After finding the books detailing the Albion Dominion's inventions, Jian Zhi read them thoroughly throughout the entire night. The next day, he ordered a search for more caves like the original Dragon's Breath, directing teams to dig along the magma stream emanating from it. After a week of intense searching, they discovered six more active magma streams beneath the ground of the Giant Tree Forest.

  Faced with the complex blueprints for a steam engine and train, Jian Zhi muttered to himself, "How did they make this? There are so many parts." To manage this monumental task, he established a dedicated branch of blacksmiths solely responsible for fabricating the engine and train components. Concurrently, he had already ordered the construction of a railway system spanning the three districts, built alongside new roads made with Mythical Bond.

  Working in unison, Jian Zhi, the new Blacksmith Branch, and the Alchemic Branch developed a perfect metal alloy, enhanced with dragon scale crystals and steel spider silk. This led to the creation of their own revised procedure, dubbed The Celestial Forge Process, to build the Earth-Dragon (地龙 - Dì Lóng) train, powered by the Flame-Hoof (焰火 - Yǎnhuǒ) locomotive engine.

  The Celestial Forge Process: Constructing the Earth-Dragon Locomotive

  Part 1: Building the Steam Engine (The Heart)

  · The Blueprint: Jian Zhi and the Engineers from the Alchemic Branch, led by Téng Zhì, meticulously study the Albion Dominion's notes. They create precise technical drawings for every component, adapting them for their superior materials.· The Magma-Foundry (Casting the Bones):

  · Process: Using the six newly discovered magma streams beneath the Giant Tree Forest, the Blacksmith Branch creates specialized foundries. Wooden models of parts are pressed into fire-clay to create molds. Molten iron, superheated in these magma forges, is poured into the molds.

  · Parts Made Here: The main engine cylinder and the heavy frame sections are cast here.

  · The Silk-Steel Forge (Forging the Sinew): · Process: This is where the kingdom's master material shines. Billets of steel are layered with woven steel spider silk and fragments of dragon scale, then heated white-hot in magma forges. They are shaped under the powerful blows of steam hammers into incredibly strong, resilient parts.

  · Parts Made Here: The piston rod, connecting rods, and crankshaft are forged from this enhanced alloy.

  · The Crystal-Precision Shop (Carving the Soul):

  · Process: In a workshop lit by glowing crystals, master artisans use water-powered lathes and borers fitted with diamond-hard tips. They carefully finish each part to exact specifications. ·

  The Lathe: The piston and rods are spun and cut to perfect roundness.

  · The Boring Machine: The cast iron cylinder is bored out to a mirror-smooth finish, ensuring a perfect seal for the piston.

  · Assembly: The finished components—the precision-ground piston, the perfectly bored cylinder, and the mighty Dragon-Silk connecting rods—are assembled into a single, powerful steam engine.

  Part 2: Building the Train (The Body)

  · The Chassis: A long, sturdy frame is constructed from steel beams, riveted together to form the locomotive's skeleton.· The Boiler: Thick plates of the enhanced Steel Spider-Silk alloy are heated in magma forges, bent into cylindrical shapes, and riveted together with immense care to create a boiler capable of withstanding extreme pressure.

  · Final Assembly ("The Marriage"): · The boiler is mounted onto the chassis. · The completed steam engine is installed, its pistons connected to the large driving wheels. · The cast iron wheels are pressed onto their axles. · A cab for the operator and a tender for coal and water are constructed and attached.

  · Rolling Stock (The Wagons): Using the same enhanced alloy for the frames and axles, and legendary timber for the bodies, the Blacksmith Branch constructs sturdy wagons for cargo and passengers.

  This systematic procedure, powered by magma and perfected with divine materials, transforms foreign blueprints into a tangible symbol of the kingdom's power: the first Earth-Dragon Locomotive.

