"But..." A voice with a regretful tone suddenly sounded in this small secret room.
Hearing this voice, the eyes of everyone in the secret room suddenly shifted to Zhang Yunfeng. Even the old man in gray robe who had closed his eyes and pretended to sleep opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yunfeng opposite who had his head lowered. As for Austin,
The emperor of the Rockwell Empire looked at Zhang Yunfeng eagerly.
"But what?" His Majesty Austin, who had already imagined that his empire's army was equipped with a large number of high-end equipment and swept across the human kingdom, heard Zhang Yunfeng's voice with a regretful tone, his heart suddenly went cold, and he quickly asked.
"Your Majesty, although I do have the smelting technique for that fine metal. However, this smelting technique is extremely complex, the production conditions are relatively harsh, and the raw ore and auxiliary materials required for smelting the metal are also very demanding.
Maybe mass production." Zhang Yunfeng said helplessly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he laughed in his heart.
Before, when Zhang Yunfeng saw Austin's face full of joy and smile, he knew that he had swallowed the bait he threw out. And it was completely digested. With a sudden thought, he immediately started to close the net to catch fish.
"Don't worry about this. As long as you can guarantee to make me a weapon like Sacra's fine gold sword today, I will satisfy you with all the materials and production conditions." When Austin heard the reason, he immediately patted his chest.
Guaranteed back-up support for Zhang Yunfeng. Compared with countless high-end equipment, what are some materials? With their Rockwell Empire’s thousands of years of heritage, what kind of materials can’t be found?
Hearing Austin's heroic words, Zhang Yunfeng said in his heart: "The big fish finally took the bait."
In fact, he will tell Austin how the materials are insufficient and precious. He just wants to get some rare metals and a large amount of raw ores from Austin. You know, although he now has the secondary authority of intelligent machine tools, there are many technologies
All of them could not be converted into physical objects due to the lack of some unique metals. Therefore, he was eager to find some effective ways to solve the dilemma he was currently encountering.
When Austin asked him about the smelting techniques of the metal mesh just now, Zhang Yunfeng immediately made a small calculation in his mind. After all, the Rockwell Empire is one of the three great empires of the human kingdom. It has existed for thousands of years.
The background is not guaranteed. They don't have any precious metals or rare metals.
So Zhang Yunfeng came up with the idea of the Rockwell Empire and tried to turn the Rockwell Empire into his own logistics and supply center through certain exchange conditions. If he had the material supply from the Rockwell Empire, he would be able to use it now.
The technology at his disposal will surely increase his power in a short period of time. As long as his wings are full, Zhang Yunfeng will not be afraid even if he falls out with the Rockwell Empire.
It should be noted that he has a lot of modern arms and firearms that have been integrated with magic civilization. If only a single soldier is equipped with firearms, it will not be very impressive here on the continent of Augus. But if it is formed into a fully-organized army, then
The effect is completely different. The biggest advantage of modern arms and weapons is cooperation and assistance.
A squad of 100 people, if equipped with snipers, machine gunners, demolition experts, etc., can face a squad of 1,000 people composed of bronze swordsmen. As long as there is no close combat between the two sides, with the attack characteristics of firearms, even if they are separated,
Just a few hundred meters away, you can still annihilate all the enemies, and still suffer zero casualties.
With this level of consideration, Zhang Yunfeng will naturally not let go of this great opportunity. Maybe he can take this opportunity and use it as a bargaining chip to provide new alloy weapons to let Austin protect him for a period of time.
He can develop his power with confidence.
Of course, Zhang Yunfeng knows that his idea is good. But how to lure Austin to take the bait is another problem. If the sweetness is too little, Austin, the king of the empire, will naturally not be interested. But if the sweetness is too great
, I am afraid that Austin will kill himself at the first opportunity and then monopolize this sweet spot.
So Zhang Yunfeng only gave a vague general idea, leaving the rest to Austin's own imagination. Little did he know that Austin, the emperor, had great ambitions, so he suddenly thought of going on an imperial expedition, and as a result
Naturally, there was no doubt that he fell into Zhang Yunfeng's trap.
"If Your Majesty can maintain the supply of materials, then my output of smelting that metal will naturally increase a lot, but the output will still not be too high! I'm afraid it won't be able to meet Your Majesty's needs!" Zhang Yunfeng said with concern.
Austin's face changed slightly, he frowned, and asked, "If there are sufficient materials, how much metal can you produce that can rival an adamantine sword?"
"Uh, that's it!" Zhang Yunfeng naturally wouldn't let Austin know his output. Although with the current production capacity of the super arsenal, it is not a problem to make five or six tons of high-quality alloys a day, there is no way he would let Austin know.
Knowing his true production capacity. What's more, if he improves the strength of Austin's men, and if he falls out with the Rockwell Empire in the future, he will still be the loser, letting others use the weapons he produces.
Attacking himself, not to mention how depressed he is, Zhang Yunfeng will naturally not engage in such a loss-making business.
He pretended to think about it for a while, even counting on his fingers, and then said, "If there are enough materials, the smelted high-quality metal can be made into fifty sets of armor, or a hundred swords."
"So few?" Austin frowned and said with a hint of displeasure. Apparently he was not satisfied with the output Zhang Yunfeng said.
"Your Majesty, what can you say? Good thing, the output will naturally not be too high, otherwise the mainland would have been flooded with high-end equipment, don't you think so?" Zhang Yunfeng chuckled.
"That's right." Austin was convinced by Zhang Yunfeng's statement and couldn't help but nodded.
Indeed, if high-end equipment could really be produced, then high-end equipment on the mainland would not be so rare.
