Chapter 146 Science and Technology Are Primary Productive Forces

The split between gnomes and goblins can be traced back ten thousand years ago. At that time, gnomes and goblins had different research directions. Gnomes tended to study physics knowledge, and many inventions were related to physics, while goblins tended to study chemistry. If we go further , is the invention of various explosives.

And when goblins combine their knowledge of chemistry and physics, they have a lot of fun.

There was a loud "bang", it was a dawn that opened the curtain of a new era, it was people's resistance... To put it too far, in a word, the super big mushroom planted by the goblins blew up the entire main continent of Prandal, and then , the surviving dwarves and goblins broke off completely.

The gnome thinks the research of the goblin is too dangerous and worthless, and the goblin thinks the research of the gnome is too conservative and meaningless. Simply put, the two races have been inseparable since then, and there was a time when they met each other. Brain burst out.

This situation has been improved after Rivez Gold Tooth ruled the goblins and started to engage in finance. Although they have not given up the aesthetics of explosions, at least in order to save their own lives to enjoy gold coins, their research will no longer be so Dangerous.

Both Dunn and Durandon could understand Cloto's complicated feelings for Rivez. On the one hand, the goblin was also the culprit that caused the destruction of their civilization. This kind of hatred would not be easily let go, but on the other hand, the goblin was also the only one in Prandal. The race that can understand dwarves is the only partner walking on the road of science. Clotho doesn't want them to give up science and become capitalists full of copper smell.

The more Cloto spoke, the more excited he became, he took a few sips from his wine glass, and then said to Tang En with red eyes: "After talking with you, I realized that I am not alone, Tang En, who will light the torch of human civilization in the future The task is entrusted to you!"

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched. Is it really okay to give him a magician for this kind of task?

"Speaking of the magic drive problem just mentioned, I have some immature ideas, but the dwarves don't have magicians, so I haven't experimented with it."

Cloto sighed, and said: "Although the steam engine we use is enough for daily use, it is becoming more and more found that the power of the steam engine is not enough, especially the airship I am conceiving recently, which uses the steam engine as the power to fly. The ability is seriously insufficient, so I thought about using the combination of magic crystals and magic circles to increase power output."

The gnomes are already thinking about taking to the sky?

Tang En's eyes lit up: "I also have my own opinion on this point. The steam engine converts the flame into steam internal energy and then converts it into kinetic energy. A lot of energy is lost in the process. If the conversion steps can be reduced, the energy efficiency ratio will be greatly improved. promote."

"I also thought about this method, but unfortunately I can't do it..."

"In addition to this method, the power source can also be replaced."

Tang En smiled slightly: "Have you thought about internal combustion engines?"

The engine used on the earth is a typical internal combustion engine. The atomized gasoline is ignited in the combustion chamber and explodes, generating a strong driving force to drive the piston. The birth of the internal combustion engine eliminated the steam engine and raised the development speed of the earth's civilization to another level. Although it has brought serious pollution, it has contributed a lot.

Clotho was taken aback: "Internal combustion engine?"

Tang En briefly explained the principle of the internal combustion engine to Clotho. Of course, the gasoline in it was replaced by other things, but this did not prevent Clotho from understanding the meaning.

"This this--"

Cloto thought for a while, with both surprise and worry on his face: "Although this internal combustion engine is indeed good, according to what you said, wouldn't it be a terrible bomb? If the material of the combustion chamber cannot resist the power of the explosion... ..."

Tang En said with a smile: "This is also easy to solve, just use better metal, let alone a micro-explosion, so there is no need to worry about safety."

"This... no, I have to contact some of my other assistants to discuss the feasibility."

After Cloto finished speaking, he pressed the button on his body, but after a while, several gnomes in a panic ran over.

"What's going on? So embarrassed?"

"Those guys are drunk," a dwarf shouted angrily, "They don't even look at the road!"

Cloto glared at them: "Okay, haven't you learned enough lessons from the previous wine festivals?"

After talking, Cloto introduced Tang En to them, and then explained Tang En's thoughts. After listening to those dwarves, they also had the same worry as Cloto, that is, they were worried about the explosion of the internal combustion engine.

"Is that really the case..."

Cloto frowned and said: "It's better to build a small model after going back, and you should be able to know the feasibility after a few experiments."

"This can be considered after going back."

Tang En said with a smile: "In addition to internal combustion engines, we can also consider the combination of magic crystals and magic circles."

"This... I'm relatively new to the field you mentioned, so I'm afraid it's hard to make any suggestions."

"Actually, the magic power crystal is the most convenient and clean energy source. Not only is the magic power output stable and controllable, but it can also be converted into a variety of powers through the magic circle, which is very convenient."

