  The Three Illusion Gods is the nickname of Darkus. They are his spouse Drusala from the Tower of Prophecy in Grond. They are proficient in the dark system, the death system and the shadow system. After further study in the continent of Lustria, He also mastered the life system and metal system, and now became a five-element warlock.

  Colonia Hellscourge, Darkus's cousin, a scholar with a surly personality who has traveled half of the world. Like Drusala, she is proficient in Druchi's representative three-line magic. She graduated from Krakarond's Tower of Destruction also masters the life and metal systems.

  The other is Alyssa Takaia, who also graduated from the Tower of Destruction in Krakarond. Due to her qualifications, she is only proficient in beast magic. After further studies in Lustria, she also learned life magic.

  As for the two sent out, one is the high-level shadow sorceress Hagelin from the cold-eyed family of Krakalond. She is Dastan's aunt and has fought side by side with Darkus more than once.

  After chatting with Hagelin, Darkus decided to send Hagelin to the Slann Demon Priest for further training. The power of the Lengyan family was on the sea, and he planned to transfer Hagelin to Stormweaver.

  The other one is Whitney, the sorceress who invented the cotton gin. She came from the common class of Krakarond and graduated from the Tower of Destruction. After she invented the cotton gin, Darkus promised to send her to Anasara for further education, after spending a large amount of money to buy horse bones. However, after several years of hard work, it never came to fruition.

  As a sorceress who maintains the furnace, Whitney also followed the Black Ark Fleet to the continent of Lustria this time. Not long ago, she presented several of her mediocre new inventions to Darkus.

  A useless Davy lamp, this lamp consists of a wick lamp with a flame enclosed within a copper mesh screen. The screen acts as a flame arrester, allowing air or any biogas present to pass freely through the mesh to support combustion, but the mesh is too fine to allow flames to travel through the mesh and ignite any biogas outside the mesh.

  The Davy lamp also provides a test function for the presence of gases. If a flammable gas mixture is present, the lamp's flame will burn higher and take on a bluish tinge. The lamp comes with a metal gauge to measure the height of the flame. Miners can place safety lights close to the ground to detect gases that are denser than air, such as carbon dioxide, and the lights will go out if the mine air is starved of oxygen. .

  What’s interesting is that in Darkus’ previous life, the invention of the David’s lamp did not effectively reduce mine explosions and the deaths of miners. This is just like people who drowned usually were people who knew how to swim. With the invention of the David’s lamp, miners began to The miners also used candles for excavating in dangerous passages that had been abandoned due to safety issues. In addition, because Davie lamps could only emit weak light, the miners used candles for lighting. The results are self-evident.

  This thing is good, but Dacus won't be able to use it for the time being. The silver mine in Potosi doesn't need this thing, it can be mined in the open. The only ones in need now are the labor dispatchers in Hagrid Grave's Dark Rock, but he has no interest in being redundant. If you want to use it, use it. If you don't want to use it, pull it down. He won't do anything to force it.

  That's Naggaroth, not Cawchen Plains.

  The other thing is so evil that Darkus can't even figure out how it was created. This thing is very crude, thick and big, and consists of only a few parts. About ten meters high, it is in the shape of an inverted Y, with large sleepers on both sides supporting the two legs of the inverted Y shape.

  It is very simple to operate. First use flame magic to heat the water and turn it into steam. The high-pressure steam is transported to the top of the piston of the thing through the pipe system, and falls under the action of gravity when the pressure is released. When the piston descends, the hammer head contacts the workbench or workpiece, producing a strong impact force. This enables the workpiece to be plastically deformed and forged in a short time. After the piston descends, the steam will be discharged from the cylinder chamber through the discharge valve, ready for the next cycle.

  It wasn't until Darkus figured out how this thing worked that he roughly knew what it was. It should be a steam hammer that was widely used before the advent of hydraulic devices.

  The question is what about steam? What about the steam engine? What's the point of being powered by magic? This technology was originally a technology that would only appear after the steam engine appeared, but it actually appeared before the steam engine. It can only be said that the fantasy world is full of wonders.

