Immediately, several dwarfs pushed over a whole mobile drawing table.
Wang picked up a pen and a ruler, drew on the diagram, and then explained: "Let the fuel and air mix at this place. After the mixed gas explodes, it flows backward through the entire pipe, driving the blades inside to rotate."
The dwarves all stared at the king's drawing in a daze.
Wang: "Why? You think it's impossible? This is a technology I got from a technologically advanced plane. They call it a gas turbine. Is it impossible to make it with current technology?"
All the dwarfs were angry at once.
Then they all shouted:
"What do you mean!"
"There is nothing we can't do, only things we can't imagine!"
“We can do it if we have the blueprint!”
"Even if some materials cannot be made by metallurgy now, we have alchemy!"
Wang: "Okay, then you guys start trying. Don't mess with that electric gyroscope anymore."
“That’s a gyroplane!”
"Alright, gyroplane. Xiaobai, take off. Let's go check out the other workshops."
Chapter 359: Disaster Hundreds of Thousands of Years Later
Wang Gang was about to let Xiaobai turn back into a griffin and leave, when a dwarf pulled the pulley and slid down the zipline.
The dwarf was holding a roll of blueprints. When he saw the king, he excitedly said, "Master Engineer, take a look at our designs! There must be something that will catch your eye!"
Wang frowned. After he developed the device that used the gravity core to generate electricity, the dwarfs called him the Great Engineer. He didn't expect that this title had spread in such a short time.
However, Wang is a pragmatic person. Although he has drawn many pictures in the golem-related design classes, he feels that he has not yet reached the level where he can be called a great craftsman by a group of dwarfs.
So he waved his hand and said, "Don't call me that, just call me the island owner."
"Okay, Master Craftsman. Got it, Master Craftsman. No, Island Master!"
The dwarf holding the blueprint said so.
But one of the dwarves was immediately unhappy: "How can this be! He is the one who created the infinite energy core that can generate electricity forever!"
Wang's expression froze. For a moment he couldn't think of when he had created such a thing.
Could it be that he mistook that generator for some infinite energy core?
Wang: "Is this energy core you are talking about the one that provides power to the island?"
"Yes!"
"if not!"
"Master Craftsman Smith of the Thorn Islands doesn't believe that this is an unlimited power supply, but he has been here to test it for a few days and can't find the source of the electricity! He has already asked the Master Craftsman Council to invite you to give a lecture!"
After these words were spoken, many dwarfs showed visibly envious expressions.
Someone murmured, "It would be great if I could give a speech in Brynden's Craftsmen's Hall once in my life, and my descendants would remember it forever!"
"Yes, you are going to give a lecture!" Another dwarf chicken nodded like pecking at rice.
Wang couldn't help but hold his forehead: "The power of that thing is not infinite. In fact, it is constantly converting the kinetic energy of Gralia's rotation into electricity. After about hundreds of thousands of years, Gralia will slowly stop rotating.
"A civilization that makes good use of this technology will either eventually break out of the Crystal Wall System and become a spacefaring civilization, or it will gradually perish as the planet stops rotating."
The dwarfs who had been making so much noise just now all stopped and stared at the king in amazement.
Wang asked in confusion: "Why? Don't you know? I explained the principle to the dwarves who first came here."
At this time, many more dwarves slid into the courtyard on zip lines. Now they looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them slapped his hairy head and said, "It seems to be true, but because it's too ridiculous, we will punish those who said so and make them copy the Great Craftsman's Declaration."
Wang: "You actually punished my 'personal disciple' to copy the declaration?"
"It's not many pages." Someone immediately said, "It's just to remind them to be realistic."
Wang: "But that device does convert the kinetic energy of the planet's rotation into electrical energy."
The dwarves fell silent again and looked at each other.
Suddenly a dwarf shouted, "Go to class!"
The other dwarfs shouted together: "Yes, go to class!"
"Go to Brynden's Hall of Tinkers for class!"
Facing the excited dwarves, the king tried to calm them down: "This is not my invention, it is the masterpiece of people from other planes. They built the Tower of Babylon that goes straight from the ground to the sky, so that they can fly out of the crystal wall system. Generating electricity is just a side effect, because this thing just cuts the magnetic field lines of the earth's magnetic force."
The dwarves were quiet again.
Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys have finally calmed down. This is not a big deal."
The dwarfs suddenly rushed up, lifted the king up with their hands and feet, threw him into the sky and caught him again.
Gaines, who was supposed to be singing in Flint's tavern—well, in Cailin's temple—appeared at some point, playing the ludwig and singing, "The great craftsman from a foreign land~"
Wang initially planned to "deny" it, but after saying a few words it was of no use, so he simply accepted his fate.
The dwarfs then made a fuss for half an hour before they finally let the king down.
The king almost lost his balance, but fortunately Elizabeth rushed over to support him.
