"Click!" With the sound of gears turning, the sluice gates of the underground river leading out of the mountain were lifted, accompanied by the sound of the rushing water.

"Squeak!" The huge wheel ten meters high was slowly rotated by the huge impact of the water, and there was a creaking sound, in this world, the water flow has been used to the extreme, and the mills in many places are driven by the water flow, so the water movement technology is okay.

The huge water wheel drove a shaft doped with magic metal, and then drove the large and small gears, and the huge forging hammer weighing hundreds of tons was slowly lifted.

"Bang!" the forging hammer was pulled up a few meters before falling down with a loud bang.

"Haha, it worked. Mocha roared excitedly, and then the gnomes in front of the entire forge roared excitedly, for these gnomes, this forging machine was an unprecedented success, and the machinery involved in it could be said to be a heavy breakthrough, and some gnomes had even thought of some dusty drawings that could be tested.

However, the experiments required funds, so the gnomes approached Cook: "Lord Baron, I have here a good mechanical drawing that can make the current carriage faster ......." ”

"Go, go, you don't have a lot of influence enough, Lord Baron, this is the blueprint I designed....... ”

Cook didn't feel happy now, but a headache, but Cook couldn't ignore it, Cook coughed and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, I have a drawing here, this is unprecedented, please look at it." ”

Cook couldn't say anything, so he took out the drawings of thousands of tons of iron ships he had drawn, and as soon as the drawings were taken out, these gnomes had to look at them carefully, but this time, the gnomes were stunned, because this was a regular drawing, and the unit length on it was at least 100 meters long.

Elder Mocha looked at it and said, "Lord Baron, I'm afraid that such a big boat is not so easy to use in the river, right?"

"Hehe, this is a sea ship, it is for sailing on the ocean. Cook explained with a smile.

"On the ocean, Lord Baron, there is no need, there are many demonic beasts in the sea, and they are larger than those on land, even if your ship is hundreds of meters long, it is impossible to resist the full force of those big guys. Another dwarf pointed out and said, all of them here are at the level of senior engineers, even masters, grandmasters, after all, the forging machine is the product of the gnomes across the ages.

Cook glanced at the surrounding gnomes, and then said: "Yes, the demonic beasts in the ocean are very huge, and the attack power is also very strong, but we don't have the means, there are countless times more metal deposits on land in the ocean, and countless resources, do we have to give up?"

"Lord Baron, you should be realistic, even the hardest ironwood can't resist the attacks of those demonic beasts, or look at my drawings ....... Elder Mocha also took out a drawing.

Cook didn't take Elder Mocha's drawings, but asked loudly, "The drawings of my ship are not made of wood, but all of white iron!"

"White Iron!" After a brief silence, the gnomes grew their mouths and looked at Cook in disbelief.

"Yes, I will prepare at least three thousand tons of white iron, everyone, this will be a miracle created by our dwarfs and dwarves, a miracle that can be passed down in countless planes and countless generations, are you willing to leave your name on this miracle?" said Cook agitatedly.

"Yes, willing!" The gnomes are crazy, three thousand tons of white iron to build a ship, how extravagant this is, how crazy it is, I have to say that Cook is such a luxury, such madness is very much to the appetite of the gnomes, think of the huge metal monster built of three thousand tons of white iron, all the gnomes are eager to do it immediately.

"Okay, I'll give you a detailed explanation of this drawing, and I also want to say that as long as we succeed, then 6,000 tons, 10,000 tons, 30,000 tons of white iron ships, are we still far away?" Cook then continued to roar loudly.

"Oh my God, 10,000 tons, that's a white iron city!" the gnomes nearly fainted from Cook's crazy thoughts.

Mocha waved his short arms and shouted loudly, "We need more engineers, we need more forging machines!"

"Hehe, I'll handle this qiΔ“, first of all, let's look at this drawing, this ship is a sea ship for the ocean, first of all, this watertight compartment, you see, this ship has thirteen watertight compartments, even if one of the parts, or two parts are damaged, it will not lead to damage to the ship, and there is the keel, shell, and frame We use white iron, and the rest of the parts are made of wood ....... Cook put all his knowledge of ships to use on this drawing.

"Oh my God, my God, you are such a genius, Lord Baron's creativity in engineering is beyond my reach, this watertight compartment is really a genius idea. Mocha heard what Cook said and immediately roared excitedly.

But then Mocha put forward his opinion: "Lord Baron, the power plant you mentioned is very problematic, you see that it is exposed to the outside, if someone destroys it, it is easy to damage it directly with water plants or other things." ”

"Well, that's just a preliminary idea for me. "Cook admits that he was negligent, the world's oceans are not as calm as they are on Earth, and if a group of sea tribes come and use a lot of seaweed, your propeller will be finished.

"Hehe, it's actually very simple, we use a huge water wheel at the back of the boat. Mocha drew a water wheel with a pen and explained.

"Well, that's a good idea, too. Cook looked at it and found that this water wheel has great benefits in both maintenance and vigilance, after all, the water wheel is running at high speed.

