When Tang En held the sword in his hand, he wondered if this was the sword embryo he saw when he left last night.
The silver-white sword body, beautiful cloud patterns, and smooth lines. It was not inferior to the elven craftsmanship of the long sword. Was it really the stick he saw last night?
And when he held it in his hand, it was very smooth, without the slightest sense of sluggishness. It was as if it was made for him.
"Nonsense! Don't you know who made it! "
Brian's eyes widened. "The whole sword body was specially adjusted considering your strength and the size of your palm. If it's not comfortable, then how can we dwarves survive in the forging world!"
"I see … Wait! When did you investigate the size of my palm? "
"You'll know when you look at it when you pat my head!"
Tang En looked at Brian with a horrified expression. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was!
"What kind of look is that … If you don't like it, give it back to me! This is my painstaking work! "
Brian was angry.
"No, I like it very much!"
Tang En righteously refused Brian. "What's the name of this sword?"
"You name your sword!"
"This sword —"
Tang En rolled his eyes and said, "— Let's call it the Iron Slaying Sword."
Originally, Tang En wanted to give it a more domineering name, such as Chengying, Qixing Longyuan, or even Xuan Yuan Sword. But after thinking about it carefully, this thing would be f * cking mass-produced in the future. When he thought that everyone would have one of the ten famous swords of Huaxia, he finally dismissed the idea.
The Iron Slaying Sword was also good.
But, the feeling of yelling 'EX curry stick' together was pretty good too …
"Iron Slaying Sword? Good name! "
Brian acquiesced to the name.
"Where are you going?"
"To sleep!"
Brian muttered, "I've been busy all night, and you still won't let me sleep?"
Tang En blurted out, "What time is it? Sleep your * ss! Get up! "
Edgar and Brian looked at Tang En in confusion, not knowing what was wrong with this guy.
"Ahem, it's nothing!"
Tang En waved his hand. "What I mean is, after yesterday's forging, did you think of anything?"
"The new craftsmanship is amazing, and the Lord is amazing. I'm very tired, so can I go to sleep?"
Brian was too lazy to talk nonsense. One could imagine how sleepy he was at this moment.
"I can't sleep yet."
How could Tang En let Brian leave? What he didn't finish last night was the main point today.
"If you didn't have my help, how long would you have taken to complete last night's forging and Baotou Steel?"
"Probably in a few days."
"But have you ever thought about using the punching machine?"
"Press machine?"
Brian was stunned. Then, an idea flashed through his mind. He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Why didn't I think about it? "
"It seems that you still don't remember the assembly line production method I told you before."
Tang En was speechless. "This kind of repetitive mechanical work can be done by machines. If you use the punching machine, you can even make several sword embryos in the morning. If you pair it with a cutting machine, a grinding machine, or even a polishing machine, it won't be a problem to produce dozens of such swords a day. If the production line is large enough, this kind of sword can be mass produced. Haven't you thought about it?"
After hearing Tang En's words, Brian and Edgar were stunned. Previously, Tang En had described the prospect to them, but they didn't have a clear impression of it. However, today was different. They almost immediately thought of the great significance of it.
"Big brother …"
Brian looked at Tang En in horror. "Don't tell me you want to be a king?"
Even if he was a dwarf, he knew how big of a taboo it was to produce high-quality weapons in batches and equip his own soldiers at will.
Tang En shook his head. "I don't have that kind of interest."
"But you …"
Brian was full of doubts. "Since I met you, you have been constantly emphasizing on liberating productivity and improving production efficiency. You even came up with such a heaven-defying thing like the punching machine. If you don't want to be an emperor, what do you want to do? Benefit the people? "
"Of course."
"Who would believe you!"
Tang En spread his hands, full of helplessness.
He couldn't tell Brian and the others that he could only try his best to develop his own strength because he couldn't be sure when the crisis would come, right?
At that time, the game's official website clearly stated that the invasion of Chaos would be the biggest crisis in Prandal. Even if the players worked together, they might not be able to resist this danger. Only by becoming a lord, gaining his own territory, developing the strength of the NPCs (natives), and gathering the strength of the whole world could it be possible to defeat the enemy.
Now, he had inexplicably come to Prandal. Although he didn't know what the relationship between this world and the game was, as long as there was a slight possibility of danger, he had to start preparing now.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was worried about the strong people hiding in the dark, Tang En would have directly killed the king of the Irus Empire and unified the world by force.
Before considering the big picture, the first thing Tang En had to do was to protect himself.
