Chapter 240: Knights of the Western Continent

The 1,100-meter-long stone wall sounds simple, but in reality, it is equivalent to using up 11,000 cubic meters of stone, thus sweeping away the stone near Mara City, and even 60 families have moved to Shangshi Village, living on the edge of the water village to facilitate daily work. 【Reading.com】

In addition to the stone walls, the heavy wooden doors covered with iron are also a major item to spend money. Considering that it is not convenient to import steel directly from the earth, and Chen Yi has not appeared for a long time, Yu Weichao generously exchanged clothes, scissors and other daily necessities for crude iron with impurities, and then made others temper it himself and make it into a material for the door. Again, this process is easier said than done. In order to forge crude iron, it is necessary to build a blacksmith's furnace, in order to achieve a sufficient furnace temperature, it is necessary to make coke and a blower, and in order to make a blower, it is necessary to improve the method of making leather......

Fortunately, Yu Weichao studied solidly during school time, and if he had any questions, he could at least seek specific answers from the computer he brought over, otherwise the on-the-spot operation attempts, reinvention and creation would be dead. Replication is not so simple, China's cottage business has been carried out for so many years, and it is still only a cottage level, and it has its shape but not its heart, which is also in this.

Yu Weichao will not elaborate on these difficulties in detail, which will show that he is too incompetent. Relative to his position, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "The stock of cash or goods in the city has never exceeded 10,000 shells, which is probably 10 taels of silver in ancient China." ”

It is convenient to communicate with modern people. Chen Yi nodded in understanding, but took out the snail shell from his pocket and said, "The shellfish you are talking about, is it this kind of shellfish?" ”

Yu Weichao is really a person who has seen a lot of money. , exclaimed: "Of course not, this is ...... It's worth 10,000 shells. Chen Yi said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Do you know what material it is made of?" ”

"Gold?" Yu Weichao took it in his hand and turned it upside down, and said, "You don't want to bring it back, do you?" 10,000 shells is a lot of things, at least thousands of dollars, even if this shell weighs half a catty, it is more than tens of thousands of things, not worth it. ”

He still looks down on a business that is several times more profitable.

Chen Yi thought to himself, the theorist who studied literature was really not a pure scientist, and it was useless to study mathematics. He snorted, shook his head and replied, "Not gold. ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Chen Yi said affirmatively: "The specific gravity is different from gold, it must be some rare metal, I will test it after I go back." ”

Although he didn't directly reprimand him, Yu Weichao also felt something, and hurriedly said: "I will also pay attention to this information when I go back." ”

He said with a sneer: "I still think that the organization should not make money." In fact, it is still very important to concentrate materials and build a colonial bridgehead. ”

Yu Weichao quite understood Chen Yi's thoughts, and two or three sentences made him lose his temper.

Chen Yi said helplessly: "Now I just don't have to make a little money." ”

After talking about the snail shell, he talked about the deal of 1,000 swords negotiated yesterday, and said: "I have all the materials with me, and you have to think more about safety." ”

"We trade on ships." Yu Weichao was very thoughtful, and said: "The local shipping is not developed, and I heard that there are monsters in the water, so the ten-ton and twenty-ton ferry, even if it is a big ship, after we trade on the ship, we will go to one side, even if there are people who take advantage of the fire to rob, we don't dare to do it on the ship." ”

"Don't dare?"

"The 10-ton boat is very brittle, those mercenaries with great strength can split the board with an axe, we have enough rockets, and we have enough rockets to sink the cargo as a last resort. Say it......" Yu Weichao paused at this time and continued: "When, can we get some weapons?" ”

Naturally, he said that it was a hot weapon.

Chen Yi groaned and did not reply immediately. He didn't give Yu Wei a super-hot weapon, and to some extent he was guarding against him, but now it seems that the need for this kind of defense is really not great. However, there is another question here, who will master the thermal weapon?

He immediately asked, "How is She Lei doing?" ”

Yu Weichao seemed to have an answer, and said: "Stationed in the water village every day, do your duty." ”

This answer is very interesting, and the stationing in the water village shows that what he does every day is conscientious but not inevitable. How big is the water village, since there is no invasion by outsiders, there is no merit in garrisoning......

"Call him here." Chen Yi raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the river and the mountains not far away. The water village is not yet safe and can be attacked by various characters at any time, and its defense relies on mercenaries......

As a defender of the city, mercenaries are not as useful as village soldiers.

Martial arts academy students are not yet available, can they find allies from the local area? However, the number of their own people is too small, and it is not possible to ensure the loyalty of the villagers. The Western Continent is a continent that does not cultivate land, and there are no farmers who want to get some dependent land, which is really sad.

Yu Weichao is not a real administrative official, and if he manages such a big mess, there will definitely be some mistakes. To be a real official, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, if you make a mistake in the Western Continent, you will lose all your previous efforts, and I am afraid you will have to deserve your life. In this way, he will have to find two deputies after all......

While thinking, She Lei slowly came to Chen Yi.

