With the opening of the free trade zone where the sunset is booming, the first steam engine powered car that the goblins have successfully studied has been released, and it looks exactly the same as the classic car in Robben's memory. The first car undoubtedly became Robben's car. The steam car can reach a maximum speed of 60km/h, and can carry four people in the car. It can be used as a convertible or a cloth ceiling, becoming the most popular new concept item in the Yugoslavia. Except for the first luxury product given to Robben, the later batch production is simplified version, which is still popular among everyone.

Now, steam engines have also brought about industrial revolution in another world. Gradually, steam engines have replaced many things that originally needed to be made slowly in handicrafts. Now the most direct influence is the textile industry. In the past, the balloons of the first Kirov airship were all hand-sewned by women. Now, with the application of steam engines, the mechanized textile machine has been officially developed. The first mechanical textile bureau of the Yugoslavia was established in Thunder City. The production volume here is comparable to the textile volume of all women in the tribe in a month, greatly improving the efficiency of textiles. At the same time, due to the savings of labor costs, the price of fabrics has been greatly reduced. In the past, tribal people could not afford expensive fabrics and could only wear various leather coats. Now a large number of high-quality fabrics are cheap, which makes ordinary people afford to wear cloth woven clothes, allowing people to personally feel the benefits of mechanization.

Now there are cars again. Although they are steam-powered, Robben still calls them cars, which greatly improves the portability of people's travel. The first thing Robben thought of was to popularize buses to facilitate people's travel. For this reason, he specially drew drawings and asked the goblins to speed up the development and set up the Yugoslavia transportation company. In the early stage, he temporarily used small cars to operate, and later waited for the successful development of the bus to develop public transportation. He also added driving schools to hire goblins as teachers and train a large number of drivers and technicians.

Robben discovered that goblins had a natural keen intuition about machinery, which could help them study mechanical problems well. For this reason, Robben specifically consulted with the old goblins, so that the goblins would concentrate on studying various machinery from then on, and there was no need to study other weapons. As long as they were focused on doing the machinery, it would be considered a great achievement. The old goblins happily took the order and left.

Soon, the goblins who had accumulated strength had great enthusiasm for research. What cars, steamboats, agricultural tractors, large vehicles and even mechanized steelmaking equipment were studied by goblins one by one. Therefore, the steam engine was quickly integrated into the ordinary life of the Yugoslavia in just one winter. People quickly got used to the existence of mechanization, and even soon, the goblins successfully developed generators at the prompt of Robben. They learned about the energy of electricity for the first time. Unfortunately, because the strong acid production process in the Yugoslavia was still incomplete, the battery production was still a distance, but power generation was no longer a problem. For this reason, Robben specially made a simple luminous bulb in front of the goblins, and used tungsten with very low yield to make the filament. After powering on, the goblins generated brightness, which immediately excited the goblins.

The invention of the light bulb was soon welcomed by the people of Thunder City. The first one to be put into mass use was the goblins. They were obsessed with research. They often used oil lamps and candles to study for several days and nights. In the past, they could only use oil lamps and candles and other equipment. Under the premise that the light was not bright enough, it also had a serious smell. Now the light bulbs are bright enough and the production process is very simple. After connecting to the generator, it illuminated the goblin's laboratory instantly. Therefore, the goblin installed a large number of electric lights in his residence, and even installed the first batch of street lights in the Yugoslavia. Robben was stunned and thought that these goblins had traveled through time. Soon the reputation of the Goblin never sleeping city spread throughout the Yugoslavia. Thunder City and Haicheng began to install a large number of electric lights and build power stations, which brought a lot of income to the goblins, making old goblins unable to stop and sirens. Robben was very creative.

Soon, the latest warship in the seaside dock was finally completed after a long time of manufacturing. The warship was built into an aircraft carrier according to Robben's intention. This was a big leap. You know, before this warship, the Thunder Tribe only built two sail warships, one Victory and the other Raiders, both of which used sails as the source of power. Now it is directly built aircraft carriers. If it weren't for the bee fighter, it would be impossible. Unfortunately, Robben was a time traveler. He originally wanted to build an alien version of the aircraft carrier according to the Kirov airship model and boarded the bee fighter. As a result, the goblin took out a steam engine. For this reason, Robben did not hesitate to overturn the original design and completely created an iron-armored warship.

The carrier-based aircraft carried by the new ship is still a bee fighter, but it has been changed from the previous sail power to the final steam engine power. The new battleship Robben is named the Thunder, with a length of 300 meters and a waterline of 280 meters; the ship is 70 meters wide and a draft of 10 meters; the deck is 300 meters long and 70 meters wide; the hangar and the deck are divided into three layers, 160 meters long, 30 meters wide and 7 meters high; the displacement reaches an unprecedented 57,000 tons; the power consists of 4 high-power 4-axis steam turbines, with a sufficient 200,000 horsepower; the speed can reach an unprecedented 18 knots; the endurance can reach 15,000 kilometers/18 knots; the crew capacity is 2,100 people, and another 500 aviation and landing combat personnel can be equipped with 180 bee fighters. The Thunder has entered the sea trial stage, and the final results and later can be improved.

The changes brought about by the development of mechanization are constantly changing, but they also directly bring serious problems, that is, energy consumption is too fast. With the use of a large number of steam engines, the originally small mineral resources in the South China Federation obviously cannot keep up with the pace of social development. Not only strategic materials, steel ores, etc., but now even coal mines have become a shortage of goods. At one point, the price of coal mines exceeded that of grain, which gave Robben a headache, so he searched for mineral deposits and mineralization became the largest priority in the Confederacy. For this purpose, a meeting was specially recruited. Everyone had no good solutions, so they could only send additional personnel to find mineral deposits in the territory.

At this time, the high priest of the Sea God tribe, Popoya, who had never spoken, spoke. He slowly introduced that in the sea city, which was the former Sea God tribe, crossed two mountains to the east, there was a mountain range, and there was a different race from the barbarians, hill dwarves. The hill dwarves liked the most was mining, and the mountain range they lived in was a place with extremely rich minerals. It can be said that there were mines everywhere in the mountains. If they were dug in any place, they were coal mines at the most time. For this reason, the hill dwarves had always occupied the mountain range and dug a huge hill dwarves city on the mountain range. If they received their support, perhaps the difficulties in the Uttarakan now would be alleviated.

After hearing this, Robben immediately decided to go to the City of Hill Dwarfs to see if he could unite with them. So he then wanted to inquire about the dwarfs' hobbies from Popoa. Popoa thought about it carefully and said one, that is, each of these Hill Dwarfs is an alcoholic and loves to drink strong wine the most. Only the strong wine can impress them, and in addition, all Hill Dwarfs are perfect blacksmiths.

When Robben learned that the dwarf was addicted to alcohol, he suddenly had a good idea.
