Chapter 664: Forging machine

"Kakaka!" With the sound of gears turning, the sluice of the underground river that led out from the mountain was lifted, accompanied by the sound of rushing water.
"Crack!" The huge runner about ten meters high was slowly turned 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. Mills are driven by water flow, so water-driven technology is not bad.
The huge water wheel drives a shaft mixed with magic metal, and then drives the large and small gears, and the huge forging hammer weighing hundreds of tons is slowly lifted up.
"Kh!" The forging hammer fell down after being pulled up a few meters, making a loud bang.
"Haha, it succeeded." Mocha roared with excitement, and then the gnomes in front of the entire forging machine roared with excitement. For these gnomes, this forging machine was an unprecedented success. The machinery involved can Said to be a major breakthrough, some dwarves have even thought that some drawings that have been covered with dust can be tested.
However, the experiment requires funding, so these dwarves are close to Cook: "Master Baron, I have a good mechanical drawing here that can make the current carriage faster..."
"Go, go, something of yours is not widely influential, Lord Baron, this is the blueprint I designed..."
Cook is not feeling happy now, but a headache, but Cook can't ignore it. Cook coughed loudly and said: "Everyone, everybody, I have a drawing here. This is unprecedented, everybody. Please see."
Cook took out the drawings of the thousands of tons of iron ships he had drawn. Once the drawings were taken out, the dwarves had to check them carefully. However, after checking, the dwarves were stunned because this is a regular drawing. If the unit length is converted, it is at least a hundred meters long.
Elder Mocha looked at it again and said, "My Lord Baron, I'm afraid such a big boat isn't that easy to use in the river, right?"
"Hehe, this is a sea boat, it is for sailing on the ocean." Cook explained with a smile.
"On the ocean, Lord Baron, then there is no need. There are many monsters in the sea, and they are larger than those on land. Even if your ship is hundreds of meters long, it is impossible to withstand the full blow of those big guys. "Yes." Another dwarf pointed and said, here are all senior engineer-level, even master-level, grandmaster-level characters, after all, the forging machine is the product of the dwarfs across the age.
Cook glanced at the dwarfs around him, and then said: "Yes, the monsters in the ocean are huge and their attack power is also very strong, but we have no means. There are countless times the metal deposits on land in the ocean. With countless resources, are we going to just give up?"
"Lord Baron, you should be more realistic. Even the hardest iron wood can't help the attacks of those monsters. Just look at my drawing..." Elder Mocha also took out a drawing.
Cook did not take the drawing of Elder Mocha, but asked loudly: "The drawing of my ship is not made of wood, but all made of white iron!"
"White Iron!" After a brief silence, the gnomes grew their mouths and looked at Cook in disbelief.
"Yes, I have prepared at least three thousand tons of white iron. Everyone, this will be a miracle created by our dwarf and dwarf clan. A great foot can spread on countless dimensions and countless ages. You are willing to leave on this miracle. Your own name?" Cook said loudly and agitatedly.
"Yes, yes!" The dwarves are crazy. Three thousand tons of white iron build ships. How luxurious and crazy is this. I have to say that Cook is such a luxury. Such madness is very appetizing for dwarves. Thinking of the huge metal monster built of three thousand tons of white iron, all the dwarves can't wait to do it right away.
"Well, let me explain the blueprint carefully to everyone below. In addition, I would like to say that as long as we succeed, is the 6,000-ton, 10,000-ton, and 30,000-ton white iron ship still far from us?" Ke then continued to roar loudly.
"God, ten thousand tons, that's a white iron city!" The gnomes almost fainted by Cook's crazy thoughts.
Mocha was even more excited, waving his short arms and shouting: "We need more engineers and more forging machines!"
"Hehe, I will handle all of this. First of all, let’s look at the drawing. This ship is a sea-going ship for the ocean. First of all, this watertight compartment. Look, this ship has thirteen watertight compartments, even one of them. The parts, or the damage of two parts, will not cause damage to the ship. In addition, the keel, hull, and frame are made of white iron, and the rest of the parts are made of wood..." Cook puts all his knowledge on ships Used on this drawing.
"My God, my God, Lord Baron, you are really a genius, Lord Baron’s engineering creativity is beyond my reach, this watertight compartment is really a genius idea." Mocha was immediately excited after hearing Cook's words. Roared.
But then Mocha put forward his own opinion: "My Lord Baron, the power unit you mentioned is very problematic. You think it is exposed. If someone damages it, it can be easily damaged by using water or other things. of."
"Uh, this is just my preliminary idea." Cook admitted that he was negligent. The oceans of this world are not as calm as those on the earth. If a group of sea people use a lot of seaweed, your propeller will be ruined.
"Hehe, it's actually very simple. We use a huge water wheel behind the boat." Mocha drew out a water wheel with a pen and explained.
"Well, this is also a good idea." Cook looked around and found that this water wheel has great benefits in both maintenance and alert, after all, the water wheel is running at high speed.
