Standing in front of a simple microscope that Tang En had put together, Master Klotto was so excited that his face turned red.
"So it's like this — the principle behind the Master Engineer Glasses is so simple that none of us discovered it!"
Klotto's voice was filled with excitement. The appearance of every new technology meant that they were one step closer to the glory of their ancestors. The simple lens principle that Tang En had pointed out allowed him to understand the principle behind the Master Engineer Glasses.
As long as they understood the principle behind the technology, they would be able to restore the equipment of the past based on the fragments and documents that they had excavated from the ruins.
The Master Engineer Glasses that had been mentioned many times clearly played an important role in the history of Dwarf technology. Tang En felt that it was like a portable personal microscope that could help them observe the circuit … or something else?
Master Klotto looked at the world under the microscope with an intoxicated expression. The parts and blades that looked perfect with the naked eye had their flaws exposed under the microscope. Regardless of whether it was the burrs on the edges of the parts or the gaps on the blades, they were all magnified tens of times and could be seen clearly.
If they could not see the problem, they would ignore it. After seeing the problem, they would think of ways to solve it. This was the importance of observation technology.
Tang En smiled and said, "This is just a simple microscope. An optical microscope can magnify by hundreds or even thousands of times. It can even allow you to see microorganisms and cells that you could not see before. The higher the magnification, the more problems you will see."
"Magnify by thousands of times!"
Klotto raised his head and his breathing was abnormally rapid. He shouted at Tang En, "Tang En! My friend! Where is the microscope that can magnify by thousands of times!? As long as you can make it, I can provide you with anything you want — as long as we have it! "
Tang En touched his nose and smiled, "I can only make this kind of thing. I can't make a more powerful microscope. However, Master Klotto, if you know the principle behind it, you should have a clue, right?"
"That's right!"
After hearing Tang En's words, Master Klotto was disappointed for a moment before his fighting spirit rose again. "As long as you give us a direction, even if it's Lorita, we will be able to climb back up!"
No, no, no, Lorita is used for love, not for climbing … Eh? It seemed like there was something wrong with using it for love?
Tang En glanced at Elijah, who was absent-mindedly playing with the Arcane Ball, and silently complained in his heart. Then, he said, "Master Klotto, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you for this technology. My side … Well, they're all magic, and I don't know much about technology."
"No problem! Leave it to me! "
Clotho patted his chest, and then felt a little indignant. "You're clearly a mage, so why do you know more than us engineering experts?"
"See more, observe more, and the truth of all things will naturally appear before my eyes. Magic cannot be an obstacle in my pursuit of the truth. Instead, it is a very good tool."
Looking at the inexplicable admiration in the eyes of the people around him, Tang En knew that he had accidentally acted tough again.
"If I can conquer this technology, I can guarantee that the key problem of the steam battle tanks will be solved!"
Clotho rubbed his hands impatiently, and his eyes glowed. "I can't wait to see the steam battle tanks running on the ground again!"
In Clotho's workshop, there had been no progress on the semi-finished steam battle tanks. This was because the steam engine often malfunctioned, and the pistons could not reach the target lifespan. Furthermore, the cylinders would also malfunction. Now that he thought about it, it must be because the precision of the process was not up to standard, and there were flaws in the pistons and cylinders, which led to the frequent cylinder failures.
Although using the wind-powered magic engine provided by Tang En could achieve the same results, Clotho was still indignant. According to the records, the pygmy battle tanks were known as the kings of land battles. In the civilization of 10,000 years ago, they helped the pygmies and goblins fend off countless powerful enemies, allowing them to stand at the top of the world. Although, in the end, the goblins went overboard …
The pygmies were very clear that the current world was no longer the world of the past. Now, there were magical beasts, magic, humans, elves, orcs, and other races. They could cultivate Blood Force and master magic, but the pygmies could only rely on technology.
Therefore, what every pygmy leader had to do was to work hard to restore the technological achievements of history, so that the pygmies could gain a foothold in this world and not be wiped out.
Tang En suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Master Clotho, how are the improvements on the Heaven Breaker?"
In the previous beast tide, the stunning appearance of the Heaven Breaker had attracted a lot of attention, and Clotho and the others had also collected a lot of data from that battle. This data would be used to improve the Heaven Breaker.
Now that Ellington had declared independence, the other two dukedoms had also announced that they would accept the rule of the new king. Lord Taris had not made a statement for the time being, but Lord Nitro should be on the side of Ellington. At the very least, he would remain neutral after knowing the truth.
