Wrapped in silver, the four fields are white.

When Green yawned and walked downstairs in the morning, the snow was still blowing outside the window.

The dining table in the living room was already full, and everyone was enjoying a hearty breakfast. Several fairy dragons also have napkins tied around their necks, and they are lying on their stomachs eating grilled fish.

As for Pipsqueak and Furywind, they are probably still sleeping, and since the winter has passed, their larger dragons have become much more sleepy.

Picking up the hot milk on the table and taking a sip, Green had just picked up the newspaper on the table when he saw Anne and Maria, two little Lori, on the other side, secretly squeezing their eyes at him.

Green hurriedly spread out the newspaper and blocked his head.

Sure enough, before he could finish reading the headlines on the front page, he heard Victoria say, "Queen Cersei is not only ruthless, but also ambitious, and this time the Duke of the North is going to King's Landing. ”

"In the game of rights, if you don't win a winner, there is only a dead end, and there is no middle ground. The simple-minded people of the North, who live in a cold and cold land, apparently prefer to use brute force to solve problems, so their tragic end is already predestined. Mary said lightly.

Green knew what they were discussing.

In order to enrich the cultural life of the inhabitants during the boring winter months, Green serialized the fantastical masterpiece "A Song of Ice and Fire" on the last page of the newspaper. Due to the twists and turns of the story, this novel has recently become very popular in the kingdom of Navia.

Victoria and Mary are also lovers of this story, they must read every issue, and they also like to discuss it over breakfast. It's just that Victoria is a staunch wolf fan, while Mary admires Queen Cersei in the story very much.

“...... The only way to keep your subjects loyal is to make sure they are afraid that you are superior to your enemies, and only then will they learn to obey. I think Queen Cersei is the one who can make it to the end. ”

Victoria, who had always been opposed to Mary's remarks, immediately knocked on the plate and said, "I think love is more reliable than fear to keep the people loyal......

"Hehe, cutie, life is no better than a ballad. One day, you may be disappointed. Mary's tone was flat, but it always sounded like a provocation.

Sure enough, Victoria immediately exploded, "Who do you say is the cutie? I am a queen, the queen of the entire kingdom of Navia...... Reality has proven me right. ”

"Anyone who claims that I am a king is not a true king at all. ”

"That'...... too"

Hearing the more the two of them talked, the stronger the smell of gunpowder became, and Green finally couldn't help but explode.

He slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table and said angrily, "Okay!"

Mary turned her head with a cold look in her eyes, and Victoria had an innocent smile on her face.

Green coughed, then pretended to pick up the knife and fork on the table, and whispered, "Uh...... Let's eat steak, everyone! If you don't eat it, it won't taste good if it's cold. ”

Anne squirted milk out of her mouth, and Maria gulped the fried egg in her mouth.

And the eyes of several little fairy dragons were also very strange, and their appearance seemed to say, "Cub, Meow is very disappointed in you." ”

Helen casually stomped Green under the table, then pulled out a tissue and wiped Anne's mouth.

Green tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, stuffed a few mouthfuls of breakfast indiscriminately, drank it all with milk, and then said vaguely, "I'm done!"

Then he got up and walked away.

Let's go.

......

Closing the door and looking up at the goose feathers and snow falling in the sky, Green sighed leisurely, "Harem... It's unstable!"

A bitter cold wind blew, and the cold snowflakes suddenly burrowed into his neck, and Green hurriedly shrank his head, waking up from the sleepiness of the morning.

"Phew, what a harem! I'm a staunch supporter of monogamy. ”

One of the cowards put on his hood and walked forward, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

......

"Mary may seem indifferent, but she is actually very dark-bellied, and Victoria, although mature, is sometimes very childish. These two women can't be provoked, they can't be provoked. ”

“rbq?”

Green muttered as he walked forward, and suddenly saw a yellow figure scurrying beside him.

Pikachu shook the snowflakes off his body and slipped into his arms.

"Xiaolinzi, what are you muttering? RBQ?"

Flesh, you sister! Three black lines suddenly appeared on Green's head.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The outside world is icy and snowy, but to the west of Dragon Wing City, a building built against a mountain is extremely hot.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Green pulled down the valve of the steam engine. The boring tool, like a blunt-tipped iron bar, began to rotate slowly, and soon rose to a steady speed.

"Knife in!" shouted Old Hunter.

A dwarf pushes the sliding base, allowing the cannon embryo attached to it to slowly begin to make contact with the blade head.

For a moment, the fire was splashing, and the cacophony of steel clashing even drowned out the roaring steam engine. Fish oil, which acts as a lubricant, was squeezed into the borehole, and black oil foam and curled wires emerged.

None of the onlookers took a step back, and they looked at the black machine in front of them with burning eyes, as if they really saw the beauty of industry that the leader had once said at this moment.

......

Green took the towel Sam handed him and wiped the oil off his hands, then looked at the rumbling steam engine beside him with satisfaction.

For this moment, he has been preparing for a long time.

The mechanical production of steel cannons may not sound very informative, but in fact there are many difficulties to overcome.

The first is the question of materials. Early artillery was almost entirely cast in copper, not only because it was easy to machine, but also because it did not blow up. However, with the high-carbon steel smelted by the Chewing Dragon, this problem is no longer a problem.

Then there was the steam engine.

Although the smoke dragon can be welded, it is actually a simple glue of two iron plates together. Practical welding is not only about learning to use electrodes, but also about eliminating the stress that occurs when welding.

The welding rod, after Green asked Niber to check the information, still made it. A metal welding core, which is similar to the base metal, is encased in a coating containing ore powder, ferroalloy powder and organic matter. And how to relieve the stress requires the dwarves with skilled blacksmiths to figure it out little by little.

Then there is the manufacture of star wheels, which convert the piston reciprocating motion of the cylinder into rotary motion, and in order to ensure the stability of the speed of the steam engine, a centrifugal governor is also added.

After the production parts were finally assembled, this steam engine was considered the world's first truly qualified power engine.

"Lord Chief!"

Lifting the 12-pounder gun with its barrel bored onto the gun carriage, a scruffy dwarf walked towards Green.

"What's the matter?" said Green in a harmonious voice.

The dwarf in front of him, named Leopold, was the dwarf he valued the most. Not only is he highly skilled, but he also has an easy-going personality, and he doesn't have the stubborn temper of other dwarves at all.

Since he came to Trotaki Island, the skills of the Vikings in the blacksmith shop have not only improved, but also the manufacture of the boring machine in front of him is also inseparable from his great assistance.

"I would like to negotiate cooperation with you!" said the dwarf earnestly.

"Cooperative negotiations?"

Green's face was confused, what the hell is this?

"Three kingdoms of dwarves...... Prince Moria, Prince of Bavaria, and former Prime Minister of Talia. ”

......

The north wind is howling, and the wind and snow are still there.

Looking at the back of the man who disappeared into the night, Green waved his hand to the people in the blacksmith shop and said, "Then I'll go back too!"

Sam nodded, then walked over to Green's side and asked curiously, "What did you just talk to him about?"

"Huh...... In fact, it's nothing, but I just found a reliable ally for us in the future. ”
