Mi Zhu nodded and had nothing to say. He was really conscientious in this regard. Africa is currently a civilized desert, and the warriors there mainly used stone tools. After he sent the precious iron tools there, he was subjected to this
This kind of courtesy is not a matter of course.
"Actually, don't think too much. This is really not my intention." Mi Zhu sighed and said, "When I sent our standard weapons over for the first time, I told them that we would exchange them with each other, and said that the quantity was very high.
It’s enough, but they don’t believe it.”
How can you believe it? In that damned place in Africa, one more piece of iron means more lives. It is very normal for you to encounter ferocious beasts when you walk on the road there. As of now, Africa ranks second in terms of the scale of ferocious beasts.
, has far exceeded the total number of Africans.
This insane scale has made the African region now enter the state of monster hunters, so iron tools are really precious to Africans, and after Mi Zhu took the iron tools from the treasury and had people send them over, the African people learned to teach themselves without any teacher.
Bid.
After all, if you squat in the wild to turn Qi into ferocious beasts here, as long as they are not dead, you can see many of them every day. To say they are rare is not precious at all. Even if they are ferocious beasts with internal Qi separated from the body, if you squat outside and do not move,
You can encounter them all the time.
Therefore, Africans do not have any special feelings about the prices that are quite crazy compared to other places. They have not seen any ferocious beasts until now.
A world-breaking beast, leading dozens of inner qi to leave the body, and thousands of people practicing qi to become gangs, passed by a certain tribe. This kind of thing has happened to make people collapse. Is there any problem with the meat that requires the inner qi to leave the body?
"The situation over there is really not good." Mi Zhu sighed and said, "Once millions of wildebeests migrate, how likely will there be multiple boundaries broken, and nearly a hundred inner Qi separated from the body moving together? And because wild animals are used to it.
Led by a leader? When the leader is very strong, the strength of their cloud energy is actually very powerful."
"So? This group of creatures is now the main enemy of Africa?" Li You's interest increased greatly? In any case, these are all edible opponents, which is good? If defeated, eat them directly? As for plural destruction?
The collective action of nearly a hundred inner Qi leaving the body is nothing. These animals are large in scale and cannot handle the Han Dynasty battle formation.
"Huh?" Mi Zhu looked at Li You and was silent for a while. "Generally speaking, these animals look like cows with horse tails. They are mainly eaten by other beasts. According to the local experienced chief,
The broken world inside this thing is usually eaten by wild beasts back then."
"..." Li You and Jia Xu were silent. Others also looked at each other. This living environment is really cruel.
"There are even families of multiple boundary-breaking lions over there. Those lions mainly feed on wildebeests that are above the Qigang level. In fact, African beasts don't have much desire to attack humans? Because humans are relatively stronger.
But the problem is that conflicts between two groups of beasts often occur? In addition, some beasts chase and kill large groups of beasts..." Mi Zhu sighed and said.
Originally, Mi Zhu thought that the ferocious beasts in Africa were encircling humans collectively? What was the result? In this case, Mi Zhu needed to consider the social nature of ferocious beasts. However, after Mi Zhu learned the true situation, Mi Zhu didn't know what to say.
The ferocious beasts in Africa have almost no behavior against humans. They are just affected, and due to the disproportionate progress in strength and certain problems with intelligence in Africa, they mainly rely on small-scale cooperation to fight.
However, in the face of the family-based beasts that have appeared in Africa, small-scale cooperation is simply equivalent to losing people's lives. As far as Mi Zhu knows from the intelligence, the locals are still unable to militarize.
Relying on human organization and coordination to suppress ferocious beasts relies more on physical strength.
Mi Zhu just wants to say one thing about this, given the environment, if you don't rely on your brain, but on your muscles, you probably have to practice Qi per capita to become Gang, and one-third of the internal Qi can be separated from the body in order to fight.
"In that case, the situation is not bad. I thought these ferocious beasts had already formed a tribe." Li Yang nodded. Since they still have the characteristics of beasts, there is nothing to be afraid of. When the regular troops of the Han army land, they will catch and kill them.
Yes, what kind of breaking the boundary is like attacking the army?
"No, but the scale and development speed of African beasts are indeed a bit outrageous." Mi Zhu said with emotion, "There are really many wild beasts, but in the short term we don't have much spare power, we can only sell them some weapons, and just live like this.
Already."
"This is a good business." Lu Su said with a smile. The Han Dynasty retired a lot of weapons every year. In fact, the quality of these weapons was not a problem, but Chen Xi felt that it was almost time, so he retired and collectively did maintenance.
Then send it to the militia.
After a few years when the militiamen are used up, they will be smelted into farm tools depending on the situation. In fact, the losses during this process are not small, and the quality of most of the weapons is not a problem.
