Boers asked Wang Pengyu directly how many strong crossbows he had.

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

Titanium steel sword and steel armor mainly increase the battlefield survivability of ninth-level powerhouses, each ninth-level powerhouse is incomparably precious, and it is basically impossible to directly rush into the opponent's army in hand-to-hand combat, but to use it as a deterrent force, so since the start of the war, the ninth-level warriors who have fallen in the six city-states are only seven or eight people, and ordinary soldiers have died as many as one million.

The only thing that can really turn the tide of war is a big killing weapon like a strong crossbow, and if a strong crossbow is enough, it is a thorn tree god, and it may not be impossible to shoot on the battlefield.

It's like a mosquito, a mosquito can't help a human, if thousands of mosquitoes prick someone at the same time, and they can't dodge, it's normal to kill a person.

However, the six city-states have a lot of iron metal, which can make iron swords, but no matter how much they research, they can't imitate the strong crossbow.

Wang Pengyu didn't answer Boers directly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know how many strong crossbows you need, Count Boers?" ”

A strong crossbow is not a valuable thing on the earth, but it is not an easy task to break through the dark cave and transport it to the Ten Thousand Beasts Island, even if Wang Pengyu has the heart to help the six city-states defeat the Zerg invasion, it is impossible to supply them with strong crossbows and iron weapons without any conditions.

Especially when the earth is about to catastrophe, the factory will come to a halt, and it is difficult to find alloy steel with relatively high technical content such as titanium steel. Wang Pengyu now has people hoarding a lot of these steels. But even if you can hoard a huge amount of steel. For the small world, it is all stones thrown into the sea, and it is difficult to cause any waves.

One Divine Jiao Empire is equal to the total area of the earth's land and sea, not to mention the entire small world? How much steel can Wang Pengyu transport through the space barrier to get here?

Boers and the others naturally studied how many weapons they needed to buy, then nodded and said, "The weapons that Mr. Wang sold us earlier helped us resist many attacks by the Zerg, but the number was still a little small, and some of them were damaged, so we could only defend passively. Difficult to proactively attack. ”

"We have already discussed, although there are reinforcements from the ninth-level powerhouses of the Blackstone Plains and flying demonic beast warriors, if we want to completely defeat the main force of the Zerg, we still need at least three hundred strong crossbows!"

Wang Pengyu's face also changed slightly when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that their appetite was so big. Previously, they only changed a few dozen strong crossbows in total, but now there are three hundred as soon as they open their mouths, and they really think that strong crossbows are roadside goods?

One strong crossbow weighs more than 200 catties, and eight of them weigh one ton, and three hundred strong crossbows weigh nearly forty tons. It can be compared to the meteorite that Wang Pengyu took great pains to transfer to Pingshan, these goods. Coupled with the weight of the container, Wang Pengyu broke through the barrier and transported it to Ten Thousand Beasts Island, which also required a lot of effort.

He had transported the goods twice before, and Tiandu Chihuo and the others took turns to make two trips, using the high-grade magic weapons he gave to barely break a relatively large crack on the barrier, and also brought a small space ring, and the total materials transported to the Spirit Tree Valley were about one hundred and fifty tons.

These materials, mainly all kinds of thermal weapons, bullets, fuel, etc., are really used to trade titanium steel swords and strong crossbows to the natives of the Xiaoqian World, adding up to only four hundred, and there are only two hundred strong crossbows!

Boers asked for three hundred strong crossbows when he opened his mouth, and Wang Pengyu would not be enough even if he gave them all the strong crossbows.

Qin Qingtian saw that Wang Pengyu's face changed slightly, and he didn't speak, so he couldn't help but feel anxious, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, is it not enough to have a strong crossbow?" ”

Wang Pengyu glanced at everyone, nodded and said with a wry smile: "City Lord Qin, Count Boers, this strong crossbow is not easy to build, and Wang has to have people transport it here from a very far away, the number is naturally not too much, and now the strong crossbow in the Spirit Tree Valley is only more than a hundred points......"

He didn't have anything reserved, the transaction must be negotiated, so he continued: "It's not that Wang is unsympathetic, and it takes a lot of money to make a strong crossbow, and it is not owned by Wang alone, there are still many brothers behind him who need to be fed, so I can't just give it to you." ”

"Three hundred strong crossbows, not a small number, the six city-states can now take so many magic cores to buy strong crossbows?"

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

Qin Qingtian and the others all guessed that Wang Pengyu had great support behind him, maybe there was even the legendary four-armed ancient clan to help, and now Wang Pengyu said it himself, which just proved that their guess was not wrong, and it did not cause any shock!

How could human beings create such an ingenious weapon? Unlike the magician, which needs to be driven by magic, with the elasticity of the weapon itself, it can exert such a powerful power, and I am afraid that only the four-armed Ancients, who are said to be able to craft anything, can do this.

