397.The new knight in the Riptide Knights-[monthly ticket plus update 4/10] (page 1/2)
While the five collective farms controlled by small players began to increase their specialization and development, the Transian First National Arsenal, which had been built a week ago in the Undermar Hills of Transia, was officially put into production. delayed for three days.
As the director of the factory, Brother Zhongzhong has been very anxious and angry these days. However, with his current engineering level, he is completely unable to complete the upgrade of the old production line alone. Even with the help of "Transia's first engineer" Earl Sharon, The progress of this matter is also incredibly slow..
Although Brother Zhongzhong had made a simple transformation plan through "the drawings found in the office trash can" and was fully recognized by Xiao Xuelun, both the master and the apprentice underestimated the difficulty of transforming a production line..
Even the production lines of the steam era were complex structures with several large machines connected in parallel..
What's more, what Brother Zhongzhong puts in front of is fantasy steampunk stuff. He himself is a beginner, and he can hardly even understand the working principle of this thing. To be honest, it is just Xiao Xuelun who casts the replacement workpieces and The template took almost a week.
“It's barely done now, and I guess it's barely usable after it's installed. But after all, it's not an original part. There will definitely be a lot of wear and tear during use, and there will be certain tolerances..”
In the arsenal, little Sharon, who was wearing a technician's uniform, pushed up the goggles on her forehead. She looked at the skilled workers of the Cape family in front of her, taking some locally recruited apprentices to make the workpieces cast by her and her disciple Zhong Zhongge. Replaced to the original production machine.
She said with a worried look on her face：
“We still overestimate our abilities and underestimate the difficulties we face. This is not something we can do by hand now. We must seek help from professionals..”
“ah？”
Brother Zhongzhong next to him was moving his cool robot hand. He was wearing a "capitalist suit" and rolled up his sleeves. There were still oil stains on his face. Hearing what his little mentor said, he frowned and asked.：
“But you are already the most powerful professional in this field in Transia. There is no more powerful engineer than you nearby. Do you want to go to the Genoa Peninsula to find those halflings?？”
“This is indeed a way. Isn’t the Batasin Chamber of Commerce going to purchase it next month? We can order some tools and ready-made molds from the halfling factory, they have this business there.”
Little Sharon flapped her wings and levitated, observing the entire assembly process in the air. She said to Brother Zhongzhong：
“The production line in front of you was also ordered by my father in the halfling factory through my mother's connections. Transia does not have the ability to manufacture its own production lines..
My mother's connections in the Genoa Peninsula should still be there. Halflings can live for a long time and they are not willing to participate in the disputes on the mainland. The peace there has been maintained for hundreds of years. It is precisely because of that environment that the halflings can feel at ease. Come and do research and improve in a down-to-earth manner.”
“But it’s actually too late, mentor.”
Brother Zhongzhong immediately shook his head and said：
“There are only more than three months left before the arrival of the Black Disaster. Even if the halflings work overtime to help us build the production line, we will not have enough time to start production when they are delivered. Such a solution cannot allow Mr. Murphy Satisfied.
we have to find another way.”
“Then go to the Dark Mountains！”
Xiao Sharon narrowed her eyes and said firmly：
“Find that mad master of engineering, Suik Flywheel! The Hungry Mountain where he is located is not very far from the defense line of the Barren Mountain outside the Dark Mountain. As long as our warriors and soldiers can break through the blockade of the Filthy Swamp, it only takes one or two days of hard work to reach the station of Suk Feilun..
Since that crazy engineer who enjoys strife can sell 3,000 sets of calculation orbs to the dwarf marshal, it proves that he has a systematic manufacturing tool in his hands..
As long as we can make a deal with him, we can get everything we need faster.
Because the Halflings do not participate in the war, such military industrial orders need to be approved by the Steam Lords Council, and the decision-making efficiency of any parliamentary organization is not very high..
Perhaps the best way is to find someone who can be more 'flexible' to cooperate with Suluke Flywheel..”