At the beginning, he really didn't care about anything else because of the magic of the Western Continent, but after so many months, thinking back on the various things on the earth, compared to the ruins and dangers of the Western Continent, it is impossible to say that he did not complain.

Chen Yi was not very old, and he couldn't judge how much resentment She Lei had on the surface, so he just asked floatingly: "What do you think about being in the Western Continent for so long?" ”

If you are a wise man, now is the time to sell your faithfulness, show your faithfulness, and move the Lord with your faithfulness. But She Lei used to be a gangster, and the biggest decision he made was to participate in the martial arts gym and train hard. He couldn't understand why I was relegated to the barren land after I trained hard and made a small mistake.

Therefore, She Leiwu straightened his neck and said, "I don't have an idea, I want to go home." ”

With such a sentence, Chen Yi broke off the idea of letting him lead the team in the Western Continent. In his eyes, leaking his own secrets and revealing the secrets of the martial arts hall is definitely not a small mistake. Especially for women, he is in the mood today, and tomorrow he will be sexually aroused, and he can't always expose himself to great danger. It's just that the so-called punishment of She Lei is not suitable for declaration in the martial arts hall, so in silence, he was only sent to the Western Continent.

But seeing such a situation, Chen Yi quickly made a judgment, and turned to Yu Weichao: "In a short period of time, I can only replenish you with a batch of light weapons, is it useful?" ”

"The pistol is useless, the rifle is about the same." Yu Weichao is also an investigative person, with the initial velocity of the pistol, it is a famous penetrating product like 54, and it is also insufficient deterrent, and it is even more difficult to penetrate the thicker armor.

Chen Yi nodded in understanding and said, "Next time, I'll bring it over to receive it." ”

When it was over, he ignored She Lei and walked towards the water village.

The latter was stunned and looked at Yu Weichao at a loss.

At this time, it was useless to be a party member, Yu Weichao shook his head at him, patted his shoulder, and left.

Ahead, Chen Yi is observing the new watchtowers under construction at the four corners of the water village, the white green bricks of the water, and I feel strong when I look at it. This prismatic watchtower with a modern design has a good shooting range around it. Yu Weichao saw his attention, and hurriedly said: "In the corner towers on the four sides, I think I can't get some heavy weapons." ”

"How?"

"Heavy machine guns? Or anti-aircraft machine guns like that. The cannon is better, but no one can operate it. ”

Chen Yi let out an "oh" and thought: This kind of restricted-level big guy can't be bought in the United States, so he can only go back and try the opportunity.

However, with the penetrating power and muzzle velocity of heavy machine guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, it is true that they can form a huge deterrent in the local area.

The premise is the supply of bullets in huge quantities.

Thinking too much about anything has a headache, Chen Yi simply turned around in the water village.

In addition to the outer fortress, the interior of the water village was built according to the concept of a trade bridgehead. The warehouses are close to the places where people live, the waterways are easy to escape, and tunnels are dug underground for many years...... In the event of an incident, the warehouse is the last point of defense, and everything else can be discarded......

She Lei was a little impulsive on the city wall, and when he got off the wall, he was blown by the river breeze, and his mentality changed again, and he couldn't pull his face when he wanted to beg Chen Yi, so he begged Yu Weichao there.

The latter had worked in the government research institute anyway, where would he help him speak, but he couldn't help but beg bitterly, and hurriedly chased after Chen Yi, but said: "We put some craftsmen's points outside the city, such as blacksmiths, etc., all of them, or go and take a look." ”

"Why do you want to put it outside?" Chen Yi frowned

"Craftsmen and equipment are not valuable, and safety in the city is more important." As soon as Yu Weichao explained this, he understood, so he nodded.

She Lei followed behind with a blank eye, and didn't dare to approach, only to see Chen Yi frowning for a while, stretching away for a while, and nodding for a while, I don't know what Yu Weichao said, and his mentality changed for a while.

That's it, Chen Yi rested in the water village for one night, and then waited for the next delivery.

1,000 swords is not a big number to modern people, but if you really think about it, a sword of more than 1,000 yuan will have the thickness and weight to fight, and 1,000 swords are also worth millions.

Of course, this figure was a rare big deal for the nobles of Mara City, and considering the large amount of ordnance that had recently flowed out, Ranier had brought three hundred-man cavalry regiments to the water village.

300 knights, the worst of them all rode saber-toothed beasts, the slightly better dragon beasts and elephant beasts were 5 meters tall, and the 12-meter-long riding spears, 4 on each side of the knights' legs, were daunting to see. 300 such knights, like 300 war elephants, or 300 tanks, can be as powerful as the foreign mercenaries, who claim to be disciplined.

The leaders of the knights each rode special mounts, the tallest of which was 10 meters long - seeing them, Chen Yi was deeply suspicious that a sword that was no longer than 1 meter long could have any effect on such a fierce beast.

Yu Weichao was also stunned, and finally shouted when the other party approached the city wall: "Stop outside." ”

Then you are at eye level with each other.

The walls of the city are the same height as those dragons.
