Weaponry?
When I heard Gao Wen, Victoria couldn’t help but move.
The situation did not exceed expectations, and everything was as short as she had speculated in these days.
In the past three days, Victoria has used various methods to investigate the situation in the South. Although she has no direct access to the staff of the Administrative Office and has no way to leave the city, she has access to the Cecil market. I can touch their newspapers, hear the sounds of the streets, and even see two magic projections. The Cecils call this kind of magic called "program". From these publicly disseminated information, she can reason a lot of usefulness. s things.
Cecil's development is very fast, and the founding hero of Govin Cecil, who had experienced the Gangster period, seems to be using his knowledge from 700 years ago to build this land. He has opened several amazing projects. This includes redistributing the entire population of the South and building several new towns at the same time, and such a large-scale project will undoubtedly require amazing wealth to support.
The new Principality of Cecil should be already financially nervous. This is the conclusion that Victoria has inferred in the investigations of these days.
Before arriving in the South, she had been thinking about what to use to appease and woo the "recognition" of the founding father from the royal family, or that all the "orthodox certification" from the contemporary aristocracy was The Duke of the orthodox source is meaningless, but after knowing that Cecil’s finances may be tense, she believes she has found the best “gift”.
And after seeing the extraordinary equipment of the Cecil, she did have a great interest in those things. She just didn’t know how to take the initiative to open up in this regard, but now it seems...there is a need for both sides. It is the best situation.
"You should have seen my army and seen the re-armed meteorite fortress." Gao Wen looked at the changes in Victoria's eyes that were undetectable by ordinary people, knowing that the other party was already thinking in his own direction, he converges. With an unbearable smile in my heart, I continued to say one by one. "At the beginning of the Principality, my army was only able to protect this land. But the weapons we prepared to deal with the war have a lot of surplus. Those are high-quality extraordinary armed I must be very helpful to Wang Guojun."
"This is no doubt," Victoria said immediately. "East people can fight for good warfare. Our soldiers can hardly fight against it, but if there is a strong weapon, the situation will be different from the present..."
"That would be better," Gao Wen nodded, but then the front turned. "But the extraordinary armed forces are different from the ordinary swords. The Cecil family is expensive to build them. I can't send them for free. Give Wang Guojun."
Victoria has no surprises about this: "Of course, extraordinary armed forces have always been scarce. If you can buy with money, it is already a good thing. But I want to know, what weapons can you sell to Wang Guojun, and how many?"
Gao Wen smiled and stood up: "Follow me, I think the actual display will make you more impressive."
Victoria followed Govin's footsteps. They left the lord's house and took the magic guide to leave the administrative area directly. After a long drive, the surrounding buildings gradually became sparse, and several sentry towers appeared in the field of vision.
They came to the weapons test site in the northeast of the city.
After getting off the bus, Victoria couldn't help but look back at the transportation that he had just taken. It was a very convenient and fast thing, especially on the battlefield. It was not as shocked as a horse, but also had a strong outer casing and huge Strength, if you install a cannon on the car, arrange archers and javelin throwers, or use them to transport food and grass... how much better?
In the thought, a young knight has already arrived in front of Gao Wen and Victoria. This is Philip who is informed in advance to prepare for the test site: "Two adults, everything is ready."
Gao Wen indicated that Philip had led the way, and Victoria temporarily converged on his mind. With the accompanying staff, she followed Gao Wen and the young knight and soon came to an open space with soldiers guarded in advance.
She saw a soldier walk in front of Gao Wen, and the soldier held a long wooden box in his hand. After the wooden box was opened, there was a one-handed hand with a dark blue blade and beautiful appearance without losing momentum. Long sword.
She had seen this sword in the hands of the female knight named Margarita, and she was impressed with it.