“We can do both！”
Brother Zhongzhong thought for a moment and replied：
“You can only walk steadily on two legs. In the name of supporting the Black Disaster, you asked the Steam Lords to provide aid to Transia, and then sent people to find Suoke Flywheel. I guess the calculation orb in Lord Murphy's hand may not be enough. , he also continued to replenish this strategic material.”
“Well, let me write the report then.”
Little Earl Sharon nodded. She had always been a decisive person and said to Brother Zhongzhong in the air.：
“You just need to be famous after the report. You can watch here first. After they are installed, don't connect them to the steam engine to start production. I also need to conduct a final inspection of the entire production line to confirm that everything is correct before manufacturing..
This is the only production line we have on hand at the moment. If it breaks, we won’t be able to play with it..”
“Okay, mentor, I'll watch them..”
Brother Zhongzhong responded crisply, watched Xiao Sharon leave, and then returned his gaze to the production line that was being overhauled in front of him..
His eyes swept over the strangely shaped and complex gear and lever structures. This was completely different from the fully automatic military supplies production line in his memory, and it was not even the slightest bit worse..
“According to Sharon, this production line can produce 200 rifle parts and thousands of bullets a day, but the subsequent polishing and assembly will take time. The hardwood promised by the Riptide Knights has not yet arrived..
Damn it！
This is still a long way from achieving scale..”
Brother Zhongzhong took out his notebook with a painful look on his face and wrote some drawings. He looked at the ambition of making a semi-automatic plan in three months and thought to himself that he was really a simple little cutie before, so he closed his eyes and wrote that Cross out arrogant ambition.
He reviewed the current situation and wrote a new goal for himself. It would be good if he could ensure that bolt-action rifles and some lever-action shotguns were distributed to the Cadman People's Army before the Black Disaster broke out..
“But if there really is a war, just having a gun won't do it.！”
Brother Zhongzhong recalled the "small-scale wars" he participated in when he was young. He rubbed his chin with his cool robot hand and thought in his mind：
“The command system and liaison system are really big problems. It is said that the short man Loren is trying to use the calculation orb to cooperate with the user to build a command network in the entire army system. It sounds very fantastic, but this command system relies heavily on The arithmetic orb thing.
This thing is fine for players to use, but if you really want to fight, I'm afraid it's too delicate..
If you encounter a complex psychic environment, it will be ineffective, or if a psychic master like Mrs. Tracey throws a large-scale silence spell, half of the system will be destroyed..
We need a liaison weapon that can be used by ordinary soldiers and is low-cost and can be distributed on a large scale..
radio? Walkie-talkie? There is also a simple fire control system for artillerymen.？
Um.
Very provocative.”
Thinking of this, Brother Zhongzhong immediately planned to go offline to search for some drawings to study, but he suddenly realized that there was no need to do these things by himself..
He now has "professional talent" in his group.
By the way, Menghaha has been in the game for almost a week. I heard that she hangs out with the girls every day and "travels around" and is very happy. Let alone reporting, she doesn't even get a report..
Letting you pretend is not letting you fish! Sister, you really came here to enjoy the game？
no！
You have to find something for this physicist to do, otherwise she will really become a salted fish..
——
“Quick, quick, quick! Load these hardwoods onto the truck and take them to the arsenal! Our orders are three full days late. Brother Zhongzhong is probably going to scold me..”
In the stronghold camp at Cadman's Great River Bend, not far from the First National Arsenal of Transia, Taipal, who came here from the "Novice Village" to "guide the work", had just dismounted when he saw Uncle Fording in front of him. Anxious and angry, he greeted a group of lumberjacks to load the pre-processed black hardwood into the truck..
It's not just the workers who are working, the other brothers of the Riptide Knights are here to help whenever they have nothing to do..
There was a large area of hardwood around the stronghold they chose that could be used for making gun stocks and gun bodies. Therefore, the arsenal signed a business contract with the Knights. Unexpectedly, something went wrong with the first delivery..
