055 Steam Technology
Solving the matter of Castle is considered to solve one of the biggest internal threats to Storm Castle at the moment, but Castle Storm Church is not only a bishop of Castle, but also some priests or something.
It's just that the rare advantages of a dangerous place like Storm Castle are also shown, that is, the size of the church is much smaller than that of other ordinary castles, and the people who can be assigned to Storm Castle as clergy are all people who are not valued by the Holy See, and it is relatively easy to win them over.
When he thought of this, Duke couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he came to this Storm Castle as a lord, to put it bluntly, he was just an outcast, or everyone in Storm Castle was like this. It's just that Duke doesn't understand a little, why did he choose him?
Because as the lord of a city, even if he chooses to take the blame, it is impossible to choose a small role casually, so he cannot convince the public. Theoretically, he didn't have this value at all, but he surprisingly served as the Lord of Storm Castle, saying that he didn't know what was hidden behind it.
The "gentleman" who only blames himself for being reborn is too hasty, and he has no memory of everything behind it, and he doesn't even know who sold it, so Duke doesn't have a clue.
However, what to do with these priests is Kasmai's own business, and if he can't even handle it, then he won't be able to show his worth. Duke wanted a propaganda officer on a par with the Holy See's brainwashing capabilities, not a useless waste.
Back in the castle, Duke had time to read the books sent by Princess Gena, and also had a preliminary understanding of the other races on this continent.
The five main races on the continent of Europa, in addition to humans, other races also have very glorious civilizations. For example, the beast totem, the elven temple, the dwarf technology, etc., even the most mysterious sea tribe has the ancient civilization of Atlantis.
Duke's most concerned about dwarven technology is far beyond his previous imagination, if you convert it carefully, dwarven technology has basically reached the level of the first scientific and technological revolution on earth, that is, the steam engine began to be widely used. Even the dwarves combined the steam engine with the magic crystal, which surpassed the early steam engine system on Earth in terms of practicality.
Another thing that Duke didn't expect before was that he saw dwarven technology and specialized musketeers and magical "anti-aircraft artillery", and their use of thermal weapons also reached the level of the late Middle Ages on Earth.
However, unlike the development of various applications after the scientific and technological revolution on the earth, dwarf technology is only under the threat of war, and the rapid development of weapons is almost a stage of stagnation in civilian use. Even the most famous dwarven craftsmen are still in the stage of artificial forging, and they have not used the steam engine.
To put it more simply, dwarven technology has very serious shortcomings, only a few cutting-edge technology applications, and the rest are at the same level as medieval humans, so they have not produced the qualitative effect of the industrial revolution, and the productivity is still at a very low stage.
As a result, other races have the same idea as humans, and they don't pay attention to dwarven technology at all. Because these so-called steam engines and musketeers are simply beaten in the face of the power of orcs and the magic of humans and elves, most of the dwarven races live in harsh environments such as underground and caverns.
Imagine how it is possible for the strong to learn from the weak? Naturally, no one looks down on dwarf technology, so Duke has no memory of this before.
When he saw this, Duke simply sighed, if the application of dwarf technology in the steam engine could be more extensive, maybe it would be able to cause a qualitative change and achieve the effect of the industrial revolution. This is like when the Chinese invented gunpowder, but in the use of gunpowder, there was no qualitative breakthrough, and even the gunpowder itself did not develop, it was still a black powder with insufficient power, and it was finally left far behind.
However, the Dwarven Musketeers still caught Duke's attention, and the information stated that the Dwarven Musketeers should use the most primitive front-loading arquebus, and if they can be developed into flintlock pistols, or even more future breech guns, then the firearm will show its true power.
Duke believes that the use of firearms from the Second World War, even the development of rifles such as Enfield and Mosin Nagant in World War I will have a crushing effect on the average soldier in this world. Even at the level of the Grand Magistor Gandalf, he can 100% evade the fixed-point sniping of rifled rifles?
If there are any heavy artillery, tanks, etc., it is time for magic to completely decline, after all, it takes far more time and energy to train a magician than to train an artilleryman and tank driver. It's like the musketeers on Earth eventually eliminated the archers, it's not that the early muskets were better than the bows.
In fact, on the contrary, the early bow and crossbow were no worse than the front-loading arquebus in terms of range and power. But it can take years to train a good archer, and it depends on the talent. And to train a musketeer, it only takes about a month, and you can go to the battlefield in a short period of ten days, which is not an efficiency level at all, so the elimination of bows and arrows is inevitable.
It seems that if you want to find a way to find the dwarves in this world, it is best to be the most technologically advanced goblin in the dwarf race, so that you can truly achieve a technological leap forward and enter the steam age of the first industrial revolution of mankind.
Otherwise, Duke is not a god, the steam engine is much more complex than the hydraulic machine, and it is really unrealistic to want to rely on one person to make it casually. And there is no way to relay Galileo and these scientific pioneers, because they don't know either. Unless it's looking for the legendary Watt who improved the steam engine, it's no fun.
Duke had probably flipped through the books inside, and after getting a general idea of the other races, he was going to put the wooden box aside. However, at this time, he suddenly saw a note at the bottom of the box, and the handwriting on it indicated that it was also written by Princess Jina.
"Duke, if you can see this, it means that the affairs of Kasmai should be dealt with, and then you can ensure the safety of coming to the capital. ”
"There are still three months to go, and it will be the enrollment day of the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, and I have already contacted my teacher, the Great Sword Master of Moore, as long as you can reach the strength of a mid-level swordsman, he will make an exception to recruit you as a student. Remember, it is the strength of a mid-level swordsman who has really reached it, and your trick of deceiving the exam cannot fool the great swordsman. ”
"I hope you can come to the capital to study, after all, this princess has worked with a straw bag, it's really embarrassing, and I don't want those gentlemen in the empire to still laugh at you, they are not as good as your straw bag!
