Chapter 147 First Generation Armament
The first level of the mine.
The situation here has greatly improved; it is no longer filled with torches and stiflingly hot.
After leading the team to complete the last major project, Richard manufactured more than a dozen solar panels.
The first batch of wooden lampposts produced were prioritized for the artisan department, allowing the workshops in the mine to completely get rid of the troubles of flames and thick smoke.
Oh...
There were still fireworks.
In the innermost corner, the only blacksmith in Qifeng Village was swinging his arms, sweating profusely as he hammered away at the blank.
The raw materials are iron ore and coal from the mine, and with the system's blessing, the equipment made is of very high quality.
The problem is that there are too few people, so the production speed is very slow. It takes a long time to make a single iron pipe.
The speed at which the ink flowed left Richard, who was used to the creations of the system, speechless.
There's no other way but to wait until the population increases in the future and then select some suitable candidates to switch to the [Equipment Craftsman] profession.
Let them forge small items that are not available in the system's creations using real-world methods, such as everyday ironware like nails, wires, sheet metal, and spoons.
Although it is possible to buy it.
But Richard preferred that chiffon be able to be self-sufficient, as that would be a healthy territory.
As for the leatherworkers and weavers, they work on the ground, in the livestock sheds and chicken coops, producing meat, eggs, and milk.
It also produces materials such as chicken and duck feathers, cow and sheep hides, which are tanned and then sewn into finished products, with a wide range of uses.
Even if we can't use it, we can set up a leather workshop in the future and sell it to the outside world, which would be a good business.
...
In the wooden warehouse, Irving was holding a writing board and taking inventory of various materials.
The copper and iron ingots were piled up so much that they formed two small metal mountains. There were also quite a few silver ingots, more than a thousand in total. The gold ingots were the fewest, only about a hundred.
The magical minerals, such as jade, ruby, diamond, aquamarine, and tiger's eye, were categorized and packed into wooden boxes.
Several warehouses were filled to the brim with the fruitful results of the collection team during this period.
Richard arrived.
Irving quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Richard took the inventory ledger from his hand, glanced at it, and smiled with satisfaction.
"start."
Those two simple words made Irving's blood boil; he couldn't wait any longer!
The ordinary refined iron equipment previously purchased from Frostwind is no longer keeping up with the growth rate of the Chiffon Legion.
Now that he can personally forge magical armor belonging to Chiffon, allowing his legion to sweep across the battlefield clad in the equipment he forged, even his breathing has become much heavier.
Richard patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then opened the system panel in his mind to check the equipment crafting recipes.
To craft equipment in the game, you don't need any other items in the real world; you only need three materials produced in the mine.
The first type is metal ingots such as gold, silver, copper, and iron.
The second type is precious magical minerals such as diamonds, jade, and crystal.
The third type is the corpse material dropped after killing monsters, or simply corpse material.
Taking iron ingots as an example:
With just five pieces, you can forge a basic magical weapon called "Steel Blade." Although it is sharper than ordinary ironware, it has no additional effects.
Adding two pieces of dolomite allows you to forge a [Steel Light Sword], which grants a small attack speed bonus.
If you add some monster corpses, such as the [Ice Fangs] dropped by frozen bats in the Ice Prison layer, and the [Cold Water Solution] from blue slimes.
This allows you to forge high-level magical equipment like the Neptune Greatsword, which not only doubles the attack power but also adds water-based magic damage, significantly increasing its power.
Clearly, the equipment that combines the three types of materials is the most powerful, but unfortunately the mine has only advanced to the thirty-fourth level so far.
The variety of monsters is limited.
With a severe shortage of corpses in stock, equipping all soldiers with a full set of high-level magical gear all at once is nothing short of a pipe dream.
But Richard wasn't in a hurry.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to get your equipment one step at a time.
He plans to first order a complete set of intermediate-level magical standard equipment to meet his current combat needs.
He carefully reviewed all the equipment crafting recipes and finally selected a few pieces of equipment.
The first item is a double-edged greatsword.
It is about 1.6 meters long, with a blade 40 centimeters wide. It is sharpened on both sides and requires two hands to hold. Its design is very imposing.
In addition to possessing the attack power of a mid-level magical weapon, it also adds a slight increase in defense, making it most suitable for melee mainstays like the Dragon Emperor's Guard.
The second item is [steel armor].
Forged from five metal ingots and citrine, the entire suit of armor gleamed and shone.
The shoulder pads and arm guards, as well as other more conspicuous areas, feature spikes, maximizing their visual impact.
In addition to its impressive defensive capabilities, it also significantly reduces its weight, making it feel light and airy to wear.
It would be even more perfect if the blacksmith could heat a chiffon cake logo onto the breastplate with gold.
The third item is the [Iron Plate Boots].
Both shoes use two different materials, but the thicker sole not only enhances stability but also slightly increases movement speed.
The fourth item is the [Radiant Ring].
This is a functional magical item, forged using slime, iron ingots, and tremolo stone.
With just a small amount of life force, it can emit a soft, non-glaring light, comparable to carrying a small lantern, making it an absolute must-have in the pitch-black mine.
more importantly.
It comes with a slight immunity attribute, with a 10% chance to be immune to negative magical effects such as dizziness, freezing, and burning.
...
These four pieces of equipment together constituted the first generation of standard weaponry for the Chiffon Guards.
The Soul Reaper replaces the Double-Edged Greatsword with the Demon Hunter Longbow.
This bow comes with a "strength-saving" effect, allowing archers to fire continuously and effectively reducing muscle strain.
of course.
This set of standard equipment is not applicable to all classes; for example, the equipment for the Shadow Blade cannot be done this way.
Otherwise, he would wear a full suit of iron armor, making a clattering sound as he walked, with a thick, double-edged sword slung over his shoulder.
When infiltrating a local stronghold or fortress, you might try to hide behind some bushes, only to find that while your rear end is covered, the tip of your sword is sticking out. Isn't that hilarious?
and so.
Richard also prepared a set of light standard-issue weapons.
[Snake-shaped dagger]
Agile Leather Armor
【Turned Soft Leather Boots】
【Gale Ring】
This set of equipment has slightly lower defense, but focuses on agility. After being fully infused with life force or magic, it can increase the wearer's agility by nearly double.
Besides assassins, healers, songstresses, and contract masters can also wear it.
...
At Richard's instruction, Owen used his skills to mass-produce six hundred sets of standard-issue weaponry, consuming a large amount of materials.
The iron ingots were almost completely gone, only a few dozen citrine and amethyst remained, and materials such as slime and bat wings were completely consumed.
Fortunately, it's alright.
These are all relatively basic magical materials; rarer materials like tiger's eye and gold ingots haven't been touched much.
These are materials that will be used to create more advanced equipment in the future, or to customize personal equipment in the present.
Yes.
The maid corps definitely won't wear standard uniforms.
Richard had requirements for their equipment: it had to be primarily aesthetically pleasing, with combat as a secondary consideration.
As I said before, their priority must be satisfying the lord's visual enjoyment...
...
From the inside out!
