Lu Chen looked at the street, Niu Blacksmith and Aunt Sun didn't come for a long time, he looked a little disappointed, he didn't expect such a "superb" acting skills to not make Niu Blacksmith believe.

Just as he was about to go back to the barracks.

Ah Yu broke in, hid outside the side door of the mansion and shouted: "Lord, they are here, they agreed!" ”

Lu Chen stumbled, and he looked at the ox blacksmith and Aunt Sun who were coming slowly.

With a smile on his face, he went up to greet him and shouted, "Uncle Niu and Aunt Sun, why are you two here, are you here to help?" ”

The blacksmith coughed twice, and then said, "No, boy, I have come to leave. ”

“......”

Lu Chen pulled down his face, so black that he couldn't believe it, if it weren't for Aunt Sun explaining: "Xiaochen, don't listen to his nonsense, we are here to help you build armor weapons, I heard that the city is in trouble, we can help, how can we resign." ”

If it weren't for Aunt Sun's explanation, Lu Chen might have taken out the Mixed Yuan Overlord Halberd and broken Niu Blacksmith's legs, seeing if you still resigned, you would have broken your leg and let you quit for a try.

"This, thank you Aunt Sun."

Lu Chen thanked him.

He glanced at the blacksmith Niu and thanked him as well: "Thank you Uncle Niu for your help!" ”

The bull blacksmith glanced at it with disdain, and said slowly: "Boy, remember to find a few more actors next time, your expression is in place, but the lines are not enough, next time you can ask Yu Lao Tian more, his acting skills are good." ”

"......" Lu Chen was speechless.

"Uncle Xie Niu instructs."

The two of them left the mansion with Lu Chen and went to the equipment manufacturing department, Ah Yu, who was hiding at the side door of the mansion, had already covered his mouth and laughed wildly, if Ah Yu hadn't gone back to persuade him again, Niu Blacksmith would have really run away directly.

Lu Chen's acting skills are so bad that even Ah Yu can't stand it, he saw Blacksmith Niu and Aunt Sun go to the equipment manufacturing department, he immediately returned to the barracks, I don't know how long it will be before the time of sending troops, they must practice as soon as possible.

The heavy door of the equipment manufacturing department opened, and Lu Chen brought Niu Blacksmith and Sun Damiang to enter, although he had heard of the manufacturing department, but he had never been here, even Su Xiaomo had not come in here, except for the members of the equipment department, only Lu Chen had entered.

Niu Blacksmith and Aunt Sun were a little surprised when they saw the heavy door in front of them, and walked in to look at the spacious interior, a large number of members with a clear division of labor, and a steady stream of iron transportation, this is an absolute equipment manufacturing and production base.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, how is it here?" Better equipped than your blacksmith's shop. ”

"Boy, that's good, but I'll make up my mind first, I'm just helping with research and assisting in forging, and when the war is over, I have to go back, and my blacksmith's shop is ten million times more expensive than this." The bull blacksmith said with a glance at his mouth.

Lu Chen spread his hands.

As long as you build the equipment for the trapped camp, I'm afraid I won't find a few high-level talents, jokes, you are free, I will eat melons, hehe.

Enter the Equipment Research Department.

The talents inside have already moved out of the way, giving up their seats to the two senior talents, Lu Chen took out Gao Shun's trap equipment model drawing, the model drawing is just an appearance, there are no details, and there is no description of even the splicing items, it is just an idea.

"This is the equipment needed to trap the camp, please take a look!"

Niu blacksmith took the model diagram of the heavy pu knife, looked at it for a long time, frowned slightly, the heavy pu knife on it belonged to a long handle, a sharp knife, and it looked very thick, and the weight was probably not lighter than an ordinary heavy halberd.

He then took the model of the bronze shield, which was half-barrel-shaped, half a man's height up and down, and a pure shield made of all-iron, with dense and huge drums on the outside.

If you hit the enemy's wooden shield with a bronze shield, you may be smashed by the copper shield, and even the enemy will be killed by the impact of the shield.

Again, the power that needs to be held is quite enormous.

It is no wonder that when Gao Shun chose his soldiers, he picked them for three days, and dug a lot of corners in the two armies, so that he finally managed to get together enough 800 people.

Lu Chen saw that the blacksmith Niu frowned, and his heart suddenly tightened, if it was really no fun, he would really be cold now.

He turned his head to look at Aunt Sun.

She looked at the trap armor in her hand, but nodded lightly, the front and back of the trap armor are inlaid in the center by two copper mirror-like copper plates, the armor is centered on the copper plate, and begins to be inlaid in all directions, until the front and back armor are sewn together, because the trap armor belongs to the leather inlay, the defense power is also instantly increased, but the weight is far more than the Jiaolong black armor.

Aunt Sun said: "There is no problem with the trap armor, however, the manufacturing process is very complicated, it is recommended that the city lord can recruit twice as many craftsmen, otherwise once the construction starts, the manufacturing speed is far inferior, except for the craftsmen who make the sword and shield, the maximum number of trap armor is only thirty pieces a day, if it can be doubled, it can be manufactured at a rate of one hundred pieces a day." ”

Lu Chen instantly responded: "Xiaochen will arrange it immediately." ”

He felt a little relieved in his heart, turned his head to look at the blacksmith Niu, and asked, "Uncle Niu, are these two things secure?" ”

The blacksmith scorned the corners of his lips and pondered for a moment.

Then I heard him say: "There is no problem with the drawings, but the construction is a bit complicated, and the iron ore that needs to be consumed is also huge, I am just worried about your iron ore ......"

