Chapter 150 Gathering in Ellington

Gear City is the most similar city on Earth that Tang En has seen in the past two months in Prandal.

The huge city is full of steampunk style, huge structural structures exposed to the air, gears covered with black lubricating oil, pipes spraying scorching steam everywhere, and the thick familiar smog in the air...

If it wasn't for the fact that the dwarf's architectural style was so different from that of humans, Twain would have thought he had come to Europe in the 18th century.

Dunn discovered coal and oil in Gear City that were not found in the dwarves. It was precisely because of the development and use of these fossil fuels by the dwarves that the Gear City was full of pollution and smog.

Tang En has no intention of stopping the pace of development of the gnomes, but to him, the magic crystal is a clean energy that can replace coal and oil. The total reserves of this strange thing in Prandal far exceed coal and oil. In Tang En's opinion The magic crystal is the greatest wealth in this world.

"Are you interested in black stone and black oil?"

Cloto noticed Tang En's gaze: "Humans don't seem to have discovered the value of it. These two things are cheap, but they burn very well and can bring a lot of heat. The steam engine is very convenient to use."

"Black stone? Black oil? Oh!"

Tang En shook his head: "Actually, I know the value of these two things, but I don't like them—seriously, because of their burning, the air sucks!"

Cloto laughed: "We really like this taste."

"I hope you don't get any strange diseases. The smell in here is really bad."

"We are already thinking of a way, but unfortunately we haven't found a perfect substitute yet. The ancestors also used black stone and black oil as fuel at the beginning, but in the records excavated from the ruins, they later found a stable and efficient Maybe until we find that energy source, the magic drive you said is a good way."

"Let us work hard together."

"Speaking of which, we are already studying how to use other methods to stimulate the energy in the magic crystal, but the only result now is—"

Cloto hadn't finished speaking when he heard a muffled "boom" from a distance, and Cloto shrugged: "As you can see, the only result is to turn the magic crystal into a bomb, and the magic crystal cannot be turned into a bomb." If not, it will be difficult to release the energy inside stably.”

"Some devices use the energy of the magic crystal, but after we restored it, we still haven't figured out why they can extract the energy of the magic crystal stably. Now we are decomposing it in reverse, hoping to understand this problem."

"If you can solve this problem, new energy sources will not be a problem."

Tang En nodded in agreement. Compared with humans on Earth, dwarves actually have an advantage. This world has abundant resources for them to use, and no race competes with them. Moreover, they still have relics left by their ancestors to discover. From this, they can also master technologies that far exceed the current technological level, which is very helpful to their development.

Dunn didn't stay in Gear City for long. On the one hand, it was because the air here was terrible, and on the other hand, Cloto was too enthusiastic. That kind of enthusiasm almost wanted him to marry those dwarf beauties immediately and then live in Gear City. The city settled down.

After Dunn hastily arranged the teleportation array, he used the teleportation technique to return to Fort Forge Hammer.

He didn't directly connect the teleportation array of Gear City with the teleportation array of Forge Hammer, but planned to transfer through Ellington.

He is not a selfless person. Since Prandal's teleportation array technology has been lost, then this is his exclusive technology. Of course, the value of it must be maximized.

He intends to build Ellington into a transfer station, and all people who pass through the teleportation must pass through Ellington, so that as he develops, a steady stream of people will gather in Ellington, and many people who see business opportunities will also will gather in Ellington, and over time it will become a bustling commercial city.

Before that, of course Dunn had to firmly hold Ellington in his hands.

Dunn stayed in Fort Hammer for an hour, and made the first transaction with Durandon, buying a batch of finished copper ingots, and then teleported them back to Ellington.

After returning to Ellington, Tang En came to the large square under construction without stopping.

This large square is the central area of ​​Ellington he planned, and it will also be a transportation hub in the future, a transmission transfer station, Tang En already has his own plans for the area around the square, and most of it will be his key industries in the future, leaving a A small part is reserved for future partners.

"My lord!"

Uncle Depp, who was carrying a boulder on his shoulders, was helping those people to build. He immediately came over to salute Tang En when he saw it. The huge stone almost hit Tang En in the face.

This is what Elsa meant. Since Ellington is so busy now, the guards can't be idle, and they can just combine exercise and construction work.

