MC's career as foreign lord

"Then, I'm counting on you guys next!" Zhou Ren said, "Reduce costs and increase production speed. As long as you can do it, I won't be stingy with rewards!"

"Your will!" the dwarves replied energetically. They were inherently obsessed with artisan creations. Now that they had discovered a new type of artisan creation, and even had the lord's reward, they were, of course, extremely motivated.

"I will give you a new furnace that can smelt some special metals. Don't worry about the output, try to put as much as you can into the warheads. I need you to test the damage level and power of these warheads!" Zhou Ren added.

This was something he had been preparing to make from the very beginning, a brand-new Artisan Soul Smelting Furnace located on the ground. This was a big gift package for the dwarves.

Since the dwarves had such strength, he didn't mind giving them something even better. A furnace from the Artisan Soul could help them smelt metals faster and create various creations better.

"Huh? If I throw gunpowder into the Artisan Soul and then make a bullet mold, can I directly use the Artisan Soul's smelting furnace to make bullets?" Zhou Ren thought.

Don't mention anything unreasonable, nothing in MC is reasonable. Everything contains strange and bizarre content. Even various metals can be smelted into strange and bizarre shapes. What's wrong with me smelting gunpowder and metal together?

He decided to do it right away. He would let the dwarves continue to build these firearms and make them the best they could be. As for bullets, he only needed to make a small amount. The seamless steel pipes, which were originally a problem for all countries in the world due to the direct plasticity of metal, were not worth mentioning in their hands.

As for some other mechanical and design problems, the dwarves could always find solutions with some strange methods. As for the problems that could not be solved, including the sustainability and longevity of magic, were not problems for Zhou Ren.

He possessed all kinds of magical materials, and even had two special magic masters, possessing various characteristics that even one or two races could not match, as well as the Tree of Life, a material that could be compatible with all magic.

For him, these problems were not problems at all, but just a bonus. What needed to be solved now was the problem of mass production on the assembly line, and the method of making bullets.

If the dwarves could really make the assembly line state of firearms well, he could even use the Artisan Soul to make a simple stamping tool, or even a more bizarre device, but it would need the help of mechanical power.

For assembly line engineering, mechanical power is the truly powerful thing, whether it is various simple manufacturing methods, or particularly powerful assembly lines, conveyor belts, and even various gears and bearings, are more powerful than the most advanced things in this world.

Following the track, he came to this forging area again. It was rare to see no one here. Since learning that they could create some items at will, the two girls often came here.

Even the two liches would come here every day. They made some strange templates and created many weapons and equipment with special purposes but little practical significance in the boxes next to them.

For example, the Dragon Claw with a bit of thunder mark. The thunder was still something they ran to the Thunder Pool to find a pile of lightning elements to shape together.

However, the actual use is somewhat limited. Not only can it not produce thunder and lightning effects, but it is also easy to get electrocuted. It seems that only blue dragons and gold dragons can use it.

Blue dragons are because they are electric dragons themselves, and gold dragons have the most resilient skin among all dragons, and can withstand this little bit of lightning damage.

Several people discussed for a while and decided to trick a gold dragon into using this Thunder Claw at the next auction. As for the display method, let Anna take some potions that can resist lightning and wave it around.

In addition, there is a set of full body armor made by a certain elf princess. That is really full body armor that can cover a person completely. The person wearing it inside is like wearing an iron can, possessing the resistance and knock-back ability of an iron golem, but the problem is that you can't see anything.

Moreover, the most坑爹 part of this armor is that if you make two holes in it, its own resistance and knock-back ability will be reduced to an ordinary level, and it is not as useful as a sword.

It is this kind of tasteless but particularly interesting thing that has been created a lot. The most interesting thing is the Skeleton Midas Hand made by Sandru and Mosa together.

The reason it is interesting is because this Skeleton Midas Hand can only be used by legendary liches. They are a magic staff made by smelting bones. The function is that the skeleton touched by the staff will become a skeleton with intelligence.

However, legendary liches themselves can give skeletons intelligence, so this special effect is useless. Even ordinary people, even legendary mages, only get a particularly strong magic staff when they get this skeleton staff, which can release some special magic, because the skeleton imprint on it has a very good magic conduction effect.

But it does not have the effect of giving skeletons intelligence, so this staff can only be used by liches. This is something that looks very powerful, but has no practical use at all.

Zhou Ren came up with a special use for them. Using life potions or some other potions can temporarily make an ordinary lich reach the level of a legendary lich. At this moment, he can use this staff to enlighten skeletons with intelligence.

"If we really sell this staff and life potion, the money spent is estimated to be enough to buy many legendary liches to enlighten skeletons..." In the end, Shia ended the topic, and then they unanimously decided to throw this staff to Jim, at least the little skeleton looks a bit like a skeleton lord in his hand.

Of course, there are also successful items, such as the bracelet that Zhou Ren tried before. As a bracelet made of pure Tree of Life branches, it was smelted into juice through a smelting furnace, and re-transformed into woody juice, and after adding a little special mithril, it actually had a life protection effect.

At least until the power of these life protections is used up, the person wearing the bracelet will not be harmed in any way.

At the same time, the props forged by the Artisan Soul Smelting Furnace can also obtain life absorption or life delivery effects by adding the Tree of Life.

