Chapter 415: Master Craftsman Lu Lun VS Grand Master Craftsman Lu Yuan
Seeing that Gu Chong was dying and had great difficulty in saying a word, everyone felt sad.
The chairman of the alliance bowed and said solemnly: "We, the underground alliance, have been in your debt for a long time."
"Now there is a civilization outside. Their technology seems to be more advanced than ours, and they may have better medicine. We can promise to allocate some funds to treat you."
"But if something bad really happens, I hope you can help me and protect me..."
After a long time, Gu Chong whispered: [Yes.]
The voice sounded a little vicissitudes of life, and it seemed that there was not much hope.
Then, it could no longer speak and fell into a deep sleep.
"Alas, the ancient insect's condition is getting worse and worse..."
The craftsman standing next to the altar is the master craftsman who forged the "Earth-Splitting Axe". Furnace Wheel is also a master craftsman who inherited the heritage of gear civilization.
When the Dark Steel Civilization discovered the "Dongtian", the "Ancient Worm" asked them to learn the contents of the jade pendant.
All the craftsmen wanted to inherit that legacy! But in the end, only Lu Lun could inherit it perfectly.
The inheritance is called "Gear Craftsmanship and Metal Disassembly", which records a variety of extraordinary forging techniques.
To understand the glyphs, one must have a divine attribute of 12 points, so the threshold is quite high.
Over the years, the gifted Master Lu Lun has been studying day and night, and he dares not delay even a moment except for eating and sleeping!
In other words, he was a national treasure of the Underground Alliance, supporting the extraordinary forging industry alone! Even the craftsmen apprentices in the alliance were brought up by him.
"The forging skills of human civilization are very strong?"
"I don't know... but they used a rare shield to block the attack of the Earth-Splitting Axe."
Fighting spirit suddenly burned in Lu Lun's eyes: "I will play in the second game."
Many leaders saw that Master Lu Lun was willing to play, but began to hesitate... Because is it worth it to win? If "Lu Lun" doesn't play, they will definitely not win...
Even if "Lu Lun" comes on the field, he may not necessarily win.
If something happens to this national treasure, it will be a big trouble.
Finally, an elder of the Slant Eyes tribe sighed and said, "Everyone, we are the weaker party, so we should stop trying to hide it."
"It's not that the other party will actively attack us... If we can't show our trading value, the other party might just leave..."
"There is no good without reason in the world. Without value, there is no way to make the other party look up to you."
"The world outside may be more cruel than we imagined. We must seize this opportunity."
That's true.
Guo Dafeng's act of actively feeding the medicine just now proved, intentionally or unintentionally, that human malice is not that great.
Instead, it is the 12 civilizations of the underground alliance that have a need to communicate with humans.
Finally, after a brief discussion, the chairman of the alliance said, "Master Lu Lun, I'll leave it to you... Since you've decided to go on the field, you have to win."
"I'll try my best."
Lu Lun nodded and took out the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck.
This jade pendant is called "The Spiritual Jade". It will automatically destroy itself after reading the information inside. Now only a pile of debris is left, which he has carefully preserved until now.
He whispered quietly: "May the God of Gears protect us..."
…
The second gambling fight, forging!
The rules are simple: only "inferior grade" extraordinary materials and the most common industrial products, such as glue, nails, springs, etc. are allowed.
However, materialistic technologies such as silicon-based chips, high-end sensors, radar lasers, etc. are not allowed to be used.
In the end, the one who creates the product with the highest quality will win.
Of course, as the host, the Underground Alliance carefully prepared a forging table and some smelted metal ingots for free use by humans.
…
The Underground Alliance actually proposed to conduct a gambling fight through "forging"! The humans were a little confused for a while, thinking that the other party seemed to be here to deliver food.
Every pair of eyes stared at Lu Yuan, as if they were sure of victory.
"Why, are you so confident in me?" Lu Yuan asked unhappily, "What if I lose?"
Craftsmen are walking gold mines. They usually stay at home and are well protected.
