Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 192



[Chapter 192 I Think Therefore I Am]

If Tony is willing to build a weapons production line in Winter Town, David won’t even have to worry about the future military equipment of Winter Town.

But he knows that Tony can’t build a weapons factory in a strange world from the beginning, which can be seen from the fact that he only plans to build a laboratory.

As for the future? That depends on how the relationship between Tony and Winter Town and David will develop.

Walking down from the roof of Castle Glamorgan, Tony is ready to take a closer look at this beautiful town. Standing on

the roof, he can clearly and directly understand the surrounding environment: there are mountains, water, and forests, the air is fresh and the temperature is moderate. It is really a good holiday resort.

In addition to the laboratory, Tony is also considering building a holiday home of his own.

The only drawback is that he can’t travel freely between the two worlds, and he must ask Steve to help lead the way.

“What I want to say is, is there no way for me to travel freely like Steve?”

Because he and David have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, the two are now partners, and Tony speaks a little more casually.

“Not yet.” David didn’t dwell on it too much: “Maybe in the future?”

“Oh? Is there any triggering condition?”

“Maybe it has something to do with the development of my town.”

David didn’t hide it. The partners in the town were more or less aware of this kind of thing, so there was no point in hiding it.

As for Tony, who was here for the first time, looking at David in front of him, he was not sure whether the other party was serious or joking? For a moment, he didn’t know how to reply to this sentence.

What to say? Say that he would do his best to help David develop Winter Town? It seems that their relationship is not good enough.

Wish David’s Winter Town a smooth future development? It seems that it has nothing to do with him. At this time when he just reached a cooperation agreement and was preparing to build a laboratory, this is a bit inappropriate.

So Tony could only respond with an awkward smile, shook hands with David, and patted the two people’s shaking hands with his other hand.

It doesn’t matter how the other party interprets it! It can be regarded as a blessing, as encouragement, or even as a cheer for the two of them!

Anyway, look forward to the future!

Leading Tony and Steve down from the roof, the few people walked out of Castle Glamorgan and headed straight north.

Tony was not going to visit the farmland and residential areas over there today. Even if he wanted to build his own holiday estate, he would not choose a residential area where most people live together, but would choose a place he liked.

When he was on the roof of Castle Glamorgan, he thought the north side was good. It was much more spacious than the south. In addition, the Ark reactor would also be built here, and his laboratory would definitely be built here. He began to consider whether to build a manor in the forest.

“What are those animals?” As he walked north along the wide road, Tony noticed that there were many strange and cute creatures moving around in the large open space in the west. These small animals looked a little familiar.

“That’s Eevee.” David looked and saw two Eevee fighting, while there were several Squirtles basking in the sun by the river farther away: “The one in the distance is Squirtle.”

“It sounds familiar.”

“This is a magical creature called Pokémon, which has some special abilities.”

“Oh!” Tony suddenly remembered why this thing looked familiar. It seemed that there were Pokémon in his world?

He looked at Steve uncertainly, and Steve nodded at him: “The first Squirtle came to Winter Town, and these Pokémon were all found by that Squirtle.”

After Tony confirmed his guess, he felt that this place was even more magical!

Walking into the forest, the road to the north of Winter Town has been built into the forest. If you go deeper, one of the wide roads will lead to the water plant and power plant, and the other will lead to the mine. The

simple railway built by the miners to transport ore has been dismantled, and the rails have not been wasted. They have all been recycled into steel beams by the mixer and become part of the infrastructure of Winter Town.

“What a peaceful and beautiful place.”

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Tony wanted to build a holiday home here. At the same time, he also hoped to build the Ark reactor as soon as possible so that Winter Town could use enough clean energy.

He was really worried that the excessive use of fossil energy would destroy the beautiful natural scenery here.

“Currently, what energy does Winter Town use to generate electricity? Thermal power? Hydropower? Solar power? If it uses coal or something like that to generate electricity, I suggest you make some modifications to the power plant first. I will send some small reactors to ensure the basic needs of Winter Town.”

“Are you afraid that the thermal power plant will damage the environment?”

“Yes, it’s so beautiful here?”

