Chapter 266 The Age of Fire and Steam

Zhui Wuwu has always felt that in this world, no one knows smelting and forging better than dwarves.

After thousands of years of honing their skills, regardless of proficiency or experience, no race can compare with the furnace clan in these two abilities.

After leaving the blast furnace world, what Zhui Wuwu wanted to do was to find an opportunity to further advance the dwarven craftsmanship.

Coming to the new world created by God Yao, Zhui Wuwu was delighted to find that this world was rich in materials, and various combinations gave him more inspiration and room for experimentation.

Here, he discovered that as an apostle, Philus had an amazing talent in forging. This talent was not proficiency and stable craftsmanship, but more like a flowing electric light that could burst out new ideas at any time.

Zhui Wuwu doesn’t understand.

Why does an apostle with a high status still come to do hard work as a craftsman?

He was straight-tempered and asked Pheles very candidly.

The man with the ferocious bone face said: "This is my old profession, and traditional craftsmanship cannot be lost."

"You may not believe it. I became an apostle in the first place because I am a pretty good craftsman, but unlike you, I am good at using materials like bones."

Pheles, known as the King of Bones, although he has a terrifying bone body, is known for his gentle personality.

But when designing and manufacturing props or equipment, Philus will be extremely aggressive and often have unexpected and whimsical ideas. It is passionate about the tools of creation and can become fiery.

If the cooperating dwarf delays even a little bit, he will definitely be scolded by Philus.

Hammer Wuwu couldn't help but butted heads with Philus once in public.

The reason is that Fellers believes that the prosthetic limb can be expanded into a full-body prosthesis, so that the whole-body prosthesis can be replaced, which is extremely convenient and targeted.

Hammer Wuwu said it was impossible.

Because prosthetics require flesh and bone to drive them, if they were all prosthetics, they would be completely empty and just dead objects.

Philus was so retorted that his teeth were shattered and his whole body was rattling, and finally he left angrily.

Afterwards, the dwarves came over to comfort Zhui Wuwu. Everyone came over to say goodbye with sad faces. They thought he was dead and had already begun to take care of his funeral arrangements.

Some dwarves even suggested that Zhui Wuwu should pack up his things and run away that night, fleeing all the way to the dragon's lair in the north to join the Dragon King, and maybe there would be a chance of survival.

No matter how amiable the King of Bones is, an apostle is an apostle. He is the attendant closest to the gods. He is a being who is above other sentient beings and cannot be offended.

It was only at this moment that Zhui Wuwu was frightened. Regret filled his mind, very much.

That's how craftsmen are, and they can't stand it when it comes to professional matters.

That night, Philus found Hammer Endless.

The three dwarves from [Blast Furnace Stranger] tried their best to persuade him.

"Master Philus, I didn't mean to offend you. He is just a dwarf who knows nothing but blacksmithing. What bad intentions can he have? You punish him and destroy his mouth and throat, and we will help you mute him." He, let him stop talking nonsense, he will definitely remember this lesson."

"Please be patient. Everyone in the furnace family knows that Zhui Wuwu is the purest dwarf. He only knows how to smelt and forge. Other than that, he is an idiot. You must not behave like an idiot."

"Calm down, this is the newly brewed mead, drink some, it's delicious."

The King of Bones twisted his skull: "You guys, get out of the way! Hammer Wuwu is following me."

"Please."

"Please raise your hand..."

The dwarves came out to plead for mercy.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Philus said angrily: "Follow me, don't talk nonsense!"

He grabbed the hammer and headed out.

Zhui Wuwu waved goodbye to everyone with a tragic face, but when he turned around, he found that he was caught in a compartment of the fortress.

Philus pointed to a piece of armor inside: "Didn't you say it's impossible? I've already built it."

Zhui Wuwu was shocked.

The curiosity and professionalism of the craftsmen suppressed fear at this moment.

He carefully inspected the brass full-body armor and couldn't help but shake his head: "This is not a prosthetic body, it is just an empty shell that needs to be controlled. There is an essential difference between the two."

Philus also admitted readily: "Yes, my current ability is only enough to make an empty shell. In the future, I will try to make a heart, blood, muscles, and even a head. You can do it together."

Hammer Wuwu was stunned.

The two immediately discussed the details of the armor.

This was the prototype of the [Ghost Armor] that later became world-famous.

They discussed and revised it for several days and nights.

Only then did Zhui Wuwu come to his senses: "...Well, Lord Apostle, how are you going to punish me?"

"Punishment? Are you talking about the previous quarrel?"

Philus's white skull burst into eerie laughter: "It's difficult to have good ideas without discussion and collision."

"Although I was very unhappy at the time, I couldn't find a reason to refute it."

"To build something, you have to seek truth from facts and speak with facts. You are right."

Since then, Zhui Wuwu has restrained himself and has never contradicted Philus in public. But behind closed doors, bickering between the pair became routine.

On the other hand, a large number of sophisticated prosthetics, special equipment and various tools were born in these quarrels.

The birth of the [Fire Steam Stove] eclipsed all the finished products produced in the fortress in the past.

When Hammer Wujin saw the powerful steam from the fire and steam furnace for the first time, as well as the handle and hammer head it drove, the first thought in his mind was fear.

He had forged sharp swords that could cut iron and break armor, and also made many wonderful practical props. The abundant omnipotent stones from Wuda City have increased the output of the fortress, and many sophisticated equipment have been exported from here to all parts of the world.

But none of them can compare to this seemingly simple jet copper furnace.

This is the heart of a monster that has never been seen before.

The fire and steam furnace will drive various devices. It can make water flow back and forth, turn flames into the breath of giant beasts, and make steam into invisible big hands to drive the continuous operation of various tools.

After the empty shell.

The heart was also made.

Hammer Wujin suppressed his inner excitement and looked at the copper furnace that spewed a lot of white gas. It seemed that he saw an incredible world: one after another, the giant beasts like the dwarf fortress, stepped forward under the gushing of the copper furnace heart...

Philus next to him suddenly knelt on the ground and whispered something.

Hammer Wujin knew that it must be the gods who had bestowed blessings.

He believed that the all-knowing Yao God must know better than himself what the fire steam furnace would bring to the whole world.

...

Lu Yao kept an eye on the follow-up of the fire steam furnace.

Just as he expected, the birth of this device quickly attracted great attention from craftsmen and scholars, and one fire steam furnace after another was sent to Shuangcheng.

The fire steam furnace became an indispensable helper for the seminary, medical school and engineering school. One fire steam furnace can replace dozens of people. As long as the shaft and other parts are installed, they can operate continuously and stably.

This creative invention came on the stage and quickly caused a chain reaction, leading to breakthroughs in many fields.
