The first impression you get when you enter the forge hall is that it's hot, so hot that you feel like you're in a sauna.

In order to create a comfortable working environment for the workers, each person will hand out a badge made with the power of frost to withstand the suffocating heatwave, and both the minotaur and the frost elf love this perk and say that it does improve their productivity, but the new group of thunderstone dwarves are dismissive.

This group of dwarves who are crazy about forging unanimously said that they are to sweat like rain in the heat wave and knock down the hammer in order to release the passion in their hearts, and bring the badge to reduce the temperature around them, and people are comfortable, but the fire of passion for forging in their hearts has also been extinguished, for which many thunderstone dwarves will take off their badges when forging, and then in the forge hall with an average temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and 70 degrees in front of the boiler, they will make themselves sweaty one by one with their bare necks.

For this group of strange people, the head of the forge hall, the mountain dwarf Sorak, said that they were happy.

The forge hall is now using high-efficiency assembly operations, and in order to further increase production capacity, Yalin exchanged a lot of old-fashioned machine tools from the system for these workers in the other world to work, not to mention the creatures born from the system, as a local inhabitant of the other world, the Thunderstone dwarves were very surprised after seeing all kinds of machine tools, but the dwarves' natural talent for creation will soon make them understand the purpose of machine tools, and they are amazed by the role of machine tools.

The production of various accessories for the magic knight is not only inefficient if it is completely made by a single person, but also will definitely vary in specifications, and the emergence of machine tools not only improves production efficiency, but also leads the accessories to begin to standardize the road.

Of course, just like cheating, having a few machine tools also means that standard industrialization can be achieved immediately, and having machine tools is one thing, and being able to use them is another, because machine tools are old antique models from the Second World War. In terms of manipulation, it is still necessary to test the craftsmanship of the workers, and there is a world of difference between the parts made by a skilled technician and the parts made by a novice. Dwarves have a unique talent for blacksmithing, but no matter how amazing the talent is, it still takes time to accumulate experience little by little.

One of the overseers in charge of guiding Yalin to visit said as he walked: "The machine tool that divides the Thunderstone dwarves is very popular, and it is usually used by their leader Dinktyr and a few veterans, and some hairy boys with poor skills are not even allowed to touch it, they are only allowed to watch from the side. ”

In addition to making parts for the Demon Knight. Yalin also learned that after the end of the work, these little dwarfs actually used machine tools to polish weapons and armor, and now there are two half-machined tomahawks and two triangular shields that can be polished on both sides that can almost be used as mirrors, so it is no wonder that these little men have such a high number of applications for various types of milling cutters.

"These dwarves actually used such a precious machine tool to do such a thing┉┉" Yalin was a little speechless.

Although I did promise that as long as they completed their daily tasks, they could do their own thing the rest of the time, but they wouldn't waste their precious machine tools so much. Until now, these milling cutters had not been able to produce their own consumables, and the only source was to exchange material energy from the summoning system, and the price was not too expensive, but it was by no means cheap. In order to make the Demon Knight Yalin will not feel sorry for this money, but in order to create a few weapons and armor, this makes people feel a little worthless, and it is not possible to use his own hammer and other tools to build it!

"The dwarves got a taste of using machine tools. Once they've built their weapons and armor, they like to use a machine tool to track and polish them, as it's much faster and more effective than when they take their swords to a whetstone and sharpen them slowly. The person in charge also said helplessly.

Never mind!

Yalin also didn't want to pour cold water on the enthusiasm of this group of dwarfs, originally using machine tools to produce parts and even the production of machine tools themselves are in the planning plan, some machine tool accessories or let people start to explore a little bit of self-production, thinking of this, Yalin simply exchanged a few tool grinders out, and asked the person in charge to supervise these dwarves so that they can learn how to make milling cutters by themselves.

And just when the grinder was arranged, suddenly a red figure ran in front of Yalin. With bright blonde hair, red eyes matched with a delicate and beautiful face, and an elegant and arrogant temperament, the girl who looked like she was from a noble background hurriedly tidied up her appearance and said, "Hello, Your Excellency Yalin. I'm sorry~ I was having dinner just now and didn't know you came to inspect. ”

One of the three musketeers of the United Kingdom in the game "Magic Shell", Yu Gasol is good at being in charge of military affairs, and through this period of observation, Arin has indeed proved that Elmina is very skillful, and has invested a lot of energy in military construction and development.

"It's nothing, I'm just here to take a look. Arrin motioned for Elmina to be no more polite.

Originally, Elmina wanted to take over the work of the superintendent and take Yalin to continue the tour herself, but Yalin had seen everything she should have seen. Instead, she gave Elmina a rough explanation of the purpose of the newly exchanged tool grinders, and asked her to be responsible for allocating them.

Elmina is good at military affairs, and naturally has a strong interest in many new technologies, and in the heart of this seemingly sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, all new technologies that can increase military production capacity are precious. Originally, as a girl who was not generally interested in industrial knowledge, Elmina listened to it with relish and fiddled with the grinder from time to time under the guidance of Yalin.

