Ride and Cut

When Li Cha flew back to Gaoshan Castle, he could see the blacksmith's workshop bustling with activity from a long distance in the sky.

"What are you doing?" Anyway, there was nothing wrong for the time being, so he flew directly and landed in the crowd.

There are not only tall and strong centaurs, tree-like dwarves, but also many mole men with black heads and black brains. Standing there is not as tall as a dwarf, and it can't even match a centaur's leg.

Although these severely short-sighted little guys can't wield a forging hammer, they have a unique sensitivity to fine structures.

In the former kingdom of half-orcs, the excellent carriages they made were sold in various countries, and the price was quite expensive. Now that he has moved to Alpine Fort, the lord himself is not very supportive of the luxury goods industry - those things may be able to bring in a lot of income at ordinary times, but they are almost completely useless once a war breaks out.

The old business of making carriages can't be counted on, but skilled craftsmen will always have a place to use, so most of them have become members of the military industry department.

The reputation of the brave warriors of Alpine Fortress has long been spread, and even the three-year-old children in Cologne have heard of it.

But outsiders would never have imagined that this remote, newly established Marquis Territory actually has a military industry department that can be called the number one in Pompeii in terms of scale, technology, or talent pool!

In addition to the contiguous factory building that he could see, Li Cha knew that there were three full floors of underground structures hidden under his feet.

In those secret warehouses buried deep underground, not only are there stored various trial weapons that have not been mass-produced, but there are also the remains of various ancient weapons pulled from the goblin ruins.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you randomly take out two pieces, it is very likely to cause an uproar in the entire human world.

"My lord, we have made the lighter you want." The elder Mole Man respectfully presented a metal square box.

"Oh?" Li Cha copied it over, and pressed the button very skillfully, and immediately a steady light blue flame burned.

Li Cha took a closer look and found that the structure is actually very simple. There is a fire rune inside the box, and a small piece of magic stone is connected to the box.

As soon as the button is pressed, the magic stone will fall on the rune, and the flame will burn.

This thing was also a whim on his mind, and he casually mentioned it during dinner. Unexpectedly, in just two or three days, a similar finished product was produced in the workshop.

And the post-processing is also in place, you can't feel any rough edges when you hold it in your hand, and the surface is polished so bright that it can almost reflect the shadow of a person.

"That's right." The lord shook his hand, and the lighter turned into a ball of silver light and flew up and down between his fingers, and suddenly stopped firmly with a "snap". This made the Elder Mole Man puzzled over what to do, since the results had just come out, but the lord's posture seemed to be playing with it for several years.

It's a pity that there is no cigarette, otherwise it would be cool to light one. Li Cha felt somewhat regretful.

"But how is the weaponization of the fire rune going?"

Elder Mole Man looked left and right. A group of cunning people looked at the sky and the ground. They had no intention of making a sound at all, so they had to bite the bullet and say, "General."

"The power of a single fire rune is not strong enough, and there is almost no lethal type. But connecting multiple runes is not as simple as it seems, and we are still groping."

"Don't worry, just take your time." The lord said comfortingly.

If what Liola did in the goblin ruins was theoretical research, then these craftsmen were trying to transfer the theoretical results into the practical field.

To be honest, even Li Cha himself is not very optimistic about what decent results can be produced in the short term. After all, the alpine castle is really poor in terms of elements and magic.

But people can't just look at the present, but also have to plan for the long-term.

"However, we have made some logistical products." Elder Mole Man carefully looked at his face, "For example, a sleeping bag with heating function, and a marching stove that can automatically light a fire..."

The Mole Man's voice is getting smaller and smaller. After all, according to the current mainstream view, it is a basic virtue for the chief soldier to endure hardship. The fact that the military industry actually produces these "useless" things is almost tantamount to a crime.

The lord was taken aback.

He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he went with the Young Pioneers to interview a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The old man didn't talk about any heroic deeds during the whole process.

"Logistics is combat effectiveness. If you pick up more practical ones, you can mass-produce some of them."

Li Cha felt that if these things were fully installed in the future, the living standard of the Ripper Legion would probably be an era away from that of the Allied Forces, and it would probably be impossible to escape the title of Young Master Soldier.

The greatly encouraged craftsmen invited the lord to inspect the military industrial area, and Richard did his part.

I walked around with a group of leaders and saw that the blacksmiths were pouring in large quantities.

The hot molten iron was poured into the prepared sand mold, and white smoke rose everywhere. After quenching, it is slightly polished and equipped with the simplest equipment, and then it is packed in a box and carried on a carriage to be transported away. The quality of the finished product produced in this way is very average, and it is prepared for the armed wilderness natives in an all-out war in the future.

He finished reading and was about to make a few short speeches, but was dragged away by Anne before he got too bureaucratic.

"Master Du Pont is here."

The lord had no choice but to end the matter hastily and return to his private living room.

"Li Cha, what's the matter between you and Yeyu?" Du Peng looked him up nicely, "Yeyu lived in Gaoshan Castle, but the chakras behind your head are clearly still there."

"Old man, old man, don't pick up any pot without opening it." Li Cha put his arms around his neck with a smile, "We have a relationship, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Last time you asked me to help dredge the volcanic veins, so I'm here now." Du Pont coughed, his expression vaguely unnatural, "Also, let's take a look at Sinclair's child by the way."

"Then let's go to dredge the earth's veins first." The lord led the way ahead.

Under the castle, the mole man also created a very complicated underground structure. Along the spiral staircase all the way down, the heavy noise on the surface was gradually isolated by the soil layer. Being in an extremely quiet environment, it seemed as if I could hear the beating of my heart in my chest.

This place is already completely out of reach of daylight, thanks to the artificial transplantation of many luminescent bacteria on the surrounding walls, it is barely possible to see things.

"How deep is this stairwell?" As soon as Master Du Pont uttered his voice, there were layers of echoes immediately.

Those luminescent bacteria that were originally dim also emitted a slightly brighter blue light

"There is a 150-blade stairwell, and there are twelve additional large underground warehouses." Li Cha said proudly, "Alpine Fort has masters in construction engineering, and hundreds of civilians have been mobilized. Otherwise, it would be impossible to easily excavate an underground building of this scale."