  Industrial Revolution? What doesn't exist is only industrial stereotypes and card-drawing technology. Moreover, this card drawing method is not like a game called Stellaris that requires unlocking pre-requisite technology first.

  According to Whitney, labor dispatch was first used to pull the hammer by pulling the iron cable like a backward tug-of-war, but this would cause various problems such as uneven force. Later, animal power was used, and finally this method was chosen.

  Darkus thought about how convenient it would be to have giants guide him around without giants, just like... pounding garlic. And he also asked Whitney why he wanted to use magic to heat it? Rather than the entire device that can heat hot water? As a result, Whitney told him that he had done it before, but due to the absence of his three magic gods, the airtightness of the device was not good, and two big explosions occurred. There would be overheating problems, so he came up with the idea of ​​sending Whitney to the Slann Demon Priest to learn metal magic.

  This air hammer looks very, very good to Darkus. He likes this kind of silly, big, black and thick thing, uncomplicated, simple and clear. But it is very useful. The outer armor of the plundering ship, the covering armor of the behemoth, siege equipment, etc. can all use this big thing. For a moment, he thought about my big cousin from the Cataclysm. The black dragon's fragile long neck and belly are in great need of armor made of lithium steel, as are the behemoths of the Lustria continent. Before the air hammer, small parts needed to be made and finally spliced ​​into a whole piece, but the emergence of the air hammer solved this problem. The only thing missing now is the problem of continuous power.

  If the air hammer is not outrageous, the next thing is even more outrageous. Whitney skipped the cotton spinning machine, the spinning jenny, and the first version of the mule machine and directly used the Roberts version of the automatic spinning machine. .

  A spinning machine and a loom are two different things. A spinning machine is a device used to convert fibers, such as cotton, wool, silk, etc., into yarn or thread.

  A loom is a device that turns yarn or thread into fabric, interweaving longitudinal and transverse threads to form textiles that are worn on the body.

  Unlike the old hand spinning machines known as "Mule Jenny", the hand spinning machine is automated, with a reversing device on top of each spindle, a device that guides the yarn to fall into the desired position, and a control spindle. Devices that allow rotation at the correct speed despite changes in diameter, as well as many other yarn guidance mechanisms.

  The realization of the above relies on a series of levers and gears connected to the "shaper". The device that controls the rotation speed of the spindle is a drum equipped with a gravity rope, which is rotated by the main shaft of the spinning machine and is twisted together with the spindle through gears. The entire system forms a whole, which is not only effective and easy to operate, but also has fewer parts and is very reliable.

  The entire spinning machine can be powered by water conservancy or steam engine leather bags.

  The most important thing is that with the emergence of the spinning machine, the labor dispatch structure of the entire Kauchen Plain has changed. Originally, Darkus planned to build something similar to the Jenny spinning machine and send it to each household to let the women in the household Spinning, regular distribution, regular collection.

  As a result, it is no longer needed now. Once the supporting power system is developed, Darkus can directly withdraw one or two of them and use water conservancy to open a large-scale factory in Chapeiuto, specializing in the textile industry. Men operate the spinning machines, children sweep beneath them, and women weave.

  The only problem now is the lack of power looms that can meet the supporting output, but Darkus is not worried at all. He believes that they will be available soon. Some of the principles of spinning machines and looms are common. Sometimes he even suspected that his golden finger did not appear in a systematic way, but took shape as a person.

  Darkus also couldn’t figure out the composition of Whitney, and couldn’t figure out whether there was some connection with Tzeentch, just like Leonardo da Vinci and Leonardo da Miragliano in the Middle Ages, but it looked like It doesn't look like it, because the things Whitney created have one characteristic, and that is simplicity! But it works.

  They are usually composed of the minimum number of parts, and even a sorceress can understand the principles and mechanisms at a glance.

  Darkus also went to see the masters more than once, but these masters all said there was no problem. He originally wanted to make another cake and set up a dwarven engineer guild or an imperial engineer academy in Druch society.

  If a dwarf shows special aptitude for mechanics, he may be granted an apprenticeship with the Engineers' Guild, whose job it is to provide the dwarves with the latest technological advancements, but that's about it. Most engineers spend their time repairing broken creations and cursing the poor skills of the first engineer to build them.

