Lord of War

183. Arrogance [Sixth Update]

The stone factory located within the three walls of Blackstone Town really occupied a large street just as Elsie said.

The stone factory is not an ordinary small house, but a huge factory building that is very similar to the factories on the earth. Taking a rough look, Xiao En estimated that this stone factory would have to have dozens of acres of land, which was much larger than the manor of Elsie, a poor lord. It's just that I don't know if the stone factory is really so full, or there is something else inside.

Under the leadership of Elsie, Sean soon came to the gate of the stone factory.

Before entering, I heard the roaring sound from inside, as if a large number of machines were working.

The world of Miracle Continent is not purely a world of swords and magic.

Not to mention the magical technology that is destined to flourish in the future, and can even easily change the national structure and the course of history. In modern times alone, there are three major technological development directions: the steam technology of goblins, the alchemy technology of Overlooking the Spire, and the biotechnology of Hayerson Research Institute, and among them, the steam technology of goblins has the widest application range—of course, it will also be the fastest in the future. It was eliminated because magic technology is the product of a comprehensive combination of magic and technological development, no matter in terms of performance or function, it can completely eliminate steam technology.

But right now, steam technology is still the mainstream of many industrial applications in the world.

The stone factory in Blackstone Town can make such a loud roar. Sean estimates that there must be at least three kingdom-level steam engines in it. Noise pollution is also one of the important reasons why steam technology has been completely replaced by magic technology. Once the outer city gate of Tonis Fortress is in operation, the roaring sound can be transmitted ten miles away. The sound of the six imperial-level steam-powered engines is by no means that simple. It is rumored that they are responsible for starting these powers and working together to turn the city gate gear. Those one hundred manpower even had to wear five defensive spells to be able to block the terrible noise interference.

The stone factory itself did not restrict the entry of outsiders. It seemed that the factory manager was very happy for someone to visit his factory.

So, Sean also saw the three kingdom-level steam engines located in the stone factory.

Each of these large power machines looks like a giant, about ten meters high, nearly fifteen meters long, four meters wide, and rectangular in shape. On the left and right sides are huge movable rulers, and on the front is a thing similar to a boiler, with five nuclear crystals of fire-type monsters built in. Once this kind of power machine is started, the nuclear crystal will generate a steady stream of high-temperature heat, which will evaporate the water stored behind the power machine into steam, and then drive the movable rulers on the left and right sides to run quickly to generate powerful power.

The biggest advantage of this steam-powered machine is that it does not require human supervision, and the reserve water source of each steam-powered machine can ensure that the power machine can work for three days without stopping. However, because the stone factory does not start work after nightfall, the reserved water source can generally be used for about six days. Usually, on the seventh day, the stone factory will start to arrange manpower to transport water back for refilling. This is a place that consumes more manpower. .

Later, Xiao En saw how the stone factory made black steel stones.

It's just that this production method made him feel a bit different, because they actually threw a large piece of black reef rock into a machine, and then used the powerful stirring force generated by steam power to blow the black reef The stubborn stone is crushed and ground into powder. Afterwards, it is transported to another work area for manual processing. It seems to be poured into some other unknown things that are also powder, and finally mixed with water to condense and poured into the model.

After solidification, remove the mold and pour it out, and then go through several other reinforcement processes to make black steel stone.

This kind of stone-making process gave Sean the feeling that it was made of cement on the earth. Of course, the production process is a little more complicated, and the black steel stone produced is also stronger than cement.

"These are black steel stones?" For some reason, Sean always felt that spending so much money on these things seemed a bit of a loss.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Elsie asked back, "Okay, you have finished the tour, let's go quickly. The stone factory will be closed soon, and it usually closes at night. I don't know why. It’s really strange that it’s still open today.”

Elsie really thinks that Sean just wants to visit the stone factory. Regarding this point, Sean was already too lazy to explain. Even if he could explain to Elsie clearly why he wanted to go out alone as a lord, Elsie would still have many reasons to overthrow it.

For example, wouldn't it be good to just send someone here for such a trivial matter? Or no lord is so free.

Although these strange reasons seem to be very tangled, Sean really doesn't know how to answer them. So he didn't bother arguing with this idiot, anyway, as long as Xiao En knew what he was going to come to Mordegg's collar. As for being invited to Elsie's manor, Sean didn't think it mattered. Anyway, he would have a lot of time for the next month and a half, as long as he placed the order on the way back.

"Master Elsie, why are you here?" Just as Elsie was about to take Sean away, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

Sean and Elsie turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a skinny figure like a monkey walking forward. There are two other people beside him, but these two people seem to have a lot of background, just from the arrogance exuded by each other, it can be concluded that these two people must be of noble origin. But in such a barren place like Modeg, how could there be two nobles with obvious identities appearing in "Baidu ★Xiangxiang★Text"? And he still came to find the director of the stone factory, which made Xiao En feel a little curious.

