Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1648 Thorin's Belonging

Zhuang Mengdie, who had been busy all night, felt physically and mentally exhausted. However, the research she conducted that night had given her a lot of new ideas. She decided to rest after her meeting.

As the meeting was announced, Zhuang Mengdie glanced at the fruit on the table, picked up one at random, and put it in her mouth without any hesitation.

She hadn't slept all night and had clearly not eaten for a long time.

As soon as Zhuang Mengdie spoke, everyone in the project team immediately moved to the conference room. Suolin, who had just reported to the department the day before, was wondering what to do when Zhuang Mengdie's gaze fell on him.

"Thorin?"

Although she has been extremely busy these past two days, she has put many things out of her mind.

But dwarves are still quite recognizable. Looking at Thorin, Zhuang Mengdie quickly remembered this, and without much thought, she directly said...

"Come to the conference room with me."

As Zhuang Mengdie spoke, she walked into the conference room.

"Everyone is here. Before the meeting begins, let me give a brief introduction."

As she spoke, Zhuang Mengdie looked at Suolin.

"Thorin Copperfurnace, you're joining our project team starting today. Everyone, please welcome him."

After she finished speaking, Zhuang Mengdie led the way, and a not-so-enthusiastic round of applause rang out in the conference room.

Apart from Xiao Wang, the other members of their project team were not particularly enthusiastic and were not good at creating a lively atmosphere.

They had already received word of Thorin's arrival, so no one was surprised.

"Alright, let's begin the meeting."

After giving a very brief introduction in less than half a minute, and without needing Suolin, the person involved, to speak, Zhuang Mengdie went straight to the point.

He unfolded the design drawings of the Thunder Rotary Cannon and quickly talked about his research results from last night, as well as some new research and development ideas.

The two researchers below were still frowning, trying to understand, while Thorin, standing at the back, had already brightened up.

He was certainly no stranger to the design blueprints for the Thunder Revolver.

In fact, he was the one who made the main decision-making work when it came to determining which design drawings to use in the transaction with Da Zhou.

At that time, King Baron's request was to find something that they were completely unable to develop at this stage to trade with the Great Zhou. Thorin's answer was steam-powered armor.

Of course, they also knew that this approach was somewhat dishonest and lacked sincerity.

So, just in case, they prepared another design blueprint that was difficult to develop, but not impossible to develop: the Thunder Rotary Cannon.

Before sending out the design drawings, Thorin had studied the design drawings of the Thunder Revolver from beginning to end.

Limited by its technological capabilities, the previous Bronzeforest lacked the ability to develop the Thunder Wheel Cannon, but the Great Zhou was different; the Great Zhou had sufficient technological capabilities.

However, with this design blueprint in hand, the members of the Da Zhou Ordnance R&D Department will face the challenges of design concepts and equipment systems.

The weapons and equipment of dwarves are very different from those of ordinary human civilizations in terms of their equipment systems and design concepts. At the same time, the knowledge they have learned and the technologies they have mastered are also different.

This often leads to some perplexing problems for human researchers when they look at their design drawings.

However, precisely because they are not bound by the original framework, they are sometimes able to open up new avenues of thought, as was the case with Zhuang Mengdie at this moment.

"Alright, do you guys have any ideas?" Zhuang Mengdie asked habitually. She knew her two subordinates wouldn't have any ideas right away. She planned to go back to the dormitory to catch up on some sleep. After they came back, they would probably have thought it through, and then they could discuss it again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Thorin, who had been silent and even somewhat withdrawn, suddenly spoke up.

"I have an idea!"

Thorin is usually a very solitary person, and you could even call him autistic, but once he starts talking about his area of ​​expertise, his output can instantly reach its maximum.

At this moment, his eyes were shining!
Sorin quickly expressed his thoughts and explained his research and development approach.

Inside the meeting room, the two researchers were completely confused, but Zhuang Mengdie quickly got into the flow.

With the addition of Thorin's new ideas, Zhuang Mengdie's drowsiness instantly dissipated, and she immediately began an in-depth discussion with Thorin.

The previous project teams, frankly speaking, all followed her ideas.

After all, looking at the entire Ordnance Research Department, it's no exaggeration to say that she is the most capable one.

With her leading the project and putting in the effort, it became difficult for other team members to offer her any constructive suggestions or new research ideas.

But Thorin is different; he's a five-star level ordnance development master! His professional skills even surpass those of Zhuang Mengdie.

Previously in Copperforge, it was entirely due to Copperforge's lack of technical expertise, not his lack of ability; it was a case of a skilled cook being unable to make a meal without ingredients.

Now that they have submitted to the Great Zhou, their Great Zhou's hardware is far superior to that of Bronzeforest, and Thorin finally has the opportunity to show his talents!

Zhuang Mengdie and Suolin's discussion took place entirely without their knowledge or privacy.

However, the two researchers in the conference room were completely unable to keep up with the two's train of thought, not to mention Xiao Wang, who was still in the miscellaneous work stage.

In the end, they could only look at each other with bitter smiles, silently admiring Thorin, who was new to the area.

In the next two weeks, the development of the Thunder Rotary Cannon progressed even faster than it had in the previous two or three months.

This also allowed Thorin to fully adapt to life in the Ordnance Research Department.

After the initial tension, he found that this place was perfect for him; he didn't need to worry about anything except research and development.

Furthermore, there are people who can keep up with his research and development ideas, engage in various discussions with him, and even offer constructive suggestions that open up new avenues of thought for him.

It's like an autistic person suddenly finding someone who shares common interests with them; for Thorin, this feeling was wonderful.

During this period, he also achieved the feat of staying up all night in the research institute. In fact, he often stayed up all night in the research institute, and his monthly performance even surpassed that of Zhuang Mengdie, who was the department head.

There's no way around it; as dwarves created by God, their physical abilities are far superior to those of humans.

Even with the blessing of Zhou Xu, the 'Evolutionary Leader,' the people of the Great Zhou, even those who received the highest level of blessing, only had physical qualities equivalent to half of a superhuman being.

In a real battle, neither physical strength nor energy can outlast the dwarves.

As usual, Thorin spent the entire night in the research lab on the new day. Just as he was about to have breakfast and go back for a nap,

A giant eagle rider descended from the sky carrying Zhou Xu's orders.

"By imperial decree, Zhuang Mengdie, head of the Ordnance Research Department, and his subordinate Suolin are summoned to the palace for an audience!"
