The shameless Tang En stood his ground, ignoring the strong protests of Brian and Nokia, and took the position of the dean of the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute.
In fact, he thought that no one else was suitable to take the position except for him.
Because only Ellington could manage these things, and only he could give them a clear direction of development.
After grumbling for a while, Brian also gave up resisting. What was that saying again? If a submissive employee couldn't resist the boss's attack, please close your eyes and enjoy it.
"Big Brother, where's the thing we agreed on?"
Brian was full of complaints, but he didn't dare to expose it to Tang En.
Having crossed swords with Tang En several times before, he knew that Tang En was an evenly matched opponent. Tang En was a hidden black-bellied person who was not any weaker than him. If Tang En knew that he was cursing him in his mind, he would probably be bedridden in a few days.
He would definitely do it.
"Let's start, it's simple."
Twain snapped his fingers, and the material floated up. Transparent alchemy flames quickly ignited, and the metal quickly softened and was molded into shape. Then, a wind magic array appeared on the bottom of the substrate. The precise control of the magic power made Groka, who was not far away, envious and jealous.
After the main part was done, the drill was also formed. Tang En engraved a weakened version of the magic array inside the drill. That was the magic array version of the Stone to Mud spell. It didn't seem to have been mentioned before that all Prandal's spells could be converted into magic arrays. According to the chosen rune, it could be changed into a conditional trigger, a continuous trigger, a one-time trigger, and so on.
Of course, the complexity of the magic array would be different according to the chosen rune. On top of that, various conditional runes had to be added, such as weakening the power and range, reducing the size, and so on. With all these added together, the difficulty of setting up the magic array would increase exponentially. At least, the only available mage under Tang En, Groka, couldn't set it up manually.
Elijah was talented, so she might be able to do it, but Tang En didn't want her to come into contact with these things too early. To her, a happy childhood was more important.
"Done!"
In less than half an hour, a handheld version of the Mana Drill was created.
"What is this?"
No matter how Brian looked at it, he found it pleasing to the eye. It was as if it had a natural attraction to him.
"This is a drill that can break through the sky."
"Ah?"
"Oh, I mean, you can call it a magical drill."
Tang En chuckled as he turned on the switch. The drill bit of the drilling machine immediately began to rotate stably under the impetus of the wind magic formation. He found a stone and gently pressed it. The moment the hard stone touched the drill bit, the Stone to Mud spell took effect. Then everyone saw that the hard stone was easily drilled into by the drilling machine like soft butter. The flying stone fragments were swept away by the rotating blade, not hindering the excavation work at all.
Just standing aside and looking at it for a while, Brian was so excited that his face turned red. He was not a fool. Of course, he could see the great significance of this thing!
Brian's breathing quickened, and he almost immediately rushed forward to hug Tang En's thigh. "Big brother! Let me try it! "
Tang En did not hesitate to hand the magic-powered drill over to Brian. If he had been any slower, his little brother would probably have died in the hands of the Demon.
Brian followed Tang En's example and turned on the switch, adjusting the speed valve to the maximum. Feeling the strong vibration of the Mana Drill, he could not help but cry out, "Oh oh oh oh oh!!! This is the feeling! It's awesome!! "
Tang En patted his head. Was this thing broken?
Brian tried to resist the Mana Drill for a while, and then laughed wildly. "Divine tool! This thing is definitely a divine tool! My drill bit can break through the sky! "
Think about it, if this thing could be mass produced, the dwarves and human miners would all have one. How amazing would the mining efficiency be!?
When that time came, they would no longer need to use pickaxes to mine. Instead, everyone would be able to use convenient magic to aid their own mining work, just like the runic dwarves!
How much easier would it be?
The efficiency would be increased by five times? Ten times?
No! The efficiency would be increased by at least ten times!
"Big brother, mass produce! This thing must be mass produced! "
Brian's eyes shone. As a dwarf who dealt with mines and ores all year round, in just a short time, he was already fond of this thing.
"Big brother, you may not know, but if this thing is mass produced, after the miners in the mine are equipped with it, the output of ores will be greatly increased!"
"Of course I know."
Tang En spread out his hands. "Mass production naturally has to be mass produced."
"After mass production, don't forget to sell a batch to Durand!"
"You still remember your son?"
