The style of the weapon is directly applied to the "horizontal knife" currently assembled by the army, but the handle is longer, because it is inlaid with magic crystals as energy.

And it is even more exquisitely made, one by one the runes are covered with the sword body, but there is no sense of disobedience, but it is perfectly integrated into it, like a well-carved work of art.

Ryan picked up a handle, which was relatively heavy to hold, but it was also within the normal range, and even ordinary soldiers could use it normally.

The handle of the knife is made of a dark red hardwood unique to the Warcraft Mountains, which not only enhances the aesthetics, but also has the characteristics of non-slip, even if it is stained with blood, it will not slip on the hand.

The head of the ring is made of soft copper, with a sharp top, which is not pleasant to smash.

Ryan was very satisfied, looked at Susan who sent the knife and said, "Little sister, what's so special about this knife?" ”

Susan sat on the stone next to her and smiled slyly, "On the surface, this is what you see, the handle of the knife is about five centimeters from the head of the ring is a moving part, you can try to twist it." ”

Lane picked it up when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a slight gap, he tried to turn it, only to find that after turning, the two lines on the upper and lower handles of the knife were docked together.

The next moment, a little glimmer of light bloomed on the strip-like lines, and then spread upward, and the runes of the entire blade were lit up in an instant.

Immediately afterward, Ryan felt that the knife in his hand had become lighter, and this weight would not be difficult for even a young man to wield.

And in his perception, the temperature of the first half of the blade was also rising sharply, even making the silver blade turn orange.

"Brother, let's try the effect." Susan didn't know when she stood on top of the stone, holding a small piece of wood in her hand, and threw it at Ryan with all her might.

After all, she is still a little girl, and her hands are weak, so she is not allowed to say that she is not far away.

Fortunately, there is Ryan, a high-level receiver, and he came to the front of the wood between the slight changes in his steps, and the knife in his hand was gently flicked, and the wood instantly turned into two halves.

This knife Ryan not only didn't use his fighting energy, but he didn't even use his strength much, but he didn't expect the wood to be split like tofu.

Susan jumped up in front of Ryan, picked up the wood on the ground, pointed to the cut that had become blackened, and said, "In the first half of the blade, we have carved the [High Temperature Rune] and [Strengthening Rune], and the second half is the [Sharp Rune], and the [Light Rune] that runs through the whole.

The strengthened high temperature can break through the armor made of ordinary metal in an instant, like a heavy infantry made of fine iron, which can't withstand this high temperature, just like paper paste.

[Sharp Rune] has increased the sharpness of the blade by several levels, and sharpening iron like mud is definitely not an exaggeration, even the knight's steel-like bones can't resist it, and it will be split in half in an instant.

You can also feel the effect of [Light Rune], which can reduce the overall weight by about 50%, which can greatly save the user's physical strength. ”

Susan gave a detailed explanation of this rune war knife, and I have to say that it is indeed a very powerful weapon, and the general armor is like paper paste in front of it, and it makes no difference whether you wear it or not.

However, research is research after all, and Ryan soon discovered an important flaw in their design.

He pointed to the blade and said, "With so many runes, the consumption must be very large, especially the [High Temperature Rune], how long can a magic crystal last if it produces such a high temperature?"

Also, since this blade can withstand such high temperatures, the material is not ordinary, and as far as I know, every material that can withstand such high temperatures is very valuable, so the cost can go up. ”

Ryan thinks much more deeply than they do, he has fought from battles big and small, so he knows more about how flawed this knife is.

Realistically speaking, the high armor-piercing ability is indeed exciting, but weapons that cannot last long are not a soldier's trustworthy companion.

Susan nodded thoughtfully, they really hadn't thought that much about it when they were designing.

"I suggest that [High Temperature Rune] and [Sharp Rune] be separated and designed as two weapons with different focuses.

