Chapter 24: Magic on the Left, Technology on the Right, I'll Go in the Middle
In the restaurant, there is a staggered list.
"Big brother, this time it's really thanks to you!"
Brian laughed and raised his glass, "If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would have been before I could get my drink!" For precious freedom, for a delicious ale, we toast! ”
The corners of Donne's mouth twitched, and he touched the glass, and before he could drink it in his mouth, he saw Brian grunt and drink all the ale in the glass, and then he picked up the barrel next to him and filled it again, raised the glass and touched it with Donn.
"Alas, big brother, do you know that I felt that the two of us had a special fate from the first time I saw you, I just saw you and knew that you were definitely not an ordinary human being, and now look, you are actually a lord! - For the lord's sake, for Ellington's sake! I'll have another drink! ”
Brian looked up and went down with another glass of wine.
…… He definitely did it on purpose.
Don felt that Brian was talking nonsense and that drinking to his heart's content was his real purpose.
"Alas, big brother, you don't know, we are there, because the grain production is average, and some small tribes are sometimes hungry, so there is not much grain that can be used to make wine......"
"Then I won't make wine."
"How can you not make wine!"
Brian's eyes widened suddenly: "I'd rather be hungry for a day than go without wine for a day!" ”
"Then how did you survive without alcohol these days when you were arrested?"
Don gave him a blank look, to put it simply, these dwarves are still not hungry - then again, since they are the children created by the earth goddess Nice Claire, when they are too hungry to die, it is estimated that the goddess will also take action, right?
It's cool to have a golden thigh hug......
Don thought about it while drinking with Brian, if you really want to talk about it, Ellington's food production is not high now, and there is not much to use to make wine, but when Hogg's influence gradually wears off, Ellington's situation will gradually get better.
In fact, Tang En felt very strange, because the magic of this world was not popularized to civilians, but like the military technology in the previous life, it was basically isolated from ordinary people.
If magic can be popularized, it will definitely be able to liberate a lot of productive forces, and the world will be more vibrant!
In Donn's view, magic is a very special power, which can easily achieve many phenomena that cannot be achieved on earth, and most importantly, magic can be used as a clean and pollution-free power source!
On Earth, the principle of the internal combustion engine is to intermittently ignite atomized gasoline in the middle of a sealed combustion chamber, thereby triggering a small explosion to expand the air, further pushing the piston to drive the engine to run, seems complicated? In fact, it can be explained in one sentence, the combustion heating causes the air to expand and do mechanical work.
And can this principle be achieved with magic? Absolutely!
It could even be better!
Because magic can do zero pollution!
This is also what Don is most excited about, many things that have been in his previous life, after being combined with magic, what kind of amazing charm will be born?
He didn't know, but he wanted to know.
So he was already planning how to combine earth technology with Plaindal's magic, and if magic could be used instead of electricity and internal combustion engines as power, many machines on Earth could be transplanted here.
When the time comes, a turbulent wave will inevitably be set off and the agricultural productive forces will be completely liberated.
Just look at the history of the countries on the planet to see how important the liberation of agricultural productivity is for the development and progress of society.
It's just that if he wants to get those things out, Don still faces a very serious problem.
Materials and processing technology are not up to the mark.
There are many special magic metals in this world, all kinds of properties are very superior, but they are very precious and rare, so it is better to count on using magic metals to forge finished products.
What really works is to use ordinary metals to refine various alloys, or add a small amount of magic metals.
Thinking of this, Donn's eyes fell on Brian, who was drinking wine, if you want to make all kinds of alloys, I'm afraid it's better to find no one than a dwarf.
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Don's face: "Come, keep drinking, and these meat steaks, eat to your heart's content, you may not be able to eat such good things after you go back, by the way, do you want me to tell the cook to bring you some food on the road?" ”
Don didn't talk directly to Brian about staying, and the best-case scenario was that Brian volunteered to stay because of his nostalgia for life here.
Brian was overjoyed: "Of course! Alas, big brother, you are really too enthusiastic, if it weren't for the harsh conditions here in your territory, I would have wanted to stay for a while! ”
“……”
The corners of Don's mouth twitched, this guy's mouth is really underwhelming......
"The conditions are difficult, so there are challenges," Fiona said casually, "What's more, it won't be long before Ellington will become prosperous and prosperous under the leadership of Lord Donn, and when merchants from all over the world gather here, all kinds of delicacies will appear here, and Ellington's living conditions will naturally improve." ”
"Oooh!"
Brian exclaimed: "Fiosa, you really believe in the big brother!" ”
"My name is Fiona!"
