Chapter 17 A Simple and Primitive Steam Engine

If the industrial power of the Chaos Dwarves is calculated based on the industrial power of the Chaos Dwarves and the industrial ability of the Chaos Dwarves is set to 100 points. Then the portions obtained by their cousin dwarves should be 60 points, and humans should be 50 points or 40 points. Because of Valed, the score of Sylvania, which has slightly started the industrialization process, is 20 to 30 points. Although there is not much ability to mechanize production, after all, the countries such as Batonia and Tyriel, which have basic tools and human forging methods, will give a 10 point. If the green skin is 5 points, and then the idiot wood elves who advocate absolute nature is 0 points.

This is almost the same as the industrial structure of the entire old world. Of course, the full score is 120.

Then the question is. What should Vared, like Sylvania, be like a student who fails, be able to rapidly improve his strength before the next exam, reaching a good score of 85 points, even 100 points, or even full marks?

The answer is of course plagiarism.

In the latest collaboration with the Chaos Dwarf, several things that Chaos Dwarfs did not mention were added. First, Vared needed Chaos Dwarfs to provide technical assistance to Sylvania, hoping that Chaos Dwarfs would establish an engineering college in Sylvania to teach vampires related mechanical knowledge.

Second, Vared hoped that the Chaos dwarves would import a complete set of industrial equipment to Sylvania, especially about metal smelting and power machinery equipment.

Third, Vared hopes to send a larger number of vampires to visit, study, and even live for a while.

The above three points are Valed's method. He hopes to master most of the professional knowledge and skills of the Chaos Dwarf in a short period of time, ten or twenty years, and then spend almost the same time organically combining these technologies with the undead engineering he masters. Just like the fully automatic production line he used, he integrated the production of undead soldiers. He formed a complete set of military industries related to the undead army, as well as other daily product production institutions.

These are Vared's plan. He even made up his mind that if the Chaos Dwarves were really willing to help him improve the industrial system of Sylvania, then it would not be a big deal even if they really formed an alliance with them and then attacked the Dwarves Kingdom - the premise that when attacking the Dwarves Kingdom, the Sigma Empire would not interfere - after all, they and the Dwarves Kingdom are allies in the traditional sense.

In this way, Vared wrote all his plan - using the pros and cons of the Chaos Dwarf, and sent letters to all the four families of Kastein, Nirakochi, Abethracin, and Ramiya.

He also ordered the Castein family to draw five reorganized legions, a total of 60,000 troops to the vicinity of Titila, in the name of Count Castein. At the same time, those who had been improved were also transported to the undead soldiers of "worker ants".

New drilling machines and drainage machines also need to be transported to improve the production model of the northern mining area. At the same time, Vared also needs to build two to three quarries near Titila. Collect stones to build them, and a fortress under discussion with General Rana.

After that day, Vared also joined General Rana's ranks of "looking at the map". After careful thinking and discussion, he and General Rana finalized a plan for a complete set of fort defense systems. He decided to build a total of six fortresses in the six mountainous areas near Titila, where the terrain is dangerous. The design of the fortress system attempted to adopt the castle design of the Sigma Empire and combine the mountain fortress design of the Dwarf Kingdom.

This will be a big project. Despite the new tools, it is very likely to obtain the new technology of Chaos Dwarfs. However, this is still a very big project. Because Sylvania is in the north, there is almost no human resources available in the northern defense zone.

Indeed, in the mining areas, there are also some humans, goblins, orcs, and chaotic beast-turned slaves in the mining areas. But the number has never been very large. After all, excluding the previous wars against the undead on the border, Sylvania is also a model of being kind to the neighbors in the old world. As Vared said before, he adopted a garrison strategy from beginning to end. This is also one of the reasons why Magnus, the emperor of the Sigma Empire, believed him so easily.

For this reason, Sylvania captured not many prisoners of war, and most of them were cut into deceased. Therefore, the number of slaves working in the mine was quite small. It was already the limit to barely maintaining the work of the mine, so naturally people would not be separated and worked in the quarry.

"Perhaps we should continue to improve the capabilities of worker ants. Since it can be used for construction or fortifications, it can naturally be used to mine metal minerals and stones."

So Vared told Lilia about this, hoping that he could improve the worker ant's ability. I believe this is not too difficult for Lilia, a genius magic girl (?).

While building fortifications in the north, Valed also made a request to the Chaos Dwarf through communication crystals. The words were ambiguous, but this hero always did it.

"Dear Messenger of Chaos Dwarf, I now give you a good news." Vared smiled and said to the black fire warlock on the other end of the communication crystal: "After some thought, I have made a choice. The conditions proposed by your country are indeed very generous. I have to say that if your country can really provide help to Sylvania as you say, then we are indeed willing to carry out a series of mutually beneficial and friendly cooperation with your country."

"Of course, I appreciate your evaluation. You are indeed an excellent and wise ruler." On the other side of the communication crystal, the black fire warlock showed a surprise face. It was only four days before he talked to Valed. Unexpectedly, Valed had already made such a judgment. It seems that His Majesty's strategy is likely to come true.

"Thank you for your praise, too." Vared said to him: "In fact, in principle, as the Count of the Castein family, I can already represent my family, representing the plan of nearly a thousand vampire nobles in the Earl Castein territory, and the 300,000 undead army in the Earl's territory. At the same time, I will do my best to convince the other three earls to join this strategy together."

"It would be great if that's the case! Trust me, if you can really convince Silvania to form an alliance with us, we will never treat you badly."

"Yes, of course, I've always believed this." Vared chuckled, "So, for this, to be able to convince the rest of Sylvania. Here, I think I should discuss some of the difficulties that need to be solved."

"What is the difficulty? Weapons? Money? Or do you need some slaves? In fact, if it is a slave, we can provide many, living or dead. In fact, the corpses of slaves who are exhausted in our factories are piled up in mountains every day! Generally speaking, we throw those corpses directly into the incinerator. It would be great if these things can help!"

Hearing the other party talking about the slave's handling method without any scruples, Vared secretly sighed: "It's worthy of being an evil race." Then he slowly shook his head: "No, it's not because of this reason. Material compensation is indeed very interesting. However, today, I want to talk to you about strategic issues."

"Strategic question? What is it like?" asked the Black Fire Warlock.

"Although it's a bit embarrassing. But that's the case. We Sylvania, when facing the Dwarf Kingdom, have been in a defensive position for a long time. We have many considerations, so strategically, our northern line is a defensive position. Can you understand this?"

"Of course, but I think this is exactly why your country should form an alliance with us. As long as we join forces to attack them, then the victory will definitely be ours!"

"Of course, I believe this. But the question we are going to discuss now is how to make other people—the other Sylvanian nobles believe. What do you believe—believe it safe to fight the Dwarf Kingdom."

"Safe? I don't quite understand what you mean. You confused me."

"No, no, no, no, it's not a big deal." Vared chuckled: "The dwarves took an offensive position against us, in fact they had just wanted to force us to obtain a piece of mineral-rich territory from us. At the same time, several raids were launched on our border patrol troops. At the same time, the vast majority of Sylvanian nobles believed that fighting the dwarves in the mountains was very dangerous."

"I've heard of the first thing you said, but the second thing...if an alliance-"

"—We don't know the power of your empire." Vared interrupted him directly: "What I hope now is that once war begins, we must first make sure that once war begins, the territory in northern Sylvania is not lost. And those places are mountainous lands, that is, if war begins, we will fight against the dwarves in the mountains in the north. The dwarves have coveted our land for a long time. What we fear is that as both sides carry on, the dwarves attack us, and thus lose their territory in the north."
