The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

He has already taught all the content that can be taught. For the members of the forging department, he actually has nothing to give advice, but he is always uneasy if he doesn't take a few glances.

Hearing the system prompt that unlocked the 'Bronze Casting' and 'Forging' items in his mind, and then seeing the people in the forging department who were gradually entering the state after being encouraged by himself, Luo Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Without disturbing them, he quietly left the forging department. After that, he has other things to do. Since the forging department has started to cast copper, it is time for him to sort out and digest the huge amount of information in the business system. frame up.

Chapter 143, rapid development

In the following period of time, Luo Ji's life could be said to be smooth sailing. After all, there were no barbarian tribes around that could threaten their existence, which allowed him to live a fairly comfortable farming life.

System prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' for successfully inventing 'copper coins'

System prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' for triggering the 'Currency Transaction' item.

Playing with the small copper coin in his hand, Luo Ji couldn't hide his ecstasy. Although this was just the beginning, he succeeded, and his civilization successfully took the first step from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. !

Luo Ji struck while the iron was hot, followed by the launch of the commercial system and the issuance of copper coins. This whole brand-new system caused an uproar in the Mingjing tribe. After all, this kind of thing is completely beyond the common sense of people in this era. But out of loyalty and trust in Luo Ji, the leader, everyone did not raise any objections. From the beginning to the present, along the way, Luo Ji used his actions to make all his people realize that as long as they follow closely In the footsteps of their leaders, they will be able to have a better life.

Along with the promotion of the commercial system, a large number of corresponding departments were also born, such as the 'coin minting workshop', which is specially responsible for making copper coins, and the 'commerce and industry department', which registers and price various commodities.

Of course, it is the industrial and commercial sector, but judging from the current situation, they have no concept of pricing yet, so they can only help Luo Ji. The price of the first batch of goods still has to be the leader Luo Ji. Going into battle has made this period of time almost a busy one, but after passing this initial hurdle, with the previous price list of Luo Ji as a reference, I believe that the industry and commerce department will soon be able to get on the right track.

In addition to these newly added departments, there were also many laws that followed, the two most important of which were 'prohibition of privately making copper coins' and 'regular payment of taxes'.

There is no need to say more about the prohibition of counterfeiting money, but it is a tax issue. Luo Ji almost missed this before. If the people of the tribe don’t pay taxes, then in order to protect the safety of the tribe, they will pay for it every day from morning to night. Where do the tribal warriors who are training hard, get their income?At the moment when the commercial system is launched, how should they solve their living expenses?Realizing this, Luo Ji quickly added this one.

No one in the tribe expressed dissatisfaction with the law that half of personal income should be turned over. Take the hunting team for example. They originally went down all day and turned over all the prey they caught to the tribe. Luo Ji, the leader, was allocated uniformly, and now they only need to hand over half of it, what can they be so dissatisfied with?

With the introduction of the new system, the entire tribe has radiated new vitality and is gradually moving in a good direction!

In addition, Luo Ji's luck was also quite good in the following player invasions. The locations that the system randomly teleported were almost always around the Jingjing tribe. The strength of the defenders had decreased somewhat, but with the few slingers that had just been trained, and Luo Ji's personal command, there was no problem in persuading the opposing players to take advantage of the defenders.

After all, players in this rank are not like those high-ranking bosses. They send thousands or even [-] troops to attack the city with a wave of their hands. They have only a few soldiers under their hands, and everyone can’t afford it, unless it is When you encounter someone with a particularly grumpy temper, otherwise, everyone's default mode is to hit a wave first. If you can't beat it, then withdraw.

Occasionally I met a few who liked to play tricks and ambush, and I was a little helpless against Shang Luo Ji's unstoppable play, and forcibly attacking the city was too traumatic, and in the end I had to retreat.

The only thing that is more regrettable is that this style of play is really not conducive to scoring records. When it is finally the system's turn to judge, Luo Ji, who can't defend himself, often doesn't get any good reviews, and he can only earn a black iron treasure chest in the end. , and even bronze treasure chests.

However, Luo Ji was able to keep his composure. The road had to be taken step by step, and he had to eat one bite at a time. He knew very well that what he needed now was not many treasure chests, but the opportunity to develop steadily. He hasn't quite made it through yet.

One of the biggest features is that he can only be beaten passively now, but he has no spare energy to invade others. Although he planned a defensive style for himself in the early stage, he has spare energy to invade others. He is considered a novice. The dividing line between players and old players.

To put it simply, in the past few months, if the players who have invaded his civilization come with an army of 50, then the total strength of that player is at least [-], or even more than [-]. , because all the remaining troops stayed in his own civilization to guard his home.

