Chapter 466: Meet
PS: Ask for collections.
Uzi, or Uzi steel ingots, this kind of forging out the three famous knives of the original world of the world of the big horse leather knife was finally excavated around the red fortress with the unremitting efforts of the sunset prospector, although the output of the Uzi mine is not very high, and the Uzi vein found by the sun does not set is actually hidden more than 100 meters underground, but the solidity of the Uzi steel ingot is very important for the strategic significance of the sun never sets, so that Sun Lin did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to establish a mine near the Uzi mine, Moreover, all the 10,000 strong orcs who were captured and successfully trained in the Red Fortress Defense Battle were put into this mine to work, and even in order to equip their soldiers with weapons made of Uzi steel ingots as soon as possible, Sun Lin also spent a lot of money to invite the craftsmen of the Blacksmith Association to come here to establish a branch, and let them work day and night to produce weapons made of Uzi steel ingots for the Great Empire on which the sun never sets. Of course, the main reason for letting the blacksmith of the Sunset Forge Association come instead of letting the blacksmith of the Sunset Quartermaster Department come is because the Sunset Quartermaster Department is good at producing armor, and as a large and small private job, most of the tasks are forging weapons rather than expensive armor such as plate armor (the sword is blunt and the user can polish it a few times by himself, but if the plate armor is broken, it is not something that ordinary people can fix by finding a blacksmith casually, after all, the technique of refining plate armor is not something that those users and junior blacksmiths can master, So not to mention repaired) is an expert in crafting weapons.
Obviously, the use of this strategic resource of the Uzi steel ingot in forging armor is simply a waste, and this is in Sun Lin's belief that with the help of the system, he is fully capable of the great empire that the sun never sets is fully capable of being equipped with hand cannons within 3 years, arquebuses in 5 years, late-stage smoothbore guns and even early rifles within 10 years, and he is even more convinced that it is a mistake to use Uzi steel ingots in making armor, after all, in the future, wearing this kind of wear can only increase the weight of the body and slow down the speed of movement. However, the plate armor that still leaves a hole in the body after being shot by a musket is almost useless except as an ornament, so instead of handing over these Uzi steel ingots to the Quartermaster of the Sunset to be refined, it is better to spend some money to hand them over to the Forge Association to use, so that even in the future, the Uzi steel ingots are also a strategic necessity, after all, the musket is not an automatic rifle, and the soldiers who do not set the sun need to use bayonets while playing platoon shooting.
And it turned out to be a very wise choice to hand over the Uzi ingots to the Forging Guild. If a combat weapon such as a knife is used as a mold, and the quality of the knife is judged purely by the grading method of the forging material, the general class of the knife is divided into iron knife, steel knife, pure steel knife, soft steel knife, green steel knife and treasure knife. By the way, the rank corresponding to the iron weapons equipped with the militia of the Sunset Empire is the Iron Knife level, and the weapons used by the second-line troops are at the steel knife level, as for the weapons equipped by the Sunset Professional Arms are pure steel knife level, which can also be regarded as the steel level, only the weapons equipped by the Imperial City Guards are like the Griffin Knights, the Sunset Royal Knight Guards and other troops, because they are the elite of the Sunset Empire Arms, Therefore, these soldiers are equipped with high-quality stainless steel, and the soft steel knife-level weapons that have been tempered by blacksmiths who have never set the sun.
But now, because of the pattern steel of the Uzi steel ingot, that is, the material for forging green steel knife-level weapons, as long as all the blacksmith workshops in the red fortress have not stopped for 2 years, and the Uzi steel mine around the red fortress has not stopped mining for 2 years, it is estimated that the weapons equipped with the weapons of the professional and above classes will be green steel knife-level weapons.
"Good knives! Sure enough, it's a good knife! Is that why the Blacksmiths Guild is here? But that's right, after all, apart from the trading hubs, the only places that attract the Sunset Blacksmith Guild are the regions that produce well-wrought-based ore. Looking at the sword forged in the shape of the Dama leather sword, Wu Cheng, as an admirer, completely ignored the place he was in and even in front of the hottest blacksmith's furnace, and admired the war knife in his hand, after all, just like heroes love beauty, there is no warlike general who does not like a war-related item. Of course, the latter words in Wu Cheng's words, he will only say them in his heart.
"If General Wu Cheng likes it, this treasure knife can be given to you, of course, if you want to follow Hao, it is not nothing." The diplomat smiled and said, then pretended to rub his hands to wipe away the cold sweat from his palms under Wu Cheng's gaze, and continued to smile at the young Western Qin General in front of him, and finally made his mouth tilt up slightly, and spit out the word "price" in jerky English.
"Huh............ General Wu Cheng, what do you mean by this, sending a knife is just the decision of His Royal Highness Leo, our commander-in-chief, he just wants to make friends with you, how can he make such a ........." Unfortunately, before the diplomat's words were finished, he was interrupted by Wu Cheng raising his left hand, which was swinging: "You want to say the word bribe, right?" Don't worry, I won't think so, after all, you guys are still very good at treating your allies when the sun never sets. But the sun never sets, but you also like to let your allies jump into a pit that they can't refuse. ”
"From the moment you brought me here, intentionally or unintentionally, to show me the Uzi ingot, and to have the master of the Blacksmiths' Guild come out and perform the forging of this good sword in front of me, I knew that your Lord Leo might have to add conditions, though I don't know what the price you will have to pay? But thinking about the situation around the Red Fortress, after appreciating the knife in front of me, I think I've guessed the conditions you want to attach to the sun never sets, so ......... I want to know what kind of price we need to pay in Xiqin? ”
"Papapa............" As the praise sounded, a man about 30 years old who never sets the sun appeared in the blacksmith workshop, and said with a smile under Wu Cheng's gaze, "You are worthy of being a new star in Western Qin, I didn't expect you to not only have a high talent in military affairs, but also very strong in politics, but I am actually more willing to talk to a smart person like Your Excellency than playing dumb riddles." ”
"Your Excellency is ............." In fact, Wu Cheng now already knows who this person is in front of him, after all, the person who can make the diplomat next to him show an extremely respectful expression is estimated to be only three in this red fortress, one of which he has already seen, and the other is from the half-orc clan, plus he speaks fluent Qin, as long as he thinks that the main purpose of his visit this time is to discuss the mining issues around the red fortress with Sunset, the identity of this Sunsetman is self-evident.
"Hello, my name is Leo, and I asked my lieutenant to ask you out this time to discuss Uzigang and the Orc slaves."
