Chapter 306: Innovation
The original Royo neighborhood is also the most inconspicuous neighborhood in Ayinro, after all, it is also commonly known as the goblin area and the dwarf area, which is not popular here in this magical country, and even the land price is the lowest.
After all, this is the realm of mages, and the engineering creations of goblins and gnomes are always like noisy and illusory fireworks in the face of mysterious magic, seemingly gorgeous, but in fact they are always not so real.
"Engineering artillery? Goblin explosives? The power is not as great as the three-ring magic, and it is easy to blow yourself up, and the most important thing is that it is very expensive, very heavy, and very unstable. ”
"Goblin harvester armor? A small silver level can be done, and if a large one is a large one, it is sky-high to get an energy source, which can not be mass-produced, and there are doubts about practicality. ”
"A collection of dwarfs' daily necessities? Dude, you're not kidding. Are you going to try the flush toilet that can shoot you into the clouds? Maybe a dwarf sleep hood that can roast your brains? Well, there's also the 'super cool' massage chair (for large people) that is said to make your bones double after use, and forget it, those things are better to commit suicide. ”
For a long time, engineering creations were regarded as unreliable, in addition to the fact that the various behaviors of goblins and gnomes who are good at these are indeed unreliable, and more importantly, there are technical limitations.
"If there is no stable energy supply, how can there be stable engineering equipment."
Take the common sense from another world as an example, a car that is randomly selected from the first gear to the 100th gear output at once when you step on the accelerator slightly cannot be sold, and a hair dryer and microwave oven with a voltage jumping to tens of thousands of volts at any time. It was nothing short of a live bomb.
And the energy power of the gnomes and goblins in this world is too rough, or the fire power of flammable products such as fuel is added. The controllability is extremely low, or it is to obtain rare strange things and minerals with a certain amount of energy from the monsters. That is super money-burning, after all, their energy conversion rate is extremely low, not to mention, once it is stimulated, it is difficult to control, and the development of energy is a mess.
It's not that goblins and gnomes don't care about energy sources, but that each naturally created and anciently left energy source is different from the principle to the activation method, and can only be studied as an individual one by one.
Even the energy supply mechanism and the capability engine cannot be mass-produced, and the engineering creation naturally cannot be mass-produced. There is no basic stability to speak of.
And goblins and gnomes are not satisfied with such limitations, and the way goblin engineering responds is also a typical goblin idea or goblin style full of self-defeat.
"Since we don't know when it's going to explode, let's just make a bomb with the goal of exploding."
All of them have all kinds of goblin mines, and over time they even mix the purpose and the way to pursue the purpose, and it has become a strange worldview with more powerful explosions as the glory. ”
"Since you can't limit the output of the stable dìng, let's try to draw out the highest output, so there is the deadly goblin rocket car and the liftoff rocket"
Thanks to the dwarfs inventing the parachute, at least the pilots had the possibility to return to the surface in their entirety, but the Goblin Rocket Car Contest became the most popular race in its race. It's very puzzling.
"Danger? What is that? Call him unpredictable passion! ”
It's a very goblin style answer, and if the background is not an explosion, the death list of the car every year is above three digits, which may be more convincing.
And the gnomes have a much more normal way of thinking. At least they were trying to make up for the shortcomings of the current technology, and in the process they invented the gear set, trying to pass it to transmit torque, change the speed and change the direction of the torque. The transmission of controlled power is an attempt to make the uncontrollable power source controllable.
And it is also the use of pygmy gear sets and transmitters. Let them far surpass the goblin in the level of engineering creations such as mecha and vehicles, and the refinement of mechanical creations is also much higher.
For goblins, after all. All the "squeaky big men" are consumables that bring "passion and explosions", and how can they delve into it, but in things like rocket cars, in all kinds of dangerous creations related to explosions and speeds, goblins far surpass gnomes.
However, under the existing technical conditions, the use of immature gear sets to control the power source that is completely incalculable, which is like using the oars of a small boat to control the heavy ironclad ship, is completely unreliable and not mentioned, even if it succeeds by chance, the cost of the investment far exceeds the income, and it is still impossible to mass production.
But the worst thing is that the technology is not yet mature, but the gnomes believe that "as long as you use it more, you will definitely succeed", and create a large number of "killing" daily utensils with the goal of practicalization, and as a result, whether it is a goblin engineer or a dwarf engineer, it has become synonymous with untrustworthy and uneconomical.
However, as far as I am concerned, I think that the way of the gnomes is slightly more reliable than the goblins, if they are given another two or three thousand years, and at the same time find other power sources by chance, maybe they can really research a technology similar to the steam civilization, but at the moment when they are about to face the catastrophe, this is obviously impossible.
In fact, if the two factions cooperate, maybe there will be any leapfrog development, but peers are enemies, scientists are persistent, and researchers who have no way through each other regard each other as competitors and hostiles, and it is a matter of course that differences in research routes have become life attacks, and the relationship between goblins and gnomes has never been good.
