Compound metal, in fact, has always been the biggest secret of the dwarves, and the dwarves also change the properties of the metal through temperature control.

This is the secret of the dwarf kingdom, but these secrets are on Luo Heng's side, and they do not exist.

The same steel, with different proportions, may be die steel, may be marine steel, may also be stainless steel and so on.

Luo Heng is talking about the simplest steel today, the main thing is hardness, and making screws is the first step.

It is also the simplest, the tool table, the tool table is very simple, but this is built by Luo Heng himself.

Accuracy is not lifted all at once, but it has to keep moving forward, moving forward, and pulling it to the micron level all at once, is it possible?

Winter is coming, but the cave is bustling with activity, and the gnomes do have a talent for finishing.

After several months of hard work, the first lathe was assembled, not for the first time, of course, but for the first time to qualify.

The gnomes have been divided, divided into more than a dozen small classifications, and there are so many categories of machining that it is impossible to list them one by one.

The steam-driven lathe is driven by two steam engines, and the steam pressure is always within a defined threshold.

The power of a steam is not as smooth as the two, and the powerful steam power drives a piece of fine iron on the chuck.

Traces of iron filings were taken out by the car.

Luo Heng personally controlled, changed the knife head, and then continued.

Ball!

This is the first time that all gnomes have seen that they can make balls outside of casting.

"I'll collect this!" Luo Heng said.

Machine tools, grinding machines, milling machines, etc.

Then slowly began to upgrade, and when the new year came, the dwarf could already use a large piece of fine iron to process some complex curved surfaces.

The R&D center inside the mountain, only a dozen meters away from the nearest exit, is a valley, belongs to the snow-capped mountains, below is the thick snow, and in summer there is a lake.

Due to its proximity to the sea, the snow here is thick and there are orc guards.

"Your Majesty!" These orc guards, when they saw Luo Heng, immediately saluted.

"Hmm!" Luo Heng didn't let these guards not salute because he came every day, because for orcs, they had to learn the rules.

Luo Heng flew up in a flash, and then returned to the castle, it was too time-consuming to walk through the passage.

"Cheney, take a shower, eat. Alicia saw Luo Heng come back and spoke.

Although Luo Heng is studying, he still has to eat at home, anyway, it is not far, a week here, a week on the duke's side, and at night, perfectly avoiding some relatives.

After eating, Alicia said, "This is the total data here this year, you see." ”

"Well, is that peat still mined?" Luo Heng asked.

"Yes, those orcs dig holes directly, and I'm afraid something will happen. Alicia spoke.

"Don't dig holes, let's suspend acquisitions. Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, there is methane under the peat, and that thing is poisoned.

"Well, we've added more than 100,000 people to our side. Alicia spoke.

"It's okay, after the mine is built, it will need at least hundreds of thousands of people to live. Luo Heng said.

How many people can be fed by a large-scale mining, transportation, washing, smelting, and processing enterprise?

This is an astronomical amount.

"Well, our orcs are not suitable for growing food, otherwise we wouldn't have to spend so much gold to buy food. Alicia spoke.

Luo Heng opened his mouth and said: "Alicia, you don't think this right, do you know why the Orc Empire is like this, it's because you ......." ”

Luo Heng popularized the relationship between trade to Alicia, not just a matter of purchase.

Alicia pursed her lips and said, "I know, it's just a little unwilling." ”

"You still have to worry about the priest apprentice of the temple, where is the trial?" Luo Heng asked.

"I don't know, it's definitely not going to work on the side of the Holy Mountain. Alicia spoke.

Luo Heng nodded and asked, "Why don't you go to the barbarians' side, the barbarians have been a little wrong recently, and they have crossed the territory several times." ”

"But the barbarians are not low in combat. Alicia spoke.

"After the Chinese New Year, let's solve it first, I guess someone is behind it. Luo Heng said.

"Why don't we also establish a priesthood college?" Alicia began.

"Yes, I know an ancient text, full of art. Luo Heng's eyes lit up, this was an opportunity to promote square words.

"Is it difficult?" asked Alicia.

"Haha, this is the text of the legendary god, is it difficult for you to say!" Luo Heng said.

The exam of square words has the lowest pass rate.

A person who has graduated from elementary school can understand what others are saying, but new words are added to English every year, and it is no problem to look confused for a long time.

"Come, I'll write you your name. Luo Heng wrote out the words Alicia in square characters.

"It feels ....... Alicia spoke.

"There are several forms. Luo Heng wrote several forms.

"Wow, that's beautiful, I think it's easy!" Alicia began.

