Isaac: "..."
He felt that Claire was insulting his IQ. This was no longer an insult, but was rubbing his IQ on the ground.
Isaac pointed at the cork with an expressionless face and said, "Are you going to use this cork to transport all the ores?"
Claire stepped forward and hugged Isaac's shoulders, pointed at the drawings he had modified and said, "Put this thing away, and I will introduce the principle to you."
Isaac hesitated for a moment, but received the design drawings into Spatial Ring, and replied, "Tell me, I want to see how you do it."
Then Claire explained the principle of Steam Engine to him, and even laid out the preliminary drawings. Next, it was up to Isaac to improve and produce it.
This Steam Engine does not need to consume Monster Core, it only needs to burn coal, and there happens to be a coal mine among the four minerals. In addition to being used to burn metal ingots, it can also be used as a power to transport ore.
Isn't that wonderful!
After Isaac listened to the introduction of Claire, he couldn't put it down after looking at the preliminary design drawings of Claire. He spread it out on his legs and studied it carefully.
Although this thing is not as important as your own airship, it is still quite interesting to practice with.
After arriving at the destination, Claire began to organize a construction team to build a residence. The miners who came to mine also went to various mines to start mining work. With the help of professionals that Claire had negotiated with the Lixis Merchant Guild to stay, there were no problems during the mining process. In a few days, the efficiency of the miners could be improved again after they became familiar with the work process.
The construction teams responsible for building the residences were all brought by Claire from Nafu City, and there were several Minotaurs inside. Because there was a lot of construction in Nafu City, these construction teams all had rich experience and built the residences very quickly. Houses were pulled up out of thin air on the empty land.
And not even two days after these people came, Claire discovered that businessmen who smelled the smell of money had come to see this place and started to set up small stalls to sell things, mainly selling food and daily necessities. Because there was less competition and more customers here, they made a lot of money in a few days.
Claire did not send anyone to stop it, nor did he feel that the other party had made money from him. Instead, he felt very happy.
This is a good start. After some necessary public facilities are built and the trade system is established, the town will be able to get on the right track.
After four or five days like this, Isaac tinkered with the first-generation alien version of Steam Engine in the house, and improved it to improve energy utilization and reduce the loss caused by coal burning.
"It's done! Claire! It's done!" Isaac excitedly raised a huge machine and ran out of the house.
If the dwarf Teklin is here, he can build it in a day or two faster. The skills of the blacksmiths here are very average, and some parts have to be repeated many times to get the effect he is satisfied with.
"Where are you going to experiment?" Isaac was still holding the huge machine with both hands and looking around. He had used Levitation Spell on that Steam Engine, so it wasn't heavy at all.
After seeing it, Claire also came over and brought Isaac to a circular train track that had been laid in advance. The accompanying engineers took Steam Engine from Isaac's hands, put the uncased Steam Engine on the locomotive and placed it on the train track.
Then, the engineers froze and looked at each other, "What's next?"
They don't know what this thing is for yet.
"Burning coal!" Isaac hates that iron cannot become steel. These guys can't use such great things that they finally made.
Isaac rolled up his sleeves and jumped up, shouting loudly, "Where's the coal!"
The four mines were already in operation, so this town as a gathering area naturally had no shortage of coal. After a while, someone used a small cart to pull the dark coal mine over.
Isaac poured it into the boiler below, then threw a fireball into it with a wave of his hand, igniting all the coals inside.
After a while, thick smoke slowly emerged, and Isaac couldn't react and took a few breaths.
But at this time, Steam Engine also started to operate. The whistle sounded, and Isaac felt his body jump back. The locomotive actually started to move forward slowly.
Isaac jumped slightly, flew into the air and looked down. The train burning coal was moving forward slowly. When Isaac saw this scene, his eyes lit up, showing child-like excitement, and landed next to Claire.
Pulling Claire's clothes, he shouted, "Did you see it! It's really moving!"
Claire also had a happy smile on his face and said softly, "The transportation problem has also been solved."
The engineers on the side were taking notes carefully with pen and paper. They will be responsible for the installation and disassembly of these things in the future. Isaac and Claire cannot stay here all the time and do it themselves.
After the first Steam Engine appeared, the production speed of the subsequent Steam Engine was much faster. Within two days, Isaac led the craftsmen to produce another batch.
There are four mines, which cannot be solved by just one locomotive. Moreover, Claire also plans to build a manned train so that the miners working inside can take the train back to this town during their shifts. Otherwise, how can it be possible to promote the development of this town without consumption.
At first Claire thought about making a train from Nafu City to here, but gave up after thinking about it, not because of the high cost of laying tracks, but mainly because there are so many trains in the world. There are all kinds of Warcraft, but it is too far away from Nafu City. It is not as close as the four minerals. There are too many variables. Maybe the track I laid in the morning was destroyed by Warcraft that night.
The cost of such maintenance is too high, and the produced metal ingots can also be transported back to Nafu City by carriage. The metal ingots are different from the raw ores. They have been refined, and the transportation cost is much lower than that of a large amount of ores.
After not staying for a week, Claire and Isaac returned to Nafu City. The main things there were almost done. Claire could run stably even if he was not there, but the main reason was the news brought by Regan: Shane came from the royal capital.
After entering Nafu City, Isaac separated from Claire. Before leaving, he warned Claire: You can't come to him even if something happens these days! Even if you ask him, it's impossible to help.
His airship research and design has reached the most critical stage. He completed the design in the town, and now it is time to start production when he returns.
If Claire hadn't come to harass him from time to time with a streetlight or Steam Engine, he would have probably built the basic frame of the airship.
Claire patted his chest and promised not to disturb the other party in the past few days and let him get the airship.
But having said that, if something happens, the first person Claire will call will definitely be Isaac.
After all... it's hard work for those who can do it.
Claire arrived not too late. After Shane arrived, Regan immediately sent the knights from the military camp to report. It only took Claire and Isaac's Flying Spell to rush back from there in a few hours.
Entering Baronial Manor, Regan came closer.
Claire glanced at Regan unexpectedly, feeling a little more haggard than before he went out.
"Regan, if you are really too busy, just hire more administrative staff. We are not short of money now."
Regan rubbed his face and replied, "It's okay, young master, everything has been taken care of. This is the fatigue caused by my review. Just take a sleep and it will be fine."
Claire nodded, "Please rest, where is Shane now?"
"Master Shane is waiting for you in the living room now."