  The first ever Steam Engine, Yǎnhuǒ, was made successfully. It was used to make conveyor belt systems in the quarries of Dawnbreak Vale and Mines of Dawnlight Vale. The steam engines powered the power hammers in the forges and the usage of magma streams became essential for their development. The pipeline system was built successfully with the help of bamboo pipes and concrete made with Mythical Bond. Lin Wei and others came to look at the train and road in the Divine Land of Justice. "Brother, what is this big iron giant? how did you make this? What will it do?" Lin Wei's innocent heart started to shoot questions at her brother. While other people were just waiting for him to explain. "This is Earth-Dragon. It will carry people and resources from the capital to the other two districts. It is powered by Yǎnhuǒ. it also powers our forges, mines, and quarries. with the help of this, everyone's home gets the water from the rivers and lakes. The farms get water it requires on time. It made our Kingdom more developed than the Azure Mandate Empire." Jian Zhi explained how Yǎnhuǒ plays a big role in their kingdom's development. The people's eyes sparkled with excitement and happiness. their mouths were open with big smiles. Jian Zhi said, "Get on everyone." As soon as he said, Everyone who was waiting to ride on the Earth-Dragon went inside and seated themselves. Jian Zhi went to the driver's compartment and announced, "[Clearing the throat]people of The Divine Land of Justice, are you ready for your first time experience in the Earth-Dragon?" Everyone screamed with a mixture of joy and excitement, "YES WE ARE READY YOUR MAJESTY!!!!." The Earth-Dragon's Yǎnhuǒ had heated enough as Jian Zhi pulled the lever for the engine's start. The Earth-Dragon whistled its first whistle in the Divine Land of Justice. People were working on their daily work and minding their usual business. One guy felt the earth is shaking, and he panicked and told his friend, who was sitting near him, "W-Wait, don't you feel the earth is beginning to shake? Th-The earth god is mad at us and trying to swallow us." [Head pat]. His friend said after smacking him on the head, "You numbskull, our King won't let us die, but I do feel like it is shaking." As they were talking, they heard a faint sound of a whistle. Their eyes immediately locked onto the direction it was coming from. They rubbed their eyes and pinched themselves. They couldn't believe their own eyes. The scene of their King riding inside a black iron dragon with women and other people. "So, the Myth was true; there is nothing our King can't do. He is a Miracle worker. "The Earth-Dragon went on at full speed ahead, making noise and getting the attention of the people's eyes wherever it went. The Earth-Dragon and Yǎnhuǒ brought more joy into the lives of the People of the Divine Land of Justice. Yet, that night, in the quiet of his study, Jian Zhi stared at a map of his growing kingdom. The joy of the people was a precious thing, and precious things must be guarded. 'We have fortified the land, connected the districts... but what if the enemies come from the port side?' he asked the silent room. The question echoed, finding no easy answer. A king's work was never done. To protect his people from any form of attack, from any unknown enemy, he would have to develop and shield every side of the Divine Land of Justice."

  This relentless drive for security of his people fueled the six months of Work. The blacksmiths' branch and the Alchemic branch engineers replicated the ship of the Veridians. The port was developed and built to a large size to accommodate more ships. The Ships which are replicated from The Predator of Albion Maritime Company of the Federated Isles of Veridia were embedded with the New weapon that was born from the imagination of their King Jian Zhi. Two new Battleships were made, they are the core of a new naval strategy. The military report detailed their formidable specifications:

  Jian Zhi brought out the Soldiers and the army to demonstrate the true power of the Twins of Destruction as soon as they launched their attack. The army stood silent with their mouths and eyes wide open. Jian Zhi looked at them and smirked and said, "[clearing throat]So don't you like the new weapon?". Lian startled, "N-No, Your Majesty. [shaking her head in denial]". Jian Zhi teased her, "So you DON'T like the twins of Destruction." Lian panicked and said, "Your Majesty, We really really liked the twins and we were too amazed to talk about it loudly, that's all. Everyone say it." Lian made everyone nod their head. "[Hahhaha] I was just teasing you, don't panic. [warm smile]" Jian Zhi showed his humane playfulness for the first time to his people. Lian's legs were frozen, but her heart started to become warmer. Wondering how many secrets this King of theirs has?