That was why he was eager to see Ellington rise quickly.
"In fact, you all underestimated the power of industry."
Tang En shook his head. "Not only weapons, but even armor can be mass produced."
"What? Are you kidding us? "
Brian and Edgar's faces were full of disbelief. "Let's not talk about leather armor and mage robes. Every armor worn by those soldiers is very complicated. How can it be mass produced with just these machines?"
"What's in your heads … Sigh!"
Tang En sighed heavily. He was exasperated that they didn't live up to his expectations!
"If the whole armor can't be formed as a whole, then can't it be taken apart?!"
"Taken apart? Good idea. In fact, the current armor is made by taking it apart. How can it be used without taking apart the joints? But how do you solve the problem of the joints? "
Brian curled his lips in disdain. "The joints are too obvious and will be a fatal weakness. If it's too hidden, it will affect the efficiency and convenience of wearing the armor. You also have to consider the body size of each person … Armor and weapons are completely different! It's much more complicated! "
At this time, Brian finally regained some of his confidence as a professional forging master, and a proud smile appeared on his face again.
"So … Then continue to take it apart."
Tang En said with a smile. "Take a set of armor and disassemble it into a hundred … No, a thousand identical parts. When the time comes, you just have to produce some of each type according to the fixed size. That's enough."
"Disassemble it into a thousand identical parts? How is that possible! "
Brian shook his head hard. This kind of thing was impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Of course it's possible."
Tang En smiled and took out the drawings that he had drawn before going to bed last night. "Take a look. These two types of armor are called fish scale armor and chain armor."
Brian and Edgar gathered in front of the drawings. After looking at it for a while, the two of them raised their heads and looked at Tang En in shock. "This kind of armor … How did you think of it?"
"Let's talk about the feasibility first. After seeing the drawings, you won't say that it's impossible, right?"
"It's feasible! Of course it's feasible! It's absolutely feasible! "
Brian said firmly. "The design of this kind of armor is very exquisite. Although the defensive power is lower than that of full-body armor, with the new materials that you have made, it will make up for this shortcoming. At the same time, the weight will be greatly reduced. When the soldiers wear this kind of armor, not only will their mobility be enhanced and they won't be tired easily, but in terms of manufacturing process, it will also be much simpler!"
Brian was shocked once again. This kind of idea was simply wonderful. By disassembling the whole armor into small parts, mass-producing those parts through machinery, and finally weaving them together, it would have a defensive power that was not inferior to full-body armor. At the same time, it would retain its light weight. If the weapons made with the new forging process were added …
This would be a group of invincible lions!
Brian took a deep breath. If Tang En said that he didn't want to dominate the world, he would definitely jump up and slap his face!
Hmm, wait? I can't slap his face? Brian thought fiercely. Then I'll slap his penis!
In fact, Brian also knew that it was not enough to call them invincible lions. After all, the high-end combat power of this world was in the hands of the Apocalypse Ones. However, these ordinary soldiers could easily crush the armies of other countries — unless the Apocalypse Ones joined the army.
If the strength of these soldiers was increased by another level, even the powerhouses would be exhausted and drown in the sea of people.
This … What a terrifying thing …
Brian felt that he was holding a terrifying killing machine that could destroy the world at any time.
Tang En didn't know that Brian was thinking so much. The reason why he took out this design was that he hadn't seen the fish scale armor and chain armor in the army of Caspermy Castle before. It just so happened that these two types of armor could be easily mass-produced, so he took them out.
Eliminate the human race and unify the world? He had never even thought about that. He only had one enemy in his heart, and that was the army of Chaos that would come at any time.
"Have you finished looking at the blueprint? Now do you know what our biggest weakness is? "
"… The production of steel? Aren't you going to build that blast furnace and start making steel? "
"That's just one of our weaknesses. Our biggest weakness is … people!"
Tang En said with hesitation, "Ellington, there aren't that many people that can be used!"
Even if the previous metal farming tools liberated the productivity, they only liberated a little bit. It gave those farmers leisure time to consume, and at the same time, it gave birth to the budding of other industries.
However, in order to enter the era of large-scale industrial production, population was always the biggest problem that Ellington had to solve.
Population … Population …
"Are you done? If you are, I want to go to sleep … "
"I also want to go to sleep …"
Tang En looked at them with green eyes. He couldn't wait to immediately stuff them into the house to give birth to children. = = = PS: Vote after reading! Otherwise, I'll stuff you into the room to give birth to monkeys!