Before invading others, it is common sense to defend your own territory, which can be said to be the common sense of strategy war game players, especially those war games where the competition is particularly fierce and the smell of gunpowder is particularly heavy.

You fought hard in the war of aggression, finally broke through the city gate and won, and plundered resources. As a result, you turned around and saw that your hometown was emptied directly. Once you return to liberation, you can still be happy. get up?When you beat others, others beat you too!

At this time, one of Luo Ji's weaknesses was exposed, and that weakness was the slinger!The slingers are his most important defending arms. In order to defend the three tribes at the same time, he increased the number of slingers a lot when he expanded his army a few times. This made the number of slingers almost half of his total strength. The above, but this approach has also become a weakness at the moment, because the slingers cannot be used in the invasion war!

how to spell?Are you all carrying a heavy basket of stone bullets to hit?As far as the mobility is concerned, there is no way to fight in the invasion war, only the defense of the city.

This time, the reason why the slingers were eliminated by the times became clear. Although they were powerful defenders, their limitations were too great due to their heavy load. It was too weak to keep up with the military development speed of the entire era, so it was eliminated.

On the other hand, an archer, even if he carries two pots of arrows directly on his back, can a basket of stone bullets be heavy?Basically, it is no problem to bring archer troops in any battle, and there is no doubt that the versatility is powerful.

Therefore, Luo Ji's biggest problem at the moment is that he has become a thoroughly partial student in terms of military development!There are only two ways to improve this situation.

One is to select a group of slingers and let them transform into archers. Another way is to continue to expand the army, but the direction of the expansion of the army is set on the archers and the melee axemen!

He himself is completely inclined to the second method. After all, as a defender of the city, the strength of the defender is too important to him, not to mention that he still has three tribes who need to send troops to garrison. .

In this way, from Luo Ji's own point of view, there is actually only one way to expand the military, but this is where the difficulty lies. It's the same sentence, it's not easy to raise troops these days, if you want to raise a hundred The army is even more difficult, for this reason, he must do a good job in tribal development.

Chapter 144, change

"Boss, how much is this piece of roe deer meat?"

"Sixty copper coins."

"Isn't it, it's so expensive? The roe deer meat from the stall next door is only thirteen copper coins per catty, and your piece weighs three catties at most."

"This piece is the meat on the hind legs of the roe deer. It costs twenty copper coins a pound. All that is left is this piece. Do you want it?"

"It's too expensive, I'll think about it first..."

"Just made hoes and copper picks! There are only six today, so hurry up! The stalls are sold out!"

"Freshly caught fish! Come and see them all!"

"Clay pots and bowls that have just been fired, don't miss them..."

It has only been more than half a month since the launch of the commercial system, and the entire Mingjing tribe has completely changed. The sound continued, it was simply lively.

Walking through the business district and on the way to the Ordnance Department, Luo Ji's face was full of pride. Of course, not everything went smoothly during this period. For example, the forging side encountered many problems.

There is no problem with some daily utensils mass-produced by the method of pouring molds, but the forging of ordnance weapons has always been difficult to pass in terms of quality.

By the way, the forging department is now divided into three parts, one is a coinage workshop dedicated to casting copper coins, the other is a forging shop dedicated to making living instruments, and the last part is merged into the ordnance department, dedicated to forging. Ordnance Forging Department of Ordnance Equipment.

Although Luo Ji has given all the correct forging knowledge to the craftsmen of the Ordnance Forging Department, written knowledge is one thing, and practical operation is another. In this regard, the craftsmen in the tribe are obviously still very lacking. The experience and skills of forging weapons can only be slowly tried and explored by themselves.

In addition, in the past few months, with the research of forging technology, Luo Ji has also discovered another thing, that is, the handsome bronze swords in the film and television works are all bullshit. In reality, copper is used. The sword forged from the mine is short and wide, much shorter than the long sword in everyone's impression. To be honest, it is more appropriate to say that it is a short sword.

Because of this length, it is quite embarrassing to hold in the hand, and cannot be associated with the word 'handsome'. When it comes to technology, the existence of the bronze sword itself has little meaning...

The main reason for this is the material. Copper is a metal that has insufficient toughness. If the blade is forcibly made too long, it will break if it cannot withstand several attacks. The illusion of weapons is completely shattered.

Fortunately, in the upcoming Bronze Age, the main weapon of melee arms is not swords, but melee weapons such as halberds and battle axes are more suitable for the battlefield!