Wang: "Okay, show me your designs right away. We urgently need to improve the strength of the floating island. We rely entirely on your technology!"
A dwarf replied: "If you want to improve your strength, why don't you go directly to the Thorn Islands to ask for golems? At least in the Thorn Islands, the golems have completed their mission perfectly."
Wang immediately recalled the dwarf golem he had seen at the Pelican Gang's dock, and replied, "I have reservations about the golem's reliability."
Another dwarf immediately said, "I guess you've seen golems explode out of control? But that's because the newest golems usually use the latest technology. The golems in the Thorn Archipelago are mass-produced using old designs. They are boring, but very reliable."
Wang was about to say that he doubted that the dwarves could produce reliable products, but suddenly realized that this might be a way to go.
Even if a bunch of golems cause problems on the battlefield, it would be better than fighting against a rock with an egg as we are doing now.
Wang: "Then where can I buy a golem?"
"This is easy. Three of the seven great craftsmen of the Thorn Islands are on this island. We just need to find one more. Then, with the vote of four people, we can lend the elite of the Thorn Islands to you for free." A dwarf suggested.
Wang: "Are these master craftsmen here now?"
“They want to do an experiment.”
"Yes, we are going to experiment. But now I guess they have heard that electricity comes from the rotation of the planet, and they are rushing here..."
At this time, a flaming kite fell from the sky and was about to hit a group of dwarfs on the heads. However, the dwarfs seemed to have adapted to this situation very well. They flew away and left a piece of empty space.
The "pilot" of the kite shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! That tall man, please catch me! Ah, poof!"
Xiaobai: “Puff.”
Wang was just checking if the dwarf on the ground needed a healing scroll when a dwarf next to him said, "This is one of the great craftsmen."
The master craftsman got up from the ground and patted the dirt off his body. "Fortunately, it was a successful landing. So who said that our Gralia would stop rotating?"
Wang: "I. But it will be hundreds of thousands of years later."
The dwarf put on his glasses and stared at the king for three seconds. "Tall man, you look familiar. It seems that there is a portrait of you hanging in the island's administrative office?"
Wang frowned, he didn't know that his portrait was already hung in the administrative agency.
It must be Rosalie again.
Wang: "I am the owner of the island, and the designer of what you call the Infinity Core on the island."
The master craftsman paused and exclaimed, "Great! I finally get to see you in person! So is Gralia going to stop turning soon?"
Wang: "No, I just said it will take hundreds of thousands of years."
Chapter 360 Threat
The dwarf master craftsman said, "We would have perished by then, and this energy core would have stopped functioning. Even if it is still slowing down Gralia, it has nothing to do with us."
Wang: "Indeed, we will talk about things hundreds of thousands of years later. People in one dimension also thought so, but guess what happened in the end? Because they obtained seemingly unlimited energy by converting the rotational energy of the planet, their development became lazy and they eventually perished."
The master craftsman said firmly: "We won't. At least we dwarves will not stop moving forward, because curiosity has no end!"
The dwarfs immediately shouted their agreement.
Wang raised an eyebrow.
If the dwarfs lose their curiosity, they will age rapidly. Soon their hair will turn completely white, their faces will be covered with age spots, and their skin will lose its luster. Therefore, this state after losing curiosity is also known as "depigmentation" among the dwarfs.
With a race like the dwarves who will die if they are not curious, it seems that the world does not need to worry about becoming complacent.
Wang: "Then you should quickly move towards the Red Furnace. If you want to get out of your own Crystal Wall System, besides using the Cyclops' legendary magic to create a magic ship, you can only follow the Red Furnace's technical route."
The dwarf master craftsman looked puzzled: "What red furnace?"
Wang was about to answer when the speaking stone in his arms rang.
He took it out and connected the communication. It was Rosalie: "I heard that you were welcomed by the dwarves in the dwarf area. I hate to disturb you, but two airships flying the Isonzo flag are approaching us."
The king frowned. "The flag of Isonzo? Didn't Catalai turn this place into an enclave?"
"Yes, Catalai attacked our floating island before, but was beaten back by Lily who happened to come over, and didn't even land. This time they flew the flag of Isonzo, probably to take advantage of the fact that Isonzo didn't go to war with us. After all, we have the parish priest of Lancelot here."
Wang nodded: "I understand, I'll go right away."
The dwarves all sounded disappointed:
"Eh?"
"Finish looking at my project before you leave!"
"Tell me more about the planet stopping!"
"That's over, now we're talking about the red furnace and the blue furnace!"
Wang: "Let's talk about it when we get back. After all, some guys with bad intentions have come to our door and might start a fight. I'll go see what they're up to first."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiaobai, and Xiaobai immediately turned into a griffin.
Because her chassis suddenly became much larger, she immediately pushed a bunch of dwarfs aside.
Wang put Elizabeth on first, then climbed up himself, and patted Xiaobai's arm and she flew up.
