In a few days, the alchemy room and the blacksmith shop have changed a lot, the number of people has increased, the area has also increased, and everyone is busy.

In fact, there is a long way between the two, and everyone in the alchemy room strictly enforces the new rules, wearing standard white clothing, similar to a white coat, and wearing a hat, in order to avoid accidents where hair falls into the experimental materials. The apprentices were divided into groups with different processes, which could prevent leaks to a certain extent.

No one is allowed to enter or leave with them, they must be checked, especially fire, iron, etc., which can easily cause explosions, and even Master Thomas is not allowed to bring pipes into the alchemy room.

Bai Xuan had already asked the master to announce that the salaries of all alchemists and apprentices were more than double that of Wang Du, and the blacksmith shop also referred to this salary level, and at the same time was required to fully manage according to the operation of the laboratory and the factory, and the initial results had been seen in a few days.

He originally wanted to go into the alchemy room to have a look, but he couldn't get in, and the apprentice who guarded the door was not too much to describe it as a disobedience to his six relatives.

"Hello Your Highness. ”

"Your Highness, you can't go in. ”

"Your Highness, this is a rule that has been specified according to your proposal, and you cannot take the lead in breaking it. ”

"Your Highness, let's go to the arena and have a look, it's very lively. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, you go slowly. ”

Bai Xuan had no choice but to retreat.

No matter how tightly the technical protection is, sooner or later it will be imitated by others, and it is impossible not to divulge a little bit at all, but you can control this time and extend it as much as possible.

In addition to heavy lethal weapons, firearms are still used against ordinary soldiers and low-level samurai, and if they really deal with Templars and above, I am afraid that they will be greatly discounted, and eventually they will return to the competition of individual force.

Bai Xuan has already prepared this kind of plan, but in any case, thermal weapons will bring about huge military changes, which is something that must be done, and it is also one of his dependences.

The situation in the blacksmith shop was much better, at least Bai Xuan could get in, mainly because when he had passed, Master Thomas and Filip were arguing at the door about the issue of the magic machine.

When he saw Bai Xuan, he asked him to participate in the discussion, so naturally he got involved, and it was impossible to change someone else.

"Your Highness, I think the magic energy machinery should save mana, otherwise the mana supply alone will bankrupt us. Master Thomas said.

"But isn't it natural that the best products are produced with the best products?"

This problem is actually very simple, it can't be a compromise with each other, the pursuit of the most cost-effective result, if you insist on saying which side is right, there is no result in the debate.

Bai Xuan asked the two to come up with specific data, and then slowly analyzed, and finally found a balance.

It seems that the production of machinery is not a problem, it is enough to meet the current forging requirements, and the various machine tools needed in the later stage can only be studied slowly, Bai Xuan is also a layman, he can only rely on Filip, he has some ideas at most.

Maybe you can rely on the computing power of a certain machine to help.

The forging blast furnace that he was most worried about was unexpected, and the dwarves had already overcome this problem, using high-quality black pine charcoal from the vicinity of the Black Curse Forest, coupled with a unique blast furnace structure and blower, it could easily reach the temperature of melting steel, and purification was not a problem.

The production efficiency of the grenade shell can also be improved a lot after the use of the mold, which is not difficult.

The final assembly is in another underground warehouse, tightly defended, carried out by the recruited maids in groups, streamlined operations, they in addition to the prescribed steps for safe production, the rest do not understand at all, do not need to understand, only need to ensure the quality of it, so far the completion of the effect is very good.

Bai Xuan couldn't say whether it was good or bad for this factory to be placed underground, for the time being, it could only be like this for the time being, as long as the regulations on safe production were strictly abided, the chance of danger was still very small.

The result of the inspection is that the progress is faster than Bai Xuan expected, and now even the servants know that the owner of the castle is the prince of Chalk, and Ember City is about to become the prince's territory, so this is equivalent to completing the ideological unification, anyway, they are all the subjects of His Highness, and the actions are naturally unified, especially after the unified adjustment of salary, they are more motivated.

"What is the production of weapons for orcs and elves?" Bai Xuan suddenly thought of the situation of the two friendly countries, and he could just ask the two of them.

"The weapons and equipment of the elves mainly come from the forest, most of them are long-range weapons, bows and spears, and melee weapons are mainly long swords and short swords. "Although the elves produce less iron, the level of forging is not low, and they are more inclined to fine manufacturing than mass production. ”

Bai Xuan nodded, these are not secrets, the elves have low fertility, the population is sparse, and the large-scale production is only food, and everything else is won by quality, not quantity.

This is also because the location of the Polar Oasis is remote and remote, the environment is complex, it is a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack place, the human kingdom is basically inaccessible, and the orc kingdom is even more impossible to attack the elves due to its own reasons, and most of the time it maintains friendly contacts with the elves.

But neither are they allies.

Relying on long-range attacks and travelogue tactics to keep the enemy out of the oasis is the core strategic policy of the elves. The downside is that if the enemy penetrates the inside of the oasis, it is basically over.

"Orcs are actually in a similar situation to the human kingdom, Your Highness. "But the blacksmith shops and workshops with a relatively high level of forging are all in the places where the big tribes gather, that is, in the main city of the orcs. The manufacturing level of other tribes is uneven, and their own development is very different. ”

"Tribes can solve this problem through trade, right?"

"This is one of the main means. The orc empire was unified after the continental war, but the tribes still could not work closely together, and the orcs could only be united in a matter of life and death. ”

There are large and small tribes, as many as dozens, and each tribe is a small kingdom, with different beliefs and rules, and it is difficult to break the inherent habits formed over countless years.

This is different from humans, although humans divide their territories, with the kingdom as the main body, and the lords divide the territories, but at least most things are unified, and the commercial trade is highly developed, and the manufacturing industry is developing extremely fast, so it can be said that it is much ahead of the orcs and elves in the form of the kingdom.

The unity of the orcs may only be regarded as the unity of the situation.

Bai Xuan thought with his back to his back and walked forward slowly.

"Roar!"

"Ho!"

There was a roar from the front.
