Chapter 44 The Blacksmith Shop (Part 2)
Chapter 44 Blacksmith Shop (Part 2)
In order to obtain this centaur longbow as soon as possible, Murphy immediately announced his appointment.
Prife became the clerk of the Athenian towns, and most of the affairs outside the port would be handed over to him. At the same time, Murphy would mobilize 15,000 silver coins from the treasury to him, and at the same time, he sent General Leodale and two formations of 160 Greek infantry to cross the deserted rocky highlands and go to the Centaur tribe to trade!
This is already a very high priority for an indigenous person.
It can be said that because of paying Murphy the centaur longbow, Prife suddenly became an indigenous person with the second only status in the town to Mrs. Elizabeth.
As for the affairs of the inner city, Murphy did not intend to let anyone intervene.
The inner city is related to his foundation, and he must firmly control everything there in his own hands.
The centaur longbow is of great value. With the funds of 15,000 silver coins, it is not enough to buy more than a hundred longbows. If this kind of longbow is calculated based on the price, it is definitely measured in gold!
In fact, when Murphy promised to grant Priffie a thousand acres of fertile land, he subconsciously implied that Priffie's remaining funds needed to be paid out by himself.
Working with smart people can always save a lot of trouble.
As a qualified slave merchant, Prife definitely has some experience in observing his words and expressions.
So when Murphy promised to reward him with a thousand acres of fertile land, he immediately expressed that he could take out some of the money to relieve his worries!
As a merchant who has operated the slave trade for more than ten years, Prife still has some wealth.
A smart businessman knows that the greater the investment, the greater the gain!
The more he invested in Murphy, the greater the benefits he could get when Murphy rose. In this regard, the most successful person in Chinese history was a businessman named Lu Buwei. Of course, Priffi cannot have such ability, and Murphy would never allow such a person to be born. I am afraid that as long as Priffi shows some ambitions that exceed his personal should have, his body will be buried in the loess the next day...
Murphy will never be ruthless when threatening his own life!
Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
The next day, General Leodale set out with Prife.
Murphy mobilized two Greek infantrymen to them to prevent attacks from other creatures on the way.
He was not a man who was used to putting all the eggs in a basket. After General Leodale set off, Murphy immediately handed the centaur longbow to the best craftsmen in the town, and asked them to study how to imitate it!
If you cannot buy a longbow from the centaur, as long as your territory can successfully make a copy, that's the same thing.
Archer!
This is definitely what the development of the territory is urgently needed at present.
The sharp view of the overall situation made Murphy realize that the so-called calm now is actually a sign on the eve of the storm! Because the information he collected through Lady Elizabeth during this period showed that in addition to the higher gnolls that constituted the tribal system, the orcs expelled by the Bemon clan were also ready to move on the loess slopes inlaid with the southern plains!
It also seems to covet the fertile land occupied by mankind!
Compared with the werewolves, these orcs with great civilizations are definitely more difficult to deal with!
This is a magnificent era and an era with the most turbulent situations in various situations.
Not only humans, but almost all races are facing challenges!
"Ding! Blacksmith shop is established! Data import! Import bronze process data, import iron smelting R&D data... Import progress 10%, 20%, 30%..."
When the prompt sound of the auxiliary system of Total War sounded in my ears, Murphy was stunned.
Has the blacksmith shop been established?
Murphy closed his eyes and evoked the auxiliary system's statistics in his mind.
"Blacksmith shop: The blacksmith shop provides high-quality weapons to the soldiers of the town. The blacksmiths here have superb smelting and forging techniques, far exceeding the ordinary blacksmiths who build agricultural tools. They are important members of society, because good weapons are always favored by warriors. Those blacksmiths who can build this part of the battlefield or turn into scimitars and swords are the precious wealth of the people! (Light weapons +1, Heavy weapons +1)"
Weapon upgrades have been recognized by the Total War auxiliary system?
Murphy was delighted. It seemed that the soldiers' full dressing could be arranged. In the era of cold weapons, the quality of weapons was definitely the top priority, and it could even directly affect the outcome of a battle! Murphy was not allowed to ignore it.
Sweeping his eyes, Murphy immediately found a row of data under the blacksmith shop.
"Bronze craft: This is the highest achievement of the bronze smelting and forging technology in BC! Although there were already iron tools in this era, bronze weapons were still mainstream. With the support of top bronze craftsmanship, the quality of bronze weapons is far better than ordinary iron tools in this era! However, the defect of bronze smelting also exists, that is, copper ores are much rarer than iron ores. Before human civilization completely entered the Iron Age, bronze objects were still an indispensable mainstream! (Equipment Evaluation - Bronze Level.)"
[Three equipment level data counted in the current stage of the auxiliary system of "Total War": Bronze - Fine Iron - Pure Steel.]
"Iron smelting and development: Although pig iron is not hard, iron tools in this era are also relatively soft. However, people have realized the prospect of this metal. In the near future, iron tools will completely replace bronzes and become the mainstream and pillar of society! Moreover, iron ore is much easier to find than copper ore. Now, blacksmiths are gradually exploring how to improve the technology of smelting iron and improve the quality of forged iron. (15% progress in fine iron research and development)"
"After the development of fine iron is completed, the blacksmith shop can be upgraded to an armor shop."
Murphy was immediately delighted after reading the data given by the auxiliary system of "Total War"!
It seems that as long as the progress bar of the auxiliary system is reached, the technology of urban iron smelting and forging will also be improved.
All he has to do now is wait patiently.
Wait for the trained blacksmiths to gradually explore and summarize the forging skills of iron tools from practical experience while upgrading the equipment for the soldiers! If the smelting technology of fine iron is successfully developed, then their town will be ahead of the forging skills of mankind in this era for the first time!
I just don’t know what kind of substance the essence gold extracted by the dwarf clan is.
Compared with pure steel, which one is better?
