Chapter 823: Colossus City Fully Restarted

"Report to the Lord, the Colossus Dungeon has been completely renovated and adjusted, and all staff have entered their work positions, ready to supply steam to the entire city at any time."

"Report to the Lord, all high-pressure steam pipelines in the mining area have been inspected and debugged, and all work and maintenance personnel are in place, ready to deal with emergencies at any time."

"Report to the Lord, the emergency rescue team is in place, and all non-staff members are evacuated from the Colossus City."

The gray dwarf chief Yuriu, the wandering dwarf king Jihalin and the Lord of the Colossus City, Shanoba, reported to Gavin in turn.

Gavin returned to the Colossus City this time, and was invited to participate in the Colossus City Steam Supply Restart Ceremony.

After more than a month of exploration, research and repeated experiments, the Colossus City is finally ready to usher in its former glory.

"Start." Gavin waved his hand heavily, and the heart of the mountains above his head burst into a brilliant khaki light, connecting with the entire Colossus Dungeon, just like a start key, completing the last piece of the incomplete puzzle.

He also had an excitement that he couldn't hide. Only by restoring the high-pressure steam power supply could this ancient dwarf mining area be complete, and only then could it burst out its amazing production capacity and lay a steel foundation for its explosive development in the future.

Let's not talk about other things for now. It won't be long before their building-type chariot carriages are no longer just composite wood boards, but will be equipped with a layer of iron armor to further enhance their defense capabilities.

"Start power supply!" The gray dwarf chief Yuliu roared loudly, and his body doubled at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a giant 2.6 meters tall, with rock-like muscles bulging high, and the super-large gate knife was forcibly boarded down by him.

The 17 carefully selected gray dwarf engineers behind him made the same move.

These gray dwarves have changed significantly compared to a month ago. Although their expressions are still gloomy (this is a natural appearance, there is no way), their expressions are full of expectations and vitality.

Although they have only followed Gavin for more than a month, they can clearly feel the difference between him and the Death Council.

Just as promised at the beginning, the new lord did not treat them as slaves, but as subjects. At least they were provided with enough food, water and other living supplies, and even limited alcoholic beverages, and were given a decent commission.

The latter two were just wishful thinking in the Council of the Chiefs of Death. The supplies they provided barely kept them fed and clothed.

The only difference from the real subjects was that their movements were still restricted and they could only move around in the Colossus Dungeon.

These gray dwarves also understood that after all, the two sides were still in the running-in period, and the young lord could not give them 100% trust now. Once they all ran away, there would be no one to operate the Colossus Dungeon for him.

As the eighteen gate knives fell, the energy-absorbing devices in the Colossus Dungeon that were cut off were fully operational, and the surrounding rock walls lit up with huge, simple dwarf rune characters, and the surrounding rocks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gavin, who used the prospecting technique, could see more than others. Rune magic pipes formed by dwarven runes spread along the rock layer to the surrounding area, and the deepest ones had already sunk into the magma layer below.

A large amount of geothermal heat was gathered and injected into the surrounding 18 high-pressure steam furnaces more than 20 meters high. Immediately, huge whistles sounded one after another, indicating that the steam inside had entered a boiling and high-pressure state.

The Colossus Dungeon has been operating at a low energy level. The water in the high-pressure steam furnace is boiling. Now it just increases the supply capacity, produces more steam, stabilizes the pressure in the steam storage room, and pumps the high-pressure steam to a farther and higher place.

"The pressure in the No. 1 steam storage room has reached the standard, and the first section of the energy supply has begun. The switch has been opened. No leaks, deformations, or abnormal noises have been found in the first section of the pipeline. The pressure has reached the standard, and the second section of the pipeline has begun to supply steam."

"The pressure in the No. 2 steam storage room has reached the standard, and the first section of the energy supply has begun..."

"The No. 3 steam storage room..."

Accompanied by the sound of reports, the high-pressure steam in the Colossus Dungeon began to be transported to various mining areas along the pipeline one section at a time.

Because of living in underground mines for many years, all dwarves have developed a rigorous and serious character, and their safety awareness is not ordinary. Especially for the dangerous high-pressure steam transportation in the Colossus Dungeon, it is extremely rigorous and has many safety settings.

This is the case for the dwarves of the Shanatar Kingdom, and the gray dwarves and shield dwarves who are now operating the Colossus City are also the same.

Because they are now hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters underground, once a large-scale explosion causes a landslide, they will be buried alive underground. Even if an emergency rescue team is arranged, it is estimated that only one in a hundred can escape alive.

Being rigorous and cautious is responsible for both yourself and your people.

Their rigorous character played a role again this time. As the high-pressure steam began to be transported upwards one by one, no section failed.

Hiss! Hiss!

Amid the crisp sound of high-pressure steam jets, the huge steel doors of each mine opened with a rumble.

The rebuilt cage also began to slowly climb up, reaching the top, and then slowly descended until it fell back into the Colossus dungeon.

"All mine doors are open, the cage is running successfully, the high-pressure steam in all high-pressure steam storage rooms is refluxed successfully, and the Colossus mine is restarted successfully."

