Broad World

"Long live! My dear, I know that you will not let us down. I'm going to prepare my room well now. I didn't go to Silvermoon City last time, so I must take a good look in Waterdeep City this time." After saying that, Shi Kodi excitedly ran up to the second floor. It seemed that she was going to take her small treasury to go shopping.

The butler stepped forward quickly and bowed. "Thank you very much for your generosity. Please rest assured that I will definitely arrange the work in the mansion before I leave, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Henry helped up the loyal old man. "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just arrange the cleaning work at home. I will live in the Mage Tower during this time, and I will basically not come back to eat." After speaking, he turned his head and said to his mother: "Mom, you should go and have fun together. It will be boring to stay in one place." Lily nodded with a smile. As an ordinary person, she also has a desire for flying.

Two days later, a group of people boarded the airship in the open space in front of the mage tower. Debra took a few apprentices to learn how to manipulate, and they will take turns stationing on it in the future. Henry watched the door of the hanger close tightly, and then ordered the golem to untie the cable. The airship began to inflate to control the altitude, and it didn't stop until it reached the clouds and flew towards the northeast.

Henry watched it go out of sight, and went back to the warehouse to take out all the triodes. With the current amount of memory, it is enough to make a transistor computer. Under his command, Louis and hundreds of pixies began to get busy. The triodes are connected together according to the requirements, and each time a part is completed, they are sealed in an iron box wrapped in rubber and put away.

The whole process was very slow, and it took them three days to complete the assembly work. Henry asked the gray dwarves to move these iron boxes to the top of the Mage Tower, and then began to connect the connectors behind the boxes with wires one by one. With his tireless hard work, he finally connected all the wires in the afternoon of the second day.

Looking at these super-large transistor computers on the shelves, a smile appeared on Henry's tired face. Although it is much worse than the worst computer in the 21st century on earth, it is enough as a device for assisting calculations. With this, it can be used to simulate the spell structure, reduce unnecessary spells and gestures, thereby increasing the power of the spell and speeding up the casting speed. And it can also be used to develop new magic.

He took a few steps back and said to Tarling: "Cortana, turn on the power now. From now on, this big guy will be handed over to you to control. Here is the circuit diagram. Pay more attention to repair and maintenance."

"Understood, the power supply of the element pool is stable, and it will be connected in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight, seven... three, two, one."

As the countdown ended with the last sound, the entire computer was instantly powered on. Henry stood by and observed for more than ten minutes, and found no problems, so he handed over all the spell structures below ** to Cortana. She is responsible for flipping the switches one by one to input, and she is only responsible for waiting for the calculation results.

In the following days, apart from receiving the calculation results occasionally, Henry spent most of his time practicing against the Terminator. This adventure made him discover many of his shortcomings, so he wanted to find a solution through actual combat.

The Terminator, whose body is covered with heavy armor, ignores most attacks. He didn't need to use a weapon at all, and he beat his opponent back steadily with his fists glowing with metallic luster. This former legendary warrior still maintained superb fighting skills, and Henry could barely resist with the staff in his hand. If it weren't for the natural power on the magic cane, it might have been broken into two sections.

Seeing that the disadvantage was irreversible, he uttered a syllable, made a movement with his fingers forward, and instantly a few colored balls hit his opponent. The Terminator immediately turned sideways, but was still hit by the purple sphere. His movements immediately began to slow down, and Henry took the opportunity to quickly back away to create a safe distance.

"Stop it, today's training is over." He gave an order while panting heavily. The first-level spell "Colorful Ball" just now has been deleted by the computer, and now it only needs one syllable and one casting action to release it. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of use, but also often plays an unexpected role in this kind of close combat.

"Obey, master." The Terminator slowly retracted his attack posture, and the deceleration effect would last at least ten seconds before disappearing.

Henry simply took a shower and returned to the top floor of the Mage Tower, and the computer was still calculating day and night. There is a stack of parchment on the table next to it, and all the optimized spells are recorded on it. "Cortana, how long will it take for first-level spells and divine spells to be fully optimized?"

