Chapter 321 The Rise of Blackstone
Armitage once again came to the Blackstone Plateau. As the most successful businessman of the Chaos Dwarves and a person who shouldered special tasks, he came here at least three times a year.
It can be said that Armitage is a witness to the growth of Gomus Greenskin. Seven years is not a long time for the Chaos Dwarves. Seven hundred years have passed.
7 years ago, these green skins had no external supply, they could only fight with stones and wood, but now...
Armitage looked to the southwest, and there was the famous Tusk Mountains. In the past, those sharp peaks could be clearly seen from here, but now, it has been shrouded in a large amount of black smoke.
The greenskins built a large number of smelting furnaces and forges there, and the clouds of smoke that covered the mountain peaks were caused by those facilities, and there were enough chimneys to form a forest.
The greenskins found a large mine at the Zom Volcano over there, and they also found a coal field in an isolated mountain about a hundred kilometers northwest of the Gomus Mountains.
Compared with these two resources, what depressed Armitage and even all Chaos Dwarves the most was the explosive population growth of the Greenskins.
Ever since Gunba launched a series of competitive events, the population of the greenskins began to rise in a straight line, and when it completed the unification of the greenskins in the Gomus Mountains by relying on its reputation alone, the population growth reached its first peak.
Yes, it's just the first one. The number has already made the hearts of the Chaos Dwarves jump, but it's still not the upper limit.
The reason is that the arena + unification only greatly reduced the internal friction of the green skins, but at that time the productivity had not been improved, and all aspects were still very primitive.
The average lifespan of a greenskin used to be less than 5 years old!
But now, it is conservatively estimated that they all have a lifespan that is several times longer than this. Just calculating the number of mature green spores that can be split in the extra time is enough to make people dumbfounded.
The Chaos Dwarves have finally seen what is called the fecundity of green skins. In 7 years, the number has gone from barely over a million to over 5 million now, and it is still accelerating. It is estimated that by this time next year, there will be an increase of nearly 2 million!
This is simply a disaster-level birth.
No way, who made the production technology of the green skins come up!
It has to be said that Kane finally used a series of means to abduct the green skin to the farming track he was familiar with.
To paint a great blueprint,
In other words, painting cakes to fool a green skin with a simple and honest side.
With its own continuous high-profile exposure, to ensure and authority and the right to speak.
The big arena series is used to release the fundamental needs of the green skins to feel uncomfortable without fighting.
Use research and development and do coolies to consume the vigorous energy of the green skins.
Population expansion, survival pressure, and killings are under control, so the green skins can only divert their cluster power to other areas, such as farming.
And a large number of farming operations also induced the "kid's light" of the green skins. Boys who solve problems by brainstorming began to appear. After a long time, manufacturing boys and engineering boys, this kind of green skin who is good at using brains was born.
And as long as it is born, it is like playing a game to climb technology, and the restrictions on a certain type of arms are lifted, and there will always be an endless stream of appearances.
At the beginning of the sixth year, the first orc inventor appeared. Inventions and creations have always been monopolized by goblins. However, Kane knows that it is the orcs who can really display the power of "I'm thinking...", because the orcs are more superior in terms of species, and they only appear in the context of environmental issues The high-level green skin, and the wisdom green skin based on it is also the highest level.
The orc technician was born, and the next one was the giba, the big giba. In the short term, there is no hope for a big tech master, but when the tech master comes out, the technology of the green skins will enter the age of firearms at a frightening speed. After all, their so-called invention essence should be said to be discovery, a process of self-discovery of genetic information . This is the same routine as a Warlock's awakening of skills from his blood.
Before the birth of a giba, Kane pretended to be a technician through brain-inserted remote control, and played the role of leading and integrating the giba.
He can't intervene too deeply, otherwise he will go astray. If the technology of the green skins is no longer green skins, but becomes a poor imitator of the technology system he has mastered, it will be a huge loss for him. He doesn't want the greenskins' unconstrained abilities to be used in punk style. He also hopes that his team can absorb the ideas of the greenskins and develop some interesting projects.
This is actually a kind of reflection and attempt to solve the shortcomings of his own system.
High control brings high restraint, high restraint brings order habit, order habit brings rigid thinking, and rigid thinking affects creativity.
A group that shouts that beauty comes from creation every day is the least creative. It has to be said that things in the world are sometimes so ironic.
Even Kane himself admits that he and his subordinates are actually stereotyped imitators with serious craftsmanship. After order, emphasizing rationality, and despising emotion, the type is completely set.
Through repeated operations, he and his team were able to perfect the acquired technology, continuously enhance efficiency, simplify the process, and refine the technology. Soil (social climate).
Because of this, in addition to paying attention to the impact of technology output, Kane also pays attention to the social atmosphere of the green skins. He did not make the green skins into a simplified version of the iron-blooded swarm, but let them keep themselves as much as possible This can be seen from the various punk-style green skin creations.
In comparison, Kane's incarnation in the world of Dark Souls does not have such an idea. It can also be said that he did not have the environmental soil for the birth of this kind of thinking.
In the world of Dark Souls, Kane's incarnation is in a state where the environment is unfavorable, the enemy is overwhelming, and he is struggling to survive. Therefore, he is almost a concrete display of his own inherent technology. Juezhong was straightened by him, the steam is still steam, but the punk flavor is getting weaker and weaker.
Armitage, the Chaos Dwarf, observed with his eyes and memorized with his heart, and firmly recorded a large amount of blackstone and greenskin information.
For him, the job has become more and more onerous. Even if he is a warlock, he can use spells to help in many places.
