Chapter 257: Steam Engine

The fusion of Lelouch and Kelgen was naturally transmitted to the entire Middle-earth, and almost all the forces had their own feelings about this situation, and the Terrans were undoubtedly extremely excited, although Kelgen had caused extremely bad damage to the White City, but among the countless humans in the entire Middle-earth, the humans in the White City could only be counted as a small minority, and thanks to Lelouch's previous population migration, although the White City was very badly destroyed, there were not too many human losses.

In the face of the news of Kelgan's alliance with humans, there is no doubt that the most uncomfortable should be Mordor and the dwarves, but in addition to Mordor clearly expressing his anger, the dwarves' attitude is extremely ambiguous, after all, the loss caused by Kelgan to the dwarves is huge, so huge that the dwarves' supreme royal city has even been occupied by the black hand clan, and it has been completely destroyed, and this is the second time that Lelouch has been destroyed in the past few years since he came to Middle-earth, and what is even more terrifying is that unlike the last destruction, this time the black hand even slaughtered the dwarves of the entire dwarf Supreme King City, which is an extremely heavy loss for the dwarves whose population is already a sparse side。

The silence of the dwarves did not get a response from Lelouch, in fact, Lelouch at this time may really be affected by the thinking of the Kelgen dragons, and Lelouch at this time no longer cares so much about the life and death of mortals, well, it can be understood as a 'brutal' transformation, or iron will.

Although the White City has also been seriously damaged, but now the human race is not what it used to be, Leluxiu's government can mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the White City, only less than one night, the next morning the entire White City has become a huge construction site, countless workers are repairing the damaged White City, which is much better than the Dwarves' Supreme King City, the current Dwarves do not even have a large city to live in, although Olaf has issued the highest level of summoning order, but the Dwarves want to assemble again, or reach the scale of the last time, it will take at least three months。

Three months, enough for the black hand to build a powerful defensive fortress with the help of the broken Supreme King City, this fortress may not have much effect on a perverted existence like Kelgan, but it is more than enough to defend against the dwarves, and what worries the dwarves even more is that the Black Hand clan has mastered the dwarven armaments of the entire Supreme King City, in addition to the basic weapons and armor, there are also a large number of artillery, these are the technology that the dwarves obtained from the human race, and then the artillery they made themselves, which was originally intended to be distributed to the various dwarf legions, but now it has all fallen into the hands of the black hand, and now the dwarves can pray, I can only hope that Kelgan will be completely destroyed, and it is better to completely destroy those artillery factories.

To be honest, Lelouch still has some sympathy for the situation of the dwarves, there is no doubt about the tenacity of the dwarves, but the fate of the dwarves is indeed full of tribulations, and it is not easy to see that the hope of revival is just around the corner, but he killed the black hand halfway, not only relying on the help of Kelgan to occupy the supreme city of the dwarves in one fell swoop, but also carried out a major purge of the dwarves' small manpower, and the dwarves' current strength is even weaker than before.

The dwarves did not protest against the Terrans now, that is because they could not do without the resources of the Terrans now, and if Lelouch cut off the trade routes between the two sides that day, then the entire dwarves would face the problem of starvation, and the dwarves only then realized that they seemed to be relying on humans a little too much.

The matter of dwarves and black hands can come to an end for the time being, after Lelouch was successfully promoted to a demigod, the overall work efficiency of the empire has been improved again, and with it, many people have become more blindly obedient to Lelouch's orders, for example, after the immigrants and immigrants in the Central Province, a large number of God-given land humans responded to the call to go to the Central Province, this time the population is as large as one million, these humans who have a fanatical belief in Lelouch will firmly control Lelouch's authority and will in the land of the Central Province。

With sufficient resources and financial resources as the support, Lelouch can carry out the largest construction of the entire central province, it can be said that almost every place where there are human beings in the central province is carrying out all kinds of construction, countless villages, roads, towns and towns are constantly being established, they continue to appear from the ground like mushrooms after a rain, the traces of human activities in the central province are rapidly spreading, and as for the traces of the original centaur, they have been eliminated intentionally or unintentionally.

The Central Province is now almost every day, and people are building a village and then they are starting to build other auxiliary facilities, military barracks, hospitals, schools, government, churches, roads, and a new road is being built on the main road leading from Fort Clarion to the capital of the Central Province, which is different from the road that anyone has seen before, and it does not seem to be for people to walk.

The steam engineer who came to Baicheng guided the whole work, and countless workers used pure manpower methods to build this earth-standard light rail railway, just half a month before Kelgen came to Baicheng, the steam engine finally had a revolutionary breakthrough, and the first generation of steam engines that could be mass-produced and not inefficient was finally developed.

When he learned that the steam engine came out, even Lelouch was excited and jumped slightly on the spot, and the other things that easily made the steam engine gave Lelouch a big blow, because here, Lelouch spent nearly five years before and after, and invested countless manpower and material resources to get this most elementary steam engine, but even if he asked Lelouch to wait for another five years, he was willing, because the steam engine represents the arrival of the era of civilization, and as the first human beings to open this era, there is no doubt that the first existence on this planet to grasp this power, the former empire on which the sun never sets, is the best portrayal of the future of mankind in Middle-earth。

Lelouch was about to inspect these steam engines, but he was delayed because of the matter of Kelgan, and now that he was free, he immediately went to the steam factory, where Lelouch would see the first generation of steam engines in Middle-earth.