As an important department in the Ordnance Department, Luo Ji can be said to be a frequent visitor here. He would run over every once in a while to see how the production of the ordnance weapons was progressing, so the members of the Ordnance Department were not surprised. Now, when I saw Luo Ji come in, after a simple bow and salute, I continued to do what I was doing. This is what Luo Ji requested. I can't just come here every time, and everyone from the department will line up to welcome it. ?How much does this affect work efficiency?

"Patriarch, you're here." Of course Liu Shu, who is now the head of the Ordnance Department of Rongsheng, knew the purpose of Luo Ji's visit. He hurriedly brought over a newly polished battle axe and presented it to Luo Ji. "This one is a new product just finished by the forging department."

"Yeah." Luo Ji replied casually, and then lifted the battle axe. The handle was still made of wood. This was obtained after considering a lot of problems such as forging difficulty, cost, efficiency, and weight. the final result.

Weighing the weight of the battle axe, the weight is moderate, and it would not be difficult for ordinary soldiers to swing it. For this, Luo Ji nodded secretly, and then asked, "Has this battle axe been cut?"

"Just finished polishing." Instantly understood Luo Ji's meaning, only to see Liu Shu beckoning, and hurriedly asked someone to find a tree trunk for testing weapons.

Without hesitating, Luo Ji slashed down with an axe. With a muffled 'bang' sound, the tree trunk that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl in front of him instantly split in two.

"Not bad!" Looking at the fracture of the tree trunk, although it is not smooth, the forging and research of copper weapons have just begun, and the requirements cannot be too high at once. For now, this power is enough, and then took a look With no obvious damage to the axe blade, Luo Ji asked again, "How about the quality? How many slashes can this axe blade withstand? Have you ever done any experiments?"

"Yesterday, I asked the logging team to help, and did an experiment to cut down trees. After a day, there was no obvious damage to the axe blade."

Hearing this, Luo Ji's eyes flashed with obvious satisfaction, "You've done a good job, let's take this quality as the standard, and first equip everyone in the shield and axe troops. As for the Rayong, I'll draw a picture later. The design diagram is given to you, and you will follow the design diagram. Besides, how is the forging of the halberd?"

"The halberd is a little troublesome..." Having said this, Liu Shu showed a wry smile on his face.

Facing this situation, Luo Ji was not surprised at all, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Patriarch, in the design of the halberd you gave us earlier, the chisel named 'Ge' has high requirements for forging, and it has a relatively small shape. So far, it has often broken halfway through forging. "

In response, Luo Ji just nodded, saying that he knew it, and he didn't mean to blame. After all, this is a matter of material. If it is replaced by bronze, the material's toughness can be stronger, but they don't have bronze now, only brass...

Regarding the issue of bronze, Luo Ji had carefully studied it while studying bronze casting in the real world before, and then he discovered that 'bronze' is not a single ore, but an alloy!

You have to first refine copper ore into pure copper, and then mix it with tin or lead, and the resulting alloy is called bronze!

This is very helpless, can he still change tin or lead out of thin air?Does not!We can only rely on the mining team and the reconnaissance team to work hard, and until then...

"Don't worry, study slowly. If the current forging technology can't reach that size, it's okay to take a step back and play a little wider..."

Chapter 145, This combination is simply too sinful

"Sun Li, what's the next work arrangement?" After leaving the Ordnance Department, Luo Ji asked casually as he walked away.

As for the middle-aged man who had been following Luo Ji, he quickly flipped through the animal skin book in his hand, and then replied, "Boss, the next arrangement is to go to the farming department to confirm the potato harvest. "

"Almost forgot about this..." After hearing Sun Li's words, Luo Ji squeezed his brows, a look of weariness appeared on his face, "Is it time for the potatoes to be harvested too? Now, the weather has started to get warmer recently, it's almost summer..."

"Leader, you don't seem to be in the right state. Why don't you go back and take a nap. For the Agriculture Department, let your subordinates confirm it."

Hearing this, Luo Ji glanced at the serious-looking subordinate beside him. That's right, he is the one who has management talent and has a mental upper limit of four stars. In the past few months, he has been in the Luo Ji acted as an assistant secretary by his side, helping him to share a lot of work. At the same time, because he was always with him, the loyalty of the other party also increased rapidly, and now it has risen to ninety o'clock.

"Alright, you'll have to check with the farming department. If you encounter any problems that you can't handle, just come to me." Luo Ji nodded, not rejecting his subordinate's kindness, after all, with loyalty As he went up, his trust in Sun Li also increased. From the very beginning, he just took Sun Li by his side as an errand, and then he gave him some relatively important work bit by bit. , the change here is very obvious.

