Chapter 1173: Lure with Benefits

"The method of use is the same as the dwarf alchemical musket. Just open the safety, load the ammunition, and pull the trigger to fire." Professor Gavin said.

This dwarf spokesman knows how to move quickly and is extremely skillful. He is obviously an expert in this field.

After knowing how to use it, the movement of holding the gun was extremely standard. It seemed that he was afraid that the recoil force of this weapon would be too great and would exceed his load, so he directly adopted a crawling shooting position, and then he calmly prepared to shoot.

But after the safety was turned on, the dwarf spokesman couldn't help but be startled, canceled the shooting action, and his eyes fell on the elemental gun again.

It just looks like a dwarf alchemical musket, but its principles are far different.

Its safety setting is not to block the excitation, but to cut off the magic circle.

The entire elemental gun is a small magic circle. When the safety is opened and the last piece of the puzzle is in place, the red color on the butt spreads along the rune veins on the gun barrel, forming a complete whole, and the appearance is taken to a new level. , exquisite like a work of art.

Delonger can clearly feel the elemental power surging in it.

At this moment, he finally understood why it was called an elemental gun. It was a brand new way of applying elements.

The dwarf spokesman no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger directly, triggering this unique magic circle.

boom!

Even though the dwarf spokesman was fully prepared, he was still shaken by the powerful recoil, and his whole body bounced clearly.

On the contrary, a tongue of fire visible to the naked eye spurted out, and a fire ball visible to the naked eye bombarded the target rock a hundred meters away at an incredible speed.

Everyone vaguely seemed to hear the roar of a dragon. The fire ball looked like a miniature flying flaming dragon with spread wings.

The fire ball exploded, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and a hole as big as a bowl appeared on the target rock.

Where is the gun?

It's just a small cannon.

"Elemental bullet!" the dwarf spokesman screamed in disbelief, "No, this is an elemental bullet that uses highly compressed elements as the driving force. It has dual attacks of elemental and physical properties!"

He felt very clearly that there was a metal bullet wrapped in the fire ball.

While the fire element is forming a boosting force, the constantly rotating metal bullet is also adsorbing the surrounding fire elements, ultimately forming a double attack that complements each other.

The first level is the flame explosion impact, and the second level is the metal bullet bombardment.

If the opponent was not a huge boulder but a body of flesh and blood, the shot just now was enough to destroy his arms and legs. Even if he was wearing heavy armor, even if it could not be penetrated, it would be severely deformed.

The lethality is not comparable to that of the dwarf alchemical musket.

Gavin said in time: "I don't need to explain its value any more. Just increase the caliber and you can turn the gun into a cannon, further increasing the lethality. As long as dozens of them are deployed at dangerous passes, It can launch a complete blockade there to prevent the army from entering.

And this is just a preliminary version, there is still huge potential that can be tapped. For example, adding your alchemical gunpowder to these bullets and shells will cause them to impact and explode when they hit the target. I believe the lethality will be even more powerful. It can even achieve armor-piercing purposes.

The flame model is just one of them. The power of the bullets or cannonballs fired by other elements such as wind, water, earth, etc. will be different. "

Gudong.

The dwarf spokesman swallowed involuntarily. As a senior dwarf engineer, he clearly knew that Gavin was not talking nonsense, but had great feasibility.

After the dwarfs developed the alchemical bombardment cannon, they kept it hidden for fear of having too great an impact on the world.

But who would have thought that it would become a backward technology in a blink of an eye.

Looking at Gavin again, the dwarf spokesman's eyes were obviously different from before, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Do you mean, Your Excellency the Conqueror, to share this technology with us?"

Gavin corrected: "To be more precise, I want to conduct in-depth cooperative research with you and develop more methods of use. Your bombardment cannon and alchemy musket both have something to learn from."

"I have no way to make the decision on this matter. If you want to use the technology of bombardment cannon and alchemical musket, you must obtain the consent of the Lantan Island Invention Committee." The dwarf spokesman said with regret.

"Can you contact the invention committee of Lantan Island? I will explain to them personally. I can also visit Lantan Island." Gavin took the opportunity to ask.

It is no exaggeration to say that the dwarves of Lantan Island are the best inventive group in Faerûn, gathering a large number of dwarves or other intelligent inventors.

Many weird inventions in Faerun come from their hands, such as the suspension of the carriage and the wheel parts of the carriage that can be recycled and repaired, the self-igniting non-extinguishing oil lamp that will never go out as long as there is oil in the oil tank, various Various light and trip wire sirens.

Another example is complex hinged chains, automatic time limit devices, hasps, locks and objects with special functions (such as "sharp pins" that can be quenched to deter thieves, cavities to hide keys, special handles at the door when the door is opened) to run a chime, etc.).

There are both very practical ones, and there are also useless ones that look useful but are actually useless.

