Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid

When Nogfogg led people to explore Tanaris, he left his family on Kezan Island because of the difficult environment here. It wasn't until the construction of Gadgetzan New City was completed a few months ago that Nogforger brought his family over.

All of these Li De knew, but it didn't stop there. He didn't know much about Noge Fogg's family. At this time, Noog Fogg's daughter suddenly broke into the venue to meet her, which made Li De feel a little bit. Don't get your head around.

"This girl knows how to cause trouble. I'm sorry everyone, I'll drive her back now."

Nogfogg got up while apologizing to everyone, but Li De asked with a smile.

"Since this kid said he came to see me, why did you stop him?"

Nogfogg helplessly put his hand on his forehead.

"We're discussing important matters here, so there's no time to take care of a child."

The saying that time is money is carved into the bones of goblins. Nogfogg puts efficiency above everything else, but Li De is very open to it.

"Although the time is tight, I still have time to solve a child's doubts. Let the child meet me. What if what she wants to say is really important?"

Nogfogg shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to agree to such an arrangement, but what he thought was that his daughter should not embarrass himself by talking nonsense.

Having received a clear reply, Martin Leigh opened the door and led Nogfogg's daughter in.

It was a little goblin girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was not taller than a conference table. Li De got up and left his seat, squatted in front of the little goblin girl and asked.

"Hello little boy, what's your name?"

The little girl showed no stage fright, and looked at Li De curiously with her big round eyes.

"My name is Jenny, are you Li Deduhu?"

Li De smiled and nodded.

"That's right, I'm Li De, why are you so eager to see me?"

Jenny, who is a big kid, is a little dissatisfied with Li De's tone that is obviously coaxing children.

"I heard that you are soliciting engineering technology projects. I am doing a research recently, but my father does not support me."

The little girl has fallen in love with Gadgetzan since she was picked up by Norgefogg a few months ago. From her father, she learned that Du Hu was searching for valuable projects, which gave this smart little girl a bold idea.

And hearing her daughter say this, Nogfogg was a little angry on the spot.

"Go, go, what kind of mess is a child doing? I said that I don't have the heart to play with you. Your handmade toys are not even an introduction to engineering."

Nogfogg has a high level of engineering. In his opinion, qualified engineering products are precision products that combine mathematics and mechanics, and require Kaya crystals as power. Naturally subconscious to the handmade products of little girls. to deny.

"Humph~"

The little girl was used to her father's denial, and was not very angry, she just stuck her tongue out at Nogfogg.

"You just look down on people. I went to the working area of ​​​​the port to see that even if Mr. Polillo operates the spinning wheel himself, he is not as efficient as me."

Naturally, Nogforge didn't believe the little girl's excuse.

"Can you correct your big talk? Mr. Polilo is a high-level tailor, and he can't compare to you..."

At this moment, Li De interrupted Nogfogg's words.

"Little Jenny, you mean you made a spinning machine?"

"Ok."

Jenny raised her head, looking a little proud.

At first, Li De really just wanted to appease the children's emotions, but at this moment he paid more attention to this matter.

If there are four words to describe the technology tree of the world of Azeroth, it is "a mess". It has extremely developed metallurgical forging technology, even to the extent of knocking locomotives and mechas by hand; but it is the extreme roughness of light handicraft industry.

"Mr. Polilo" in the mouths of the goblin father and daughter refers to Giorgio Polilo, a senior tailor who is in charge of rope making and tailoring workshops in the work area.

This senior tailor has a very high level of skills, the most commendable of which is that he can operate two spinning wheels at the same time, spinning two yarns at the same time, and the yarns spun are uniform in thickness and durable.

That's right, the textile technology in the world of Azeroth is still at the level of a single-thread spinning wheel.

To summarize, the spinning process is to twist animal and plant fibers into continuous threads. The most primitive way is to twist fibers into threads by hand.

Further development on this basis is to use a large roller to drive a small shaft to rotate at a high speed. This high-speed rotating shaft is also called a spindle.

The arranged fibers are twisted and twisted to form a thread and fixed on the spindle. During the high-speed rotation of the shaft, the fibers are twisted into a continuous yarn because of the friction between them.

