062 Gnomes & Electricity & Explosions

After a small commotion in the morning, the Salvation Team went up to the ground to find a way to eat.

In the southern part of the floating island, Rosalie has opened up a large growing area, growing greens, tomatoes, potatoes and corn in addition to fairy beans, but now only the greens are harvested.

There are no druids on the main island who are good at tending to plants, and there is no way to speed up the production of crops.

As for why no druids are willing to come, it may be because druids hate gnome machines - the island's alien population now mainly comes in gnome airships, and for most druids letting them into a gnome airship is like a form of torture.

Xiaobai doesn't have any bad feelings towards dwarf machines, she especially likes the automatic tickles made by dwarves, and when she lies on the ground, she likes to scratch her back with tickles.

But Xiaobai doesn't know how to grow plants.

However, Rosalie still makes full use of Xiaobai's abilities, and now there are a large number of birds on the floating island, all of which Xiaobai uses his animal communication skills to "retain" on the island.

As a result, the diet of the inhabitants of the floating island is mainly composed of "fairy beans", green vegetables, and various bird eggs and bird meat.

At least now, no one has been found to have any health problems because of the single nutrient content of the beans.

Rosalie has set up a canteen in the middle of the island, next to the elevator directly from the central control room, so as soon as the elevator door is opened, everyone can see the open fire in the "room".

Members of the vigilante corps, who had just finished their evening shifts, were sitting at an open-air table eating and chatting.

"This bean is so top-notch that I don't have an appetite at all after eating it," said a member of the vigilante corps, "and before you eat beans, you have to eat vegetables and bird meat to supplement your nutrition — what is the mother's nutrition?" ā€

The member of the self-police regiment sitting opposite him shrugged his shoulders: "You don't have to be so clear about what the city lord said, anyway, you just know that there is this thing, and the rest will be done as he says." ā€

The members of the self-police regiment who don't understand nutrition are speechless: "That's right." You don't have to be so clear about the extraterrestrial affairs. ā€

A third member of the Self-Police Corps took a big sip of "Kailin Spirits" and joined the conversation: "My family is okay now, so I moved a bench in front of the houseboat and sat down, knitting a sweater while watching the lightning on the gnome's side, and asked her what aesthetic meaning she could feel, I don't know where she learned the word." ā€

These words were like tinder, which suddenly stimulated the desire of the self-police members to discuss, and everyone joined in:

"Yes, yes, aesthetic significance, what electricity, what magnetism. It seems that the child ran to the place where the lord of the castle gave lessons to the dwarf, and then he came back, and then the old lady also learned. ā€

"The children say that the gnomes are like crazy after the lecture now, and every time after the class, Miss Priest always has to make a few trips to the gnomes for the rest of the day to treat the gnomes who have been injured in the experiments."

"Miss Hondo, I think you want to be a woman and want to get dizzy, call grandma! He is a half-elf, almost five hundred years old. ā€

Wang coughed.

As soon as the members of the self-police regiment who were discussing freely turned around, they immediately stood up and saluted: "Lord of the city! ā€

Oscar was stunned: "It's okay, remember to salute." At least this part of them now has the appearance of an army. It's a pity that it's not neat enough. ā€

One of the members of the group asked Oscar: "Can this really allow us to fight against the regular Catalan army?" ā€

Wang: "Of course, although you are a notch behind the regular Catalan army in terms of training...... Maybe a few grades, but we'll make up for it with gear. Yesterday I had already taught the gnomes how to recharge electrical appliances, and it won't be long before they should be able to hammer out the shock spear. ā€

As if to echo the king's words, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the tower.

Wang scratched his head and sighed: "These dwarfs, I told them, when using oil as an insulator, you must be careful not to short circuit and not overload, otherwise it will explode." They just won't listen. ā€

Because no natural raw material has been found in this plane that can be used to make rubber, there is no rubber. As for plastics, this plane is still in the stage of using crude oil as fuel, and the chemical industry is almost non-existent.

The only way to get good insulation is to use alchemy.

At present, the only thing on the island that can open a furnace for alchemy is the high-quality Shengwang of the Mage Tower, so the insulation material is very, very small.

The insulating material of the gnomes is insulating oil, and the circuits on the dwarf airships are all wires inside, and a ceramic tube is sleeved outside, and the tube is filled with viscous insulating oil.

