For Prell, making a "bronze hammer" requires him to spend about half an hour to forge each hammer, and it will also consume part of his physical strength.
Physical strength is the life value in the game, so after Prell builds a weapon, he has to read a "Flash of Holy Light" to himself.
The efficiency of making weapons by him alone is not very high. Of course, compared to the Minotaur blacksmiths, his speed of making weapons is already exaggerated. This amazed a group of honest Tauren blacksmiths.
In fact, it is impossible for him to soak in Stonehoof Valley every day. After all, there are other matters that need to be handled by him. Prell uses his free time to get into the blacksmith shop when he has time, watching him diligently forging.
, the tauren blacksmiths all praised privately, saying that they had never seen a great chief so willing to do hard work like Prell.
More than a month passed like this, and the long rainy season in the Barrens also affected the Stonetalon Mountains. For half a month, the entire Rolling Rock Canyon was shrouded in drizzle, and the valley became muddy.
The daily training of the garrison was naturally forced to be suspended, but Prell found another job for them, which was to start digging and cutting stone slabs under the leadership of Koruzik.
Prell originally planned to "invent" primitive cement and Roman concrete. He had spent some time at a construction site, read the information on commercial concrete tank trucks at the construction site, and roughly remembered the raw materials and proportions of concrete.
But he soon discovered that in a high demonic plane with magical energy, it was of little significance to develop such basic technology. After simply calculating the cost of cement and concrete, he gave up this idea.
With Koluzik, the mountain giant, and the mountain giant's racial talent, the cost of making the slate is almost negligible. Prell only needs to give Koluzik a "Blessing of Wisdom" BUFF, and this real mountain giant can do it.
Last whole day.
He was responsible for excavating the rocks from the mountain and roughly making them into stone slabs of different sizes and slightly different thicknesses. Then the kobolds were responsible for refining them, and the stone slabs with the same specifications were produced through manual assembly lines.
This is another form of using magic power. Although it still requires a lot of labor, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and what Prell needs to pay is just everyone's daily food consumption.
So Prell turned his head and started studying engineering. His forging skills were almost unable to improve, mainly due to the lack of raw materials, such as some associated ores and gemstones, leather, cloth, and powerful fluxes, etc.
.
Although Jikniku, the finance minister of the kingdom, was pulling the strings, the goblin baron was able to purchase a batch of weak flux from the goblins. The goblin baron had already tried his best and almost used up all the connections he could use.
The output of Rolling Rock Canyon is too simple. There are too many materials that need to be imported from external trade. However, there are many materials that either need to be purchased at a high price or cannot be purchased with money, such as those listed as embargoed by the goblins.
Powerful flux.
Under such circumstances, Prell's forging career had to be suspended. After all, his "forging profession" was completely different from the craftsmanship of the tauren blacksmiths. Prell even tried to teach the blacksmiths and apprentices his own forging methods.
, are totally unworkable.
Prell's chosen engineering direction is mainly gun manufacturing and explosives manufacturing. A low-quality stone can produce a low-quality gunpowder, and when the engineering skill reaches 30 points, he can produce low-quality explosives.
Use: Causes 26~34 points of fire damage to all enemies within a 5-yard radius."
It takes 1 minute to make a low-quality gunpowder and 5 minutes to make a low-quality explosive. This is Prell's manufacturing speed. However, the actual measured damage of inferior explosives is not high. Behind the Stonehoof Valley, Prell once dealt with several bundled bombs.
Thatched man tried it.
The result was not satisfactory. According to Player's estimation, it was roughly equivalent to the damage caused by a plate of 5,000 firecrackers. However, considering that the raw materials needed were easy to find and cheap, he could not ask for more.
So Prell devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study and manufacture of engineering, and quickly improved his skills to 125 points, and he could already make strong gunpowder.
Use: Causes 128~172 points of fire damage to all enemies within a 5-yard radius."
Prell is very satisfied with the actual measurement results this time, because the damage of high explosives can already meet the needs of combat.
Rolling Rock Canyon may have a shortage of other materials, but only all kinds of stones, whether they are inferior stones, rough stones, heavy stones or solid stones, thick and heavy stones, can be said to be inexhaustible.
But wool has become a problem again. There is no artificial wool in the world of Azeroth. All wool must be tanned with beast fur, and according to the requirements of system engineering, only Prell can make wool.
So Prell quickly set up a weapons team. He was responsible for tanning the wool, Koluzik was responsible for selecting various stones, and seven or eight selected kobolds--mainly the sons of the original kobold elders--were responsible for the execution.
As for the source of the wool, Prell specially invited Magatha. Horrible Totem. The two leaders hid in the conference room and quarreled. After discussing for a long time, they finally reached an agreement. The tauren will provide animal skins to the Kingdom of Thresh.
, the value of the hide is converted into explosives, and Prell gives an extra 10%.
In addition, the two brothers Jiknikku and Binznakku became busy again. Their task was to purchase enough animal skins through the goblin merchants they knew.
After seeing with his own eyes the explosive power of high explosives, and seeing Prell tanning animal hides into wool, turning heavy stones into high explosives, and using high explosives and wool to make high explosives, Lexa gave up.