Mocha then said: "My Lord Baron, the frame inside this main body can be a bit thicker. After all, the monsters in the ocean are big creatures of dozens or hundreds of tons. We must at least withstand their blows. It is recommended to add a layer of protective device, you can design some fish-scale-like armor pieces, so that we can replace the armor pieces for slight damage, and the front collision angle, I recommend sharper, preferably some sharp The magic circle is 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 9th-level monsters will not dare to resist..."
A series of suggestions made by Mocha made Cook's eyes bright, and Cook immediately said: "Master Mocha, please find someone to revise this drawing. I am an outsider after all."
"This, this, there are some ancient ship drawings in our dwarf clan, but..." Moka stammered.
"What, there is a ready-made one, can I take a look?" Cook was so excited that he wanted to take it directly, but he changed his mind and turned into a question.
Mocha ran away with his short legs, but came back in a few minutes. A piece of animal skin was spread out. Mocha explained, "This is a copy!"
After Cook looked at the drawing, he felt cold, because the ship on this drawing was actually two kilometers long and more than one kilometer wide, and it was all made of magic alloy, and the configuration on it was a flight. A squadron of knights, a knight group, and a hundred magic giant crossbows, let alone ordinary giant crossbows, there are as many as fifty magic crystal cannons.
Cook didn’t look at the deadweight, because the ship was actually suspended at sea. It was almost flying. The magic materials needed were even more expensive. Cook rolled up the drawing and gave it to Mocha: "Mocha Master, forget about your drawings."
"Hehe, I also know this is unrealistic, but do you see what we can learn from this ship?"
"Master Mocha, let's modify my drawing first, and wait until we become proficient in building in the future, it won't be too late to learn from at that time." Cook said tactfully.
Only then did Mocha woke up, he was a little bit arrogant, and Mocha nodded readily and said, "Okay!"
Two days later, Cook looked at the drawings designed by Mocha and others. After a long time, he asked, "Are you sure this is what you modified?"
Cook looked at the ship pattern like a hedgehog, and he couldn't believe that what his eyes saw was true. Mocha explained on the side: "Cook, we think it’s not cost-effective just to use white iron. The cost is high and the weight is heavier. Look at these parts, we use animal bones. The bones of monsters are lighter than white iron, but the strength is definitely stronger than white iron. In addition, the surrounding barbs are also to guard against the monsters in the ocean. Although we know that it will affect the speed, in the ocean, the speed of Warcraft is faster, isn't it?"
Listening to Mocha's explanations one by one, Cook slowly recognized it, because Mocha had a good reason. Cook looked at the barbs on the ship, and it felt weird and weird.
After a while, 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 okay, our dwarf clan is the most proficient in this, but the construction of this thing is not more than ordinary small things, we have to find a good construction site in advance?" Mocha asked afterwards.
"I'll solve this, but I'm afraid this place is not suitable." Cook gritted his teeth again.
"That's for sure." Mocha rolled his eyes and replied.
Cook then left the Baronian Territory non-stop, because Cook was looking for a place to build the dock. I have to say that Cook held the map of the continent to study for several days. It is not that the dock can be built with water. The depth of water, safety and other factors must be considered thoroughly, as well as a series of factors such as surrounding production.
Cook finally chose three locations. One is in the Empire of Light. It doesn’t need to be considered. The Empire of Light is too strong, and the other is the Empire of Monto. However, there are no minerals in that place, and even if there is, it has not been discovered. , And the place is a bit remote, not very good for the supply of materials, the other is the Satya Empire, this empire can be said to be not so strong, and it is greatly affected by the Magic City, and the key is that the supply of materials is more convenient~ EbookFREE.me~Cook valued a lake in the Satya Empire. The lake was connected to a large river. The continent was vast, and the river also passed through the Baronian Territory, with a total length of almost 10,000 Kilometers, so the river is very wide, several kilometers wide, and the river bed is very deep.
The lakes in this world are still relatively remote places. After all, the lakes are connected to large rivers. Once the rainy season comes, the lake water soars several meters high, and the surrounding area will be submerged.
The reason why Cook chose this lake is because as long as a sluice is set up at the place where the lake connects with the big river, and then the harmful beasts in the lake are cleaned up, then the lake is a fertile food production area. As for the cost of building the sluice, It's not difficult at all for Cook.
"I have a headache. I have to deal with the Satya Empire." Cook personally went to the lake to check it out and decided to choose there. However, it was the land of the Satya Empire, because there was no nobleman who wanted this place. The area that Ke wants to buy is very large, including lakes and dozens of kilometers around the lake. It can be said that this place is larger than the baronial territory, but considering that the baronial territory is bordered by several human empires, and the other is with the barbarians It borders on the plateau, and the other two aspects are the vast area of ​​the unowned Natal Mountains. In this way, the lake area is very small.
