"Yes, humans have been in contact with the empire located in the east of the mainland hundreds of years ago. According to merchants, it was a place full of gold, spices, and silk!"
Discovering that there was finally knowledge that Snorri didn't know, Bullock became excited.
"It was initially Tyrell merchants who opened up the trade route to Cathay. They passed through the Blackfire Pass and went north along the World's Edge Mountains. Then they passed through the Plateau Pass and entered the Land of Giant Bones to move farther east."<
/p>
Snorri was fascinated by what he heard. He was full of curiosity and yearning for the distant Cathay.
"The trade route they opened is called the Longtooth Road. Its end is Shangyang, the westernmost pass of Cathay. It is said that it is ruled by a son of the Dragon Emperor of Cathay." Bullock continued.
"Is there a rune colossus there?" Snorri couldn't help but ask.
"No, no, no, don't worry. In the north of Cathay, in order to defend against the invasion of the empire's northern nomads and the minions of Chaos, the Dragon Emperor himself built the Changyuan thousands of years ago and injected it with his own magic power to guard the empire.
Northern Xinjiang."
"A hammered version of the Great Wall!" Snorri thought to himself.
"The Changyuan is guarded by the eldest daughter of the Dragon Emperor. According to the descriptions of the merchants, the Changyuan is equipped with terracotta warrior guards, a tall construct that seems to be driven by technology."
"An enlarged version of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?" Snorri blurted out, but it was obvious that Bullock couldn't understand this sentence.
"From the merchants' descriptions and some simple information they brought back, we inferred that the technology for making these Yongshi will be helpful to us in repairing the Rune Colossus. If we can repair these powerful guys, it will definitely be of benefit to the entire Mountain Kingdom.
The strength is greatly enhanced."
Bullock began to look forward to the future, while Snooker fell into deep thought.
"This kind of imperial guard Yongshi only exists in Changyuan? What, on...? No?"
"Shangyang, the respected goddess's choice." Bullock corrected. "Maybe there is, but it shouldn't be placed in a conspicuous place. That kind of thing is also a secret to Cathay. Maybe the Yongshi of Shangyang are also like our Colossus.
Just hide it underground."
"Didn't we make some attempts? Collect information, learn techniques, etc." Snorri then asked.
"Ever since we learned about this news, our Engineers Guild has been planning." Bullock sighed. Seeing this, Snorri knew that the next step was not good news.
"There are many risks on the Tusk Road. Wild monsters or extreme weather encountered while crossing the mountains can be enough to destroy a caravan."
"But that's not the most terrifying thing," Bullock paused. "There is also a great goblin empire on the prairie, which has a large number of raiding troops, so only a few caravans can travel safely. It is said that if those
All the tribe’s troops are assembled, as far as the eye can see!”
"So many of the intelligence personnel we arranged either failed to reach Cathay at all or were damaged on the way back? But there are always..." Snorri continued.
"Yes, there are still some caravans that have returned successfully, but the news they brought back is either too superficial or simply cannot withstand verification. They made up some nonsense just to defraud us of our gold!" Bullock was so angry when he said this.
They all started shaking.
"We made these greedy and stupid guys pay the price! But that doesn't help us repair the Colossus!"
"Forget it, let's look at something else! If you have made any breakthroughs in related rune technology, be sure to contact me. We can give you a price that will definitely satisfy you!"
After receiving an affirmative reply from Snorri, the two of them turned their attention to the feet of the Colossus.
There are two groups of dwarves doing research there. They all have white beards and have many more various engineering products than the dwarves outside.
Snorri and Bullock walked to the left first. Several tribesmen were surrounding a strange-looking cannon.
"This is the vice president of the guild. He and his team are developing a real killing weapon!" Bullock introduced.
"We call this thing a flame cannon. We first pour hot oil and molten tar into the innermost part, and then inject air into the barrel, so that the pressure inside the barrel will quickly increase to the point where it is almost explosive.
We then place the igniter wrapped in fuel in front of the nozzle at the right time, and then release the pressure in the barrel. The hot mixture will then spurt out of the barrel, and then be quickly ignited by the igniter.
Burning boiling oil is poured from the sky into the enemy's ranks, and death fire rains from the sky. The flesh and blood on those bastards will immediately melt under the high temperature, leaving only charred bones on the ground!"
Bullock spoke with great emotion, his face showing an expression of gritted teeth, as if he was incinerating a pile of Skaven.
"However, the range and stability of this thing need to be improved. Well, one of them exploded not long ago!"
Bullock didn't want to say any more, and he took Snorri to the right. There were two dwarf flying machines parked here, and they were a little different from what they saw outside.
The engineering master responsible for this scientific research was different from the previous one who was indifferent to the arrival of Snorri and Bullock. He greeted them warmly.
"Good afternoon, dear Goddess of Choice! I am Priss Skywalker! Currently responsible for the research and development of aircraft."
Snorri greeted him, "Hello, respected master, can you introduce your work to me?"
The Skywalker in front of me is a hale and hearty old dwarf. He wears a leather windproof hat and beard as well as a pair of flying glasses. It can be seen that he is not only a master of engineering but also an excellent pilot.
"It's a great honor! Each of us wants to let the Ancestor Goddess know our results. My team is trying to enhance the firepower of the helicopter. You are from the Eternal Peak. You must know that the current helicopter can hardly do any damage to a large number of enemies.
!"
After receiving Snorri's affirmative reply, the old dwarf continued: "We are now looking for ways to reduce weight and increase power so that the helicopter can carry more weapons!"
Skywalker stretched out his hand and said: "This is our No. 1 prototype. We have installed a brimstone gun on it. This thing has higher shooting accuracy and can also target large units very well."
"This is our second prototype," the old dwarf pointed to another aircraft.
"We call it a bomber. In order to carry more bombs, we redesigned the body structure. Now, this thing can truly let our enemies experience what death means from the sky!"
"Sounds good, but why haven't I seen it outside?" Snorri couldn't help but ask, he thought this bomber was really good.
At this moment, the dwarves in the workshop suddenly heard a deafening loud noise.
