"Still too slow!" Jiang Jie frowned.
More than two thousand components were damaged, some of which were too large to be moved at once, as flying them back and forth would take too much time.
" Mekkatorque, have your men spread out and pair up with the Earthen. I say, you point, Earthen throw this to me! Chain number 17!" Jiang Jie didn't give Mekkatorque time to hesitate, speaking calmly.
Mekkatorque was completely impressed by Jiang Jie and quickly shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
He personally located chain number 17. Brannock Blackheart picked it up and threw it forcefully. Jiang Jie reached out, caught it accurately, and replaced it in a certain position. Then the voice rang out again. "Gear number 143!"
One device after another took off, with almost no pause in between.
If so, it's because the Gnomes sometimes can't remember the names of the devices. After all, there are too many types of devices, so it's normal to miss some. They can only search slowly: each device has a name on it.
The scanning of the game pod will not have any problems. In fact, if he wanted, Jiang Jie could point out the location of any device at any time, following Xiao Feng's instructions. Of course, he is too busy to do so, nor is it necessary.
Without exception, Jiang Jie caught each component accurately and then, under Xiao Feng's guidance, placed them in the correct positions.
The Gnomes and Earthen all sprang into action, throwing one device after another from the ground into the air, only to have them replaced in their proper places.
Three whole hours!
Three hours later, all the components were finally replaced, and Jiang Jie returned to the ground.
"Start it." Jiang Jie sat cross-legged, and the Earthen automatically formed layer upon layer of protective circles around him, driving away the Gnomes.
The high-intensity operation involved some gears weighing thousands of kilograms, which are usually installed using robotic arms. However, Jiang Jie lifted them up by hand and used the " Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand " technique to install them, which consumed a great deal of his Chi.
After three hours, his Chi was completely exhausted, leaving not a trace.
Sit cross-legged and circulate the Black Tortoise Longevity Art to accelerate the recovery of Chi.
Jiang Jie will never forget his identity: he is a martial artist.
He would seize every spare moment to cultivate, not to mention that this state of completely depleted Chi was the most suitable for cultivation.
Meanwhile, Mekkatorque personally went to the central control room and pressed a button.
Then, a screeching sound rang out, and all the gears began to turn.
All the Gnomes were incredibly tense, fearing something might go wrong. If even one gear malfunctioned, it could trigger a chain reaction of problems, rendering all their previous work futile. Who knew how many gears would break down, forcing them to start all over again.
Jiang Jie did not disappoint them.
All gears operate normally and smoothly.
In the central control room, Mekkatorque was trembling all over.
He suppressed his excitement and pressed button after button.
The lights in the dormitory area are on!
Water flow has been restored in the clean area!
Launch pad is functioning normally!
Power restored to the engineering laboratory!
Get everything that's still intact up and running!
Two-thirds of Gnomeregan survived!
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Mekkatorque knew that Gnomeregan was saved!
Although so many Rockjaw Trogg still roam, Gnomeregan has resumed operation, with a large number of weapons available and numerous defensive measures activated. Iron gates have been lowered, dividing Gnomeregan into dozens of zones, and the Rockjaw Trogg have been Slice and Dice.
Now, even without three hundred Earthen, the Gnomes can organize the most powerful mechanical forces and then eliminate the Rockjaw Trogg area by area.
Mekkatorque felt incredibly fortunate and excited, and at the same time, extremely grateful to Jiang Jie, Gnomeregan had finally met its demise in his hands and was now saved by him.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind:
We must thank Marquis Nicholas properly!
Since Gnomeregan no longer needs the Earthen's help,
Then the Earthen had no need to stay here. Following Jiang Jie's orders, Brannock Blackheart led them back to Uldaman through the tunnels they had dug from the Rockjaw Trogg to continue rebuilding Uldaman, while also being wary of attacks from the Rockjaw Trogg and the Dark Iron Dwarves.
As for Jiang Jie, he stayed here for the time being.
Having come all this way and given so much, Jiang Jie couldn't possibly come without expecting anything in return. He's not the Virgin Mary, and Gnomes isn't human.
He inherited the will of Emperor Thoradin and can be considered Keeper of humanity, but not Keeper of Gnomes.
Mekkatorque quickly organized an effective offensive and mopping-up operation, while arranging for mechanics to repair the damaged parts step by step. Meanwhile, apart from cultivating, Jiang Jie wandered around different parts of Gnomeregan every day, keeping his game pod open at all times to scan everything around him.
It could be said that Jiang Jie was actually stealing the technology of the Gnomes!
Although Xiao Feng didn't think Gnomes technology was anything special, different tech trees always have their charm. Learning from others can be beneficial, and besides, since he would be using Gnomes in the future, it wouldn't hurt to understand their technology first.
We can't expect Gnomes to learn 35th-century technology, can we?
Jiang Jie didn't care, but with such a huge gap in technological levels and a different technology tree, how could Gnomes possibly learn it?
Jiang Jie stayed in Gnomeregan for a full month.
Over the course of this month, the game pod finally completed a full scan of Gnomeregan, conducting a comprehensive and thorough analysis and intelligent learning of Gnomes technology. It even summarized the characteristics and shortcomings of Gnomes technology, listed the future development direction of Gnomes technology, and the intersection of Galactic Federation technology and Gnomes technology.
Mekkatorque worked for a month, and all the Gnomes worked for a month. The Rockjaw Trogg in Gnomeregan were finally wiped out, but the city was still in ruins. It was unknown whether it would take months or even years to fully restore it to its original state.
Building is always a hundred times harder than destroying.
"Then, it's time." On this day, Jiang Jie found Mekkatorque and handed him a stack of blueprints.
"What is this?" Mekkatorque didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly opened the blueprints and was stunned.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became, then his surprise turned into delight, and finally into boundless gratitude!
This was actually the overall design blueprint of Gnomeregan, with every component marked. It was a copy of the design blueprint that he had personally given to Jiang Jie a month ago.
Unlike the design drawings in Mekkatorque's possession, this design had undergone many modifications, with some parts explained in small text: why these modifications were made, what the shortcomings of the original design were, and what the advantages of the new modifications were.
Mekkatorque watched for a full hour!
After reading it, he immediately made a rough estimate in his mind:
If Gnomeregan is built according to this design, Gnomeregan overall defensive capabilities will be tripled!
" Nicholas, you're a genius! A genius among geniuses!" Mekkatorque exclaimed in astonishment, then added, " Titans Technology... truly remarkable!"
The reason he said this was because he believed that Jiang Jie's knowledge and abilities came from Uldaman, and that he had inherited Titans technology. This was especially true after Brann secretly told him that " Anveena," who had merged with Jiang Jie, had actually become Titan Keepers.
Although Jiang Jie didn't personally confirm it, both Brann and Mekkatorque were convinced that this was the case: Anveena obtained Titans Technology, and Jiang Jie naturally obtained Titans Technology as well.
Otherwise, how can we explain the level of technology and ability that Jiang Jie demonstrated?
Jiang Jie, of course, wouldn't refute these points. Let everyone guess; you'll never guess the truth anyway.
This conjecture is beneficial to Jiang Jie, so why refute it?
" Marquis Nicholas, the Tinkers' Court met yesterday and made an important decision!" Mekkatorque said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's like this: we want to appoint you as an honorary member of the Tinkers' Court, for life!"
