My players are so fierce

Chapter 398 397. The new knight of the Riptide Knights - [Monthly ticket plus 410]

While the five collective farms controlled by small players began to increase their specialization and development, the Transian First National Arsenal, which had been built a week ago in the Undermar Hills of Transia, was officially put into production. There was a three day delay.

As the director of the factory, Brother Zhongzhong has been very anxious and angry these days. However, with his current engineering level, he is completely unable to complete the upgrade of the old production line alone. Even with the help of "Transia's first engineer" Earl Sharon, The progress of this matter is also incredibly slow.

Although Brother Zhongzhong had made a simple transformation plan through "drawings found in the office trash can" and was fully recognized by Xiao Xuelun, both master and apprentice underestimated the difficulty of transforming a production line.

Even the production lines of the steam era were complex structures with several large machines connected in parallel.

What's more, what Brother Zhongzhong has in front of is fantasy steampunk stuff. He himself is a beginner, and he can hardly even understand the working principle of this thing. To be honest, it is just Xiao Xuelun who casts the replacement workpieces and The template took almost a week.

"It's barely done now, and I guess it's barely usable after it's installed. But after all, it's not an original part. There will definitely be a lot of wear and tear during use, and there will be certain tolerances."

In the arsenal, little Sharon, who was wearing a technician's uniform, pushed up the goggles on her forehead. She looked at the skilled workers of the Cape family in front of her, taking some locally recruited apprentices to make the workpieces cast by her and her disciple Zhong Zhongge. Replace it on the original production machine.

She said with a worried look:

"We still overestimate our abilities and underestimate the difficulties we face. This is not something we can do by hand now. We must seek help from professionals."

"ah?"

Brother Zhongzhong next to him was moving his cool robot hand. He was wearing a "capitalist suit" and rolled up his sleeves. There were still oil stains on his face. Hearing what his little mentor said, he frowned and asked:

"But you are already the most powerful professional in this field in Transia. There is no more powerful engineer than you nearby. Do you want to go to the Genoa Peninsula to find those halflings?"

"This is indeed a way. Isn't the Batasin Chamber of Commerce going to purchase it next month? We can order some tools and ready-made molds from the halfling factory. They have this business there."

Little Sharon flapped her wings and levitated, observing the entire assembly process in the air. She said to Brother Zhongzhong:

"The production line in front of you was also ordered by my father in the halfling factory through my mother's connections. Transia does not have the ability to manufacture its own production lines.

My mother's connections in the Genoa Peninsula should still be there. Halflings can live for a long time and they are not willing to participate in the disputes on the mainland. The peace there has been maintained for hundreds of years. It is precisely because of that environment that the halflings can feel at ease. Come and do research and improve in a down-to-earth manner. "

"But it's actually too late, mentor."

Brother Zhongzhong immediately shook his head and said:

"There are only more than three months left before the black disaster arrives. Even if the halflings work overtime to help us build the production line, we will not have enough time to start production when they are delivered. Such a solution cannot allow Murphy The adults are satisfied.

We must find another way. "

"Then go to the Dark Mountains!"

Xiao Sharon narrowed her eyes and said firmly:

"Looking for that crazy engineering master Suik Feilun! The Hungry Mountain where he is located is not very far from the barren mountain defense line outside the Dark Mountain. As long as our warriors and soldiers can break through the blockade of the Filthy Swamp, it only takes one or two quick steps. You can reach the station of Suk Fei Lun within 3 days.

Since that crazy engineer who enjoys strife can sell 3,000 sets of calculation orbs to the dwarf marshal, it proves that he has a systematic manufacturing tool in his hands.

As long as we can make a deal with him, we can get everything we need faster.

Because the Halflings do not participate in the war, such military industrial orders need to be approved by the Steam Lords Council, and the decision-making efficiency of any parliamentary organization is not very high.

Perhaps the best way is to find someone who can be more 'flexible' to cooperate with Suk Feilun. "

"We can do both!"

Brother Zhongzhong thought for a moment and replied:

"You can only walk steadily on two legs. In the name of supporting the Black Disaster, we asked the Steam Lords to provide aid to Transia, and then sent people to find Suoke Flywheel. I guess the calculation orbs in Lord Murphy's hands may not be enough. After using it, he continued to replenish this strategic material."

"Well, then let me write the report."

Little Earl Sharon nodded. She had always been a decisive person and said to Brother Zhongzhong in the air:

"You just need to be famous after the report. You can watch here first. Don't connect them to the steam engine to start production after they are installed. I also need to conduct a final inspection of the entire production line to confirm that everything is correct before manufacturing.

This is the only production line we currently have on hand. If it breaks, we won’t be able to play with it. "

"Okay, mentor, I'll watch them."

Brother Zhongzhong responded crisply, watched Xiao Sharon leave, and returned his gaze to the production line that was being overhauled in front of him.

His eyes swept over the strangely shaped and complex gear and lever structures. This was completely different from the fully automatic military supplies production line in his memory, and it was not even a little bit worse.

