Broad World

Lina looked at the dazed female mage in front of her and thought: Could this woman be the mentor in charge of teaching the apprentices. Thinking of this, she tugged at her brother's clothes and asked, "Brother, who is this sister?"

"Her name is Debra, and she is responsible for teaching all the apprentices here. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask her." Henry lowered his head and explained to his sister.

Debra quickly came back to her senses when she heard the words of the two brothers and sisters. She bent down and said to Lina: "You are welcome to join the Mage Tower. There are more than 30 apprentices here besides you. But they are much older. I believe you will get along well. Although your brother is the master here, you'd better not expect to get too much care."

"I don't need any special care. I will complete all my studies with my own efforts." After speaking, Lina raised her head proudly.

"I like your pride and ambition, and I hope you can persevere in the future." After speaking, Debra raised her head and said to Henry: "Master, give her to me. I believe that your sister will become a powerful mage in the future. She has this potential."

Henry patted his sister's head and said to her seriously: "You must be obedient in the future, and don't do naughty things in the Mage Tower. You must know that any magic experiment out of control may lead to the death of a mage. I don't want to see you injured. If I send you to conduct dangerous experiments secretly, I will drive you home immediately, understand?"

Lina was taken aback by her brother's words, and then she nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, I won't do things that are beyond my control, only a fool would do that." Hearing what his sister said, Henry breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said to Debra: "Lena will leave it to you in the future. I think you should know how to guide. You know about her. I have very high expectations."

"Don't worry. I understand what it means to be a ten-year-old apprentice." After speaking, she took Lina to arrange a room for her.

After seeing the two leave, Henry came to the place where the gray dwarves lived. Seeing him, Tenoben immediately knelt down and asked, "Master, do you have any orders here?"

Henry looked around and found that the place had been divided into small rooms one by one, and these gray dwarves had already started to form their own families. "Tenoben, have you seen the waterfall outside the mage's tower?"

The gray dwarf leader nodded. "Yes, master, it's really spectacular there. You can't see it when you're underground."

"I want to build a dam. I don't know if you have any solution." Henry directly put forward his request. He had always wanted to build a small hydroelectric power station. There are many technologies on this earth that can be used. He has already thought up a series of technology research and development plans, all of which must use electricity.

Tenoben lowered his head and thought for a while, then squatted on the ground to write and draw. It took him ten minutes to stand up. "Master, I did some calculations just now. If you want to build a dam longer than ten meters, you need the power of the mage tower to do it. Because the flow of the river outside is too fast, if the dam is too high, it will probably be washed away the moment the water is released."

Henry thought about it, and felt that it was better to accept his suggestion, and it would be safer to use magic reinforcement. "Tomorrow, you will bring people to intercept the river, and I will give you the blueprint of the dam in a few days. After it is completed, use the power of the mage tower to turn the entire dam into a huge rock."

The gray dwarf leader breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Henry would be as unreasonable as the mind flayers or dark elves in the subterranean world. "Understood, I will lead everyone to start work tomorrow. In addition, a lot of wooden crossbows you requested have been made. They are all placed in the No. 2 workshop, which is now full of piles."

"Understood, I will send someone to take these things away as soon as possible. You have performed well recently, and the supply of drinks will be doubled from tomorrow." After speaking, he left the underground and went to his workshop. When the gray dwarves heard the news that the drink was doubled, they cheered immediately, but they hadn't had a good drink for a long time.

When he came to the workshop, Henry immediately took out a piece of parchment and began to design the structure of the dam. According to his idea, the drop must be at least 20 meters, and then three hydroelectric generators of about 500 kilowatts will be built. According to the drop and flow rate of the river outside, about 8 million kWh of electricity can be stored a year. He spent more than a day drawing this blueprint, and then asked the golem to deliver the blueprint to Tenoben.

In the following days, apart from checking the progress of the dam every day, Henry spent the rest of his time making hydroelectric generators. Tenoben quickly led the gray dwarves to intercept the river, and they slowly began to build the dam with a lot of stones and soil. In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and the construction of the entire dam has been basically completed.

