Chapter 300 Control the general trend!
The leading dwarf Rollin knew the dwarf prince Mohus whom he met in Gaoshan Town.≧
"Welcome, my old friend." Rollin was very happy to see this guy.
"The commander of the Silver Crusader, Father and I are honored to have your trust. So as soon as we receive your letter, we come immediately." Mohus smiled.
Luo Lin's letter of help was scattered all over the continent. As long as he thought that there was some strength and that would be helpful to fighting the Dark Legion, he sent all the letters. Of course, the dwarves who were famous for forging the continent were of course the top priority.
This time Mohus brought many dwarves, more than 5,000, of which 4,000 were dwarf warriors, and the other 1,000, depending on their appearance, they should be blacksmiths.
In addition to the first time, they also brought 10,000 sets of ordinary nail armor and 20,000 iron swords, which just solved the urgent need for the bridge defenders to lack equipment.
You should know that the population of dwarves is only about 200,000. Apart from equipment, there are 5,000 people, and the assistance is of great importance.
Rollin first arranged these dwarf warriors, and then held a small banquet on the upper floor of the fortress, specially invited Mohus and several dwarf forging masters who came with him.
The banquet is very simple, the food is not much, and it is not exquisite. The best food is a few ink-headed carp that are caught from the Black Water River.
After the banquet, Luo Lin said a little apologetically: "The mainland is in trouble, there is a shortage of supplies, and the food is a bit simple. I hope you don't mind."
Mohus waved his hand, picked up the ale on the table without any concern and took a sip, and said with a smile: "If Marshal, you really treat us with the delicacies, I would look down on you. Look at the many refugees below. We are not at ease when eating."
The dwarf said it well. Rollin laughed loudly: "Come on. Try this fish. Although there are not many ingredients, the chefs in the army are still very good at cooking, and the cooking is very delicious."
Several dwarves nodded, ate food and drank ale, not at all restrained, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After three rounds of wine, Rollin said, "His Royal Highness Mohusse, to be honest, what I value most this time is the blacksmith you brought. What we lack the most now is weapons and equipment."
"Haha, I know your difficulties. Don't worry, everyone has very exquisite skills in these thousand blacksmiths. If they work together, as long as there are enough iron materials and blacksmith shops, they can make two thousand iron swords a day, and sixty thousand iron swords a month. It's enough to make up for your weapon gap." Mohuss took another sip of ale, fresh fish with ale. He felt very good, and it had a unique flavor compared to his food in the mountains.
The speed is indeed good, but Rollin was not very satisfied: "What if it is a steel sword with better quality?"
The iron sword is too brittle and easy to break, which is very fatal in combat. If the steel sword can be supplied, Rollin hopes to provide steel weapons to the defenders, which can greatly improve the lethality of the army.
Although this improvement is not big, if it is enlarged to an army of 100,000 people, this improvement cannot be ignored. Perhaps because of this improvement, the soldiers can kill thousands more soldiers and may even decide the outcome of the battle.
So Rollin hopes to do his best to improve his military equipment.
"Steel Sword?" Mo Hughes frowned slightly: "It takes a lot of effort to build a steel sword. If you want a steel sword, the temperature of the fire will be higher and the forging process will be more complicated. For one thousand of us, we can only build up at most five hundred in a day. You must know that some weapons need to be part of them, and self-defense equipment also needs to be built. I'm afraid there is no time, right?"
Luo Lin smiled and clapped his hands. A servant immediately walked up with a small pile of gray-black "gravel".
"Is this?" asked a forging master, who sensitively felt that it was a kind of charcoal, but he had never seen such a thing.
Luo Lin introduced: "This is charcoal refined through special techniques, and it was invention of an alchemist. With a specific stove and blower, its burning temperature can easily melt krypton gold!"
The stove and blower were created by craftsmen from Maple Leaf County. Without much guidance, he made some requests and issued a huge reward, just like what he did in Maple Leaf City.
Stimulated by gold coins, half a year later, craftsmen stayed at the finished product to collect the bonus.
The forging master was shocked, and reached out to take a piece of hot charcoal in his hand and looked at it. He pinched it again, and finally put it in his mouth to taste it. Finally, he nodded and said, "I feel that the fire charcoal contains condensed fire elements. I think you are right. Marshal, I am also very interested in the stove and blower you mentioned. Can you show me the drawings?"
"Of course." Rollin clapped his hands, and a servant took a stack of drawings.
Nowadays, everyone is fighting against the Dark Legion with all their might. These dwarves are also good enough, so naturally there is no need for him to hide his own personalities, and Rollin is sure that he will never suffer any losses.
