After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2190

Chapter 2190: The Chosen Themes

The newly arrived dwarves saw the merry-go-round and were eager to ride it. It only had the basic shell done, but they absolutely could be used to test run.

The dwarves gasped a little as they sat down. There were figurines of broats, tigers, horses, and other Terran animals. As always, for things like these, they did not use aggressive monsters lest children think the monsters outside were friendly.

The twirling was slow, but it was relaxing. They also liked it when the seat rose up and went down slowly, as if they were getting carried in a leisurely ride.

At the same time, they also analyzed the machine’s movements.

"It’s so consistent."

"Is no one really driving it?"

"No, it only has a switch. I saw it, ba."

"It doesn’t have arrays at all."

Dwarves could see this at a glance.

It was Taiso who spoke up. "Yes. Here, we can combine arrays but also make things move and work in complex ways without them."

"Eh?"

"How is that?"

The newcomers, the dwarves from the East, had done everything non-manual using arrays. Whether it was the components in their bombs and trebuchets, or their mining carts, all of this made use of arrays; It was why they tended to take so long to finish anything.

"While some things would always require an array, I learned that there are other things that didn’t need them—they just needed to manipulate the natural forces of nature. They called this...science."

Taiso explained to his brethren about all the things he had learned since stepping into Alterra. It hadn’t been long since then, but he knew his growth rate after coming here had already exceeded the earlier half of his life.

"If we can combine those science concepts of Alterra into arrays, what do you think we can make?"

...

Suffice it to say, the dwarves were fascinated. They even volunteered to work and help with the theme park for free.

Of course, Alterra wasn’t into slave labor, so they would definitely pay wages and contribution points.

After signing NDAs and oaths, the dwarves were then made privy to the rest of the planned rides. There were blueprints there, which detailed how they would work.

Except for a few magical rides that were still theoretical at this time, none of the other rides used arrays at all!

Who would’ve thought something so big could rotate indefinitely with just a switch? Who would’ve thought that a giant rocking boat could exist above ground? Who would’ve thought that several people could be lifted super high above the ground and then safely fall down an instant later?

And those conceptual rides that would likely need arrays...the dwarves could tell that this was where they would be most useful.

They could learn so many new concepts while also being given a chance to create something new—the dwarves were all so excited; it was as if they found the meaning of life!

After all, their whole lives, they stayed in that walled cave. The only things they did were bombs or a few traps, just surviving, but without much excitement. They barely even knew what that emotion was.

Fast, exciting, high!
