Hammer Endless had always felt that in this world, no one knew smelting and forging better than the dwarves.
After thousands of years of polishing their skills, no race could compare to the Furnace Ones in these two abilities, regardless of proficiency or experience.
Leaving the Blast Furnace World, what Hammer Endless wanted was to find an opportunity for the Dwarves to further their craft.
Coming to the new world created by Yao God, Hammer Endless was delighted to find that this world had an abundance of materials, and the various combinations gave him more inspiration and room to experiment.
Here, however, he found that Fellows, as an apostle, was incredibly gifted in forging, a talent that was not proficiency or craftsmanship stability, but more like a kind of flowing electricity that could burst forth with new creations at any time.
Hammer Endless did not understand.
Why would an apostle of exalted status want to come and do the hard work of craftsmanship?
He was straight-tempered and asked Phileus very frankly.
The lord with the hideous white bone face said, “This is my old trade, the traditional craft cannot be lost.”
“You may not believe me when I say this. When I would become an apostle, it was also because I was an okay craftsman, it’s just that unlike you guys, I’m good at using materials like skeletons.”
Fellows, who was known as the King of White Bones, had a ghastly white bone body, but it had a notoriously gentle personality.
However, when it comes to designing and manufacturing props or equipment, Fellus can be extremely aggressive and often has unexpected and whimsical ideas. It is passionate about creating tools, and its personality can become irascible.
If a co-operating dwarf drags his feet a little, he is bound to be scolded by Fellows.
Hammer Endless once couldn’t help but confront Fellows in public.
The reason was that Fellows thought that the prosthetic limb could be expanded into a full torso prosthetic body, so that the whole body prosthetic limb could be replaced, which would be of great convenience and relevance.
Hammer Endless bluntly said that it was impossible.
Because prosthetics require flesh and bones to drive them, if all of them were prosthetics, then the inside would be completely empty, nothing more than dead matter.
Fellows was refuted to the point that its teeth were about to be clenched, its body clacked, and finally it left angrily.
Afterwards the dwarves all came over to comfort Hammer Endless, everyone came over to say goodbye with a sad face, thinking that he was dead, and had already begun to take care of his aftermath.
Some dwarves even suggested that Hammer Endless pack up and run away that night, fleeing all the way to the dragon’s nest in the north to join the dragon king, there may still be a ray of hope.
No matter how amiable the White Bone King is, an apostle is an apostle, and that is the closest attendant to the gods, an existence above all other beings, and cannot be offended.
It was only at this time that Hammer Endless was afraid, his mind was filled with regret, great regret.
This was how craftsmen were, they couldn’t hold back when it came to professional aspects.
That night, Fellows found Hammer Endless.
The three dwarves of [Blast Furnace Wizards] desperately tried to persuade from the side.
“Lord Fellows, Hammer Endless didn’t mean to offend you, he’s just a Dwarf who doesn’t know anything but ironworking, what bad intentions could he have? You chastise him, destroy his mouth and throat, we’ll help you poison him so he can’t spout any more nonsense, he’ll definitely remember this lesson.”
“Please be lenient, all the Furnace Clan knows that Hammer Endless is the purest Dwarf, he only knows smelting and forging, other than that he’s a fool. You mustn’t get on the wrong side of a fool.”
“You calm down, this is the latest brewed honey wine, you drink it, it’s delicious.”
The King of White Bones cranium twisted: “You get out of the way! Hammer Endless comes with me.”
“Please.”
“Please, please raise your hand …….”
The dwarves all ran out to beg for mercy.
“Shut up all of you!”
Fellows said angrily, “Come with me, don’t talk rubbish!”
He grabbed Hammer Endless and headed all the way out.
Hammer Endless waved goodbye to everyone with a sad face, only to turn around and realise that he had been grabbed into a compartment in the fortress.
Phyllus pointed to a piece of armour inside, “I thought you said it was impossible? I’ve already built it.”
Hammer Endless was shocked in his heart.
The curiosity and professionalism of an artisan suppressed fear at this moment.
He carefully examined the brass full body armour and couldn’t help but shake his head, “This isn’t a prosthetic body, it’s just an empty shell that needs to be manipulated. There is an essential difference between these two existences.”
Fellows also admitted readily, “That’s good, my current ability is only enough to make an empty shell, later I will try to make a heart, blood, muscles, and even a head. You come along and do the same.”
Hammer Endless froze.
The two immediately explored all the details of perfecting this armour.
This was the prototype of the [Ghost Armour] that would later become world-famous.