"Don't be too polite, go get busy."

Tang En waved his hand, and then began to build the teleportation array.

As a transmission hub, Ellington's teleportation array must of course be reliable in quality. Tang En originally wanted to do it in one step, but after taking out the astral square crystal, he hesitated and put it back.

Now Ellington's power is too weak, if someone covets the teleportation array, he will lose more than gain if he removes the things.

So in the end Tang En arranged an ordinary teleportation array first, the quality was only slightly better than Forge Hammer Fort and Gear City, and then arranged an alarm magic array, he could be notified at any time if the teleportation array was in danger.

After engraving the space coordinate pattern of Forge Hammer Castle and Gear City on the core of the teleportation array, Tang En activated the teleportation array, and the runes on the teleportation arrays of Forge Hammer Castle and Gear City in the distance immediately lit up, resonating with each other, and began to build Stable space channel.

After the space channel is established, the space door will not be opened directly. The magic crystal on the teleportation array is only to maintain the space channel. When teleporting, the target needs to consume the magic crystal by itself.

Is it possible to collect tolls in the future?

Tang En rubbed his chin, and got inspiration from online games. Of course, the tolls can be exempted for his own teleportation, but in the future, for others... It shouldn't be too much to charge twice the magic crystal that the teleportation consumes, right?

This method is completely feasible!

Tang En clapped his hands and laughed.

If Ellington's transmission array extends in all directions in the future and becomes a transportation hub, then in the future, just sitting at home and collecting transmission fees can make money.

Of course, before that, it is more important to have the strength to guard the teleportation array, otherwise, a domineering strongman will just drive people away and collect protection fees. Isn't that a wedding dress for others?

"But don't think so much now, let's develop slowly."

Tang En is not in a hurry now, because he has secretly tampered with the three teleportation arrays, and only those who have his mana marks on them can use them. So far, there are not many people with his mana marks.

"The mana mark is still too troublesome. It can be improved in the later stage. An identification system is added to the teleportation array. The teleportation array can only be used after applying for a stored-value card in Ellington... Well, I am really a genius!"

Tang En became narcissistic again. At this time, the teleportation array next to him flashed a light, and a small figure appeared on the teleportation array.

"This is Ellington?"

"Clottor!?"

"Hey, seeing that the teleportation array is activated, I can't wait to come over and have a look."

Clotho looked at the busy construction scene around him, and was a little surprised: "Your territory...seems like it hasn't been built yet?"

"No, it was originally a small town, but I feel that the space for development is too limited, so I re-planned it before it developed, and it is now being rebuilt."

Tang En shrugged: "As you can see, it is under construction now. It is estimated that the construction will be almost complete before the arrival of the Harvest Moon. After all, there are not many buildings in Ellington."

"Yes, it is very farsighted, and the planning of the Gear City is also very unreasonable, but now I have no way to re-plan it. I can only slowly transform it into regions."

While Cloto and Tang En were chatting, there was another movement in the teleportation array next to them. This time, it was Durandon, Brian, and Albert who arrived.

"You're actually one step faster than me!"

Durandon saw Clotho startled.

Clotho said proudly: "The dwarf is always at the forefront!"

"Is this Ellington? It looks very lively."

Albert looked around. Even though the people around were busy and tired and out of breath, they all had smiles on their faces.

"Of course," Brian boasted triumphantly, "You don't know how lifeless this place was before the big brother came, but after the big brother came, it immediately glowed with vitality, I think Ellington soon will become a great city in the kingdom of men."

"What are you proud of, a dwarf!"

Durandon said with a black face: "This is not your territory!"

"Big brother and I are as close as a family. Of course his territory is mine, not to mention that I have a lot of credit for it! Did you see the hammer they used to smash rocks? I built it!"

Durandon and Eberron couldn't bear to look directly at them: "After so many years, your forging skills are still so poor...you can only show off among humans."

"Hmph! Just wait and see! There will be times when you will be shocked!"

Brian pouted, if they saw those machines, they might be shocked!

At this moment, Dunn noticed that Fiona was waving to him from the window, so he said, "Bryan, show them around. Fiona seems to be looking for something."

"give it to me!"

Brian finally laughed: "Then, welcome to our Ellington! Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"
