"Haha, Lord Tilion don't be too surprised."
Owen smiled and said, "Actually, the first steam engine was built last fall.So far, the steam engine has only been seen in the border town, and has not been widely used. ”"Even so, that's enough to shock us dwarves."
Tilion's eyes were fixed on the steam boring machine at work, already trying to disassemble the machine in his mind."
I can see that the steam engine has great potential, not only for drilling, but also for many applications.""
Lord Tilion, you're right."
Owen agreed, "We've used a steam engine in the mine to pull the ore, pump the water, and load it onto a ship to build a cargo ship that can sail without sails. ”"Oh - the steam engine is so wonderful!"
Tilion sighed, then turned to Owen and asked, "Could it have been designed by you?"
”"That's right.""
Wow!
Marquis Eisen, you are truly an incredible human being. ”Tilion really admired Owen more and more, "If you are a citizen of the Frmit Gong Kingdom, you will definitely be rewarded by the king himself, which is the highest honor of our dwarven race. ”"Of course!"
Hearing this, Mapel on the side couldn't help but raise his head and chest, his face was full of pride, and he was even happier than he was praised."
Lord Owen is a brilliant man who has invented many amazing new things and saved the Frontier Town from dire straits, and is now widely respected by the people and regarded as a savior sent by the gods.""
Ahem."
Owen faked a cough.This outrageous compliment, even he would blush when he heard it."
It's not that exaggerated.""
That's not an exaggeration!"
Mapel insisted on his claim, "I'm just stating the facts. ”"Mapel is right, I think so too."
Teresa echoed with a smile.On the other side, Tilion was still observing the steam boring machine.Although he wanted to get closer and study the structure of the steam engine more closely, he knew very well that this machine was powered by boiling water, and the white steam coming out should be water vapor, which must be very hot, and the warning sign also said "Do not go close".However, since this is a military factory that produces muskets, there must be a place where steam engines are produced, and the structure of steam engines can be thoroughly understood there.Thinking of this, Tilion couldn't wait to send a new request to Owen."
Marquis Eisen, I wonder if you can take me to visit the place where the steam engine is made?""
I'm sorry, Lord Tilion, but that's not going to work."
Owen shook his head in refusal.It didn't matter if Tilion was allowed to visit the munitions factory where the new musket was made, and he didn't know the recipe for the black powder that fired the bullets anyway, so it was a gesture of goodwill.But the steam engine is different, and if Tilion learns about the construction of the steam engine, then Owen has one less card in his hand that he can use."
What do you have to do for me to visit?
Marquis Eisen, I'm willing to do anything!
”If he hadn't been able to visit the steam engine factory, Tilion would not have been able to sleep, and his mind was now full of steam engines.At this time, it was Sally's turn to appear, and she specially accompanied Tilion to prevent this from happening."
Tylion, since the Marquis of Eisen doesn't allow it, forget it.If you insist on this, it will only make the other party feel difficult. ”"Sally, you don't understand.""
The steam engine is definitely an epoch-making machine, and if we had it, we would have accelerated the progress of building Noy, and there would have been great changes in all aspects. ”"Don't argue with the two of you."
Owen intervened in time and interjected: "It's not completely impossible to visit the steam engine factory, but it has to be done in another form. ”"In what form?"
Tilion asked anxiously.The corners of his mouth rose, and Owen immediately expressed his intention to cooperate: "I want to meet with the lord or representative of the new underground city of Nowa."
As long as the two sides can successfully establish a cooperative relationship, I will allow you Nowa to send a team of craftsmen to our border town to exchange and learn from each other. ”There is an extreme shortage of artisans in Frontier Town, and if he can take this opportunity to attract a group of dwarven artisans to stay, Owen will naturally not be able to ask for it.In addition, the dwarves also have a lot of experience in surveying ore veins, which can help them find out if there are any new ore veins in the Heng and Sky Dome mountain ranges."
That's fine."
Tilion suddenly came to his senses, "I'll go back to Noy to find our lord, and I will persuade him to send someone over to establish diplomatic relations." ”With that, he turned and walked out, ready to leave now."
Hey!"
Sally called out to Tilion, clasping her hands on her hips, as if she was a little angry."
Why are you in such a hurry, come and leave on the same day, aren't you tired?""
Ms.
Sally is right."
Owen also said, "You must have been tired and tired from following the transport team to the border town, and it is not early now, why don't you stay and rest for a night before leaving?"
”"Okay then."
Tilion didn't dare to make Sally angry, so she nodded in agreement.…… Dongsheng Fortress.Duke Eddie is very angry now, the letter has been sent for so many days, but the Marquis of Eisen has not even sent a reply.Although he didn't expect this letter to deceive the Marquis of Eisen, the other party's attitude of not being able to do anything about himself made him feel very unhappy.However, in this way, Duke Eddy was able to send an army to capture the border town and capture him on the grounds that the Marquis of Eisen ignored the king's orders.Originally, Duke Eddie had many means to force or even bring down the border town.For example, blocking the river to the border town.Isn't the border town unable to be self-sufficient in food?
Blocking the river is cutting off their grain routes, and within a year, the other party will not obediently surrender to themselves?
But not now, White has made it clear that Duke Eddie will bring Owen Eisen to the royal capital before the enthronement ceremony this summer.There is not much time left, and it may be too late to arrest the Marquis of Eisen.Therefore, Duke Eddie could only send out his army and complete the task assigned by White by means of military conquest.The small Frontier Town is definitely no match for the Dongsheng Fortress, and even if the other party has any new weapons, it will not be able to reverse the situation, and Duke Eddie is quite confident in this.Knowing this, the group of nobles who fled from the border town last year and took refuge in the Dongsheng Fortress were very excited.Before that, Duke Eddie was too busy with the battle for the throne to pay attention to them.Now, Duke Eddie is finally willing to make the decision for those nobles and ask for justice from the Marquis of Eisen, and they must have responded positively, contributing money and efforts, wanting to get back the confiscated land as soon as possible.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
