Chapter 843
"Wow—crack crack ka-cha"
When the Dragon Queen threw a bottle of Wildfire into the Valyrian Steel fireplace and set it on fire, she named it "" From the head of the train, thick white air and water vapor suddenly spewed out.
After waiting for a full five minutes, Dragon Queen moved the guillotine, and the sound of gears biting and twisting came from the inside of the huge iron lump. Then, the wheels turned and the locomotive began to accelerate slowly.
"The Seven is above, this, this iron car is amazing, it can run without a cow, it is so fast, and the pulling force is so strong." dwarf was lying on the window, feeling the cold blowing in front of him The wind was so excited that it couldn't help itself.
The railroad tracks are built under the fence and circle the manor, and the locomotive circles the manor.
At the end, the boiler is hot, and the front of the car reaches its maximum speed, almost fast as lightning.
“How did you do that?” dwarf said loudly.
The noise of the train was so loud that he had to speak loudly.
Dany didn't explain, just found a parchment in the car and handed it to him.
That is the side profile and the overall structure of the locomotive.
"The Seven, genius, so genius, it's not Magic at all. Queen, if you're not Mage, you'll be the smartest Maester the world has ever seen!" dwarf looked frantic, looking at Dany's eyes Worship like never before.
"Maester would never invent such a machine, because this fantasy world doesn't seem to have coal." Dany shook his head.
Maybe the mining depth is not enough, maybe the location is not identified, maybe there is no coal at all, anyway Dragon Queen has traveled for several years and has never seen coal, otherwise she would have occupied the place long ago.
"Coal... what is coal?" dwarf hadn't even heard of the word.
"A high burning temperature, high burning heat. Just like Wildfire, a pound of Wildfire can heat 80 times the amount of freshwater as charcoal, and Wildfire's temperature is far higher than firewood flames, even It can melt steel in open spaces.
The higher the heat, the longer it will last; the higher the temperature, the more power the steam will have.
There is also the problem of wood ashes and smoke, after Wildfire burns There's no debris left, no smoke, and no clogging of the snorkel.
Wildfire is the perfect mechanical fuel. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Almost..." dwarf said reluctantly.
“crack crack — scoff —” The Wildfire was still burning, but Dany pulled the brakes down, bringing the locomotive to a slow stop.
In the eyes of dwarf, the Dragon Queen's locomotive is huge and the biggest and heaviest steel monster he has ever seen in his life.
In Dany oneself's opinion, the train is only 1.8 meters wide and 6 meters long. It is a test steam car, and a bottle of Wildfire can make it run all over the yard. Last hour, she couldn't wait for it to burn off the fuel oneself to stop.
"Actually, there is a more powerful Wildfire machine, with a more complex and dangerous design." Taking dwarf reluctantly around the locomotive to the Queen's forge, Dany handed dwarf a roll of design picture.
"Put the Wildfire directly into the cylinder and burn it? It's too terrifying, it will explode."
dwarf is very smart, after a while, he understands the principle of the evolution of the steam engine to the fuel engine .
"Remember what I said when I appointed you Wildfire General?
Wildfire General is definitely a greater position than Hand of the King.
If the Wildfire with strong stability can be researched, the whole world will undergo drastic changes!"
Before he came here, dwarf would be snort disdainfully, but now, he only feels deeply shocked and in awe.
I am shocked by Dragon Queen's grand goal of changing the world and the genius and wisdom of changing the world.
"It is both fortunate and unfortunate that I was born in the same era as you. You have a high Magic innate talent, you have dragon, you can fight, you are born an expert in governing the country, and you are so smart...ordinary person How to live!" Dwarf sighed deeply.
"People are different, some people are born Prince, some people are born but their parents throw them in the slum dump, and they meet Stranger on the second day.
Don't be with me.
Compare, compare and you will lose the meaning of living." Dany indifferently said.
dwarf couldn't refute, but asked: "What's the use of studying trains and steam engines when Long Night comes?"
"Do you think this place was built after Long Night? ?"
dwarf looked around and saw a large warehouse, at least 400 square meters, with a half-open roof, and one corner was piled with metal ingots the size of bricks, ranging from gray iron, gold, silver, and red. Copper, etc., the open-air room is also built with a huge steel-making furnace and a matching mold room.
And a mess of metal parts that he couldn't understand.
In Smith's shop outside the warehouse, Smith in uniform is not sure what to do.
Dany said: "Technology is a cumulative process, such as alloys, which need to be tested little by little in different proportions."
"Where are you going to use the locomotive? Slaver's Bay shipping is so developed that it doesn’t seem to be used, or it’s not worth wasting so much steel. It’s better to use steam engines instead of labor and do some tedious but monotonous work.” Tyrion pondered.
"In the future, it may be possible to study a kind of earth and stone witchcraft. The current mining technology is too backward, and the iron and steel production cannot be increased, which leads to the high cost of rails." Dany said.
Afterwards, Dragon Queen, in front of dwarf, next to the locomotive, assembled a large "iron box" with a bunch of strange steel parts into a carriage.
Then she pulled the gate again, and the locomotive sounded "wu wu wu --crack crack" again.
