Chapter 266 The Age of Fire and Steam

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

 After thousands of years of honing skills, regardless of proficiency or experience, these two abilities of any race cannot be compared with the furnace family.

 Leaving the blast furnace world, Zhui Wuwu wanted 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 to experiment.

Here, he discovered that as an apostle, Philus had an amazing talent in blacksmithing. 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 Philes very candidly.

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

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

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

 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 has a temperamental temper.

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

 Zhui Wuxian once couldn't help but **** up with Philus in public.

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

 Hai Wuwu said it was impossible.

 Because prosthetic limbs require flesh and blood and bones to drive them, if they were all prosthetic limbs, they would be completely empty and just dead objects.

Pheles was so retorted that his teeth were shattered and his whole body made a rattling noise. Finally, he left angrily.

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

Some dwarves even suggested that Chui 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 glimmer of hope.

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

 Zhui Wuwu was afraid at this time, and his mind was full of regrets, very regretful.

 That's what craftsmen are like, and they can't stand it when it comes to professionalism.

That night, Philus found Hammer Endless.

The three dwarves from [The Strange Man of the Blast Furnace] 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." Him, tell him not to talk nonsense anymore, 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 a fool. You must not be like a fool."

“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.”

 “I beg you to raise your noble hand…”

 The dwarves came out to plead for mercy.

 “Shut up, everyone!”

Pheles 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.

Pheles pointed to an armor inside: "Didn't you say it's impossible? I've already made 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."

Pheles 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."

 Zhui Wuwu was stunned.

 The two people immediately discussed the various 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 back to his senses: "...Well, Mr. Apostle, how are you going to punish me?"

 “Punishment? Are you talking about the previous quarrel?”

Phyllus’s white skull emitted an eerie laugh: “Without discussion and collision, it’s difficult to have good ideas.”

“Although I was very unhappy at the time, I couldn’t find a reason to refute it.”

 “To build something, you must seek truth from facts and speak with facts. You are right.”

Since then, Hammer 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 from these quarrels.

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

 Hammer Wufen saw the powerful steam emitted by the stove for the first time, as well as the handle and hammer head it drove. The first thought in his mind was fear.

 He has forged sharp swords that can cut through iron and armor, and he has also created many wonderful practical props. Sufficient Almighty Stones from Uda City have allowed the fortress's output to increase day by day, and many sophisticated equipment have been exported to all over the world from here.

 But those are not as good as this seemingly simple jet copper furnace.

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

The fire and steam stove will drive various devices. It can make water flow back and forth, make flames become the breath of giant beasts, make steam become invisible hands, and promote the continuous operation of various tools.

 Following the empty shell.

 The heart was also made.

Hammer suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the copper furnace that spewed out a large amount of white gas. He seemed to see an incredible world: giant beasts that looked like dwarf fortresses, moving forward driven by the spurt from the heart of the copper furnace...

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

 Zhui Wuwu knows that it must be a favor from the gods.

He believed that the omniscient Yao must know better than himself what the fire and steam furnace would bring to the entire world.

 …

Lu Yao kept an eye on the follow-up of the steam stove the whole time.

Just as he expected, the birth of this device quickly attracted great attention from craftsmen and scholars, and a Taiwan-fired steam stove was sent to the Twin Cities.

 The fire-steam furnace became an indispensable helper in the seminaries, medical schools, and engineering schools. A gas stove can be used as a hand for dozens of people. As long as the shafts and other parts are installed, they can continue to operate stably.

This creative invention came to the stage and quickly caused a chain reaction, leading to ice-breaking in many fields.
