Chapter 0163 Wind Forging Machine

Not all adventurers in the Northland are rich. There are also many people who are not at a good level, who are extremely poor, and who are destitute. These people can only steal chickens and dogs, run amok in lawlessness, become bandits and thieves, or block the road.

Harmony Village operates externally, and the flow of people has increased suddenly, and it is impossible to screen outsiders one by one. The village soon became smoky and shambled. Zhou Qingfeng was forced to have the power of constant law, that is, when he maintained order, he encountered strong resistance.

Later, the task of maintaining law and order in the village was left to Kelly. The halfling girl is powerful, carrying a whip and whipping people everywhere. But forcible suppression could not solve the problem, and Inisha decided to follow Zhou Qingfeng's ideas and recruit some adventurers for her own use.

Only by solving the employment problem can society be stable. This is the summing up of the experience of the Turkish Communist Party in the development of several decades.

Powell, who was wearing gray armor, pointed to the recruitment notice on the notice board and whispered: "Isn't it written that the village needs blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons." ”

Fabro was shocked, "Your Excellency Powell, are you going to do the work of a pariah?" ”

Powell didn't care, but the man on the other side called Robin answered, "I can go and work as a blacksmith, and I should be able to get in touch with more people in this village and understand what they want to do." ”

Powell nodded and smiled, and he pointed to the next column of the recruitment posting, "This place also recruits people to clear the woods around the village and hunt down goblins and gnolls near the road." Logging, mining, and even the work of a shoemaker, a sewer. ”

Fabro immediately shook his head, "I'm sorry, I've been here, Victor. It is likely that Hugo knew who I was. I also have a lot of work in the plaster village, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the village for a long time. ”

Both Powell and Robin nodded unimpressed. When the two saw Fabro leave, they looked at each other with a wry smile and applied for their respective positions. There is a recruitment office in the tavern behind them, which is responsible for the allocation of human resources.

In the corner of the tavern, a desk hung with a large banner. With two conspicuous letters 'HR' drawn on the faΓ§ade, the old profiteer Rubio is sitting listlessly behind a table, watching the adventurers in the tavern drink and brag, bored to the point of yawning.

Robin was stout and stepped forward first and asked, "I heard that you are recruiting blacksmiths here?" ”

"yes." The old profiteer has a vicious eye, but he deliberately looks like he hasn't woken up. He looked at the person in front of him, "We implement piecework wages, and at the same time provide different benefits according to the ability to work. ”

Robin didn't pay much attention to the treatment, and nodded his head to indicate that he wanted to get a job as a blacksmith. The old profiteer grabbed an identity card, wrote his name and position, and handed it out, and specially told the other party, 'Don't lose the identity card, otherwise you will be punished.' ’

It's so easy to recruit, but Robin doesn't take the old profiteer's reminder seriously. It seemed to him that the old man with the whiskers and the hateful face in front of him might have been a small foreman, or a relative of one of the village chiefs, who had been sent to guard the mess.

According to the usual perception, such lethargic untouchables are not a minority. Most of them are straw bales, living a mediocre life, and they can be found in every corner of the village and city.

After receiving the identity card, Robin nodded slightly to Powell behind him, and went to the forge in the village to take up his post. He knew very well that a good blacksmith was extremely valuable in any place, and as long as he showed a few skills, he should be able to be valued.

If the woman named Inissa was in the village, Robin believed that he would be able to find her in a few days. When he came to the forge, he was full of confidence. But when he arrived......

The furnace is full of flames, and the gushing air circulates in the heat storage chamber, still hot as it rushes out of the chimney. A terracotta pipe draws water to cool the chimney and provide hot water for the villagers.

The design and scale of this iron-melting furnace alone stopped Robin. He looked up at the chimney, which was seven or eight meters high, and after a simple assessment, he felt that it did not look like a remote and ordinary village at all.

"Hey...... new kid." A rough dwarf came out of the forge and beckoned and shouted, "Come here, come here, I'll arrange a job for you." ”

Walk through the iron-melting furnace and enter the forging yard. The molten iron comes out of the furnace mouth and is led into the mould crucibles to form strip iron, which soon enters the next step of the forging process.

