert magic from Magic Crystals or Magic Cores into power, using it to drive construction machines that ordinary people can use."
Hearing Tang En say this, Klotto's eyes lit up, "Not bad, this is a good idea."
"Master Klotto, I want to know what you are currently using as the power source for construction machines?"
"Steam … … We use a kind of semi-sealed container and then use the power of steam expansion to drive the machines. Do you need me to explain the specific principles to you?"
"No need, I have a general understanding of it. Is there no more advanced power source?"
"There is no more."
Klotto said helplessly, "Even though the ancestors of the dwarves had created very glorious achievements and had even gone beyond Lorita and Loria, that huge explosion destroyed all records of civilization. Now, we can only search for clues from various ruins and try our best to restore the achievements of our ancestors."
"Although we have restored a part of it, to be honest, we only know how to make a lot of devices, but we don't understand the principles behind them, so the failure rate is very high."
Tang En was stunned. He only just found out that the dwarves of Prandal had already created the steam engine. Not only that, their ancestors had already rushed out of Prandal and landed on the two satellites!
Tang En was in awe. It seemed that he had underestimated the potential of the dwarves and gnomes. These two unremarkable races had a civilization level that was even higher than the human civilization on Earth!
After the conversation started, Clotho and Dunn chatted as they ate their lunch and drank beer. What made Durandon feel awkward was that he could not get a word in on the topic of their conversation.
Although he could understand the words when they were separated, he was completely at a loss when they were connected together.
What gear combination to calculate the efficiency of the transmission of force, what metal material to the steam piston friction, and what damned rapid cooling module to prevent the cylinder from exploding … … What the hell was all this?!
During the conversation with Klotto, Tang En finally had a general understanding of the situation of the dwarves in Prandal. Just as he said before, due to that big explosion, the dwarves and gnomes' civilization had almost completely disappeared. They could only find the past records from various ruins that were lucky enough to survive and restore them.
Simply put, the technology tree of the dwarves was completely crooked. They were still using the very backward steam engine as a power source, but they were still able to create many heaven-defying things.
For example, mechanical creatures with simple intelligence, energy shield devices that could absorb damage, X-ray glasses that could see through things, and even the anti-gravity well, which was a heaven-defying artifact, had been restored by them.
Their ability to imitate and learn was very strong. They could create these devices left behind by the previous civilization, and they could even barely use them. For example, the shrinking ray device that he had mentioned before.
But why would the shrinking ray device shrink the target? Why could the energy shield absorb damage? Why could the X-ray glasses see through things? Why could the anti-gravity well form an anti-gravity effect? What was the principle behind it? The dwarves did not understand, but they felt that it was awesome.
The collapse of their civilization had caused them to lose their complete inheritance. Although imitation could be successful, they still had not studied and understood the specific principles behind many devices. This also led to the high error rate of many devices made by the dwarves.
"Bang!"
When it came to an exciting part, Klotto slammed the table and roared emotionally, "It's all because of those damn green-skinned, big-eared monsters! If their ancestors didn't like to study bombs, they wouldn't have blown up their hometown, and we wouldn't have fallen to this point! "
"Oh!"
Duranden suddenly realized, "This is why you dwarves don't study bombs now?"
"That's right!"
Klotto said without hesitation, "If an egg explodes, then it must be the fault of the goblin technology!"
Tang En muttered, "Why does this sound so familiar …"
"Haha!"
Duranden laughed and said, "That's because the goblins said, 'If an egg hatches a duck, then it must be the fault of the dwarven technology'."
Klotto was so angry that his beard trembled, "That damn Levitz Goldtooth! He betrayed the great scientific development route! He took refuge in the evil capitalism! "
To repeat, Prandal didn't have chickens or ducks. The reason why he said this was because Tang En had already changed the names of similar creatures for convenience.
