The day of separation soon came. Dafert was a man of trust, and he knew he couldn't stay at Blackhammer for too long, or he would be in trouble with the man who helped him. There are not many people in the world who value love and righteousness, and Daffert doesn't want to see Rhodes dragged into the water by himself.

Merchant ships from the Empire are already waiting at the docks, and the Skyspring, a cargo ship full of iron ore and furniture, will sail from the inner harbor of Blackhammer Castle to the Empire. However, no one knows that his real purpose is to pick up these ten Moorish believers who were persecuted by the Ice Queen.

"The Moorish Sect will always remember the help you have provided to us, it is this time of asylum that has given me the opportunity to get in touch with the organization on the other side of the Empire, Rod, thank you, if there is a need for the Moorish Sect in the future, as long as you say a word......"

Dafert stood on the shore of the pier and said with deep affection. And Rod only felt that these words were familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere...... By the way, the lines I heard in countless bloody dramas. And at this moment, these words are not lines, they are Dafort's inner monologue.

"Alright, let's get on board. Everyone is waiting. Remember not to write when you get to the Empire, my side is not so safe. As long as it's in Kislev, there's always someone watching. If you're going to report safety......" Rod thought for a moment, "forget it, I'm sure you'll arrive safely in Baker Harbor." If you want to report peace, let them come. ”

Rhodes pointed to the ship's crew, who were both the sailors on the cargo ship and the men responsible for picking up Dafert. They know who Dafort is, while others don't. So, these people are safer than letters. The devil knows if the letters from the Empire will be intercepted by which Kislev's secret police on the way. Under Katerina's Reign of Terror, anything can happen.

"I see. Thank you again, friend......"

After Daft finished speaking, he turned and stepped onto the deck of the Tianquan. Behind him was the Black Hammer Castle shrouded in the morning light. It is no longer as simple as a castle, absorbing the double refugees of Errengrad's Iron Ring Castle, and the Black Hammer Castle is constantly developing in the direction of a city.

......

After seeing off Dafert, Bogur followed Rhodes down the docks. The day begins in the vast town, where farmers send their grains and vegetables to the "wholesale department" in exchange for a common currency, which in turn sells all kinds of vegetables and grains to the various vendors, who take them to the town's market to sell. Other wholesalers wait at the wharf for ships to buy raw materials or finished products and sell them in their own shops.

Of course, there are also a small number of farmers who bypass the intermediate link of the wholesale agricultural trade department and go directly to the market to sell, but the rent of the market shops is still a bit high for ordinary farmers, and it is very inconvenient to set up their own stalls on the street.

In addition, there are inspection teams in the market that specialize in inspecting the quality of agricultural products, and the people are at ease with the things in the regular market, and most of them are suspicious and resistant to the behavior of selling them privately. In addition, wholesalers actually rely on volume to make profits, and the price of goods sold to various retailers is actually not high, so it is not cost-effective to bypass the intermediate links and set up your own stalls, unless you have a lot of time to spend slowly.

This is also deliberately done by Ruder Finn, in order to regulate the entire market. The farmer concentrates on farming, and the salesman concentrates on sales, each doing what they are good at. Rhodes said this to the people in his territory - as long as your product is good, don't worry about not being able to sell.

The industrial division of labor can strive for excellence and make the product quality truly excellent. The special market acquisition team is responsible for "Taobao" in the huge production department. In the territory of Blackhammer Castle, agency has gradually become a popular profession.

"Let's go, follow me to the blacksmith's shop, I've heard that Wadrin has succeeded in creating the first repeating cannon. I'm wondering if I want to name it the Wadrin Repeater. ”

Rod joked. Take Bogur with him in the direction of the military factory. Three-two

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the munitions factory, I heard a loud crash of steel. Rod hurriedly rushed in and was relieved to find Wadrin standing on the ground intact.

"Look, it's done!" Wadrin was covered in iron filings and sweat, and his face was excited. At the same time, an unconcealable sense of pride permeated his big dark brown face.

"The last plate has been installed, and it is very protective so that the gunner can operate behind the plate without worrying about bullets or arrows coming in. ”

Wadrin said, looking at the machine like a father admires his son. It can be seen that a metal baffle has been installed on the original empty operating table of this Vlaar repeating gun, which is so thick that even if you shoot at close range with a musket, you will not be able to penetrate. It can even slightly withstand the bombardment of long-range artillery. As long as it is not attacked by cavalry, the improved Vlar repeater gun can be said to have a full advantage.

"What else is the performance? Tell me about it. ”

Rod patted the big guy and asked with interest.

"The drive has been improved. Wadrin said, gesturing to the wheels under the turret, "It's driven by a series of machines, it's no longer purely human-driven, and of course, it's still manpower to maintain its balance when it comes to climbing hills or rough roads." ”

"Couldn't the drive be improved, for example, to be propelled by fuel? Also, could the protective plates be extended to various parts and finally connected to form a whole car? In that way, wouldn't it be able to resist attacks from all directions?"

Rhodes was ignited, because he thought of the Imperial Steam Tank, if the continuous fire cannon could also be added with such a large iron shell, and then attached to the fuel drive system, it could be described as a big killer on the battlefield. But from the eyes of the dwarven craftsman, Rhodes read—impossible.

"Can't!"

Wadrin turned, frowning.

"Installing protective steel plates is already the limit, do you know how heavy this guy is now? If it weren't for the improved drive, we would need at least two dozen people to push it. Also, fuel propulsion is not as simple as you think, alcohol combustion will produce high temperatures, and if you encounter a closed large iron shell, it is difficult to ensure that the gunpowder will not explode. Also, how much fuel is needed to drive such a heavy set of equipment?"

Wadrin returned sullenly, as if Rod had just said something questioning the fruits of his labor.

"Okay, no, forget it, I'm just talking. ”

Rod laughed.
