Age of Empires From Scratch

Chapter 192: Cogito ergo sum

  Chapter 192 Cogito Therefore I Am

  If Tony is willing to build a weapon production line in Cold Winter Town, David doesn't even have to worry about the future army equipment in Cold Winter Town.

  However, he knew that it was impossible for Tony to build a weapons factory in a strange world from the beginning, and he knew this from the fact that he only planned to build a laboratory.

   As for the future? It depends on how the relationship between Tony and Winter Town, and David will develop.

   Walking down from the roof of Glamorgan Castle, Tony is ready to take a closer look at this beautiful town.

  When standing on the roof, he can clearly and straightforwardly understand the surrounding environment: there are mountains, waters and forests, the air is fresh and the temperature is moderate, it is really a good holiday resort.

  In addition to the laboratory, Tony is also considering building a vacation house of his own.

  The only shortcoming is that he has no way to freely travel between the two worlds, and must ask Steve to help him lead the way.

   "What I want to say is, is there no way for me to go back and forth freely like Steve?"

  Because they reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with David, the two are now considered partners, and Tony spoke a little more casually.

   "It can't be done yet." David didn't get too entangled in this matter: "Maybe it can be done in the future?"

   "Oh? Is there any trigger condition?"

   "It may have something to do with the development of my town."

  David didn't hide it. The partners in the town were more or less aware of this kind of thing, and there was no point in hiding it.

  As for Tony, who was here for the first time, looked at David in front of him, not sure if he was serious or joking? For a moment, he didn't know how to reply to this sentence.

   What do you want to say? Said that he would do his best to help David develop Cold Winter Town? Their relationship doesn't seem to be that good yet.

  Wish David's Cold Winter Town a smooth future? He said it as if it had nothing to do with him. It was a bit inappropriate when he just reached a cooperation agreement and he was still preparing to set up a laboratory.

  So Tony could only return an awkward smile, shook hands with David, and patted the other hand on the hands they were holding.

  It is up to the other party how to understand it! It doesn't matter if it's a blessing or an encouragement, and it can even be understood as two people cheering together!

   Anyway, look forward to the future!

  Leading Tony and Steve down from the roof, several people walked out of Fort Glamorgan and headed straight to the north.

Tony is not going to visit the farmland area and residential area over there today, and even if he wants to build his own holiday estate, he will not choose a residential area where most people live together, but will choose one he likes alone. The place.

When he was on the roof of Fort Glamorgan, he felt that the north side was good, and it was much more open than the south side. In addition, the Ark reactor would be built here, and his laboratory would definitely be built here. He began to think Do you want to build a manor in the forest?

   "What kind of animals are those?" While walking north along the broad road, Tony noticed a lot of strange and cute creatures moving in the large open space to the west, and these small animals looked familiar.

   "That's Eevee." David glanced, and saw two Eevees fighting, and further away by the river, there were a few Squirrels basking in the sun: "The one in the distance is the Squirrel."

   "Sounds familiar."

   "This is a magical creature called Pokémon, which has some special abilities."

   "Oh!" Tony suddenly remembered why this thing looked familiar. There seemed to be Pokémon in his world?

  Looking at Steve uncertainly, Steve nodded at him: "The first Squirrel came to Cold Winter Town, and these Pokémon were found by that Squirrel."

  After Tony confirmed his guess, he felt that this place became more and more magical!

   Walking all the way into the forest, the road to the north of Cold Winter Town has been built into the forest. If you continue to go deeper, one of the wide roads will lead to the water plant and power plant, and the other will lead to the mine.

  The simple railway built by the miners to transport ore has been dismantled, and the rails were not wasted. They were all returned to the furnace by the mixer and remade into steel beams, which became part of the infrastructure of Cold Winter Town.

   “What a peaceful and beautiful place.”

  Looking at the surrounding scenery, Tony wants to come here to build a holiday house. At the same time, he also urgently hopes to build the Ark reactor as soon as possible, so that Cold Winter Town can use enough clean energy.

  He is really worried that the excessive use of fossil energy will destroy the beautiful natural scenery here.

"Currently, what kind of energy does Rinwinter Town use to generate electricity? Firepower? Hydropower? Solar energy? If it uses coal and other things to generate electricity, I suggest that you make some modifications to the power plant first. I will send some small reactors to ensure that Rinwinter The basic needs of Wintertown."

   "Are you afraid that thermal power plants will damage the environment?"

   "Yeah, how beautiful is it here?"

