Novel Full Chapter 754 - merry-go-round
Just as Count Cruz was thinking about what amazing idea Joshua had, the shadow of a war horse appeared in the illusion.
Could it be some kind of horse clothing? Or was it a mechanical horse?
As Count Cruz was thinking about the feasibility of equipping the war horse with a magical mechanical armor, what appeared in front of him was not some metal or steel creation. Instead, it was a little close to the texture of ceramics and plastics.
The colorful appearance of the creation also looked very different from the magical mechanical armor of the country of steel.
There were a bunch of statues of horses. The statues were painted with various patterns that were full of children’s interest. The bunch of statues suddenly revolved around a cylinder. The primary crystals were emitting colorful lights, the soundtrack that looked like a nursery rhyme filled the foreheads of all the master craftsmen present with black lines.
“Mr. Jose, may I ask… What is this magic-powered machine for?”
The youngest master artisan present raised his hand. He looked like he was only about thirty years old, and he was much more receptive to new things than the older generation of artisans present.
However, he really could not think of any use for this new magic-powered machine that Jose had shown in his illusion.
“Entertainment. First of all, I want to make it clear that all the magical machinery that I’m going to build next is for entertainment. As for this thing called the merry-go-round, its purpose is to please children between the ages of five to twelve. Each merry-go-round must be able to accommodate the weight of an adult and a child. The merry-go-round will move up and down slowly as it rotates. It also needs to carry its own music when it runs.”Josh paused for a moment and added another purpose. “And couples can also sit on it.”
After Joshua finished talking about the function of this magic-conducting machine, the group of master craftsmen below entered a state of silence.
“This is only the first magic-conducting machine. Is it very difficult?”Joshua asked.
“We can quickly produce these requirements of yours, but…”the young master craftsmen seemed to be holding back something and did not dare to say anything.
Empress Yekana was at the scene. Joshua was also a talent that Empress Yekana wanted to try her best to recruit.
“The reason why I’m sitting here is not to build toys for children to play with.”
A craftsman with a short temper did not care about Empress Yekana’s opinion. He directly pointed out their dissatisfaction.
“Mr. Joshua, Master Tishi used to work in our country’s military. I’m also an engineer of military magic machinery… In addition, a few of the people here are studying magic engines and airships.”
The young master craftsman explained in an embarrassed voice.
Queen Yekana had already entered high-level spectator mode at this time. She didn’t seem to have any intention of interfering with the decision of the master craftsman.
“I can build this magic-powered machine,”Count Cruz, who was the last to arrive, said at this time.
“Count Cruz from Orson Castle… I’ll give you some concept maps after the bidding is over.”
Jose used a pen to write down the name of Count Cruz on a piece of paper with various amusement facilities.
“Ahem, since you think this is too easy, let’s go straight to the next magic-powered machine.”
The carousel was accompanied by light purple inscriptions for hours on the stage. Hiri once again constructed a brand-new illusion.
This illusion was only two people tall and looked like a glowing disc.
“I call this magic-guided machine the Ferris wheel.”Jose came to the cabin of the Ferris wheel. “This is a cabin used to accommodate tourists. A cabin can seat up to six people, and then…”
Jose made a rotating gesture, and the ferris wheel began to rotate gradually.
“It doesn’t need to rotate too fast, but the difficulty is that if this thing is really built… its height may be more than 80 to 100 meters, and it may be higher than any other building in the world.”
Just by giving such a rough figure, all the craftsmen present at the scene immediately thought that this thing was really built… What a huge monster it was.
“What is the purpose of building this thing?”One of the craftsmen asked, “If you want to see the scenery, a watchtower is enough.”
“Well… it can let more than a hundred tourists see the scenery around it at one time, and anyone can build a watchtower, right?”
Joshua could feel that the Ferris wheel had aroused the interest of these craftsmen. The craftsmen who were summoned by Queen Yekana were basically the top masters of the country of steel.
“I wonder if you have heard of this saying.”Joshua cleared his throat and said, “People live for the spectacle.”
“Spectacle?”
Count Cruz heard a new word from Joshua’s mouth again.
“It is a building that can be remembered by all the people in the future, just like Nolan’s Crystal Palace. After a hundred years, two hundred years… The Crystal Palace will still stand in Nolan. The passing tourists will still sigh about the magnificence of this building and praise the skill of the builder. The name of the builder will be remembered by the people in the world.”
What Joshua said might be what the older generation of artisans of the country of steel pursued. In their lives, besides really wanting to develop a certain magic-conducting machine, they also wanted to be able to leave their names in history.
“Is this thing really… possible to be regarded as the wonder you mentioned, Mr. Joshua?”The young artisan asked.
“The prerequisite is that its quality can withstand the test. I guarantee that after it is built, there will be a large number of tourists fighting to climb on the ferris wheel every day… but this magic-conducting machine can only be considered relatively simple among my requirements.”
Jose knew nothing about construction and materials science. He could only judge the difficulty of building the Ferris wheel from the way it worked, which was the opinion of the so-called layman.
“We will give you a satisfactory answer, Mr. Jose.”
Count Cruz was ready to take over the construction of the Ferris wheel again, but this time, the young craftsman also raised his hand.
“It just so happens that there hasn’t been any research to take over in the past year.”He looked at Count Cruz with a wry smile. “It just so happens that I can go to Orson Castle to find some work.”
“The second task has been decided to continue to be taken over by Count Cruz. Next up is the most difficult magic-guided machine.”
The illusion of the Ferris wheel gradually disappeared, and in its place was the railway that gradually extended from the ground.
“Rail cars… hasn’t the plan to build this thing been scrapped?”When an artisan saw the railway, he could only think of the rail cars as a means of transportation.
The Dwarves of this world had mastered the technology of the railway a long time ago. They initially used it as a means of transporting minerals.
The artisans of the country of steel tried to use the railway to build a long-distance transportation tool, which was a rail car.
However, the existence of teleportation magic made long-distance transportation between countries more convenient than on Earth. In addition, there were all kinds of dangerous monsters living in the wild, which made it extremely difficult to lay the tracks, the rail car’s plan could only be shelved in the end.
