Chapter 78 Population, Oh Population...
When Tang En took the sword in his hand, he wondered if it was the embryo of the sword he saw when he left last night.
The silver-white sword body, beautiful cloud patterns, and smooth lines, it's almost as good as a long sword of elf craftsmanship. Is it really the stick he saw last night?
And when it is held in the hand, it is very smooth, without the slightest sense of sluggishness, as if it was born for him.
"Nonsense! You don't even look at who built it!"
Brian's eyes widened: "Considering your strength and the size of your palm, I made a special adjustment to the entire sword body. If you don't take advantage of it, then what are we dwarves doing in the forging world?"
"I see... Wait! When did you investigate the size of my palm?"
"Just look at me when you pat me on the head!"
Tang En looked at Brian with horror on his face, thinking about it with horror!
"What kind of look do you have... Give it back to me if you don't like it! This is my painstaking effort!"
Brian was furious.
"No, I like it very much!"
Tang En rejected Brian with righteous words: "What's the name of this sword?"
"You name your sword!"
"This sword—"
Tang En rolled his eyes and said, "——let's call it Zhan Tie Jian."
Originally, Tang En wanted to give it a domineering name, such as Chengying, Qixing Longyuan, or even Xuanyuan Sword, but after thinking about it carefully, this thing will be mass-produced in the future. He would be lying if he had one of China's top ten famous swords, so he gave up the idea in the end.
Cutting iron sword is also good, when the time comes, everyone will have one
, the feeling of yelling at EX curry sticks together is quite exciting...
"Iron Slashing Sword? Not a bad name!"
Brian kind of acquiesced to the name.
"Why are you going?"
"Go to sleep!"
Brian muttered, "You've been busy all night and you still don't let me sleep?"
Tang En blurted out: "What time is it? Sleep and you'll be paralyzed!"
Edgar and Brian looked at Tang En in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with this guy.
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay!"
Tang En waved his hand: "I mean, after yesterday's forging, have you thought of anything?"
"The new craft is very powerful, the lord is very powerful, I am very sleepy, so can I go to sleep?"
Brian is too lazy to talk nonsense, so one can imagine how sleepy he is at the moment.
"Don't sleep yet."
How could Tang En let Brian leave? What he didn't finish last night was the focus today.
"Last night's bending and forging process, and Baotou steel process, without my help, how long would you have to do it alone, have you thought about it?"
"Probably a few days."
"But have you ever thought about using a punching machine?"
"Punching machine?"
Brian was startled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he clapped his hands suddenly: "That's right! Why didn't I think about it!"
"It seems that you still haven't remembered the assembly line production method I told you before."
Tang En was speechless: "It's the most trouble-free to entrust this kind of repetitive mechanical labor to machines. If you use a stamping machine, you can even make several sword embryos in one morning. If you add cutting machine, grinding machine or even a polishing machine, it is not a problem to produce dozens of such swords a day, if the number of production lines is large, this kind of sword can be mass-produced, haven’t you thought about it?”
After Tang En's words, Brian and Edgar were both stunned. Before Tang En described the prospect to them, they didn't have a very clear impression, but today was different. They almost immediately Think of the great significance of it.
"Big Brother..."
Brian looked at Tang En with horror on his face: "You don't want to be king, do you?"
Mass-produce high-quality weapons, and he can arm his own soldiers at will. Even if he is a dwarf, he knows how taboo it is.
Tang En shook his head: "I'm not that interested."
"But you..."
Bryan was full of doubts: "Since I met you, you have been emphasizing the liberation of productivity, the improvement of production efficiency, and even created such a heaven-defying thing as a stamping machine. You don't want to be an emperor, what do you want to do?" ? Benefit the public?"
"Of course."
"Ghosts believe it!"
Tang En spread his hands, full of helplessness.
He can't tell Brian and them, because he can't be sure when the crisis will come, so he can only do his best to develop his own strength, right?
At the beginning, the game official website clearly stated the trailer of the expansion pack. Chaos invasion will be the biggest crisis for Prandal. Even if the players work together, they may not be able to resist this danger. Only by becoming a lord and gaining their own Territory, develop the power of NPC (indigenous people), and gather the power of the whole world to defeat the enemy.
Now he came to Prandal inexplicably. Although he didn't know what the relationship between this world and that game was, as long as there was a little danger that might arise, he had to start preparing now.