"According to Sharon, this production line can produce 200 rifle parts and thousands of bullets a day, but the subsequent polishing and assembly will take time, and the hardwood promised by the Riptide Knights has not yet arrived.

Holy shit!

This is far from achieving scale. "

Brother Zhongzhong took out his notebook with a painful look on his face and wrote some drawings. He looked at the ambition of making a semi-automatic plan in three months and thought to himself that he was really a simple little cutie before, so he closed his eyes and wrote that Cross out arrogant ambition.

He reviewed the current situation and wrote a new goal for himself. It would be good if he could ensure that bolt-action rifles and some lever-action shotguns were distributed to the Cadman People's Army before the Black Disaster broke out.

"But if there is a war, guns alone won't do it!"

Brother Zhongzhong recalled the "small-scale wars" he participated in when he was young. He rubbed his chin with his cool robotic hand and thought:

"The command system and liaison system are really big problems. It is said that the short man Loren is trying to use the calculation orb to cooperate with the user to build a command network in the entire army system. It sounds very fantastic, but this kind of command system is serious Rely on the calculation orb.

This thing is okay for players to use, but I'm afraid it's too delicate if you really want to fight.

If it encounters a complex psychic environment, it will be ineffective, or if a psychic master like Mrs. Tracey throws a large-scale silence spell, a small part of the system will be destroyed.

We need a liaison weapon that can be used by ordinary soldiers and is low-cost and can be distributed on a large scale.

radio? Walkie-talkie? And a simple fire control system for artillerymen?

Um.

It's very head-turning. "

Thinking of this, Brother Zhongzhong immediately planned to go offline to search for some drawings to study, but he suddenly realized that there was no need to do these things by himself.

He now has “professional talent” on his team.

By the way, Menghaha has been in the game for almost a week. I heard that she hangs out with the girls every day to "travel around" and is very happy. Let alone reporting, she doesn't even get a report.

Letting you pretend is not letting you fish! Sister, are you really here to enjoy the game?

no!

This physicist needs to find something to do, otherwise she will really become a salty fish.

——

"Quick, quick! Put these hardwoods on the car and send them to the arsenal! Our orders are three days late. I'm afraid Brother Zhongzhong is going to scold me."

In the stronghold camp at Cadman's Great River Bend, not far from the First National Arsenal of Transia, Taipal, who came here from the "Novice Village" to "guide the work", had just dismounted when he saw Uncle Fording in front of him. Anxious and angry, he greeted a group of lumberjacks to load the pre-processed black hardwood into the truck.

Not only are the workers working, the other brothers of the Riptide Knights are here to help whenever they have nothing to do.

There was a large area of ​​hardwood around the stronghold they chose that could be used for making gun stocks and gun bodies. Therefore, the arsenal signed a business contract with the Knights. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the first delivery.

“It’s very troublesome to deal with this shitty hardwood. The old local method took a month to deal with it, which forced me to go to our local wood factory to learn some lessons. As a result, I almost got called the police.

What a pain in the ass! "

Seeing Taipal, the leader of the first regiment, coming over, Uncle Fording, the leader of the second regiment, immediately expressed his bitterness.

This old middle school student and old actor said with a sigh on his face:

“I didn’t expect that even though I was already in my forties, I would still be like a student holding a notebook and asking for advice from those old workers.

Just buying cigarettes cost thousands of yuan, but the result was okay. "

He proudly pointed to the pile of hardwood that had been dried and said:

"The experience taught by others is indeed useful. These wood can be put into production now, but I don't know if Brother Zhongzhong has specialized craftsmen responsible for this.

I heard from old workers that making a gun body out of hardwood is a real technical job.

By the way, if you don't stay in your village, what are you doing here? "

"I have something to talk to you and the other ten captains."

Taipal said with a serious face:

"Mr. Huo, the village chief of Booty Bay, came to me a few hours ago. He proposed a deal to me, which will directly change the industrial layout of the Novice Village and affect the future reputation of the Riptide Knights, and it is related to We outsiders may cause a disturbance in the political circles of Transia.

This is not a small matter by any means, so I cannot make the decision privately. "

"Is that so?"

Uncle Fording frowned.

At his age, he had seen a lot of food before, so he naturally knew that Taipal's worries were not groundless, so he immediately sent someone to summon the ten captains who were still in the big camp to come to his tent for a meeting without saying anything.

But just when Uncle Fording and Tapal were about to talk first, a player who was serving as a sentry at the gate of the camp ran over. This guy with the ID name "Blood-stained Holy Spear Marcus" showed his style to the two. The group leader raised his hand to salute, and then said very excitedly:

"There is a visitor requesting reception at the gate of the camp! The two captains are a group of knights! Real knights! And the leaders are two female knights, standard blonde knights!

That armor, that war horse, that heroic appearance, those long legs. The dog is really good at planning! "

"Watch your appearance! Recruit!"

Taipal immediately scolded:

"You represent the face of the Riptide Knights and the image of the Holy Light. You cannot comment so vulgarly on a lady behind her back."

"Ah, I was wrong, Captain."

