Chapter 419： : Wet snow and ice, ready for non-slip thorns

"It's too inexplicable to appear on this sunny day..."

Zong Shen muttered to himself.

He looked up at the clear sky and stepped down the steps.

Wearing rabbit fur boots and rabbit fur leggings, he stepped into the snow.

Relying on the weight of the body, it was easy to step on it.

However, the foot feel at this time is obviously different from yesterday.

It becomes slippery and it is difficult to feel the presence of friction.

This shows that a layer of ice has formed under the snow.

This sudden sunny day caused the temperature to rise.

Those snow packs first thaw and then freeze, shrinking in size.

From the original loose and light dry snow to a more solid wet snow.

"Snapped…"

"Hey..."

Zong Shen walked on the snow, he weighed at least two hundred jin in armor.

It can crush the thick bottom ice layer that has not yet condensed.

With the crisp sound of breaking ice, Zong Shen came to the outside of the courtyard.

Zong Shen already knew why it was sunny and warming up before entering the second stage of Winter.

This is by no means a good thing for the lords.

The warm sunshine and bright sunny days are just a disguise, and beauty is temporary.

The sunny day this time will only make the subsequent challenges more difficult.

When dry, the scattered snow all collapsed into wet snow and ice.

After the start of the second phase of Winter, the temperature dropped sharply and the climate changed again.

The new snow will cover the wet snow and ice.

At this time, if the lord wants to travel, it will be much more difficult.

Smooth ice will seriously affect walking.

Unless there are spikes for walking on the ice.

Otherwise, it will inevitably have a serious impact on the travel of the lord.

Especially after entering the second stage of Winter, the leader-level snow monsters will begin to appear.

This clearly increases the difficulty of the subsequent challenges.

Calm and tranquility are temporary.

If I was bewildered by the soothing rhythm of the first phase of Winter.

Then in the face of the following two winter stages, it is bound to suffer some losses.

"You have to prepare first."

"Otherwise, it may really affect future actions."

Zong Shen thought while walking.

Feel the slight slipping from the bottom of the boots.

If it weren't for the current ice layer was not very thick, it could be crushed by him.

It is conceivable how big obstacles may be caused to actions in the future.

He walked slowly to the [second-order market] that was moved to the side of the small courtyard.

After opening the hanging sale, it was found that only about one-fifth of the total number of warm quilts that were hanging yesterday was sold.

And the one that sells the most is the cheapest [returned sheepskin jacket].

Of the 973 pieces previously listed for sale, there are still 730 pieces left, and 243 pieces have been sold, which is close to 25%.

In this part of the sale, a total of 21,060 parts of wood, 6480 parts of stone, 8470 parts of hemp, 1656 parts of iron, 91 parts of copper, 6 parts of Mithril, and 10 primary element crystals were harvested.

As for the higher grade [Sewn Sheepskin Coat], 500 pieces have been sold, and 407 pieces remain.

93 pieces were sold, and a total of 13608 pieces of wood, 2268 pieces of stone, 1778 pieces of hemp, 1008 pieces of iron, 25 pieces of mithril, and 20 pieces of primary element crystals were obtained for Zong Shen.

The smallest number of [Brand New Sheepskin Jackets] has 100 pieces on sale, and 93 pieces are left.

Among the 7 pieces sold, 1890 pieces of wood were obtained for him.

The sales of the top grade [Double-Sided Warm Clothes] are not very good.

Although as many as 500 pieces were sold, it took almost a day to reach 32 copies.

Obtained 6480 pieces of wood, 56 pieces of copper, 36 pieces of Mithril, and 16 pieces of elementary elemental crystals.

In the end, the fifty [wool quilts] were the most pitiful, and only one copy was sold.

1170 pieces of wood were exchanged.

Among the basic resources, wood is the most common type of transaction.

This wave of sales is lower than expected, but it is also very reasonable.

After all, the first phase of Winter was so relaxed.

It is impossible for the cold demand to reach its peak state.

And in these cold-proof quilts on sale, the ability to keep warm is also gradually improved.

Since the relatively low-priced quilt can satisfy the demand.

So why bother to buy more expensive and high-end quilts?

Zong Shen was not surprised by this.

Now it can also be regarded as the precipitation period for top-grade listings.

The real outbreak period is far from coming.