The location of the steam factory was established in a castle outside the White City, where there was a feast on the back of the hand, there was a large number of troops, as the most favored department of Lelouch before the establishment of the Academy of Magic Sciences, there is no doubt that there is no less than a strong defensive force in the White Tower, Lelouch rode a horse, followed by the ministers of the empire, escorted by five hundred holy guard knights, outside the castle of the steam factory, at least fifty garrison soldiers guarded the city gate, at this time saw Lelouxiu's arrival, and hurriedly lined up to meet Lelouxiu.

Under the watchful eyes of the garrison soldiers, Lelouch and his party directly crossed the city gate and entered the castle.

If the outside of the castle is still a medieval painting, then entering here, Lelouch has entered the world of steampunk in an instant, countless steam engines are constantly working in it, these are all kinds of steam engines that have been developed in the past five years but are not up to standard, the steam engineers did not waste these extremes, but left them here to work, the blowers moved in all kinds of white mist, and the sound of snorting filled the ears of everyone.

The temperature inside is still relatively high, so almost all the steam engineers here are dressed very simply, wearing goggles on their heads, they are wearing a denim jumpsuit, their chests are open, their arms are **** outside, and they look like modern workers.

"Your Majesty, I welcome you, the three new models of steam engines are ready for His Majesty's review. ”

A person in charge of the interior of the steam factory respectfully prostrated in front of Lelouch, and after he finished speaking, Lelouch rode on his horse and nodded slightly:

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work, lead the way ahead!"

Led by the person in charge, Lelouch came to a clearing, which seemed to be temporarily vacated, because it was surrounded by various industrial parts, and in the middle, from large to small, three machines were arranged:

"Your Majesty, there are three specifications of steam engines here, according to your requirements, the direction and positioning of these three are also different, this is the largest, mainly for the production of super-large factories, he is enough to provide a steady stream of surging power for the entire factory, or used as a power source for some giant machinery, after testing, this power of the steam engine, can provide power for our next thousand-ton stamping machine, under this huge force, we can forge a lighter and more refined, but more powerful steel plate for the empire. ”

What the person in charge said is actually a thousand-ton stamping machine, with this kind of machinery, Lelouch's steel production will be greatly increased again, this time after the promotion, the steel of the empire can not only meet the needs of the army, but also can flow into the civilian population, and the iron or wooden production tools will be greatly improved, which has an irreplaceable role in the production of the entire empire.

Lelouch was still very satisfied with this, and then the person in charge pointed to the second steam engine and said:

"The role of this medium-sized steam engine is mainly used as a conventional steam engine, and it will become the main force of the future industrialization of the empire, and the power source for the entire imperial chariot to roar forward!"

The structure of this steam engine is the simplest, but it is also the most practical, although the power is much worse than the large steam engine, but his cost performance may be the highest, and it is also the easiest to be mass-produced, durable, cheap and large, this is the value and core of this medium-sized steam engine, this steam engine is actually what Lelouch has been waiting for a long time, the scientific and technological needs of the giant steam engine are actually less, after all, the number of large steam engines can be used, the number is very small, so the requirements for the giant steam engine are not high, which is for the designers, there is a lot of space to choose from。

Lelouch has high hopes for this medium-sized steam engine, and after talking about the medium-sized steam engine, the person in charge came to the last steam engine, his size is the smallest, but even if it is the smallest, it is the size of half a locomotive, in fact, the volume of the steam engine is very large, which is why until the appearance of the internal combustion engine, the car will not come out.

"This kind of steam engine is what you ask you to make, his smallest size, although the weakest power, but because of the modular design, his scalability is the highest, he can even be combined with other steam engines of the same type, and can be equipped with a variety of plug-ins, in the first few days of the truck head test, it can be almost perfectly integrated into the entire system, which provides great convenience for the development of our steam locomotive head. ”

The person in charge is now introducing this is a bit similar to the civil steam engine, the factory needs a certain demand for steam engine power, and this small steam engine can be used as a train power source after being combined, and it is possible to install a small steam engine in each town or village to set up some simple mechanical facilities, for example, automatic watering.

Watering is a hard work, and it is difficult to be replaced by power other than human power, which is a bit wasteful for humans, if they can add a steam-powered watering device, then they can easily hand over this kind of thing to the machine to do, which undoubtedly saves humans, so that humans can have an extra week or two weeks of time to do other things every winter, and also ensure that the water in the field is sufficient.

"Good, very good, very good, I see your hard work, everyone here will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins as compensation for your hard work in the past five years!"

Lelouch's words made the steam workers very excited, a hundred gold coins can be said to be a huge amount of money, and to be honest, Amen's usual welfare package is not bad.

After Lelouch happily rewarded them with these things, Lelouch continued:

"Let's go, take me to see the head of your truck, if nothing else, in a few months at most, you will have the first orders, of course, the production of steam engines can be carried out on a large scale now, small and large ones do not need too much, medium-sized ones can be fully produced for me, believe me, you will soon be too busy because of too many orders." ”

After finishing speaking, Lelouch happily walked towards the position of the locomotive of the locomotive, where, it is reasonable to give priority to the production of medium-sized, after all, the demand for large ones is small, and the small ones have not yet been verified, so they dare not promote me in all aspects, only this medium-sized steam engine is the main force in the future.

The high-spirited Lelouch and his party came to the other side of the steam factory, where there are a large number of closed warehouses, where all kinds of steam products are being studied, they may be all kinds of black technology, but now, Lelouch went straight to a warehouse.
