Chapter 459 Lophis City
Wang Zhan was not satisfied, because he knew that if he did not create a ship that could sail across the ocean, as the population of goblins continued to grow, he would be in a dilemma again.
At that time, even if Wang Zhan was unwilling, it would cause a new round of continental war.
This may be a good thing for some ambitious people, but Wang Zhan is not such a person.
He just wants the goblins to develop in a long-term and stable manner and have the strength to protect themselves, but he will never take the initiative to start a war.
And over the years, Wang Zhan has actually done so.
After possessing enough territory for the development of the goblin family, Wang Zhan did not think about destroying trolls or unifying the Alvin continent, but focused on the future of goblins.
Wang Zhan has a very clear self-awareness, goblins cannot rule over elves and trolls.
The goblins are inferior to the other two intelligent races, and even if they have alchemy, they may not necessarily be able to beat them.
Therefore, Wang Zhan personally led all the high-level alchemists in the Buya Kingdom to devote themselves to the research and development of steamships.
It took another nearly four years for the goblin family to finally create the first steamship in the Western Fantasy World.
However, because the steam engine is so large, the steam engine alone occupies nearly one-third of the position, and it is still a wooden ship, so that the ship can actually carry very limited people and goods.
Although the steam engine produced did not meet expectations, it made the alchemists of the goblin family such as Wang Zhan see their expectations, which means that ocean-going ships can be built.
Wang Zhan continued to work hard and began to transform the steam engine into smaller and larger ships. He gradually began to replace wooden hulls with metals such as iron.
After another three years, the goblins have finally built the first metal steamship!
Wang Zhan was overjoyed, and immediately began to order the construction of a shipyard in Lophis City, the east coast city of the goblins.
The name Lophis City is of course taken from Chen Luo's fake identity, and now he has been worshipped as a god by the goblins and called him "the great sage".
The alchemists of the goblin family are also divided according to the strength of the Western Fantasy World, but their highest honorary title is "Sage".
Today, the goblins have only thirteen sage titles in total, all of which were the goblins who were given alchemy inheritance by Chen Luo back then.
Above the sages is of course the "Great Sage", but so far only Chen Luo is alone. Even if Wang Zhan is the king, he has not added the title of Great Sage to himself to show respect for Chen Luo.
And because Wang Zhan and the other twelve goblins with the title of sages have been studying steam engines in Lophis City all the year round, they simply set up the Alchemy Academy here.
The king is here, and it has naturally become a political center.
With the passage of time, more and more goblins gathered here, and gradually it became a cultural center and an economic center.
When Wang Zhan opened the shipyard, he simply set the capital of the Kingdom of Buja to Lofis City.
What Chen Luo saw at this time was the city of Lofis, which was very different from the royal cities of other races.
First of all, there is no palace here. The most conspicuous building in the city is a statue of the great sage Lofis nearly 100 meters high.
Secondly, the largest and most magnificent is the Alchemy Academy.
This is where Wang Zhan and other alchemists usually do research and deal with government affairs. In fact, it has become a palace, but its academy has more functions.
Because Wang Zhan would be a tutor in the academy and teach students even when he was not busy at ordinary times.
The fundamental reason for this is that Wang Zhan does not need a harem.
As a normal human being, even if it is a goblin created by him, even if he is a goblin now, even if he faces a goblin every day, he still can't speak to a goblin woman.
At the beginning, the goblins thought that their great king had no intention of marrying a wife for the Kingdom of Bua, and their eyes filled with enthusiasm, deeply moved by Wang Zhan's dedication.
During that time, the slogan of the goblins was, "Learn from the great king, and fight for the rise of our clan!"
Some people even imitated Wang Zhan, did not make such and such achievements, never married, never married.
This made Wang Zhan look confused, but he couldn't explain it.
When the Buya Kingdom developed and grew, Wang Zhan still did not marry the queen, which made the Buya Kingdom feel wrong because he was in his forties.
Excluding the extraordinary factor, this is already considered a middle-aged goblin among ordinary goblins.
The goblins began to persuade Wang Zhan to marry a wife, so that there would be a successor to the Kingdom of Buya.
Wang Zhan began to firmly refuse, until various rumors began to appear in the goblins behind.
In order to appease the restless goblins, he was forced to find a random female goblin to marry.
But on the night of the wedding, Wang Zhan still couldn't speak, and finally slipped away in the name of research.
Later, in order to avoid such a thing, he directly lived in the Lofis Alchemy Academy.
The tallest alchemy clock in the Alchemy Academy is a huge alchemy clock.
Chen Luo's eyes began to quickly scan the entire city and found that the style here is obviously different from that of other intelligent races.
With a more modern atmosphere, the goblins here are no longer ragged and dirty.
Each of them is neat in appearance and well-dressed. The most obvious thing is that there has been a qualitative change in their spirit and spirit, which is completely different from the state they were in when they were slaves.
The houses in Lofis City are tall and tidy, and the streets are full of people, making it very lively.
There are shops and exquisite goods everywhere, and there are even advertising slogans hanging at the door of the shop, and there are goblins shouting loudly at the door to attract business.
After Chen Luo finished watching the city, he turned his attention to Lofis Alchemy Academy again.
Here you can see a large number of goblins running hurriedly with short legs, each holding a large stack of books, and hurriedly got into each classroom.
"Quick, quick, today is His Majesty's lecture!"
"Oh, hurry up and grab a seat. If you're late, you can only listen to the class outside!"
"Oh my God, I have an exam today and I can't go!"
The goblins were clamoring, but the pace under their feet was faster, obviously racing against time.
Everything here seems to be fast-paced, whether it is teachers or students, everyone is busy, everyone is eager.
Chen Luo couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Just as he expected, alchemy had changed the fate of the goblin family in just 20 years.
In this rush and haste, he saw the vigor and forward taste of the goblins. This is a big age that is flourishing and full of drastic changes for the goblins.