He extracted all these resources and put them in the territory storage box.

As a resource reserve for territory development.

Then he took out the [Heavy Bearer Mech] and drove towards the commercial area where the [Blacksmith Shop] was located.

To the southwest, here is the business district of the territory.

In addition to [Blacksmith's Shop] and [Tailor Shop], there are also [Junior Alchemy Workshop], [Bakery], [Brewery], and [Junior Pharmacy] buildings with commercial development properties.

However, there were only [Blacksmith Shop] and [Tailor Shop].

The rest of the buildings are in an idle state.

All were covered with a thick layer of snow.

It's like putting on a white velvet suit.

Zong Shen drove the weight-bearer mech and stopped directly at the door of the blacksmith's shop.

Because of the sunny weather, the blacksmith shop opened the large windows and doors on both sides.

There is no need for a heater here, it is already very warm.

Uncle Dwarf is holding the forging hammer, forging the iron embryo just taken out of the furnace.

Put it on the big anvil in the blacksmith's shop, and the beating sparks shot everywhere.

Gradually forged the iron embryo into the shape of a long sword.

The dwarf uncle followed in a sheepskin jacket, but he didn't wear anything inside.

He opened his clothes, revealing a huge beer belly and strong chest muscles.

The upper chest is covered with dark chest hair.

Beads of sweat flowed down between the forehead, dripping from the sides to the chest.

This look looks a bit funny and contradictory.

But it showed the ruggedness of the dwarf uncle.

Two sturdy blacksmith apprentices were helping.

These apprentices are all farmers recruited by Zong Shen's rare-level talent farmer recruitment ticket that Zong Shen used to exchange points for.

It is also the talent that Zong Shen has specially reserved for the future development of the territory.

Farmers are indeed the weakest basic population in the territory.

But it is also an omnipotent population with great cultivation value.

These two blacksmith apprentices have gone through these days of study.

The information prefix before the name has changed from a farmer to a half-gray [Blacksmith Apprentice].

Because they were summoned directly by the recruitment roll, their level reached the fixed standard of lv10.

Compared with farmers like Ergou and San Fat, it is also easier to cultivate.

San Fat is a relatively self-disciplined farmer, even if he trains every day during this period, he only reaches lv8.

In addition, Zong Shen also discovered that in the process of learning forging, not only the information prefix has changed, but even the experience value has also increased slightly.

At the same time, the power attribute is two or three points more than the original state.

This shows that professional learning can not only gain experience, but also affect attributes.

In addition to training in combat and training grounds, professional training can also improve levels.

But among these options, the most efficient one is fighting.

Zong Shen stood at the door silently and watched.

The sound of wrought iron beating the sound of the tracks of the weight-bearer mecha.

With concentration, you will not be distracted and notice other things.

The dwarf uncle was forging iron, and the two apprentices were not idle.

An apprentice is dealing with some monster materials and minerals such as copper and iron.

The other apprentice is processing the last forged sword embryo and quenching it a second time.

The two blacksmith apprentices and the dwarf uncle just formed a cycle of forging.

Uncle Dwarf personally grasps the most difficult forging.

The blacksmith apprentice is responsible for lay hands.

If they want to forge by themselves, they have to learn and adapt for a while.

Zong Shen leaned against the door and watched with interest for more than ten minutes.

It wasn't until the uncle dwarf completed the first forging of the sword embryo in hand that he stopped for a while.

Waiting for the apprentice to take out the twice-quenched sword embryo.

Uncle Dwarf put down the forging hammer and wiped the sweat from his face.

When I was about to instruct one of the apprentices.

Out of the corner of his eye, he finally caught a glimpse of Zong Shen who was standing at the door.

The sun was dazzling and dazzling, making Zong Shen descend like a god.

"what!"

"My lord, why are you here?"

The dwarf uncle was already full of loyalty to Zong Shen.

When he saw Zong Shen, he walked quickly to the door.

The short body bowed slightly and said happily after saluting.

"I'll look at your situation."

"There is also a new thing that you need to forge urgently."

Zong Shen took a few steps forward slowly, free from the sunlight.

He came to the side of the dwarf uncle, and put his broad shoulders behind him.

"What does your lord want to forge?"

Uncle Dwarf asked eagerly.

