Later that day, in the specially prepared hall on the third underground floor of Shadowforge City, the light of the spar lamp illuminated the hall as if it were daytime. In the side doors on both sides of the hall, the goblin Blackso and the dwarf Overspark
Walking into the room almost at the same time, Black Suo took off his black hat without mercy and mocked Oversbach:
"A dwarf! Oh my god, aren't you supposed to deal with your own city? The "great" technological city of Gnomeregan was destroyed by your own hands with your poor craftsmanship. Or are you planning to destroy Shadowforge City?
Oh my god, should I get out of here early, lest you mess up Shadowforge City too!"
Myra, who was sitting in the seat above, had the illusion that the moment the two short men met, their eyes collided, just like dueling warriors, eager to kill each other with their eyes, and this tense momentum was also
Let Myra sincerely appreciate Tyrion's evil wisdom.
"For God's sake, how did my cousin come up with such a stupid idea?"
Myra sighed in a low voice while picking up the dragon blood wine at hand. He only appeared as an official symbol of today's bidding meeting. The real host was an extremely wealthy goblin wearing a white bearskin cloak beside him.
Buddy.
This guy is now the head of the Dark Blade Consortium. He has grown into a big boss in the entire South China Sea business circle. It is said that recently, the Dark Blade Consortium is fighting a cruel trade war with the Steam Sand Consortium in Gadgetzan.
Pirates hired by both sides created a mess in the South China Sea, causing unrest in the entire southern part of the world.
Black Suo's bitter taunt made Overback immediately furious. He reached out and pressed his mechanical goggles. The thick lenses mixed with gears popped open, revealing the sarcastic eyes of the master craftsman.
"The person standing in front of me is the great engineer Hesso. He made himself a lot of money with bombs and gunpowder. But why when I looked at the report this morning, I found that four-fifths of the companies in the entire Darkforge City
They all chose the products of "Overback Technology Laboratory", what's going on? Has goblin engineering been despised? Oh, of course, get out of here with your clumsy explosive toys, Dark Furnace
The city’s tech scene is the domain of dwarfs!”
"Stupid and despicable dwarf, you are crazy and have kept profits so low. I won't be as brainless as you!"
Blackso punched the table and shouted to Overspark like a wild beast:
"If you do this business, you will have to lose all your costs before next year, and you are proudly mocking me about your territory? Are you peeing around Shadowforge City to prevent us from making money?"
"We're here to change the world, idiot!"
The white-haired dwarf spread his hands and shouted to the goblin:
"We don't care about money, gnome engineering is for the future of this world!"
"Don't care about money? Then why do you come here?"
The goblin snorted coldly:
"Get out of here, let me make money, and you go change the world, you idiots!"
"Bang"
The sound of a mallet hitting the table interrupted the novice pecking exchange between the dwarf and the goblin. Buddy Moore, who was sitting on the referee's bench, waved his hands in disgust and said to the people sitting below:
"Time is money, my friends, you are wasting my wealth... Now listen to me, I am Buddy Moore, the chairman of the Dark Blade Consortium, you can understand it as the sixth trade prince, in short
, I came here today at the request of His Majesty Tyrion, the Blade of Dawn, the Grand Lord of the Dark Blade Knights and the Eternal King of the Draenor World, to preside over this weapons bidding meeting!"
Buddy glanced at the two forces below and coughed lightly:
"The basic investment in the weapon design this time is 3 million gold coins, and the design is required to be completed and delivered within a maximum of 2 years."
"The weapons required by the Dark Blade military generally function as a new generation of technological armor, which requires defensive and offensive capabilities similar to steam tanks, and must meet certain mobility requirements and the need to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time."
"I know this is difficult. There is no similar work in Azeroth at present, but I will only give you 15 minutes to prepare now, and then express the design ideas of both parties."
Buddy Moore touched the beard on his chin, and a hint of cunning flashed in his gray eyes:
"Personally, I'm also very curious about goblin engineering and gnome engineering, the two extremes of Azeroth engineering, which one can really change the future of the world. I'll wait and see."