In the past, the power voltage and electricity that dwarfs could obtain were relatively small, so it was okay to use this way, even if it was short-circuited or overloaded, it generally could not reach the sublimation temperature of the oil.

Now that the floating islands can provide stable and strong voltage, the dwarfs' approach has become very dangerous.

At present, it seems that unless Wang sleeplessly smelts countless furnaces of plastic, the goal of bringing electricity into the homes of ordinary people on the island as daily electricity is basically useless.

The king was complaining that the gnomes were not doing what he had told him, and Atoli hurried over from the church to the east with two squires.

All three of them emitted a glimmer of light, apparently wearing protective lightning spells.

As soon as Atoli saw the king, she began to complain: "Lord of the city, every time we go to the rescue, we have to consume a protective lightning scroll, and the stock here of the church is almost exhausted. Can you give us a copy of some scrolls? ā€

The king continued to scratch his head: "This ...... I'm against the protection system, and I can't copy the scroll of the protection spell. I'll buy some through the gnomes. ā€

Artori nodded, and with the two squire knights, she hurried in the direction of the smoke.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, Rosalie said, "Although we still have a lot of gold coins now, I remind you that we have no money now, and if we continue to consume it, we will run out sooner or later." ā€

Wang: "Uh...... You're right, in...... Is there anything we can sell on Floating Island? ā€

"What do you say?" Rosalie asked rhetorically.

Wang: "No......"

Xiaobai: "It looks like we're going to loot the treasury of some country again." ā€

"We have not looted the treasury of any nation," Wang stressed, "but these countries have volunteered to sponsor the salvation of the world." ā€

Xiaobai: "Then look for state sponsorship." I think the gnomes' home city, Brynden, is good, so let that big thing sponsor it! ā€

"The Great Craftsman's Council." Gaines said.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Well? When did you come over? Xiaobai looked at the bard suspiciously.

Gaines: "I'm coming for dinner." The temple of Kailin only has wine, and you can't be full when you drink alcohol. ā€

Gaines is now largely resident at the Temple of Kailin.

The location of the main shrine was right in the middle of the island, and with the flat terrain of the island, he could see most of the island from the table in the tavern.

If you want to get information on the island, there's no better place than the Temple of Kailin.

The king asked Gaines, "Is there anything on the island that the gnomes would be interested in?" ā€

"That's too much." Gaines spread his hands out, "That's probably it!" But these things can't be exchanged for money. It's time to trade knowledge for money beforehand. ā€

Wang: "I sell this textbook, can I get the money?" ā€

Gaines was shocked: "That will allow the knowledge of the outer plane to spread on a large scale in this plane, won't it violate any of the rules of your mage tower?" ā€

Wang: "No, we don't have any rules at all, we can spread if we want." Anyway, the other brigade mages didn't have a lot of diffusion knowledge, you look at Liguang's tribe, huh? What about Master Liguang? ā€

All members of the Self-Police Corps pointed diagonally behind them.

The king looked up and saw Liguang standing above the head of the "Heavy Defense Unit", in the same position as the sky-facing horse he had first met him.

"He's been standing all night." A member of the Self-Police Corps said, "My children still learn from him." ā€

At this time, the trio of the Lancelot Order who had just run past returned, followed by Poppy and several dwarves.

Wang: "What about the casualties?" ā€

Artori: "There were no dead people this time, so I consumed a few healing spells. Lord of the City, you really have to take care of the gnomes, every morning just after preparing the divine arts, you consume several of them. In the future, if there is an attack and there is no healing technique, won't it be embarrassing? ā€

Wang: "I've already told Rosalie that we need to make stricter rules. ā€

Rosalie: "I'm going to work on the rules today, and after we've discussed them, we've decided to make Gaines the gnome representative. ā€

Poppy was stunned.

Gaines: "How did I, as the poet-in-residence of the Temple of Kailin, become a representative of the gnomes?" ā€

Wang: "Don't shirk it, we have decided that you will be the head of the gnomes." ā€

Gaines glanced at Bobby, "Didn't he do a good job?" ā€

Rosalie: "Well, no one listens to him." ā€

Bobby: "I—I'm trying. ā€

Wang: "What do you have in your hand?" ā€

Bobby then remembered that he was holding something, and introduced it politely: "We completed the electric shock spear you requested, and there was a small problem just now when the discharge experiment was conducted. You...... Inspection, acceptance? ā€
