The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 59 Give Hope a Chance

Feng Yu paused for a moment and continued, "Also, mathematics is not something without combat effectiveness. Mathematics is the king of science and the foundation of the world.

Why don't you give it a try? I have nothing to do anyway. The camp will not retreat now, and I can't abduct the elf warriors. As for what other elves will think, I don't think it matters.

Let's not talk about the future of the elves, let's just talk about the present. The camp can provide high-quality and cheap salt, porcelain, and average-quality but equally cheap paper. I even made artificial crystals and will start making weapons soon.

As long as you nod and give me a chance, at least I can change the status quo, right? It's better than just staying here and waiting to run away!"

Feng Yu understood Anthony. As a great sage of the elves, the military leader of the elves after the death of the Sage of Magic, and the manager of Cattail City, the gateway to the human world, his pressure increased exponentially after his magic foundation was damaged.

He didn't believe that the elves' high-level officials and Anthony were unaware of the elves' current situation and future. Perhaps they were now afraid to see hope, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It would be cruel and difficult for a race to survive and then awaken their fighting spirit.

As for the fighting spirit of the elves, Feng Yu believed that the elves had left it in the Elf Forest.

"I...let me think about it again!"

"Don't think about it. Let's just make it like this. Tomorrow, help me find some people who can become warriors but haven't received formal training. Such elves are more convenient to learn new tactics. The first batch must be at least 20 people. Let me train them first, and we can deal with the rest later.

If you really want to think of something, think about Nicole. She has lost half of her life in the Elf Forest. And those elf children and the halflings who follow the elves. Will they have to go into the old forest and climb snow-capped mountains in the future?

Give it a try, give regret a chance, and also give hope a chance. "

After Feng Yu finished speaking, he walked away leisurely, leaving Anthony there with his head down in deep thought.

Feng Yu was a complete beginner in making chicken soup, but fortunately he had read countless chicken soup articles before, so he could say something like this today. He estimated that if a success lecturer came here, he would probably deal with Anthony on the spot.

Clarence, who was watching from a distance, saw Feng Yu coming out and came over to greet him: "How was your talk?"

"Not bad, you have to help me get the alloy cutting tools I need quickly, I'm waiting to use them!"

"Don't worry, it will be done soon."

"Then please."

After solving the problem of the cutter head, Feng Yu went to find Dick to build a machine tool. The so-called machine tool is not the advanced CNC machine on Earth, but a simple device that can make the cutter head or material rotate.

The tool used by the blacksmith's workshop to drill holes in heavy armor can also be considered a machine tool, but the way that machine tool works is too narrow and Feng Yu cannot use it. That thing can only drill holes in iron plates of a certain thickness.

What Feng Yu needs to do is to use the principle of machine tool rotation to process a batch of standard steel parts and assemble a machine tool that rotates faster and more stably. Only in this way can he process parts with smaller tolerances for the production of weapons or other things.

The first thing Feng Yu wanted to develop was the steam engine.

The earliest steam engine on earth appeared in 1679. By 1698, steam engines could be used as power sources in industry. By 1807, steam engines had begun to drive ships.

It can be seen from these years that what was important in the early steam engines was creativity rather than processing difficulty. At that time, the West did not know how to use rubber and did not have good sealing devices. They developed a steam engine that could provide power solely relying on soft metals such as copper and simple machine tools.

Feng Yu didn't want any high-end goods. As long as he could provide stable steam power to drive machine tools and drill gun barrels, he would have the confidence to protect his own industry.

Feng Yu did not go to see Anthony for the next two days, and the old man did not give Feng Yu a definite answer. After spending some time together, he had a certain understanding of Anthony. This was an old man with a gentle temperament and was not decisive in handling things.

And because of his reputation as a great magician, he was a little timid and couldn't keep up with Feng Yu's bold and aggressive moves, so he gave Anthony more time. However, when Feng Yu's steam engine came out, no matter how hesitant Anthony was, he had to make a choice.

If the elves really couldn't get the matter settled, he would use the steam engine to drive the water pump and irrigate the wilderness into fertile fields, and let Alan pull the miserable halfling over. Although the halfling was a little frustrated, he could still pull the trigger and was more obedient than the elves.

Moreover, the halflings have another advantage, that is, because they have been with the elves for a long time, they have no royal family anymore and all exist in the form of clans, which makes it easier for Feng Yu to win them over one by one.

Allen didn't like the Longyue Forest, which was not suitable for large-scale farming. Moreover, the Longyue Forest was full of wild beasts, which was not friendly to the short halflings. If Feng Yu wanted to win over the halflings, Allen, who now admired Feng Yu, would be the best lobbyist.

Without Butcher Zhang, Feng Yu didn't plan to eat hairy meat. But he really didn't want Old Man Anthony to go that far, because then Nicole would be in a dilemma, which was what Feng Yu didn't want to see the most.

He was busy tinkering with the machine tool in the blacksmith's workshop when Dick came over. It turned out that the team had returned to the Dwarf Kingdom, but they were in trouble.

In the past, the amount of metal needed by the camp was not large, and the dwarves could transport it across the Lengshui River on rafts. But this time Feng Yu made a big fuss. It was heard that he could exchange copper and iron ingots for high-quality salt, so many dwarf settlements wanted to exchange their stockpiled metals with Feng Yu.

Among them, the price offered by Feng Yu played a huge role. Compared with the goblins who only wanted finished products but were picky and unscrupulous in bargaining, there were not many buyers like Feng Yu who only wanted rough materials and offered a high price for the dwarves living in the Snow-Top Mountains. It can even be said that he was the only one.

Although the dwarves can contact the gnomes through the Snow Summit Mountains and have certain trade, the journey north along the west side of the Snow Summit Mountains and then west into the Meteorite Mountains is extremely dangerous. It is no match for the Cattail City Camp in the lower reaches of the Lengshui River on the north bank of the Snow Summit Mountains.

As long as you build a raft, no matter where you live in the Snowy Mountains, you can go down the river and follow the river to reach Cattail City. It is really convenient.

There were three representatives of dwarf clans returning with the trading team this time. Due to the limited carrying capacity of the raft, they only brought a small amount of copper and iron ingots. This was also to test the waters first. After all, the dwarves they were trading with were not of the same clan. Who would dare to say that a pie in the sky is a good thing if they don't try it? !