Therefore, Ellington, who had declared independence, would definitely become a thorn in Girard's side. It was foreseeable that Ellington would soon face a war. It would not be the childish siege of Kasparmi Castle, but a real war.
And the Heaven Breaker was currently the closest to a practical air combat platform. Tang En was very clear about the importance of air supremacy in war, so of course, he was very concerned about the progress of the Heaven Breaker.
If the Heaven Breaker was basically finalized and could start production, Tang En planned to buy a batch first and start to build the Ellington Air Force.
"The current progress is not bad."
When it came to the Heaven Breaker, Clotho was obviously very proud. He said, "The data collected from the previous beast tide has been analyzed. Whether it is the power distribution of the wind-powered magic engine and the steam engine, the combat radius, or the distribution of fuel and ammunition, we have a very perfect design. Most importantly, we have gained inspiration from Brian's cushioning armor and redesigned the outer shell. The new outer shell is more resistant to impact and stronger in defense."
"As for firepower, we are temporarily considering conventional firepower as the main weapon, with special weapons as support. The gnomish degeneration ray and the gnomish freezing ray are very difficult to produce. We have only assembled them from parts excavated from the ruins. We are not capable of dismantling and producing them on our own."
"As for the idea of installing goblin bombs …" Clotho's face showed a hint of hesitation.
A hint of reluctance flashed across Clotho's face. "Although I really don't want the dwarves' spaceships to have big-eared monsters, I have to say that dropping bombs from high altitudes isn't a bad idea. Compared to those missiles, the cost is much lower, and the power isn't much different."
Even Clotho was not immune to the prejudice against goblins.
Tang En smiled inexplicably, and then said, "This is just a stopgap measure. If possible, it would be better to use all missiles. After all, goblin bombs cannot be used against the air."
"That's right!"
Clotho's spirits were lifted. "Gnomish missiles are excellent weapons. Not only can they be used against the air, they can also be used against the ground. Compared to those big-eared monsters who only know how to explode, they are many times better!"
Gnomish missiles were of course not the same as those on Earth. It was a weapon with similar uses and effects. In the end, it was just a large bomb with its own propulsion system. However, with the addition of a propulsion system, it had anti-air capabilities. Although it did not have the same targeting and tracking effects as those on Earth, it was better than the goblins in this aspect.
After chatting for a while, Clotho could not wait to return to Gear City. He was anxious to try making a microscope.
"Master Clotho, if the microscope is successfully developed, I want to buy a batch first."
Tang En hurriedly said, "My researchers here need the help of a microscope."
"Of course! My friends! You don't have to buy it — I will give it to you for free! This is the reward you deserve for the technical support you provide! "
Clotho laughed heartily. It was all thanks to Tang En that he had the opportunity to take a step forward in engineering. Of course, he would not be stingy with these things.
In fact, after several exchanges with Tang En, Clotho had long regarded himself as a staunch ally of Tang En. He believed that as long as Tang En was still alive, he could obtain all kinds of incredible knowledge and inspiration from Tang En. Restoring the glory of Gnomish engineering was just around the corner, so he was willing to support Tang En unconditionally.
After sending Clotho off, Tang En thought for a moment. Considering the war, he said to Nokia, "After you go back, discuss with Brian and Pamela. For the time being, don't think about the mass production of the magic pistols. First, hand-produce a batch of magic pistols with a single spell effect and equip the captain-level warriors with them."
"Understood." Nokia nodded. "What spell effect should be the main one?"
Tang En thought for a moment and said, "Fireball spell. With Elijah and Pamela's knowledge in magic, it shouldn't be a problem to duplicate a single miniature magic circle."
Fireball, Frost Arrow, and Arcane Missile. Among the three spells, Fireball was undoubtedly the most powerful in terms of lethality. It was also the best choice as a weapon.
Considering that there were only about 200 captain-level warriors in Ellington's 4,000 warriors with combat power, it should be possible to produce 200 magic pistols with a single spell effect.
If a war really broke out, these 200 magic pistols should be able to surprise the enemy on the battlefield. After all, in Prandal, the deterrence of magic was very strong.
Perhaps the enemy would mistakenly think that Ellington had a sorcerer army?
Tang En thought happily as he returned to the Lord's Residence.
After running around for a day, Aurelia and Olina had already packed their things and were waiting for Tang En to come back.
Tang En had not been to Taris before, so naturally, he could not directly teleport there. The best route was to first go to Alinx, and then set off from there and go all the way north.
At this time, returning to Alinx was obviously a very unwise choice, so they only had one choice.