In fact, if it wasn't for worrying about those strong men hidden in the dark, Twain would have wanted to get rid of the king of the Illus Empire directly, and unify the world by himself to forcibly farm and improve technology.
Before taking care of the overall situation, the first thing Tang En had to do was to protect himself.
That's why he desperately wants Ellington to rise rapidly.
"The truth is you all underestimate 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 were full of disbelief: "Not to mention the leather armor and mage robes, every armor worn by those soldiers is very complicated, how can these machines be mass-produced!"
"What you're pretending in your head is... Alas!"
Tang En sighed heavily, hating that iron can't become steel!
"The whole armor can't be formed in one piece, so can't it be disassembled!?"
"Disassemble? Good idea. In fact, the current armor is disassembled. How can the joints be used? But how do you solve the joints?"
Brian curled his lips in disdain: "The connection is too obvious, it will be a fatal weakness, it is too hidden, and it will affect the efficiency and convenience of wearing armor, and everyone's body shape must be considered... Armor and weapons can be completely It's different! It's much more complicated!"
Only then did Brian regain the confidence of some professional forging masters, and a smug smile appeared on his face again.
"So... let's continue to dismantle it."
Tang En said with a smile: "Take a pair of armor and dismantle it into a hundred... no, a thousand identical parts. At that time, we only need to produce some of each according to the fixed models of different sizes."
"Disassembled into a thousand identical parts? How is it possible!"
Brian shook his head vigorously, this kind of thing is impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Of course it is possible."
Tang En smiled and took out the drawings he drew before going to bed last night: "Look, these two kinds of armor are called fish scale armor and chain mail."
Brian and Edgar leaned together in front of the drawings, and after looking at them for a while, they both raised their heads together and looked at Dunn in shock: "This kind of armor...how did you come up with it?"
"Let's talk about the feasibility first. You won't say it's impossible after seeing the blueprint?"
"It's doable! Of course it's doable! Absolutely doable!"
Brian said decisively: "The design of this kind of armor is very exquisite. Although the defense power is lower than that of the full-body armor, if you use the new materials you made, big brother, it will make up for this defect. At the same time, the weight It has been greatly reduced. Soldiers wearing this kind of armor will not only enhance their mobility and not get tired easily, but also in terms of manufacturing process, it is much simpler!"
Brian was shocked again. This idea is simply incomparable. Breaking down the whole armor into small parts, mass-producing those parts through machinery, and finally weaving them together, has a defense power no less than that of a full-body armor. At the same time, it still retains the portable type. If you add the weapons made by the new forging process...
This will be a group of invincible lions!
Brian took a deep breath. If Tang En said again that he didn't want to dominate the world, he would jump up and hit him in the face!
Um, wait? Can't hit the face? Brian thought fiercely, then hit his penis!
In fact, Brian also knows that it is said to be an invincible lion, but it is not good enough. After all, the high-end combat power in this world is in the hands of the Apocalypse, but these ordinary soldiers can easily crush the armies of other countries—unless the Apocalypse Join the army.
If the strength of these soldiers is generally raised to a higher level, even the strong ones will be exhausted and drowned in the sea of people.
This is... what a scary thing...
Brian felt that what he was holding in his hand was like a terrifying weapon that could destroy the world at any time.
Dunn didn't know that Brian would think so much. The reason why he came up with this design was because he hadn't seen fish scale armor and chain mail in the army of Fort Caspermi before. It is easy to achieve mass production, so I took it out.
Eliminate human beings and unify the world? He didn't even think about that kind of thing. He has one and only one enemy in his heart, and that is the army of chaos that will come at an unknown time.
"Have you also read the drawings? Do you now know what our biggest shortcomings are?"
"...the output of steel? Aren't you going to build that blast furnace and start making steel?"
"That's just one of them, our biggest weakness is... people!"
Tang En said in confusion: "Ellington, there are not so many people who can use it!"
No matter how much the previous metal farm tools liberated productivity, only sporadic ones were liberated, allowing those farmers to have leisure time to consume, and at the same time gave birth to the seeds of other industries.
However, in order to enter the era of large-scale industrial production, population is always the huge problem that Ellington needs to solve most now.
Population...population...
"Is it over? I want to go to bed after I'm done..."
"I want to go to bed too..."
Tang En's eyes turned green when he saw Edgar and Brian, and he wished he could immediately stuff them into the house to have a baby. ===PS: After watching the vote! Otherwise, I will put you in the room and give birth to monkeys!
