Chapter 147: Requirements
"You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of any trouble" Lu Ya could only secretly think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Bart led Ruya through the main road and continued to move forward after passing the square, and along the way, Ruya only smiled at the people who greeted Bart and the people around him, and did not have time to ask Bart where he was going to take him, until the voices of the two guards sounded.
"Mr. Bart, we really can't let you in without the patriarch's permission, uh, patriarch" The soldier spotted Ruya behind Bart and immediately raised his hand in salute
"Well, it's been a great job," Ruya replied to the saluted soldier, and then turned to look at Bart.
"Master, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell them."
"What's going on here," Bart asked calmly.
"This is the smelting area for the time being, uh, it's to make weapons from iron," Lu Ya explained to Bart, since the time when Black Rock City was not built, the iron area at that time was already forbidden to outsiders to enter, so the two guards did not do the right thing, and Lu Ya was also quite surprised, but he didn't expect Bart not to force his own strength to go in to check.
"Let's go in and have a look, these two fighters are good" Bart rarely complimented, but it was not Ruya who was praised, which made him a little depressed.
"Where did the Buriff knife and the guards' weapons come from?" asked Bart as he walked.
"Except for the ones that make noises, we've built them ourselves," Ruya replied truthfully, and he had nothing to hide from Bart.
"Really!" Bart's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true, who am I your apprentice, these things are drizzle・・・・・ uh, master, you go slowly"
・・・・・・・・・
Passing through the coal and iron ore factories outside, Luya and Bart finally arrived at the iron-striking area, which was already up and running again, and the Iron Old Man continued to work as soon as he learned of the victory, which was quite in keeping with his characteristics as a research maniac.
Although it has been confirmed that a separate steel plant will be built, it is only temporary, but under the arrangement of the old man of the iron, it seems to be a well-established place.
Nearly 100 improvised forging furnaces and iron felts were neatly arranged in a separate area, and in front of most of the iron felts, there was a shirtless hardcover orc who kept swinging the forging hammer, hammering the blanks on the iron felt. In front of the forge next to them, an orc was also squatting to pull the bellows for them, and the most bizarre thing was that the priest laborers led by Kroger were also constantly interspersed among these people at this time, casting a return spell for them.
The corners of Barth's mouth twitched a little as he watched this scene, he didn't expect Ruya to let such a noble priest do this kind of work, but he only looked at it twice more and didn't pay much attention to it and walked inside again.
Further inside, there is an uncovered area, or some of them are unroofed, which is the core of the entire smelting area, where several blast furnaces and converters and the equipment that the iron old general has come to study are all in this area.
The Iron Old Man had been informed at this time, and he had come to greet the two of Luya, "Patriarch, Mr. Bart" The Iron Old Man looked very respectful, because he had also heard of Bart's amazing performance on the city wall, and he showed the same respect for the two men who saved the tribe from danger.
"Uncle Tie, you're welcome, my master wants to take a closer look at our current things, so you can explain them to him well" Lu Ya decisively threw the burden to the old man Tie.
"No problem, Mr. Bart, please come here first, this is the blast furnace, it's the patriarch・・・・・・・"
Lu Ya sat in the corner and watched the Iron Old Man spit and explain to Bart the equipment and its working principle, of course, the Iron Old Man was also very honest and gave most of the credit to Lu Ya, claiming that he was just a practitioner of the brainchild of the great Lu Ya Patriarch.
I don't know if Bart understands it or not, but Bart has been here from the evening to the second half of the night, watching the blast furnace iron and converter oxygen blowing several times, until even the iron old man, a maniac who works overtime, is a little unbearable, so he kicked up Lu Ya, who had been lying on the side and asleep for a long time, and walked outside.
"You really made it all yourself, and it only took more than two months to build this small city," Bart asked Ruya again on the way back, and he had asked these questions no less than ten times along the way.
"It's true, Master, it's definitely my own research results, and judging from the smelting level I know now, it is impossible for my skills to be surpassed by others in a short period of time, as for this Black Rock City, it is actually mainly built so quickly by relying on a building material called cement" Lu Ya patted his chest with a posture of guaranteeing his life.
"・・・・・・・・" Bart didn't speak again, and after coming to Luya's house in silence, he let Luya go to rest first, and he himself closed his eyes in the living room and pondered.
Near noon, Luya stretched out of the room, and saw that Bart in the living room was still sitting with his eyes closed, and thought he was asleep, so he thought that he would find something to eat first, and just as he was about to raise his feet to go out, Bart who was sitting there suddenly opened his eyes.
"Do you know the relationship between our orcs and humans," Bart said softly, his voice like it was full of stories.
"Well, I know some," Ruya paused.
