Struggle in the Steam Age

"How do you feel, Mr. August?" Just as Lawrence walked out of the opened transparent crystal egg, the gaseous puppet next to him heard the voice that claimed to be the designer before. "How do you feel during this virtual training? Especially compared to those ordinary regular training."

"It feels great. At least in regular training, I can hardly grasp many things that are close to actual combat." Lawrence said while moving his limbs that had become a little stiff due to reclining there for a long time. "Right, this How long did the virtual training take me, won’t it really be three months?”

"Of course not, the principle of this thing is similar to our dreams. Sometimes you spend a long time in your dreams and only a moment has passed in the outer world. It's as if you are practicing in that virtual space now. Three full months, but actually only three days have passed in the outer space."

"That's good, it didn't delay much." Lawrence said and began to change his clothes, and walked out of the virtual practice room after checking that there was nothing missing. These three days can be said to have made him take a big step forward in mastering the fighting skills related to transcendence, and it can be regarded as making up for a big shortcoming of himself.

When he finished handling the follow-up business and walked out of the Magic Association, Lawrence found that there were more people on the street, and they were wearing costumes. At the same time, everyone’s face was filled with smiles. On the park square across the bridge, a small band played some cheerful music there. Many citizens danced in the open space in front of the band.

"Is it a holiday today?" After walking across the bridge, Lawrence first bought a fried fish sandwich and a glass of orange juice with a lot of sugar from a small street selling snacks, and then ate and drank to the stall owner. Asked. As an extraordinary person, it is indeed able to support the body without eating or drinking for three days, but the discomfort of being hungry is also real.

The reason why he asked this was because he had not figured out what festival today was after searching in his mind just now, so he guessed that today might be a special local festival. After all, the Federation is so big, and there are customs everywhere. What he didn't know was really normal.

"No, of course not." Because the package that Lawrence bought is the most expensive set that the stall can provide, and no one else is here now, the hawker is also willing to talk to Lawrence. "I think your accent should be a foreigner, and it looks like someone from the western side against the mountain range."

"You guessed it right, my hometown is indeed closer to it." As a hawker near the famous scenic spots in Huguang City, he will naturally come into contact with all kinds of people, so it is normal to hear Lawrence's hometown from his accent.

"Look, I didn't guess wrong as expected." The peddler looked a little excited after verifying his guess from Lawrence, but he also knew that he should answer the question quickly at this time. "Today is not a festival here, but it is similar to a festival for us. Because the murlocs who attacked today have completely retreated, and this year's murloc attack is over."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Lawrence suddenly realized that when he entered the Wizards Association, he judged that the murloc attack had come to an end based on the intensity of the murloc attack, but he did not expect it to be completely over in just three days.

"Seriously, this kind of large-scale attack is much faster than when the small-scale murloc attacks in previous years ended." As a local resident, the hawker obviously has some experience in murloc attacks. "I heard from the newspaper that murlocs are more likely to launch frontal fish-sea tactics during a large-scale attack. Once defeated, they will retreat directly. Instead of spending a lot of time fighting murloc squads like a small-scale attack."

After continuing to chat with the vendor for a few words, new customers also came over. While the vendor was busy receiving the next customer, Lawrence quickly ate and drank the food and drinks in his hands and then returned to Kogg's house. Knocked on the door and the door opened. It's just that it wasn't the servant of Kogg's that opened the door but Syfiel.

"You're back, come in quickly!" He was very happy to find Lawrence Syfiel at the door, but at the same time he was a bit confused. "Is it just that little time for professional training at the Bronze Pinnacle level? Or is your training in stages, and you just came back from the first stage of training now?"

"Neither." Lawrence hung his hat and coat on the hanger beside the door and said, "I adopted a special, high-end training method of the Magic Association. It can compress the training of two months to three days. ."

"It's incredible to be able to compress two months to three days." After the two returned to the guest room, Lawrence talked about his three-day experience in the curious eyes of Syfiel, listening After finishing his narration, Syfiel was full of curiosity about this special training method, "I have never heard of such a thing before, and the casters can always come up with something beyond imagination."

"I have never heard of this before." Lawrence shrugged, "Because this is a magical instrument unique to the Huguang City Magic Association, there is no second one at all. I heard from the staff of the Magic Association, It has been less than a year since this prop was created, and no more than 50 people have used it."

"So you think you are brave when you use that thing?" Hearing these words, Syfiel raised his face and looked at Lawrence. "From your description, you can tell that this instrument is like a test product, some kind of crazy A guinea pig made by a magician. So I hope you will try to reduce unnecessary risks like this in the future."

"Well, I think what you said is right, and I will try my best to reduce the risk in this unnecessary situation in the future." Seeing the seriousness revealed in the blue eyes of Lake Seifer, Lawrence also solemnly nodded nod.

"In the past two days, I have basically sorted out the work in the Bofors factory." After discussing Lawrence's itinerary for the past few days, Syfiel talked about his work in the three days. "With your mortar as the main product, the factory is on the right track: the factory has obtained the necessary working capital by selling the patents of this artillery and has successfully expanded. I believe if nothing else The future development of this factory will be very good."

"Eugen used to be the factory machinery, the workers in the factory, or his background. The only reason why he got worse and worse was that his factory was not big enough and he didn't have the products that he could sell~www. ltnovel.com~Through a recent investigation, Syfiel also figured out the reason why the dwarf failed when he started a factory.

"After all, the profit of making those general-purpose ammunition or mechanical parts is not very high, and the only quality advantage does not have much meaning in such large-scale mass-produced industrial products. The most important point is that the scale of his factory leads to the cost The competition is inferior to those big factories, and the meager profits in turn prevented him from expanding his factories."

"So this time we broke this kind of infinite loop." After listening to Safir's words, Lawrence also figured out the problems at the Bofors factory. "By the way, are the weapons that he used to develop and sold to the extraordinary after the war is over, are you ready?"

"It has been successfully manufactured. By the way, Eugene asked me to bring you something. I almost forgot about it." Saifei patted his forehead lightly, then stood up and ran back. Own room. After a while, she walked out with a large leather suitcase in one hand.

"This is simply—" When the box was opened, one side of the box contained something similar to the individual grenade launcher Lawrence had seen in his previous life, and on the other side there were more than 20 palm-sized rounds of one-piece ammunition. I have to say that magic in this world is indeed very powerful, and can do many things that science cannot do for the time being.