"Nonsense! No matter how heartless I am, I am still a qualified father. At least I let my son become a king! "
"Unfortunately, he is a dwarf king …"
Tang En curled his lips, and then said, "This Mana Drill is not difficult to craft. I will prepare the stamping head of the magic array needed. The processing of the drill bit, the body of the drill, the casing, and the gears will be left to you. Do you have any problems?"
Brian patted his chest. "Of course!"
If it were before, he might have been worried about the processing problem. But now, with the help of the dwarves, the difficulty of some of the complicated processing processes was reduced by a lot. In addition, Tang En's design concept could greatly reduce the production pressure, so he was not worried.
"Then let's begin."
Tang En clapped his hands. As he turned around, he felt a familiar presence appear in the central square of Ellington.
It was Eibron.
Why is this great god here?
Tang En was shocked and hurried to greet Eibron.
"Why are you here?"
Eibron looked around with interest. "Durand sent someone to pass you a message. I had nothing to do, so I came to take a look. Your territory looks even more deserted than before. I don't see many people around."
Tang En smiled. "They are all busy with the construction of the new city. Of course it looks deserted. Why is Durand looking for me? "
"He said there's something in the Black Swamp called Cyan? We've already dug up a lot of it. It's been occupying the warehouse for a while now. I hope you can get it out of there as soon as possible. "
"The asphalt is already out?!"
Tang En grew excited. "How much did you dig up?"
"I'm not sure. You can go take a look yourself."
"I'll go right now."
"You go first. I'll walk around here for a bit."
Eibron waved his hand and sauntered away.
Twain immediately stepped onto the teleportation array and arrived at Hammer Forging Castle the next moment.
The guards at the door noticed a human coming out and subconsciously grabbed their weapons. When they saw Tang En's face clearly, the muscles on their faces suddenly relaxed. "Hey! Brother! So Master Eibron was looking for you! "
Thanks to the Brewfest, Tang En's name and appearance had been firmly etched in the minds of the dwarves. They also knew he was close to Eibron and was an honorary citizen of the dwarven kingdom, so they let their guard down.
"Thank you for your hard work. Where is His Majesty?"
"His Majesty should be in the council hall right now."
One of the guards smiled. "Do you need me to mark it on the map for you?"
Tang En paused. "Huh? There's such a service? "
This wasn't a game …
The guard shrugged. "Of course, as long as you buy the map."
"Alright, I won't trouble you."
Tang En hurried to the council hall. It was lunchtime, and the dwarves in the hall were walking out in twos and threes. When they saw Tang En, they all greeted Tang En, giving him the treatment of a superstar.
"Tang En? That's fast. "
Just then, Durandon and Tess also came out. They were surprised to see Tang En.
"This is good news. Of course, I'm a step faster."
Tang En smiled and saluted. "Greetings, Empress Tess. May your heart be as broad as the earth."
"Thank you. I'll go first. Stay for lunch later."
Tess had been married for a while, and she had already gotten into her role. Seeing that her husband and Tang En had something to do, she left first.
Tang En smiled. "Looks like I'm in luck. Tess is actually willing to let me stay for lunch."
Durandon laughed. "The previous wedding left a deep impression on Tess. I'm afraid you'll be her favorite human. Come on, my friend, I really can't understand why you like asphalt. Please forgive my straightforwardness, but that smell is really, well, pungent."
Following Durandon all the way to the outer warehouse of Hammer Forging Castle, Durandon nagged. "At first, collecting this thing gave us a lot of headaches. But later, we found the trick, and the efficiency gradually increased a lot. At least, it's much more efficient than mining."
"It's only been a month, and we've already dug a lot. So much so that I had to organize a warehouse just to store it … My friend, you'd better hold your breath or cover your nose. The smell inside is not good. If you're not careful, you'll faint inside. "
"Don't worry, don't forget that I'm a magician. "
"That's true!"
After Durandon opened the door of the warehouse, a very choking smell rushed out. Fortunately, Tang En had already opened a magic shield, blocking the smell outside.
Durandon shrugged. "This is the result of a month of digging. I think, even if you have a spatial equipment, I'm afraid it'll take a lot of trips to transport it."
Tang En's breathing suddenly stopped. In front of him, inside the huge and empty warehouse, there were piles of Tar Mountain!
At least ten thousand tons!