According to Robin's expectations, it would be remarkable to have one or two blacksmiths and a dozen apprentices in this broken village. But this village, deep in the Black Forest, has a forge where hundreds of people work.

The Black Forest provides abundant and cheap fuel, and the ore in the village of Iron Furnace is also abundant, which facilitates the production of forging.

"Give me an anvil and a hammer, and I can build anything you want." Robin looked at several blacksmith apprentices who were hammering and said confidently, "I'm a very good blacksmith. ”

The dwarf in the forge squeezed Robin's arm and nodded in approval. But he shook his head again and said, "You don't need to do what an apprentice does. Our forging here is also different from other places, it doesn't require a lot of skill, but it requires a bit of patience. ”

"Patience?" Robin smiled again, "My patience is also good. ”

The dwarf shook his head and continued to lead Robin towards the forge of the forge. He soon saw a huge forging machine at work, the hammer moving up and down, striking the strip of iron on the anvil.

This forging machine is bigger than Robin could have imagined. What shocked him even more was that the forging machine did not rely on human or animal power. The moving hammer seemed to be moving on its own, and the forging force was still quite large, and every impact made a deafening sound, and the chest and lungs were trembling.

"It's ......" Robin's mind was buzzing, but he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. He worked as a blacksmith for many years before becoming famous, and he did have a superb craft of blacksmithing. But he'd never seen anything like it before.

"When did you dwarves make such a terrible thing?"

The dwarf shook his head, "No, we didn't make it. Every blacksmith who comes here is scared by this thing, and we dwarves are no exception. This is a wind-powered forging machine that uses the never-ending cold winds of the Black Forest to drive the hammer. This thing is very powerful! ”

It is indeed very strong, the forging hammer is at least fifty kilograms, and it is pulled up to a height of one meter and falls, far exceeding the strength of normal humans. Robin couldn't even exert such a strong force even if he applied the 'Brute Bull Power'. I'm afraid that it takes a giant to be able to compete with it.

"Whose idea was that?"

"It's the lord of the locals, our president, Victor. Mistress Hugo's thoughts. He hired a group of human blacksmiths from the village of Ironforge in the Black Forest to build it modeled after the windmills of the Elven Forge.

The forged bars of iron will receive excellent quality improvements, which will then be handed over to the apprentices in the forge to further build and produce high-quality tools and weapons. ”

"The lord here actually knows how to forge it?"

"Probably."

The dwarf led Robin to the inside of the forge and could see a ten-meter-tall windmill spinning on the roof. The size of the windmill is not large, but the advantage is that the power is uniform and almost never stops.

According to the dwarves, only one forging machine is now installed in the forge yard. The machine is still very rough, and from time to time there are problems that need to be repaired and adjusted. In order for this thing to work, a dozen human and dwarven craftsmen had to watch over it day and night, and they had to be patient.

Because no one has used this thing before, and everyone has no experience. His Excellency the Chairman even left it alone, and only said that he could build a reliable windmill and a wind-powered forging machine, and he would give a bonus to make everyone happy.

"Don't look at the strength of this forging machine, but because of the strength, it is too easy to break. It has to stop every hour or two to get it serviced, or it will break itself up. ”

The dwarf kept complaining, but his tone was full of pride. Because as long as the forging machine works for an hour, its forging capacity exceeds that of a hundred skilled blacksmiths. The tough iron is as soft as dough in front of it, saving a lot of effort.

Most of the more than 100 apprentices in the forge were not blacksmiths. They are responsible for further forging and finishing the iron processed by the forging machine, and the production efficiency is very high.

As the so-called 'vigorously produces miracles', the forging hammer of the wind forging machine easily solves many problems such as loose porousness, deformation and oxidation in the iron. This is a problem that no skilled blacksmith can solve.

Robin casually picked up a forged steel knife semi-finished product, and with a flick of it, he could feel that the blade was fine and had a fine texture. Even in a few southern cities where the forging industry is developed, this is a superior product.

In an instant, Robin changed his mind - I want to master the secret of this forging machine, and I can't let the evil Victor. Hugo blocked this incredible technique. Be sure to steal it out.

It's going to make a lot of money.
