Chapter 70: A Year of Building

The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people. There is never a shortage of bold people in the world, and the day after Mo Xuan's notice was posted, someone signed up for work.

That night, when the people returned with their mouths full of oil and the tinkling coins in their hands, those who did not go were boiling.

The next day, a large number of farmers who were idle at home would be flooded with registration. As a last resort, Mo Xuan had no choice but to send more manpower to cope with this wave.

After working for a long time, some smart people began to settle accounts, working at home for two seasons a year, with a lot of free time in the middle, just enough to eat at the end of the year, and if the wind and rain are smooth to catch up with the bumper harvest, there can be a little surplus. And mining in the mine has a salary every day, and the salary is not low, and the most important thing is that you can get money every day when you go to the mine, so you can work at home and farm much better.

In the same way, some people also thought that if they could make so much money in the mines, would they make the same money in other factories that the lord had opened? Although there was a magician to take care of them, after all, there was still a certain risk in working in the mines, and if other factories could make the same money, could they enter other factories?

Mo Xuan didn't expect that such a small trick to attract farmers to work in the mines would attract so many people to his factory!

The armor of humans on the Endless Continent is basically still in a state of leather armor, because there is no systematic theory of how to find mineral deposits, so metal ores are relatively scarce. And these scarce ores were first made into weapons, and then armor, and armor was very troublesome to make, so iron or steel armor was concentrated in the hands of nobles and generals, and ordinary soldiers could only wear leather armor.

However, leather armor is not bad in Mo Xuan's opinion, after all, there are all kinds of strange beasts and demonic beasts in this world, and the armor made of their skin is not worse than the iron ones, and some are even much stronger, but due to the scarcity of the number, such armor can only be worn by people standing at the top of the pyramid, and the soldiers can only wear armor made of the skin of ordinary beasts.

So when the star handed the drawn drawings to Lu Sien, Lu Sien just looked at it and scolded Mo Xuan for a bloody head, Lu Sien's heart is now full of words such as waste, ruined, distressed and so on.

What Mo Xuan gave was an infantry Kai that was transformed according to the European cavalry Kai, with full body protection plus a large round shield that could be carried behind his back with a two-handed sabre and a prepared one-handed axe, which could be said to cost a lot of money to get this set. But to be honest, the survivability on the battlefield can be described as top-notch.

The moment he saw the drawings, Lu Sien understood why, Mo Xuan said that he wanted to form heavy infantry, which is really heavy! Look at the armor, the big shield, the main weapon, and the secondary weapon. Coupled with some small bits and pieces, such as the throwing axes that some barbarians like to throw, Lu Sien estimated that if all steel is used, I am afraid it will not be less than two hundred catties. No wonder it is specified that barbarians should be used, and ordinary humans are afraid that they will die of exhaustion after a long time.

When Lu Sien had scolded enough to dissipate his anger, Mo Xuan accompanied Lu Sien with a smiling face: "Look, they wear and use these to protect us, and we can rest assured that they are more expensive! ”

Lu Sien had to admit that Mo Xuan was reasonable, but he was still muttering and nagging.

"Alright, this hoplite is done, you can look at this again. After finishing speaking, Mo Xuan handed a drawing to Lu Sien, to be honest, Lu Sien was mentally prepared when he received this drawing, every time Mo Xuan gave him a drawing, the things on the drawing were the type that could make people tired to death.

"Yes. Lu Sien glanced at it, and his eyes widened: "Isn't this a cross bow and a cross bow arrow?"

"Tell me what the wheel on this bow arm is for, and how is this arrow triangular?" Lu Sien pointed out his doubt.

"This is a pulley, after we use this pulley, we don't have to work so hard when winding, as for the arrow, of course, it is for armor piercing and flight stability. Mo Xuan said proudly.

"I don't think that's all! Lu Sien was unmoved, pointing to the doubts on the drawing and said.

"Hehe, I know I can't hide it from you. Mo Xuan smiled lightly: "Below here is the magazine, there is a spring in it, we can pass through the ・・・・・・." ”

"Then here and here, what are these magic arrays, don't you say it's for good looks?" The more he listened to what Mo Xuan said, the more excited Lu Sien became, if the cross bow on the drawings provided by Mo Xuan was made, then this was a big killing weapon, as long as the winding was fast enough and the magazine change was fast enough, then it could form an endless barrage. It's just that the crossbow bolts that are all iron all over the body hurt Lu Sien's heart, and how much iron does this have to go out.

"The magic circle here is going to be involved, and my other way is to wait for us to go to the house of Grand Wizard Gucci, and then you will know what these magic circles do. Mo Xuan smiled mysteriously and kept silent, but Lu Sien, who was anxious, was scratching his heart with a hundred claws.

"Take the rest back and look at it slowly. As he spoke, Mo Xuan handed a stack of drawings to Lu Sien.

Lu Sien looked at the drawings while following Mo Xuan and slowly walked outside.

"Oh, that's right. Suddenly, Mo Xuan stopped, allowing Lu Sien behind him to almost bump into him.

"Whew, I'm scared to death, what's wrong?" Lu Sien, who was concentrating on the drawings, was taken aback.

Mo Xuan smiled apologetically, and then asked with a straight face: "What I want to ask is, how long will it take for these to be assembled into the hands of the army?"

"Is this this?" Lu Sien pondered, "about a year." ”

"How can it be so long?" Mo Xuan frowned, obviously very dissatisfied.

"How can it be so long?" Lu Sien glanced at Mo Xuan and elongated his tone: "Look at this armor, it is all hammered after smelting large pieces of iron ore, and it must be an old blacksmith, and it is impossible to beat it out with raw hands." Look at this arrow again, it's not very difficult to build, but your demand is too great, we only have about 300 blacksmiths now, and the rest are unfamiliar apprentices, you want 100,000 arrows, how can you make them in a short time?"

Saying that, Lu Sien frowned: "But then again, even if this new type of crossbow is very labor-saving, it doesn't need to prepare nearly a hundred arrows per person! ”

Mo Xuan smiled and patted Lu Sien's shoulder: "Don't worry! I won't do useless work, I will definitely be able to use so many arrows if you prepare so many arrows." But to be honest, Lu Sien really can't be faster?"

"No, you can't. Lu Sien had a black face and knocked Mo Xuan's hand down.

"Even the kind of assembly operation I proposed can't do it?" Regarding the low-content but efficient way of working, Mo Xuan has already realized it in the furniture factory.

"It's just that I take into account the way of assembly operations, so I dare to guarantee that I can build them in a year, otherwise you just have to wait!" Lu Sien said impatiently.
