Although the dwarf said this, William was still very curious.
Under his repeated questioning, the dwarves told each other about the weird old dwarf. otbnkotgt At the beginning, this dwarf was no different from ordinary dwarves.
They all work very hard to grow, learn, and then choose the path they like to work hard on.
And what he chose was no different from the choices of most dwarves.
That is, engineers.
This is where the story begins.
"In the beginning, this guy didn't have much, just like an ordinary engineer.
The old guy worked hard to build more powerful steam engines, more accurate and more powerful muskets and artillery.
In addition, he also tinkered with some messy things. gadgets.”
"His craftsmanship is indeed good, to be honest, it is really good.
I remember that my aunt still has two pocket watches made by him at home.
That craftsmanship is no different from that made by the best watchmakers."
"He gained a little fame just by relying on this skill.
Then he gradually made money, bit by bit."
There is nothing new here in the story.
The deeds of this so-called eccentric old dwarf are no different from those of ordinary dwarf engineers.
But then, things became different.
"The guy went crazy and started thinking about unrealistic things But it's no wonder, those dwarf engineers always have great imaginations.
It's natural to often come up with weird things.
Some of these weird things have even become a reality now.
Impacted the world.
The most famous of these is the steam engine.
That's really good stuff.
I think the guy who invented the steam engine would be able to become a god if he were placed among humans. " The dwarves sighed as usual, praising how good this guy's craftsmanship was.
But William knew that this was not the point.
Yes, that's not the point.
Now, praising this guy for how good his craftsmanship is is just to pave the way for the next step.
Those guys must be using transition words soon.
"Nothing."
Look what I'm saying.
Although this was not the time to vent his anger and show his cleverness by watching other people's jokes, William still did it.
Maybe it's because of the recent depression, or maybe it's because I can relax outside the dwarf world.
So William really drank a little too much.
"But it failed in the end."
The dwarves continued: "What did that guy want to make?
By the way, a flying machine, yes, a flying machine.
That guy wanted to use a steam engine to connect a huge propeller.
Then you can push the airflow to fly."
"I remember that this theory was proven feasible by many people at that time, and that guy was famous for a while.
But unfortunately, it failed in the end."
"The current steam engine cannot provide much power.
At the same time, a steam engine, plus a shelf, plus a dwarf or something, this design is too heavy.
So it naturally failed."
"Oh, so that's it."
William listened thoughtfully.

Fly.
It doesn't sound like a hot air balloon, an airship or an airplane.
But a helicopter.
That dwarf engineer is quite imaginative.
It's just a pity.
It's not very reliable to build helicopters in this era.
"Then what?"
William asked in an entertaining tone, treating this matter as listening to a new and interesting entertainment announcement.
"Then the guy hasn't given up yet."
The dwarf drinking friends said: "Then next, the guy is no longer interested in aircraft, but he is ready to study steamships."
"Steam ships are very good."
William was a little surprised: "Aren't there many people experimenting with steam ships now?
If you say so, that old dwarf is very foresighted."
Hearing what William said, several dwarves burst into laughter: "Foresight is foresight, stupidity is stupidity.
If he just built a steam engine on the ship and then used the steam engine to drive the ship, it would be nothing."
But the old guy wanted to show off and built an iron warship."
"Ironclad ship" William couldn't help blurting out.
I regretted it after saying it.
However, he looked at his dwarf drinking buddies and felt relieved after confirming that all of them were numbed by alcohol.
"Well, yes, it's an ironclad ship."
The new term William said did not cause any commotion among the dwarves, and they continued on the topic: "His own savings were not enough, so he found a lot of sponsors.
In addition to the dwarves, there are also many wealthy human merchants.
They seem to want to use this new warship to change the balance of naval power in the future."
"Then what?"
William asked next.
"Then, he built an ironclad ship that he claimed was indestructible and then sank on the first day of trial."
"Oh, it sank.
Why?"
William asked curiously.
"Because it's too heavy."
The other party said matter-of-factly: "The specific gravity of metal is so high that after being made into a ship, it would sink directly into the sea."
The dwarf opposite said this.
After hearing this idiot say such unprofessional words, William decided not to discuss this kind of thing with him.
However, after hearing these two stories of this guy, William really became interested.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about this guy's forward thinking is enough for William to pay attention to.
"Then what next?"
William then asked.
"Then" the dwarf seemed to have drunk too much.
He said to William with a big tongue: "Then he will continue to be stupid.
Have you heard of trains?"
""As a well-educated nobleman, William forcibly endured this breath.
At the same time, he cursed in his mind countless times: "Asshole dwarf".
Yes, these bastard dwarves are very arrogant.
They think that they are the most intelligent and advanced race in the world, and that other races are just savage and backward barbarians.
That includes humans.

It feels like America looking at China in the 1990s.
Or some idiot first-tier city residents say the same thing to second-tier city residents: "Have you seen buses, have you seen telephone poles, have you seen KFC?"
That feeling really makes people want to kill someone.
"It's decided.
When I get rich, I will definitely send troops to this bastard place and kill all the dwarves."
William secretly swore in his heart that of course, this kind of oath is just a way to relieve his anger.
That’s all.
Not to mention the impact of Ritjord's severe cold weather on the army, there is also the extremely powerful armed force used by the dwarves.
Even if William could do this, he probably wouldn't.
If there were no dwarves as a race, the world's technological research and development process would fall significantly behind.
For William, who fantasizes about conquering the stars and the sea, this is not a good thing.
That's it.
So William chuckled twice and said nothing.
Then the dwarves felt that what they said was a bit too much, so they laughed and ignored it, and then continued: "That guy wants to design a brand new armored train."
"Oh, the armored train."
William became even more interested.
Compared to the steam ironclads currently under design.
The armored train that has been developed and put into use has been a success.
But of course, this kind of money-consuming thing can be said to be a huge toy that burns money.
At present, William knew that the only person who built it was Briton.
Yes, only Briton had three armored trains.
One of the columns was deployed on the mainland's Briton Islands, within the defense circle of the capital, and together with the Praetorian Guards formed the last line of defense to defend Briton.
The second column is deployed in Frisia, ready to go south at any time to join a new round of human civil war.
As for the third column
That's someone's own train.
It is said that it was destroyed some time ago due to unknown reasons.
But it didn’t have much to do with William, so William didn’t care too much.
Perhaps, aircraft, armored ships, etc., these things have never appeared before, so the dwarf's failure in researching this is excusable.
But the armored train is very simple.
This thing is available now.
And the technology content is not very high.
So said.
"So it still failed."
The dwarf drinking buddy said happily.
"Why?"
William was curious. " "Because there is no way to connect trains to the land of Ritjord."
The dwarf laughed and said, "The ground here is almost all permafrost.
Even gods can't lay railroad tracks on this kind of ground.
Yeah.
His little funds are not enough after just pulling a section of railway track.
Then, of course, the guy will go bankrupt, hahahaha."
Although it was unethical to laugh at others behind their backs, the dwarf drinking buddy couldn't help laughing when he thought of such a funny thing.
"What a bad luck, this guy."
William couldn't help but shook his head, and then secretly remembered the incident.
Then he took the opportunity to ask about other things, but unfortunately, all these dwarves remembered were anecdotes about the unlucky man.

Nothing is known about anything that is truly useful.
So William secretly sighed in his heart, these people are really hopeless scum.
Then just ignore it.
There is not much time left for him.
Next, he planned to go to the unfortunate old dwarf's house to take a look in person.
Maybe I can actually pick up a treasure, wouldn't that mean I can make money?
With this in mind, William was once again drunk by the dwarf's strong drink160420oshow7:
