Every time traveler who has received socialist education with Chinese characteristics will never forget the construction of modern industrialization.
Although you calm down and think about it, this is actually a kind of feudal superstition.
If we had not endured those hundred years of suffering, heard of the torrent of steel of the ancient woolly bear, and had not seen the sensational black technology of the American emperor nicknamed the Bald Eagle, the industrialized scientific system would not be too directly visually shocking.
After all, what you can do with 42 million tons of artillery shells, I can do with one of my magic light piercing cannons.
After all, this is shady Azeroth.
Therefore, when Carlos heard this word, his first reaction was to be confused. His second reaction was to wonder who McNeil Thermaplugg was. Then, he was stunned for a long time before he realized what Ronaldonis said. What is it.
McNeil Thermaplugg, the chief culprit who caused the tragedy of Gnomeregan, is a mechanical life form suspected of possessing high artificial intelligence and a former assistant to the dwarf Gnomeregan mayor.
This machine, which the gnomes are proud of and hate, undoubtedly represents the highest achievement of dwarf technology.
It is the product of the collective wisdom of the gnomes.
But as Ronaldonis was the mechanical structural designer of the great traitor, this achievement alone was enough to illustrate his technical strength.
For such talents, Carlos naturally extended an olive branch without hesitation.
"Your Majesty Carlos, I think you should have heard that proverb, right?"
"What proverb?"
"The enchantment was poor for three years, and the project was ruined for a lifetime. Once I entered the archaeological world, I lost my youth and lost my descendants. If you just want to enjoy it, you can place an order with the master craftsman. We dwarfs have the spirit of contract and will definitely provide the best quality. Service. And if you are recruiting people in such a big way, if you don’t have any special ideas or special needs, then I advise you to do what you can."
Apparently there are also class positions within gnome society. After Ronaldonis showed interest in Carlos, the other dwarfs temporarily stopped contacting Carlos and instead waited to see the outcome of Ronaldonis' conversation.
After changing to a relatively closed environment and adding a few bottles of wine, the atmosphere for conversation was established.
"How to say?"
Carlos filled a glass for Ronaldonis and asked humbly.
"Did you see those steam tanks?"
"Yes, a very powerful war weapon."
"We have not kept any technology secret from our dwarf friends, but they have not been able to build engines so far. All steam tank engines are handmade by us dwarves."
"No wonder, if our dwarf friends can triple the number of steam tanks, the orcs won't be able to block Ironforge at all."
"I give this example just to tell His Majesty that our dwarf engineering is a rigorous discipline, but it is also a bottomless pit for investment. We lost Gnomeregan, and many scientists' experiments were forced to stop. They are willing to follow you I went to Alterac not because of your impassioned words before, but because you seemed so deceitful and like someone who was taken advantage of."
"Forehead……"
Carlos was suddenly speechless.
"I hate myself. Although I know that the fall of Gnomeregan is not my fault alone, or even my fault. But like Mekkatorque, I have fallen into deep self-blame. I desperately hope What can I do to make up for the guilt deep in my heart, so I am willing to talk to you here. So, can you tell me, what do you really want?"
Faced with Ronaldonis' sudden inner confession, Carlos hesitated.
But after taking a few deep, heavy breaths, Carlos decided to tell the truth.
“I want to unlock the kingdom’s potential.”
"ha?"
Ronaldonis didn't quite understand what he heard, and tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
"Protecting the country and building a homeland is not the king's business alone, nor is it the business of the great nobles and lords, but should be the business of all citizens in the kingdom."
Carlos thought, considered, and expressed carefully.
"Yes, you are right."
Ronaldonis nodded. For a dwarf with universal citizenship, this concept is not difficult to understand.
"But top-down reform is extremely difficult. It is better to induce people to gain benefits than to use reason. The war is still going on, and the war is going on. What I hope to get from the dwarf is not just a war machine, but also a war machine. Production machines. Let more people participate in production, technology changes life, and kings lead technology. Although it is somewhat inappropriate to say this, I hope that the conversation between us can be more candid, and I hope you will listen to my next conversation. It can be kept secret afterward.”
"I swear to keep it a secret!"
Ronaldonis stood on the chair, raised his palms and swore, then swept the dust from the soles of his shoes with his sleeves, and sat back down.
"Our elf friends are reliable good friends, but their countries are not so reliable. Magic, humans, gnomes, and our dwarf friends, the entire alliance now relies on the magic of the elves. Yes, we have our own Mage, we have Dalaran, but it is undeniable that in front of the elves, our magic technology is like a child. Without the magic support of the elves, we are not as powerful as we imagined."
Carlos raised his cup and took a sip, moistening his throat and giving the dwarf in front of him time to think.
"Your Majesty Carlos, although Mekkatorque and I ran for public office in Gnomeregan, I think I am still a pure scientist. I regret hearing this."
Ronaldonis touched his forehead with pain on his face and said in a helpless tone.
"late."
Carlos laughed a few times as if joking, then turned his face serious and continued talking.
"The Alliance cannot live without magic, humans cannot live without magic, and so do you dwarves. But the magicians of the Alliance, the human magicians, and the dwarf magicians do not seem to be as reliable as they seem. In this case, substitutes, or Speaking of backup options, it becomes necessary and important.”
"So you like our dwarf technology, huh?"
"That's right."
"But aren't you afraid of creating another one? I mean..."
Carlos interrupted Ronaldonis.
"Please forgive me. In my opinion, the tragedy of Gnomeregan is the combined effect of natural disasters and corruption. It is not terrible. What is terrible is that you did not discover its betrayal in time. With your accident as a warning, I Don’t think there will be a second one.”
Ronaldonis thought for a long time, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are right, meditating on the past is to look forward to the future, and grasping the present is the most important thing. Well, Your Majesty, I am moved, so how are you going to implement your technology introduction plan? People are not a problem, with my connections , you get the talent you want.”
"First of all, I am not prepared to push forward forcefully in the name of the country. As I just said, top-down orders will always go out of shape in the end."
"That……"
"I'll set up a company and you'll be the technical director."
"this……"
"Then I placed an order with this company in the name of the Kingdom of Alterac and collected taxes."
"But this company itself belongs to you?!"
“Eventually, I will promote the product to the entire league.”
"Okay, although I don't quite understand the point here, it's not a big problem. So, what are you going to name this company?"
"Well, I have already thought about it. Let's call it Umbrella Engineering and Construction Group. This will be the company's trademark."
Carlos dipped his finger in the wine glass and then drew a protective umbrella. (To be continued.).
