As soon as Tang En returned to Ellington, he immediately went to find Fiona and told her about the results.
After hearing the good news of Taris's cooperation, Fiona's spirits were lifted, and she felt the pressure in her heart lessen a lot.
Although she was very confident in Twain, the disparity in strength between Ellington and a country was still too great. Now that they had Taris' support, even if they did not send a single soldier, just their support alone would cause Girard to have no choice but to divert his attention.
After letting Fiona spread the good news, Tang En hurried to the Magic Engineering Research Institute.
"My Lord, the production of the magic pistols has not been completed yet …"
"I know, that's not why I'm here. Call Brian over as well."
Nokia ran to call Brian, and Tang En sat on the chair next to him and began to think.
During the negotiations with Nitro, he promised to provide him with mining equipment that he would be satisfied with, but in reality, the only thing that could be used for mining in Ellington was a magic-powered drill. Although the magic-powered drill was not bad, it might not be able to meet Nitro's requirements.
A complete set of magic machines for mining must be produced, not only for Nitro, but also for the future development of Ellington. The improvement of mining and smelting efficiency would be a great help to the speed of industrialization.
"Big brother, what's the matter? I'm busy! "
Brian and Nokia hurried over. When they heard that Tang En had come, Elijah also trotted over, and then threw herself into Tang En's arms with a smile.
Tang En patted Elijah's head, and then said to Brian, "I have a new idea here, and I need you to help me perfect it."
"New idea!?"
Brian and Nokia's eyes lit up. "About what?"
"Mines."
After a pause, Tang En continued, "What I'm thinking now is to replace the magic engine with the steam engine and integrate it with the gnomish subway. At the same time, according to the specific environmental conditions of the mine, we can produce a mine car that can easily transport ore and miners."
Although the Gnome Subway had already been put into use by them, the steam engine was already sealed, and the dense smoke and dust in the sealed space really affected the experience. If they could replace the steam engine and the external combustion engine with the more environmentally friendly and efficient wind-powered magic engine, the Gnome Subway would undoubtedly become even more outstanding. If they were to add on Tang En's modern design concept and the elves' artistic talent, a miraculous transportation tool would probably be born in the end.
"Replacing the steam engine with the magic engine to power the gnomish subway? Entering the mines … I'm afraid it's very troublesome. The environment in the mines are very complex, with all kinds of caves and veins. This requires a very complex set of control methods and as detailed as possible. "
As a dwarf, Brian had a clear understanding of the mines. The dwarves never used any transportation tools in the mines. They themselves were the best tools, and they only needed pickaxes.
Nokia calmly analyzed and said, "The complex terrain is not a problem. As long as the tracks are fixed, the path of the mine car can be fixed. The structure of the gnomish subway only needs to be slightly modified, increasing the capacity of the car bucket, and shortening the body of the car. It will be very suitable for the environment of the mines. The main problem now is the replacement of the power source."
"That's right."
Tang En nodded. "The structural deformation and design work can be solved by your gnomish technical team. Replacing the wind-powered magic engine as the power source, the corresponding whole set of power core will have to be changed. I think you can find inspiration from the magic planter."
"If it has the role of transporting miners and ores, the requirements for power will be very high. A single wind-powered magic engine may not be able to meet the requirements. At the very least, it must have two wind-powered ones."
An ordinary wind-powered magic engine only had one wind-powered magic circle, so it was a single wind-powered engine. On this basis, Tang En had also developed two wind-powered, four wind-powered, and other upgraded engines, but they were not available to the public yet.
"Go to the warehouse and get the engine yourself. If you need to adjust the structure, come to me. Now you need to come up with a design of the mine car, especially how to deal with the various special environments in the mines. You can ask Brian about this. Pay attention to the problems of shock absorption, buffering, and loading and unloading. We don't have much time left, so let's get started as soon as possible. "
Tang En clapped his hands and motioned for them to get started. "After this is done, I have another thing for you to study."
Tang En was talking about the automatic magic car, which was also the electric car and the magic car.
This trip to Taris had once again made Tang En feel the importance of transportation. Not to mention the roads, he was very dissatisfied with the speed of the dragon car. In a day, with good road conditions, it could only travel about 200 kilometers. On Earth, it would only take an hour to drive.
Now, the Star Diamond Bank was working overtime to pave the road. As they gradually familiarized themselves with the work process, the efficiency and speed of paving the road would be further improved. Soon, the main road from Ellington to the outside would be paved. It was also time to consider the issue of the magic car.