  Dwarven engineers also create blueprints or schematics for potential new technologies. If the Engineers' Guild deems the blueprints valuable enough, the Engineers' Guild will provide the responsible Dwarven Engineer with the tools, materials, and other assistance he or she needs. Most inventions never succeed, but there are occasional ones, such as the organ cannon, the flame cannon, and the helicopter.

  When these dwarven engineers are called into battle, they will be specialized artillerymen, whose primary responsibility is to operate the artillery and other war machines in the army.

  These dwarf engineers who go to the front line will carry with them a variety of gadgets and black powder weapons capable of destroying groups of enemies. They use their expertise in battle, either shooting with large-caliber short guns or throwing weapons at the enemy. Grenades and even artillery fire if needed. In hand-to-hand combat, they use more black powder or engineering wrenches and various other tools to break down their enemies.

  The Imperial Academy of Engineers in Altdorf is the most prestigious engineering organization in the Empire. Founded under the patronage of Leonardo da Miragliano, a genius from Tilea, the Academy provided many technological innovations to the Empire during its centuries of existence.

  At the same time, the Imperial Academy of Engineers is one of the richest institutions in the empire, providing gunpowder and firearms to the various realms, as well as cannons and firearms to Prag in Kislev and the southern city-states.

  However, before the time of Magnus the Pious, the School of Engineers was always called the School of Engineers during the time of Prince Reikland. In 2302, during the Great War, many of the school's most lethal devices traveled north with Magnus's forces. It was only then that the Engineering School was awarded the title of the Imperial College of Engineers and the Stephan-Franz College of Mechanical Engineering, becoming an officially recognized Imperial institution, referred to as the College of Engineers.

  This institution attracts many young visionaries eager to develop new and exciting technologies. Over the years, the College of Engineers has grown in size, attracting even straggler dwarf engineers who were driven out of their clans for their dangerous ideas.

  While the School of Engineers has an increasingly weird and scary reputation, new and even more dangerous devices are still being developed. The Academy mixes alchemists, medical scientists, biologists, and all manner of obnoxiously insane geniuses in one place. It became a vast complex of firing ranges, test explosives bunkers, well-equipped laboratories and large open spaces where failed experiments had leveled the surrounding buildings. Altdorf's fire brigade is stationed near the college all year round, worried that the madmen in the college will burn the entire city to the ground.

  The familiar mortars, giant cannons, hell jet cannons, hell storm rocket launchers and war carts, as well as various individual firearms or repeating firearms are all produced here.

  Of course, there are also a lot of weird and worthless things that look like they were blessed by Tzeentch. For example, pigeon bombs, an aerial phantom implement similar to the first generation aircraft, barrel-shaped pedal-powered submarines, etc.

  Furthermore, Nunn's shooting school was built to refine existing technology, but ended up becoming a vast industrial complex resembling a foundry rather than the research facility it had been.

  But Leonardo may not have even invented the twelve steam tanks yet, let alone an engineering school.

  The chief must admit that both the Engineer School and the Nunn Shooting School model are very good, but the problem is that after careful thinking, Darkus found that Druchi, Lizardmen or the entire elves did not seem to need such an institution. Unless he learns from the barbarians and uses their skills to defeat the barbarians, he might not be able to draw a tiger but become a dog. You must know that what elves and lizardmen are really good at is magic, and there are giant beasts in the front row, unless the wind of magic in this world has been drained? While Darkus is eager for technological innovation, he is also very conservative. He will never adopt something that looks weird but is very useful. This is not just sugar-coating and hitting back with cannonballs. When you think about it this way, Tzeentch has already won. If you dance with Tzeentch, you will fall into Tzeentch's way, and it will be easy to mess up.

  For example, the blind Nasser from Hagrid Grave has been acting like a monster. As a believer of Val, he does not work hard and always makes some weird things every day. Those things are filled with a warehouse of the Temple of Malice. He was worried that those things would corrode if kept for a long time. A Difference Engine built from thousands of parts was in that warehouse, and Darkus wanted to praise Tzeentch directly. Finally, Nasser was appointed to do it. He isolated Nasser and the things he created from the sorceresses to prevent the sorceresses from being affected by Nasser.

