The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 11: That Battalion Commander's Chest Muscle isn't bad! (3)
"O officer, what do you want to order?" The store manager immediately greeted Zhou Weiqing after seeing his army uniform. In the Heavenly Bow Empire, although the blacksmith profession was not considered inferior, it was still far from warriors. Here, the most respected profession other than Jewel Masters were soldier-soldiers. After all, the only 50k strong army of the Heavenly Core Empire had withstood countless invasions from the surrounding countries, and thus they were greatly loved by the citizens. Although Zhou Weiqing looked very young, but he still looked very smart in his army uniform.
Zhou Weiqing asked: "Are you the boss here?"
"Yes, right. Our shop might not be too big, but we are a time-honored brand in Heavenly Bow City, and have a good reputation. Whatever you want to order, I will give you a discount because you are defending our country! "
Zhou Weiqing grinned, and raised his hand to take the hat off his head, looking out the window carefully, before moving closer to the boss and whispering mysteriously: "Boss, please, I'm from the 3rd Archery Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the army.I'm actually here on a secret mission from my Battalion Commander to forge something. If you do this well, it goes without saying you will be rewarded well. "
His boss hesitated for a moment, looking towards Zhou Weiqing in the evaluation. Although this archer looked very young, but he had an honest face and did not look like a cheater.
Zhou Weiqing continued in a low voice: "Do you not know our 3rd Battalion? Once I mention our Battalion Commander, you should understand; it is the top beauty of our Empire, Viscount Shangguan Bing himself. ”
After hearing Shangguan Bing'er's name, the boss' eyes immediately beamed, "Officer, what does Viscount Shangguan Bing'er want to forge?" To the imperial commoners, Shangguan Bing'er was like a legend, after all she was also born in general, and was known as an Ordinary Folk Goddess. This unsuspecting boss never expected that anyone would use his name to deceive someone, otherwise that person would be insulted by everyone. How did he know that the person in front of him was also a viscount. If Shangguan Binger really found out that Zhou Weiqing was actually making use of his name, who knew if he might castrate him!
Zhou Weiqing said: "i need a very durable, strong but light metal to forge something. And it needs to be rushed, I need it today. Money is not a problem, but I need to speed up immediately. ”Because of that, he took out the gold coins he had and placed them on the table.
Although Zhou Weiqing had been unable to cultivate since young, but his thoughts were clearly much more cunning and ingenious than people his age. The reason why he used the name Shangguan Bing was because he was unable to wait for the usual time that such a forging order would be taken.
The boss immediately nodded and said, "No problem, we have a precious titanium alloy that the Fire Jewel Master must refine. Although the price is high, it suits your needs perfectly. It costs around 10 gold coins per kg of alloy, but since this is for Viscount Shangguan Binger, I will give it to you at the price of 7 gold coins per kg. How's it? "Once Zhou Weiqing took out his gold, his boss believed in the story.
After hearing the words titanium alloy, Zhou Weiqing's eyes brightened. He had heard of metal before, as his father wore a suit of armor forged with titanium alloys. It was extremely tough and durable, yet extremely light and easy to maneuver, and was considered one of the best materials for forging equipment. Therefore, he was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Good, that's it. I want to fake this. '' As he said that, Zhou Weiqing handed his hat to the boss.
Zhou Weiqing nodded, saying: "Just right, we want to fake it like a hat. Just imagine, on the battlefield, the danger we face usually comes from enemy arrows. If the hat is made of titanium alloy, the arrow that the enemy is showering will not be able to hurt us. Next, I requested that a handle made of thick canvas be made on the inside of the hat. That way, I can also hold it in my hands like a shield. "
After hearing Zhou Weiqing's explanation, the boss was very impressed with the feasibility of the plan. However, titanium alloys were so rare and expensive, how could it possibly be issued to all archers?
In fact, Zhou Weiqing had thought of such an idea for a long time. In the past when he was bored at home, he usually spent time with strange crazy ideas. Earlier, when he had implemented joining the army and the leader of the force in charge told him that the archer was the safest unit, he knew that it was nonsense. As the son of Admiral Zhou, how could he not know about the dangers of archer units, especially those in the Heavenly Core Empire, which had the highest turnover rate. Due to the fact that the damage-handling capabilities of the archers were so high, they were also often focused on the enemy. Mutual exchange of fire between archer units is also very common. The only reason Zhou Weiqing still chose to join the archer unit was because he already had some ideas on how to improve his safety, he said, and it was also true that they would not engage much in close combat.
He already had the idea of turning an archer's hat into a shield at the age of eleven. To use it on the battlefield would be very easy, when they came under fire from the enemy, he just needed to crouch down, and curl up a little with his head lowered, he said, and the enemy arrows will most likely all be blocked by hats . Of course, such an idea would not be easy for a layman to think about, only someone like Zhou Weiqing who was born out of fear of death, would not be easy to think of, and having such a cunning and cunning way of thinking, which can result in such a thought. At that moment, he wanted to tell his father about the idea, but every time he stared at his father's hard face, he couldn't speak. Who knew if his father would approve or reject his idea, after all trying to wear titanium alloy hats to the entire archery squad would be impossible.
"Honor! This must be Lord Viscount's idea. Very creative! Alright, we'll take this job, I'll get everyone to work on it and rush out tonight.I'll also just charge the materials fee and not the service fee, either, so it should be about 6 gold coins per kg of titanium alloy.
This is the great part about deceiving someone, not needing to ask for a discount, and the boss automatically gives it away. Zhou Weiqing was rather proud of himself. As for the boss who thought that such a devious idea came from Shangguan Binger, he did not care. After all, safety first is his motto.
“Bos, do you have a finished product made of titanium alloy? Preferably for defense. ”Zhou Weiqing had never heard of being able to get titanium alloy at the price of 6 gold coins per kg, as far as he knew the price was usually 10-12 gold coins per kg. Since he was going to go to the battlefield in the future, he wanted to prepare as much as possible.
"You've already asked the right person, I have a set of underwear made from titanium alloy, and it's stitched together with the muscles of the magical beast Heavenly Snake Snake. Light but extremely durable, clearly more than enough for the archer, "As he said that, the boss walked to the back of the table and took out a shining internal armor.
Zhou Weiqing grabbed it in his hand and shook it. It was a half-body armor, capable of covering the entire top of the body up to the hands. It is very light, less than 2kg, which is a benefit of titanium alloys.
Zhou Weiqing was overjoyed to see such an item, "Good, this is good, I want this. I estimate that this should be a little more than one kg, but boss don't worry, I won't let you suffer an unfortunate loss, I'll count this as 2 kg. Here are 12 more gold coins. "As he said that, Zhou Weiqing took out 12 coins and placed them on the table at lightning speed.
