"Of course. By the way, I've heard for a long time that goblins like to drink wine brewed by humans. It's better to choose a different day. Let's go to the Twilight Tavern today. I'll treat you."

"Then thank you City Lord Li Mu. I haven't drank for many years, and I'm really hungry."

The two came to the Twilight Tavern. The tavern was still full of guests. Seeing that there were no seats left, Li Mu went directly to Xuexin and said, "Grandma Xuexin, I want to talk to Elder Ruiz about something. Do you still have a place here?"

"There is another one I left for Old Puxin. If you want to use it, just go there. It's at the east end of the second floor. You can just go up. If you need anything, call the waiter."

"Okay, thank you Grandma Xuexin."

"You kid, you've been calling Grandma Xue Xin all day long. Grandma Xue Xin, even though she's not old, you call her old!"

"You are not old at all. If you don't mind, I will call you Aunt Xuexin from now on."

NPCs in this game cannot be treated with common sense. I heard from Lu Qin that Xuexin is almost 500 years old, but she doesn’t look old at all. The most incredible thing is that she is still a human. If she is from the Ice and Snow tribe or the Elf tribe, she is still

It's understandable, but it's shocking no matter how you think about a human being who has lived for so long without showing any signs of aging.

"That's pretty much it. Seeing how sweet your mouth is, and Patriarch Ruiz is new to Longteng City, I will give you this bottle of Immortal Drunk for free."

"Thank you Aunt Xuexin."

"Thank you. Thank you very much."

Seeing that Xuexin didn't care about his goblin identity at all, Old Ruiz was also a little moved. In fact, he had always known that all the racial discrimination on the mainland bullied them because they closed the city when the gods and demons invaded. Too

He is too cowardly. But he has never dared to face it head-on. He was afraid that if he said this, even the clan members would blame each other, and then the goblin clan would really be doomed.

Sitting down in the private room, Li Mu opened the bottle of fairy wine. The aroma suddenly overflowed, and after taking a sip, he felt like getting drunk.

He filled it for Ritz first, then poured half a glass for himself. He picked it up and said, "Here, let's have a drink first."

Chief Ruiz put the cloth to his mouth and sniffed it vigorously. Then he drank it all in one gulp. As soon as he drank the wine, it was like a volcano erupting, sending thick heat to his limbs and bones. He couldn't help shouting,

Cool!

"Chief Ruiz, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"City Master Li Mu, to tell you the truth, although I have been in Longteng City for less than half a month, during this period I have visited almost every corner here. I have seen people of all races living together in harmony and respecting each other.

Love makes me very envious. I also contacted several old goblins living in Longteng City. They all said that this is a suitable place for goblins to settle down. I know that because of the last invasion of gods and demons, various races on the mainland have a deep affection for us.

There are stereotypes, but I hope to use my actual performance and hard work to make everyone change their views on the goblins, and this change starts in Soaring Dragon City!"

"You know, we goblins are good at machine manufacturing, but the disaster a hundred years ago caused many goblin technologies and blueprints to be lost. However, I believe that relying on our own talents, we can recreate those lost technologies, but

This needs your help!"

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

"If we want to restore those peak technologies, we need to rebuild the Goblin Laboratory, which requires a lot of expense, and this is just the beginning. The Goblin Laboratory can only be used for scientific and technological research. If we want to convert our research results into weapons, we must also

We need a goblin workshop and an ore refinery, which require a lot of expenses, are you willing to support us?"

Damn, there really was a connection between them. Before I even said my request, Ryze actually made it on his own initiative.

"Can I ask about your past research results, or in other words, what weapons can you create?"

"A simpler example is the goblin crossbow, which is used by individual soldiers. The goblin city crossbow is similar to the human city defense crossbow, but more powerful. It is placed on the city wall for use. After the goblin laboratory upgrades to level 3,

You can make muskets. Upgrade to level 5 to make mortars. Both weapons are used by individual soldiers. The musket has a long range and a fast rate of fire. It is mainly used to kill enemy lightly armored soldiers, while the mortar has a longer range.

Far, powerful, slow, mainly used to suppress enemy mages and siege weapons. Upgrading the goblin laboratory to level 7 or above can research steam tanks and helicopters, but these two weapons are just legends. We don’t know

Can it be restored?"

Hearing this, Li Mu was completely speechless. These are all thermal weapons. If you really want to create them, others are still playing tricks. If you can build bombers and aircraft carriers, wouldn't you really want to dominate the dragon map?

But he soon came to his senses from his endless ecstasy, "Chief Ruiz, I wonder how much these settings will cost?"

"It costs 100 gold coins to build a goblin laboratory, 50 gold coins for a goblin workshop and an ore refinery. Each subsequent upgrade will cost a lot of money. Of course, your investment is not in vain. I came out from the goblin city to test it.

With the blueprint of the Goblin motorcycle invented by my father behind me, as long as we can build the facilities, we can put it into production immediately."

"Goblin motorcycle? What is this?"

"Like your mount, it is a means of transportation. However, my father was buried in the Goblin City just after this motorcycle was invented. Many of its functions are imperfect and can only be used for transportation. It cannot be ridden in battle like a mount."

"This has little impact. How is the speed of the goblin motorcycle?"

Although you can ride a mount to participate in battle, Li Mu has almost never done so, mainly because he is in close combat. Riding a mount will become very clumsy, and the target will become larger and easier to be attacked by the enemy.

"Although it is the most basic motorcycle, the speed is not bad."

With that said, he took out a blueprint from his backpack and handed it to Li Mu.

He took it and looked at it.