During this period in the territory, he had a very fulfilling and happy life.

He used forging and work to make himself find sustenance again.

Forget the past full of regrets and regrets.

Facts have proved that busyness and fullness can make people forget their worries more than good wine.

Concentrated work can divert negative attention.

"I want you to rush to work out a batch of non-slip ground thorns."

"Like rabbit fur boots, it can be put on the feet."

"Four to six sets of metal spikes are to be set below."

"Each group should have two spikes corresponding to three to five centimeters in length."

"The chain must be strong to ensure that it will not fall off during the battle."

"As for the size, you just need to design one size fits all."

"There is no need to exceed the size of the shoe upper, just make sure that the spikes can be pressed into the ice."

"The chain has a movable tightening structure so that it can be adjusted manually."

Zong Shen whispered his request.

In order to cope with the changes that may occur in the weather after this.

Zong Shen decided to make a batch of non-slip ground thorns to be put on the boots.

Used to reduce the impact of wet snow and ice on operations.

When the leader-level snow monster appears, it will not hinder the fighting of the soldiers.

Including the possibility of going out and active crusade in the future.

All need to have such non-slip equipment.

"I understand, my lord, the production of this kind of non-slip spikes is not complicated."

"I just made some common molds recently."

"Before noon today, we should rush out thirty payments."

"If you want to arm soldiers from all over the territory and work overtime to rush the system, it will probably be done by noon tomorrow."

Uncle Dwarf looked at the same workbench and replied seriously and honestly.

Dwarves, like those green-skinned orcs, are very stubborn and straightforward guys.

They are not good at lying. This kind of nature is manifested in work, that is, to be practical.

The conclusion he told was never mixed with water.

Zong Shen nodded with approval.

"Then you will work hard, Uncle Dwarf."

"You will have a special meal supply today at noon and evening."

"In addition, except for the non-slip ground thorns used by the soldiers."

"I also need a batch of similar ground thorns that can be mounted on wolf claws and horseshoes."

"The quantity doesn't need to be too much. I need 24 sets of wolf claw models, which is 96."

"There are only 12 sets of horseshoe models, which is 48."

"The soldiers used at least 30 to 40 sets first."

"These are the number and types of priority needs."

"For those who make warriors, and then make wolf claws and horseshoes."

"After you have enough, you can continue to make the ground spikes needed to meet the needs of other fighters."

After Zong Shen praised him, he urgently added some details.

It is best to be able to rush out the first batch before noon.

In this way, the opening of the second stage can be dealt with calmly.

Follow-up, after meeting the needs of the territory.

The rest can be listed for sale.

Zong Shen has no doubt that this thing can definitely become a hot sales item.

And because it was forged by the territorial dwarf uncle himself.

The cost is just some resources and materials, and the time of Uncle Dwarf.

Among them, the profit margin is still very large.

Listening to Zong Shen's tone, Uncle Dwarf knew that this was an urgent task.

Also unambiguous, asked the two apprentices to take out the iron embryo and the twice-quenched sword embryo from the blast furnace.

From the workbench, I found the row mold of the split iron ring made before.

On one row of molds, dozens of knuckle-sized iron rings with open gaps can be produced.

In addition, there are some molds with different shapes.

These molds are made of steel after repeated forging and smelting.

It is made with the power of rune magic.

Can withstand the temperature of ordinary molten iron.

For the Bronzebeard·Brewery Uncle who has advanced dwarf skills, this is not a big deal.

Zong Shen nodded in relief after seeing Lord Dwarf act immediately.

After a few simple words of encouragement, he left the forge.

Zong Shen recalled the experience of meeting the dwarf uncle and felt very lucky.

Senior technical personnel can be called master craftsmen even in the giant city.

Further up there are rare special craftsmen and legendary craftsmen.

Being able to have a senior blacksmith in the early stages of the development of the territory is indeed infinitely beneficial.

It also laid a certain talent foundation for the future development of the territory's science and technology tree.

New technology is destined to require superb smelting technology as a bottom line.

Including forging materials and casting molds, blacksmith skills are required.

And Uncle Dwarf is out of blacksmithing skills.

He also mastered the rune forging technology of the Bronzebeard dwarves.

Although the rating is only intermediate, it can also play a big role.

It fills up the gap of talents in a certain aspect of the territory!