In the general battlefield, it is enough to have an armor-piercing ability like [Sharp Rune], and this level of sharpness can only be resisted by heavy armor, and heavy armor is very rare, and most of the time it will not appear on a large scale.

And in case such a unit appears, they can use the war knives made by the [High Temperature Rune], and they only need to use it to deal with heavy armor, so it is not a problem if they can't fight for a long time. Ryan was quick to give sound advice based on his extensive experience.

Susan calculated a little in her heart and said happily: "According to what you said, brother, if you only keep the [Sharp Rune], then the cost of a war knife will be reduced by half, and the efficiency of building will also be reduced by about thirty percent."

Because of the removal of the energy-consuming [High Temperature Runes] and most of the [Enhancement Runes], the use time of a magic crystal after activating the runes will also be increased by dozens of times from one hour, and the specific time will need to be further tested. ”

Soon, the improved rune knives were freshly baked, named [Sharp Type] and [High Temperature Type] respectively, but due to the limitation of the number of magic crystals, they could only be manufactured in small batches at present.

This made Ryan's heart to find the white crystal vein more and more urgent, but the expedition team with the treasure hunting mouse has been set off for half a year, and there is still no gain, all he can do is wait!

After the spring ploughing began, Ryan could not run to the laboratory every day, but had to inspect the cultivation situation in various towns and the degree of implementation of policies.

Because of the explosive growth of steel production in Cannar, Ryan ordered a large number of iron farming tools to be built, and the shoddy ones were exported.

The well-made ones are sold cheaply in Kanna, and if there are still those that cannot be bought, then don't panic, because with the formation of the Ministry of Agriculture, not only in the two cities, but also in the small towns below, agricultural bureaus have been set up.

Farmers who do not have iron farming tools can borrow them from the Agricultural Bureau with their "identity credentials" during the cultivation and harvesting season, which is completely free of charge, and can be reasonably worn out without losing money.

Unless it is time to return the farm tools, the farm tools are lost, or the sophisticated ones become shoddy, the compensation will be made according to the market price, which can be said to be very conscientious.

This move not only accelerates the efficiency and area of farming, but also further improves the credibility of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Government Affairs, and also allows the people to further understand the importance of "identity proof", and no longer dare to take it seriously, which represents welfare!

Killing three birds with one stone, Master Ryan never does loss-making business!

Ryan patrolled around, and sure enough, he found that many officials acted in disobedience, and some even took the opportunity to seek personal benefits for themselves, which had touched Ryan's bottom line.

However, if it is discovered or reported, once the Ministry of Supervision ascertains the facts, it will all be swept to the end, and those who should be in prison will be put in and squatted, those who should be hanged will be executed, and those who should be fined will be fined.

A set of combination punches scared the government affairs hall and didn't dare to come out, and the upper and lower styles and discipline took on a new look.

After Ryan returned to Dorman City to the cheers of the people, there was good news from the lab.

First of all, Kewell said that the selected seeds have begun a large area of trial planting, and the area of ten acres of land has been initially planted, and if the trial results are good, the reclamation area will be increased in the future, so that every household can eat magic crops!

There is also exciting news from Liman's rune laboratory, the device that Ryan said earlier can punch out the plate armor has been built and is ready for experiments.

Ryan was so excited to hear the news that he didn't even have time to return to the castle before rushing to the location of the experiment......

Due to the size of the machine, the experiment could not be carried out in the laboratory, but was moved to an open plain.

The device is three meters tall, five meters long, and more than two meters wide, and looks like a thick iron wall.

"It's a big guy that took a month to build, but I have a question, how did you get here when it's so big?" Ryan was amazed, and then asked his own doubts, as he didn't see a wheel like the Smasher.

"Of course it's my credit." Bray's round body appeared in Ryan's sight, and he said proudly, "This is what I transferred here using magic, how about it, amazing, right?" ”

Ryan's eyes widened suddenly, such a big iron lump, the weight must be calculated in tons, can he lift it?