Goblin motorcycle (blueprint): primary blueprint, which can be converted into technology in the goblin laboratory, and then mass-produced in the goblin workshop. It is driven by energy crystals, has a speed of 24, and can carry a normal load of 500. After the normal load is exceeded, every additional 100

, reduce the speed by 3 points, the durability is 50000/50000, and can be repaired in all goblin shops.

Goblin motorcycles need to be driven by energy crystals. He is no stranger to energy crystals. There is a certain probability of getting them by killing monsters above the elite level. The speed of 24 yards is very attractive, but the normal carrying capacity of 500 is a bit useless, which means that this

Even if a motorcycle is built, it will be difficult for him to use it. His current normal load capacity is close to 800. Assuming that his equipment is not changed and the load is not increased, the speed of riding such a motorcycle will only be 15 points. Compared with his Thunder

It's almost the same as a lizard. Of course, if you only want to travel, you can put all your equipment into a backpack to reduce the load.

"Elder Ruiz, what kind of batch method is this batch manufacturing?"

"The level one goblin workshop can handle 5 units of manufacturing tasks per day and has only one production line. After it is upgraded to level 2, it can handle 10 units of manufacturing tasks per day. It also has only one production line. After it is upgraded to level 3, it can handle 15 units of manufacturing per day.

Mission, with 2 production lines.”

"How many units of manufacturing tasks does a goblin motorcycle require?"

"20."

"Damn, it's so high? It takes 4 days to build one!"

"Yes, of course, upgrading the goblin laboratory and goblin factory can increase production efficiency. Every time the goblin laboratory is upgraded, the production time of all goblin technologies will be reduced by 10%, while the upgrade of the goblin engineering level will increase manufacturing efficiency. However,

The premise is to ensure that the ore refinery can provide enough ore! Because the number of goblins is too small, only one of these three facilities can be built at present. When the number of goblins increases and there is enough labor, the second one can be built."

"What ores are needed for an ore refinery? How efficient is it?"

"The first-level ore refinery can only smelt black iron ore, cold iron ore and copper ore. If the ore is sufficient, it can smelt 100 pieces of cold iron, 50 pieces of black iron and 20 pieces of copper every day. A basic goblin motorcycle

It requires 50 pieces of cold iron, 20 pieces of dark iron, and 10 pieces of copper. The refined ore in the short term can be supplied to the workshop, but it will not be possible after the level of the laboratory and workshop is upgraded. However, with the development of the goblin clan, it may be

Then we will be able to build a second ore refinery.”

“How many people are needed for these facilities?”

"The goblin laboratory and goblin workshop require 2,000 people, and the ore refinery requires 1,000 people. Each time these facilities are upgraded, the area and required population will increase by 20%. Now we have less than 5,000 people. How can we operate this facility?

For a set of facilities, if Longteng City can remain calm and there is no war, our birth rate can reach 10%. Calculating this, we can build a new ore refinery in two years, of course without upgrading the facilities.

.”

"so slow?!"

If this rate continues, it will be difficult for these goblin technologies to be transformed into actual results. After all, although players are establishing more and more settlements, and the map is so big, sooner or later conflicts will arise. It is impossible for Longteng City not to expand. Since it wants to expand,

There will inevitably be conflicts. Although Longteng City is located deep in the Cemetery of Gods, various powerful monsters in the Gods Cemetery can protect Longteng City from being invaded, but it also restricts the expansion of Longteng City, so it needs to improve quickly.

The defense of Longteng City.

"Is there no other way?"

"Of course there is. Although I am not sure, I am sure that there are still tens of thousands of goblins scattered on the continent. They are either wandering, living in snails, or becoming slaves. If you can bring them to Longteng City, these facilities can be expanded

The speed will definitely be greatly improved.”

"Okay, I will definitely pay attention. As long as I find scattered goblins, I will definitely bring them back to Longteng City. By the way, can your facilities use workers from other tribes?"

"this……"

"Does Patriarch Ruiz have something to hide?"

"Haha." After hearing Li Mu's words, Old Ruiz laughed sarcastically, and then said, "I'm not afraid of City Lord Li Mu's jokes. We goblins are born short like the dwarves, but we are not as powerful as the dwarves. Technology has become our

The only guarantee for survival on the mainland, so..."

Having said this, how could Li Mu still not understand that, to put it bluntly, it is the protection of intellectual property rights, "Haha, I was the one who was abrupt, indeed. This is the fruit of your labor, and it is normal for you to do this, but from the current scale

It seems that it is too difficult to convert your technological advantages into military achievements. It will take at least 10 years or more. I am afraid that Longteng City cannot afford the expenses during this period. Do you think this will work? You will be used for all important links.

Goblins will do it. Other links should be done by workers from other tribes as appropriate. As for who to send to do it, you have complete decision-making power."

"Let's do this. Let's sign a verbal agreement. As long as you can rescue a goblin tribesman from the mainland, I will agree to you sending another tribesman to help, but he can only work in the goblin workshop and ore refinery. The goblin laboratory must be fully occupied.

They all use our goblin people."

"Well, that's too little. Think about it, if Longteng City becomes stronger, the status of every resident in Longteng City on the mainland will be improved, including you goblins. Moreover, if Longteng City becomes stronger, it will have enough ability to protect it.

Every resident, and your technology is very important to improve the defense capabilities of Longteng City, so for every goblin I rescue, I will send 5 workers in to help."

"No, this is too much. It will definitely make many of us goblins unemployed, and it will also leak our goblin technology!"

After hearing Li Mu's suggestion, Ruiz rejected him directly.

"How can I make you unemployed? I want to use more labor to expand production, not to eliminate goblin workers. If you are worried, I can promise you now that as long as there are enough people, I will definitely

Building new laboratories and factories will not make any goblin unemployed; in addition, you can select all the workers who enter the goblin workshops and ore refineries. There is no need to worry about technology leakage. After all, the laboratory is