Being able to absorb life or bestow life can already be regarded as evil magic, but in legendary battles, this element will add more chances of winning to legendary powerhouses, so every legendary person took it without hesitation.

Of course, this wasn't free. They all needed to pay money to obtain them. It was just that Zhou Ren was more generous; he gave each Legend a very low price, and he promised that these items wouldn't be sold specially in the future, and only Legends who joined the territory could obtain them.

So, the smelter was more closely protected. This kind of special forging smelter was also being defended urgently.

It was just like the smelter he gave to the dwarves. They decided to only have the tapping spout and the smelting platform. The dwarves could hammer out various shapes on it, but they couldn't forge things with special attributes.

After thinking so much, he gently placed a bullet he had just forged on the forging platform. Now was the time to make a mold.

This newly built mold was not substantially different from an ordinary mold. If there was a difference, it was only that more tapping spouts needed to be added during synthesis.

That's right, after all, the synthesis of this kind of thing required not just one or two kinds of ammunition, but three.

Copper for the shell, steel for the bullet, and gunpowder for the internal gunpowder filling. Only when these three were combined into one and unified separately could they become the bullets everyone needed.

Of course, it wasn't as easy as imagined, which was also normal. No matter from what point of view, bullets made of three different metals or materials required three tapping spouts to cast the things below.

First, the iron tapping spout was opened to make the bullet, then the gunpowder tapping spout was opened to discharge some of the condensed liquid gunpowder, arranged behind the bullet, and then the copper tapping spout dripped down from above, covering the two liquids and gradually taking shape.

As expected, whether talking about science or magic with MC, it's not very appropriate. This special bullet casting method seems very strange, but it's quite simple to make.

"Doing this can indeed solve many problems, but the speed isn't as fast as I imagined!" Zhou Ren pondered. He originally thought it would be very fast, but it wasn't.

This casting method had great limitations, and these limitations were even difficult to break through. After all, not everyone could see the benefits of this casting method.

The Tinker's Construct smelter had its uses for casting various weapons and even armor, but if it only took three tapping spouts to cast a bullet, the efficiency was really pitifully slow.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

You need to know that any multi-barreled machine gun has a firing efficiency of 7200 rounds per minute. If all of them are cast with Tinker's Construct smelter, then his furnace won't have to do anything in the future. He would just put tapping spouts on all the places and produce bullets day and night.

So, he could only think of new tricks. For example, the gunpowder that the dwarves lacked could be completely discharged by the smelter. As for the steel bullets and copper shell, they could only choose a new production method.

For example... Zhou Ren thought of the dwarves' ability. They could twist metal into various shapes according to their own will. This usually didn't seem very conspicuous, but at this special time, they could completely create a simple assembly line.

After all, they were also a race that had learned industrial assembly line production, and their various casting techniques had been tested and completed.

As long as they made slight changes to their assembly line, they should be able to produce perfect assembly line bullets, from the initial solid splitter to the later stamping machine, grinding and forming machine, and the final synthesis, all of which can be completed in one go on the assembly line.

This highlighted another benefit of the crafting table, that is, the ability to synthesize without any cost.

Compared to those simple production methods, synthesizing bullets is often the biggest problem. After all, you have to put the bullet into the shell, fill all the ammunition inside, and seal it up.

But on the crafting table, there are no difficulties. They can easily put these three things together in the crafting table, and then take the complete bullet directly from the synthesis column.

In this way, the efficiency should be much faster than directly synthesizing from the forging furnace. As long as the dwarves' stamping machines are efficient enough, they should be able to produce many bullets in a day.

But... Zhou Ren had a whim. He thought of a way to combine a box of bullets. If he could really make a box of bullets directly, wouldn't it be faster than assembly line stamping?

But what he knew about MC was that it shouldn't have this function. When there was no synthesis table, most things could only be slowly explored by Zhou Ren.

This kind of efficiency is certainly not fast, but once a certain synthesis method is researched by him and completely implemented successfully, that sense of accomplishment is indescribable.

Moreover, this kind of synthesis is innovative to a certain extent, so he directly took out a set of copper coins, a set of flames, and a set of steel ingots.

"Next is the moment to witness the miracle!" What he was thinking about was a whole box of bullets, so when he took these three things out of the smelter and re-injected them into the crafting table, a miraculous thing happened.

Originally, they were just three different sets of substances, but a wonderful change took place in his hands, and then they turned into a box of bullets. The entire body of each bullet was orange, shining with the luster of brass, and the luster that shone out was the steel bullet.

He was very excited and made two more, until all the materials in his hand were used up, and he made a full seventy or eighty boxes of bullets.

Each box contains 5,000 bullets, which is nearly 400,000 bullets. It should be enough to consume for a while.

What made him happy was not only this, but also the surprise of finding a new contract method.

In this way, the dwarves only need to simply divide the materials, and they can directly synthesize them on the crafting table. Moreover, this method can not only be used for a bullet, but also for guns.

Then, can we make a simple fantasy that when the next storm ends, the border guards will have many super-range weapons chained together by the dwarven craftsmen that can be directly used to fire?

A smile gradually appeared on Zhou Ren's face, "It's time to let this society with stagnant development appreciate the beauty of natural science!"