However, Elsie didn't seem to be very interested in this. After seeing this skinny monkey-like factory manager, he smiled and said hello. Of course, from the point of view of etiquette, Elsie's approach is impeccable, because he not only greeted the factory manager, but also greeted the two nobles, but in exchange for the two of them with extremely soft nasal voices. Just hum.

Even the director of the factory didn't treat Elsie with the attitude that a commoner should have. Instead, he looked arrogant.

"Who is this?" Finally, the skinny monkey factory director was willing to cast his miserly eyes on Xiao En.

"I'm here to purchase black steel stones on behalf of Black Swan Castle." Before Elsie could speak, Sean said first, "This time the purchase volume is 5,000 stones, and the demand for the first batch of shipments is More than three thousand."

"Black Swan Castle?" A young nobleman standing next to the skinny monkey suddenly said, although his face showed some doubts, but his voice and tone were full of contempt, "Black Swan When did the castle gain a lord? Why don't we know."

"Are you a prophet?" Since the other party spoke in such a bad manner, Sean was not a coward like Elsie, so of course there was no need to be humble.

The other party's face was a little dazed, as if he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

"Since you are not a prophet, how can you possibly know everything in this world?" Sean said the second half of the sentence calmly, "It is important to be self-aware. Don't be delusional and always feel You can do everything by yourself, in fact, you are not that good at it.”

Slightly provoked by Xiao En's words, the young nobleman's face turned ugly, but before he could refute, another young nobleman said, "I'm really sorry, about the black steel We have just negotiated with the factory manager of Daisy about the situation of black steel stones. The only 4,000 pieces of black steel stones left in stock have been supplied to us, and the 6,000 pieces of black steel stones we will produce will also be given priority. Give us."

Although the nobleman's tone and attitude were relatively modest, the aloofness in his words did not change in the slightest. And his immediate intentions are very obvious. We ordered 10,000 black steel stones. If you only order 5,000, you should stand aside.

"Have you paid the deposit yet?" Sean asked back.

When asked by Sean, the young nobleman smiled: "No. Our Wiles family never needs to pay a deposit in advance, because our family name alone is a guarantee!"

When he said this, the noble young man showed a look of fanatical admiration on his face, and he had a real sense of honor and pride for his family.

And from the other party's words, Sean also immediately judged the identity and origin of this nobleman.

The Wiles family, this is a relatively powerful family with a very good reputation. They are not the nobles of the Dabion Kingdom, but the powerful nobles of the Fascist Kingdom, the neighboring country of the Dabion Kingdom. The strong man is said to have maintained a good relationship with some of the top ten business associations.

However, what this family is really famous for is the base camp where the core of the family is located - Black Rose Castle. As one of the five largest castles in the south of the mainland with the same reputation as the Black Swan Castle, the Black Rose Castle is a truly veritable war fortress. The dark and dark red cool colors make this castle have extremely powerful defense capabilities and fortifications. The only pity What's worse is that the Black Rose Castle is just a castle after all, not a real fortress, so it can only accommodate a few hundred soldiers at most.

But right now, since the Black Rose Castle has come to purchase black steel stones, and the purchase volume is still so large, it is by no means as simple as renovation. Most likely, it is to expand the architectural layout of the entire castle - this matter, Sean had never heard of it in the game. Could it be that the history of this world has begun to really change?

But the most important point right now is that if the black steel stone that Xiao En wants to buy disappears like this, he will be very upset.

And someone upset Sean, of course Sean would not let the other party be happy: "What's the use of guarantees? In the fascist kingdom, on average, one nobleman goes bankrupt every day, and even wants to sell the family property. Who knows if it will be his turn tomorrow?" You Wiles family."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two nobles from the Wiles family immediately became solemn and fierce: "I ask you to apologize immediately, otherwise, we will..."

"Want to fight my nobleman? Be careful that you will risk your life." Sean sneered, not paying attention to the two noblemen, "I have already paid a deposit to Lord Elsie before. In terms of order, I was one step ahead of you. Do you want black steel stones? Yes, let’s talk about it after I get the five thousand yuan.”

"Wait!" The factory manager named Daisy immediately had an opinion, "I have always managed the Black Stone Stone Factory! When is it Elsie's turn to collect the deposit!"

"What's your last name?" Sean cast a cold glance at the skinny monkey jumping up and down.

"Po*kage!"

"If I remember correctly, this stone factory should be the property of the Boulder family, right?" Sean said coldly, "Since you are not from the Boulder family, then this family property is in name Naturally, it belongs to Lord Elsie. Don't say "Baidu ★Xiangxiang★Text" that you are in charge, even if you have collected all the deposits or remuneration, all the money must be handed over to Lord Elsie without any change. When is it your turn to call the shots. "

"What does Elsie the brat know..."

"Are you a nobleman?" Sean interrupted the thin-skinned monkey without thinking, "If your title is not higher than that of Lord Elsie, then you'd better be more cautious in what you say, otherwise you will be treated as a nobleman." According to the law, those who disrespect the nobles will be punished with thirty court sticks."

This time, the thin-skinned monkey didn't dare to speak casually, but stared at Xiao En with resentful eyes. ......