Lu Chen immediately interrupted him and shouted: "No problem, I will gather another 50,000 miners to mine, and I will hand it over to Uncle Niu and Aunt Sun here, and the resources and personnel problems will be dealt with." ”

When he heard that there was no problem with the drawings, his heart had already floated, and he sent the words of the blacksmith to the bull, and he explained to the cubs of the research department, and after learning from the two "seniors", he immediately went out, and Tian Zhongzeng sent the miners to the mud and stone tun; Then recruit blacksmiths and tailors into the equipment manufacturing department.

A large number of talent recruitment, making Tian Zhong miserable, followed by the consumption of copper coins, 50,000 miners, 30,000 blacksmiths and tailors A total of 80,000 talents were requisitioned, and even the logistics equipment was instantly raised, and Lu Chen took out 100 million copper coins at once, which made Lu Chen instantly realize that the copper coins were rapidly decreasing.

And at this time.

Su Xiaomo didn't know where she heard the slander, a man must pay his salary every month, otherwise he will be easy to cheat or something, such words, except for her big-breasted cousin, Lu Chen really can't imagine a second person.

Paying over three thousand taels of gold was not enough, Su Xiaomo snatched his package, took out another seven thousand taels of gold, and made up ten thousand taels of gold, and then she returned to the hospital with a smile.

Lu Chen was so distressed in his heart, fortunately it was his daughter-in-law, if someone else took his own money, it would be good if he didn't break his limbs.

Looking at the copper coins that were less than 100 million left, I wondered where the money was spent, the construction of new towns, the upgrading of towns, the cost of conscription, training and food, and raising war horses...... Wait, the miscellaneous and scattered are already about to suck up Lu Chen's money bag.

Half a month has passed.

In addition to going to the barracks for training during the day, Lu Chen returned to the equipment manufacturing department at night to investigate, and occasionally had to go to the farms outside the city to inspect the fields.

After three days of sleepless work, Niu Blacksmith and Sun Damiang, together with all the intermediate talents in the research department, finally drew the sample drawings of the three armaments.

The next day, they continued to refine and finally finished drawing at night.

On the third day, the drawings were distributed, and began to be built one by one, after countless failures, the ox blacksmith personally went to the field to teach, and finally created the first copper-shaped shield on the fourth day, Gao Shun went to inspect the goods, saw the finished product, and expressed great satisfaction, but there were still some flaws, and the collar of the handshake was not fine enough.

On the fifth day, after the ox blacksmith personally taught the continuous improvement, the first complete finished product appeared.

At the same time, the copper-shaped shield began to be mass-produced.

At the same time as the mass production of the copper-shaped shield, the Chongpu knife finally ushered in the first finished product after countless failures.

Under the personal supervision of Sun Damiang, the inlay procedure was on the right track, and the finished product was completed two days before the copper-shaped shield.

The armament problem of the trapped camp has finally fallen.

Meantime.

A small batch of locusts appeared again on the ridges of the farmers, which made Lu Chen a little distressed, and now it is no longer the small area planting before, facing scattered farmland, in addition to captive field frogs, Lu Chen has arranged for the guards and village warriors to start catching locusts, and also issued a locust recovery task to the adventure players in the city.

The locust cuisine is officially on the recipe of Starfall City.

The effect improved, but the 60 million copper coins invested still could not be recovered, and the sales of locust dishes were not good for the time being, which made Lu Chen's first investment completely lose money.

The money he made next was not as good as Su Xiaomo's income in the medical hall, which made Lu Chen almost collapse, and then Su Xiaomo bought Tian Zhong's son-in-law's restaurant.

re-expanded and renovated, and then hung up the name of "Lujia Restaurant", and I don't know where she introduced the apricot blossom wine, and the business skyrocketed all of a sudden, which made Lu Chen even more desperate.

"Wife, the restaurant business is good, push out those bags of locusts and sell them!"

"The wine is good, it's best to eat with locusts, wife, do you want a few tons of locusts!"

"Wife, the locusts have been piled up in three warehouses, please wife, save the warehouse! Woooooooo ”

"......" Su Xiaomo was very helpless when she saw the poor Lu Chen, it is not unreasonable that locusts are not easy to sell, NPCs don't eat them, and adventurous players dislike them, which makes her go to make a locust cuisine, wouldn't it be a loss of the name of Lujia Restaurant.

"Okay, I'll get a barbecue greenhouse, but you have to find it yourself, the clerk, I'm just opening a barbecue greenhouse, whether or not the business can be booming depends on luck."

Lu Chen smiled instantly, Su Xiaomo's business talent was not weaker than her father's, since she agreed, she would naturally be able to get some money back.

"Yes, thank you, wife!"

The next day.

The barbecue greenhouse was built on the open grassland outside the city, and ten barbecue adventure players were recruited, as for the NPC apprentices, there were also fifty, and they were learning to skewer beef, mutton, pork, locusts... Meat...., clean the locusts, ready to be stir-fried for adventurers.

Su Xiaomo didn't know where to get the spirits, and there were some ordinary wines, but there was no apricot blossom wine, Su Xiaomo said, barbecue should be gulp dry, or hot and refreshing, apricot blossom wine is too soft, not suitable for barbecue stalls.

Nighttime.

Start a loss-making business, eat for free, drink for free.

Continued the next day.

On the third day, I lost money again.

However, the popularity gradually rose, not only did there be many adventurers, but even NPCs began to patronize the business, and the entire star fell outside the city, and the candles were always bright.

The fourth day arrives and the income begins.

The business has not declined, and there is an upward trend, and the barbecue greenhouse has increased from less than 100 employees to 300 in an instant.

The area has also tripled.

Lu Chen endured the previous blood loss and suppressed it for three days, and finally saw the barbecue greenhouse on fire, his heart was full of relief, and he secretly said in his heart: I can finally sell the locusts.