After Buddy's words fell, the goblin side immediately started an intense discussion. As a new generation genius of goblin engineering, Blackso was waving a paintbrush in his hand and was painting something on the paper. Obviously, he already had a
Thoughts on big topics.
On the other hand, the dwarfs, although there were a large number of people, were caught in a strange quarrel.
"How did you persuade us, Overback!"
The great craftsman asked angrily:
"You clearly said that our designs will not be used in war! You liar, look at you now, for some money, you are designing weapons for the undead that can kill our allies!"
"This is necessary, Mekkatorque, I kid you not!"
Oversbach clenched his fists and explained to the other dwarf councilors:
"I know that this kind of weapon is designed to be dropped on the battlefield, and many people will die, but this is necessary, Mekkatorque, use your excellent wisdom to think about it, the undead need weapons, and once we withdraw, the weapons
The design rights of the system will be handed over to the goblins. Think about what kind of weapons those madmen who are passionate about bombs and explosions will design?"
The white-haired dwarf argued:
"Yes, weapons are designed to kill people. I know you are afraid of this kind of destructive power, and I am afraid too, but any powerful force is dangerous. Do you want to make it less dangerous? Yes, but it must be
The power of weapon design is firmly in our hands. Only in this way can we ensure that the weapons of the undead in the future will not be so deadly...at least not to the point of inhumanity!"
"If we quit today, Mekkatorque, will we feel pain and guilt in the future when the undead destroy the world with crazy weapons designed by the goblins?"
The timid engineer Oversback was as if he was possessed by Nasrezim, and he persuaded with eloquent words:
"We clearly have the ability to change everything, and once dwarf engineering establishes its authority in the field of weapon design, we can completely influence them and the undead... at least, at least we can save more people from death! Non-fatal
Sex weapons, do you remember our original idea? Isn’t this a good opportunity?”
"But I still can't accept that my designs will be used to take lives. Sorry, Overspark, what you said makes sense, but I can't accept it."
Mekkatorque shook off his old friend's hand, stood up, and strode out of his seat. The other congressmen also hesitated, but the white-haired dwarf looked at Mekkatorque's back and shouted loudly:
"You want to save people, you want to change the world, but you don't want your soul to be polluted... God, you have so many demands!"
"Mekkatorque, do you know what I learned in our endless quarrel? It's that I've had enough! I've had enough of your talk but no action, of your stubbornness, like mud.
The fountains, those fountains stained by mud, that look like you!"
"An upright person always gives up sooner than an evil person. Get lost! I will do it myself!"
The master craftsman gritted his teeth, picked up paper and pen, and began to write and draw. On the other side, watching the dwarfs clashing, the engineer Heisuo whistled proudly and pushed up his monocle.
, said sarcastically:
"Look, the gnomes are fighting among themselves. Just like so many things they have done before, they have great ambitions but come to nothing. In this sentence, goblin engineering has won! It's so easy, just like grabbing candy from a child.
Same!"
Faced with this kind of ridicule, the dwarfs were speechless.
Fifteen minutes later, Heisuo walked up to the lecture table triumphantly. Behind him, secretary Nasha unfolded a simple design drawing, and the sleepy Myra also opened her eyes and watched with interest.
Looking at the ugly machine blueprint.
"Everyone, this is the original design of Black Solo Technology Company. Of course, it is ugly because I don't have enough time to improve it, but the necessary modules have been designed!"
Heisuo adjusted his dress and introduced to the shadowy Death Lords who were sitting at the back of the hall and couldn't see clearly:
"I named it "Fighter". Don't worry about the name. It is the latest bipedal machine design. It is 3-4 meters in size and its total combat weight is estimated to be 2-4 tons."
"It contains a complete set of gyroscopes to ensure its smooth operation and combat process. The shell made of steel serves as a defensive function. High-intensity current is arranged on the shell to ensure devastating damage to enemies in close combat!"
