Chapter 1171 Horrible Gap
"I didn't realize that you dwarves actually value equality for everyone? This really surprised me!" Li Zhenbang looked at Lao Dong and Xiao Keduo in surprise.
"Our dwarves have always valued equality for everyone, otherwise how could we sell weapons to everyone in need!" Xiao Keduo said arrogantly.
Li Zhenbang looked at Xiao Keduo with strange eyes, this reason is really shameless, where everyone is equal, they are clearly making war fortune.
"Zhenbang, don't even think about it. If we only sell weapons to the Twilight Federation, how can you humans have any room to resist? There is only one life, and we produce weapons because we pity lives, our painstaking efforts Who can understand? Alas!" Xiao Keduo shook his head and sighed.
After listening to Xiao Keduo's words, Li Zhenbang was speechless for a moment. The dwarves are a race of the Twilight Federation, and it is understandable that the weapons he produces are only supplied to the Twilight Federation.
But if they really want to do this, the consequences will be unimaginable! Just imagine, a group of orcs wearing sophisticated weapons and armor made by dwarves on the battlefield, facing a group of humans wearing armor that looks like paper, it would be like a tiger rushing into a herd!
Perhaps human beings will be able to forge powerful armor weapons with great efforts, but before that, human beings will definitely have to pay a heavy price, and it may even be the price of extermination.
Li Zhenbang knew very well that Zhao Tianlong was not a mediocre person, he was very different from the previous kings of the Carlo Empire, the biggest difference was that Zhao Tianlong had ambitions.
Zhao Tianlong has a private department specializing in the research of weapons and armor, just to prevent the dwarves from restraining humans in the event of a war.
Over the past few decades, human research has achieved certain results. In the research and development of high-end weapons, there are still high-end weapons comparable to those produced by the dwarves. However, the high-end weapons produced by humans consume much more manpower and financial resources than the dwarves. As for the mass-produced weapons and armor, the quality gap with the dwarves is relatively large.
Li Zhenbang used to think that the dwarves exported weapons to make money, but he didn't expect the dwarves to have such an idea.
It is a bit ironic to say that the world's largest arms supplier, the greatest ideal is that everyone is equal and the world is peaceful.
However, judging from the philosophy of the dwarves, they have indeed done a good job. At least on the mainland, the proportion of weapons made by the dwarves owned by the troops of various countries is more in line with the balanced concept. As for the armament in the dark, it is beyond the control of a dwarf.
Chatted with Lao Dong for a while,
Xiao Keduo took Li Zhenbang into the No. 1 Gate in the World and entered the interior of Iron Furnace Mountain.
As soon as he entered the Iron Furnace Mountain, Li Zhenbang was shocked by the situation inside the Iron Furnace Mountain.
Iron Furnace Mountain was originally just an iron mine, but the interior was hollowed out by the dwarves. The dwarves built their own kingdom inside Iron Furnace Mountain.
The interior of Iron Furnace Mountain is not like other palaces and halls, giving people a graceful and noble atmosphere, but here it gives people a sense of majesty and majesty.
"Do you all live here?" Li Zhenbang pointed to the rows of iron gates and looked at Xiao Keduo suspiciously.
"This is not where we live. This is the cave where our weapons are stored. Every room is connected together and communicated with other places. Once a battle occurs, we can enter the fighting position as soon as possible." Xiao Kedo explained.
"The upper part is our living area." Xiao Keduo pointed to the top of his head and said.
"Above?" Li Zhenbang looked up and saw nothing but a huge black roof.
"Follow me!" Xiao Keduo led Li Zhenbang to turn a corner, and saw a wide stone step leading directly to the roof.
Li Zhenbang followed Xiao Keduo up the stairs, and when he got to the roof, he found that there was nothing wrong with it.
There are dwarves everywhere on this floor. The dwarves are coming and going in and out of each room, looking very busy. Occasionally, the voices of children can be heard, full of the breath of life.
"Do all of your people live on this floor?" Li Zhenbang looked at it and felt that although there are quite a few people living here, it seems that if this is the entire population of the dwarves, it seems to be too small.
"A dozen or so floors up from here are the living quarters of our dwarves," Xiao Kedo said.
"You should live on the top floor, right?" Li Zhenbang asked casually.
"How do you know?" Xiao Keduo looked at Li Zhenbang suspiciously. It was obvious that Li Zhenbang came here for the first time, and he hadn't told Li Zhenbang where he lived, so why did Li Zhenbang guess it all of a sudden?
