After finally finishing their meal, Snorri and Bullock squeezed out of the canteen. Bullock invited Snorri into his car - a four-wheel car with a front engine.
Sitting on the leather seat, feeling the vibration of the car engine and the bouncing feeling of the wheels passing through the uneven stone road, Snorri was almost lost in the memories of his previous life.
The two drove all the way to the hall of the Engineers Guild. Although it was not far from the canteen and there was transportation, it still took them nearly an hour.
Bullock, the president of the Engineers Guild, changed his past aloof style. Every time he met a compatriot he met on the road, he would stop the car and tell the story of last night.
It seems that because Snorri, the goddess's choice, is sitting beside him to witness, his enthusiasm for spreading the grace of the mother goddess has become even higher.
After finally arriving at the entrance of the guild, Snorri found that this place was indeed a base for emerging technologies. The structure of the main entrance was different from the other gates he had seen before.
Unlike ordinary stone or steel gates that require the joint efforts of several doormen to open and close, this gate can be opened and closed with one hand by driving the built-in pulley set through the rocker next to the door.
The guards in front of the door are not holding axes and hammers but muskets.
On the other hand, the statues on both sides of the gate are still in the standard dwarf style. On one side is Morgrim, the God of Engineers, and on the other side is the inventor of dwarf explosives and the founder of the Engineers Guild.
Along the way, every engineer along the way greeted Snorri warmly. With the grace of the goddess, he was probably the first rune user to receive such treatment since the completion of Riptide Pass.
On the periphery of the hall is a relatively low-end, basic weapons production line. The dwarves working here are generally young, and they can only be considered beginners in the engineering industry, which requires a lot of knowledge accumulation in addition to creative inspiration. p>
Most of the ballistas, hateful catapults and thunder guns produced here are sold to other dwarf fortresses, and Snorri's superficial engineering knowledge can't tell anything special.
Then walking inside, passing through two small doors guarded by guards, Snorri entered a slightly smaller workshop under the leadership of Bullock.
What is produced on the assembly line here are cannons and iron dragon hand cannons. These two weapons are also considered essential items in the relatively open dwarf fortress.
Among them, the iron dragon hand cannon is good at dealing with underground threats and mopping up a large number of low-level opponents, and the cannon is currently the most commonly used artillery in the dwarf army.
They can easily break the enemy's armor and are very effective against enemies wearing heavy armor.
They also have considerable accuracy and destructive power, and can cause huge damage to large monsters that are difficult for melee troops to deal with.
Of course, they can also be used to attack the enemy's castles and fortifications, and it is natural to kill ordinary living forces.
Precisely because of the versatility and low price of cannons, they would be dragged by horses and accompany the army when they went on a campaign.
Bullock briefly introduced the topics they were currently studying to increase the reloading speed of the cannon and increase the firing range of the Iron Dragon hand cannon, and then led Snorri deeper into the guild.
According to Bullock, the real fun is yet to come!
The two walked in again, and this time the gate that appeared at the end of the corridor was obviously much more heavily guarded. Several iron dragon gunners stared at it warily, and Bullock entered a series of passwords before successfully opening the gate.<
/p>
The area of the hall inside this door is obviously much smaller. There are almost no young and middle-aged dwarves working inside. "These are all formal engineers!" Bullock introduced.
A small artillery piece being produced attracted Snorri's attention. This four-barreled artillery was called an organ cannon because its four barrels placed side by side looked similar to a pipe organ.
The barrel of the organ cannon is smaller and lighter than the barrel of the ordinary cannon, which means that the organ cannon does not have the extremely long range and powerful firepower of the cannon.
However, the organ cannon can continuously fire a series of deadly shells at the same time, which can cause huge damage to a large group of lightly armored enemies gathered together.
Looking at such killing weapons, Snorri nodded repeatedly. They were perfect for dealing with goblins and rats, and because they were lighter, they could also be dragged underground.
Parked behind the organ cannon were several half-assembled Dwarf helicopters.
"Almost every dwarf who can come here will express his admiration for these little cuties! It is technology that has given wings to our sons of the mountains!" Bullock said proudly.
"Except you, of course. The wise High King Thorgren is our biggest customer! It is his generosity and enlightenment that promote the development of our aviation industry."
"Yes, I saw a squadron of helicopters on the helipad of Karaz-a-Karak!" Snorri answered.
"These are for Karak Kaderin! Praise the Butcher King! His wisdom and his force are equally extraordinary!" He did not hesitate to praise the big benefactor Block.
Observing these helicopters carefully, Snorri found that they were different from the military helicopters he remembered from his previous life.
It should be that these helicopters are equipped with heavy armor in order to have a certain resistance against the flying behemoths and powerful magics in this world, led by various dragons.
In order to balance the extra weight brought by the thick armor, engineers could only make adjustments to reduce the number of airborne weapons and reduce the cockpit space.
After getting Block's permission, Snorri sat in the cabin and briefly felt it. He found that the narrow cockpit was slightly rich for one dwarf, but it was quite difficult to squeeze in two people.
"No wonder the pilots of the Eternal Peak complain about losing weight every day!" Snorri thought of those tribesmen who, although looking at Lafeng, cursed non-stop and seemed to have some enlightenment.
"President Bullock, I'm afraid this design can only be used for reconnaissance, right?" Snorri spoke after a brief experience. He was a little disappointed with such helicopters. They were far from capable of the aerial strike envisioned by Snorri.
, dropping supplies, transferring troops, etc.
"You are worthy of being chosen by the goddess! You are really knowledgeable!" Bullock looked at Snorri as if he had met a close friend.
For the other dwarf lords, being able to realize the role of helicopters is already considered enlightened. Only Snorri, relying on the memories of his previous life, could expand his thinking and foresee the greater development prospects of air power.<

"As a rule, we should turn around when we get here. But since you asked, let's walk again! You are the ancestral goddess's chosen one, so there's no harm in making an exception!" Bullock looked proud. Thanks to Gridudus, the monthly ticket to the sky-high roaring and angry Baihong, and the monthly ticket to the honest Xiaobaijun.
