Struggle in the Steam Age

Walking down the road, Lawrence and the others did not discover much about ancient civilization. If I had to reluctantly say, there are only two small buildings in the middle of the road, which are probably left by that ancient civilization. But because of the passage of time, those two small buildings became a pile of rubble.

It’s just that as Lawrence and the Tauren exchanges gradually deepened, the Tauren people used the stones and foundations left on the two ruins to build two small fortifications to protect this one that was more important to them. Trade route. Just now Lawrence saw that each of the newly repaired outposts had a team of five or six tauren stationed there.

It can be seen that the orchid's status as a shaman in the tauren is still relatively high, and it is quite respected by others. Because when everyone passed through those outposts, the tauren standing at the gates of the outposts would raise their weapons to pay tribute to Orchid.

Lawrence noticed that this group of tauren could be regarded as armed to the teeth. They were wearing rough breastplates made of iron plates and holding a huge axe or mace reinforced with a large amount of metal in their hands. A heavy javelin with a cast steel spear head was carried behind his back, which looked like a steel fortress.

All of these weapons were purchased from Lawrence. Of course, they were not some kind of standard equipment, but were all made temporarily by the small repair shop using the tools and materials on hand. After all, armor is hard to find in this era, not to mention that the tauren can't wear human armor at all, and can't use human weapons.

However, as a real fighting race, the tauren people who have been using various stone and wood tools showed a special desire after seeing the huge amount of steel in the human world. So after the tauren worked, they expressed the hope that they would use their wages to obtain weapons.

But because they couldn't find any off-the-shelf armors and weapons suitable for the tauren size, Lawrence and the others had to start their own work to temporarily make a batch of weapons using the steel and steel plates sent to the island after learning of the needs of the tauren. Fortunately, those tautou people were very satisfied with these temporary products, and there were no accidents.

According to the results of Lawrence's previous questioning of the tauren people, their ancestors had also obtained a number of very useful metal tools and weapons in their interactions with humans. Unfortunately, after the humans evacuated this land, their metal sources were cut off, and there were no metal mines there, so that after the metal objects were exhausted, they returned to the previous era of using stone tools, wood tools and bone tools. .

Therefore, after regaining contact with humans and obtaining various metal tools and weapons, these tauren armed their hunters and guards as quickly as possible, and Lawrence now sees those sentries on the side of the road. The weapons were bought by the tauren people who worked in ports and farms before.

"In addition to these things, I have also customized a batch of guns for you." After greeted a tauren in a post and walked forward, Lawrence said to Lanhua, "If there is no accident, then next month. It will be sent here with the ships from the White Eagle Federation."

Before the tauren expressed their request to order firearms to Lawrence, Lawrence naturally agreed to them. Unlike the safe world in his previous life, there are too many dangerous creatures in the wild in this world, so ordinary people holding guns are not because of political correctness or legal regulations, but something that must be done in order to survive.

It's just that after trying human guns, the tauren people found that the largest human gun on the island is not suitable for them to use. For example, they can only put their fingers into the trigger guard of the largest rifle under very reluctant circumstances, but the firearm will go off as long as the firearm is moved slightly.

Moreover, the caliber of firearms commonly used by humans is too small for the tauren, and the tauren hopes to obtain weapons with a larger caliber. Seeing that they would be his future allies, Lawrence purchased a batch of large single-shot rifles modified from the 23mm small-caliber rapid-fire gun hall through his weapons factory.

At the beginning, Lawrence felt that such a transformation might require a lot of money and energy, but then the dwarf Eugene, the director of the munitions factory, told him that although this kind of modification is rare, it is definitely not uncommon, because there are many extraordinary people and some special ones. Races all have a demand for this large-caliber weapon, so under everyone's research, the difficulty of this transformation work can be said to be very low. The reason why Lawrence hasn't heard of it before is because most people don't reform like this.

So after getting a positive answer, Lawrence used a telegram to entrust him to make a batch of such weapons and send it over. However, because of small batch production, it will take a while to get it. This is why these tauren people now only have cold weapons.

However, these cold weapons were enough for the tauren to easily crush the scattered goblins. According to the tauren at the outpost earlier, they only sent five fully armed tauren to easily crush a group of 30. The left and right goblin groups, and then chopped off the heads of 25 of them.

Also because of the tauren guards in the post and the tauren patrols who regularly patrol the road, this road is as safe as the tree-lined road in the city. Taking this opportunity, everyone also enjoyed the beautiful tropical rain forest scene.

The golden sunlight shining on the ground in a columnar shape through the gaps of the leaves and the various bird sounds from the forest. Everyone present felt the beautiful side of nature, not to mention the scent of grass and earth in the jungle. The air makes everyone in the team feel that the exhaustion from the travel just now has been wiped out.

"It's a pity that jungle tourism is not popular in this era, otherwise this place is definitely a good place to travel." Seeing that just a few photos on both sides of the road can be put into the tropical rainforest beauty of the previous "National Geographic", Lawrence thought silently in his heart. . "If you were in your previous life, you would have to spend at least three to four hundred yuan a day in such a place."

"By the way, you should wipe this on your temples and under your nose a little bit better. After all, the forest is still a bit too humid." Hearing some people in the mission panting and getting thicker, Lanhua stopped and moved from her waist. I took out a wooden jar and handed it over~www.ltnovel.com~ and unscrewed the lid of the jar. Lawrence found that the jar was filled with most of the emerald green transparent ointment. After stirring a little with your fingers and applying it to the temples and under the nose, I immediately felt that the applied area became cold, and then this cooling sensation slowly spread to the whole body, and the dampness and heat around me seemed to be away from me, and it felt like There is a cool breeze blowing in general.

"The effect is very good." Lawrence handed the jar to the other members of the mission and said to Lanhua. "Is this ointment a potion?"

"It is indeed a kind of potion, only us shamans can make it by casting spells." Lanhua said, "but there is a weakened version of this potion circulating on the tribe that can be made without any magic, and the output is still Not small."

"That's good." Lawrence nodded in satisfaction when he heard that there was a version that didn't use demons for energy production. In any case, the main thing he came to this time was to help these tauren people find something that could be used to trade with humans for a long time, and this kind of medicine fits his requirements very well.

After everyone applied the potion and drank some water, they continued to walk forward. Ten minutes later, the orchid leading the way turned a small hill and shouted: "Okay, everyone hold on. Now I have Once you see the tribe, you can get there right away."