"This is an extraordinary armed weapon with the power of fire. We call it a melted sword." Gao Wen picked up the long sword and waved it twice. Then he pressed a certain organ on the hilt in front of Victoria. The sword immediately There was a very slight humming sound, and its blade quickly turned red. The air near the Jianfeng moment showed a visible distortion. This made Victoria realize the amazing heat on the blade. "If you See, its high-heat blade is its power source. In the normal case of cutting, it can easily cut off any ordinary sword. It can also cut off light and medium-sized metal armor. When dealing with heavy armor units, the effect may be Not so good, but its heat can constantly heat the armor of the heavy armor, and the lethality is still fatal."
Victoria got closer. She took the sword from Gao Wen and felt the amazing heat from the latter, but she even felt the magic of the automatic operation inside the sword: "Is there no magical demand for the user?"
"Yes, this is a self-sustaining and superb armor. As long as it is trained, ordinary people can use it."
Self-sustaining super-armed is the most expensive of the extraordinary armed!
"It’s no wonder that the Southland Aristocratic Coalition is not your opponent," Victoria said with amazement at the deadly and beautiful weapon in his hand. "If ordinary soldiers can also equip magical weapons, any army will become terrible... The sword, what is the value?"
Gao Wen looked at Victoria's reaction satisfactorily and said a price that made the other person stunned: "As long as twenty Ansu round gold coins or seventeen shield gold coins."
Victoria’s surprise is not too expensive, but too cheap! !
Twenty gold coins to buy a sword, if it is a common sword, of course, it is very expensive, because the steel sword without magic power is worth two or three gold coins at most, even if it comes from the hands of famous craftsmen, the price is not more than four gold coins. But if it is an extraordinary weapon... twenty gold coins are sometimes not enough money!
A long sword with the simplest sharp enchantment can be fired to hundreds of gold coins, and the price of the sword with elemental power will even double, and in many cases, even if you have money, you may not be able to Buying the extraordinary armed forces that meet the requirements. Because they can create magic weapons, they are all extraordinary people who are detached. The extraordinary people themselves are not short of money. They want to ask them to build weapons. In addition to money, they must have sufficient status and status.
But in Cecil, a long sword with the power of elements only needs twenty gold coins... and the sword is still in mass production.
"Is this price not suitable?"
Gao Wen’s voice woke up Victoria, and she shook her head. “No, it’s actually a lot cheaper than I thought.”
“Cheap is because it has certain flaws,” Gao Wen laughed. “You should already know that many of Cecil’s extraordinary armed forces are mass-produced, but to mass produce something with magic, we must Make a compromise on quality. The power of this sword in your hands is no different from the real extraordinary weapon in normal use, but the magic capacitor buried in the hilt will be damaged after a while, then it becomes a piece. Ordinary weapons."
"No wonder it would be so cheap..." Victoria showed a stunned appearance, and then couldn't help but ask, "After the magical organs in the hilt are damaged?"
"It can be replaced in order to make up for the defects in quality. Many of its components can be removed and replaced," Gao Wen said with a smile. "You can rest assured that the magic mechanism is cheaper, the new magic capacitor is only a round gold coin, and if you are worried If the ordinary soldiers change badly, the other key structures of the sword will be damaged. You can send them back. We will help you for free."
"As long as a gold coin?" Victoria confirmed, and after receiving a positive reply, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems... very cost-effective? Although the constant replacement of the magical organs may require a lot of money for a long time, it is still too cheap to buy a real sword.
After that, more weapons samples that could be used for sale were sent to Gao Wen and Victoria.
Gao Wen ordered the soldiers to demonstrate those weapons on the spot, and he introduced the same in the same place:
"This is a thermal ray gun that emits hot rays. Although the range is much shorter than ordinary hot rays, it is less than a hundred meters, but it has already surpassed many bows and arrows, and the power is not comparable to bows and arrows. Of course, it is also cheap. The mass production is extremely armed, its focus array is very easy to damage. You are a mage, you should know that this is unavoidable. But you also worry differently, focusing array is also very cheap..."
"Crystal grenade, the power is reliable, this does not have to worry about the service life, it is a consumable in itself, but it is definitely cheaper than the bursting reel and easy to carry."