The dwarf immediately took out a crystal lens, then lay on the drawing and looked carefully.
Everyone did not interrupt him and let him study it.
About half an hour later, the dwarf nodded and said, "The design is very exquisite. I feel that this thing is better than our lava forge. To be honest, if he is used to build a steel sword, it would be a bit useless."
He is worthy of being a master. After only half an hour of research, he almost fully understood this device.
Then Rolin spoke out his purpose: "Your Highness, I think there are too few dwarf blacksmiths you brought. I think I can send a large number of young men to be apprentices for you to help complete some simple but cumbersome repetitive work, which should improve a lot of efficiency. What do you think?"
The dwarves have always blocked and kept the technology of forging the human race confidential. To be honest, the method proposed by Rollin is already playing the edge ball.
Mohus exchanged gazes with several dwarf forging masters. Rollin saw the master who had just looked at the drawings and nodded slightly, and then Mohus said, "This is a good idea."
The human race has given great sincerity and has brought out a very excellent set of forging equipment without any concealment. Of course, they cannot give nothing, and they are just apprentices. Even if they are allowed to watch from the side, as long as they hide it a little, these apprentices will not learn much.
Rolling immediately smiled, raised his glass and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation."
He did not ask those apprentices to learn the essence of dwarf forging techniques, as long as they could learn 70% or 80% of dwarfs' abilities.
By then, he would use fine division of labor to open a forging factory and build weapons and equipment on a large scale. Although these equipment is definitely not as good as dwarf products in terms of quality, the advantage of the human race is that it has a large population and a large number of weapons to create. It can quickly be self-sufficient and meet the needs of all human warriors.
No one is a fool. Quantitative change will always cause qualitative change. Smart people will always emerge and start to improve the technology bit by bit. In a few years, the human forging technique may become a unique one and compete with the dwarves.
To be honest, when discussing the deal with Horn with the Dwarf, Horn opposed sharing the forging stove and blower.
In Horn's opinion, this is a good thing that the human race finally made. How could it be learned from the dwarves? Those dwarves have always kept their forging techniques tightly.
But Rollin finally convinced him with a set of reasons.
His reason is very simple, which means that one of the biggest advantages of the human race is that there are many people.
The entire dwarf tribe has more than 200,000 people, but although the human race has suffered a disaster, the population of the entire northern border is now more than 5 million, an order of magnitude higher than the dwarf tribe.
A very simple truth, for example, a new technology can improve the combat effectiveness of a warrior by 10%. If it is popular among dwarves, but the population of dwarves is only a little over 200,000 and warriors is only more than 10,000, then the overall increase will be more than 100. But the number of humans is more than 20 times that of dwarves, and the overall increase of combat effectiveness will exceed 2,000.
The effect of each technology on humans and dwarves will have huge aversion, and humans always take huge advantages.
This is just the simplest reasoning, not including more opportunities and more innovations brought by a huge population.
So, it seems that neither side suffers a loss in this transaction, but a few years later, the population advantage of the human race begins to play, and the dwarves are probably going to cry without tears.
This is Rollin's deepest consideration. Because of his wisdom and vision, he seems very sincere in his transactions with the dwarfs and does not hide his own selfishness.
Dwarves are passionate races. As long as they feel your sincerity and you treat him sincerely, they will immediately repay the greatest sincerity.
This meal made the guests and guests have fun.
Afterwards, several forging masters did not rest for a moment, and immediately took most of the blacksmiths to board the merchant ship to Fix Island.
"Time is very tight, we have to create enough equipment and weapons as soon as possible!" This is the words of the Dwarf Master, showing sincerity.
Fix Island is far away from overseas and you don’t have to worry about defense issues. It is the best base. The dwarves set up blacksmith shops, so naturally they are on the island.
Luo Lin's move is not only effective for the dwarves, but also very effective when the elves come in the future, facing elves whose population is less than one million and whose reproduction speed is far less than that of the human race.
With a large number of people, this is the most inconspicuous race, but in fact it is also the greatest advantage of the race.
Just a pair of spiritual eyes and a pair of wonderful hands can completely dig out the huge power and energy contained in it.
It can be said that if the human race can always follow Luo Lin's ideas and face all races with an open attitude, then this race will reach the peak of the continent with an irresistible trend until it becomes the indisputable continental master.
This is the wisdom to control the general trend. Fortunately, in this world, not many people understand this.
The dwarf was just the first wave of support. Five days later, Aiona from the far north was also back. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