"Don't worry, we are currently using a special energy source called crystal mine, which is clean and pollution-free... It's just that the output is too low, so I will ask Steve to find you to build a reactor for Winter Town." There is no such thing as crystal mine. There is nothing to hide, and he believes that Tony has seen the crystal ore long ago, and Steve's hammer of redemption is made of crystal ore as the main material.

"Crystal ore? Do you mean the material used for the hammer that Steve used? This thing is a kind of energy source?" Tony realized that the purple crystal weapon that Steve often held in his hand was actually a kind of weapon he had never seen before. He didn't know about the new energy. He always thought that the energy contained in the hammer came from the holy light instilled by Steve.

   "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

   "You never asked again."

  Being blocked by Steve's words, Tony, who almost had a heart attack, secretly wrote down this 'revenge'. But it also reminded him that Steve seems to be hiding a lot of secrets, and he must dig out all the secrets of this guy when he goes back!

  Continue to walk forward, and soon you will see the waterworks and the power plant.

  The two factories do not occupy a particularly large area, but considering the size of Cold Winter Town, this is already a very large factory.

  Tony Stark didn't go in for a visit, but just took a general look at the situation, and had a rough judgment on the situation of the factory in his heart.

  At this time, he thought of another question: "How to deal with the wastewater and garbage in Winter Town?"

   "There is a special garbage and wastewater treatment plant, located in the northeast of the town." David looked around: "If you are standing here, it is slightly south of our east."

   "Why is the wastewater treatment plant over there?" In order to facilitate the discharge of sewage, the factory will be built next to the river. What is the layout of Lindong Town? Actually put it in an inland location away from the river?

   "It is a special device made using alchemy to treat various waste water and garbage."

  According to David's idea, it would be perfect if alchemy could be used to directly decompose all kinds of non-recyclable and non-degradable garbage into atoms.

  As for the sewage, in a world with mysterious powers, it is not difficult to deal with it. It is even possible to directly clean and purify the sewage into clean water.

Hearing that mysterious power is used to dispose of garbage to ensure that it will not pollute the environment, Tony suddenly felt that if he could bring these garbage and sewage treatment technology back to the earth through technology, his Stark Industries Group could open up new horizons. business.

  Clean energy, garbage, and sewage treatment were all the most sought-after environmental protection projects of his time, and they were indeed problems that many countries on the planet urgently hoped to solve.

  As long as the Stark Group comes up with relevant technologies, even if it is just an immature technology prototype, it can stimulate the stock market and make the stock price go up.

   Just when Tony began to think that maybe he should continue to deepen his cooperation with Cold Winter Town, a beautiful young woman walked in front of him.

  Beautiful young women are not uncommon, but this woman is accompanied by two very large silver giant wolves, which is very interesting.

   Looking carefully, I found that there were several cubs behind the two giant wolves.

   "Huh? Why did you come to the forest all of a sudden?" Laura greeted David from a distance, and when she got closer, she also found Tony, a stranger: "This is... the newcomer?"

   "This is Tony Stark, invited by David to help Cold Winter Town build a reactor."

   "Oh, welcome to Cold Winter Town!" Of course Laura recognized Tony Stark. She asked this to judge whether this Tony was brought by Steve? Or is it from another universe than Steve? "I'm Lara Croft, just call me Laura."

   "Nice to meet you, Laura." Tony looked at Steve next to him, his eyes full of doubts.

  Steve nodded at Tony, making sure that this was the Laura he guessed, and then quietly admired the weird expression on Tony's face.

   Seeing that David was chatting with Laura, Tony immediately asked Steve in a low voice: "Is there anyone else I'm familiar with in this magical place?"

   "I don't know either, because I'm not sure who you are 'familiar with'."

  Although Tony didn't get a clear answer, he also knew one thing from Steve: the so-called foreign visitors here in Winter Town are probably acquaintances.

  He also thought of another thing, that he may also be an 'acquaintance' in the eyes of others.

   Seeing Tony's strange face, Steve immediately reminded: "Don't worry about this kind of thing, when you doubt, you exist!"

   "I think, therefore I am. Descartes?" Tony is very knowledgeable, he just wondered that Steve would use Descartes' theory to enlighten himself: "If I remember correctly, you majored in fine arts."

   “I have been learning new knowledge during this time.”

   "Is it because of this?"

   "Because of other reasons." When talking about this matter, Steve's face was full of bitterness, and he felt that he had fallen into a huge pit. Although he has not yet taken over that position, he has already begun the search for a successor.

   The one in front of you is a good choice.