And only in a place like Brimstone Mountain City can it be possible for the two opposing factions to put aside their prejudices and cooperate with each other, and finally have a strange creation like Roland Titan, and even in a place like Brimstone Mountain City, there is no shortage of quarrels and struggles between the two sides, and only in prison as prisoners can a short-term agreement be reached.
But now, with Olivia's box, and a stable source of energy, engineers can also put aside their preconceptions and disagreements and focus on more important developments.
"Every change in power represents a new industrial revolution. And this time, Olivia's box may be the world's first industrial revolution. ”
The core of Olivia's box is the miracle alchemist Olivia's energy-saving circular magic array. But what makes it work steadily is the work of the master engineers led by Dimiret. And the latest version of "Olivia's Box 8.1" has even surpassed the peak of "history" in all aspects, and there has been a blowout development of various engineering creations.
Among them are not only the efforts of goblins and dwarf engineers such as Golden Tooth and Milhouse. The information submitted by Dimiret contains the mystery and knowledge from the ancient relics, which is a miracle creation that came into being, and if it were not for the near-hopeless crisis, I am afraid that Dimiret in the "history" of the last member of the ancient relics would not have handed over his treasures.
And now the Royo neighborhood, after a series of mergers and acquisitions and recruitment, has become the exclusive area of the Big Industrial Party.
Well, mergers and acquisitions are to buy his entire store, and then his employees will naturally become ours. Then I pushed the store to make a factory, although the cost is not small, but I have earned a lot recently, plus the savings, there is not much pressure.
There are not a few goblins, dwarf engineers, and dwarven craftsmen who seek a living in the country of mages, but in the past, the hottest business here was obviously forging and striking iron, alchemy and enchanting, and forging and engineering were not separated, and there was a shortage of people. Alchemist: I'm also welcome.
And for goblins and gnomes, engineering is their daily life, and even the geomechanization master has a lot of attainments in engineering, and there is no pressure to work for a high-tech archmage. No, it should be said that the two groups, who are extremely sensitive to the changes of the new era and new technological innovation, have gone crazy about the technology I have shown.
The one that infuriates them the most. But this historical invention is not the creation of one's own race. They were all holding their breath.
Even, when I threw out the Garden of Thorns to recruit engineers, alchemists. When a ten-year long-term employment contract was offered, many top dwarf enchantment masters, dwarven alchemists took the initiative to take refuge, and even an epic archmage Cromwell in the creation of puppets of the dwarf clan came. Mana Storm, with his apprentice-level engineering certificate, came to apply pitifully.
"Actually, I've always wanted to be an engineer Hey, don't go, I can help you work while researching new technologies, don't you want to see the combination of rune puppets and engineering!? That's definitely the scariest and cutest little thing ever! ”
The dwarf archmage's shrill voice echoed through the room, and the dangerous waves of bright purple mana caused a roar, and I doubted that if I rejected him, he would just take out the room.
"Okay, after signing this ten-year long contract, you are also Roland's person, don't look at it, you trust me too much."
"Hehe, as long as I am given that technology, I can pay all my property, and I have only been working for ten years, which is a small meaning. Besides, I've learned from my people what you've done, and I'm looking forward to serving you. ”
The white-bearded little old man smiled very proudly, as if it was our side that signed the deed of sale, and this is not the first archmage to show goodwill to me, but it is a little surprising that most of the people who come into contact with me at this time are not human archmages.
With enough people, enough money, enough technology, and the construction of the farm is fast, the Royo neighborhood has become my territory.
Of course, the side effect is that it will be difficult for other mages to find these foreign services, they can only go to human craftsmen and alchemists, and if the action is too big, it will naturally attract hostile eyes, but how can I care.
"What's next? The Interstellar Gunner and Sith Samurai Mechs should be ready to go on sale. By the way, it's time to speed things up, and each one must come with 10 Justice Points before you can sell it. It may not be much, but at least it will force them to find a way to get it. ”――
But sometimes, things don't go so smoothly.
"I'm sorry about that, but I'm afraid we won't have the money to buy and manufacture so many production lines at the same time."
"How is that possible? The Garden of Thorns is quite profitable. Property procurement is also expected, how can there be no money? Did you miscalculate? ”
"You have signed a ten-year contract with so many engineering masters and archmages, and the settling-in allowance and the down payment are not a small amount. It's over budget! Moreover, my lord, you have four research projects at once, especially that Roland Seven, which burns money every day is outrageous. Opinions from everyone in the finance department, you better stop part of the research plan. ”
Looking at the little accountant who was pushed out in front of me to give a pot to his colleagues, with a submissive face, I didn't know what to say, although I could still find a way to dispatch funds from other places, but the progress would definitely slow down, I hesitated for a moment, and finally came up with a crooked idea, get some money first.
"Why don't we get some crooked doors?"
After I told me about my plan, the scene cooled down for a while.
"It's said that robbery and fraud will lose the power of the law, right? You are"
Hearing this, I smiled proudly.
"Hmph, we're not robbing and fraud, that unskilled job, we earn more and earn faster?" (To be continued......)