Lei Qianyu thought for a moment and said slowly: "We all know the value of three hundred strong crossbows. Don't hide it from Mr. Wang, if the Zerg hadn't invaded three years ago, we would have been able to buy it reluctantly with the strength of the six cities, but now, we definitely don't have this ability. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "We plan to pay a part of the money first, and after defeating the Zerg, we will resume production, send people to hunt and kill the demonic beasts, 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 number of strong crossbows, I have a thing here, which can kill ordinary insect soldiers on a large scale, and even elite insect soldiers and insect generals have a certain effect, and it will not be too difficult to repel the Zerg army with a strong crossbow strike." ”

The people of the six city-states were all strange when they heard Wang Pengyu say this, one of them had a few centipede-like terrifying scars on his face, and the middle-aged general with his left ear torn couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wang, although those ordinary insect soldiers are not strong, they are small and extremely fast, it is difficult for our warriors to hit them, and the only ones who can kill them in a large area are range spells." ”

"We have also tried to use fire attack, but it is difficult to work, the Zerg have a special fire worm, not only not afraid of flames, but also can spit water foam to extinguish the fire."

He also thought that Wang Pengyu was talking about burning the Zerg with flammable black oil.

Wang Pengyu shook his head: "I have already tested some of the Zerg, and there is no problem in killing them." ”

"In addition to this insecticide, I can also take out a hundred strong crossbows. In addition, when I came here earlier, I saw some women, girls and children working in the mountains, and they only ate gruel and wild vegetables. Wang also has a way to help you solve this problem. ”

"What? Can Mr. Wang solve our food shortage? ”

Qin Qingtian's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Pengyu in disbelief, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

They are now facing two major difficulties, the first is naturally the invasion of the Zerg, and the second is the shortage of food, especially the fall of the Sunset City-State, 100,000 tons of grain were burned, making the food of the six city-states even more scarce.

Even if the battle casualties were heavy, the six city-states combined still have a population of about 8 million today, and it is extremely difficult for these 8 million people to support more than a million soldiers.

The six city-states are vast, comparable to the whole of China, and most of the problems are barren land, coupled with backward productive forces, food has always been insufficient.

They are not like the Zerg, the bark and weeds can be eaten, after more than two years of fighting, many fields are deserted, and the food is not enough, in order to feed the million army, the food of the six city-states has been controlled, and those who do not join the army can only eat two bowls of gruel and a dry cake every day.

Because of this, the city lord of the six city-states thought that the Zerg would retreat after heavy casualties, and specially sent some old and weak soldiers to the Thorn Mountains to die!

It's easy to say that Wang Pengyu has iron weapons, but grain and these things, if you let go of your belly, eating three or five catties of meat and rice grain a day is ordinary, eight million people, you need two catties of meat and millet a day, so it is 16 million catties of grain, and the consumption of a month can reach an astonishing 480 million catties, how can Wang Pengyu have such a huge amount of grain?

People in Wang Pengyu's vicinity felt that Wang Pengyu was really exaggerating, and Lei Qianyu was afraid that Wang Pengyu would not understand the situation of the six city-states, so he pointed out: "Mr. Wang? Do you have so much food? We have six city-states with a population of eight million! ”

Wang Pengyu smiled and said: "Of course I don't have so 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 it for a year and a half, these crops will be multiplied for two or three generations, and it will naturally solve the food problem of the six city-states." ”

He didn't brag casually, the population density of the earth was a hundred times that of the Shenjiao Empire, and in terms of food production, it was by no means comparable to the people of the six city-states, although the grain yield here was low, and in many cases it was caused by demonic beasts.

In the wilderness of the six city-states, there are many demonic beasts, ordinary people can't deal with them at all, even if they plant crops, they may be destroyed by demonic beasts, and they can only work near the city-states, within the control of humans, making many lands unable to be cleared to grow crops.

The crop that reproduces quickly and has a high yield is the sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes, low environmental requirements, reproduction is extremely easy, whether potato vines, or tubers can reproduce offspring, the yield per mu is as high as 4,000 to 8,000 kilograms, especially here, the aura is sufficient, Wang Pengyu estimates that an acre of sweet potatoes can harvest at least 10,000 kilograms of yield.

According to the calculation of harvesting twice 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.

More than 100,000 acres of land can be taken out by any city-state, and the wilderness city-state with the least fields, with a population of one million, each has two or three acres of arable land!

Because it is easy to reproduce and does not need to be taken care of, there is absolutely no problem with planting a large number of sweet potatoes, although eating sweet potatoes at every meal will definitely not taste good, and the nutrition is not balanced, which is better than starving to death.