After determining the basic usage of the grinder, Elmina muttered to herself as she thought about it, "If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to separate people to conduct training." Your Excellency Yalin~ Can you assign some personnel to come here? There is still a shortage of manpower here in the forge factory. ”

"Yes, how much?" said Arin generously.

However, Elmina raised her eyebrows: "I hope to send some skilled workers, the previous ones are basically novices, although they learn quickly, they are not useful for a short time, and I have to send additional skilled workers to train them, which only delays the work efficiency." ”

Directly to skilled workers?

For this request, Yalin can only say, "hehe", sorry ~ how many newcomers there are, skilled workers are lacking everywhere in Ulduar City, not to mention the workers in this area, to operate those machine tools is not to get a group of completely illiterate slaves to get it. Even if the freedmen who were selected from the slaves and had a certain foundation in the forge, sending them to work in the forger's hall, which was considered a military powerhouse, still needed to be considered.

"Hey~ I know, then please try to send some dwarven workers, if you can, please try to send mountain dwarves. Elmina sighed.

Arrin heard some strange information from Elmina's words, why did you want mountain dwarves on purpose? Although on the surface they seem to be about the same length, mountain dwarves are born in the system. The Thunderstone Dwarves were taken in from the fugitives before, and the two sides were almost comparable in forging techniques, the only difference was that the Mountain Dwarves had absolute loyalty to Yalin, while the Thunderstone Dwarves were only left behind semi-voluntarily because of special circumstances.

Elmina quickly explained the reason for Arlin, roughly after the popularization of the use of machine tools, some of the Thunderstone Dwarves have tasted the sweetness of using machine tools led by the leader Dinktyr, while some Thunderstone Dwarves think that machine tools will destroy their forging memories, in their opinion, to build a weapon is to be hammered and shaped by their own hands from beginning to end, and it is an orthodox forging process to complete a weapon by slowly sharpening and grinding. Borrowing machine tools to polish and shape is an opportunistic act, which will corrupt the tradition and its own skills.

"A group of old stubborns with uncivilized brains have this kind of stumbling block that slows down the development of their own civilization in any era and in any race. ”

"I agree with Your Excellency Yalin, I don't want to pursue new technology, but just blindly use tradition to cover up my incompetence, and if I can, I would really like to hang them all on the hook and sink them into the boiler little by little. ”

Elmina was also unhappy with these few Thunderstone dwarves who were not enterprising, on the contrary, those mountain dwarves who were of the same race but came from different regions were much better, and never complained. He is also very obedient to orders, and he is quick to accept new things. They can almost be described as perfect subordinates.

Arin smiled when he heard Elmina's evaluation, the Thunderstone Dwarf himself couldn't send it even if he wanted to.

Slowly chatting with Elmina, Yalin found that the other party not only has a great talent for dealing with military affairs, but also knows how to mobilize troops to fight, and also has a good eye for political opinions. At Elmina's age, this is indeed an admirable talent.

"I say Elmina, if there is a weapon that can destroy a city in an instant, how can you use it at a disadvantage?"

"This┉┉"

For the unimaginable weapon proposed by Yalin. Elmina pondered for a moment before replying, "I'm sorry, Lord Arin, but I can't answer this question accurately, so I can only give some suggestions. ”

"It's okay, just use your imagination. ”

"If there really is such a weapon that can destroy everything in an instant, if your own side is in a strong position, you can immediately use its power to dominate the world. However, if your side is at a disadvantage and is extremely disadvantaged, then you can only maximize the power of this weapon if you don't use it. ”

Yalin's expression remained unchanged: "Quite an interesting idea, please continue!"

Elmina shook her hand as if to straighten out her thoughts: "Empathy, when I find that the originally weak enemy has mastered an incredibly powerful weapon, and has also thrown a large amount of weapons into battle and caused me great losses, then there are only two possibilities for the next one, to be forced to surrender or to put all the military power into a desperate effort, and destroy the enemy at all costs before the enemy destroys himself with this weapon." ”

"And if you don't use it?"

If the weak side has mastered some kind of powerful weapon, it is a great threat to the strong neighbors around it, and if it is rashly used in large quantities to destroy the balance, or even force the strong neighbors to the point where they have to break the boat, then unless this weapon can really sweep everything, in the face of a strong enemy dominated by fear, whether a weak force can support the enemy with this weapon first, or be breached before the enemy is destroyed, this is really a question that must be carefully discussed. On the other hand, if the weapon is not used as a symbol of deterrence, then even if the enemy wants to use it, he must first consider whether he can bear the huge losses in the face of such a weapon, and as long as he does not finally tear his face and completely cut off all back roads, then he can use this weapon to establish a very fragile peace. ”

Yalin listened to Elmina's analysis and nodded: "That is to say, in the end, your own strength is still the most important┉┉"

"Unless that powerful weapon can really ignore everything┉┉" Saying this, Elmina couldn't help but show a puzzled look: "I said Your Excellency Yalin, you shouldn't really have this kind of weapon." ”

To this question, Yalin smiled and said nothing. (To be continued.) )
