Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Clang, clang, clang..."

What appeared in front of Li Cha's eyes was a very shocking scene. The carbon was burning violently, the furnace was roaring, thousands of craftsmen were working inside, and the sound of hammers was all heard in his ears.

"Master Li Cha!"

Seeing Li Cha coming, the managers of the ordnance factory immediately greeted him.

"How much is the output of the machinery factory in a day now?"

"If we go all out, we can produce more than 200 sets of half-body plate armor a day with sufficient raw materials. If we process the armor pieces of cloth face armor, the output can be doubled. There are more than 3,000 spear heads and 5,000 arrows. Multiple..."

"Um…"

Li Cha nodded, and was quite satisfied with the output. The ordnance factory is a small gold finger that Li Cha opened in this world. The hydraulic hammer forging is the idea proposed by Li Cha, which was implemented by these craftsmen. Now more than a dozen forging hammers have been erected beside the tributaries of the Xiaoling River, saving a lot of manpower. In the entire Golden Dragon Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no place with higher production capacity than the ordnance factory under Li Cha.

After inspecting around without finding any problems, Li Cha turned back to the original place, and simply asked the management staff and the accompanying master craftsmen:

"Is there any difficulty in the production of equipment in the ordnance factory now?"

"this…"

The manager looked at each other with several master craftsmen and then said:

"There is no longer any problem with conventional weapons and armor. With hydraulic hammer forging and bellows, the weapons and armor made by our Northland Ordnance Factory are definitely high-quality products. Every piece can be sold in the market. Selling at a premium."

"It's just that our craftsmanship is still not as good as that of the dwarves. After we use the best knight swords and the knight swords made by the dwarves bought from the market, the weapons made by the dwarves are still stronger and sharper. The armor is also much stronger than ours."

The weapons and armor made by the ordnance factory are not as good as the weapons and armor produced by the dwarves, which is within Li Cha's acceptance range. After all, it is the cooking skill of the dwarves, and it is not something that can be caught up by opening one or two golden fingers. Anyway, the dwarves produced Things, in terms of the kingdom, at least a knight-rank officer can afford to use them. Although the quality of the Northland Ordnance Factory is not as good as that of the dwarves, it is much easier to use than the equipment made by ordinary human craftsmen. Mass rigging is perfectly acceptable.

"It's okay, just ensure our quality first, and don't have to compare with dwarves."

However, although Li Cha can accept it, the group of the best craftsmen in the Northland are not convinced. Now the people in the Northland, especially the people from the old Hunter, are full of arrogance in their hearts. It's related to publicity, and it's also related to Richard's unbeaten defeat since his fortune, and the fact that he brought the Northlanders over as far as possible. Anyway, they think that the Northlanders shouldn't lose to the dwarves, and several master craftsmen all thought that the weapons they made were not as good as the dwarves. I am brooding, and I have ten thousand dissatisfaction in my heart.

"Master Richard! It's not a big deal for the dwarves to make things. We all know their skills, and they can't be worse than theirs when forged with a hydraulic forging hammer!"

A master with beards and dark skin couldn't help but speak first.

Li Cha also became interested when he saw the bearded man, who could be judged from his appearance as a senior blacksmith, with an unconvinced expression on his face.

"What's the reason for that?"

"The dwarves are stronger than us. One is the metal formula. This is passed down from generation to generation. We can't help it. They can improve the quality of weapons by adding several metals in different proportions. We have tried several formulas now. There are also some useful ones,

But the dwarves still rely more on the ground fire they occupy. They have a much better advantage than us in casting weapons and armor in the ground fire. Even if we use the bellows, the temperature cannot be increased to that level. With an equivalent source of fire, we can create equipment that is not inferior to dwarves. "

"Then how to increase the temperature of the forging furnace?"

"There are dragons..."

"Didn't Old John tell you not to mention it!"

The blacksmith named John let go of his chatter box, and when he was about to keep talking, his mouth was suddenly covered by the steward behind him. Obviously, everyone around him knew what bad idea this old John was going to come up with.

When the masters were discussing the technology, they mentioned the problem of the furnace temperature. If the temperature can be increased, whether it is experimenting with metal formulas or forging some special metals, it will be smoother, and the quality of equipment will also be visible to the naked eye.

But after thinking about it, they couldn't think of any way to increase the temperature except the dwarf's ground fire. Only Old John came up with an unreliable idea. The dragon's breath is even hotter than the dwarf's ground fire. Well, as long as the giant dragons under Mr. Richard can come to cooperate several times a month, they can get a batch of high-quality equipment.

Now that Hunter's family has become richer, ordinary soldiers use self-produced weapons and armor, and the equipment used by officers is also a lot of dwarven equipment purchased at high prices. If they can create some high-quality equipment, they can save a lot of money. An expensive equipment fee.

It's just that the idea was good, but it was quickly rejected by everyone. Letting the proud dragon to help you burn the stove, isn't that crazy? Even if the dragon agreed, no dragon knight would let his partner do the job. But this is really not a problem for Li Cha, anyway, the giant dragon is usually raised, and when there is nothing to do, coming to the ordnance factory to help out is just enough for them to eat so much living expenses every day.

As for the arrogance of the giant dragon, that's all right. The dragons under Li Cha's subordinates didn't talk about arrogance with Li Cha.

"Don't stop him, just keep talking."

With Li Cha's order, several stewards also let go of the excited Old John. Seeing that Li Cha was willing to listen, Old John was even more elated.

"My lord! As long as we have four giant dragons, we can use the breath of the dragons to help add a fire at the critical moment. It doesn't need to be too tiring. I can guarantee that we will be able to make equipment that exceeds the quality of dwarves!"

"We can even try to make some key parts of the bear hunting crossbow by ourselves, so we don't need to buy it at a high price."

"May I have your name?"

"My name is John, John Tieli."

"Good name."

This name made Li Cha feel like a blacksmith when he heard it, and couldn't help but praise it.

"Hey, my family has been blacksmiths in the Northland for generations. I used to make custom equipment for the officers of the Lanster family."

John's technology is indeed no problem. After the annexation of Snow City, the Hunter family really became a big fat man. The army is second. The technical personnel such as artisans obtained are comparable to Richard's seven or eight years ago. accumulation.

"I'll draw six giant dragons for you. When the forging is critical, let them use the dragon's breath to help warm them up. I hope you can come up with the results as soon as possible."

"It can be done within a week! If you can't make it, throw me in the stove and add fire."

Hearing Li Cha's promise to send out six giant dragons, John felt a little swollen, and he patted his chest and made a military order to hit the wall.

The people around didn't stop them either. They all looked dull now. When can the giant dragon be used to help light the stove?

Li Cha finished his inspection of the machinery factory after his last habitual greetings, leaving only the excited blacksmith John and the steward who just woke up from a dream...

what is this? Dragon technology?