  When the time comes, take it to the old world and throw it directly to Lord Dais, or maybe find an opportunity to kick it directly into the sea one day.

  It seems that Tzeentch also understood that Darkus had seen through him before, and he became more unscrupulous and won all kinds of small victories. Darkus also wins if he uses him. These complicated gadgets will be like a time bomb that doesn't know what will detonate or malfunction at the critical moment. It’s still a win if you don’t use it, because the principles and structures of those things are there and cannot be circumvented. If you don’t use them, there will be no way out.

  If you look at it that way, there is no doubt that Darkus won this time. He has never thought about launching an industrial revolution or industrialization, otherwise Tzeentch's actions would really disgust him. Industry should be left to the humans and dwarves of the old world. May Tzeentch bless them.

  If you want to be a capitalist, then be the biggest. The problem is that Darkus doesn't want to be one. Since he doesn't want to be one, then no one should be one. In his opinion, it is enough to build some equipment and get a commission on production capacity and equipment. He currently lacks a set of textile machines and sewing machines that can be matched with an automatic spinning machine. Now that the air hammer has appeared, he still needs to build a supporting steam engine. In fact, electricity is simpler than a steam engine to a certain extent, but he is not prepared to do it unless every spiritual node in the world is safe in the future. , and rubbing wires is still a big problem.

  At present, equipment manufacturing still lacks the improvement of converters, as well as subsequent supporting high-precision rotary cutting lathes and milling machines to produce high-precision parts for textile machines and automatic paper machines. There must also be boring machines that can be used to produce artillery to ensure steam engines. With the improved air tightness, hydraulic equipment may even be developed. In the future, ports will definitely need hydraulic cranes to lift cargo.

  However, Darkos only knows the principles of hydraulics for these things. The problem is that hydraulics requires good sealing, which means that the current hydraulic technology is locked. He could only place his hope for the emergence of these things in the card-drawing creations of the sorceresses.

  Agriculture is also a big problem, but existing threshing machines, cotton gins, and plows can meet current production needs.

  As for the other things, there should be nothing else. The most Darkus can do is to make the spun cloth and bed quilt the black color that Druch likes, and then... nothing more. He is not going to do dyeing, printing or weaving. Let's leave these things to the elf craftsmen to avoid bankrupting the elf. Maybe because of his lack of experience, he couldn't imagine a scene of a group of elves working in a textile factory.

  In addition, we are not planning to make pottery and porcelain, and the tanning industry is not deeply involved. The initial processing must be done in the Kauchen Plain. In order to meet the daily needs of the Kauchen Plain, all the leather will be processed. Transported back to Naggaroth. He neither intends to revolutionize the industry nor raise a group of bankrupts. Instead, he wants to make the market come alive. Light industry such as textiles and food are not the same concept. He is only responsible for the lowest needs. He is not responsible for high-end luxury goods. If you need it, you can go to the craftsmen to order it. Anyway, the craftsmen still have to purchase yarn from him. Both thread and leather can live and win, which is great.

  Again, Dacus is not short of money, and he also wants to be a capitalist. The things he builds are just to meet the needs of preparing for war and daily needs in peacetime. There is a way to live in poverty, and a way to enjoy being rich.

  If you want to get rich, build roads first. Fortunately, the terrain of the Kauchen Plain is generally relatively flat, so there is no need to build any large bridges. However, national highways extending in all directions are necessary, because national highways are needed for the so-called quantitative production and transportation of various functional provinces. and canals.

  National highways and canals can transport agricultural products to designated processing locations. After processing, the items can be sent to various cities and strongholds, or to Chapeiuto, through national highways and canals. Every day, horse-drawn carriages and behemoths dragging cargo travel along the national highway, acting as transportation chains. It’s not a big deal during the harvest season, when there can be long queues on the national highway. And at critical times, the army was allowed to pass quickly on the national highway.

