Bruno's words are like a light in the darkness, allowing Duke to see the light of hope. This kid actually studied the steam engine, which is definitely an epoch-making thing, it seems that he rescued these scientific pioneers in the first place, and people with forward-looking vision are elites in any era.

"Bruno, I'm giving you special permission to call on all the resources you think you're using in Stormcastle and get me the hydro transmission. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Bruno also excitedly agreed, after all, he had been Copernicus's assistant before, and now he can finally show his value on his own.

Watching Bruno leave, Duke set his sights on Galileo, a scholar in the world, who has a lot of questions about goblin technology, and wants to get answers from him, maybe it can really trigger a steam revolution for humans in this world!

"Galileo, how much do you know about goblin technology?"

"I don't know much about it, but when I was teaching at the University of Padua, I saw a lot of information about goblins. ”

"Where else is this information, I want to know more about goblins, and even other races. ”

Duke showed a desire to learn, because he felt that he was still stuck in a fixed mind, and liked to apply everything on the earth to this world, just like Duke knew magic before, but he still didn't understand and value magic, and he didn't make good use of it, so that Stormcastle was almost in danger.

The same is true of hydraulic machinery, Duke has no concept of other races in his mind, only wants to use the existing technology of mankind to develop. It's just that Duke is not God, and it is simply impossible to simply leapfrog the countless scientific giants of mankind and take hundreds of years to germinate the industrial revolution.

Now the emergence of technology of other races has opened the door to a new world for Duke, these races have never been seen in the history of the earth, but science and technology are regardless of race, it only represents productivity and efficiency. Duke didn't care if the other party was a dwarf or an orc, so Duke wanted to know more about it.

Faced with Duke's question, Galileo thought for a moment, and then replied: "This kind of material should only be available in the libraries of the Grand Duchy or the pro-kingdom except for the imperial capital, and it should be difficult to borrow it without a relationship. Your lord, why don't you ask Duke Otto for help?"

Duke fell into thought, although Duke Otto is his nominal father, but in fact, the reborn Duke has no concept, even if it is the memory of Duke before, he is very indifferent to Duke Otto's feelings.

Because the big family is like this, although the European Middle Ages was not a strict primogeniture system, it was also a system of succession. Duke, the third son, was originally in the back of the throne, and there were two more dazzling brothers on it, especially the eldest brother and the title of genius, which was simply a dazzling new star.

Duke himself did not grow up, and was sent to the imperial capital to educate since he was a child, and as a result, he became a well-known gentleman. Think about this kind of rich straw bag boy, and he is not by his father's side all the year round and has no emotional connection, it is strange that the two of them have a deep relationship. In addition to the dazzling aura of the Otto family, Duke really doesn't have much contact with Duke Otto.

"Galileo, you go down first. By the way, find a way to mass-produce the telescope you invented, which will become an important military material. ”

"Yes, my lord. After Galileo said a word, he also respectfully withdrew.

Looking at Galileo's back, Duke fell into a contradiction, except for Duke Otto, a cheap father, only the Andorran kingdom to which he belonged could get the information. But the problem is that in the eyes of outsiders, he is a person in the prince's lineage, and it would be good if the Prince of Andorra did not make a stumbling block for himself, and he would help himself? After all, everyone wants to sit on the supreme throne.

Having said that, Storm Castle is so isolated and helpless in winter, and it has nothing to do with the Prince of Andorra, after all, the person recommended by the prince is to help the prince if Duke has something to do. Even the alpine city dares to deduct the price of porcelain so unscrupulously, and it is related to the Prince of Andorra behind his back, so there is no need to think about this aspect.

As for the imperial capital, it's still okay, after all, with Princess Jina here, how can that little girl help herself with this, right? It's just that the traffic in this world is really not very good, if it weren't for the special military stagecoach, it would take half a month to go back and forth from the imperial capital, which is also a troublesome thing.

After hesitating for a moment, Duke finally chose to write a letter to Princess Gina and ask her to help him. Maybe in Duke's heart, at least this little girl is far closer than the others. Anyway, Duke didn't think that he would enter the steam age overnight, and if he could get the hydraulic machinery done, he would have crushed the current productivity.

In addition to the transmission, Duke also had to make a key thing, and that was the crank rocker, which was used with the transmission. At the end of the Middle Ages, European hydraulic applications crushed ancient China, relying on these two things, because ancient China used gravity hammers more.

Duke is much more familiar with this thing, because the most common application of crank rockers is on sewing machines. When he was a child, Duke often played with nothing to do, so he also remembered how to turn it. Think about the needle speed of the sewing machine at that time, and replace it with the scene where the hammer smashes into the iron embryo or steel billet, how many times does this have to crush the human hammer forging?

For the design of the gear set and transmission drawings, Duke stayed up late at night in the study to draw a rough model. During this period, Sophia came to the study several times to persuade Duke to rest early, as a maid, she now admired Duke's efforts, and had never seen a lord who worked so hard as Duke.

Fortunately, Duke had a solid foundation in engineering drawings before, otherwise this set of drawings would not have been drawn. Seeing that it was late at night, Duke stretched his waist, moved his stiff neck, and leaned back on the back chair tiredly.

Others are all kinds of artifacts, easy to rise to the king and hegemony, hanging all kinds of disobedience! How can I cross by myself is more tired than being a brick dog before, known as the duke's son, but the result is a self-made poor clank, and the territory is still extremely dangerous, it is simply unfair!

Just when Duke felt extremely sad, a coquettish and seductive female voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "I didn't expect that the third son of Otto, who is known as a straw bag in the imperial capital, is so dedicated in Storm Castle, little Duke, you really make me curious." ”
