I am the Scourge

Chapter 46 Surprising Number of Craftsmen

The spirit powder Moore mentioned is to decompose the element spar containing the energy of the fire element into powder through special means. This powder is flammable and explosive, basically no different from gunpowder.

There are many kinds of energy spar.

But collectively referred to as two categories.

Element spar.

and magic spar.

The energy contained in the former naturally has element characteristics, such as flint and crystal stone.

The magic spar contains pure energy without attributes.

The energy of magic spar is more gentle and controllable, and its reserves in the main world are extremely considerable, so it has become the main energy source used.

Element spar is more used to cast magic equipment.

Magic equipment is a general term for equipment above the normal level.

Moore took out most of the items they had studied in the ground for many years and showed them to Levi. Among them, this elemental spirit powder is inseparable from the production of weapons.

In theory.

Spirit powder is not much different from gunpowder.

The only difference is that the spiritual powder must be ignited by magic.

The goblins have made a trigger that can stimulate magic power to activate the spiritual powder cannon they made, but this trigger must be used at close range, and the research on delayed detonation has always been their weakness.

The technological level of the No. [-] grenade that Li Wei took out is far inferior to their spiritual powder cannon, let alone comparable to a steel battleship.

But it still surprised Moore.

There is only one reason.

They have been developing underground for decades, and have a serious lack of contact with the outside world, which has caused their technology tree to be crooked.The orthodox technology of the goblins brought by Li Wei is bringing their path back on track.

Li Wei also thought about it.

Can the spirit powder they developed completely replace gunpowder?

However, he quickly abandoned the idea.

The cost of spirit powder is dozens or even hundreds of times that of gunpowder, and the price of a single element spar is much more expensive than materials such as saltpeter and sulfur.

But the power is not much different.

On this point, it gave Li Wei enough reasons to abandon it.

As expected of a master, Moore analyzed the gunpowder composition in the grenade in a blink of an eye. The corresponding materials were stored in their library, and he immediately copied a complete black powder.

"bass!"

A small pile of black powder suddenly burst into dazzling light.

Moore was excited.

"This is a low-cost but extremely powerful mysterious energy substance. It can completely replace spirit powder! If it can be used in the field of weapons, it can even replace magic weapons in the future!"

he said excitedly.

"Perhaps that's what the goblins think."

Levi said.

He then took out another item and handed it to Moore, which was the gunpowder gun he bought from the Black Essence store.

"I wonder if you can mass-produce this weapon."

He said.

Moore took it and took a few glances before he said firmly: "Although the design of this weapon is ingenious, the craftsmanship is not difficult. It is not a problem to mass-produce it. Is this the latest product of the goblins?"

"Yes."

Li Wei nodded.

"Unexpectedly, the research of the people of the clan is so advanced. I have been disconnected from the clan for decades, and I have regressed a lot. If I can get more research materials, I can make more powerful weapons!"

Moore looked at Li Wei with piercing eyes.

What Li Wei was waiting for was his words, and immediately took out all the research samples kept in the backpack one by one.

Among these weapons, most of them are mana weapons that combine mechanical and magic technology, and only a few are pure gunpowder weapons, but no matter which one they are, they can be called cutting-edge technology at the current stage of the game.

Their research data is basically equated with wealth.

"Based on my understanding, the clan will definitely not display the latest scientific research results. These should be products that have been updated for at least three generations. The clan must already have more advanced research materials."

Moore continued.

"Ah."

Li Wei expected the same, he said: "I will send some of your clansmen back to the world when the next blood moon tide comes. My ability is limited, and I can't open the space rift for a long time yet."

He didn't speak to the full, leaving room on purpose.

Li Wei is planning to take this opportunity of the blood moon tide to send away a group of irrelevant characters in the tribe first, so that they can see the hope of returning home, so that the remaining talents will work harder on research.

And the next blood moon tide will be three years later.

three years.

Enough for Levi to squeeze out all the technology they have...

Gunpowder is more controllable than spiritual powder, which increases the possibility of remote operation. Levi doesn't know scientific research, but Moore can complete the remaining steps by himself. He then studied the first batch of employment lists with Gufu.

I don't know, I don't know, Li Wei was a little scared when he learned how many craftsmen there were in the tribe.

A small tribe with a population of more than a thousand has cultivated more than 300 senior craftsmen, and more than 20 master craftsmen!And Gufu and Moore are a master-level blacksmith and a master-level alchemist respectively!
The preciousness of life occupation units mainly depends on their skill proficiency.

For example, the mysterious pharmacist that Li Wei now has, and the blacksmith who has just undergone a mutation.

Their professional skill proficiency has just reached the elementary level.

And above the elementary level, there are intermediate level, advanced level, master, master, and even the highest level master craftsman.

Master-level craftsmen are already quite rare in the game, as rare as hero units!
And there are 21 people in the small underground tribe at the same time!
The corner of Li Wei's mouth raised uncontrollably.

If all these craftsmen were stationed in his territory, the current work efficiency would be increased by more than a hundred times!
This increase is no exaggeration.

Just being a master craftsman is worth all the production units he currently owns!

Li Wei immediately signed a talent transaction contract with Gu Fu.

A total of two hundred senior craftsmen are employed.

Most of these craftsmen are production-oriented talents with advanced mining and advanced logging. Since the construction of the underground world is already facing perfection, their abilities are useless, and they are all bought by Li Wei at this time.

Their single salary is 2 gold per month.

A total of 400 gold.

of course.

It was useless for them to get money in Nether, and Li Wei couldn't pay the bill for the time being, so he simply said that he owed it first. Gu Fu had no complaints about this, and this transaction was mainly used to increase the prosperity of trade.

400 gold running water.

It directly increased the prosperity of Soul Soil by 80 points.

Li Wei hired ten master craftsmen with a monthly salary of 10 gold.

Prosperity increased by another 20 points.

To meet another territory upgrade condition: to have 800 second-tier units, for Li Wei, it is just a matter of simply exploding the population.

The humus is fully opened.

In just two hours, the population of Soul Soil's territory reached 800.

Li Wei then issued the order.

Upgrade the territory!