Only Lu Yuan is a weirdo who can fight, forge iron, and serve as a diplomat on the front line.
Guo Dafeng smiled and said, "You are a master craftsman who has forged an epic level. The Greedy Demon can also devour ores and continue to evolve. It must be immortal now, right? Even if the other party is a legendary master, so what? There is a gap of several levels."
"Oh, you guys think it's easy."
"The craftsman industry relies most on inspiration. Daily accumulation is 10%, and inspiration is the other 90%!" Lu Yuan said helplessly, "What if the other party suddenly realizes it on the spot and creates a legendary work directly? I don't have the ability to win."
"Commander-in-chief, don't worry. It doesn't matter if we lose. We are just trying to observe the other party's intelligence." Professor Lu Tiantian said with a smile, "It seems that the Underground Alliance wants to show its communication value, otherwise they would not have come up with this trick."
"They must have shown their true strength!"
From the battle just now, any discerning person could see that the underground alliance had gone astray.
If the fire can't break through the fourth level, isn't it crooked? Even they themselves are aware of this. Those soldiers, experts, and diplomats are all a little impatient... This impatience is difficult to conceal.
However, for human beings, whether others develop in a wrong direction or not has nothing to do with themselves.
As long as there is exchange value, humans do not mind learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses and trading.
"Well, since you all said so, I don't have any problem with this." Lu Yuan could only be thick-skinned, "Actually, I have a strong desire to create recently. I haven't been home for too long. I miss the Castle in the Sky and the Big Eater Canteen more and more."
Everyone felt the same way and sighed.
This damn place is really depressing, with bugs, stench, and acid everywhere. It is completely different from the sky city with singing birds and blooming flowers.
Who wouldn’t miss that warm harbor? “After establishing stable diplomatic relations, we can go back to the rear and take a short break,” said Colonel Guo Dafeng. “How can we stay out all year round? We still have to establish a shift system in the future.”
"No! Don't raise a flag!" Lu Yuan shook his head and lowered his voice. "Maybe in the next second, a war will break out between the two sides!"
People were all shocked and did not dare to take it lightly.
…
After the decision was made, everyone waited for almost 20 hours.
The Underground Alliance hosted them warmly, with dancing, shooting competitions, and insect fighting contests all taking place to prevent the humans from getting bored.
During the conversation, several human diplomats also enjoyed the local luxury delicacy "Golden Mushroom Fried Chicken and Rice", which made their mouths drool, their eyes sparkle, and their hair stand on end.
This magical mushroom "Chicken Leg Mushroom" contains a unique idealistic element. After tasting it, intelligent life will automatically generate the flavor it wants. It is really delicious and delicious! It also has many benefits to the human body. It can improve the neurodevelopment level of children. Even adults can increase the growth rate of their divine attributes after eating it!
However, except for the diplomats, the soldiers were unable to enjoy the food (they had to be a little cautious). They could only hide in the mechas and eat the food they brought with them.
Almost a day passed before a short old man with a big beard walked out of the dark corridor.
Behind him, there were dozens of craftsman apprentices with different appearances and from various races.
"Oh, the real master is finally here..."
Lu Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The highest level of the Underground Alliance is only Extraordinary Level 3. In this case, the shape attribute is only about 15-20 points.
Long-term physical labor will cause slight deformation of the body. The bearded old man has calluses on his hands, well-developed triangular muscles on his shoulders, and a focused and confident look in his eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is an old craftsman who has been immersed in forging for a long time.
"Underground Alliance, Dark Steel Civilization, Master Craftsman, Lu Lun, greets the ambassador of human civilization." Lu Lun performed a etiquette unique to this civilization.
An interpreter helped translate it.
"Human civilization, master craftsman, Lu Yuan."
"Let's compete in a friendly and fair way, learn from each other, and make up for each other's shortcomings." Lu Yuan put on his legendary gloves. (When creating conch clothes, the scraps can increase the forging feel.) When he heard that Lu Yuan was also a master who created a "legend", Lu Lun's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a strong desire for communication.