"Cheer up, people of Shatana, after five thousand years, the ancient technology belonging to our dwarves has returned to this land again, and countless people will shout this name again, Shanata."

"Praise to Moradin, he has always protected us and allowed us to have such an opportunity."

"Praise to Durag, he protects us."

When they heard that the Colossus Mine had been successfully reopened, the dwarves, who were usually relatively serious and reserved, couldn't help but cheer and hug those around them. This was an extremely honorable thing for them.

"The whole city is celebrating tonight. We'll have enough wine and we won't go home until we're drunk." Gavin added fuel to the fire at the right time.

The news soon spread throughout the city of Colossus, eliciting even more enthusiastic praise and cheers.

After the restart ceremony of the Colossus Mining Area, Gavin did not return to the desperate eastern region. Instead, he went to find King Jihalin and asked warmly: "The patriarch is still adapting to life here."

"Adapting, adapting very well, it's like returning home. I can't remember when I got together with so many dwarves." The old dwarf king kept twirling his gray beard, his face was red, and his whole body was red. Everyone seems to be several decades younger.

It would be a lie to say I'm not excited.

A king with people is a real king. He has been a king for half his life, and he has only lived up to his name this month. Although he is still in someone else's territory, he is still a wandering king.

"That's good. I still rely on the clan leader to manage the future operations of this place." Gavin changed the subject and said, "When I come back this time, I have a new task for the clan leader."

"whats the matter?"

"The population of Colossus City is increasing. Even if there is a mushroom planting area in the mining area, it can only be used as a supplement. We must open up wasteland and grow food on the ground. Among them, the giant livestock produced in Blood Gorge City are one of our Big advantage.

We must equip them with special super-large plows. In addition, I am also planning to launch a new type of agriculture in the giant valley. There will be beast-shaped enlightenment trees similar to it, and special custom-made farming tools will also be required. "Gavin pointed at the beast-shaped enlightened tree that was teleported back with him.

It looks very similar to the battlefield heather. It also has six legs and a high-backed body similar to that of a lion. However, it is not made of thorns and vines, but thick tree trunks. Therefore, from a distance, it looks more like six legs. Legs of a majestic bull.

"This is not a difficult task." Jihalin readily agreed, "It's just a matter of changing the existing plows into plows."

"If we simply change the size, I won't bother the patriarch." Gavin is not so easily satisfied. "Not only farming machines, but also sowing and harvesting machines are needed to liberate the labor force to the greatest extent and achieve the goal of using the least amount of labor. The purpose of cultivating the most land.”

"A sowing machine? A harvesting machine?" Jiharin's expression couldn't help but become serious, because it was the first time he heard of such a machine.

"Don't just limit it to ordinary objects. You can start from the perspective of runes and magic. Many principles are interoperable. For example, a blower is just a two-ring wind-making technique that uses constant magic to stabilize a sword blade. If the cyclone is on the machine, it can be made into a crusher. If the items are constantly activated, they can even be made to move on their own..."

Gavin took out a manual from his arms and handed it to Jihalin and said, "These are some fantastic ideas about spells that I have accumulated in my daily life. Maybe there is some reference value in them. There are also some of my personal designs behind them." Draft, see if it has any reference value."

It is not so much a design draft as it is a magically modified version of modern tools, using magic to create modern equipment.

It's just that Gavin has never seen most of the large-scale farming equipment in his previous life. He only heard about it from hearsay. He can only list them and leave them to professionals like Jihalin to solve them.

"The lord's whimsical ideas are really unique. These destructive magics, once designed by you, have really become tools for construction and production." Jihalin looked at Gavin's manual and said, I couldn't help but marvel, "I'm afraid it's a bit too expensive to make this kind of equipment using magic constancy. This requires professional experience."

"I know, but once these production and construction tools are successfully manufactured, these professional experience will have the opportunity to be earned back exponentially. As long as they are continuously being produced and constructed, they will provide professional experience to the manufacturers, just like those forged by your blacksmiths. The powerful weapons are the same, but if they are used to slay dragons, they will also have a share of your contribution and bring you some professional experience, but the amount will be smaller. "

What Gavin was talking about was the principle of magic interaction in the entire multiverse. "Chief, you only need to provide technical support. As for the magic users, I will assign them separately."

"No need." Jihalin waved his hand and said, "The rune magic of our dwarves is a system that is completely different from ordinary magic. They are created for the purpose of forging and carving. I will first recruit the elites from the clan and follow our methods. try.

According to my forging experience, the more things you incorporate into it, the better. That will only make things more complicated.

If one path doesn't work, it's a wise choice to choose another path. "

"Okay." Gavin said cheerfully, "In this regard, Patriarch, you are professionals. Just follow the Patriarch's instructions on everything."

"Actually, I also have something to entrust to the lord."

"What's the matter? Just say it, patriarch."

"I plan to select a thousand young and strong dwarves to form an expeditionary force and follow the lord to the desperate eastern region." Jihalin laid out his plan, "We have been separated for too long. Many of the old soldiers of Taesaama who are good at group combat have died, and most of the younger generation have no war experience.