The main reason was that he had to write a report afterward. Now, there was really too much content worth writing. The last time he went back, it took more than half a month just to write the report.
"Ha, Heizi, it's you again. I've already remembered your face, isn't it amazing?" An orc walked over shaking from side to side, and greeted Armitage.
Most orcs walk like this, in a rather ugly posture, shaking from side to side, but they don't actually have a limp.
"Boss Broken Tooth, your medal is still shining!"
The orc with a broken fang immediately grinned and told for the Nth time how it won the medal with joy.
Green skins lack long-term memory. Many people say that it is because they are stupid and have poor memory, but what happened to Broken Tooth and some other orcs, let Armitage know that it is not the green skins that have poor memory, but their Good at selective forgetting.
If the memory is really poor, how can the green skin in front of him remember every detail of winning this medal clearly? You must know that there were more than 30 gladiatorial matches.
But Armitage didn't care about Broken Tooth's feats and its far from exquisite medal, Amiguel cared about Broken Tooth's armor.
He clearly remembered that when he came last time, the broken tooth was still wearing the non-uniform, relatively brittle, dusty iron sheet. Although it still looks gray and black, some scratches on it The scratches and the shine of the places that are often touched and rubbed all show that this is already a steel material, even if it is rough, it is still steel.
Moreover, he can also see the obvious improvement in the craftsmanship of this armor. In a word, it has become more compact and fit.
"In the current Blackstone tribe, how many green skins are there for small leaders like Broken Tooth?" Armitage asked himself such a question.
He knew that Gunba's big competitive events had never stopped since the day it was born, and a champion warrior was born almost every month.
As for Broken Tooth, not to mention the Golden Crown, they didn't even get the Bronze Crown, and they just entered the top sixteen.
According to the rules, after entering the top 32, even if they still want to win honors, they still have to participate in another series of competitions. They will not get medals, but other rewards, such as armor and weapons.
The big competition has been in operation for more than six years, and there are nearly a thousand green-skinned orcs like Broken Tooth.
This is a samurai out of millions of greenskins by relying on bravery. It is rarer than one out of ten thousand. The combat power composed of these guys is far from what the greenskin elites in the past - the big man war group can match of.
Armitage could no longer imagine what kind of military power would be needed to stop such a warrior, armed with full armor, forming a sharp knife battle group.
After chattering with Broken Tooth for a long time, Armitage greeted the slave, pushed the gift he brought to Gunba, and headed for the Blackstone Plateau.
Greenskins have all sorts of vices, including asking for cards, but just say that these are gifts for Gunba, and there will be no hindrance, and no greenskins will ask for them.
The greenskins are in awe of Gunba.
Regarding this issue, Armitage has raised it more than once in the report, but until now it has not attracted the attention of the castellan, blacksmith and prophet. (Purgatory City Master, Demon Blacksmith, Warlock Prophet, but these are the names that outsiders refer to several types of rulers of Chaos Dwarves, not self-proclaimed.)
Speaking of this, Armitage hated his predecessor a little. His predecessor was good at showing off words, and the reports he wrote were more like telling stories, with all kinds of exaggerations and no rigorousness at all. In his report, he dismissed the green skin's magic as useless.
However, Armitage saw that it was precisely because the green skins possessed magical powers such as projection that they were able to watch the big competitive events widely, and then the reputation of Gunba was widely spread. Many green skins with simple ideas have already connected it with gods.
This is actually a very scary thing.
The Greenskins already had a deformed enthusiasm for killing, coupled with a fanatical following mentality, it was really an order to destroy everything.
Armitage deeply felt that Gunba had reached a certain critical point, and if this continued, he might become the third god of green skins, a god who wandered in the mortal world.
If that were the case, it would probably be a disaster for all the creatures in this world.
You know, green skins are not only found in the Gomus Mountains, but also in the Spine of the World Mountains, and the Mountains of Sorrow. With a base of tens of millions of people, the proliferation is also super crazy. No matter how armed they are, Armitage really can't think of what kind of power can stop the torrent of destruction of the green skins.
Armitage walked and watched all the way. Under the cliffs of the Blackstone Plateau, he took a large elevator.
This is a very remarkable engineering miracle, because it rises more than 1,000 meters from the ground. It took the green skins two years to complete this miracle, and now, three more of it have appeared in one breath, and they are obviously more powerful. Sturdy and stronger.
At the top of the elevator, he saw piles of pedal boys, a new kind of green-skinned coolies, sitting in rows on hard seats, holding the horizontal bar in their hands, and then pedaling, The rotation of chains and gears, through a series of force transmission, finally turns into majestic mechanical force, thus completing the lifting of the counterweight of the elevator.
Of course, the conversion and concentrated application of this force is not only used in elevators, but also in many other fields. This technique was invented by the goblins, but is now better used by the Green Mechanic Kid.
Armitage has even seen a similar pedal-wheel locomotive, which drives the mine cart carriage and runs on the steel track, transporting coal from the isolated mountain to the large refinery near the Zom volcano in an endless stream, and also transporting materials in batches. transported back to Gushan to support the coal mining there.
Today, even the Chaos Dwarves have begun to imitate this technology.
In the Flame Empire Zaar Nagrond, the Chaos Dwarves drove out slaves and laid a large number of railway tracks there to connect cities and fortresses.
It has to be said that rail transportation is really a good thing, and it is of great help to the chaotic dwarves who are short of labor.
And this set of related technologies was stolen and brought back by him Amigoll. For this reason, he was received by the Supreme Lord and blessed by the Dark Father.
But when he thought of the great Chaos Dwarf trying to steal technology from the stupid green skin, he felt very uncomfortable, and not just uncomfortable...