"Basic offensive weapons, I initially designed them as a flamethrower, a wheel-type high-speed cutter, and small honeycomb bombs arranged on the arms and back. The feet pretend to be spray devices. When necessary, it can achieve a short-term
It floats in the air, and the twin-turbo engine newly developed by BlackSoft Technologies will provide it with strong power!"
Heisuo coughed lightly:
"It will definitely be the best individual war weapon you can find, bar none! Excuse me, who has any doubts about my perfect design? Please raise it."
As he spoke, Black Suo looked provocatively at the dwarf craftsman Overspark below. The latter was upset because of Mekkatorque's departure. He could feel that there was something wrong with the design in front of him, but he didn't know what the problem was.
There, all I could do was grit my teeth and stand in my seat.
"Oh, there doesn't seem to be any doubt..."
Hesso snorted and turned towards Buddy Moore. He stretched out his hand, wanting to shake Buddy's hand to confirm his victory. But at the moment Hesso left the narration stage, a deep voice spoke at the entrance.
Ringing everywhere.
"Engineer Hesso, I have a little doubt. The thrust required for a heavy machine weighing 2-4 tons to run very fast is amazing. Are you sure you have an engine that can drive it to fight at full speed?"
"Shua"
Sweat appeared on Heisuo's forehead, and he forced himself to calm down and said:
"Of course, our company's latest products can fully guarantee..."
"I have read your paper, Mr. Hesso, including the parameters of the turbine engine you designed yourself. Unfortunately, if you want to drive such a heavy mecha, you need to load at least 4 engines inside it, and the problem is
, the weight of just 4 engines is already over 1 ton, plus the cumbersome weapons you designed...the total combat weight is 2-4 tons? Sorry, you must be talking in your sleep!"
A short figure stood at the entrance of the hall. Under the silent gaze of the entire hall, Mekkatorque reached out and pushed up his engineering goggles. Between the collision of gears, the smartest engineer played his most deadly
of a card.
"What's more, the crude oil fuel that the goblins are best at, in the current power system, is difficult to provide enough kinetic energy to push a 2-4 ton robot off the ground. That is to say, unless you give this robot
The ugly machine needs a giant fuel tank, otherwise your design... is just a piece of shit used to rip off money!"
"Bang"
Buddy Moore's gloomy eyes turned to the goblin engineer beside him, and he asked coldly:
"Is what he said true? Engineer Blackso? If you are really trying to deceive the Dark Blade Consortium with your outstanding thinking, I can guarantee that you will spend the rest of your life in the mines of Shadowforge City.
, and that beautiful secretary, put the pistol in your hand on the ground, I only give you 3 seconds!"
"Uh, Nasha, don't be impulsive!"
Heisuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and waved to his secretary. He took a deep breath and said to Buddy sincerely:
"There will always be some discrepancies in the original design. I am very grateful to Mr. Mekkatorque for pointing out these mistakes, but this does not mean that my design is a failure. What's more, I am also very curious about Mekkatorque, who has such amazing wisdom.
Mr. Ke, do you have any designs of your own..."
Blackso said the last few words with gritted teeth, and the next moment, amid Overspark's cheers, Mekkatorque stepped onto the stage and tore off Blackso's design.
He threw it on the ground and stepped on it hard. The craftsman cursed disdainfully:
"It's just a bunch of rubbish! Now let's take a look at the design of Gnomeregan. Time is limited. I can only design a rough module. I named it...Master Chief Defense and Offensive System! This is the entire Nomeregan system.
The crystallization of the wisdom of the Morrigan Council of Craftsmen! It’s infinitely superior to the so-called combination of bombs and gunpowder.”
The moment he unfolded his design, Mekkatorque's eyes met Myra's blood-red eyes. The playful light made the great craftsman take a step back subconsciously, but the next moment, he gritted his teeth.
, said to himself:
"This is not for me, this is for...for dwarf engineering, for my beliefs! For...for the world!"