I hope to take this opportunity to increase their legion combat experience and prepare for the counterattack on Taesaama. The lord is the elect of Lady Strategy and is a master of military tactics. I believe they will have more training opportunities in your hands and their safety will be guaranteed."

"I have heard that the dwarf heavy infantry is best at fighting in mountains and tunnels, and is an indestructible stone. It would be a great honor for me to command such an army." Gavin changed the subject and said, "But the Tukans are mainly light cavalry. Once they cross Lake Asen, they have no defense.

In this regard, you dwarves do not have an advantage. Momentum.

Moreover, the enemy and our forces are both in the hundreds of thousands, and there are very few places where a thousand dwarf heavy infantry can play a role.

I am afraid that even if Ms. Strategy comes in person, she dare not guarantee their absolute safety. I cannot bear this responsibility.

If you want to train troops, there is no need to go to the East Region of Despair. You have a chance here.

The Troll Mountains behind us have never had a chance to be completely wiped out because of the lack of strong mountain infantry.

The Giant Plains has only achieved a temporary balance. As long as there is a slight twist, a bloody conflict will break out.

The envoy of the Council of Death Chiefs arrived ten days ago and has been hanging outside. I believe that things will not be easily let go, and it is very likely that force will be used.

Therefore, the role of you staying in Colossus City is far greater than your going to the East Region of Despair. "

His analysis is comprehensive, including both the advantages of the enemy and us, and the situation around Colossus City.

Jiha Lin couldn't help nodding his head after listening to half of it, and finally sighed: "People can't refuse to admit that they are old. In terms of the overall situation, I am not as good as the Lord. I thought wrong about this matter. I will listen to the Lord's arrangement."

"The chief is modest." Gavin laughed at Jiha Lin's self-deprecation and didn't believe it at all.

Jiha Lin didn't see the situation clearly, but had to make a choice.

After all, Colossus City is Gavin's territory, and they are guests here.

Being able to gather the tribesmen here on a large scale has already set a precedent, not to mention taking the initiative to propose to form an army here, which is definitely a taboo.

At the least, they will be expelled.

At the worst, they will fight with swords.

But if the formed legion is transferred to the desperate East Region thousands of kilometers away and serves under Gavin, it will be another matter.

After a moment of contemplation, Gavin took the initiative to suggest: "Since the chieftain is willing to train soldiers and organize his own legion, why don't we cooperate more thoroughly.

I will specially select several exclusive priests of Ms. Strategy to teach you strategies and tactics.

If the heavy armor of the Shanatar dwarves in the mining area is changed to armor suitable for other intelligent creatures, it will take a lot of effort. It is better to directly arm the dwarf warriors selected by the chieftain.

There is no limit to the number. The chieftain can form as many as he wants, as long as it does not delay the normal operation and research and development tasks of the mining area."

Jihalin has his own calculations, and Gavin also has his own plans.

The dog-headed people in the Colossus City are mainly developing in the direction of engineers and air forces. It must also have a strong infantry to deal with various challenges.

Although one day, after the restoration of the Kingdom of Tessama, these dwarves may leave.

But it is not known how many years it will be. For Gavin, a few months can produce huge changes, let alone a few years.

Maybe, at that time, he will not lack these dwarves.

Gavin is very confident about this.

As for whether Jiharin will have evil thoughts after he has mastered his army.

If Gavin just wants to build a mortal empire, he does need to consider and be on guard.

But now, he is rushing towards the road of becoming a god. If Jiharin has a little wisdom, he will not do stupid things to betray him.

Even if he really does it, he now has enough means to deal with it.

Relying on the teleportation attack of the road statue is not a boast. The mines deep underground in the Colossus City are also a kind of road and are also within the radiation range.

In short, make sure you are strong enough, so strong that Jiharin can only look up, and the situation of betrayal will not happen.

He will also arrange the necessary precautions.

At that time, he will arrange this dwarf army to frequently fight foreign wars in the name of training, and will not give them the opportunity to stay in the Colossus City for a long time.

After hearing Gavin's suggestion, Chief Jihalin was stunned and said in disbelief: "Is what the Lord said true? Can we form our own army in Colossus City?"

He has been wandering for more than three centuries and has traveled through most of Faerun.

Not to mention allowing him to form an army, even an ancient empire like the Kingdom of Cormier only allows him to keep 500 dwarves around him. Even so, those battle wizard spies have been circling around them.

The young lord in front of him not only handed over the crucial mines to them, but also allowed them to summon tribesmen here without restrictions, and now even released the crucial military power.

Is he a political novice who doesn't know how powerful it is?

Or does he have something else to rely on and is not worried about them taking over the nest?

Gavin said solemnly: "Patriarch, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my original promise and covenant. As long as you cooperate with me wholeheartedly, I will do my best to support your restoration of the Kingdom of Taeserama. Whether you succeed in restoring your country or not, the Colossus City is your home, and the door here is always open to all the strong liquor races.

This is the only thing I can give back to the strong liquor race for the grace I have received from the Shanata Kingdom.

If we don't even have this most basic trust, how can we conspire for great things? How can we defeat the evil entrenched in the Kingdom of Taeserama? How can we let it see the light of day again?"
