Chapter 420: Steam tank

Seeing the confused look on the two men’s faces, he shrugged and didn’t explain. He smiled and ordered Lilian, “go to the smelter and ask the workers to bring me two thousand and five hundred pounds of iron. Also, I need a cart of coal.”

“Two thousand and five hundred pounds?” Pobo and Elsie were shocked by the number. “What weapons need so much iron?”

He shrugged and said, “heavy weapons! Don’t you feel that it’s very stressful for fifty thousand monsters to attack us? I’ll get you some heavy weapons so that you don’t have to be afraid of only fifty thousand monsters.”

“This… This is too much.” Elsie felt that he was under greater pressure than the fifty thousand monsters. “I can’t take such a big weapon.”

“Well, who wants you to hold it in your hand and wait quietly?”

After scolding Elsie for a while, he gave Lilian the blessing. After a while, Lilian went to the smelter. Then, many carriages came with iron pieces. Two thousand and five hundred pounds of iron was not light. It took the workers several carriages to bring them. The iron ingots were square in front of him.

It was normal for Elsie to see so many pieces of iron, but since Pobo had gone far to the north for business, he hadn’t seen the rapid development of Westwind Town with his own eyes. He was surprised to see that Westwind Town could take out so many pieces of iron now. He thought, [now Westwind Town has become a strange town.]

“Well, it’s time to start!” Robb shrugged and smiled.

He used the silver ore to make… Four pieces of silver ingots.

Then he took something from the air. “Dense sand” that Motra had helped him last time for flew out of the warehouse and landed in front of him. He used the “dense sand” to make the “Dense grinding wheel”.

Then he used the silver ingot and the dense grinding wheel to make… Two precise silver parts.

When two “precise silver parts” appeared on the table, Pobo and Elsie almost went crazy on the spot. Silver! It was extremely rare and precious metal. How could it be used to rub two small parts? What the hell was this? It looked like a gear, but not very like a gear. What the hell was it?

However, the two of them were not in a hurry to make a complaint, because they both knew of Robb’s ability. They would not doubt Robb. What they suspected was their insight.

Robb pointed at the pile of iron ingots again

He used “gold” to make… “Gold energy core”.

Then he used “iron ingot” to make… “Steel ingot”.

Used “Steel ingot” to make… “Steel shell”.

At last, he used “Steel shell”, “gold energy core” and “precise silver parts” to make

This time, it took a long time to make it. Only Robb’s hands were seen rubbing for twenty seconds. Then, the messy things he had just made were all mixed together and turned into a huge, weirdly shaped big car.

The car had a row of wheels. The outside of the wheels was not wrapped with Robb’s favorite rubber, but with a strange track. There was a round head on it, and a long barrel stretched out in front of the head.

Even though Pobo was experienced and knowledgeable, he had never seen such a weird thing.

Commander Elsie couldn’t help asking, “what’s this? A mini train?”

“No!” shrugged and said, “this thing is called the steam tank!”

It was also interesting. Robb had already made the “oil engine” and even an “oil train” by removing the parts of the mining robot WK0032. However, because he hadn’t gotten the steam engine, he hadn’t been able to make the steam tank. This time, he finally had the chance to make the steam engine with the help of silver.

It could be regarded as the retrogression of technology!

However, there was such a weird design in the game, which made him unconvinced.

Fortunately, people in this world did not know what the steam engine and the engine were, and did not know that he was playing with the concept of retrogression.

Robb stood up and opened a small door on the stomach of the steam tank. Then he asked the workers to put the coal into it and add water into the water tank. In this way, all the preparations would be finished.

Elsie and Pobo were already dumbfounded, but the two of them were not real fools. On the contrary, they were much smarter than most of the ordinary people in this era. They could already guess what the big iron car was, but they were not sure yet.

Robb opened the top cover of the tank and got in.

The steam tank had been played many times in the game before, but it was the first time for him to experience it in the real world. There were a lot of messy devices in the tank, which were basically incomprehensible, because the operations in the game only used the keyboard, and after this thing was really created, the controls changed.

It doesn’t matter. He’ll just press it randomly.

He fumbled around!

Fortunately, Robb was a modern man. Even if he didn’t know how to operate a machine, it wouldn’t be difficult to cover it up. After a while, there was a small whistle above the steam tank, and then the huge tank moved

Elsie said loudly, “The big iron car can run without an iron track. Oh, new God of light.”

“What? What is the new God of light? Why is there the word ‘new’ in front of it?”

It was not the right time to think about it. The huge tank had already started to move. It rushed out of Robb’s yard and knocked down a section of fence wall. It turned its head on the open space in front of the chapel gate and turned its head. The long barrel pointed at the hillside behind the church.

Then….

“Boom!”

It fired!

An explosion came out of the barrel of the tank and flew to the hillside in front of them. Then it exploded with a loud bang. Mud and dust flew all over the sky, and a huge pit was created on the hillside. The loud sound attracted a large group of villagers nearby to surround it, and everyone was pointing at this strange iron car.

However, everyone knew that it must be another work of Godfather.

With only one shot, Robb pushed open the top cover of the tank and came out. He waved at Elsie and said with a smile, “how about giving your troops two hundred such things? Do you have the confidence to deal with the fifty thousand monsters?”

Commander Elsie had already been shocked by the attack. He looked at the big hole in the hillside in the distance, and then turned around to look at the huge iron car. Suddenly, he was excited. “The perfect combination of attack and defense! That’s amazing! This thing is too powerful. If there are two hundred such things, the monster army will be nothing.”