Their discussions and modifications continued for several days and nights.
It was only then that Hammer Endless came back to his senses, “…… That, Lord Apostle, how are you going to chastise me?”
“Chastisement? You mean the previous quarrel?”
Fellows’ white skull let out an eerie laugh, “Without discussion and collision, it’s hard to come up with good ideas.”
“It was irritating at the time, but I couldn’t find a rebuttal.”
“To build something you have to be realistic and speak with facts, you’re right.”
Since then, Hammer Endless had also tempered itself, never contradicting Fellows in a public setting. However, when in private, quarrels between the two became a common occurrence.
On the other hand, a large number of fine prosthetics, special equipment, and various tools were born from these quarrels.
The birth of the [Fire Vapour Furnace] eclipsed all the finished products that had been born in the fortress in the past.
The first time Hammer Endless saw the powerful steam emitted from the Fire Vapour Furnace and the handle and hammer head it drove, the first thought in his head was fear.
He had forged sharp swords that could cut through iron and break armour, and he had also built a number of marvellous utility props. The ample supply of all-powerful stones from Uda City had increased the fortress’s output as well, and many fine pieces of equipment had travelled from here to the rest of the world.
But none of those could compare to this seemingly humble Jet Copper Furnace.
It was the heart of a monster that had never been seen before.
The Fire Vapour Furnace would drive all sorts of devices, it could make water flow back and forth, it could make the flames turn into the breath of a giant beast, and it could make the steam become a big unseen hand that would propel all sorts of tools into continuous operation.
Following the empty shell.
The heart was also created.
Hammer Endless suppressed his inner excitement, looking at the copper furnace that spewed out a large amount of white gas, as if he saw an incredible world: a giant beast as if it were a dwarven fortress, striding forward propelled by the gushing heart of the copper furnace ……
Next to him, Fellows suddenly knelt on the ground and whispered something.
Hammer Endless knew that it must be the Lord God who had sent down his grace.
He believed that the omniscient Yao God must know better than himself what the Fire Vapour Furnace would bring to the entire world.
……
Lu Yao stared at the follow-up of the Fire Vapour Furnace the entire time.
Just as he had predicted, the birth of this device quickly attracted great attention from craftsmen and scholars, and one Fire Vapour Furnace after another was sent into the Twin Cities.
The Fire Vapour Furnace turned into an indispensable helper for seminaries, medical schools and engineering colleges. A single furnace could serve as dozens of hands, and only needed to be fitted with shafts and other parts so that they could run continuously and steadily.
This creative invention took the stage and quickly caused a chain reaction that led to ice-breaking in many fields.
Yao Cheng learnt to print and dye with fire and steam.
[Yao Cheng’s printed and dyed clothing set off a cultural boom that continues to attract merchants and buyers from all over the world.]]
Yao Cheng invented the fire-vapour furnace textile machine.
Yao Cheng’s textile technology was greatly developed, and textile production increased dramatically.
[Yao Cheng invented the printing press.]
[Yao City’s book production has increased dramatically, the knowledge of the city’s residents has increased slightly, and the city’s reputation has increased.]]
……
[Salt City invented the land boat road.]]
[The emergence of the land boat road allowed Yancheng’s land transport efficiency to increase dramatically.]]
[Yancheng invented the steamboat.]
[The appearance of steamboats allowed Yancheng’s maritime trade cycle to shrink slightly.]
[Yancheng invented the Great Bath.]
[Law and order in Salt City slightly increased, city income slightly increased, and city reputation increased.]]
[Discovery of the prototype of available wonders: the Great Bath.]]
……
Lu Yao was a bit dazzled by one prompt after another.
[A common voice echoes through the city, and people believe that they have touched a brand new era by your grace.]]
–You have named it the ___ Era.
Lu Yao typed two words.
Subtitles slowly floated on the screen.
[The humming of the fire steam furnaces went on and on, the searing steam turned the city smoky, and the darling of the new era had already let out its first cry.]]
[From the clumsy fighting spade armour to the dangerous clay ghouls, from the all-silent Cloud Temple to the post-war sores of the Phantom Ghost Realm, no one is unaware of your fame.]
[The proud Transcendents once pushed an entire civilisation forward in the fields of construction, mining, magic medicine, and farming, and they created monumental epics, leaving behind a multitude of legends and lore. But now, they must embrace new cultures and ideas in order not to be eliminated in the coming era.]]
[The Yao Clan has entered the Fire Vapour Age.]