Most importantly, if the magic car could be done, then the corresponding heavy transport vehicles, armored vehicles, and so on would be ready to be produced. If a war really broke out, the transportation efficiency of Ellington would be several times higher than that of other forces. This could even determine the outcome of a war.
Nokia left in a hurry. His engineering team needed time to analyze the design of the gnomish subway. The mine car had nothing to do with the gnomish subway, but after a brief explanation from Tang En, they immediately understood what Tang En wanted.
It was a rail transport that used the power of a magic engine to transport the ore out of the mine and the miners into the mine.
With the design of the gnomish subway and the simulation of the mine environment provided by Brian, Nokia confidently said that this task was not difficult at all.
"Big brother, are you going to work again?"
Elijah pulled Tang En's sleeve reluctantly and looked at him pitifully, like an abandoned puppy.
Tang En sighed. "Because there are a lot of things to do. How's Elijah's magic study recently?"
"Big brother, look!"
Elijah immediately showed Tang En the results of her recent studies in high spirits. Fireball, ice ball, and arcane ball, three different types of power flew around her, entangling and dancing with each other. They contained extremely pure power, but not a trace of it leaked out. Her control of magic had now been strengthened to an incredible degree.
In the process of constantly studying magic circles with the help of the Magic Engineering Research Institute, her control of magic had been further strengthened. At the same time, thanks to the teachings of the elven scholar Pamela and the others, Elijah's understanding of magic had also deepened.
She had not yet awakened the consciousness of the goddess, but now she was a super magic genius with terrifying potential. It was also because of Elijah that the Magic Engineering Research Institute could now produce a small number of magic pistols in the laboratory.
"That's amazing!"
Tang En praised her, then said, "Elijah's power is very strong. Big brother now needs your power. I need you to help produce magic pistols in the research institute. This is something that only you can do, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Elijah nodded fiercely. All the grievances in her stomach had disappeared, leaving only Tang En's praise and trust for her. Full of happiness, she did not hesitate to agree to Tang En's request.
After all, she was only twelve … Oh, she was thirteen now.
Seeing the little girl skipping back to the research institute, Tang En's mood was very complicated. He always felt that it was wrong for him to use a child like this, but it would be a waste if he did not use her magic talent in this way.
Tang En shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and rushed to the Black Rock Caverns.
The construction of the Black Rock Caverns had been very smooth. After the trade route with the surface world was opened, the dark elves and the Redstone Dwarves had obtained a large amount of materials in a short time. In addition, they had also obtained a large amount of food from the trade with Tang En. After not having to worry about the threat of hunger, they cooperated like never before.
Not only did they work together to build the Great Tang Military Factory in the Black Rock Caverns, but they also started to cooperate to explore the underground world. The huge underground world had many branches and was even vaster than the surface world. Such a large area was more than enough to satisfy any of their needs.
With the help of the elemental creatures, the construction of the Black Rock Caverns had come to an end. As an industrial production base, this place had already met the standards, but as a living area, it still lacked some conditions. The elemental creatures were currently finishing up the construction of the living areas.
"The central area, the metallurgy area, the forging area, the mold area, the finished product area, the experimental area, and so on have all been completed and can be used at any time. According to your instructions, the large furnace did not draw lava and is waiting for you to personally ignite it. The water source is the underground running water, which can be used for drinking or forging. Of course, according to your instructions, after entering the Black Rock Caverns, the water source will be divided according to drinking water and industrial water …"
Sitting across from Tang En was Lola's personal guard captain, Hayley. She was sent to be in charge of the construction of the Black Rock Caverns. At this moment, she was reporting the situation to Tang En while sneaking glances at him, her smooth little feet kept rubbing against Tang En's thighs.
This fellow kept throwing flirtatious glances at Tang En, and after a while, her actions became even more excessive.
"How many people … Oh, dark elves are willing to work here?"
"After hearing the remuneration you gave, there are currently more than two hundred who are willing to work here. However, most of them are men, and I'm afraid the Queen will not agree to let them leave."
Hayley's toes rubbed against Tang En's chest as she pursed her lips and said, "Those men have no time to cultivate, and their magic cultivation is very poor. Queen Lola has decided to change a group of elites, and she herself will come here personally. After all, the current Queen is Her Majesty Rowling, and she has already stepped down …"
Tang En was in a daze for a moment. He suddenly realized that Lola, who had always been in charge, was no longer the Queen. Rowling was the Queen …
"Tsk, let's get down to business. Don't move around!"
"How can you say that I'm moving around? I'm reporting work. "
Hayley pursed her lips and smiled, but it only made things worse.