"Now our weapons are basically made of alloy materials, and the upper limit of temperature maintenance is higher than before." Mi Zhu nodded and said, "So the previous steel weapons have been withdrawn a lot, and they will be used to assist the African people.
Hey, life is really difficult for people over there."
"Why don't you build a smelting plant there?" Sun Qian looked at Mi Zhu strangely and asked, "Instead of transporting weapons thousands of miles away, it is better to find ore for smelting on the spot and build a small blast furnace.
, one ton or half a ton of molten iron a day, isn’t that pretty good.”
"It's very good, but now I can't keep it." Mi Zhu said matter-of-factly. It's not like selling ironware to aristocratic families. He built a small steel furnace of 1 square meter on the spot and produced one ton or half a ton of molten iron every day. It was basically not enough.
Steel is produced and then hammered and hammered by craftsmen to turn it into steel weapons or something.
If you build a building for aristocratic families, you are your own family. Even though a small steel furnace on one side cannot make steel, and the output is very rubbish, if you build it for major aristocratic families, the major aristocratic families will definitely welcome it, even if it is a small steel furnace on one side.
Steel furnaces need maintenance every once in a while, and there may be some minor problems from time to time, but it is true that it exceeds one hundred tons of molten iron a year.
This is better than anything else. One hundred tons of molten iron, with the help of a blacksmith, can arm several legions. You must know that the armor of an ordinary soldier only weighs about 15 kilograms. One ton of molten iron
Including losses, sixty can be armed.
It can arm four regiments of soldiers in a year. It doesn't look like much, but to be honest, it is very powerful. However, the technology is not up to standard, and the furnace is always blowing up.
But even so, some families still chose the superior small steel furnace. After repeated explosions, these families successfully mastered how to make small steel furnaces, during which many people died in each family. Steel furnace explosions such as
That's not a joke.
And now the steel furnace stuck on the second side is really too afraid to push forward. I even asked this group of people out of conscience whether they have completely mastered the small steel furnace on one side. This group of people probably need to hesitate.
"It's better to sell weapons and get a small steel furnace over there. I guess the Kingdom of Kush will come over and take over the steel furnace." Mi Zhu sighed and said.
Regardless of the size of the steel furnace, a steel furnace that produces more than 100 tons of iron per year is very precious in this era. At present, the annual steel production in the world is less than 100,000 tons, and the Han Dynasty accounts for more than 60%.
Kushan only accounts for 30%, and Rome may barely have 10,000 tons.
Therefore, if a steel furnace with an annual output of more than 100 tons appears right under your nose, the Kingdom of Kush will definitely come to take over it as long as it is in its right mind.
After all, the Romans also realized the problem. The reason why Rome was called Da Qin among the names of the Han Dynasty was that in addition to the fact that the other party was located in the west, there was also a very important point. Both the Romans and Da Qin used bronze and black.
science and technology.
The bronze smelting technology of both sides was very outrageous, surpassing the iron tools of the same era, so for a long time, the mainstream weapon of Rome was bronze. However, after defeating the Celts, Severus finally realized the problem.
.
Even black-tech bronzes have a limited temperature limit, so iron became an inevitable choice. However, Rome was a little late in smelting steel. Even if it annexed the Celts and used them all to make steel, it would still be impossible.
Occupying a coal and iron open-pit mine, there is no need to screen the ore, and with the benefit of incredible quality, the output has not exceeded 10,000 tons.
However, the Roman people are not very popular, so they just go ahead with it. Anyway, isn't the output also increasing? It won't take long to reach 30,000 tons. Of course, if Chen Xi is there, it can reach 300,000 tons. But this
It doesn't matter. With Australia transporting iron ore, Chen Xi can still reach 200,000 tons, even if it can't reach 300,000 tons.
As for Kushan, Kushan currently has materials and technology, but with the collapse of Brahman, professional craftsmen have no way to continue production according to the previous operating methods. Problems have arisen both upstream and downstream. By the time Vesudev I realized the problem
At that time, maybe all the craftsmen went to farm because of the new Brahmin division of labor.
At that time, whether we can recruit professional blacksmiths of the current scale again may require consideration of social issues.
In short, because Kushan is currently engaged in the merger of divine power and royal power, its own internal system has become obviously chaotic, the organizational system has been twisted into a mess, and the social division of labor that the Brahmin system was best at has also become a mess.
However, these problems should not be exposed in the short term. At least for now, it seems that Vesutiva I is very confident and is ready to accept Khusroi, promote him as the new legion commander, and then channelize outstanding members of the Dawn Legion.
A path to advancement.
This is nothing to others, but for Khusroi who knew about the collapse of the Dalit-Chola dynasty, it was no less than a ray of hope in the darkness.