The person operating the spinning wheel must turn the wheel with one hand and hold the arrangement of the fibers with the other so that the yarn will not be torn off. Therefore, the production efficiency of such a single-thread and single-spindle spinning wheel is very low. Even a skilled worker can only spin 3 pounds of thread a day.

Like Bolero operating a foot-operated spinning wheel, using the pedals to turn the rollers, he can use his hands to control the arrangement of the fibers in his hands and spin two threads at the same time.

Under such circumstances, the linen, wool, silk, magicweave, runecloth and other fabrics in the world of Azeroth are regarded as treasured materials, and in some cases can even replace currency, while the reuse rate is extremely high. high.

So, how could Li De not be excited when Jenny said that she had made a more efficient spinning machine?

"I'm looking forward to seeing the spinning machine you made now, but our meeting is not over yet... so be it."

Speaking of which, Li De looked at Martin Lei.

"In a while, you and Primilo will accompany our little friend Jenny, and bring her invention here. After we finish the meeting, let everyone comment. Remember, I need you to keep it strictly confidential during this process."

Martin Lei's body tightened, Li De rarely gave such an order. He looked at Jenny in confusion, is this little girl really that important?

"Jenny, will you take your invention with you and wait in the next room for a while, okay?"

After confirming that Li De was not perfunctory, Jenny nodded happily, and brought Martin Leigh and the others home to get her baby.

"Tuhu, you don't really believe a child's words, do you? I've seen her make it before. It's very rough, and it's hard to put it into practical use."

Nogfogg saw Li De's expectations for this, and he was taking precautions in his words.

Li De returned to his seat and signaled Nogfogg to take it easy.

"Trust your child's creativity. Many adults lose this valuable quality, and sometimes they really surprise you."

For the meeting, this was just a small episode, and then Li De signaled that the reporting work should proceed downwards.

In addition to the previous ones, the most important is the gold mining in Tanaris. In the past month or so, two rich mines have been discovered, with conservatively estimated reserves of more than 3 million gold coins, and the mining volume in just over a month. 50,000 gold coins can be minted.

Li De is still very happy about this incident. With the huge amount of gold, the fault tolerance rate of the Hanhai Duhu during the development process has been greatly increased, and there are more opportunities to try and make mistakes.

After all the work was reported, Li De began to introduce his future arrangements to everyone.

The management of the belief in trolls has been negotiated before, and it is implemented step by step. As for the cultural construction project, Li De plans to set up a new history college, an engineering college and a theater in Gadgetzan, which will be connected with the previous language college and monastery to create a new A "college city".

Among them, Li De personally serves as the dean of the School of History, and hires Takshiro as a consultant; the dean of the School of Engineering will be concurrently served by Bigowitz; the management of the theater will be handed over to Haggard.

Needless to say, the School of Engineering put forward this idea long before Li De went to Zandalar, with the purpose of cultivating more scientific and technological talents to improve the primary productive force. And history schools and theaters have left many people a little puzzled.

To this end, Li De patiently explained that not everyone is keen on religious beliefs. In addition to religious beliefs, there are cultural identities that can shape social consensus.

If the history academy is dedicated to the study of history and to provide the greatest common divisor as much as possible for each social composition, then the theater is an effective way to popularize history and culture to the public.

At the same time, the theater can also develop the tertiary industry through services such as selling tickets and performances. Immediately, the Shining Plains will host this season's motorcycle race, and there will be a large number of tourists pouring into Gadgetzan.

The last time the game was tentative, the number of visitors reached 10,000. Li De said that Duhu officials would not be too involved in the gaming business, but Li De could not ignore so many potential customers.

Through the business of Nogfogg, the official launched a wave of cultural tourism promotion and provided theatrical performances for those tourists during the games. It is not too easy to earn this money.

After saying all their intentions, everyone praised the plan, and a consensus was reached very smoothly.

The entire meeting, in which the relationship between Hanhai and the next stage of development is protected, has almost ended successfully. At the end, Li Decai raised the most important issue: participating in the orc war.
