Juan put down his spoon and took his glass to toast Muradin Copperbeard: "Thank you, Muradine Copperbeard, for your hospitality to my liking. ”

"Ahaha, Your Excellency the Führer is satisfied, if you are satisfied, you can do it, do it."

The two of them clinked glasses, drank the wine together, and showed the empty bottom of the glass to the crowd.

So all kinds of people at the table toasted each other, and you came and went very lively.

The attendant who poured the wine was busy, and he was blamed, "Don't you see that the leader's cup is empty?!" ”

Juan smiled politely at the attendant who came to pour the wine, then turned to Muradin's copperbeard and asked, "Muradin's copperbeard, how many people are here?" ”

"There are no other humans, there are dwarves living here, and there are more than 15,000 of them."

"Oh, aren't there any halflings and elves? Don't you come and go on weekdays? ”

"No, no, we can get along well with other people, but the environment here is harsh, and other races are not very adaptable."

"That's good, we are a big family living in harmony, and we can't engage in racial discrimination and set up a small hill."

"That's, absolutely not, the dwarves are very willing to live in peace with other species under the leadership of humans."

"Then I'll rest assured, saying that the orcs in the north are disobedient and want to attack the elven town, I said, such behavior will never be tolerated, so I plan to give them some color to see."

"These greenskins are too much, they shouldn't be allowed to live in the world."

"But relying on the elf town alone to deal with the orc clan is a little weaker, although it is certain that it can win ......"

Juan said this, pausing deliberately.

Muradin's Copperbeard immediately patted his chest and said, "It's all a family, the elves' business is our dwarf's business, and we will never watch them being bullied by the orcs." ”

"It's good that you have this idea, in fact, some humanoids have proposed that I take an army of androids and kill them directly into the orc territory and kill them all."

Juan saw the embarrassed expression on Muradin's copperbeard face: "If it is a human army, it will naturally win all battles, but if it is a human army, then, that, of course, with the command of the Führer, the victory is certain, that is, the casualties may be relatively large." ”

"I think so too, but if it's human-like, the loss will be greater, so I didn't accept this suggestion."

Muradin Copperbeard was relieved: "Your Excellency the Führer is kind-hearted, heart-warming! ”

Juan said, "But the orc invasion still needs to be taken seriously, so I have another plan."

"I intend to build a defensive line at the pass of the New Kilimanjaro Mountains, and use strong defenses and advanced gunpowder weapons to give the poorly equipped orcs a head-on attack."

"This one is okay, it's a perfect plan."

"My front-line commander, Thorrin, I think you should know, suggested to me that the dwarves should be in charge of building this line, and he said that the dwarves must come to do the civil works."

Juan said, putting his hand on Muradin's shoulder, "Muradin, my brother, what do you think of Thorin's suggestion?" ”

Muradine Copperbeard was a little flattered, his back straightened, and his voice was louder: "Of course, of course, this is a good suggestion, dwarves are good at civil engineering. ”

"Brother, how many dwarves do you think you can send to help build this line?"

"Four thousand, no, six thousand, six thousand dwarves, I will personally lead the team and guarantee the completion of the task!"

Juan looked at Thorin, who nodded to him.

So Juan laughed and patted Muradin's copperbeard on the shoulder: "Good brother, come, let's do it again!" ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"!" "!"

……

The next morning, Juan woke up in the dwarven cave with a headache that he wanted to shoot him directly.

But he gritted his teeth and got up, because according to his itinerary, he was going to visit the most important place in the Dwarven Valley, the melting pot, today.

Morgan brought Juan a hazmat suit: "It's a hot place, and the dwarves can bear it with rough skin and thick flesh, but we humans can't." ”

"How hot is it?"

"It's as hot as a pizza oven."

But the truth is, it's hotter than that.

It is a huge cave that has no artificial lighting and does not require artificial lighting.

Through the shield of his protective suit, Juan watched as the crimson magma flowed out of the magma passage at one end of the cave, like a river, slowly flowing in front of his eyes, and then entering the magma passage at the other end of the cave.

Everything here is shrouded in the red light of magma.

This includes rock walls, stalactites that are dry, and soot and exhaust fumes that are constantly being pumped out by exhaust fans.

These include the dwarves who poured iron ore into the lava and scooped the molten iron out with a red-hot iron spoon.

Then, the buckets "goo-goo-goo" tumbled, and there were yellow flames on the surface from time to time to rise molten iron, which were poured into the mold by the dwarves, and yellow sparks splashed out in all directions, sizzling.

These filled molds were transported out of this cave by the dwarves and cooled down in special caves.

"When they're formed, they're no longer liquids," Muradin's copperbeard exclaimed, "and we'll pour them out, and they'll be pieces of iron."

"These red, still very high temperature iron pieces will be pressed into iron plates, and then divided into strips by heat, they are the most basic blanks.

"After these blanks are cooled, they are repeatedly beaten, heated, and finally quenched with oil, water, or naturally cooled to make iron swords, iron ploughs, or other iron tools."

"Then why don't you just cast it into an iron sword, an iron plow, or whatever you want?"

"No, no, what comes out that way is too poor quality, very brittle, not tough enough.

"We dwarves used to do that, but humans taught us and gave us more advanced technology.

"Compared with the past, the products that are made now are the difference between heaven and earth."

"Humans taught you to do that?"

"Yes, Dr. O, came with the army, and then went with the army.

"A great human being, he taught us a lot.

"We are all grateful to him, and many of the dwarves even worship him."

At this time, Juan saw several dwarves throwing colorless cubic crystals the size of apples into the magma.

Then, from the lava on the side, they fished out the cubic crystals that they had thrown earlier.

Juan noticed that the crystals glowed red and seemed to absorb enough heat.

"What's that doing?"

"Energy! An inexhaustible source of heat energy that is at the heart of our dwarven technology. ”

"Dwarven tech?"

"Yes, under the guidance of Dr. O, we dwarves have created our own technology, amazing technology.

"Ahem, Your Excellency, this is not a good place to talk, please come with me, I will show you, the great invention of our dwarves."