Bloodstained Holy Spear Marcus immediately apologized.

The advantage of being an RP party is that they can tolerate some demands that other players may see as nitpicking for the things they pursue.

Taipal did not continue to pursue the case, he asked:

"What does that female knight want to do when she comes to us?"

"Oh, she said she wanted to come and see the current situation of us knights. She also said that if possible, she would also like to become one of us."

Marcus said with a strange expression, and this answer surprised both Taipal and Uncle Fording.

In their plan, the Riptide Knights will definitely recruit NPCs in the future, so that they can have enough role-playing and a sense of immersion. However, NPCs will take the initiative to defect to the stronghold before they are even built. Even in the two guys' best dreams, it never came true.

"Invite her to come into the camp first, and let's talk before we talk about anything else."

Uncle Fording, who was occasionally funny but mostly mature and prudent, made a decision, so a few minutes later, in the central tent of the large camp, the two vanguard leaders met Miss Pinkie Pie and her escort knight Li. Wen.

Although everyone calls themselves knights, when the two sides meet at this time, they will make a decision.

The knight's plate armor on Miss Pinkie's body was wiped clean and shimmering with cold light. It also had the imprint of the family motto on it. It was matched with the knight's giant sword, the sword at the waist, the riding crop in the hand and the cloak behind her.

Although not wearing a helmet, he still looks "professional".

Knight Liwen's dress was a little "simpler", but her full-body plate armor still made the young players around her look envious.

On the other hand, Taipal and Uncle Fording were very shabby.

Although he tried his best to exchange his reputation for the veteran suit from the quartermaster of the People's Army, this chain armor was far inferior to the two female knights in terms of appearance and quality.

And no matter how dedicated you are to playing the role, it can only be regarded as "playing for fun", and Pinkie Pie has been trained as a knight since she was a child until she grew up.

The "knightlike" flavor in her body is something that little players can't express in any way.

Therefore, in comparison, this scene is like an epic meeting between a formal knight and a wandering knight. Not to mention embarrassing, even Tapal felt a little guilty in front of such a "uniquely modeled" NPC.

However, Miss Pinkie Pie never plays by common sense.

After meeting with the two knight captains, she took out a handwritten letter from her bag and handed it to Uncle Fording without even saying a polite word:

"I, Adeline Brigitte Sivir, finally won the championship in the Crimson Castle's boxing tournament and was recognized by my elders. I was able to fight with my squire Knight Liwen Hood in the ceremony of Lord Tribune Kudel. With recommendation, apply to join the Riptide Knights today!

My grandfather told me that you are all warriors from another world, who adhere to the morality called "Holy Light", and combine wisdom and courage to spread your loyalty and blood on this suffering land.

This is the life I have always longed for, and it is also the perfect starting point for me to truly practice my own knighthood!

I will command my escort knights to become honorary non-staff members of the Torrent Knights, and join you in the war against the Black Scourge.

I firmly believe that we will eventually drink the wine of victory on the battlefield together! "

Pinkie Pie spoke a lot impassionedly with her signature high-spirited attitude, but both Taipal and Uncle Fording were confused at this moment.

Wait a minute!

Uncle Fording looked at the recommendation letter from Baron Kudel in his hand and shouted in his heart:

"Wait a minute, this blond female knight, let us find out what happened first."

He thought so, but when he opened the recommendation letter, the vibration from the calculation orb made him realize that he had triggered a random event and a hidden task:

【Ding! The hidden plot branch task "Sivir of the Silver Dawn" has been triggered!

Mission description: The daughter of a knight family in the Anjou region chose to join the Torrent Knights under the guidance of her grandfather. Lord Kudel’s original intention was to hope that his granddaughter could see the cruelty of war and treat her life more rationally. , instead of putting all your life's hopes on chasing an impossible career.

But this does not mean that Kudel has no expectations for his granddaughter. He hopes that his granddaughter can become the first female Knight of the Holy Grail on the continent.

As the only official civil knight order currently existing on the land of Transia, you may have the responsibility to help a pure girl with ideals.

Perhaps it is also a good choice to regard it as the starting point of the legend of the Riptide Knights.

Basic goal: Help Adeline Pinkie Sivir survive the Black Disaster safely and gain fame.

Advanced goal: Assist Adeline Pinkie Sivir to become a Holy Grail Knight.

Hidden Objective: Guide Adeline Pinkie Sivir to become a follower of the Light.

Mission time limit: Lasts until the end of the black disaster.

Mission rewards: Transia’s official army establishment, Stromgarde material replenishment, Nantes Ranger’s family knight treasure chest key X12.

Tip from the development team!

Miss Pinkie's family is the largest military supplies dealer in Anjou. The armor and weapons produced by the Sivir family are truly high-quality in the entire Plantagenet Kingdom.

Perhaps you can try to get some help from her to build the Knights. 】

"Damn! Is this because the development team saw that our knights were having difficulty in developing, so they gave us a 'big daddy' out of thin air?"

While Uncle Fording shared the task with Taipal, he exclaimed in his heart:

"Development team! You are my god!"