"Don't listen to him brag, brother, don't look at this thing as if it is a big one, in fact, it is not solid inside, and it is engraved with a large number of light runes, and it weighs less than three thousand pounds." Susan stood up unceremoniously.

"How do you speak, Susan, three thousand pounds is not easy." Ryan touched his sister's blonde hair and said.

"What if I say he shipped it a dozen times separately?" Susan said quietly.

Ryan was dumbfounded, and transported it a dozen times? That's less than three hundred pounds at a time, come on, he can carry thousands of pounds at a time, okay?

Looking at Ryan's strange expression, Boris scratched his head with a smile, he is a magician, but he does not have the perverted strength of a knight.

Seeing this, Ryan changed the subject and said, "What is the principle of this thing?" ”

As if nothing had happened, Borray burst out again and said, "I'll come, I'll say." ”

He moved his little short legs, came to the side of the machine and said, "We named it [Rune Stamping Machine Type I], its function is very simple, that is, it has great power, it can stamping the metal plate into the desired pattern or shape according to the die. ”

Bray pointed to the front of the press, where five built-in metal hammers were neatly set up, with the corresponding dies underneath.

"Each hammer operates independently, and when you use it, you only need to pull the corresponding trigger, and the trigger is in the back.

And they consume a lot of energy, so each one has a [magic well], which is started in series, and they are uniformly installed on the top of the machine.

Its main working parts are wrapped behind the iron casing behind the hammer, and the general principle is that each hammer has a robotic arm that can control them to press down and up.

The runes and mechanics used in this are very complex and will not be explained in detail here.

To put it simply, when using, pull the corresponding trigger, lift the trigger, and the impact hammer will be lifted up and leave the mold. Press down on the trigger and the hammer will fall and smash against the metal plate in the mold.

The impact hammer itself is not only an unusually hard metal, but also has a large number of runes inscribed, the most important of which are the [Impact Rune] and the [Light Rune].

These two runes are independent connection paths, which are switched by pressing the trigger up and down, and the upward lifting trigger will connect the path to the [Light Rune], and the huge amount of runes will reduce its already not very heavy weight by more than 70%, so that the mechanical arm can be easily lifted.

When pressed down, it will switch to [Impact Runes] with the letting path, these runes are inconspicuous, but the moment the impact hammer touches the metal plate, a huge impact force is released, thus stamping the metal plate into shape. ”

Bray is talking about spittle, explaining in the simplest way possible the various components of this press and how it works.

Although what he said was very simple, everyone present knew that the degree of complexity was far from being able to be summed up in these few sentences, just because the layman did not need to understand it in such detail.

More than a month, from the proposal to the completion of the production, from scratch, this speed is really jaw-dropping, if it was in the previous life, the production speed must be faster than this, but that is the premise of the industrial system taking shape.

Now Canna is almost a blank slate, and it is indeed a miracle to have such efficiency.

Of course, there are many objective factors in it, such as magicians who can't be seen in a normal light, they are very hands-on and don't rely on tools like ordinary people.

There is also Sparrow's "super brain", the most difficult drawings, he completed about 60% of them alone, and the whole is a humanoid computer, which is simply perverted......

With the theory out of the way, the next step is to get to the actual operation, only to see Bray put the pieces of metal into the mold, and then Kopec starts the machine.

With a rumbling buzz, five [magic wells] operated at the same time, driving this behemoth.

As several triggers were pressed down together, the runes of the impact hammer all over the surface glowed white and were suddenly depressed.

"Boom-"

With a huge sound and sparks, the metal plates were stamped into the front half of the cuirass, and when you picked it up, there were dense patterns, which were very exquisite.

When the time comes, it is only necessary to attach the second half to it with leather, and a complete cuirass appears.

However, Ryan also found an interesting point, that is, the metal plates were all the same size, and the incisions were flat, what did they use to cut them?