Fiona resisted the urge to hit people, and corrected Brian's name with a straight face: "I believe in Lord Donn, and I believe in my own strength!" ”
"It's fun, it's funny."
Brian said as he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it.
Seeing that Brian still hadn't taken the bait, Don had a little itchy teeth, and Fiona racked her brains when she saw this, and suddenly asked: "It's said that it's hard to be an enemy of the people of the earth, and it's even harder to be a friend, is this true?" ”
"Of course, of course!"
Hearing Fiona call him the Citizen of the Earth, Brian's eyes bent into a line with a smile: "It's not me who blows, why is it so hard to be our enemy?" Because we've killed all the enemies! Why is it harder to be our friend? Because you can't drink us! ”
Blow! Keep blowing! Blow hard!
Tang En's face was contemptuous, and the idea of getting high-grade liquor out was even stronger, and when the time came, he must let this guy know what wine is!
"But you call Don En big brother, does this mean that you treat Don En as a friend?"
"Of course, my eldest brother and I fell in love at first sight, not to mention that the eldest brother saved me, right? Come big brother and do one! ”
Tilt, pour!?
Fiona looked at them with a horrified expression, and Don touched his glass with Brian with a blank expression.
Probably a misunderstanding......
"Speaking of which," said Fiona, "you haven't repaid Lord Donn for saving your life. ”
Unexpectedly, Brian slapped the table very boldly: "Haha, Fiosa, what are you talking about, since you are friends, what do you say about repaying the favor or not, I know that the big brother definitely doesn't care, right?" Besides, I'm a poor dwarf like this, and I can't give anything to repay my kindness? ”
This guy's face is invincible!
Tang En exclaimed in his heart, if he hadn't discovered the special features of that treasure two-handed war hammer, I am afraid that Tang En would have really been deceived by his acting skills.
Fiona said with a smile: "My name is Fiona, besides, if you want to repay the favor, you don't have to come up with something, Ellington is short of talents here, aren't dwarves good at forging?" You can stay and help your lord. ”
"Well," Brian burped, his seemingly innocent face full of cunning, "I'm too eye-catching for an alien in a human town, so forget it." ”
Seeing what Fiona wanted to say, Don gently waved his hand to stop her, and then smiled: "Fiona, don't be rude, Brian is a guest, we can't blackmail her." ”
Fiona turned her face away in a huff and kicked Don right under the table.
I'm obviously helping him! How could he be like this!
Donn graciously raised his glass and chatted with Brian, and the conversation was inadvertently brought to blacksmithing and blacksmithing.
"Big brother, it's not me who blows, if you want to talk about smelting and forging skills, we call it second, no one dares to call it first! But I've never heard of such a metal! Light weight, high strength, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, no rust...... How could it be! If it's Adamantite or Ogin, it's possible to have this property, but ...... Adamantite and Ao Jin are not light! ”
Brian's eyes widened, and he had a "I read a lot, you can't fool me" expression.
Tang En picked up his wine glass very calmly and said, "I haven't heard that you have little knowledge...... The kind of metal I just talked about is an alloy. ”
"Alloy?"
Hearing this unfamiliar word, Brian became interested: "What is alloy?" ”
The corners of Don's mouth curled, and he said, "Do you know about composite materials?" ”
"Composites?"
Brian looked dazed.
"The advantages of two or more materials are combined, and the artificial material produced is a composite material."
"Oooh! I know this, we sometimes add a small amount of Adamantite and Aojin to the weapon materials, which can enhance the enchantment effect, composite? Alloy? Sounds like a very appropriate statement, big brother really has you! ”
Don smiled and bent his fingers and tapped on the table: "Think about it, how much impact will a material have when it is made into armor that is reliable, durable, light and easy to carry?" ”
Reliable, durable, lightweight and easy to carry?
Brian thought for a moment, and his breathing suddenly became much shorter, how much of an impact?
It's a world change!
The armor has become lighter, the marching speed has increased significantly, and the army's food and grass can last longer and support longer operations, which means that the army can actually control a wider range of operations.
"Oh, by the way, Fiona, I almost forgot," Donn clapped his hands, "I'll put in touch with Ellington's blacksmith tomorrow, I'd like to talk to him about something...... Hey? Brian? What are you looking at me for? Drinking, you won't be able to drink so much when you go back. ”
"Hey...... That, big brother," Brian leaned over with a shy face, "I suddenly felt that not repaying the kindness of saving my life was really worthy of our status as a citizen of the earth, so I decided to stay and help you!" ”
