"What are you fighting for? It's weapons and equipment!" Chang Hao pointed to the pitted stone stick in Panta's arms, and said, "Let you fight with trolls with this kind of weapon, what's the difference between that and letting you go to death?"

Panta blushed and tried to say something, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.

The weapons used by the panda people in the past were short-handled iron spears, and iron tools are the most valuable things in any tribe, so the panda people love weapons very much, and it can be said that they have tried their best to maintain these iron spears. Unfortunately, iron tools are durable, and they will always rust no matter what, and in the end they lost their iron weapons, and they could not afford to buy expensive iron weapons from the human black merchants, so they had to use the stones that were everywhere to grind them into sticks.

Panta knew very well that fighting ogres with stone sticks was enough, and if it was against stronger trolls, stone sticks were not much different from toys.

"I've also discovered this problem before, the weapons and equipment of our warriors are currently far behind the configuration of the regular orc army, and everyone has always relied on their own physical fitness to win the victory, but this kind of road will not go far. So during this time, I have been discussing with the disciples of Weishui Sword House to create new weapons for panda people and bear people. The shortcomings of the lack of smelting and forging technology in the orc kingdom are not a problem at all in our Bright Field. Chang Ge said and glanced at Yan Qi from the corner of his eye.

Herbert and Panta were shocked when they heard this.

"Some time ago, we drew the blueprints of the triangular whale hunting gun and the fine iron heavy sword according to the fighting style and fighting habits of the panda and bear people. Yan Qi was stared at by Chang Ge, and hurriedly took out a few design drawings and handed them to Chang Hao, "We now have some high-quality refined iron ore and captured second-hand steel armor in our hands, and we can immediately put into production about three hundred triangular whale hunting guns." ”

Chang Hao glanced at the design drawings, nodded, pointed to one of the drawings and said, "The blade position of the three-edged whale hunting gun can open a few more blood grooves, so that the wound cannot be healed." And you can add some tiny barbs so that the whale lance pierces the troll's body, and if they want to pull it out, they have to take it along with the flesh. ”

Yan Ji quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, senior brother is really ruthless.

"Boss, the obsidian broadsword you gave us to chop wood in the morning is very easy to use, as long as you ask Brother Yan to sharpen it, it is not a problem to go into battle to kill the enemy. Herbert had learned this time, and whispered a suggestion from the side.

"Adopted. Chang Hao waved his hand, it couldn't be better to save materials.

"Then the problem of weapons is solved, but armor is a problem. Yan Qi gestured with his hand to the size of the bearman warrior and said: "The orcs are tall, and if they want to make suitable steel armor, they need a lot of refined iron ore, and our reserves are only enough to make the three-edged whale hunting gun, which is still pulled out of the materials used to build the main hall." ”

"The materials are given priority to Herbert and Panta for their weapon manufacturing, and the main hall project is not at a moment's notice, as for the armor problem..."Chang Hao was a little embarrassed for a while.

When he was in the military camp of Lonia City before, he and several officers had learned about the cost of steel armor, and the price of a single piece required 1,000 gold coins, which was still the lowest price that the human black merchant did not ask for.

In addition to the cattle and sheep that gave him his domain and herd, the temple also had 2,000 gold coins. He originally thought that he could use the 2,000 gold coins to change his subordinates into decent outfits, but now it seems that he can only buy 2 sets of steel armor, or the kind that he doesn't know where to buy. What's the trouble?

"Boss, we don't need to wear steel armor, just leather armor, steel armor is too heavy, it will hinder the speed of our attack. Panta and Herbert exchanged glances and said in unison.

They were moved from the bottom of their hearts, they had never heard of a lord who did not build a hall with a status symbol, and was willing to empty his pockets to buy equipment for his followers.

When Herbert was still in the army, he often heard the robes talk about the news that some noble lords had inappropriately called their followers below, insulting and scolding them at every turn, making them do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and making them wear cotton wool not much thicker than paper to rush to the front as cannon fodder during the war, and even the pension had to be deducted if they died in battle.

Admittedly, orc warriors tend to have a tendon in their heads, but if you treat them well and exchange sincerity for sincerity, they will remember it for a lifetime.

The young boss in front of them is enough for them to remember for a few lifetimes.

The boss thinks so much about them, they have to do something about the boss too.

"Is there anyone selling leather armor in Kotave City?" Chang Hao asked.

"Some bosses, their leather armor is made of yak leather and python skin, and then woven with completely dried and deoiled grapevine bunches, the defense is very guaranteed, the price is 50 gold coins, and there are discounts if you purchase a large amount..."

Panta answered the boss's question with some humility. Because when they first arrived in Cotave City, Chang Ge and Emilia took a fancy to the well-made leather armor at a glance, but unfortunately their hundreds of bears and panda people were so good to eat that most of the gold coins went into their stomachs, and then there were not a few left.

But before Panta's words fell, a large heavy cloth bag smashed into his arms, and each magic crystal in it reflected the tongue of fire that jumped on the campfire.

Panta's breathing immediately became heavy.

"In the past two days, you have organized a purchase in the city, buy 500 sets of leather armor first, and then count what materials other people need, and buy them back. Chang Hao advised: "You take these magic crystals into the city and exchange them for gold coins, don't try to save trouble and sell them to the same family, you have to sell them in different places, don't let anyone notice you." ”

Panta nodded emphatically, he understood the truth that wealth should not be exposed.

Seeing that the night was already very deep, Chang Hao announced that tonight's cadre meeting would end here, and Panta twisted his big ass to count the list of supplies that everyone urgently needed to buy in the city. Not only did he have to count all kinds of strange things, but he also had to make proper arrangements for the safe return of the baggage at that time. The troll tribe in the Bright Wild seems to have their sights on them, but any sloppiness could cost them dearly.

Everyone dispersed to rest, except for Chang Ge and Emilia who were still sitting by the campfire and did not leave.

"Do we have the ability to develop modern technology now?" Chang Hao added a piece of wood to the campfire, and the jumping flames suddenly skyrocketed in the crackling sound.

"Chang Ge and I have been discussing this matter when we were fishing for fish and shrimp today. In terms of the current situation of being poor and white in Guangmingye, to develop modern science and technology is tantamount to making it difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. ”

"Going from scratch is the hardest step. Emilia whispered.

"Modern technology is not realistic, but modern technology can still be achieved in a short period of time. Chang Ge snapped his fingers and said: "For example, steam engines and internal combustion engines, which can improve productivity, can be built quickly as long as the materials are in place." ”

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces. I didn't think there was anything special about this sentence when I was in school before, but now I taste it again, it's simply the truth. Chang Hao rolled his eyes, "But you won't really tell me that if we dare to love us, we can only reproduce the level of science and technology around the 18th century?

"Although we stand on the shoulders of giants, we can only start at the level of the steam engine and then seek to improve. The time for us to transition to the next level of technology does not need to follow the course of history. Chang Ge's seductive expression when he said this was the same as that of the history teacher.

"And with the help of magic, it can also make the speed of technological progress faster to a large extent, and maybe there will be unexpected improvements. Emilia smiled.

"The legacy of the native tribes of Guangye needs to be solved as soon as possible, there is still a human empire in the north, the footsteps of the war are actually very close, and the temple has already given me several preventive shots. ”

Chang Hao took a deep breath and finally asked: "With enough resources, within a year, can we restore to the scientific and technological level of World War II?"

Chang Ge and Emilia looked at each other and smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes!"