Mocha then went on to say: " Lord Baron, the frame in this main body can be a little thicker, after all, the monsters in the ocean are tens of hundreds of tons of big guys, we must at least withstand their fierce blows, in addition, I built a layer of protection for this shell, you can design some fish scale-like armor, so that we can also replace the armor if it is slightly damaged, and the collision angle in front of it, I build it more sharp, it is best to depict some sharp magic arrays, like a sharp blade, I think such a huge ship, and such a high speed, as long as the collision angle is strong enough, I am afraid that the ninth-level demonic beasts will not dare to resist......。 ”

Mocha's series of construction made Cook's eyes light up, and Cook immediately said: "Master Mocha, please find someone to revise this drawing, I am a layman after all." ”

"This, this, we gnomes have a few drawings of ships from ancient times, but they are ....... Mocha stammered.

"What, there's a ready-made one, can I take a look?" Cook was excited, and wanted to say that he would take it and take a look, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and turned it into an inquiry.

Mocha ran away on his short legs, but when he returned a few minutes later, a hide was spread out, and Mocha explained, "It's a replica!"

After Cook looked at this drawing, he felt cool in his heart, because the ship on this drawing was actually two kilometers long and more than one kilometer wide, and all of them were made of magic alloys, and the configuration on it was a squadron of flying knights, a knight regiment, and a hundred magic giant crossbows, not to mention ordinary giant crossbows, and there were as many as fifty magic crystal cannons.

Cook didn't look at the load capacity, because the ship was actually suspended in the sea, which was almost already flying, and the magic materials needed were sky-high, Cook rolled up the drawing, and then stuffed it to Mocha: "Master Mocha, you better forget this drawing." ”

"Hehe, I also know that this is unrealistic, but do you think we have any lessons for this ship?"

"Master Mocha, let's revise my drawings first, and when we are proficient in building in the future, it's not too late to learn from them at that time. Cook said tactfully.

Mocha came to his senses, he was a little too ambitious, Mocha nodded very happily: "Okay!"

Two days later, Cook looked at the drawings designed by Mocha and the others, and his mouth grew up, and he asked half-loudly, "Are you sure this is what you modified?"

Cook looked at the hedgehog-like pattern of the ship, and couldn't believe that what he saw with his eyes was real, Mocha explained on the side: " Cook, we think it's not cost-effective to just use white iron, after all, the cost of white iron is high, and the weight is also large, you look at these parts, we use animal bones, the weight of the bones of the monster is lighter than the white iron, but the strength is definitely stronger than the white iron, in addition, these barbs around are also to guard against the monsters in the ocean, although we know that it will affect the speed, but in the ocean, the speed of the monster is faster, isn't it?"

Listening to Mocha's explanations one by one, Cook slowly agreed, because Mocha had a good reason, and Cook looked at the barbs on the ship, how weird and weird it felt.

Half-ringing, Cook gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, just follow this drawing, but we have to calculate each part, otherwise it will be troublesome to rework." ”

"That's fine, we gnomes are the most proficient at this, but Cook is not a small thing to build, we have to find a good place to build it beforehand, right?" Mocha then asked.

"I'll take care of this, but I'm afraid this place isn't the right place. Cook gritted his teeth again.

"That's for sure. Mocha replied, rolling his eyelids.

Cook then left the barony non-stop, because Cook wanted to find a place to build a dock, I have to say that Cook held the map of the continent and studied it for several days, not that the dock can be built if there is water, the depth of the water, safety and other factors must be considered, as well as a series of factors such as the production of the surrounding area.

Cook finally chose three locations, one is in the Empire of Light, which doesn't need to be considered at all, the Empire of Light is too strong, and the other is the Monto Empire, but there are no minerals in that place, even if there is, it has not been found, and the place is a bit deserted, and the supply of materials is not very good, and the other is the Satya Empire, which can be said to be not so strong, and it is greatly affected by the magic city, and the key is that the material operation is relatively convenient.

Cook valued a lake in the Satyan Empire, which was connected to a large river, the continent was vast, and the river also flowed through the barony's domain, the total length was almost 10,000 kilometers, so the river was very wide, several kilometers wide, and the riverbed was very deep.

The vicinity of the lake in this world is still a relatively remote place, after all, the lake is connected to a large river, and once it is rainy, the lake will soar several meters high, and a large area will be flooded around.

The reason why Cook chose this lake is because as long as a sluice gate is set up where the lake is connected to the big river, and then the lake is cleaned of the harmful monsters in the lake, then the lake is a fertile food production area, and as for the cost of building the sluice, it is not difficult for Cook at all.

"It's a headache, and you have to deal with the Satya Empire. Cook personally went to the lake to check it out, and decided to choose there, but it was the land that belonged to the Satya Empire, because there were no nobles who wanted this place, and the area that Cook wanted to buy was very large, including the lake and dozens of kilometers around the lake, it can be said that this place was larger than the barony's domain, but considering that the barony's territory bordered several human empires on the one hand, and bordered on the barbarian plateau, the other two aspects were the huge area of the ownerless Natal Mountains, so that the area of the lake was very small。
