When Noggenfogg led his people to explore Tanaris, he left his family on Kezan Island because of the difficult environment here. It was not until the construction of the new city of Gadgetzan was completed a few months ago that Noggenfogg took his family back.
Came over.
Li De knew all this, but that was all. He didn't know much about Nogfogg's family. At this time, Nogfogg's daughter suddenly wanted to break into the venue to see him, which made Li De a little confused.
Mindless.
"This girl knows how to cause trouble. Sorry everyone, I will send her back right now."
Nogfogg stood up while apologizing to everyone, but Li De asked with a smile.
"Since this child said he came to see me, why did you stop him?"
Nogfogg helplessly put his hand on his forehead.
"We are discussing important matters here, and we don't have time to deal with a child."
The saying "time is money" is engraved in the goblin's bones. Noggenfogg values efficiency more than anything else, but Li De is very open-minded.
"Although time is tight, I still have time to answer a child's questions. Let this child meet with me. What if what she wants to say is really important?"
Noggenfogger shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to nod and agree to this arrangement. What he wanted in his heart was that his daughter should not embarrass himself by talking nonsense.
After receiving a clear reply, Madin Lei opened the door and ushered in Nogfogg's daughter.
It was a little goblin girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was not as tall as the conference table. Li De stood up and left his seat, squatting in front of the little goblin girl and asked.
"Hello kid, what's your name?"
The little girl showed no stage fright at all and looked at Li De curiously with her big round eyes.
"My name is Jenny, are you Protector Li De?"
Li De smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I am Li De. Why are you so anxious to see me?"
Jenny, a brat, was a little dissatisfied with Li De's tone, which was obviously coaxing.
"I heard that you are soliciting engineering technology projects. I am currently doing a research, but my father does not support me."
The little girl has fallen in love with Gadgetzan since she was taken to Gadgetzan by Nogfogg a few months ago. From her father, she learned that the Guardian was collecting valuable projects, which gave this smart little girl a
Bold ideas.
When his daughter said this, Noggenfogg became furious on the spot.
"Go, go, what's the nonsense for a child to fill in? I already told you that I have no intention of playing house with you. Your handmade toys are not even an introduction to engineering."
Noggenfogg has a very high level of engineering. In his opinion, qualified engineering products are precision products that combine mathematics and mechanics and require Kaya crystal as power. He is naturally subconsciously interested in the little girl's handmade products.
Just deny it.
"Hmph~"
The little girl was used to her father's denial and was not very angry. She just stuck out her tongue at Noggenfogg.
"You just look down on people. I went to the port's work area and saw that even if Mr. Bolillo operated the spinning wheel himself, he would not be as efficient as me."
Of course Nogfogg didn't believe the little girl's excuses.
"Can you change your habit of talking big words? Mr. Bolillo is a senior tailor, and he can't compare to you..."
At this moment, Reed interrupted Nogfogg's words.
"Little Jenny, you mean you made a spinning machine?"
"Um."
Jenny raised her head, looking a little proud.
At first, Li Dezhen just wanted to appease the children, but now he took the matter seriously.
If you were to use four words to describe the technology tree of the world of Azeroth, it would be "a mess." It has extremely developed metallurgical forging technology, even to the extent of hand-knocking motorcycles and mechas; but in contrast, the light handicraft industry is extremely rough.
The "Mr. Bolillo" in the mouth of the goblins refers to the senior tailor Giorgio Bolillo who is responsible for making ropes and tailoring workshops in the work area.
This senior tailor has very high skills, the most commendable of which is that he can operate two spinning wheels at the same time to spin two yarns at the same time, and the threads spun are uniform in thickness, strong and durable.
That's right, textile technology in the world of Azeroth is still at the level of a single-thread hand-spinning wheel.
To roughly summarize, the spinning process is to twist animal and plant fibers into continuous threads. The most primitive method is to twist the fibers into threads by hand.
To further develop on this basis, a large roller is used to drive a small shaft to rotate at high speed. This high-speed rotating shaft is also called a spindle.
Twist the arranged fibers into a thread and fix it on the spindle. During the high-speed rotation of the spindle, due to the friction between the fibers, they are twisted into a continuous yarn.
