"Deal!"

"No! Slow down and don't be impulsive!"

Duke hurriedly spoke out to stop the impending deal between Joseph and Anvil, and the two of them dared to ask for one and sell the other.

While the price of three guns for one gold coin wasn't too expensive for this new powerful weapon, Duke knew it wasn't the most affordable price.

And even for a skilled dwarven craftsman like Anvil, who is also a dwarven patriarch, it takes a lot of time to build a new musket.

If a thousand guns are really going to be made at once, it is estimated that the entire dwarven tribe will not have any other activities in the next month, and they will all nest in the blacksmith shop to make guns.

However, he still has a bunch of things and ideas waiting for the dwarves to help him realize, how can he waste so many talents with strong scientific research strength to become blacksmiths, this kind of thing that he desperately wants to avoid.

"I said you should stop and make a decision so quickly. ”

Duke looked at the two of them who looked at him suspiciously, and said the plan he had already prepared: "I found that the only places where this new weapon needs to be used by dwarves are magic triggers and anvils, and other places such as gun barrels and ** can be outsourced and done by human craftsmen, right?"

"It should be possible, there is also a lot of merit in human forging technology, although the quality of their seamless steel pipes is not good, but it is enough to make this kind of weapon. Anvil groaned for a moment before he spoke, though he was somewhat suspicious of human techniques, and the quality of the finished product was hardly satisfactory by dwarven standards.

"That's fine, my idea is this, the dwarves do the manufacturing of the precision and advanced parts, and then the human craftsmen separate the *** tube and butt parts, and the final assembly work. "Duke actually wants to talk about the assembly line model of division of labor.

Nowadays, even the most technologically advanced dwarves value their personal craftsmanship and rarely adopt the mode of assembly operation to mass produce a certain product.

As for human beings, it is even more unbearable, until now it is still a small workshop model, if the purchase is not the same workshop of standard equipment, there is no possibility of parts exchange, efficiency and reuse rate are very low.

Anvil quickly understood what Duke meant, his eyes lit up, he patted his head and said with a smile: "Indeed, how can I not have this, so that the cost can be reduced to a lower level, and the efficiency will be increased many times!"

Joseph didn't take the time to figure out what the operation mode between Duke and Anvil was talking about, but as soon as he heard that it could reduce the cost and greatly improve production efficiency, he immediately rubbed his hands and asked the anvil to arrange it quickly.

Duke shook his head, and handed Vlavic the document he had prepared to merge Anvil's Dwarf Workshop with Old Neil's Northland Steelworks, and told them to settle the matter.

Then he strolled over to Lenya, who was still in a trance, and asked with some concern, "Shall we talk?"

Seeing that it was the lord who asked her, Lenia finally came to her senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, and acquiesced to the lord's request.

Duke untied the reins of his horse from a stump standing not far away, turned on his horse and walked side by side with Lenia, driving the horse slowly in the direction of the schoolyard.

"Something doesn't seem right with you, can you tell me?" Duke had noticed a change in her mood, peaking when she decided to test her gun herself, but after the experiment was completed, it didn't relieve her, but made her more sad.

Lenia stroked her long hair and said with some fluttering, "Lord, is the knight going to become an obsolete product?"

Duke looked at her with some surprise, she didn't expect that the experiment just now had such a big impact on her, and she was able to taste this emotion in advance.

The emergence of this kinetic weapon can indeed be said to be a huge factor in ending the era of cold weapons. And the knight class, as the top representative of the cold weapon era, was naturally eliminated by the trend of the times.

Although the rifle made of the anvil is still very simple or even rudimentary, it can already give a glimpse of the future trend and effect.

"Uh......" Duke pondered his words, a little unsure of how to calm Lenya's emotions.

As a powerful knight who has received formal knightly training since he was a child, he has always demanded strict knightly etiquette, and he has a strong sense of identity and belonging to his class.

If the guidance is not good now, what kind of psychological hidden dangers may be caused, which will affect the daily mentality, and if it is serious, it will even make her strength regress.

Halfway through the horse, Duke suddenly had an idea, smiled and said to Lenia: "I think you have to think like this, it is the knights who have completed their historical mission, not been eliminated by the times!"