This kind of bold innovative thinking and super hands-on ability are exactly what Gavin needs most, especially those complex industrial equipment, such as underground rail cars, cars, steel battleships, etc.

These are not something that can be done with a snap of the fingers, but require a lot of craftsmanship.

Those dwarves are indeed the top craftsmen, and their forging skills are absolutely amazing. They can control you to the minute by hand, which is more accurate than machines.

But there is a prerequisite, you need to provide drawings.

Because when it comes to innovation, that's a joke.

He has long wanted to establish contact with the dwarves of Lantan Island, but he has no way to do it.

Just like the Eternal Gathering Island of the elves, the world only knows their general direction, but without anyone to lead, the possibility of taking a boat to the island is zero.

They are all protected by powerful magic, and it is unknown whether they are in the same plane as the mainland.

"Sorry, Lantan Island refuses visits from outsiders, but I can try to contact the Invention Committee. Whether they are willing to see you is not something I can decide." The dwarf spokesman gave a compromise.

Gavin thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, but I would like you to send these items and this gun to Lantan Island and hand them over to the Invention Committee. Please tell them that if they want to use this material on a large scale, they must come to me."

What he handed to the dwarf spokesperson was a piece of air glass, a rubber seal and a sketch.

The sketch was Gavin's wild imagination and memory restoration of mechanical equipment in his previous life.

He was increasing the bargaining chips, so that those dwarf inventors would take the initiative to find their own bargaining chips.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these things may be worthless.

But in the eyes of those dwarf inventors, these are probably priceless treasures.

It can be seen from the reaction of the dwarf spokesman that he just casually flipped through the sketchbook, and his eyes were straightened on the spot. He could no longer move away from it. He suppressed the urge to flip through it and asked: "Sir Conqueror, what is this?"

"A development concept map." Gavin said lightly, "The first page is the concept map of the underground rail vehicle, and the second page is the concept map of the heavy-duty truck... You have what I need, but at the same time, I have advantages that you don't have... I can make your inventions land and apply them in large-scale production.

If you are interested in these concept maps, I can mobilize hundreds of millions of funds and invest them in research.

I don't lack money, but I lack people who do research and corresponding research projects!

As long as the spokesman can successfully connect me, regardless of whether my consultation with the Lantan Island Invention Committee is successful, I promise to give you a million investment to build your invention laboratory and promote the invention experiment you are interested in."

If you want the other party to contribute, of course you have to lure them with benefits.

"Millions of investment? Gold coins?" The dwarf spokesman couldn't help swallowing again.

Building your own invention laboratory is the dream of every dwarf inventor, but it is a very expensive thing, not every dwarf inventor can afford it.

Even in Lantan Island, many dwarf inventors are crowded in a small invention laboratory.

"Of course it's gold coins." Gavin gave an affirmative answer.

The dwarf spokesman couldn't help but sigh: "Master Conqueror, you have conquered my heart. No one can refuse your conditions. Those inventors in Lantan Island can't do anything. I believe that as long as my information is sent back, the members of the Invention Committee will come to visit you as soon as possible."

"When they come, please go to Dalaoma City to find Ms. Luna. She can contact me as soon as possible." Gavin pointed to the horse girl behind him.

It is indeed very necessary to set up your own envoys in some places to facilitate those ordinary allies to contact themselves. After all, they don't know where they will be the next day.

His pace is very fast now. Many times, plans are far behind the speed of change.

After reaching a consensus on this matter, Gavin shifted the topic back to the original question, "With a convenient road, there is another benefit, which is that you can adjust your industrial structure and closely integrate it with the development of Dalaoma.

Dalaoma's emerging textile industry, I wonder if you have heard of it."

"Not only have I heard of it, we are also beneficiaries." Robock, the Voice of the Hill, pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "This dress is made of Dalaoma's cloth. More than 80% of our Samis foreign cloth and finished clothes come from Dalaoma."

"Let me introduce you, this is Master Nicole, who led the technical improvement of Dalamar's textile industry." Gavin pushed out another companion behind him.

He brought the Pixie girl out, of course, not just for sightseeing, but to further expand the depth of the textile industry.

The short race also has its own unique advantage, that is, dexterity.

They are very suitable for occupations that do not require high physical strength and rely heavily on the skills of both hands.

The textile industry is in this category.

Look at the correct version in 16191 book and bar!

"She is Master Nicole? Master Nicole is a Pixie? No wonder... No wonder the finished clothes produced by Dalauma have the unique beauty of the elves!" The dwarf spokesman Longdel couldn't help but look up and down at the Pixie girl, revealing a strong interest in his expression.

Weird inventions, strange and changeable illusions, and colorful and strange costumes are the three iconic characteristics of dwarves.

The dwarf spokesperson's outfit left a deep impression on people. The upper body was a brown vest, which seemed rough but revealed a rustic beauty. The vest was tailored to fit the body.

