"Is Bloxen still at the construction site? Let me go over and have a look." At night, Snorri found that his engineer had not returned yet, so he rode the lamb down the mountain again.
"Why is the shape of this locomotive so different from the ones I've seen before?"
Arriving at the foothills on the other side, Snorri saw the railroad tracks being built. Around the campfire, a large group of dwarves gathered together to study. The exposed front of the car is not the common style with a chimney and a "whining" sound, but perhaps more like a rail turret.
"Didn't I say to use that thing as a power source? This can save some space for defensive firepower. How can such an important thing not be defended?"
Bloxson was very excited to see Snorri coming. He is the most important follower around Snorri, and he has never missed a single battle since he led the escort of the caravan alone.
"My most satisfying work, go in and take a look!"
The master engineer opened the hatch of the locomotive and motioned for Snorri to advance.
"Yes! An excellent combination of rune technology and engineering technology. This is a landmark product."
Snorri touched the set of simple and effective equipment and nodded repeatedly. Using runes to control the energy output of the dimension stone was a wonderful idea. He found that the seal-carving runes were not very advanced, but a flexible use of basic runes.
"Yes, Kalad Stormwalker is a genius, you remember him, the communication rune was also his invention. I invited Kalad to come to the Southland to assist me, but he said he had more fantastic ideas in his mind To achieve it." Bloxon leaned against the door, took off his glasses and wiped them with his sleeves.
"I also look forward to more surprises from him, but the contributions of you, your father, and Master Silverfinger cannot be ignored."
"This is like a dream. Thanks to you, to the ancestor goddess, well, I know, in fact it is to those places." Snorri vaguely saw the tears in Bloxon's eyes.
"Yes, you were not very decent when I saw you at Torrent Pass! It's only been five years now."
Snorri was also a little bit sad. His memory went back to the original Riptide Pass. The reason why Broxon joined his team was because he was exiled for developing warpstone technology, but now he became famous because of the same thing.
"How high can the speed of this thing be?" Snorri asked. He knew that the designed values could not be realized 100% in practice.
"Forty or fifty kilometers per hour, we still know too little about magic stones. The energy difference contained in the unit volume of these things is too big, and it is easy to be dangerous if it goes too fast."
"That's enough. It only takes two days to cross the territory. Counting the stops in the middle, every three days is very suitable." Snorri stroked his beard. As long as this railway is built, the development of the mountains on the edge of the southern world will also progress. Get on the fast track.
"But, are you thinking more than that?" Snorri suddenly turned around and showed a strange smile. He discovered an additional interface on the device.
"Hahaha, it would be too unreasonable to only use such a good material as a power source, isn't it?" Bloxson was stunned for a moment, then smiled back with the same smile.
"Keep it a secret, uh, or rather, how are you going to keep it a secret?" Halfway through his words, Snorri thought of the big mouths of his own people.
"Dumbia." Bloxson said the name of the Pygmy chief.
"Well, finding them to solve the problem is a solution. I am most at ease in Spider Web Mountain. You have enough strength here. If necessary, you can also support Demon Slaughter Castle."
Snorri nodded. Whether or not to promote warpstone weapons depends on whether there is demand and the specifics of the designed items. But there’s nothing wrong with doing research without affecting the overall situation.
Bloxson complied with Snorri's request for a trial run with only the locomotive. He called in the driver, a runesmith from Torrent Pass. While the driver pulled up the gate, he activated the runes that controlled the output.
"Click, click!"
After a brief tremor, the energy of the warp stone was channeled out, and the smooth and rapid movement of the locomotive on the track made the dwarf king overjoyed.
"This thing doesn't have a name yet. It's not appropriate to call it a train if it doesn't burn coal. I think it's good to call it the Fuxing! Work hard. I hope I can save some distance on my return trip!"
"The exploration team found traces of rats, but there were no more harvests. It is hard to imagine that those things have spread to the Southland. I have sent more iron-breaking troops to patrol the earth network!"
In Hongyun Mountain, Johnson's report made Snorri frown. It is true that this place is far away from the magic rats, but the rats have strongholds all over the world. Who knows where they came from.
"Check it, check it hard. I don't need to emphasize their threat!" Snorri paced in the office. Although he had expected it, he was still a little anxious that his territory was really threatened.
"The Nagash Wasteland is one direction, and the badlands are also the same direction. The enemy is clear and we are hidden. Collect intelligence first, don't rush to do it, try to wait for me to come back!" Snorri quickly arranged the task, and the fleet at Haimen Pass was about to arrive. When he arrived, he didn't have time to linger here.
"Why is there such a big fight? Is it because I want to go back?"
The scale of the newly built Kuata Port is significantly different from the previous temporary settlement. According to the game, the difference between one port sequence and three ports. But now this wide dock is filled to the brim with two dreadnoughts.
"Hahaha, the respected Lord of the South, His Majesty Snorri. Yes, but not entirely!"
Prince Panoson of Haimen Pass walked down from the bridge. The silk clothes on his body became more gorgeous. It was obvious that he had taken a sip of soup from the Cathay caravan before.
"There will be a period of safety at the beginning of the new route, but it will not last long. Those pirates smell gold like sharks smell blood, not to mention that this route is so busy. We, the sons of the mountains, plus the Cathay of the East , but those smelly fish and rotten shrimps are so excited!" Panoson complained loudly as he took Snorri's luggage.
"The previous fleet was attacked?" Snorri narrowed his eyes again. Now the sea route is his lifeline, and there is no room for failure.
"We can't call it an attack, it's just harassment at most. They can't determine our strength, so they only use a small group of ships to test us, but we can't help but pay attention to it, right? No one wants to swim back to Haimen Pass."
"You made the right choice to leave early. There is news that several pirate kings are planning a cooperation. This news is not exact, but it is reasonable."
Parnoson shouted loudly on the gangplank to reassure the people who came with the ship, but when he entered the cabin, he whispered in Snorri's ear.