"You keep saying that everyone is equal, but in the end you still have privileges?" Li Zhenbang asked with raised eyebrows.
"What kind of privilege is this? All the rooms are decided by lottery. After the dwarves get married as adults, they will be separated from the family, and then they will draw their own houses. They will live in wherever they are drawn. The specifications of each floor here are basically the same. It’s the same, that is, there may be some surprises in the details.”
"In fact, everyone has their own preferences. Some people like low-level people. If they choose middle-level and high-level people, they can choose to exchange with others. If they are willing, they will exchange." Xiao Keduo explained.
"Are you still allocating houses to each family?" Li Zhenbang looked at Xiao Keduo in surprise.
"It's not just about housing. For example, the expenses of weddings and funerals are arranged by our royal family, and standard weapons and equipment are free, but generally they use weapons and equipment that they built themselves or passed down from their families."
"There are many similar things. For example, it doesn't cost money to raise children, and it doesn't cost money to educate children. Our royal family will also pay for them when they get old. Anyway, you'll know when you stay here for a long time." Xiao Kedo continued.
"Your benefits are really not so good!" Li Zhenbang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"That's right! I dare say that the treatment of the entire continent, including our dwarves, is the best! How is it? Are you interested in living here?" Xiao Keduo raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Forget it! I don't believe that there will be pies in the sky! If this is the case, wouldn't it be enough to lie at home every day and wait for death? How can there be so many dwarves who are willing to work hard to build weapons and equipment? Will the dwarves go out to be mercenaries? Don't they also want to go out to make a living?" Li Zhenbang shook his head.
"Some dwarves just like excitement, that's why they become mercenaries. As for building weapons and equipment, that's what dwarves naturally love, and it's in their blood!" Xiao Keduo said excitedly.
"Okay, okay! It's all in your blood, right?" Li Zhenbang said perfunctorily.
"Forget it, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, I'll take you to see everyone's work status and you'll understand! Come with me!" Xiao Keduo continued to walk up with Li Zhenbang.
Walking through the living area, Li Zhenbang suddenly felt waves of heat coming, and there was also the sound of tinkling metal.
Li Zhenbang knew in his heart that it seemed that he was about to enter the work area soon.
Sure enough, after turning a few turns, a group of brawny dwarves came into Li Zhenbang's sight, and beside these brawny dwarves was a burning stove.
These strong dwarves waved the hammers in their hands vigorously, and tapped the weapons and equipment in their hands with concentration.
There are some whose weaponry is already in shape and being fine-tuned, while others are clearly just getting started. Looking carefully, these weapons and equipment seem to be sold to the country as standard equipment for arming various teams.
"They are..." Li Zhenbang looked at Xiao Keduo suspiciously, and he could feel that most of the dwarves here were relatively immature, as if they had just come into contact with them.
"They are all apprentices, and they practice by building standard equipment, and those standard equipment are basically made by these people." Xiao Keduo explained.
"You mean, the standard equipment used by those armed forces was made by them? And it's just for training them?" Li Zhenbang stared at Xiao Keduo with rounded eyes.
He really couldn't believe that the size and model of those standard equipment were exactly the same, and the error between the two pieces was so small that it could be ignored, but it turned out that it was only made for these apprentices to practice their hands.
"That's right!" Xiao Keduo nodded, "All forging masters start from this step!"
Li Zhenbang felt a little uncomfortable. The apprentices were just standard equipment for practicing hands, but human beings spent a lot of money, material and manpower to achieve it.
But human beings turned a blind eye to this, and instead were complacent about being able to create high-end weapons for the dwarves, but they forgot the difference between the consumption of such a weapon and the consumption of the dwarves. Ridiculous thing!
This is like a fisherman, driving a boat, throwing countless baits, and finally casting a net and only catching a small fish. But when he saw a person on the shore caught a fish, he laughed at the other person for only catching a small fish.
"I'll take you to see it again!" Xiao Keduo patted Li Zhenbang and shouted loudly.
The sound here was too loud, Xiao Ke was afraid that Li Zhenbang would not hear him.
Li Zhenbang nodded, followed Xiao Keduo up, he really wanted to see what else was up there.
Then he walked through the three-story hall similar to the apprentices' work, and Li Zhenbang saw rooms one by one, and the door of each room was wrapped with thick monster skin.
"This is..." Li Zhenbang asked, pointing to the door.
"This is to increase the sound insulation effect, so that the sound of forging in other rooms will not be introduced and affect the forging of the masters here." Xiao Keduo said casually and pulled the rope outside the door of a room.