  So those sorceresses who had nothing to do were all sent out by Darkus, either to farm in Cordoba Province or to pave roads. The planned Kaochen Plain has begun large-scale construction, and all those who can walk on two legs have started to move. No matter the dignitaries or civilians, the female druchis are used as male druchis, and the male druchis are used as livestock with labor dispatch.

  After all, Malekith and Darkus, the first and second leaders of Druch society, are watching here, and with the arrival of Shakespati and Tehenhoin, plus the former and now Chapeyu The pallet was piled high with gold and jewels. As long as the Druchi who had been to the Kauchen Plain had a share of these gold jewels, they could not help but work. Moreover, the Druchi society was a knife-playing society, and no one wanted to test the witches without any reason. Is His Majesty's sword sharp?

  Loxia and Dastan, a pair of good gamblers, led the lizardman army to the southern jungle of the old world. As for the three ships that entered the underground sea, there has been no news yet, but Master Ma told Dacus that the three ships are still moving.

  The idle and bored Malekith was cultivating civilian orphans brought from Naggarond in the Palace of Masks. He was excited to teach these children how to become an outstanding bureaucrat. Darkus had a skeptical view on this, but at this stage there was no need for the veteran bureaucrats, so he followed Malekith.

  Darkus's requirements for the national highway are very simple. The main road must be wide and can accommodate eight carts running side by side, or four ankylosaurs carrying goods walking side by side. Therefore, national highways must be reinforced so that an Ankylosaurus carrying cargo would not trample the road to pieces while running wildly on the national highway.

  Darkus, who was not prepared to set up a relevant science and technology department, discussed with the Dulias and his son and decided to promote Whitney and make Whitney a member of the Hell Catastrophe family. If Whitney did not commit suicide to participate in politics, challenge If a family fight breaks out or she becomes a Tzeentch believer, the Hell Calamity Family will protect her lifelong prosperity.

  The promotion ceremony was witnessed by the children of the Hellscourge family and a group of Druchi dignitaries and sorceresses. It was presided over by the bored Malekith himself. The Skink Priests attended as guests and had a meal afterwards. An all-fish feast consisting entirely of fish...

  Whitney became a new Druch fairy tale for a while. She was not married and became a sweet steamed bun for a while. However, the Hell Catastrophe family usually only gets in and out. And it’s not easy to enter casually.

  Although the College of Engineering will not be established, the College of Agricultural Sciences will be established.

  Of course it cannot be called the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After thinking for a long time, Darkus finally plagiarized the word "Emerald". This word combines the names of two gemstones, emerald and amber, and emerald and amber represent the wind of Guilun and amber respectively. At the same time, this thing does exist in this world. It is a very precious gemstone with special magical properties or power.

  A brand new delicious cake was made by Darkus: "Emerald Garden"!
  The Emerald Garden was built in La Plata, a shared city located at the junction of the provinces of Cordoba and Rosario, and the river was also named La Plata by Dacus river. Subsequently, he also planned to build a port at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata in Rosario Province to meet the needs of these two provinces.

  The Emerald Garden also appeared as a place of wonders. Darkus thought about it. If the egg hatched from the Quanguo was a wind snake, then he would build a great pyramid of the ancient Saint Taibok where the wind snake could occupy. It would be a wonder. Featuring a combination of lizardman and elf styles. The branches and the building collude to form a magnificent hall, as if the building itself grew out of the branches of many different species of trees. The entire complex is alive, from leaf ceilings and organically woven wattle walls to the giant wooden lobby.

  A huge garden is built on the outside for citizens to visit and play. The garden is home to many pools and streams, which flow through the garden and feed the fish ponds overlooked by lush trees. Flowers bloom all year round, and birds and bees flit across the landscape. The manicured lawns are surrounded by standing stones, deer graze in the nearby woods, the trees are covered with a variety of fruits, and the water from the creek flows into a magical milky way.

  And La Plata means Milky Way!
  Ji Lun fell into this world like spring rain falling into the soil. It pools and flows like a stream, bringing nourishment and fertility. It feeds all normal life and is fed by life. It nourishes all things, and therefore is nourished by all things. It is inextricably linked to water, flowing where water flows, gathering where water gathers, and present in all plants and animals.