It's just that the drive shaft didn't turn the train wheels this time, but made the newly formed iron box hum.
Then something stunned dwarf.
A large bag of wheat is poured into the port of the iron box, and from the other end, around the outlet of a long cloth bag, a handful of white as snow warm flour slips out.
Smell the sweetness of the flour, grab a handful again, feel the delicateness and tenderness of the flour, dwarf's eyes widened in disbelief and suddenly realized: "so that's how it is, so that's how steam engines changed the world ."
He turned his head and pointed to the strangely shaped, but extraordinarily large, six-blade iron plow in the corner, and asked, "Is it still possible to use a steam train to plough the land?"
"You think farming is harder than threshing?" Dany regretted. "If I had discovered those two Valyrian Steel statues two years earlier, I could have fed Slaver's Bay to the world for ten years!"
dwarf He murmured, "I seem to see the future after Long Night. Steam engines are used to plow the land and thresh the grain. Every household's granary is filled with wheat and rice. In winter, no one will starve to death."
It seems that there is With a certain awareness, his eyes were clear and firm, "Magic civilization is the future of mankind! Citadel is wrong, and Valyrian is also wrong.
The power of dragon and Magic should not be used to conquer the world, but to conquer the world. It should serve the production of the world."
"You are wrong," Dany shook his head, "The combination of Magic and technology is king! If you don't understand the laws of physics in science, the power of Magic will always only be Weapons."
"Yes, you're right, but we haven't even made it through the road of science. The history of the human kingdom is more than 10,000 years, and civilization has hardly progressed, and the development of 10,000 years is not as good as your few years. The toss." Tyrion's tone was complicated.
After spending an afternoon at Smith's shop, Dany took dwarf into the palace in the evening.
There is more luxury than Tyrion could have imagined, but the people in the palace amaze him.
The palace is like another Citadel, inhabited by Mage and scholars recruited from the world by the Dragon Queen.
Mage has no clear boundaries with academics, they wear similar clothes, read the same books, and discuss the same issues.
It seems that they study while they study.
Tyrion also sees their textbook, Magic, Physics, Chemistry, and the Laws of Nature.
There are already three volumes of that book, and now a group of scholars, Mage, are working on the fourth and fifth volumes.
He found the first volume "Basic Physics" and opened it and read it.
It wasn't long before dwarf was caught up in the "Three Laws of Daenerys".
"This, this, just a few words, seems to contain all the truth of the universe!" Tyrion was shocked again.
......
"This is the university, but the textbooks have not been compiled, the system has not been set up, and everything is still in the initial stage." On the way, Dany said to him.
Tyrion wondered, "Why didn't I know there was a university here?"
"Smith's shop was established after acquiring Valyrian Steel, and later developed by forging and mechanical research. become a university."
"Valyrian Steel..." Tyrion frowned gradually, "Mechanization is inseparable from Valyrian Steel, the total amount of Valyrian Steel is limited, and we have to find a way to get it from Balerion. A full set of blacksmithing techniques."
Tysha returns after another two days have passed and the Wyrm has been shipped to the Red Waste.
On the same day, dwarf wore the Valyrian Steel armor that he requested from Dany younger sister to meet his transformation needs, carried the Valyrian Steel battle axe, and came to Dragon Den behind the pyramid alone.
He was about to leave.
"Huh, you're....Simba?" As soon as he stepped out of the stairs, Tyrion saw the boy who impressed him again.
He's scrubbing the dragon's scales.
Red Dragon is also more than two years old, almost three years old, with a body length of nearly 20 meters, lying on the ground as high as a floor.
The boy named Simba is also shirtless in winter, wearing only a pair of shorts, standing firmly on the Red Dragon's back, brushing a layer of white foam on the dragon scales with a brush.
The red light of the torch on the wall fell on the child's sweaty back, shining brightly and warmly.
"I have seen Lord Prince." Seeing dwarf, Simba did not go down, but stood on the back of the dragon and performed the horse men's etiquette.
“What are you doing?” Tyrion asked curiously.
"Bathing Queen Your Majesty's dragon."
"Why a bath? A dragon doesn't need a bath," dwarf said.
"I need to wash."
"Just go for two laps in the sea."
"I need to wash, this is my job." Simba said seriously .
dwarf is speechless.
paused, he asked again: "Are you afraid of dragons?"
Simba glanced down at Little Red, "Afraid of what?"
dwarf was killed again After choking for a moment, "Ordinary people dare not approach dragon. Dragon's Might naturally exudes from dragon's body, and they don't like strangers approaching either."
"I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a groom who takes care of dragon ."
Tyrion grinned and waved to the boy: "Simba, come down and let me take a good look at you."
Simba didn't know why, but he was still sliding like a slide. Slip off the wings with a bucket and a mop.
This relaxed and casual action makes the dwarf pupil shrink.
"Child, how old are you? Who are your parents?" He stroked Simba's silky, thick silver hair, and a trace of suspicion gradually appeared in his eyes.
"I'm five years old, my father is Jhaqo and my mother is Lilith."
"shit, you're only five years old, you are almost as tall as me."
