Inside Ironforge, the dwarf Grand Duke Somolai is sitting in his place, tasting the best vodka from Ironforge's No. 3 distillery.

The rich aroma of the wine, or rather the high alcohol content, was a pleasure for the dwarf who loved fine wine.

This is the third brewery in Ironforge, and it's unimaginably large.

Every week, Ironforge produces 300,000 tons of liquor and malt liquor of various degrees, and what is even more terrifying is that there is almost no record of export sales, and the civilians here alone can wipe out these liquors cleanly.

Every day is a wine festival, which is a tourist advertisement for Ironforge Castle. In addition to the development of industry, which is no longer subject to any constraints, the tourism industry of Ironforge has also flourished.

Unlike other cities, the underground is full of magnificent buildings, and after using the Shield Machine to dig underground tunnels, the Dwarves have developed their homes underground to the extreme.

Everyone who comes here feels the hospitality of the dwarves and the exoticism of the place!

Just a casual conversation with a dwarf will invite you to the tavern for a drink. It's almost free, because the dwarves never let the guests pay for the treats, and they also have the capital to pay the bills.

Almost all dwarves are artisans, and even if they don't go to work in a factory, they can make some handmade objects to make money. Therefore, these dwarves are very wealthy, and many of them can even save a lot of wealth in a very short period of time.

The name Bellevi has gradually been forgotten, and now the largest city in the Holy Demon Region is Ludner, and the second largest city is the Ironforge Fortress rebuilt by the dwarves.

"Your Highness! Yesterday we started production with two more plants. The production is a large engineering vehicle powered by magic. Orders have already been placed for 32 mines, and more than 100 of the new ore mining vehicles are expected to be produced. Elder Morakot walked into the room, smelled a room full of wine, and spoke in a softer voice.

He was not polite, and walked straight to the table of the Grand Duke of Sumolai, poured himself a full glass, and then drank it all, and let out a comfortable moan: "Ah! It's really good wine! It is an incredible thing that the human brewing process is even more advanced than that of our dwarf race. ”

"I even think that in addition to the elven wines, the various drinks here include almost all the genres in this world. Each one is delicious and all are good! "Sumolai has been drinking all morning, and he is still very conscious.

It's just that the tip of his nose is red, which is the fault of dwarves who have drunk wine. But no matter how much alcohol they drink, these dwarves just don't get drunk, which is also a very strange thing.

"Yes, we spend almost the highest amount of money on alcohol in the country." Elder Morakot smiled and nodded as he said, "Everything is going well, the empire has countless grains to use to make wine, and our days have never been so rich. ”

"yes, have you heard about what is happening to us dwarves right now? I lived to be 1100 years old...... Never seen anything like it. The Grand Duke of Sumolais was so excited that he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all.

"yes, never." Morakot nodded again and agreed, "We've never been like we are today...... Bask in the sun of freedom. ”

They are allowed to build a lot of machinery and are not considered heretics by others. They can be indifferent to anything and honestly express their love for machinery.

What excites them is that alcohol is available freely and in unlimited quantities in this country. They could drink in the open and sing and dance where the fire in the center of the earth was lit.

In the sky above Ironforge Castle, the eagle flag is flying! Every day, large machinery is made here, every day a train full of supplies enters the Ironforge Fort, and countless trains full of goods leave here.

Dwarven soldiers no longer have to charge into battle, as long as they don't want to join the army, they can work and live at home in peace—something that the dwarves of the past would never have dared to think of.

Something that has never happened before! This is something that dwarves never dared to imagine. Today's dwarf population is close to two million, and the number of newborns accounts for one-third of them! Reliable medical care combined with stable living conditions has led to a rapid expansion of the dwarven population.

The population is larger, but the number of people in the army is reduced. Today, the dwarves have only 20,000 volunteers fighting on the front lines, all of whom have volunteered to join the Irranhill army, and they are treated like all citizens of Irranhill, but the death rate is very low.

So far, only 41 dwarven soldiers have been killed on the front lines, and more than 300 have been wounded. That's a really low percentage. The dwarves didn't even take that number seriously, and they were preparing to send another 10,000 warriors to the front.