Returning to his room, Luo Ji fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed. During this time, he was really exhausted. When the commercial system was first launched, a lot of trivial things were waiting. He went to deal with it, and then there were various problems with the forging department, and he also cared about the daily food consumption within the tribe. In addition to the previous player invasions, Zhao Pan was not on the side of the Jingjing tribe, and the defense of the city had to be done. He personally commanded, and the whole person was almost overwhelmed.

This sleep was over, and he didn't know how long he had slept. In his sleep, Luo Ji sniffed. A tempting smell of food penetrated into his nostrils. The constant hunger in his stomach made him feel His eyes opened a slit with difficulty, and then he glanced at the sky outside the window, "Well, is it night?"

"Yes, I'm sorry boss, I didn't know you were resting..." The girl who was walking in with dinner showed a hint of panic on her face after realizing that she had woken Luo Ji up.

And Luo Ji waved his hand, "It's fine, I'm just hungry, put it on the table."

With the introduction of the business system, the Jingjing tribe has long since passed the period when all the people were left to eat together. In the face of this change, Luo Ji's daily life obviously needs someone to take care of it.

And this girl named Liu Ye is the one who was chosen to take care of his daily life. The main job is basically to take care of his three meals, occasionally cleaning, and nothing else.

Stretching vigorously, Luo Ji glanced at the sky outside the window. The fiery red sunset dyed the surface of Mingjing Lake with brilliant colors. He actually slept all afternoon.

Touching his hungry stomach, Luo Ji walked slowly to the table and glanced at today's dinner, a grilled fish, a bowl of broth, and three simple steamed potatoes. In this day and age, this is already very Luxurious dinner too.

First, he took a bite of the grilled fish pad to cushion his stomach, and then Luo Ji unhurriedly peeled off the potatoes in his hands. When he first discovered crops like potatoes, he brought them out for everyone to try, so he also made them one by one. know what to do.

After peeling the potatoes, Luo Ji mashed the two potatoes with the wooden spoon in his hand, and poured a few spoonfuls of the greasy broth on top of them, no!This combination is simply too sinful!

After he devoured his luxurious dinner, Luo Ji patted his stomach and leaned on his office chair with a contented face. This meal was really good. He hadn't eaten staple food for a long time. , I can't help but sigh that potatoes are really a good thing.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he knew that Luo Ji, who had slept all afternoon, was definitely not sleepy now. Sun Li came to report to him about the afternoon's affairs at a timely manner. Overall, this season, the potato harvest was clearly a bumper one.

For Luo Ji, this is great news, and after this season's potatoes are harvested, they will be able to plant another round in autumn. In short, from this moment on, as long as their tribe can maintain their crops Farming, and there will be no sudden population increase in a short period of time, then their food problems can basically be solved, and the most difficult days have passed!

Unlike himself, who had slept all afternoon, looking at Sun Li with a sleepy face, Luo Ji motioned for him to go back to rest early. After the night was quiet, Luo Ji, who had almost slept before, took the time to draw a special double-edged battle axe for Luo Yong. Design drawings, for Luo Ji, who drew the design drawings, the structure of the double-edged battle axe is actually not complicated, because the difficulty is in forging, but this kind of thing will give the people in the forging department a headache.

After drawing the design drawing, Luo Ji stretched his back. Just as he was about to deal with the next task, the system notification that the player's information was received rang in his mind. Luo Ji opened it and saw that it was Ye Qingxuan... …

"There are still 5 minutes left before the novice protection period ends."

This is what Luo Ji had specially instructed before, asking Ye Qingxuan to send a message to remind him when the novice protection period is about to end. On the one hand, in order to deal with the next player invasion, he can give Ye Qingxuan a serious mention. Matters needing attention, even as long as you know the configuration of arms, it is not a problem to help her arrange tactical play.

On the other hand, he wants to sign a 'War Alliance' treaty with Ye Qingxuan before other players invade. In this way, if Ye Qingxuan can't deal with the invading players that appear later, then she only needs to deal with each other in the mountains and forests. If you drag the time to the seventh day, you will be able to request support from Luo Ji, who is the 'War Alliance'.

As for whether it would eventually turn into a big melee in which the two sides pull allies together because of Luo Ji's participation, he can't control that much. No matter what, people will definitely be saved!

Five minutes passed quietly, and Luo Ji initiated the application almost in seconds. The other treaties were ignored for the time being, and the 'War Alliance' treaty was established first.

System prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' and player 'Ye Qingxuan' for successfully signing the 'War Alliance' treaty.