"Magic armor, excellent defenses are equally important for soldiers, and I believe that you don't want soldiers who are armed with a lot of gold coins to die easily on the battlefield. This armor comes with a variety of effective enchantments, the power of the chest. The core allows it to run for four hours, which is enough for most battles. Its various enchantments are generated by relying on the rune base in the slots of the armor, in other words, replacing the rune base or Increasing or decreasing the rune base can change the magic resistance of the armor, which can cope with the very complex battlefield situation, regardless of the enemy, the soldiers can effectively fight against it."
“How much is this armor worth?” Victoria couldn’t help but interrupt Gao Wen’s words. On this armor, she saw a distinctive design idea. Although she did not know that this design idea was called “modularity”, But this does not prevent her from having a great interest in the magic armor.
"Free." Gao Wen said two words with a faint smile.
Victoria thought that he had an auditory hallucination: "Free... Free?!"
"Yes, armor is free, because it has different combinations, it is not easy to price, so we only sell rune substrates, Wang Guojun can order certain kinds of rune substrates according to demand, as long as you buy three kinds, armor can As a free gift, if you buy a complete set of rune substrates, you can also attach three crystal grenades."
Victoria feels that he has heard a lot of unheard of words from Gao Wenkou, but the meaning of these words is not difficult to understand, just need some thinking to keep up with the rhythm of Gao Wen, she tried to keep up with this rhythm, and then feel... seems Still very suitable?
Everything is reasonable. The Cecils have indeed achieved the mass production of extraordinary armed forces, but their mass production is costly. The price is that the quality of weapons cannot be compared with the real superb armed forces. They always have such a key. Parts can be easily damaged and then have to be replaced, but the price of those parts is not very high...
Victoria indulged and then asked: "How many sets of equipment can you provide? A set of weapons armor, not counting those crystallized grenade."
Gao Wen estimated the efficiency of the production line and the existing inventory, and said a conservative figure: "Before spring, 10,000 sets are no problem."
Million...
This is how big Victoria lived, and for the first time I heard the use of this unit to describe the number of extraordinary armed forces.
She felt her heart pounding, and the role that the 10,000 sets of armed forces created could play a role in her mind, but after the initial agitation, she immediately realized how huge it would be. a sum of money.
The superior arms of the Cecils are indeed very cheap in terms of unit price, and they are almost a fraction of the normal super-armed forces, but...
Their quantity unit is "10,000".
This number is terrible.
And this has not yet calculated the cost of subsequent replacement of those vulnerable parts and maintenance. Although there is no exact data yet, Victoria instinctively feels that it is also a lot of money.
"We're afraid... there aren't so many gold coins," Victoria said with some embarrassment. She was a bit embarrassed at first, but considering that her elders were in front of her, she was dispelled as a junior, and she bluntly stated the current status of Wang Guojun. Difficulties, "The Eastern Rebels occupied one of the richest areas on the plains of the Holy Spirit, and the wars of the past six months have consumed a large reserve of the Royal Army."
"This way..." Gao Wen showed a trace of embarrassment. He frowned and thought for a few minutes. When Victoria couldn’t help but open his mouth, he sighed long. "But What I am talking about is already the cost price. You should know that magic materials and wizards are not falling from the sky... So, you can use half of the gold coins and half of the raw materials to get rid of them. Is that okay?"
Victoria blinks: "Half of the gold and half of the raw materials?"
"Iron ore, crystal ore, copper, quartz... These common materials can be used to offset the purchase price according to the market price," Gao Wen said. "This is the biggest concession I can make. I want to send the superb arms of mountains. On the battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain, they are all built with resources from the South."
Victoria pondered, and quickly calculated all the data in her mind. She could only estimate whether the kingdom could bear such a still striking cost. After finally filling in some of the taxes and minerals in the northern part, she finally made up. enough.
For Ansu.
"Complete."
