Burse asked Wang Pengyu directly how many crossbows he had.

Although other iron weapons are precious, there is no problem in gathering the power of six city-states to build thousands and hundreds of iron swords. However, the quality is not as good as Wang Pengyu's titanium steel swords and alloy swords, and the increase in fighting spirit is smaller.

Titanium steel swords and steel armors mainly increase the battlefield survivability of level nine strong men. Every level nine strong man is extremely precious. It is basically impossible to directly rush into the opponent's army and fight hand-to-hand. Instead, they are used as a deterrent force.

Therefore, since the beginning of the war, only seven or eight level 9 warriors from the six city-states have died, while ordinary warriors have died in the millions.

The only thing that can really change the outcome of a war is a powerful killing weapon like the crossbow. If the crossbow is strong enough, even the thorn tree god may not be able to kill him on the battlefield.

This is like a mosquito. One mosquito can do nothing to humans. If thousands of mosquitoes sting someone at the same time and cannot dodge, it is normal to kill a person.

Unfortunately, the six city-states have a lot of iron metal and can make iron swords, but no matter how much research they do, they cannot imitate the crossbow.

Wang Pengyu did not answer Burse directly. He pondered for a moment before saying, "I wonder, Count Burse, how many crossbows do you need?"

Crossbows are not valuable items on Earth, but passing through the Cave of Darkness and breaking through the barriers to transport them to Ten Thousand Beast Island is by no means an easy task. Even if Wang Pengyu is determined to help the six city-states defeat the Zerg invasion, it is impossible to supply crossbows without any conditions.

Give them crossbows and iron weapons.

Especially when the earth is about to be catastrophic, and the factories will be shut down, alloy steels with relatively high technical content such as titanium steel will be hard to find. Wang Pengyu now has people hoarding these steels in large quantities. But even if he can hoard a huge amount of steel, for the small world

It is said that they are just pebbles thrown into the sea, and it is difficult to cause any waves.

A divine dragon empire is equal to the total area of ​​the earth's land and oceans, not to mention the entire small world? How much steel can Wang Pengyu transport through the space barrier to get here?

Burse and others had naturally studied how many weapons they needed to buy, and then nodded and said: "The weapons Mr. Wang previously sold to us helped us resist many Zerg attacks, but the quantity was still a bit small, and some of them were damaged.

We can only defend passively. It is difficult to take the initiative to attack."

"We have discussed that although there are reinforcements from the ninth-level experts and flying Warcraft warriors from Blackstone Plains, if we want to completely defeat the main force of the Zerg, we still need at least 300 powerful crossbows!"

Wang Pengyu's face changed slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that their appetite was so big. Previously, they only exchanged a few dozen strong crossbows in total, but now they have three hundred. Do they really think that strong crossbows are just roadside goods?

A strong crossbow weighs more than two hundred kilograms, eight of which weigh one ton, and three hundred strong crossbows weigh close to forty tons. It is almost comparable to the meteorite that Wang Pengyu worked so hard to transfer to Pingshan. These

In addition to the weight of the container, it would take a lot of effort for Wang Pengyu to break through the barrier and transport it to Ten Thousand Beast Island.

He had delivered goods twice before, and Tiandu Chihuo and others took turns to make two trips. Using the high-level magic weapon he gave him, he managed to break through a relatively large crack in the barrier, and also brought a small space ring.

The total amount of materials transported to Lingshu Valley is about 150 tons.

These materials are mainly various thermal weapons, bullets, fuel, etc. The titanium steel swords and crossbows that are actually traded to the indigenous people of Xiaoqian World only add up to four hundred, and there are only two hundred crossbows!

Burse asked for three hundred strong crossbows. Even if Wang Pengyu gave them all the crossbows, it would not be enough.

When Qin Qingtian saw Wang Pengyu's face change slightly and he said nothing, he couldn't help but feel anxious and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, is it possible that the crossbow is not strong enough?"

Wang Pengyu glanced at everyone, nodded and said with a wry smile: "City Lord Qin, Count Boers, this powerful crossbow is not easy to make, and Wang has to have people transport it here from a very far away place. Naturally, the quantity cannot be too large. Now

The number of powerful crossbows in Lingshu Valley’s reserve is only over 100…”

He was not reserved at all. The price of the transaction must be negotiated, so he continued: "It's not that Wang is unkind. Making a strong crossbow costs a lot of money, and it's not owned by Wang alone. There are many brothers behind him who need it."

We can’t just give the food to you like this.”

"Three hundred strong crossbows are not a small amount. Can the six city-states now use so many magic cores to purchase strong crossbows?"

Wang Pengyu frowned slightly and looked at Qin Qingtian and others.

Qin Qingtian and others guessed that Wang Pengyu had great support behind him, and maybe even the legendary four-armed ancient tribe to help. Now that Wang Pengyu said it himself, it only proved that their guess was correct and did not cause any shock!

How can manpower create such an exquisite weapon? Unlike the magic weapon, which requires magic power to drive, the weapon can exert such a powerful force with its own elasticity. I am afraid that only the four-armed ancients who are said to be able to create any object can do it.

This point.

