Throne of Vientiane Civilization

He can leave as soon as he wants. Zhou Xu has always been very active.

When Wang Dong saw this, he stood up quickly.

"Just in time, I'm also going to Black Moon Village."

On the one hand, there is a high probability that he will not be able to avoid this matter. As the person closely involved, Wang Dong must confirm the situation in person.

On the other hand, during this period of recuperation, he was actually not idle. He had been fulfilling his duties as a teacher and seriously teaching the village management how to read.

His job is not fixed in Salt Lake Village. From time to time, he has to travel to other villages to teach a few classes and check homework by the way, such as Black Moon Village.

The two of them have been taking a break since the last intermission.

Although it cannot be said that it has fully recovered, normal operations will not be affected.

Riding horses all the way, Zhou Xu and Wang Dong arrived at Black Moon Village at almost the fastest speed.

Zhou Xu arrived here without saying a word and went straight to the forging department.

Seeing their leader appear, Wang Dachui naturally knew what was going on.

Without any nonsense, Zhou Xu walked in and spoke directly...

"Where are all the ready gun tips?"

"In the weapons rack over there."

Following the direction of Wang Dachui's finger, Zhou Xu quickly saw a batch of iron guns that had been produced and were waiting to be enchanted and strengthened.

Picking up two of the iron guns, Zhou Xu didn't stay here for long, turned around and left, heading straight to his residence.

"You guys are guarding this place. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"yes!"

For the next test, he needs a relatively quiet environment so that he can concentrate better.

Zhou Xu walked into the house and sat at his desk. He placed the two iron guns steadily in front of him, and then applied the 'primary weapon blessing' effect to them as quickly as possible.

Then Zhou Xu took a breath, and after waiting for a moment, he gently placed his hand on one of the iron guns, trying to sense the power of the mantra on it.

I don't know if it's because the effect of this mantra was blessed by himself, so the perception this time went particularly smoothly.

At that moment, Zhou Xu clearly felt that there was a force flowing slowly on the head of the enchanted iron gun.

[It stands to reason that the 'primary weapon blessing' should have the effect of automatically absorbing natural energy and maintaining the continuous operation of the mantra. If the power of the iron gun is exhausted, there must be something wrong. 】

With the flash of this thought, Zhou Xu quickly discovered the problem during the continuous perception process.

At this moment, the problem happening to this iron gun can be fully summarized in four words, that is, 'making ends meet'.

The 'primary weapon blessing' he blessed on the iron gun did absorb natural energy to replenish it, but the absorption efficiency was very low.

On the other hand, in order to keep the iron gun sharp and tough, the energy consumption rate obviously exceeds the replenishment rate, and it is natural that it will eventually lose its power completely.

And in this case, even if you absorb a trace of power with the effect of 'primary weapon blessing', it will soon be exhausted again, constantly overdrawn, and thus fall into an endless cycle with no solution. .

In fact, the above enchantment effect is working normally, but in terms of results, the enchantment on the iron gun is basically no different from a 'disposable consumable'.

This reminded Zhou Xu of an efficiency issue that came to mind when he was discussing the silver steel sword with Hilke.

The efficiency of iron is obviously very poor. To put it simply, iron may require twice the energy to produce only half the original effect.

This is also the main reason why the ‘primary weapon blessing’ was placed on the iron gun and eventually became a ‘disposable consumable’.

Zhou Xu, who figured out this problem, felt even more melancholy now.

Because this problem cannot be solved at all now, unless he can find a special metal similar to 'mithril' to improve the 'efficiency' of the weapon.

Judging from this time, even if he could find it, it would be impossible to open the mine in time, extract the ore, smelt the alloy, and forge weapons in time.

Not to mention that he can’t find it yet…

After taking a long breath and adjusting his mood, Zhou Xu carried two iron guns to the testing ground outside the village.

He now needs another test.

There was no need to prepare. Zhou Xu picked up the enchanted iron spear and stabbed it directly into an arrow target made of straw rope.

Under the blessing of the enchantment effect, he didn't use much force, and the sharp spear tip easily sank into the target.

After trying this, Zhou Xu quickly took two more iron guns to sense them.

Then he made a new discovery. The iron gun he had just used to stab the archery target had less mantra power left on it than the other iron gun that had not been stabbed.

At present, the difference is not big, but it is enough for Zhou Xu to come to the conclusion that during the attack, the power added to it will be further lost.

After confirming this, Zhou Xu picked up the enchanted iron gun that had not been tested for attack. This time he directly found a wooden stake and stabbed it hard.

The wooden stake was hard, but it could not withstand the sharpness of the iron gun, and the gun tip was half-entrapped.

Then he pulled out the iron gun and Zhou Xu sensed it.

"call--"

At this moment, he completely confirmed that the power of enchantment will be consumed with the attack. The greater the intensity of the attack, or the greater the impact on the iron gun, the greater the consumption.

This is not good news.

Because this situation made him clearly realize that during the war, the enchantment on the iron gun might not last even for a week.

Once a battle breaks out, maybe just one battle, the enchanted power attached to the iron gun will be exhausted.

According to this consumption rate, when there are hundreds of enchanted weapons at every turn, if continuous enchanting is required, even if Wang Dong has a four-star mental attribute to support him, he may not be able to withstand it...

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu really felt melancholy.

However, he has no plans to completely cancel the arrangement of enchanted weapons.

Although the loss of enchantment power caused by iron weapons is too great, it does increase the power.

"Pass my order to the forging department to halve the number of enchanted weapons forged. After completing the forging of this batch of enchanted weapons, all efforts will be made to forge ordinary iron weapons."

He has no intention of completely abandoning enchanted weapons, but judging from this situation, it is no longer realistic to equip all members with them.

He planned to only equip the centaurs and a small number of their elites with enchanted weapons to increase their combat power.

As for the Elf Knights, their silver steel swords are better than this and there is no need for them at all.
