People in the Ark, Dimensional Blacksmith

Man in the Ark, written by a dimensional blacksmith with glasses

【This book has ended】

After three years of blacksmithing in Victoria, Silber finally realized that he could not flex his muscles here.

So he decided to go to the outside world to make a name for himself.

"Miss Killer Whale, what do you think of this Ceratosaurus shield axe? It has been certified by the authority of the Canglan Star. Baabaa can say it's good after reading it."

"Don't like it? It doesn't matter. Take another look at this meat saw knife. It can be transformed. It is the special attack of the ancient gods. It is the best choice for hunters!"

"Are you used to it? It's okay. Let's take a look at this undead slash, a green and safe version. It has no side effects, but still retains the ability to sever undead. It is the nightmare of all immortals!"

In the blacksmith shop known as urban legend, the owner was selling his own works, and then he saw the customer pointing his finger at him.

"Customer, only the owner of this shop is not for sale!"

Volume One

Prologue leaves

"Mr. Silber, the military nobles have rejected your water tank proposal."

In the slightly dilapidated personal workshop, a blond and soft-haired Filin girl came in from outside the house holding a document.

This workshop is covered with wind, frost and dust after long-term use, and the long history can be seen at a glance.

But the man standing in the middle of the workshop, wielding a hammer, was a young man who looked only 24 or [-] years old.

The firelight shone on the sweat on his muscular body, every time he swung the hammer, he was like a hero on an ancient sculpture, fully showing the tough and graceful muscle curves.

After hearing the girl's voice, Silber obviously paused the movements of his hands, and then poured all his strength into the hammer as if with an impulse to vent.

The roar of the clash of gold and iron spread throughout the workshop. Silber put down the hammer in his hand, and wiped his face with the towel around his neck:

"Well, I should have been prepared for this, the heads of the nobles have been soaked in alcohol...Ver, what reason did they use this time?"

The film girl named Weier did not open the document in her hand, and she had already remembered the arrogant result in her heart:

"Poor travel speed, unsatisfactory off-road ability, wasteful armor technology, and useless and harsh power source, they compared the water tank with the steam armor, and finally came to this conclusion."

For Victoria's military nobles, it is more difficult for them to accept a new thing that is about to appear on the battlefield.

If it is said that this newborn has made a good record in fighting directly on the battlefield, then even the most staid nobles will pay attention to him.

But the troublesome thing is that the newborn still exists only on the drawings, and even the trial works are still being fired in the furnace.

And under such circumstances, those nobles would not accept an existence that can impact their cognition on the stage so easily, let alone the person who created it, or the type they hate the most.

But on the other hand, the water tank really couldn't catch their eyes.

Compared with the Vaivan soldiers wearing steam armor, these huge water tanks are indeed a bit embarrassing.

In terms of vehicles, those assault ships born out of mobile cities far surpassed water tanks in terms of functionality and the number of people they could carry.

After all, no matter how convenient and quick the transmission system of the water tank is, it is not as good as a person's ability to control his own arm.

Moreover, the cost required to make one water tank is enough to make three steam armors.

So those nobles couldn't see the potential of this thing at all, and even said that as long as it was placed on the martial arts arena, maybe only one soldier in steam armor could directly turn the water tank upside down.

In fact, even Weir, who was an assistant, didn't understand the core idea of ​​the water tank at the very beginning.

But in the follow-up production, she understood the importance of the water tank one step ahead of those nobles.

If it is said that a steam armor soldier needs to go through layers of selection, after having a genius-like talent, he needs to pay a lot of sweat and hard work to be selected.

Then the driver of the water tank only needs to receive relevant training before he can drive the water tank and gallop on the battlefield.

In terms of the cost of personnel training, it can be said that the two are completely incomparable.

It may take more than five years to train a steam armor soldier, but it only takes about a year to train a water tank driver.

Even more extreme, a group of drivers can be quickly formed in three months.

But in Victoria, which believes in elite culture, this idea will naturally not be accepted by the mainstream.

Why do four people do what one person can do?

After Silber gradually calmed down, he took the document from Will's hand. After looking at it for a while, he also sighed helplessly.

Although he is not good at things like politics, it doesn't mean that he is really an unreasonable brain.

The reasons why the nobles rejected the water tanks were various, but generally speaking, it was because of one point - the benefits brought by the water tanks were not as good as the series of related industries opened for the water tanks.

Installation of the production line, restructuring of the logistics department, personnel training

Changes...these are things that need to be realistically considered.

So for this water tank, those nobles who have gradually lost their youthful enthusiasm will naturally not invest too much in it.

After all, even if it is quite effective, it will not bring them too much benefit, because the water tank cannot replace the status of steam armor in Victoria.

But if it is messed up, it will be a big loss for the nobles.

Losing face is more serious than money.

