"By the way, Tyrion."

Suddenly remembering that the dwarf craftsmen seemed to be arguing about something when he first arrived, Owen said: "Before I arrived, you seemed to be having a very heated discussion."

"That's right, Your Majesty the King."

Tyrion pretended to be mysterious and said: "When we were making steam locomotives, we came up with a great idea and designed a set of drawings based on it. Do you want to know what it is?"

His sullen face seemed to be telling Owen - Ask me quickly!

"What is it?" Owen followed the other person and asked.

"It's not impossible to tell His Majesty the King, but we will finish the ten jars of wine in a few days. It would be nice if we could have a few more jars."

Tyrion's intention was already obvious, he wanted more wine as a reward.

"Oh...if you don't want to say it, then forget it."

In response, Irving showed an indifferent attitude and shrugged his shoulders.

Ten jars of wine are enough for you to drink. Do you want more? No way!

Anyway, if a dwarf craftsman wants to make something new, he must first apply to Gita, who will then notify Owen and obtain permission before starting to manufacture it.

In other words, Owen will know what the dwarf craftsmen designed sooner or later.

"Huh?! Your Majesty the King, that is something designed by so many of our outstanding craftsmen."

Seeing Owen's lack of interest, Tyrion suddenly became anxious and stretched out his right hand, making a gesticulating gesture with his index finger and thumb.

"Don't you have a little bit of curiosity? A little bit is fine."

"No." Owen answered simply.

"Ouch!"

Seeing this, Tyrion became very anxious and slapped his thigh.

"Your Majesty the King, our design is really great, you will definitely be surprised when you see it."

"Really?"

Owen touched his chin, deliberately pretending to be suspicious.

"It's true."

Tyrion turned to another dwarf craftsman and urged: "Quick! Go outside and get the set of design drawings. You must let His Majesty the King see the wisdom of our dwarf craftsmen!"

Owen's attitude made Tyrion feel that it was damaging to their reputation as dwarf craftsmen, so they were eager to prove that their designs were excellent.

In this way, Tyrion's plan to use their designs as bait to obtain more wine failed.

The dwarf craftsman who was instructed by Tyrion ran outside quickly, and soon ran back with a stack of design drawings and handed them to Tyrion.

"Your Majesty the King, please take a look."

Tyrion handed the design drawings to Owen and explained: "This is what we designed together. After reading it, you will be amazed by the wisdom of our dwarf craftsmen."

The dwarf craftsmen didn't care if Owen looked at their carefully designed drawings. After all, Owen generously showed them those incredible design drawings.

"Let me see."

After taking the set of design drawings, Owen looked through them on the spot.

This is another railway train design. The appearance has changed a lot. I don’t know how it is different from a steam locomotive.

Continue reading until Irving reaches the core part of the power supply device, and he instantly understands it.

"This is the DC motor I taught you. Oh - you have designed a new railway train powered by electricity."

"That's right."

Tyrion put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Compared to a steam locomotive that burns coal, an electric locomotive 'burns' lightning magic stone, which does not generate so much heat or emit so much black smoke. It is

Don’t you think it’s very clean?”

"It's really good."

Irving was not stingy with his praise and pointed out some deficiencies in the design drawings.

"However, I think the size of the motor you designed is a bit small, and the maximum power it can provide is not enough. It may not be able to pull too much cargo."

"The size is too small?"

"I just said that the coil should be doubled in size..."

After hearing this, the dwarf craftsmen immediately started arguing again.

Today, Dawn City is using lightning magic stones to build its own power grid.

Regarding the manufacturing of electrical equipment, Owen actually asked Gita to promote it. Some factories have already replaced the previous steam machine tools with electric machine tools.

Compared with steam-powered equipment, electric equipment has great advantages.

For example, the start-up time of electrical equipment is short and it can work as long as the power is connected. Unlike a steam engine, which requires boiling water first and then adding water and coal from time to time.

Also, a steam engine will generate a lot of heat when it is working, and you will get burned if you approach the exhaust port at will. Electric equipment does not have these problems, etc.

All in all, there are many benefits to using electrical equipment.

Of course, at present, the factories in Dawn City are still mainly powered by steam power. The replacement of electric equipment is a gradual and cyclical process, and it is impossible to replace them all at once.

Even if all are replaced, steam engines will still be produced as usual, mainly to supply factories elsewhere.

Other places are not as rich in lightning magic stones as Auroville. Although the price of lightning magic stones is the cheapest among all magic stones, compared with coal, it is still a bit expensive.

Therefore, factories in other places will still use steam engines until power plants are built there and electrical equipment is rapidly spread, so it should be regarded as excessive.

"Okay, let's stop the discussion now."

Owen put an end to the dwarven craftsmen's argument and approved the electric locomotive they designed. He thought the idea of ​​"burning" the lightning magic stone was a good one.

"You first modify the design drawings, and then make a test model for verification. As long as it passes the verification, I will approve your manufacturing."

With that said, Owen returned the set of design drawings to Tillion.

After getting the design drawings back, Tillion suddenly asked: "If it passes the verification, will the steam locomotives be replaced with electric locomotives in the future?"

"Of course." Owen nodded, "If there are better electric locomotives, it is natural to eliminate the outdated steam locomotives."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Tyrion couldn't help laughing and said proudly: "Have you heard that His Majesty the King personally admitted that our design is more advanced than his steam locomotive, and that the wisdom of our dwarf craftsmen is no worse than that of humans!"

Sure enough, I am still struggling with this matter. The dwarves have always mastered technology that is more advanced than humans. One day, they suddenly discovered that Dawn City's technology level surpassed theirs.

This makes them always worried about this, and they want to find an opportunity to have a good fight.

Finally, the dwarf craftsmen "won" in the design of the railway train, which greatly encouraged Tilion and the others.

Even if the dwarf craftsmen win, Owen is too lazy to come up with better designs to fight back against them, lest they fall into despair after being frustrated.