After thinking about this, Austin's frown relaxed a lot.
After all, according to Zhang Yunfeng's output, there can be about a hundred pieces of high-end equipment in a month, and thousands of high-end equipment in a year. As long as there is more than ten years of accumulation, you can also put together a machine equipped with high-end equipment.
Army. And he is only about eighty years old now. According to the theoretical lifespan of a sword master of 180 years, he is still in his prime. In order to defeat the other two empires, he has the patience to wait more than ten years.
As long as it can overwhelm the other two empires and become the first of the three empires, everything will be worth it.
Austin is worthy of being the king of an empire. In order to overwhelm the other two empires and achieve hegemony, he even waited for more than ten years to lie dormant. This shows the emperor's ambition.
Now that he had made a decision, Austin also fully demonstrated his decisiveness in imperial application and said immediately: "Well, from today on, I will allocate a large ironmaking plant in the empire to you. As for personnel, materials, and funds,
Whatever you need, just ask, as long as you can guarantee the production value and quality, I can meet all your needs. If someone threatens your safety and hinders your production during this period, I will solve it for you."
This is both a commission and a transaction. Austin's words were very clear. Zhang Yunfeng naturally understood the meaning of his words. He couldn't help but nodded and said to himself: "Finally, we have negotiated the terms.
It seems that I can feel more at ease these days."
"Then when do you plan to take over that large ironworks and start production?" Austin asked again. He wanted to see what kind of equipment Zhang Yunfeng could give him as soon as possible. If it is really like what Zhang Yunfeng said
, the quality of the weapons made of high-quality metal he produces can be comparable to high-end equipment, so he can take reassurance and let Zhang Yunfeng continue. But if he cannot make such high-end equipment, Austin will not be polite to him.
, when the old and new grudges are settled together, Austin will not be polite to Zhang Yunfeng. The one who can be the king of God does not rise to the throne with countless blood.
This puts Zhang Yunfeng in a difficult position. He can guess some of Austin's inner calculations. The sooner he can get the equipment out, the worse it will be for him. If he waits until he has arranged all the production work in the ironmaking plant and enters
Normal production track. When the time comes, Austin suddenly turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone. It is too passive for him. Zhang Yunfeng does not want to let Austin get his wish so early.
But if he wants to delay time, he has no excuse?
But fortunately, Bruce, the old fox, seemed to notice Zhang Yunfeng's embarrassment and said from the side: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yunfeng has joined our college. The college will start in a few days. I'm afraid he will leave by then.
not open."
Zhang Yunfeng immediately gave the old fox a grateful look and said in his heart: "What a good boss! We haven't even taken office yet, and we have started to protect the calf. With such an old boss protecting me, I will be free in the future."
It seems that my original decision was too wise, otherwise there would be no amulet now!"
When Austin heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "President Brutz, don't you think it is a waste to let Zhang Yunfeng teach in the academy. If he becomes a tutor, he will only be able to teach dozens of people at most, but if he
If you run the iron smelting plant and produce a large amount of sophisticated equipment for the empire, then countless imperial soldiers will benefit. Don’t you think that the latter’s contribution is far more important than that of an academy instructor?”
"But..." the old fox rolled his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty, I asked Zhang Yunfeng to be a mentor. In addition to wanting him to use his extraordinary talent to educate the students, the most important purpose is to want Zhang Yunfeng to represent us.
The Rockwell Empire will participate in the continental race competition half a year later. Your Majesty, you also know this. In the past three hundred years, most of the players in the Rockwell Empire participating in the race competition are average in strength. Even the preliminary competition of the human race has failed every time.
If we can't play well, we can't pass the preliminary rounds and enter the finals every time, let alone the final race competition. Just being embarrassed has cost us more than three hundred years. If we don't use Zhang Yunfeng to wash away the humiliation, you let us
Where do you want to put the dignity of Rockwell Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts!"
This time it was Austin's turn to be in trouble. He had also heard about the racial competition. Every time he met with the emperors of the other two empires, they often teased him about this burden, even if he appeared to be in trouble.
He just laughed and seemed not to care at all. But in fact, he also cared very much. After all, being ridiculed in front of others for his shortcomings made even Austin's imperial mind feel aggrieved.
On the one hand, it is an opportunity to improve the strength of the entire imperial army, and on the other hand, it is an opportunity to wash away the humiliation of the empire for hundreds of years. That is what Austin hopes for. Put it in front of him and let him make a choice, Austin is really in trouble.
Zhang Yunfeng also had the idea of those scarce metals in the Rockwell Empire, so naturally he would not embarrass Austin, so he quickly said: "Dean, Your Majesty, anyway, as a tutor, I only have a few days of regular teaching time. The rest of the time
It was arranged by myself, why not do it like this!"
Zhang Yunfeng glanced at the old fox and Austin, then smiled and said, "Except for the days when I am teaching regularly, I go to the ironworks to take charge of production. Is it okay for you two to watch this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, both Bruce and Austin fell into deep thought. Zhang Yunfeng's method was indeed a easing strategy, which could not only meet Austin's equipment needs, but also replace the Rockwell Empire Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts.
Participating in a racial competition is not a solution among solutions.
Then Austin and Brutz discussed in low voices for a while, and finally reached a consensus. Except for the three days of regular teaching time, Zhang Yunfeng must stay in the college. At other times, Zhang Yunfeng will make his own arrangements and be in charge of the ironmaking plant.
If something happens to the ironworks, Zhang Yunfeng must put down all the affairs of the college and resolve the matters at the ironworks first.
