Chapter 63: Arsenal, Forge a Heavy Sword
The guild hall was less than three hundred meters away from the arsenal, and less than a minute later, Zhang Ran came to the gate of the arsenal.
Compared to the guild hall, the exterior of the arsenal can be described as heavily guarded, and on the outside of the arsenal is a three-meter-high, very thick city wall, all made of reinforced concrete, and covered with a thick layer of steel plates, which cannot be penetrated even by the full force of a level 3 evolutionary.
On top of the city walls, there are several bunkers, each of which has a heavy machine gun, which is also arranged at a very particular angle, allowing for cross-fire to form the most effective fire network.
For automatic rifles, it is basically difficult to threaten level 3 and above evolutionaries, but for heavy machine guns, their power is a step higher than that of automatic rifles, and if they hit head-on, even level 7 evolutionaries with a constitution of 15 points will be injured or even killed if they have no defensive ability.
In addition to the heavy machine gun, through the detection of the chip, there are several evolutionaries guarding around the city wall, and the strongest one of them is a level 5 evolutionary, mastering two major abilities.
In the face of such a combination, even if a level 7 or even level 8 evolutionary came to attack, it would be difficult to break through the defense line of the arsenal at once, and it was enough to delay until other strong people in the vicinity came to support, which could be said to be impregnable.
"Stop!"
Zhang Ran walked to the door of the arsenal, and several heavy machine guns on the city wall immediately pointed at him, and one of the guards also shouted.
"I'm here to customize weapons, and here are my credentials. ”
Stopping, Zhang Ran immediately took out a certificate issued by the office center from the marching backpack behind him and showed it to the guards.
"Okay, come here, hand in your weapons, and you're ready to go inside. ”
Although Zhang Ran was dozens of meters away from those guards, for evolutionaries, their eyesight was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so several guards also motioned for Zhang Ran to continue walking.
Before coming to the arsenal, Zhang Ran had already made preparations and did not carry any weapons, so he also passed the inspection of the guards smoothly and continued to move forward. Before leaving, he also handed a silver Black Hawk coin with a face value of 100 as a tip, which was one of the default rules.
Passing through the wall, Zhang Ran continued to walk forward, towards the arsenal with a central area of tens of thousands of square meters, and as Zhang Ran moved forward, he also felt the temperature in the environment rising.
Arriving at the gate of the arsenal, it is also guarded by several evolutionaries armed with rifles and wearing bulletproof vests.
For such evolutionaries with E-class abilities, it is difficult for them to kill mutants of the same level, and for some evolutionaries who like to be comfortable, they will choose to engage in defensive work.
For these guards, they are equivalent to giving up the opportunity to continue to get stronger, but it is better to be safe, and in addition, the income is not low, with a basic salary of 3,000 Black Hawk coins per month, plus the tips received, it is also an option to live a rather good life.
Showing the voucher again, and handing over a tip of one hundred Black Eagle Coins, Zhang Ran also got permission from the guards and walked into the interior of the arsenal.
As soon as he walked into the arsenal, Zhang Ran suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, and at the same time, the sound of "clanging" sounded in the air, so it was not lively.
Looking around, Zhang Ran also found a large number of machine tools, blast furnaces, forging tables and other equipment, and at the same time, there were hundreds of workers and more than a dozen craftsmen working here, quenching all kinds of alloys and forging all kinds of weapons.
On a forging table in the distance, Zhang Ran saw a craftsman's hand flashing with red light, and in front of him, a hot ball of molten steel was rapidly deforming, and in less than twenty seconds, a standard long sword had been built, and then the craftsman also threw the finished long sword into the quenching liquid next to it for quenching.
This is the wonderful use of the "forging" ability of the psionic domain, for the evolutionary with the ability of "forging", they can freely shape the steel and create all kinds of weapons, and the sharpness and toughness of the weapon will exceed that of the machine tool, which is a very practical D-level ability.
While walking forward, Zhang Ran also used the chip to probe the surrounding workers and craftsmen.
In the arsenal, all the workers are quasi-evolutionaries, and only with such strength can these workers have the ability to process those low-grade alloys, and although these workers earn less than the evolutionaries, they can also earn one or two thousand Black Hawk coins a month, and they also belong to the middle class in Black Hawk City.
As for those craftsmen, all of them have reached the level of evolutionary powers, and at the same time, they basically have psionic and auxiliary domain abilities such as "forging", "alloy reinforcement", "equipment enchantment", "metal enhancement", etc., which can further process and even enchant metals and weapons.
Compared with evolutionaries of the same level, the income of these craftsmen is undoubtedly much higher, and the working environment is relatively safe, and there is no need to fight with mutant beasts, but correspondingly, it is more difficult for them to obtain evolutionary energy, and they generally advance by taking genetic enhancement potions, and the upper limit of promotion is not high.
said to Zhang Er. Before going to the arsenal, he had already decided on the weapon he wanted to forge - the heavy sword, compared to the military thorn, although the local lethality of the heavy sword is slightly lower, but the overall attack power is very powerful, coupled with its weight, it is very useful against those large mutant beasts.
After deciding on the weapon he needed, Zhang Ran also designed a heavy sword that best suited his physical condition through the chip and ergonomics. At the same time, taking advantage of his spare time, Zhang Ran also drew the heavy sword drawings provided by the chip, and went to the office center to apply for the voucher, now he only needs to pay the funds and wait for a certain amount of time to get the weapon he wants.
"Sir, if you need to customize a weapon, please provide the corresponding drawings, of course, you can also spend a certain amount of Black Hawk Coins, let me customize the weapon on the spot according to your needs. ”
Coming to a craftsman from the arsenal, Zhang Ran explained his intention, and the craftsman replied lightly.
"I have my own drawings, and it would be nice to customize them according to them. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Ran took out a roll of drawings made of special materials from the marching backpack behind him and spread it out in front of the craftsman.
"Okay, show me. ”
Looking at the scroll of drawings in front of him, the craftsman also observed carefully, and the look in his eyes changed from casual to serious.
