The first batch of dwarf craftsmen have temporarily settled in the border town. With their enthusiasm for advanced technology, I believe they will soon adapt to the new way of working.

Nuva will also send new dwarf craftsmen to report one after another. It is really wasteful to let the master craftsman level manpower make the parts of the steam engine in batches.

As it happens, Owen has a large-scale project on hand, and he is ready to involve these dwarf craftsmen.

Originally, he planned to wait for the two major chambers of commerce, Xia Dao and Crescent Moon, to send craftsmen over, and then start the construction of the big project when the manpower was sufficient.

Now it seems that we can start early.

In the morning, Owen specially called all the remaining dwarf craftsmen to come to the castle.

"Yo! Marquis Aisen."

As soon as he entered the office, Tillion, who was walking at the front, couldn't wait to ask: "You called us all here, do you want to treat us to drinks?"

"That's not true," Owen responded.

"Oh, no."

Knowing that it was not drinking, Tillion instantly lost all interest. Since the other party was the lord of Border Guard Town, he still had to give him face.

"Then what does Marquis Aisen want from us? If there is nothing important, please don't just call us over. We are very busy."

Huh? Could it be that drinking is considered an important thing and I call you here?

Forget it, let’s not go into details, the dwarves’ love for wine may be beyond Owen’s understanding.

"that is."

Another dwarf craftsman echoed: "We are busy learning from Teacher Gita. There is a lot of knowledge that we don't know."

Gita...teacher? Even the usually arrogant dwarf craftsmen call him teacher, which shows that Gita has won their respect.

When I think of teachers, I naturally think of schools.

At present, the teacher resources in Bianzhu Town are almost all junior teachers, who can only lead students to complete their primary studies.

Oh! Except Theresa, she is capable of teaching students to complete their intermediate education, but she has not taken the intermediate teacher qualification exam yet.

The teacher qualification examination system was formulated by the Ministry of Education not long ago. Those who pass the examination can obtain the teacher qualification certificate of the corresponding level.

All teachers in the school were forced to take the exam, including Ryan.

The vast majority of teachers have successfully obtained junior teacher qualifications and can continue to teach. A few who are not suitable to be teachers have been dismissed and can only be assigned to other jobs.

If one day Gita retires from the front line, with all the professional knowledge he has mastered, he can directly serve as a senior teacher in the school without taking the teacher qualification examination.

At the advanced education level, it is natural to establish various majors, such as mechanical majors and so on.

Of course, the mission of the Ministry of Education at this stage is still to popularize primary education so that more civilians can become literate and master basic arithmetic, scientific knowledge, etc. Intermediate and advanced education will come later.

Owen shook his head, accidentally thinking too much, and looked up at the dwarf craftsmen.

"Well, I have a set of design drawings here, and I would like to ask if you are interested in participating in the construction of this project."

With that said, Owen took out a stack of drawings he had just drawn last night from the drawer.

"oh?"

Hearing this, Tyrion couldn't help but raise his head and said to Owen: "If it wasn't a steam engine-level design drawing, we would look down upon it."

Ah? The steam engine has become a unit of measurement? The minimum requirement is a design drawing of the same technical level as it. The requirements of dwarf craftsmen are really high.

However, the large-scale engineering project that Owen planned to involve them in was far more complex than the steam engine.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Owen said with a little confidence: "This is the design drawing of a steel battleship. I think it should be worthy of your discernment."

"Steel Battleship?"

These words really aroused Tillion's interest. He walked to the table in a few steps and urged: "Show me quickly."

Owen handed over the stack of design drawings in his hand.

After taking the drawing, Tyrion immediately looked through the contents.

"Tirion, let us take a look too."

The dwarf craftsmen behind also joined in, and even wanted to fight for the blueprint in Tilion's hand.

"Don't grab it! Otherwise, the precious drawings will be ruined."

There was no other way, Tillion could only turn around and distribute the drawings in his hands equally, letting everyone check one part, and then exchange the other part with each other after reading.

Even though they could only view part of the drawings, the dwarf craftsmen present were still shocked.

What a terrifying behemoth this is! It has an indestructible steel body, can float on water and sail, has ultra-long-range attack methods, is powered by multiple powerful steam engines, and has the ability to sail at high speeds.

For example, this is simply a movable water fortress!

Realizing how terrifying the steel battleship was, the dwarf craftsmen's hands couldn't help but tremble. It was not fear, but excitement.

Marquis Eisen has just invited them to participate in this big project. If they can personally participate in the construction of steel battleships, they will undoubtedly be able to boast of a lifetime of great deeds.

Thinking of this, Tyrion suddenly raised his head and looked at Owen, with excitement on his face.

"Margrave Eisen! When are you going to build the steel battleship? I am willing to participate in this big project!"

"And I!"

"Don't leave me behind!"

Other dwarf craftsmen have also expressed their willingness to participate in this project.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Owen pressed his hand to quiet the dwarf craftsman.

"If you want to build this steel battleship, you need a corresponding large-scale shipyard. And the shipyard has just started to be built. I will call you when everything is ready."

"It's going to take so long!" Tyrion couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't be so anxious." Owen reassured, "I just want to ask you what your wishes are today."

"It is impossible for us to refuse a design drawing of this level." A dwarf craftsman said, "It is really too tempting."

"I see."

At this, Owen smiled slightly, knowing how to induce the dwarf craftsmen to work for him in the future.

He continued: "Having said that, don't you still have a lot to learn? Before the dock is built, you should study hard with Teacher Gita."

Hearing this, the dwarf craftsmen nodded in agreement and started talking among themselves.

"makes sense."

"Yes, I also want to learn how to operate a steam boring machine."

"I want to learn how to operate various machine tools in the factory."

Next, the design drawings of the steel battleship were taken back, and Owen put them back in the drawer, while the dwarf craftsman left the castle and went to Gita to continue learning new technologies.

"I'm amazed that a concrete boat can float on water."
Chapter completed!