1Chapter 16. Invasion

The successful signing of the 'War Alliance' treaty made him relieved, and then based on the information on the configuration of arms provided by Ye Qingxuan, he helped her arrange a few simple tactics.

One message after another was sent continuously, until the system prompt sounded...

System prompt: The civilization of the player 'Ye Qingxuan' is being invaded by other players and cannot receive news temporarily!

Seeing this news, Luo Ji's face flashed a trace of worry. Unless the invading party and the invaded party have survived until the seventh day and obtained the permission to request the support of the 'War Alliance', otherwise, during this period, the two sides and the outside world will be affected. The connection was completely cut off, and this system prompt popped up, which meant that Ye Qingxuan's first invasion battle had already begun.

At the same time, the time when Ye Qingxuan became a player happened to be when his free card time was about to end. In other words, the next round of player invasion was coming soon!Luo Ji didn't feel that facing the invasion of other players, he was already able to fight casually. With that kind of mentality, he would definitely suffer.

In the last few days, I resolutely adjusted my state, and then ushered in a new round of player invasion...

System prompt: Player 'Zhang Yisheng' has invaded your civilization!

"Phew—" He exhaled a long breath, and after a period of adjustment, Luo Ji's state was much better. Following the order, the gate of the Mingjing Tribe closed and entered a state of alert again.

However, the people in the tribe did not feel any panic. When the invasion of foreigners became their monthly life, it was really hard to get used to it. The warriors also gave them a strong self-confidence. Each of them firmly believed that this time will be no different from usual. Those outsiders will eventually fall under the iron wall of their Mirror Tribe!

However, just when they believed so strongly, an unexpected situation happened. As time passed, there were no invading players around the Mirror Tribe.

A whistle sounded from the woods. Luo Ji frowned slightly. It was a signal from Luo Jin. After several consecutive battles of defending the city, Luo Ji discovered that even if he was playing with the style of defending the city, he blindly defended the city. The city is too passive, so I specially made a few wind whistle and distributed it to several members of the reconnaissance team. Then, before the players invaded, let the members of the reconnaissance team ambushed in various places in the woods. If the enemy is found approaching Here, the wind whistle is blown to report, and if they find that the enemy is exploring the wrong direction, Luo Jin and the others can also leave a few footprints and lead the other party to prevent the invading players from accidentally running to the Heiyan tribe. go.

However, the signals of the wind whistle are also divided into several types. The whistle sounded just now, and the message conveyed was 'No enemy was found in the nearby area! '

Luo Ji's face sank after reading this message, "Could it be that it was sent to the Tiebi tribe?!"

At this moment, the Tiebi Tribe in the hilly area to the east has long since closed its gates. Although the lucky Tiebi Tribe has not been invaded by players for a few months, as Luo Ji's appointed general defending the city , Zhao Pan didn't relax because of this. Every time this time, he would still strictly follow Luo Ji's instructions, close the city gate, and he couldn't keep it!

"I said that the commander was too careful? It's been a few months? Nothing happened to our Tiebi tribe. Is it necessary to make such a big battle every time?" On the sentry tower, one of the sentry standing guard chatted with another companion with a bored expression.

Hearing this, the other sentinel frowned slightly, "This is the leader's order, the leader follows the leader's order, it is natural, and there is nothing wrong with it, keep your spirits up, this lazy look, when the time comes If you are seen by the commander, you will be punished!"

In this regard, I just heard the sentinel say 'Hi', then waved his hand nonchalantly, and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, the words came to his mouth, and before he could say it, a sharp arrow came flying. It fell directly into his eyebrows!The unbalanced body fell head-on from the nearly ten-meter-high sentry tower on the spot, head down, and blood splattered on the ground in an instant!

The visual impact at that moment made the other sentinel's heart twitch violently. The first reaction was to squat down and hide behind the guardrail of the sentry tower, and then shouted loudly, "Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!! !"

The area of ​​the Tiebi Tribe was not large, and the roar of the sentinel immediately attracted the attention of all the fallen. Liu Zheng, who was taking a nap in the tent, woke up on the spot, while Zhao Pan, who was counting the number of stone bullets in the warehouse, was more alarmed. It was the first time that he rushed out and made a layout to meet the enemy, "The shield and axe squads set up a defensive formation behind the city gate. All the slingers gathered, and everyone else went to help carry the stone bombs!"

Under Zhao Pan's command, the entire Tiebi Tribe started running at a high speed. At the same time, on the hills outside the Tiebi Tribe, Zhang Yisheng's headshot arrow could be said to boost the morale of his troops. The soldiers shouted loudly, 'Leader's mighty! '