Henry commanded the golem immediately after getting the news, installed several hydroelectric generators at the gate, and then he used a third of the energy reserves of the mage tower to turn the entire dam into solid rock. Finally, he connected the cable from the underground of the mage tower to the generator. After checking it himself and finding nothing wrong, he notified the gray dwarves to cut off the blocked river. The high-speed water flow violently hit the embankment along the river, and gushed out along the pre-designed gate. Driven by the water flow, the generator turned up quickly, and the electricity was continuously delivered to the elemental pool of the mage tower for storage.

After seeing the success of his design, Henry's face was full of smiles, and he could finally start to make some high-tech things in the future. The sharp increase in energy in the mage tower quickly attracted the attention of Amy and Debra. When the two came to the river, they saw the huge dam and the high-speed rotating generator at a glance.

Debra stepped forward impatiently and asked, "Master, is it the energy generated by these devices?"

"Yes, but I can't explain the specific principles to you now. If you are interested, you can go to the library to find information about electricity, which contains detailed explanations." Henry answered Debra's question cryptically. He didn't want to popularize scientific knowledge in the public.

The female mage secretly wrote down these nouns in her heart, and planned to go to the book to find them out and study them carefully.

Amy walked over with a smile and asked, "Master, can we increase our daily energy ration appropriately in the future?"

Henry nodded. "No problem, but don't exceed too much. I have other uses for this energy. Now let's go back and summon some water elemental guards here. I don't want this dam to be destroyed by others." After finishing speaking, he returned to the bondage of the mage tower.

Ten minutes later, Henry connected to the water element world, and many water elements were attracted. He carefully communicated with these elemental creatures, and after discussing for a while, he reached an agreement. After opening the portal and summoning these water elements, he brought these guys near the dam. Seeing these water elements began to patrol back and forth in the river, Henry returned to the Mage Tower with peace of mind to continue his research.

As soon as Debra returned to the Wizard's Tower, she plunged into the library. She found all kinds of books about electricity hidden on the last shelf. Before changing it, she never looked down on these books that could not improve the level of mages. However, since seeing the increase in the energy reserves of the mage tower, she has become interested in this knowledge.

With the sufficient supply of energy, everyone including the apprentice increased the number of their experiments. Henry plunged into the notes of Helast's black robe and began to study how to increase his casting speed. As the days passed, his casting speed had also increased significantly. Now it has been recognized by the system, casting speed -1. After Debra finished reading all the books about electricity, she went to the dam every day to observe the working condition of the generator.

Just when autumn was about to enter, there was a news from Robert that the Harpist had established a secret stronghold in Blue Winter City. After getting the news, Henry immediately put down everything and went directly to the location of the Thieves Guild. As soon as he saw Robert, he immediately asked: "Where is the Harpist's stronghold, how many are there, and what is their specific purpose?"

The leader of the thieves took out a map from his body, pointed out a building and replied, "It's here, all of them are half-elves. There are not many of them, probably less than ten of them. After coming here, they didn't make any big moves, just occasionally inquiring about the news. I think the task of these people may be just to monitor, if you need, I can kill them all tonight."

Henry shook his head when he heard Robert’s words. The Harper Alliance is a huge organization, and their backstages are all voters of the Goddess of Magic. It is obviously the most stupid choice to be hostile to it, and it is not in one's own interest. After thinking for a while, Henry said to Robert: "Don't act rashly for now, just monitor their actions secretly. I will find time to visit them in person in the next few days and see what the purpose is."

Robert looked at him worriedly. "Master, you'd better bring more people with you when you go, I'm afraid they might be against you."

Henry nodded when he heard it, he felt that what Robert said made sense. You must know that any large-scale organization such as the Harper is a mixture of various spies. Although I have a little friendship with Kelben and Laila, I can't stand the deliberate instigation of someone behind the scenes. After making up his mind, he said to Robert: "Come with me tomorrow morning, and I want to see what tricks these guys are playing."

"Please don't worry, I have arranged many people around this building. As long as they dare to do something, they will all be killed within a few minutes. I have arranged two of the giant crossbows you gave me to face the gate of the house."

Henry patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Tomorrow's security issue will be handed over to you, I hope nothing will go wrong." )