  At the same time, the wind of Guilun is also the wind of death. It is not the terrifying wind of Shaxu, but the life-sustaining power that is released when dying, a vitality that supports life and will dissipate with death. The departure of Guillen's thread from the body is a sign of the dissipation of life and the destruction of hope.

  Rulers of the Winds of Gyron possess the power to control nature, casting spells that can cause tangled thorns to burst out of the land, summon entire forests, or summon strong winds to scatter their enemies. It can also cause rain to fall from a cloudless sky, or cause rocks on the ground to fly through the air, while also casting healing and restorative spells.

  The ruler of Ji Lun's wind has a very close connection with the power of nature, so the ruler's power will also change with the seasons. It is full of vitality in spring, most powerful in summer, increasingly depleted in autumn, and The winter is weak and weak, but that's what winter is like in the Cawchen Plains...

  Gurzhi is a cold and savage magical wind that blows from the wilderness and washes away the high walls of civilization. They are most common in deserted places, blowing through the wildest areas, gathering deep in forests, passing through mountains, converging in the dirtiest swamps, and residing in remote wilderness.

  The color of Gur's wind is usually described as amber or brown, and it does not have the bright symbolic colors of other magical winds. The various color variations of Amber Wind are turbid and difficult to distinguish. Where the magical wind blows more violently, it approaches yellow. Where the winds of magic blow most violently, it takes on a dark earthy brown color. As it was maneuvered, wisps of red and orange flitted through the icy brown.

  From the perspective of Darkus, a layman who does not know magic, Guilun's style is for agriculture, and Gur's style is for animal husbandry, so the two were combined into an emerald garden and placed in Lapra. The tower couldn't be more appropriate.

  As for doctrine? Sorry, no... Unlike the Order of the Stormweavers, this is not a sect, it's an institution.

  The sect must believe in gods, and the only elven gods who can compete with Guilun's Wind are the Mother Goddess and Elsa. In addition to Heth, Lilith and Hecate, the three elven gods related to magic, Guer's Wind also That is to say, Anes Lema, the God of Wild Hunting, can barely match it.

  Form a sect? Is Darkus crazy? Emerald Garden is a research institution serving agriculture in the Kauchen Plain, and at this stage, I believe Aisha is a bit too extreme. Unless Aisha can really give him a tear that heals the soul of Lord Whinni Aitankui, but turning into a sect will only happen after he comes to Ulthuan.

  Darkus thought about it, and asked the casters who learned the wind of Guilun to carry sickles as their own symbols. These sickles symbolized the power to control the wind of Guilun. It is a force that cuts down, but rather a force that sharpens and rejuvenates, a force that restrains.

  The first apprentice will carry a copper sickle, and will be awarded a silver sickle after promotion. Advanced apprentices will carry a gold sickle.

  Moreover, in the future, apprentices who learn the style of Ji Lun will carry a living wooden staff. The staff can be anything. There is no need to plant it during the apprenticeship, which increases the sense of ritual. It can be the same size as a walking stick or a six-foot stick with only one leaf. It doesn't matter if Lin Daiyu can pull up a weeping willow upside down and carry a trunk.

  The casters who learn the style of Guilun all wear sickles, so the casters who learn the style of Guer must wear a hammer... No. Gulzhifeng's symbol is an arrow, so Darkus changed the arrow a little bit in a bad way, changing it into a hammer... No, it was changed into a large syringe-style arrow similar to injecting livestock.

  Like the scythe of the Wind of Guilun, it is also divided into three levels: gold, silver, and bronze. At the same time, Darkus decided to recruit students from humans living in the Kaochen Plain! He was ready to play a big game.

  Yesterday's chapter was released at noon today. I was wondering what my sister wrote that was against the rules~, maybe it was Nuan Bao Si? Or is it just the frog life? Or can I write it in the title without ordering it?
  Also, I’m sorry, I found out that it will be a few days before I can go to the old world, and I don’t know why I have to write so many words_(:з」∠)_
