Volume 1 The Crooked Tech Tree After the Forced Landing Chapter 49 The Dwarven Master's Reluctance Request
"Hey, why did you bring your grandfather here today?" Lu Ye looked at the old man and the young man who came in at the door of the study in surprise, reproached Emma, and then asked the old dwarf with concern, "Master Oli, how are you feeling today?" “
"It's grandpa himself, huh." The cat lady Emma pouted cutely.
The old dwarf touched Emma's little head dotingly, turned his head and said to Lu Ye heartily: "Thanks to you, the old man, I have come back to life, and my body is great, I feel that it is no problem for me to strike iron with a fifty pound hammer now." “
Ou Li's slightly nasal accent is quite distinctive, coupled with his tough and sturdy appearance, which left a deep impression on Lu Ye.
Lu Ye is also full of respect for this old man who is willing to help orphans.
"Well, that's good, I wonder what happened to me today?" Lu Ye was a little curious, the old man woke up on the day of treatment, and he had seen him before, it had been a week, what else could he do to find him?
Although there was some misunderstanding in the middle of this, he thought that he had taken a fancy to his granddaughter, but he also explained it clearly, and when he thought of this, Lu Ye touched his nose without touching it.
"Haha, old man, I have a reluctant request today."
"Well, as long as it's not about marrying your granddaughter again, it's all good to say, this has already been explained. Because your granddaughter risked her life for you is rare in this Black Rock Island, so your treatment is all free. ”
"Stinky beauty, huh" Emma pursed her small mouth, a little dissatisfied, and originally raised her tail that had bent to the right, but turned to the left, and bent back and forth again.
A gleam flashed in the old dwarf's eyes, which actually made him find haha and hurriedly defended: "Well, it's not about it. ”
Is that really the case? I still have this idea.
The slight change in the old man's expression, how could he escape Lu Ye's eyes, but he couldn't blame Lu Ye, this dwarf clan was all upright and arrogant, and everything was written on his face.
However, Lu Ye did not say anything, but asked solemnly: "Oh, I would like to hear about it."
"Forgive the old man for having the character of saying something in his life, and he should repay the kindness he owes to others, since you don't agree with the previous proposal, then I have only that.
You've just succeeded as the owner of the island, and the old man should be able to play a role.
The old man thinks that his skills are okay, and he has a little fame in this Western Continent with his strength. I am now willing to stop the orders I have now, and swear to repay you for saving your life by crafting equipment for five years for free for your forces. “
Hearing what Grandpa said, Emma instantly exploded and hurriedly grabbed the old dwarf and persuaded, "Grandpa! How can it! You're an order from the military! Is this a stop-and-stop? If you can't pay the contract, you will be arrested! It will even be blacklisted, and it will be difficult to receive work in the future! “
"I've made up my mind, I'll stop, but you can continue, the original processing for the military is also some standard weapons rough embryos, apprentices can also do it, there are very few places to use the old man, at most take out some money and hire more people." The old dwarf looked resolute.
"But grandpa, you still have ten sets of officer orders, have you forgotten? This is not something that a temporarily recruited apprentice can do. “
Lu Ye quietly listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and it may be extremely rare and even undesirable to get a dwarf master to promise to work for you for five years for nothing.
While Lu Ye was treating the old dwarf, he also obtained the information of the old man from various channels. The old man was indeed a veritable master craftsman.
Just because he offended the powerful in the Eastern Continent, he fled to the Western Continent in desperation and took advantage of the war, and his granddaughter Emma was also picked up on the battlefield at that time.
Lu Ye also knew what it meant to be a good-tempered dwarf to be able to say such words.
Just like the old man said, the forces under his command are indeed short of weapons, but to be honest, if the old man's joining is just to give him iron, it really doesn't mean much.
Because he has electric machine tools and forging presses, he can produce standard equipment on the mainland casually like child's play.
And the efficiency absolutely crushes the efficiency of all workshops, how can labor and assembly lines be comparable?
What's more, with the current armed forces of Cloin Island, per capita tactical intelligent helmets, biological armor, and electromagnetic guns, this configuration may be a little difficult for the old man to process.
But just such a master craftsman, willing to come to serve him, it would be a pity to let it go, but it is by no means used to strike iron, which is too big and too much.
According to Lu Ye's understanding, Master Oak is one of the few masters who has mastered the process of tempering enchantment, and he can do it without using any magic assistance, so that the weapon armor processed by his hand will be attached to various magical effects, such as self-repair, forbidden magic, piercing, acceleration, deflection and other series of effects.
That's exactly what Cloin Island needs, and the elves can temporarily enchant items, but they can't do it forever like the Dwarven Master.
If Lu Ye's speculation is not wrong, this technique of the dwarves should be able to be mechanically reproduced! If this assumption is confirmed, many existing technology products will be greatly improved.
Some drawings that cannot be unlocked due to technical materials and other problems can also be unlocked in another way.
And the early realization of repairing his mecha through new technology has become not so unattainable.
In view of the development of the power, his next plan also needs some different people to carry out, and this prestigious old man is a suitable person.
Therefore, no matter what, you can't let such a master strike iron like this, and the old man himself can't be willing Lu Ye either.
The grandfather and grandson, who were arguing endlessly, suddenly found that Lu Ye was silent and fell into thought, and they also stopped arguing and looked at Lu Ye together.
Emma was a little angry, grandpa is such a master who works for you, why are you still hesitating here? Whoever is not a fart agrees to come down. Why is this bad guy so indecisive at this time, not at all as good as when he released his tentacles.
Thinking of this, Emma's little face was slightly red, and she didn't know that the corners of her mouth were upturned, revealing a cute little tiger tooth.
But after a while, he thought of something again, and began to get angry again, and rewarded Lu Ye with a big white eye.
"What's the matter, you still don't want to??"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of something else, I'm sorry for being distracted." Lu Ye explained apologetically, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.
Seeing that the old dwarf who was about to write his doubts on the door of his head was about to be a little unbearable, Lu Ye hurriedly said to the old man: "I really didn't expect Master Oak to make this decision, I am very happy in my heart, I really need the help of a capable person like the master now, but it is not the matter of striking iron." ”
When the old man heard Lu Ye say this, his face began to soften, but he fell into doubts again: "Is it to help you enchant?" That's fine, but you may not know much about dwarven enchantment, and things that I didn't make might be recycled, isn't that still iron? ”
"Master, don't worry, I'll show you something." Saying that, Lu Ye turned on the stereoscopic projection on the table and played a video of the forging press assembly line operation of the newly built No. 34 factory on Cloin Island.
The dwarven master, who had a puzzled expression, stared in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I've seen the undead!"