Luo Heng smiled and gave the quill to Alicia, who took the quill and said nothing.

"I think this should be one of the necessary skills of a priest, and as long as he learns the sacred language for three or five years, then the person can read many, many literary works. Luo Heng said.

"Is it true?" Alicia asked.

"Yes. Luo Heng is now worried about whether he can learn square words in terms of the IQ of orcs.

After eating, Luo Heng looked at the account book, and wanted to give benefits to the orcs here, especially the loyal orcs, gold coins, silver coins, and other jerky, cloth, hats, boots, bows and arrows, etc.

Adults, children, women.

There are nearly 200,000 people who need to be distributed, Luo Heng looked at the huge expenditure, and then signed.

Alicia was very aware of this.

Why?

Because there's another Nicole over there.

Nicole's side has a relatively small number of people who receive benefits, and now there are less than 10,000 people.

But the profits created by these 10,000 people are very large.

More than 100 giant tribes, last year a total of 110,000 livestock of various kinds, the giants hunted those carnivores, and then left the herbivores.

The whole grazing area is in the alpine area of 900 kilometers long and about 200 kilometers wide, and the livestock are eliminated by the system, males, females, and the rest are sold, and now there are nearly 200,000 heads in the entire herd, most of which are young cubs.

The animals were inhabited in caves, which were stocked with forage and stuff.

There is also water in the cave, which is specially built.

Walking under the valleys, for individuals, 900 kilometers of mountainous areas, I am afraid it takes many days, but for giants, it is only two days, and there are flying knights in the sky.

Golden eagles, griffins, wurms, so livestock are rarely attacked.

"Are you ready over there?" asked Nicole.

Luo Heng's return to Nicole's side today is also a New Year's benefit.

"Almost, why are you asking this?" Luo Heng asked.

"Shirley asked, she must have wanted to know what the people were doing?" said Nicole.

Although Nicole is a dwarf among humans, but now Nicole is a mid-level magician, and she also has an identity, that is, the head of the dukedom.

Those human chamber of commerce gifts are all very high-grade, because here is Nicole's final say, your goods worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, once there is a problem, whether to pull away, or talk about the price, these are two situations, the first is bankrupt, the second, that is, a small loss, or less money.

Nicole has to sign, this kind of signature system, Luo Heng is very proficient, from the entry of goods, acceptance, warehousing, transportation, and then transportation to the orc empire, whether it is here into the warehouse, that side out of the warehouse, and in the middle, it must be signed.

If any one does not sign, the goods will not pass.

Among them, the most powerful is Nicole, and Nicole has received gifts of more than 100,000 gold coins.

Of course, you need to return the favor.

"Oh, just teach some blacksmithing techniques. Luo Heng felt a little embarrassed in his heart, these dwarfs are here, so they definitely don't want to go back.

The dwarf kingdom can't give this kind of treatment, of course, maybe some of them will go back.

As for patriotism, there was no war in the dwarf kingdom.

The dwarf kingdom didn't dare to offend Luo Heng, this was not to say that Luo Heng was bragging.

Of course, Luo Heng will definitely make follow-up compensation, and if there are thousands of dwarfs on the side of the mine, then the dwarf kingdom will not be able to get a lot of benefits.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is also looking forward to the distribution of benefits, Luo Heng just signed, and Nicole also has a lot of = assistants around her, but the decision-making power is in Nicole's hands, and Luo Heng also needs to sign.

There are a lot of systems in Luo Heng's mind, choose the most suitable one, otherwise the exchange of tens of millions of gold coins a year, once there is a loophole, it will be a lot of fun.

Of course, there are some artificial loopholes, which are convenient for these artificial people to do things.

The next day, the benefits were distributed in advance, and Luo Heng also came forward.

Looking at the freedfolk in their territory, there are orcs, giants, half-elves, humans, dwarves, dwarves, almost all the races of the world.

In the evening, Luo Heng put some henchmen on Alicia's side, and then there were henchmen on the Dukedom's side.

When I arrived at the test base, the steam engine in the cave made a popping sound, which was the pressure relief valve.

"I'm going to take you today to see how a weapon is made, and we work on the most difficult spear to build. Luo Heng said.

"Let's start~" Luo Heng shouted.

The two gnomes immediately waved the flag in their hands, and a thick iron rod was placed in the furnace, and when the iron rod was burned to a certain temperature.

Knock knock knock!

The huge hammer slammed rapidly, and the iron rod kept turning.

Two hours later, a spear appeared.

"Angus, you come and try it!" Luo Heng said.