The person operating the spinning wheel must shake the roller with one hand and grasp the arrangement of the fibers with the other hand so that the yarn will not be torn. Therefore, the production efficiency of such a single-thread and single-spindle spinning wheel is very low. Even a skilled worker can only make one turn per day.
Can spin 3 pounds of thread.
For example, Bolillo operated a foot-operated spinning wheel, using pedals to turn the rollers, so that he could use both hands to control the arrangement of fibers in his hands and spin two threads at the same time.
Under such circumstances, linen, wool, silk, magicweave cloth, rune cloth and other cloths in the world of Azeroth are regarded as precious materials. In some cases, they can even replace currency, and the reuse rate is extremely high.
high.
So now, how could Li De not be excited when he heard Jenny say that she had made a more efficient spinning machine?
"I'm looking forward to seeing the spinning machine you made now, but our meeting hasn't ended yet... so be it."
Having said this, Li De looked at Martin Lei.
"You and Pumillo will accompany our little girl Jenny in a moment and bring her invention here. After we finish the meeting, let everyone comment on it. Remember, I need you to keep it absolutely confidential during this process."
Martin Lei's whole body tensed up. Li De rarely gave such an order. He looked at Jenny with some confusion. Is this little girl really that important?
"Jenny, please take your invention with you in a moment. Can you wait in the next room for a while?"
After confirming that Li De was not perfunctory, Jenny nodded happily and took Madin Lei and the others home to get their treasures.
"Duhu, you don't really believe what a child says, do you? I've seen her work before, and it's very rough and difficult to put into practical use."
Nogfogg saw Li De's expectations for this, and immediately took precautions in his words.
Li De returned to his seat and signaled Nogfogg to be calm.
"Believe in children's creativity. Many adults have lost this valuable quality. Sometimes they will really surprise you."
For the meeting, this was just a small episode, and then Li De signaled that the reporting work would proceed further.
In addition to the previous items, the most important thing is the gold mining in Tanaris. In just over a month, two rich mines have been discovered, with conservative estimates of reserves of more than 3 million gold coins. In just over a month of mining,
If the quantity is enough, 50,000 gold coins can be minted.
This matter still makes Li De very happy. With the huge amount of gold, Hanhai Protector's error tolerance rate has been greatly increased during the development process, and he can have more opportunities to try and make mistakes.
After all the work was reported, Li De began to introduce his future arrangements to everyone.
The management of troll beliefs has been discussed before and will be implemented step by step. As for the cultural construction project, Li De plans to build a new history college, an engineering college and a theater in Gadgetzan, which will be integrated with the
The former language college and monastery are connected together to create a "college city".
Among them, the School of History will be deaned by Li De himself and Takshiro will be hired as a consultant; the dean of the School of Engineering will be concurrently served by Bigwitz; and the management of the theater will be handed over to Haggard.
Not to mention the School of Engineering, Li De had proposed such an idea long before he went to Zandalar, with the purpose of cultivating more scientific and technological talents to improve primary productivity. The School of History and the Theater made many people feel uncomfortable.
untie.
For this reason, Li Deze patiently explained that not everyone is keen on religious beliefs. In addition to religious beliefs, what can shape social consensus is cultural identity.
If the School of History is dedicated to studying history and providing the greatest common denominator to all social groups as much as possible, then theater is an effective way to popularize history and culture among the public.
At the same time, the theater can also develop the tertiary industry through services such as ticket sales and performances. The Shining Plains will soon host this quarter's motorcycle competition, and a large number of tourists will flock to Gadgetzan.
The last competition was still a trial, and the number of tourists had already reached 10,000. Li De said that the governor's official would not be too involved in the gambling business, but with so many potential customers, Li De could not turn a blind eye.
Taking advantage of Nogfogg's business, the government launched a wave of cultural tourism promotion and provided theatrical performances for tourists during the games. It was not easy to make money.
After explaining all their intentions, everyone praised the plan and unanimously agreed upon it smoothly.
The entire meeting related to the next stage of development of the Hanhai Protectorate was almost coming to a successful conclusion. At the end, Li Decai raised the most important topic: participating in the Orc War.
