The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 129 The Elders of the Sages' Society

The way to wear the iron vest is to stick your head out of the round hole. The two sides of the iron plate will cover the wearer's chest and back respectively.

Some people may complain that such products are too casual and not exquisite enough.

But you have to know that it doesn't take a long time to produce these things. It doesn't require blacksmiths to hammer for three days and three nights. It only takes less than twenty minutes to complete the entire process from iron ore to "iron vest".

The rapid production and casual design of these things meant that they would not be worn by generals, but would be distributed to ordinary soldiers - even the most ordinary private.

For the North where most people still wear leather armor and studded armor, if all the soldiers could be equipped with such "iron vests", it would be an unimaginable weapon.

What is more important is the design of the assembly line.

What is a pipeline?

The assembly line is a production process that improves production efficiency and reduces production costs by dividing the production process into multiple steps, with each step being performed by a different worker or machine.

Each step only needs to focus on completing its own task, so even if Sister Agatha doesn't understand those complicated mechanisms very well, she can design what should follow the engine output end.

When cutting the iron plate, a guillotine is used. If the thickness is uneven, a double roller rolling method can be added.

To cut a circle, use a circular cylindrical cutter and hit it from above or below.

To bend, clamp the two sides and then hammer them.

Each step requires only a brief task before the product is passed on to the next step until the final product is complete.

Such an efficiency-enhancing assembly line means that after twenty minutes, they will not produce just one product, but a batch of them.

As long as the raw materials on the assembly line are continuously input and the intermediate products on the assembly line are output steadily, it means that the final products on the assembly line will also be the same.

Although, after adding the use of the engine, the entire armor production process is still much slower than the speed at which molten iron can be produced by throwing ore and reducing agents into the process.

But it has made the work of blacksmiths much easier, and the speed has indeed been greatly improved.

----------

While Sister Agatha was supervising the production of the first batch of iron vests, Abes was lying under the city wall of the royal capital, asking the old man curiously.

"You are the one who mobilized these refugees and this tiefling brother, right? May I ask who you are?"

The skinny old man with many scars on his body smiled.

Fortunately, he did not become a riddler like the tiefling. Otherwise, after they had fought together for the royal capital, he still did not know who his allies were. What was going on?

"As for my name, my name is Adechi. As for my experience, do you want to hear a short or long version? At the beginning, I thought my experience was extraordinary enough, but if you... no, if you are really that Abes Grande, then our experience is nothing worth talking about."

Abes felt confused and curious as he listened to the words of the old man named Adechi.

He didn't expect that the old man didn't think that his name was bragging like those refugees, but believed it at the first moment.

Moreover, this trust is obviously not the kind of trust that is based on the name, but a more profound connection.

"You...are you so sure that I am?"

When he first entered Sweetleaf Town, in order to make Wilford believe, Kronos proposed the idea of ​​asking him to check out the portraits of the heroes that were not overly artistic, or to look for photo stones that recorded images from thousands of years ago.

However, most people’s first reaction when they see him is still suspicion and disbelief.

This also means that although it is not impossible to find his appearance thousands of years later, many other people may have seen a more popular and abstract version.

It's like the portraits of Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao on door gods, or a certain Emperor Zhu who had two portraits circulated, one with a square face and the other with a mango face.

Don’t we have more ordinary portraits of Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao? Why do door gods have to be ferocious, even with fangs and green faces?

Can't we determine which portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang is his true appearance through the portraits of his descendants?

Because people like it and people believe in it.

This logic also shows that in the eyes of a wider audience, this ordinary, warrior-looking Abes Grande may not be the real thing.

Back to the present, the old man in front of him paused for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Indeed, I have seen the portrait without any artistic creation, so I can believe that it is you. I am from Zhongzhou, and I am considered a member of the Sage Society."

After hearing the old man's words, Abes was moved and shocked.

Abes had heard about the Sages' Council several times before.

That was an organization founded by his former teammate, the mage Faranis Eric Duncan.

The Mels family is responsible for guarding their own coffins, and this is decided by the Council of Sages.

Although up to now, due to the change of dynasties, since the first and second dynasties, the Society of Sages in Zhongzhou has long ceased to be the power center that manages everything.

But even now, in Zhongzhou, which has been divided into two countries, the Society of Sages is still a well-known academic center.

In the North and Central China, the reputation of the Society of Sages far exceeds that of the Mage Tower in the small kingdom of Wommza and the Astrology Society of the Centaurs.

In short, with the legacy of the wizard Duncan, it is reasonable that the members of the Council of Sages can recognize his appearance at a glance through some authentic information he left behind a thousand years ago.

Moreover, when the enemy attacked, they could put their hands on the wall and instantly turn the rocks into mud, and build a number of stairs to climb the wall;

Everyone who reaches the top of the city wall will have weapons emerging from their feet.

All these things have already shown that the other party is an extremely powerful spellcaster, and it is reasonable that he comes from an academic center like the Society of Sages.

"I am a warlock, and my talent is concentrated on controlling earth and rocks. Those crude weapons were buried by me after I melted the surface of the city wall at night. They will pop out when someone climbs up." Adechi said.

In response, Abes raised his eyebrows.

Since you can dissolve the city wall, why don't you launch an attack at night?

Isn't this much faster than those siege methods that involve calling on engineers to dig tunnels?

As if he had noticed the doubt in Abes's eyes, Adeqi smiled awkwardly.

"My magic power...is not enough to melt the entire city wall. This is also the reason why I left the Sages' Association."
