Chapter 619: An Alliance Without an Alliance Leader (Part II)
In the end, how many technologies are needed to evolve from the primary steam engine era to the era when steam locomotives are widely used?
Duke didn't count. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But as an engineering university and a university student majoring in built environment and equipment engineering, he has enough knowledge to cross it all.
Nima's, what kind of major with environmental words, no environmental protection knowledge at all, especially to learn thermodynamics and boilers?
Learn a boiler and come to a dead-faced tutor, the aura is terrifying, just called the beast plus doctoral tutor, on the first day of class, he threw out a poor worm's baby who played with a new crazy mobile phone, which made Duke, who had skipped class three times the day before, obediently go to school like a grandson.
Well, study well, it always pays off.
Duke Balabala said to the three dwarf kings about the idea of the black technology of the train, as well as the elements of attention, the three dwarf kings all looked like disciples, especially Magni and Gerbin were recording with a notebook.
Don't look at the eagle's nest mountain always using griffins, it seems that it has nothing to do with this matter, the dwarf's fascination with black technology is almost imprinted to the bones.
The other kings didn't understand it at all, which didn't prevent them from showing an unclear expression that they didn't understand, but they felt super powerful.
It doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as they feel like it works.
"What do you think, Dalin?" asked Solas in a whisper.
"Duke does things, don't say it, I've never seen a time when it was unreliable. "Dalin's rating is quite high.
Antonidas decided to stop Duke first: "Okay, next question, we all think you put this ...... It's no problem for the railway to be repaired to Chiji Mountain. What about the swamp of sorrow? If you can solve the technical problems, what about the threat in the swamp? Our people have a lot to lose when they cross the swamp. And the people who built the railway?"
Duke snapped his fingers, and Gavinrad, who was guarding the door of the side hall, understood and opened the door.
Not only the kings, but all the guests were amazed.
Because at the doorway stood two Naga wearing leather armor with the emblem of the Stormwind Kingdom and a strange fish-man.
The Kingdom of Stormwind has Naga and Fish-Man troops, as everyone knows. Everyone always thought that these were some of the lower races that couldn't be put on the table, even though they had always been within the Stormwind Kingdom, and no one really thought that Duke would officially introduce them on such an occasion.
"Let me introduce you to the fish-man prophet Mogol, the angry scale Naga priest Vala, and the spiny spine Naga priest Sephiris. ”
Vala hadn't attended an important occasion in a long time, and after the battle to wipe out the main force of the Blackstone Clan at Wanghai Cliff, she almost thought that she had lost her value and was forgotten by Duke.
Unexpectedly, Duke actually introduced her to the upper echelons of the league.
This is undoubtedly a status promotion and recognition of identity.
"Honorable Kings, Vala Scales Evis salutes you. Vala and Sephielis folded all their arms and bowed to the kings.
The kings nodded in return.
Even if it's inconspicuous, it's at least an indescribable amount of respect. The three alien leaders all felt trembling with emotion.
Duke continued, "I'll use the portal to throw the Naga troops and some of the elite Fish-Man troops into the Swamp of Sorrow. When the time comes, the construction of the railroad in the Red Ridge area will be handled by the newly captured orc captives. And the Swamp of Sorrows is aided by the fish-man and the male Naga. ”
Magni discussed with Gerbin and said, "We believe that the technology provided by Duke will have an epoch-making effect on our mining technology and mineral transportation. In return, we, the Copperbeard Dwarves and the Gnomes, will unconditionally provide the iron ingots and workers needed to build the railroad. ”
When the kings heard this, there was an uproar.
No one expected that Duke's new technology would let the dwarves send iron to people like white wolves.
This is almost a transportation lifeline picked up for nothing!
Everyone talked about it for a while.
Duke's hand is too pretty, isn't it? He said he had it all, but he barely had to spend a copper.
Are copperbeard dwarves fools?
Having dealt with dwarves for hundreds of years, everyone knows that dwarves have an unexpected shrewdness under their seemingly rugged character. They will never take the initiative to deceive people, but they will never let themselves be cheated at will.
Duke's technology is definitely the key to their dreams, which makes them willing to give so much.
Ryan elbowed Anduin and smiled, "Look, I'll just say that putting Duke in the overall position is where he can really play his ability." ”
Anduin replied with the same smile, "Remember the year when Stormwind almost went to famine?"
"Hmm. ”
"If we could get East Elwyn's grain to Stormwind that year, it wouldn't be so much trouble. ”
"Yes! The wheat rotted halfway through. ”
People in this era don't have much concept of logistics. This does not prevent those visionaries from seeing the benefits of high-speed logistics.
Duke said in general: "The construction of the railway can also stimulate the upgrading of the production process of the Iron Fort, for example, I can make a set of building molds in the Iron Fort, and mass production according to the molds can cut the time to build a house in half." ”
......
Duke smiled and answered the kings' questions, and each answer was extremely satisfying.
And he is confident in this plan.
Don't you see that before the crossing, the country has been engaged in the 'Belt and Road'?
Don't you see how the country's logistics industry has flourished after the popularization of high-speed rail, driving the economies of various regions? As long as this plan is successful, then this will not only build a military hub, but also a complete economic lifeline.
That's right, after the war, every country was devastated and needed to be rebuilt in all sorts.
Duke's approach is undoubtedly a kind of cash-for-work. And with the laying of the railroads, more grain and specialty products could be transported from the depths of the enclosed forest, either as supplies to the Cursed Lands, or from the Stormstorm Harbor ships to be shipped to the kingdoms of the northern continent as commodities.
Duke's special post-war economy undoubtedly allowed countries lacking gold and silver to find a new way to stimulate their economies.
In just one night, Duke made people forget about Lordaeron as the leader of the alliance.
Without the help of Lordaeron, who had once been wealthy, the remaining eight countries of the alliance have found a new way to defend themselves against foreign enemies and revitalize their post-war economies. (To be continued.) )