"Mr. Silber, should we continue to appeal this proposal?" Will asked.

After serious thinking, Silber shook his head: "No, the current era is not the time for this water tank to be born.

"Forcing it to appear in advance will inevitably lead to its premature death, so let's seal it up first."

Weier nodded, walked to the office of the workshop, and began to prepare for the pre-work of sealing the design drawing.

——Sealed together with several other design drawings proposed by Silber.

On the other side, Silber reached out and turned off the fire, frowning and looking at the air.

In a place invisible to others, a panel was floating in front of Silber.

【Artisan System】

This is one of Silber's little-known secrets, and as a traveler, this is also the guarantee for his survival on this strange continent.

If it wasn't for the existence of this system, he wouldn't even be able to find a mobile city, and he would be killed by wild beasts or robbers in the wilderness.

The relationship between the craftsman system and Silber is like a trading partner. Silber manufactures some parts or complete products, and then the craftsman system will score this, and give the craftsman points and craftsman experience that meet the scores to Xie. Albert.

And these craftsman points can be used to buy designs and even finished products in the store, and craftsman experience can improve Silber's personal physical fitness.

In fact, the change in the latter is not obvious. It is not the kind of upgrade to a level that completely changes a person, but more of a subtle change pattern.

What Silber valued more was the system currency of artisan points.

Because when he opened the store for the first time and saw the drawings and finished products lined up in the store, he knew that he was a man.

Ship outfits from the shipgirl world, Scarlet Queen from the Devil May Cry world, hunter weapons from the Bloodborne world, Mercury's hammer from Valoran, Leviathan's ax from the God of War world...

The crystallization of craftsmanship of countless worlds is placed within easy reach of Silber, how could this not make him not tempted.

Moreover, there are still some items in these stores that do not even have finished products, but only design drawings. Not to mention other things, just the monthly timepiece of Izaya Sakuya can already explain the preciousness of these items.

Back then, Silber was able to cross the wilderness because he relied on the props he made out of garbage on the way and exchanged for the Sten submachine gun he got from the shop.

Although the reliability of this thing is questionable, for Silber at that time, it was already the most cost-effective weapon among the items that could be exchanged.

After coming to Londinium in Victoria, Silber became an apprentice of an old craftsman by chance, and was successfully admitted to the Victoria Military Academy during his apprenticeship.

Because at that time he had already figured out how to obtain artisan points - if his props can be promoted and more people can use them, then he can also get a lot of points, in other words, popularity and practicality It is an important indicator for the increase of artisan points.

After some trials, Silber felt that if he could manufacture weapons, then his artisan points would definitely be a stable source.

It's just that at that time, he was so hot-headed that he obviously underestimated the complexity of this world, which fully reflected his innocence back then.

After three years of busy work, Silber took a look at his panel again, and found that the artisan points had barely risen.

And the refusal of the water tank's proposal also made him think about one thing.

Maybe this path won't work, maybe I should have chosen a more difficult but more rewarding path from the very beginning—challenging forgings with a higher degree of completion and difficulty.

So, after Weier sealed the documents, Silber said slowly to the female assistant whom he trusted so much: "I have decided to leave Londinium."

Weier is a person who seldom shows his emotions on his face, but after hearing Silber's sudden words, she still showed a bit of panic:

"Where are you going? Oxford? Glasgow?"

"No, I'm going to go further." Silber scratched his head: "Gaul, Casimir, or Ursus, in short, let's go around."

Weier looked at the man in front of him and tried to persuade him to stay: "Mr. Silber, maybe things have a certain turning point. We can appeal the water tank proposal again. There will definitely be nobles who will recognize your talent."

After changing his mood, Silber returned to the sudden state of mind again: "Then you have to look at those people's eyes, there is no need for that—By the way, I also ask Miss Weier to help you save these design drawings."

"Think that Londinium paid my boarding fee back then."

Chapter 1 The First Guest

When the last root stone gas pipeline was dismantled, this personal workshop, which had many wonderful ideas, was also sealed.

Before leaving Londinium, Silber came here for a while, but in the end he just took away the hammer he left in the workshop.

Indeed, as the assistant Weir said, as long as he is willing to go door to door to find those nobles, there will always be some forward-looking nobles who can find the value of the water tank.

And even if the noble only submitted the water tank proposal once in the parliament, the Ministry of Military Industry would have to seriously approve the proposal once.

At least it is necessary to make an entity for comparison, that is, to try to make a water tank for actual combat exercises.

So far, all of Silber's proposals have been stuck before this link.

If it was Silber who had just entered the military academy, he might still be able to look for those nobles, but now he wants to understand something.

In the future, it should be said that those nobles are the ones who put down their faces and beg for help.

Maybe it can be said that he is angry, but Silber has made up his mind to go. This land has only lifted a narrow veil for him, and there are still too many unknowns waiting for him.
