Chapter 560: An Industrial City - Iron City
Although these people were all martial artists, so that they had more strength, and it was not too difficult to carry the boxes, Chen Ling could easily tell from their movements that the contents of these boxes were also very heavy, and it was estimated that they were also iron tools and the like.
This is strange, doesn't it mean that these metals are intended to be used to cast islands? What are these people doing with transporting a large amount of metal out in the middle of the night? The key is that they seem to be doing it here secretly, and if there are no ghosts in this, then there are really no ghosts.
For the next three days, they started work late at night, and they didn't stop until dawn.
Although Chen Ling was very curious about what these people were doing, he thought that no matter what they did, it had nothing to do with him, he was just in a hurry, what should these people do about it, as long as they didn't get in the way of him.
......
At dawn on the tenth day, the official supply ship was ready to set sail and leave the port, and Chen Ling and his party boarded the spaceship and embarked on the road to the next stop, Tiecheng.
This supply ship is huge, it can definitely be regarded as a giant ship, and the design of this spaceship is different from that of ordinary commercial cargo spaceships, his cargo yard is placed in a special cargo compartment, unlike other spaceships that are stacked directly on the deck, from the surface it is impossible to see whether this ship is loaded with goods, Chen Ling and these people are all active on the top deck, it seems that this ship is a huge empty ship.
Only Chen Ling understood in his heart that in addition to supplying a large amount of supplies to the Northern Underworld, this ship also transported a large amount of things from the Northern Underworld.
As for what this thing is, only they know it.
After a three-month flight, the spaceship made the longest voyage to the Imperial Capital, and finally reached the city they were going to next, the Iron City.
Iron City is an industrial city. The floating island where it is located is huge. Comparable to a giant country. There are countless metal resources on this suspended island, and there are large holes dug out everywhere, and factories are also built everywhere, and these factories are all metal processing factories without exception, some are rough, some are finishing, and there are also manufacturing plants for the one-stop industry.
The city made all sorts of metal utensils, from pots and pans to pots and pans. Giant metal city wall bricks used to defend against spirit beasts are all reproduced here.
However, the biggest industry of the Iron City is not these, but the arms manufacturing industry.
As the number of warriors continues to rise, this trend continues to increase, and more and more merchants come to Iron City to make weapons, and in many cases, the supply exceeds the demand.
There are two kinds of weapons manufacturing in Tiecheng, one is government-run and the other is private, and the government-run factories produce weapons in large quantities but do not use them for external sales, while the private-run weapons factories are different, and in the fierce competition, there are more and more weapons of all kinds, and the quality is getting better and better. Prices are also getting lower and lower, weapons factories throughout the Iron City. The private sector accounts for at least 70 percent of the scale.
It is an indisputable fact that the number of martial artists in the Hanging Heaven Realm is constantly increasing, and the emperor is also trying to cultivate more martial artists, and the demand for weapons will only increase, and sooner or later it will spread among the people, and then it will be an opportunity to make money.
These merchants who made weapons in a standardized way were intended for long-term profits, but there were also a small number of traditional weapon workshops in the Iron City, which did not use standard molds to produce weapons in large quantities, but stuck to the tradition of forging weapons with their own hands and experience.
Although the production volume is extremely low and there is no quantitative advantage, the weapons manufactured are definitely the best of the best, and the price is also one hundred, which is very expensive.
After the ship docked, everyone left the ship and landed on the island.
After inquiring, the cargo ship that left the Iron City for the next city they were going to at the fastest time departed in three days, and paid in advance to reserve a space, so as not to have a place for them when they did not have a place.
As an industrial city, the iron city does not feel particularly good, the huge iron city can not see a green leaf, the heavy metal breath emitted by the metal calcination makes people unable to breathe, and there are all kinds of rumbling sounds in the ears, and the noise makes people speak to raise the voice an octave.
The inn here is even worse, although the decoration of various furnishings is very luxurious, but every corner is dusty, and it is particularly uncomfortable to look at.
It's just that this city is like this, every corner is filled with a metallic atmosphere, and it doesn't necessarily get better if you change it, so you just live there.
The group put down their packages and walked outside.
The biggest resource of the Iron City is metal, and the weapons manufacturing industry is unprecedentedly developed, so in such a place, although the environment is poor, it would be a pity not to go around and see what can be bought.
Chen Lingyi, Mo Chunjiao, and Zhou Lanxin naturally don't need weapons, Chen Ling's white sword is his most convenient weapon, and the heart sword of the three of them is also an artifact-level treasure, no matter how powerful these skilled craftsmen are, it is impossible to make a powerful Tianxuan sword.
But there are other things that are not necessarily missing, and you may be able to find some other good treasures.
Especially in the hands of those old artists, there may be something amazingly powerful.
Of course, for the four of them, it doesn't matter if they don't, just take a look, but for Wu Han, Yi Xin, Gao Jianhu, and Dongfang Bailong, it's different.
The weapons manufacturing industry here is so developed, and there are countless skilled craftsmen gathered here, and the weapons in their hands are scum and can no longer be scummed ordinary goods, if they can find a high-quality weapon here, it will also be of great benefit to their future combat effectiveness.
They were naturally more excited than Chen Ling.
The streets of the Iron City are all selling weapons and the like, all kinds of weapons and armor, as long as they can be imagined, you can see them here, and there are some strange-shaped weapons that you can't even think of, and at first glance you can't even think of what he's for.
But the designers of these weapons designed every weapon they could think of in order to meet the combat needs of various scenarios as much as possible.
Ordinary standard weapons are naturally not looked down upon by them.
Truly powerful weapons are all masterpieces that have been carefully crafted with the most painstaking effort and energy of craftsmen, and no matter how sophisticated the standard weapons are, they do not have the spirituality of weapons.
You know, a truly powerful weapon is psychic, and it can communicate with the user's mind.
Along the way, they specifically looked for those small workshops.
The weapons of the small workshop are not necessarily good, but most of the talented people who study the weapons are forging their own weapons in the small workshop, and this unfettered and freewheeling working environment can stimulate the greatest enthusiasm in their hearts, and only the casting of emotions can make a sword have a different vitality......
