Chapter 33 Mass Production of Armor and Weapons

In addition to the Lord of the City and Baron Billy, there were also some people who came here as President Cruise.

Most of these are the heads of major chambers of commerce that deal with the New Air Chamber of Commerce, including Fuller Morgan, president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Without exception, these people expressed concern about the sudden decision of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to relocate the entire factory, and the focus of the attention is naturally whether this relocation will affect the order signed with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After learning that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had only moved from here to the Sangqidun Manor, which was not far away, and that normal production would resume within a week at the earliest, everyone felt relieved.

After a greeting, everyone's eyes naturally focused on Earl Samo and Baron Billy.

Most of them looked at Baron Billy.

Everyone who appeared here was well-informed in Bangta City. How could he not know the inside story of the sudden relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

It should be said that Baron Billy's sudden request this time surprised everyone.

The New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is clearly very promising. Even if the Stark family does not pay special attention to it, at least they should not have such an attitude for no reason, and almost cut off their relationship with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.

Baron Billy still looked so careless in front of everyone. Seeing everyone's eyes focused, he smiled, came to Xu Yi, looked at Xu Yi with his eyes slanted and said, "President Xu, for the sake of Earl Samo, I will give you a few days to give you a grace. But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you haven't done this place yet, don't blame me for being merciless."

Hearing this sentence, everyone around couldn't help but frown.

Does Baron Billy have a grudge against Xu Yi or what? Why do you target him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like this?

Xu Yi's face was calm. Instead, he smiled and nodded and said, "Please rest assured that our current relocation progress will be completed before the day after tomorrow, and will not delay your planning for this territory."

Baron Billy nodded slightly: "This is almost the same. If I delay my business, I will be nice to you at that time."

Everyone around them frowned even deeper.

Judging from the news they inquired about, Baron Billy was unreasonable from beginning to end, but now he still put on such a face in front of Xu Yi. Even if he had an ordinary relationship with Xu Yi, it would inevitably make people feel indignant.

However, everyone here is a worldly-school person, and no one will refute Baron Billy in person at this time.

This guy explicitly put on a playboy's face, just not just making sense to you. If you argue with him, you will not be able to say anything, but you will also offend him for nothing and even the Stark family behind him. But no one would be so stupid.

Xu Yi looked at Baron Billy and suddenly asked, "Sir Baron, I have a question to ask."

"What's the problem?" Baron Billy said indifferently.

"You did this. Are you sure you won't regret it in the future?"

Earl Samo, who had just said hello to Xu Yi and said nothing since he came, raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Xu Yi in surprise.

Xu Yi seemed to have always been able to maintain a calm attitude towards this matter on the surface, but judging from the question he asked, he was still a little angry in his heart.

Everyone around was also slightly stunned, thinking that Xu Yi was not polite at all when he asked.

Baron Billy was stunned, and then sneered. He said disdainfully: "Repent? Why do I regret it? I said Xu Yi, although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed well and has made a lot of money this year, do you want to think too much about yourself? Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce in Bonta City. What qualifications do I have to make me regret it? If you ask this question, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Xu Yi stared at Baron Billy for a while until he felt uncomfortable all over. He glared back at Xu Yi, then withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly: "Okay. I understand, thank you Baron for your answer."

Baron Billy looked at Xu Yi for no reason and snorted coldly: "Xu Yi, I thought I hadn't seen anything I didn't want to see in those messy newspapers these days, and I thought you were at least a smart person. Now when I look at it, you are not very smart either."

The relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's factory can be regarded as big news for Bangta City or the surrounding cities.

Normally, newspapers in these cities will definitely report on the big picture and investigate the reasons.

But this time, more than a dozen newspapers in several cities only reported this matter as a very ordinary news.

As for the reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly decided to relocate, it is a unified interpretation that this is a development strategy that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been decided.

The reason why these more than ten newspapers reached such a unified caliber is, in addition to Xu Yi's request, naturally, Earl Sammo and Earl Annalis, the lord of Kalma.

Of course, Baron Billy knew this very well, so he praised Xu Yi as a smart man.

As for now, he said that he was not smart enough, Xu Yi was naturally too lazy to argue. He smiled at him, ignored him, and turned around to discuss with the leaders of other chambers of commerce around him.

After he and everyone determined to complete the next step of the order for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, everyone left one after another. At this time, Count Samo came over.

After taking a look at the carriage that left one after another, Count Samo said, "Not bad. Relocating such a large factory is a very complicated matter, and it is in such a hurry. I thought you would definitely be in a hurry this time, but now it seems that you have arranged all your work well, which really makes me appreciate it."

"The Earl is over." Xu Yi smiled and said modestly. "You came here specifically today to see how we moved, right?"

"That's one of the reasons," Count Samo pointed to the office in the distance. "Let's sit down and talk the rest."

Xu Yi was a little confused. If there was something important, why didn’t he call himself to the city lord’s house to talk?

The two walked into the office that had not started to move yet. Xu Yi poured the water and sat down separately.