Tang En said with a smile: "Think about it, if the power of the steam engine is insufficient, wouldn't it be convenient to reduce the weight of the airship by joining forces with human mages and using magic crystals and anti-gravity magic circles? If the weight is reduced So, the power of the steam engine is also enough to propel the airship into the air, right?"

"Or just abandon the steam engine and use the wind magic circle and turbofan as the power source. I think this direct conversion is more efficient and powerful than the steam engine."

Cloto's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a good way, but the problem is that there are too few magicians who understand these magic circles, and those who are willing to cooperate with us dwarves are even rarer—"

Speaking of this, Cloto suddenly paused, and stared at Tang En with wide eyes: "Speaking of which, Mr. Tang En, you seem to be a magician?"

"That's right," Tang En nodded with a smile, "It just so happens that I happen to be very good at these kinds of magic."

"Great!"

Clotor jumped up and grabbed Tang En's hand: "Mr. Tang En, please cooperate with me, I think we will make the dwarf technology shine again!"

"I am very happy to cooperate with you. In fact, if you join the two construction machines I am conceiving, it will probably go more smoothly."

"Please tell me what construction machinery it is!"

Hearing now, Cloto no longer dared to underestimate Tang En. The few small suggestions Tang En made just now were beyond the imagination of an outsider. His master figure.

"One is the magic automatic car and the other is the magic car. Both are construction machinery conceived to facilitate people's travel."

Seeing that Clotor was about to take the bait, Tang En naturally took advantage of the situation and threw out the prepared bait: "They can become vehicles to replace carriages in the future, carrying passengers to their destinations quickly, and can also quickly transport goods."

When Cloto and the assistants heard this, they were already excited. Even Durandon, who couldn't get in the way next to him, was overjoyed when he heard the effect of the magic car.

What does it mean for a vehicle that can transport people and goods quickly?

The substantial increase in transportation efficiency can effectively improve the strength of all aspects, economy, agriculture, military... No matter what it is, it has a wide range of uses, how could he ignore it?

Tang En leisurely said: "I have basically solved the idea of ​​the power source of these two types of construction machinery and equipment, which is to use a miniaturized turbofan and a wind magic array to realize it. The main shape and structure have also been designed, but the specific details I'm not an expert on that, so progress has been slow lately."

"I'd love to help you make these work if you want!"

Cloto suffered from an occupational disease, and said frantically, "Where is your territory? I can follow you right away—"

"Master Clotho!?"

"You can't do that!"

"Oh my God!"

The dwarf assistants panicked immediately, and desperately dragged Clotho to prevent him from being stupid.

Cloto Wrench is the commander of the dwarves, and also the leader in the true sense. If he goes to the human territory and hangs on, what will happen to their dwarf kingdom in the future! ?

"Let go of me! You idiots!"

Clotho yelled loudly: "What is the highest law of the dwarf kingdom!? Have you all forgotten!?"

"Science and technology are primary productive forces……"

"That's right!"

Cloto said righteously: "Now there is a huge learning opportunity in front of me, which can improve my knowledge reserve that has been stagnant for a long time, but you are here to stop me from studying, what are your intentions!"

Several dwarf assistants looked at each other, and after a while, a dwarf said in a low voice: "But, but you are the leader of the dwarves..."

Cloto said resolutely: "If it's for science, then I don't want to be the leader!"

His words immediately made those dwarves fall to the ground in fright. Seeing how pitiful they were about to pee in fright, Tang En had no choice but to speak.

"Master Clotho, you don't have to do this."

"why?"

Cloto looked displeased: "Don't you think I'm not strong enough, I'm not skilled enough, and I can't do this job?"

"No, no, I just think I'm overqualified."

Of course Tang En wanted to abduct Clotho to work there, but if he did that, the people in the Dwarf Kingdom would probably hate him to death, and besides, his goal in the first place was not Clotho... but his. these assistants.

Tang En said with a smile: "With the strength of a master, if there is a finished product for you to learn, you will be able to understand the principle soon, right?"

"certainly!"

"Since this is the case, the master can send you assistants to study with me back, and you will have the opportunity to study after the results are obtained."

Cloto was silent for a while, feeling very upset: "Although it is possible, but I am not happy to learn this knowledge for the first time... Anyway, if this is the case, then you guys will wait until the end of the wine festival. Don't go back to Gear City, follow Mr. Dunn to Ellington to study."

Seeing that Cloto had changed his mind, the dwarves were relieved, and thanked Tang En with joy.

Tang En accepted their gratitude with a smile. Not only did he get a talent, but he sold it well. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Of course he was happy!