The lower body was a set of knickerbockers of the same color, which looked a bit loose and funny. On the feet, he wore a pair of bright green pointed shoes with raised toes, which had a unique shape. Coupled with the thick brown-red hair, it was really unforgettable at first sight.

"The travel cloth made by Master Nicole is the gospel of those travelers and mountain races. It is strong and wear-resistant. Now this kind of cloth is the most popular here." The focus of Robock, the Voice of the Hill, was obviously different from that of the dwarf spokesperson.

"Thank you for your recognition." Nicole responded generously, "Dalaoma's textile industry is just in its infancy and there is still huge room for improvement.

But my ability in mechanical manufacturing is very limited. I have encountered a bottleneck and can no longer make further improvements to the textile machine.

I heard from Lord Gavin that you dwarves are the best in inventing race in the world. I wonder if I can find a breakthrough here."

The little mouth of the Pixie girl was like honey. Not only did she compliment the dwarves present, she even flattered Gavin invisibly to improve his favorability among the dwarves.

Of course, what she said was true.

Her transformation of textile tools has indeed reached a limit - not only the limit of her ability, but also the limit of the entire industrial system of Dalaoma.

If she wants to go up, it is not something that can be done by one person, but a group of people - a group of people who are good at inventions and creations, leading the advancement of the entire industrial system.

And the dwarf inventor is one of the solutions recommended by Gavin to Nicole.

Longdel couldn't help but said in surprise: "Your Excellency the Conqueror means that you are willing to share the latest textile technology of Dalaoma with us?"

In the eyes of the dwarves, inventions and creations are the most valuable wealth. Even within the dwarves, it is difficult to share knowledge and technology.

Not to mention with foreign races, especially the new textile technology is one of the foundations of Dalaoma.

"Technology can only be innovated through communication. Staying closed will cause a huge waste of manpower and resources."

Gavin replied, "As long as you are willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, not only Dalaoma's textile technology, but also other technologies in my territory can be shared with you.

Correspondingly, I also have the priority to apply the technology you develop on this basis.

But I will not use it for free, but pay the corresponding fees according to the situation.

For the specific situation, I will discuss with the Invention Committee in detail to ensure that you can get the matching research and invention fees in this process and continue to invest in new research and inventions."

"If Your Excellency the Conqueror can really do this, it will definitely be a blessing for all inventors." Although the dwarf spokesman praised it, he was actually not optimistic.

Many things are deeply rooted and have been integrated into life and customs. How could they change drastically just because of one or two words from the other party?

Gavin seemed to see through the true thoughts of the dwarf spokesperson, and did not argue too much. He continued: "Paving the road is only the first step. The second step is to invest and set up factories here, build textile factories and garment factories according to needs, and strive to drive the local economy and let the residents here have a better life."

Many things are very empty with words alone, especially such secular affairs.

Instead of talking big, it is better to guide with actual benefits.

When those people see the practical benefits, they will naturally flock to it. This is a full use of profit-seeking.

This is his experience in the past three years.

Don't look at the object of his communication, it seems very open-minded and wise.

In fact, this is just an illusion.

In fact, because the level of education is too low, most intelligent life is ignorant and ignorant. In many cases, even if it is taught hand in hand, it is not enough.

He wants to start the industrial age, but he lacks a talent base.

This is why he is eager to build his own arcane academy. Talent reserve is the most urgent thing at present.

"We will consider it carefully."

The two rulers of Samis Hill gave an ambiguous answer.

The crowned people of the Wildas Forest may be the most difficult to convince, but once convinced, they will change the direction the most.

On the contrary, the halflings and dwarves of Samis Hill are the easiest to convince, but the change range is the smallest, and they are the easiest to change.

They will be like fence-sitters, constantly changing as the situation in the Kingdom of Tethyr develops.

This is determined by their way of survival.

This can only be achieved through infiltration and change in various aspects such as economy, culture and military, which is the job of Zalanda.

Gavin is only responsible for paving the way for her.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially this kind of secular envoy behavior, which is even more concerned.

Among them, the noble warlords of the Kingdom of Tethyr are the most concerned.

Zaze Sibo.

In the capital of the Kingdom of Tethyr, the royal palace meeting hall was filled with people, noisy like a morning market.

"I have said it many times before, Zalanda is an alien, she can't be on the same page with us, we should not tolerate her existence from the beginning, and we should completely eliminate her when she loses her footing."

"You said all the nice things, but every time when we really sent troops to fight, you hesitated and made all kinds of excuses, saying that your territory was attacked by monster tribes, or that the harvest was poor, and there was no food or money. You are no less responsible than us for letting her grow to this level!"

"Who would have thought that an unknown rural knight could develop to this level in such a short period of time?" (End of this chapter)