“Don’t worry, we are currently using a special energy called crystal ore, which is clean and pollution-free… It’s just that the output is too low, so I asked Steve to find you to build a reactor for Winter Town.” There is nothing to hide about crystal ore, and he believes that Tony has seen crystal ore a long time ago. Steve’s hammer of redemption is made of crystal ore as the main material.

“Crystal ore? You mean the material used for the hammer that Steve uses? Is this thing a kind of energy?” Tony then realized that the purple crystal weapon that Steve often held in his hand was actually a new energy source that he had never known about. He always thought that the energy contained in the hammer came from the holy light instilled by Steve.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this?”

“You didn’t ask.”

Tony, who was almost heartbroken by Steve’s words, secretly took note of this “grudge”. However, this also reminded him that Steve seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets. He must dig out all the secrets of this guy when he returns!

Continuing to walk forward, he soon saw the water plant and the power plant.

The two factories did not occupy a particularly large area, but considering the scale of Winter Town, they were already very large factories.

Tony Stark did not go in to visit, but just took a rough look at the situation, and had a general judgment of the situation of the factory in his heart.

At this time, he thought of another question: “How is the wastewater and garbage in Winter Town handled?”

“There is a special garbage and wastewater treatment plant located in the northeast of the town.” David looked around: “If you stand here, it is slightly south of our east.”

“Why is the wastewater treatment plant there?” In order to facilitate the discharge of sewage, the factory will be built next to the river. What is the layout of Winter Town? It is actually placed inland far away from the river?

“It is a special device made by alchemy to treat various wastewater and garbage.”

According to David’s idea, it would be perfect if alchemy could be used to directly decompose various non-recyclable and non-degradable garbage into atoms. If not, it would be fine to convert it into harmless substances such as soil and stone.

As for sewage, it is not difficult to deal with it in a world with mysterious power. It can even be directly cleaned and purified into clean water.

Hearing that mysterious power is used to deal with garbage to ensure that it will not pollute the environment, Tony suddenly felt that if these garbage and sewage treatment technologies can be realized and brought back to Earth through technology, his Stark Industries Group can open up new business.

Clean energy, garbage, and sewage treatment were all the most popular environmental protection projects in his era, and they were indeed difficult problems that many countries on Earth were eager to solve.

As long as the Stark Group came up with relevant technologies, even if they were just immature technological prototypes, they could stimulate the stock market and make the stock price rise.

Just as Tony began to think that maybe he should continue to deepen his cooperation with Winter Town, a beautiful young woman came in front of him.

It’s not uncommon to see beautiful young women, but this woman is accompanied by two very large silver giant wolves, which is very interesting.

A closer look revealed that there were several cubs following the two giant wolves.

“Huh? Why did you suddenly come to this forest?” Laura greeted David from a distance, and after getting closer, she also found Tony, a stranger: “Is this… new?”

“This is Tony Stark, invited by David to help Winter Town build a reactor.”

“Oh, welcome to Winter Town!” Laura recognized Tony Stark, of course. She asked this to determine whether this Tony was brought by Steve? Or from another universe different from Steve? “I’m Laura Crawford, just call me Laura.”

“Nice to meet you, Laura.” Tony looked at Steve next to him, his eyes full of questions.

Steve nodded to Tony, confirming that this was the Laura he guessed, and then quietly admired the strange expression on Tony’s face.

Seeing David and Laura chatting there, Tony immediately asked Steve in a low voice: “Are there any other people in this magical place that I am ‘familiar’ with?”

“I don’t know either, because I’m not sure who you are ‘familiar’ with.”

Although Tony didn’t get a clear answer, he also learned one thing from Steve: those so-called alien visitors in Winter Town are probably all familiar people.

He also thought of another thing, that he might also be a ‘familiar person’ in the eyes of others.

Seeing Tony’s strange expression, Steve immediately reminded him: “Don’t worry about such things. When you doubt, you exist!”

“I think, therefore I am. Descartes?” Tony is very knowledgeable. He just wondered why Steve would use Descartes’ theory to enlighten himself: “If I remember correctly, you studied fine arts.”

“I have been learning new knowledge during this period.” “

Is it because of this place?”

“It’s because of other reasons.” When talking about this, Steve’s face was full of bitterness. He felt that he had fallen into a huge pit. Although he has not taken over that position yet, he has begun to look for a successor.

The person in front of him is a good choice.