Lei Qianyu thought for a moment and said slowly: "We all know the value of three hundred crossbows. To be honest with Mr. Wang, if the Zerg had not invaded three years ago, we would have been able to buy it with all our strength.

Come down, but now, I absolutely don’t have this ability.”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "We plan to pay part of the money first, and after defeating the Zerg, we will resume production, send people to hunt Warcraft, or trade these weapons with other city-states, and we will definitely settle all the balance within three years."

!”

Wang Pengyu nodded slightly, and then said: "In fact, to deal with the Zerg, it is not necessary to have such a large number of crossbows. I have something here that can kill ordinary insect soldiers on a large scale, and even elite insect soldiers and insect generals will have a certain effect. Cooperation

It won’t be too difficult to repel the Zerg army with powerful crossbow strikes.”

The people of the six city states were all surprised when they heard what Wang Pengyu said. One of them had several terrifying centipede-like scars on his face, and the middle-aged general whose left ear was torn couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Wang, those ordinary insect soldiers, although

They are not strong, but they are small and very fast. It is difficult for our warriors to hit them. The only thing that can kill them in a large area is area magic."

"We also tried using fire attacks, but it was difficult to work. The Zerg have special fire-bending insects. Not only are they not afraid of flames, they can also spit water foam to extinguish the flames."

He thought Wang Pengyu was talking about using flammable black oil to burn the Zerg.

Wang Pengyu shook his head: "I have tested some Zerg species and there is no problem in killing them."

"In addition to this insect-killing thing, I can also bring out a hundred powerful crossbows. In addition, when I came here earlier, I saw some women and children working in the mountains. They only ate porridge and wild vegetables. Are the six city-states afraid that they will not be able to sustain food?

Wang also has ways to help you solve this problem."

"What? Can Mr. Wang also solve our food shortage problem?"

Qin Qingtian opened his eyes wide and looked at Wang Pengyu with disbelief, almost thinking that he had heard wrong.

They are now facing two major difficulties. The first is of course the invasion of the Zerg, and the second is the shortage of food, especially the fall of the Sunset City-State, which burned 100,000 tons of food, making the six city-states even more nervous about food.

Even if the casualties in the battle were serious, the six city-states combined still have a population of about eight million. It is extremely difficult for these eight million people to support more than one million warriors.

The six city-states have a vast area that can be compared with the whole of China. The problem is that most of the places are barren lands. Coupled with backward productivity, food has always been insufficient.

Unlike the Zerg, they can eat bark and weeds. After more than two years of fighting, many fields have been abandoned and food is not enough. In order to support this million-strong army, the food of the six city-states has been controlled. Those who do not join the army

, he can only eat two bowls of gruel and one piece of dry biscuit every day.

Because of this, the city lords of the six city-states thought that the Zerg would retreat after suffering heavy casualties, so they sent some old and weak soldiers to the Thorny Mountains to die!

It's okay to say that Wang Pengyu has iron weapons, but if you let go of food, it's normal to eat three to five kilograms of meat and rice a day. There are eight million people, and they need two kilograms of meat, millet, and rice a day. Calculate it like this.

It’s 16 million kilograms of grain. A month’s consumption can reach an astonishing 480 million kilograms. How could Wang Pengyu have such a huge amount of grain?

People near Wang Pengyu felt that Wang Pengyu was exaggerating. Lei Qianyu was also afraid that Wang Pengyu did not understand the situation of the six city-states, so he pointed out in particular: "Mr. Wang, you have so much food? Our six city-states have a population of eight million.

!”

Wang Pengyu smiled and said: "Of course I don't have that much food, but I can find you some food crops that reproduce quickly and have high yields. As long as the six city-states can support them for a year and a half, these crops will reproduce for two or three generations. Naturally,

It can solve the food problem of the six city-states."

He is not bragging casually. The population density of the earth is a hundred times that of the Shenjiao Empire. In terms of food production research, the people of the Six City-States are by no means comparable. Although the food production here is low, in many cases it is caused by Warcraft.

There are many magical beasts in the wilds of the six city-states, and ordinary people cannot cope with them at all. Even if they plant crops, they may be destroyed by the magical beasts. They can only work near the city-states and within the limits that humans can control, making it impossible to open up a lot of land to plant crops.

The crop that reproduces quickly and has high yield is none other than sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have low environmental requirements and are extremely easy to reproduce. Both vines and tubers can reproduce offspring. The yield per mu is as high as 4,000 to 8,000 kilograms. Especially here, with sufficient aura, Wang Pengyu estimates that one acre of sweet potatoes can yield at least 10,000 kilograms.

Yield in kilograms.

Based on two harvests a year, this means that as long as more than 100,000 acres of sweet potatoes are planted, the food problem of the six city-states can be solved.

Any city-state can get over 100,000 acres of fields. The wilderness city-state with the least fields has a population of one million, and each person has two or three acres of cultivated land!

Because it is easy to propagate and does not require much care, there is absolutely no problem in planting a large number of sweet potatoes. Although eating sweet potatoes every meal will definitely not taste good and the nutrition is not balanced, it is better than starving to death alive. (To be continued.)
