The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 161 New Followers

"Ashe Valley City is preparing to launch the bullet project?"

Luke looked at Jin Dajian in confusion. He didn't quite understand the so-called shocking news brought by Jin Dajian.

What made him even less comprehensible was that Jin Dajian brought not only manpower, supplies and news, but also 0.5% of the completion progress of the home mission.

In other words, it is easy to understand that Jin Dajian is now his follower, and he is a very die-hard follower.

This really surprised Luke. If he didn't know that the system would never lie to him, he would even suspect that what Jin Dajian made was just an illusion.

After confirming this, another question circled in Luke's mind.

I heard before that this Jin Dajian is the nephew of the Second Elder Jin Wannian, a hard-core Second Elder.

It is completely unreasonable why such a guy who could not possibly betray the Second Elder would suddenly turn into a follower of Luke.

Xiong Chumo and Xiong Chuxian were transformed from ordinary passers-by into followers because of his life-saving grace and the grace of giving them names.

The other 50 defenders became his followers for a variety of reasons, some because they worshiped him as a strong man, some because of the grace of saving lives, and some because of the star blue red flame knife he promised...

The most important follower, Xie Xiaoan, admired him as a strong man because of his young age. He became his follower only after seeing him majestically kill a powerful leader-level zombie with one hammer. .

All in all, all 51 of Luke's current followers were not simply converted into his followers.

Only the 52nd follower, Jin Dajian, suddenly transformed inexplicably.

This couldn't help but make Luke feel strange.

If it was said that it was because of his admiration for the strong, Luke would not believe it, because he hadn't done anything in the past few days. Even if the cat demon tribe was wiped out, Jin Dajian was not there at that time.

Besides, even in the battle with the cat demon, his performance was not as impressive as killing the commander-level zombies. If it was because of this, Jin Dajian would definitely have transformed at that time.

As for other reasons, the grace of saving lives and the grace of giving names are even more nonsense, and things that do not exist at all are absolutely untenable.

The last reason is the gift of commitment.

This seems wrong, because Jin Dajian turned into a follower on his own before meeting Luke. He did not promise Jin Dajian any benefits, not even a copper coin.

Ok?
Copper plates, copper, copper ore, bullets?
Luke thought he had figured something out.

The only difference between before and now is the addition of this so-called bullet project. It seems that if you want to understand Jin Dajian's sudden transformation into a follower, and then expand to understand the mechanism of followers, the focus is on this bullet project.

"What's so special about the bullet project, can Captain Jin explain it carefully?"

Luke was still very polite to Jin Dajian, but Jin Dajian lost his previous calmness.

He smiled humbly at Luke, and said with great respect: "Lord Luke, you don't need to call me captain, just call me by my name."

Luke knew the reason why Jin Dajian was fidgeting, so he didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "Dajian, then tell me, is the bullet project that Gray Valley City is going to launch going to be of any benefit to our side?"

Hearing the word "we", Jin Dajian knew that Master Luke had accepted his loyalty, and a flattered expression quickly appeared on his face.

"Master Luke, you are really the most kind person in the world, your generosity..."

Luke had no intention of listening to Jin Dajian's bragging and flattering, so he glared at Jin Dajian and signaled him to get to the point quickly.

Jin Dajian was an exquisite guy, he immediately understood Lord Luke's meaning, changed his solemn expression, and explained the significance of the bullet project in Gray Valley City to Lord Luke seriously.

……

After the Doomsday War, Xialu's industrial base was basically destroyed, and all large factories and mining areas were paralyzed.

At the same time, because the ground, air, and river and sea transportation were cut off by monsters raging everywhere, these large-scale industrial facilities lost the possibility of restarting.

After all, for modern and mechanized industries, transportation is equivalent to the blood of the human body. If the blood cannot circulate at all, large-scale industries will die and there is no way to revive them.

However, just because modern and mechanized large-scale industries have been completely destroyed does not mean that all industries have been destroyed.

Some small factories and small workshops can still rely on the previous inventory and the resources searched from the ruins of the city to operate slowly.

For example, some small handmade firearms and bullet workshops.

As we all know, the most primitive thermal weapons in human civilization started from handwork and developed step by step to a large-scale industrial assembly line with thousands of people working and hundreds of machines roaring at the same time.

But even in the most advanced period of large-scale industry, small firearms and bullet workshops are still very vigorous.

Whether it is a technologically advanced developed country or a poor and backward war-torn area, there are many firearms and bullets produced by manpower.

The only difference is that those gunsmiths in advanced countries pursue exquisite artistic culture, while war-torn areas try to improve the killing efficiency of these weapons.

The existence of these manual workshops certainly shows that the market for handmade firearms and bullets is extremely large at any time, and it also shows that these murderous weapons do not have high requirements for the industrial base.

After the Doomsday War, the humans living in Xialu first resumed the production not of daily necessities such as food, but of handmade firearms, bullets, cold weapons, and other deadly weapons.

Because for them, if there is no food to eat, they will not starve to death for a few days, but without weapons in their hands, they may be tortured and killed by monsters everywhere in the next second.

No matter what, safety always comes first.

……

The invasion of Xia Lu by Arad Continent brought not only bad luck and disaster, but also the alien atmosphere that could improve the physical fitness of Xia Lu humans, as well as the Arad Continent’s own murderous weapons that far exceeded those of Xia Lu humans. Technology.

Just like the star blue red flame knife of the clown clan in Gray Valley City.

This is a sharp and tough high-grade cold weapon. Compared with the knives produced by the Xialu people with the most advanced technology before the Doomsday War, its performance is much better, and the cost is much cheaper. The requirements are also much lower.

The most critical point among them is that the Clown Clan can use the advanced smelting technology brought by their ancestors from Arad to extract a more excellent metal-Red Flame Copper from ordinary copper mines.

It was the Red Flame Copper that made the performance of the Xinglan Chiyan Knife dozens of times stronger in terms of toughness.

It can be said that without the existence of red flame copper, the star blue knife forged by adding star blue iron is just a pile of hard but extremely fragile scrap iron, which cannot withstand impacts exceeding a certain force at all, and has little practicality at all. .

Luke thinks that the application of Chiyan Copper on the Xinglan Chiyan Knife is already the most efficient and valuable way to use this metal with excellent performance.

Jin Dajian's explanation made him understand that compared with the Chiyan Copper Bullet, the Xinglan Chiyan Knife's power is several grades worse.