Well, there is only one master craftsman in the entire underground alliance, and many things can only be figured out by oneself, and there is indeed a lack of technical exchange.
Every time he forges, Lu Lun is filled with deep piety.
He felt that he would always be an old apprentice on the path in the valley, embarking on a journey.
This mountain is too steep and too far away.
Even with the guidance of predecessors, he still felt like he was looking up to a mountain.
Therefore, he took every step of the climb with awe and piety... He regarded this career as everything in his life.
As for Lu Yuan...
Well, although his skills are inherited from his predecessors, most of them were gained through sudden enlightenment during the "state of inspiration".
He felt that the essence of forging was just a complex idealistic mechanism. The bolder a person was, the wider the boundaries of his creation would be. Sticking to rules and regulations would only hinder oneself.
Especially after creating "Mythical Vision", he gradually found his own creative path.
After the two introduced themselves to each other, they came to the workbench.
This is a forging table prepared by the underground alliance, equipped with pliers, files, pressure irons, rulers, forks, saws and all kinds of tools.
Of course, you can also use the forging tools you prepare yourself.
As long as the materials used by both parties are of low-quality grade.
Lu Yuan sighed softly. In the past, forging equipment was a relatively private job. This was the first time he had to compete in front of everyone, which caused him a lot of psychological pressure.
The materials in front of us include "black iron", "tungsten iron", some smelted metal elements, and industrial products such as nails and glue.
These are the most common extraordinary materials. They are relatively cheap and used in large quantities. Any serious craftsman has come into contact with them.
There are also some biological materials, like Zerg wings, barbs, insect legs and so on.
[The biological material of the Zerg, may contain a small amount of idealistic rules (low quality level——)]
Well, some have one minus sign, and some have three minus signs.
Shells are not a good material because their properties are too complex. As biological materials, they cannot be purified. Indiscriminate use will only lead to subjective interference and affect the quality of equipment.
For a moment, Lu Yuan didn't know what to do... After all, he has always used high-end materials and has not done much research on these low-end materials.
…
On the other side, the master craftsman, Lu Lun, picked up a metal ingot, looked at it carefully for a while, and a prototype of a weapon came into his mind... just like the thousand or ten thousand times he had tried in the past.
"This time, I must do the best."
He asked in a low voice: "May I ask Mr. Lu, are there any distinctions between killing tools, production tools, protective tools, and functional tools?"
Lu Yuan was observing the forging table provided by the Underground Alliance, and was stunned: "Of course there is no distinction between high and low."
Lu Lun said: "But why is my ability to create the 'Device of Killing' far superior to other tools?"
"The Earth-Splitting Axe was created by me. In addition, I also created two other legendary weapons."
"But I am far from being able to create other tools of the same quality... I am only good at forging weapons."
This old man is also interesting. He actually started chatting while gambling.
Three legends! This guy is really something to be proud of.
Lu Yuan has always treated master craftsmen with an attitude of equal communication.
No one would trouble a human-shaped gold mine, not even the strange demon.
"Master Lu Lun is joking. Perhaps it is the 'luck of civilization' that is causing this..." Lu Yuan pointed to the ceiling. "The Underground Alliance is trapped in the Zerg encirclement. The luck of the entire civilization has undergone a subtle change. The collective needs you to produce more 'Weapons of Killing'. So you can use this subtle belief to forge higher quality."
"'The fortune of civilization' is the core of idealistic forging. If you can borrow one ten-thousandth of the fortune of civilization, you will already be at the master level."
"If we can borrow one thousandth or even one percent of it, we will have a chance to become a master."
This is actually common sense, and it is knowledge that every craftsman among humans knows.
As soon as he heard the words "civilization fortune", Lu Lun knew that the man in front of him was definitely a man of real talent and learning, so he asked, "In that case, Master Lu, which is more important, civilization fortune or personal fortune?"
Lu Yuan replied: "Of course, personal luck is more important. Without me, where would civilization come from, where would inspiration come from?"