"It will take at least two weeks. The second airship will be assembled in three days. You haven't equipped it with a power system yet."

"Damn it! I actually forgot about it." Henry patted his head and cursed. "Well, I'll give you the blueprint and let the multifunctional golem take care of the assembly." He took out the blueprint of the electric motor.

A blue light suddenly appeared and scanned it, and then Ta Ling's voice sounded again: "The blueprint has been stored, and I have sent the golem to the warehouse to pick up the required materials."

"I'll leave this matter to you. I promised my mother and wife to go back to eat today. They seem to say that there is something important to announce today." Henry held all the parchments in his hand, and walked downstairs while flipping through them.

Walking out of the mage tower, Henry saw the gray dwarves who were busy. Under the deep pit, a skeleton of an airship that is even bigger than last time is about to be completed. He waved at Tenoben, and the leader of the gray dwarves immediately trotted over when he saw it.

"The greatest master, if you have any requirements, please ask."

Henry smiled and patted the sycophant on the shoulder. "How about it, is there enough skeleton and rubber in stock?"

"Master, it's definitely not a problem to finish one ship. However, the rubber for the third ship may be in short supply." Tenoben reported with his head down.

Henry nodded after listening. "I've already told Hawke about this issue. He has hired many villagers to collect it, and I believe it won't take long. If there is nothing else, I will go back first. You must supervise the quality of the project." After speaking, he blessed himself with the "flying technique" and flew in the direction of the Lord's Mansion.

On the way home Henry saw the airship flying back from the west. After the successful voyage, this huge aircraft immediately caused a sensation in Waterdeep City. The lord council immediately requested the establishment of a fixed air route between the two cities. Mayor Hawke pretended to be very embarrassed, and finally agreed after the council reduced and exempted a large amount of trade tax.

Now this airship named the Earl makes a round trip to Waterdeep City every eight days. This comfortable and safe means of transportation soon gained the favor of the upper class. Even the expensive fares and shipping fees did not deter these people, and countless nobles and businessmen came to board every time they set sail. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods and personnel, Hawke also built a place for takeoff and landing on the open space not far from the pier.

As soon as he entered the house, Henry realized that something was wrong, because there were too many people in the living room. This is simply more people than the last airship test flight, and even the important officials under him are all here. As soon as these people saw him, they immediately bowed and saluted, and then sent a lot of words of blessing with excitement on their faces.

Just when Henry was a little confused, Shi Kodi suddenly came over with a smile and patted him. "Honey, do you feel a little confused?"

"That's right, you seem to have invited all the famous people in the territory, what the hell are you doing?" Henry pinched his wife's nose and asked.

Shikodi blinked her eyes mischievously. "Anyway, it's a big happy event. I guarantee you'll jump for joy when you hear it. I'll announce it to everyone at the dinner party later. As for now... keep it secret for now." After she finished speaking, she ran upstairs in a hurry. Looking at his wife's back, Henry shrugged helplessly. He couldn't think of anything that would make him jump up happily.

A half-orc warrior not far away came over with a big smile. He gave Henry a big hug and said loudly, "Congratulations! This is a major event in my life. I can't wait to see it... woohoo." Zuwosa who stood aside immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't pay attention to Vaughn's words, you know he likes to talk nonsense." After speaking, the ranger gave the half-orc warrior a hard look.

"You're right, I'm just talking nonsense. Head, don't think too much, you'll know the news soon." Vaughn smiled awkwardly, turned around and ran away.

Henry frowned and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell are these guys doing? Do they all know something and hide it from me now?" He scanned the expressions of everyone in the hall and found that most of them had smiles on their faces, even the old housekeeper who always had a serious expression.

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Henry put these messy things behind him, found a chair, sat down and began to interpret the optimized spell. Immersed in the magical world, he didn't notice at all that the mother upstairs was gently rubbing Shikodi's lower abdomen, and then kept asking about something. The two bishops standing beside him also answered some questions with smiles on their faces. (To be continued.)
