Chapter 447 (1/2)
At this time, Brian suddenly stopped and shouted at Donne, ”big brother, come here, too. There's something good for you!”
Donne was stunned and gladly followed.
”Wait for me to come and start studying!”
After Brian warned Nokia, he took Donne to the forging room. After a loud noise, Brian came out with a half body armor.
Donne raised his eyebrows and said, ”is this what you've been studying the other day?”
”That's right!”
Brian said proudly, ”you can try it. I promise you will be surprised by its superior defense!”
”Really?”
Donne nodded noncommittally. Since Ellington installed fish scale armor and lock armor, this closed armor has become more and more unpopular, and people like Locke will continue to choose this armor.
Brian put half his armor on a dummy and handed Donne a sword: ”try it with all your strength!”
Donne raised his long sword: ”do your best?”
Brian immediately felt guilty: ”er... Cut it gently.”
Donne took his strength and gently cut a sword. When the long sword was cut on the armor, he obviously felt a sense of delay. The power was like being dispersed at once... No, it was buffered. The originally concentrated power was buffered many times. The specific performance was that the sword failed to break the defense, but just scratched on the armor.
”This is...”
Donne was surprised. It was obviously an additional anti-seismic buffer layer. With the skills of dwarf craftsmen, it was really not easy to do this.
”Surprised?”
Brian said proudly: ”this is what I noticed when I fought against the polluters in the black rock cave. Those soldiers who were hard carried were either dead or disabled, but the soldiers who retreated with the trend could survive well, so I thought about whether the armor could make such a change.”
Donne sincerely said: ”it's a very good design. If it can realize mass production on the assembly line, it will be very popular with the soldiers.”
”Mass production? It's estimated that it's a little troublesome. Some of the crafts are difficult... But I can contact some dwarf craftsmen. If they are willing to work for you, we can make them by hand.”
”The efficiency of manual manufacturing is too slow. Find a way to solve the difficulty of mass production.”
Donne waved his big hand and said, ”if the whole is not good, it will be divided into parts. Parts can be produced in molds to realize mass manufacturing. As long as they can be disassembled, assembly line production can be realized.”
”This... Well, I'll think about it later.”
”It's up to you. You can recruit some dwarf craftsmen if you want. Their salary will be paid according to the normal standard.”
Donne stayed at the Institute for a while and went out to keep busy with other things.
While Ellington was busy with R & D, construction and accepting refugees, Castle palmy was in the north.
”You said those villages were empty?”
Lawrence's face was very ugly. The tax official went to the village to collect protection tax. As a result, he found that all the people in several villages had disappeared!
Not frozen to death, starved to death, or killed by Warcraft, but directly disappeared!
Lawrence is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart. Just a little thought, his face is even worse. Obviously, he also knows that the residents of those villages ran away while the snow closed the road.
”Damn! Those damn Dalits! They are my property!”
Lawrence, who was very angry, pushed all the things on the table to the ground. He gasped and asked, ”did the patrol find any trace? Can you catch it back?”
Lawrence doesn't care about the villagers' lives. It doesn't matter. What matters is that they live and can create value. For Lawrence, their status is equivalent to slaves, or free workers. What Lawrence needs is their labor ability.
”Lord, the snow has begun to melt. It's hard for the patrol to find footprints. Because the frozen soil has melted, it's hard to find any trace, but...”
The housekeeper lowered his voice and said, ”but Captain Jack found some clues that clearly showed that they were going south.”
”South? Jinhu town?”
”Lord, all the people in Jinhu town have disappeared...”
”It's not golden lake town, is it... Ellington?”
The housekeeper nodded silently, and Lawrence's mood was even worse. He felt a pain in his forehead at the thought of his people fleeing to Ellington and becoming the guy's wealth.