"Come, let's hear it," Bart gestured to the chair beside him, motioning for Ruya to sit down.
Lu Ya rubbed his shriveled lower abdomen a little helplessly, and then obediently did it to Bart's side, and then organized it a little and said.
"It's nothing more than that human beings have taken a fancy to our resources and want to invade us, and our orcs are too far away from others because the level of social water technology is too far away to be able to drive humans away, and then the two sides have been consuming, I estimate that human beings have also used some economic sanctions, technological blockades, cultural invasions and other means, but our skills are not as good as people and are helpless, right? ”
"What you said is a bit new, but it's true, but it's not as peaceful as you think," Bart glanced at Ruya with some appreciation. He turned to a worried face.
"Half of the Harry continent that originally belonged to us is now in the hands of humans, and I thought that we could maintain the status quo after the truce, even if the territory is smaller than before, as long as we work hard, we can always change, and even regain what belongs to us from humans when the time comes. It's just that as you said, there are too many human methods, and most of them are soft knives that kill people without seeing blood, and by the time you feel the pain, it's too late."
"The most infuriating thing is that some of our tribe are persuaded by humans to be willing to do things for them, and even do not hesitate to sell their tribesmen in exchange for the luxury provided by humans, because their influence has made all the tribes of our orc tribe distrust each other, and the tribes that originally wanted to develop and finally fight back have gradually remained neutral, this situation has become more and more serious by now, I am afraid that one day those tribesmen who have abandoned their faith will wave their swords and guns at us together with humans, and then our orc clan will be over”
After Bart finished speaking, his eyes looked at the void so blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Ahem~ This, Master, what do you mean, you just say it, I'll just give you this hundred and ten catties of meat, just do it if you tell me" Lu Ya couldn't figure out what Bart meant for the time being, so he could only show his loyalty first.
"What can you do alone, even if you add your small city of two thousand people, it's useless, I ask you, can you give me those smelting techniques and methods for building a city" There was a hint of pleading in Bart's tone for some reason.
"This~" Lu Ya hesitated.
"Hmph! forget it" Bart thought that Ruya disagreed, and then thought that he had used a pleading tone just now, and immediately became a little annoyed, and stood up and wanted to leave.
"No, masters, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't know what you want this for, master, all of us here are saved by you, not to mention technology, you can kill you" Lu Ya hurriedly grabbed Bart.
"Then what did you hesitate about," Barth's tone softened a lot.
"Master, I know what level my skills are, I'm afraid that you don't know the quality of these technologies, so you can easily take them out and give them away, the cement is okay, and when the time comes, a bad smelting technology will be known by the human side, with the already good craftsmanship of the human race, I'm afraid it won't be long before the other party can make better steel than us." Lu Ya explained with a sad face, he really doesn't have too many ideas about these technologies, but he also knows more or less about the contradictions between humans and orcs, although he feels that neither side is fundamentally wrong, but since he is an orc race, and deeply understands the essential kindness and simplicity of orcs, he still wants to help the orcs, so he is afraid that his technology will be leaked out and known by humans.
"Alas~ You're right, it's true that what I thought was too simple, but ・・・・・Alas~" The wrinkles on Bart's resolute face seemed to be a little deeper.
It was the first time for Lu Ya to see Bart so sad, even if he was injured to the bone marrow, he had never seen him sigh like this, understanding that Bart was indeed worried about the entire orc clan, Lu Ya couldn't help but think about it carefully and then said.
"Master, you think otherwise, you can first identify a few trustworthy tribes I can provide them with this kind of sophisticated steel or weapons, first let them arm themselves and have the strength to protect themselves, and then think about other things, I still suggest not to hand over these technologies easily, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and a slight carelessness will be wasted" Although Lu Ya's suggestion is conservative, it is one of the best ways nowadays.
After listening to Lu Ya's suggestion, Bart pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "Maybe I'm too anxious, you said you still know people from the Stone Tower Tribe?"
"Well, now the security captain in the bazaar, Brother Kuqi, is a member of the Stone Tower Tribe, and his father, Uncle Curry, seems to be the deputy commander of some tribe, by the way, and the token he gave me, thanks to it, I was able to enter Boulder City in the first place," Ruya ran back to the room after speaking, and after a while, he took out the token that the coolie had given him and handed it to Bart.
Bart took the token and looked at it for a moment, then said. "Well, it's true, and the status of those who can have this kind of token in the clan will not be low. I know this Stone Tower tribe, it is one of the best forces in this realm except for Boulder City, but Boulder City is now mixed, forget it, come, you can find a way to send this token back to that Curry, let him come here" Bart finished and threw the token to Ruya again.