Because all the wounded and killed soldiers were compensated by Ran Hill, which had never been done in a war in which the dwarves had fought before. They thought it was their duty to fight for the country, but the country thought it was time to relieve the brave soldiers of all the troubles.

The dwarves can now produce a variety of industrial products, and even some advanced enterprises have begun to use computers to manage industrial production.

The huge boiler is next to sophisticated electronic instruments, and the dwarves have been given a new lease of life in this environment.

For dwarves, being able to go to the front when they are willing to fight for their country, being able to specialize in machinery when they are willing to fight for their ideals, having endless wine when they are having leisure and entertainment, and hearing the roar of machinery intertwined every day - this is freedom.

"We built the four giant floating transports from No. 14 to No. 17, and now No. 14 has been put into service...... Ninety percent of the 15th is complete, and the rest are more than seventy percent complete. The two sighed for a while, and Morakot finally brought the topic back to work: "Your Highness, can we apply and start researching space technology?" ”

"I've already sent the application report, do you think I'm just drinking? Hiccup......" After a wine burp, Sumolai rubbed his stomach and said, "It's just that we don't have qualifications in space technology, and the space agency doesn't allow us to build our own rockets." ”

"I don't think they're interested in our Super Rocket program!" Morakot said regretfully: "They prefer to launch spacecraft in a mode that combines cheap floating technology with rocket technology, and our giant rockets cannot be compared with floating technology in terms of carrying capacity in a short period of time." ”

"But we all know that the development of advanced technology is inevitable." Su Molai rubbed the tip of his red nose with his hand: "Those short-sighted guys from the space agency have affected His Majesty's judgment!" ”

"Yes! The propulsion engine will definitely have more room for development in the future! We're going to the moon...... Or to the sun...... Bigger propulsion engines will definitely be needed. Morakot nodded.

As they spoke, a huge, ninety-percent completed floating transport ship was rising above Ironforge.

Its size can really be described as huge, this behemoth is capable of transporting the combat equipment and entire combat personnel of two divisions in one go.

Its capacity is only slightly less than the combined capacity of the entire Arrant Empire six years ago. Even more proud is that this huge flying machine uses very little energy.

More than ninety percent of the finished transport ship has already accumulated tens of thousands of tons of supplies on board, and just waiting for this transport ship to complete and set sail, these materials can be transported to distant Greken.

Most of the supplies on Transport 15 were destined for the 9th Army, with brand-new production T-72 tanks, neatly lined up M109 self-propelled howitzers, anti-aircraft missile launchers, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, countless individual automatic weapons, and mountains of ammunition.

This is the crystallization of dwarven technology, and it is also a demonstration of their strong industrial prowess, and now many large-scale projects, Elanhill has been handed over to Ironforge to produce and build, because these dwarves are so suitable for these things.

On the contrary, the more advanced core area of Irlanhill, including the former machinery factories in Naru, Bude and other cities, has been transformed into a fully automated robot production center.

Most of Seris' factories are now fully automated. The main products produced have also been transformed into electronic equipment and high-precision equipment.

As for the original, more rugged products, they began to gradually move to the new occupied territories. Veronza, as well as Higgs, and even the first to occupy the area of the Holy Demons, are moving towards heavy industry.

Because in these places, including the endless sea, new oil fields and iron ore have been discovered, and these natural resources can support the rise of these new heavy industry bases nearby.

"Next month, we will produce 40 locomotives, 170 carriages, and 30,000 high-standard railroad tracks...... "Morakot proudly raised his glass: "Within half a year, we can have every dwarf family have their own full set of household appliances!" Ironforge will be integrated into the Imperial Power Grid and become a city that never sleeps in the truest sense of the word! ”

"O Elder God...... What our ancestors have been pursuing has been fulfilled in my hands...... It really gives me a sense of unreality. Did I do anything? Su Molai took a big sip of wine and said with emotion.

Morakot demolished his old friend: "We just lost a battle and fled here...... Join Iran Hill and you've got everything. ”

"Then ...... Long live Iran Hill! Sumolai laughed.

"That's right, long live Iran Hill!" Morakot poured himself a glass of fine wine, took it and drank it down, wiped the spilled wine from his beard with his hand, and cheered loudly.