Earl Samo paused and pointed out the window and asked Xu Yi, "How do you think of the young men in the City Guard?"

Xu Yi was stunned. Unexpectedly, when Earl Samo spoke, he would actually touch the city guards who came to help with the relocation.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi nodded and replied, "It's great. It can be seen that they are all very physically compatible. If all the troops in the Lampari Kingdom have such qualities, then the troops in the Lampari Kingdom may be able to be named throughout the Seines continent."

"You are too exaggerating." Earl Samo waved his hand. "There are many factors that determine the strength of a country's army. The physical fitness of the soldiers is only one aspect. In addition, there are many aspects such as equipment, logistics, etc. Among them, the most direct point that determines the level of combat effectiveness in combat is equipment."

Xu Yi was shocked.

Of course, Count Samo is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. But what does it mean to talk to him about soldier equipment?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi could only reluctantly nod: "Well, I agree."

Earl Samo continued to ask: "Xu Yi, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can now use magic machine tools to mass produce magic fans, magic rice cookers and other series of iron magic machines, right?"

"Well, that's true."

"Then you..." Count Samo glanced at Xu Yi and paused. In a tone that seemed to be very concerned, he said lightly: "It should not be a problem to develop a magic machine tool that can produce armor weapons in large quantities, right?"

Xu Yi's hands shook slightly, almost unable to hold the teacup in his hand.

After calming down, Xu Yi asked Count Sammo in a deep voice: "Master, what do you mean?"

"What? Don't I understand what I said?" Count Samo stared at Xu Yi with a serious expression: "I ask you. Are you sure you can develop a magic machine tool that can produce magic fans and magic rice cookers as efficiently as they produce armor and weapons that soldiers need in large quantities?"

Xu Yi was silent for a while and then replied with some difficulty: "Theoretically... there is no problem. Even many magic machine tools we are using now, including magic stamping machines, can complete a relatively simple armor casting just by doing a little modification. As for weapons... it depends on which weapon it is."

Earl Samo's eyes lit up and asked, "What about bows and arrows, for example?"

"For bows... I don't know what kind of bow is now used, so I can't answer it. But if you only want to build pure steel arrows, it is actually not troublesome than making screws, and even from a process perspective. As for arrow shafts... If you want to create an integrated pure steel arrow, the casting process will be a little more troublesome. But if you just need to build an alloy steel arrow shaft or a plastic arrow shaft, the process is not too troublesome. Although it is difficult to develop corresponding magic machinery, I think there should be no problem. However, developing these things will hinder the research and development of civilian magic machinery in our Chamber of Commerce. I think..."

"Wait a minute..." Earl Samo's expression was a little confused. He raised his hand to signal Xu Yi to pause. After thinking for a while, he frowned and asked, "What are the alloy steel and plastics you are talking about? Why have I never heard of it?"

Xu Yi was stunned and then realized that he was answering according to the standards on earth, but forgot that the world had a very simple understanding of the materials used in various mechanical processes.

Alloy steel has been seen at least on automatic magic rice cookers and magic bread machines, but plastic... It is still being studied in the Night Song tribe, and it is still a short time before it actually came out.

"These two are special craft materials that can have different effects depending on the materials. For example, the materials used by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to manufacture automatic magic rice cookers and magic bread machines are the latest alloy steel we have developed. This alloy steel I named Silver Leaf Steel is lighter than ordinary iron tools, but its hardness is not worse than iron, and it also has the characteristics of not rust."

"Willn't it be better to cast armor and weapons with this kind of silver leaf steel?" Earl Samo asked immediately.

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment: "This... I'm not sure. Because the armor and weapons worn by soldiers require many limit requirements, and we have not conducted real limit tests at the moment, and it is impossible to determine whether we can bear the casting needs of armor and weapons."

"Since there is silver leaf steel, that means there must be other alloy steels you mentioned? Then among these alloy steels, there should be alloy steels that are more suitable for making armor weapons, right?" Earl Samo was a little reluctant to leave.

"This... should be there." Xu Yi could only nod helplessly.

"Very good!" Count Samo slapped the table suddenly, laughed twice, then patted Xu Yi on the shoulder with a strong look, and said excitedly: "I originally just wanted your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop the magic machine tool I need, but I didn't expect that I could ask you more useful things from you. Xu Yi, Xu Yi, I really didn't expect that you still have so many treasures hidden. If I don't ask, would you not plan to say it?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. City Lord, this is the commercial secret of our chamber of commerce after all. If you hadn't asked on your own, how could I easily disclose it?"

"Commercial Secret?" Count Sammo smiled and shook his head. "In the interests of the entire kingdom, what are some commercial secrets? Well, Xu Yi, I will give you two choices now. The first choice is to promise me to develop the magic machine tool I just mentioned for the kingdom, and at the same time develop the alloy steel and plastic you just mentioned. The second choice is to reject me, and then your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will die for itself. Which one do you choose?"

Xu Yi could only continue to smile helplessly: "Master Lord, do I have a choice?"