He expressed his strong support for Prell.
Before this, Rexxar had always believed that as the leader of a tribe and a new kingdom, Prell was obsessed with making weapons and playing with weird things, and he was simply lost in playthings.
Pandaren Old Chen also gave his advice outspokenly, even citing the ridiculous things done by mogu emperors and pandaren emperors in Pandaria's long history.
But like Lexa, after seeing the fruits of Prell's labor, he immediately said that Prell was definitely not that absurd leader.
While producing gunpowder and explosives, Prell also continued to manufacture various types of muskets. The inferior muskets that can be manufactured with 50 points of engineering skills are just as the name suggests. They have no accuracy at all, short range, unstable shooting, and are generally
After Rael made a batch to increase his skills, he destroyed them all.
In his opinion, low-quality muskets are somewhere between weapons and toys. They are obviously unqualified as weapons and slightly dangerous as toys. Anyway, the raw materials are extremely cheap, and the current Thresh Kingdom can still withstand his waste.
As his engineering skills continued to improve, Prell finally selected the "Exquisite Handmade Musket" as the standard weapon of the kobold garrison.
As a standard weapon of the army, the first requirement is that the raw materials are convenient and cheap, the second is that the manufacturing process is simple, and then it has excellent stability and replaceability.
“Engineering: Exquisite handmade muskets
Materials required: Bronze pipe (2), a handful of bolts (2), heavy tree trunk (1), green agate (3).

The bronze pipe is made of two parts bronze ingots and one part weak flux, and one part copper ingot can be used to make a bolt, which is 5 standard bolts; the heavy tree trunk is selected from the mountains behind the Rolling Rock Canyon.
Beech tree.
The wood of the beech tree is medium-strength and easy to cut. The only drawback is that it dries slowly. So another group of kobolds were assigned to build a drying room at the back of Stonehoof Valley. They were responsible for drying and cutting it into shapes according to Prell's requirements.
of wood.
The tauren craftsmen took advantage of the sunny weather to dig and build a tunnel to guide the hot air from the smelting furnace and blacksmithing furnace to the drying room, thus saving some firewood.
Green agate is an associated gemstone that may appear during mining. Even though there are two mines in Rolling Rock Canyon, there is not enough inventory for the production of this gemstone, so Player tried to use turquoise instead, and the result was true.
Materials required: bronze pipe (2), a handful of bolts (2), heavy tree trunk (1), turquoise (4).

+3 Strength"
Prell was overjoyed and used turquoise instead of green agate. Although more materials were used, the damage of the musket was increased. More importantly, there were additional attributes. This made him even more motivated.
As for bullets, Player chose refined solid projectiles.
For tauren blacksmiths, if they want to make bronze, they need to add tin to pure copper, which is to make a copper-tin alloy. However, tin mines are rare and are basically controlled by venture capital companies. Rolling Rock Canyon has no output and only a small amount.
The tin ore was brought out from the Desolate Land when the Tauren tribe migrated.
Because of the alliance between the Thresh Kingdom and the Tauren, almost all the tin ore stored in Apalaye Camp and Sunstone Dwelling was transported to Rolling Rock Canyon this time.
So Prell had to use his own method, using 1 part copper ingot and 1 part tin ingot to make 2 parts bronze ingots. His production method is obviously more material-saving than the method of the tauren blacksmiths. Although it is slower, it is better than
at cost.
In the end, Prell produced a total of 100 exquisite handmade muskets, 60,000 rounds of exquisite solid projectiles, and 5,000 pieces of high explosives.
All the tin ore in Rolling Rock Canyon has been used up, and Jikniku is worried about how to find new raw materials. But Prell has not considered these troubles of Jikniku for the time being. He is hiding in the cave with other military officials.
Back training in Stonehoof Valley.
Stonehoof Valley is not very big, but among the mountains behind it, it is still easy to find a hidden and remote valley. At this time, Prell led a hundred tauren instructors to carefully select
The kobold soldiers began to practice the use of muskets and explosives.
Ordinary soldiers, using muskets for the first time, must practice a lot of actual combat shooting in order to truly develop their combat effectiveness.
These one hundred muskets were all built according to the size of the kobolds. For the tauren, their thick fingers could not even fit into the trigger hole, so Prell personally taught him and took these one hundred people to represent Thresh.
Soldiers of the Kingdom's future fighting style learn how to disassemble muskets, maintain parts, how to hold guns, how to aim, and how to shoot.
There are also fifty kobolds with outstanding arm strength on the other side of the valley, led by Rexxar and others, responsible for practicing throwing.
As a result, the constant sound of musket shooting and the sound of gunpowder explosions echoed in the valley for a long time. The tauren instructors on the side were both envious and distressed.
What I envy is that the power and rate of fire of the musket are not high, and the requirements for its users are not high. It would be great if the tauren could also be equipped in large numbers!
What is distressing is that the tauren in the entire Stonetalon Mountains have sent almost all the tin ore here, and now it has been turned into explosives and is being thrown "without mercy" by the kobold soldiers.
