Chapter 575: Pesty's Pride
Boom ——!
A huge explosion resounded in the sky, and the vapor after the high temperature vaporized exploded in the air like white fireworks, followed by one after another screams, which put a depressing end to the failed experiment.
A group of ragged goblins burst out of the room where the explosion had occurred, screaming as they ran, many of them burned or injured, others even intact, with loss written on their faces, like a group of deserters who had just lost a battle.
And their leader, the rat man who walked last, although his face was covered in a gas mask made of leather, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but in his cloudy and yellow eyes, a raging flame was burning.
There is a natural reason for the anger and reluctance of Pesti Scourge.
As the leader of the younger generation of the "Scurry Clan", he has always been proud of his talent for engineering.
Even if no one ever really acknowledges his abilities.
At the time of the "Demon Rat Wasteland", the engineers and warlocks of the clan enshrined the drawings left by their predecessors as a guide, worshipping them like gods, and did not dare to make the slightest change and innovation, only Pesti Scourge dared to explore the unknown territory, although the result was a failure again and again, but he could clearly feel his rapid progress.
However, in the eyes of others, his behavior was like a heresy, and after a plot that nearly killed him at the test site, the Patriarch forbade him from any further engineering research.
For him, this was tantamount to a death sentence, so he chose to flee his hometown with his knowledge and pride.
He vows that one day he will create a weapon more powerful than any war machine now, kill the "Demon Rat Wasteland", and kill all those who framed him and envy him, and until then, he will never take off the mask on his face.
This is a crazy oath, an ordinary nezumi wants to go against the top four clans in the entire Skaven Empire, and working part-time is self-defeating.
So he didn't say anything, the only exception was his own head.
Shi was also a little surprised when he first found out, but he quickly figured it out, in terms of strength, who is stronger than his enemy? Doesn't it seem like you have no chance of winning, so what? It's not about doing it!
As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are grouped.
The other Pesti Scourge is usually silent, and the nezumi has always felt cowardly and cowardly, but he is one of the few exceptions who has blood and ideas, and perhaps it is for this reason that the stone chose him as his hero in the first place.
Because of his irreplaceable ability, coupled with his favorite character, Stone was quite happy with the appearance of Pesti, and trusted him from beginning to end, as long as it was within the scope of his ability, any request was given the green light, whether it was related to scientific research or not, all were satisfied, and even after obtaining the vassal race, he immediately gave him the position of patriarch.
Pesti did not show much excitement or grandiose words about the trust in the stone, but instead it was a new invention, and this was his answer.
It can be said that if it weren't for him, even if the stone had the help of the system, it would not have been possible to build a complete set of engineering systems that are not inferior or even surpass other large tribes in such a short period of time, starting from scratch, so that there are now all kinds of existing or brand-new construction machinery.
Now, with the help of Abu and the goblin technician, the burden on Pesti's shoulders is much lighter.
Although Greenskin's technology is very primitive and unreasonable, under the guidance of the leader, he quickly understood Greenskin's logic, combined with the original mastery of the nezumi engineering technology, and the almost unlimited supply of dimension stones, he overcame several problems that had not been solved in the original clan in the experiment, and while his own strength improved, his understanding of dimension stones also deepened a lot.
But just as Pesti was confident and ready to start further research, the biggest setback after joining the tribe became.
The steam engine technology itself is the top secret of the "Scurry Clan", even he has only seen it but has not learned it, and he is prepared for countless failures, but what he didn't expect is that even if there are drawings taken out by the leader, they can't touch the threshold at all.
It's been more than a month since the first prototype was built, and during this month, Pesti Scourge took Abu and a group of goblin technicians to a new stronghold, Nomorigan, to continue their research at the better "Mad Gopher Lab".
But no matter how they worked overtime, the new sample machine manufactured did not have a breakthrough in essence, but there were several boiler explosion accidents, counting this time just now, it was the fifth time!
Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Pesti, who was extremely firm in his heart, had to wonder if there was something wrong with his research direction.
It's not an option, and although the boss never sets a deadline, and the new lab is sturdy enough and has plenty of materials, a few goblin technicians die every time, and if they go on like this, there's no guarantee that these guys will have any bad intentions.
After staying in the tribe for so long, he can be very clear about the urine sex, and when it is good, he will hold you to the sky, and if there is any trouble, they will definitely be the first to fall into the well.
Sure enough, when the Nezumi Engineer Warlock swept his gaze to the other goblins who had escaped, these usually smiling subordinates all had strange expressions written on their faces, and they squeezed their eyebrows one by one, as if they were mocking Pesti.
This made the anger in his heart a little bigger, but now was not the time to lose his temper, fortunately his deputy, "Goblin Tinkerer" Abu, was a 100% technomaniac, an accident among goblins.
He didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the air at all, and when he saw the nezumi engineer warlock coming out, he immediately rushed forward to discuss the possibility of the explosion accident just now.
In Abu's eyes, Pesti is a man who has mastered all kinds of advanced techniques, and with him, he can create strange and powerful things, which is the only thing he is interested in, and any other intrigue is not attractive at all.
Originally, Stone wanted to keep him on the "Iron Forge" side to manage the arsenal and workshops there, but Abu firmly disagreed, he didn't want to spend time and effort on managing those troublesome goblin boys, he only wanted to focus on research.
Now that the research has encountered problems, except for Pesti, he is the most anxious.
The two of them discussed in a low voice for a long time, but they didn't find out the specific reason, and just as they were about to regroup and start again, the goblin spearmen guarding the "Nomorigan" came to report that the leader was here, and there was an unexpected person with him.
