　　键锵! ! !
The metal struck each other to make a crisp and powerful sound, and the audience was paralyzed by the wonderful collision sound. After the trembling feeling, the audience's eyes first stared straight at the half-blade of the falling ground, and then turned to Thor's left hand. The flat incision of the second half of the hunting knife finally focused on the intact and unique style of the knife in Thor's right hand.
　　 is different from the kind of large and rough hunting knives commonly used by elves. Thor holds the knife in his right hand like a one-handed sword. If it is not the obvious feature of the straight-backed cutting edge, it is not surprising to look at it as a sword from afar.
　　 This strange long knife easily cut off the best hunting knife in the village-silently swallowing the reality, and began to digest the results of the hardness test of the knife at full speed to the shocking numb elves.
"Amazing……"
　　 The sunlight reflects the wavy lines left by the overburden and the gorgeous flowing lines of the material itself. The elegant and cold beauty dialysis the fascinating attraction. Not only the attention, but also the soul seems to be sucked in by this knife.
　　 "As far as the trial product is concerned, it's still a go."
　　 completely disdainful, far-satisfied and critical tone should have caused the elves' resentment, a good knife that can easily cut off a good hunting knife, without any damage itself, was actually degraded as "a good deal"? The guy who said this just wanted to pick the dragon bone out of the egg.
　　 But the elves responded only with doubt, and then cast a bitter smile to Li Lin, the critic and tool maker.
　　 "The best materials, the best craftsmanship, the best knives. Even so, I still didn't get a good product from the producer. I really don't know whether this exquisite work should be honored or unfortunate."
　　 Tyr's narrow smile, and the expressions of other elves were all subtle smiles in agreement.
　　 "The quality of weapons directly determines the life and death of the user. Some sloppy may let a group of soldiers die inexplicably. The sense of humor and leisure are mixed into this important matter, but it will lead to an unfortunate black humorous ending."
　　 The slightly playful and serious self-discipline has won the awe of the elves, but the real thoughts behind the hidden comments are not simply the quality issues.
　　Based on the limitations of various real conditions, Li Lin doesn't expect much from the elves' combat power in the short term.
　　Insufficient combat power is not only a literal meaning. It means that the number of elves that can be put into combat is not enough to support even a longer armed conflict. The source of troops is also part of the quantity problem. Regarding quality... The elf warrior is definitely better than the black snail that shoots straightly at a distance of less than 300 meters without holding the AK47 or 56 and pulling it straight, and there is no casualty between the two sides of the fire, but the Middle East and West Asia The terrorist organization militants or some militia organizations are definitely stronger than the elves, and at least the two sides are not at the same level in terms of battlefield experience.
The quantity and quality problems are not problems that can be solved in a short period of time. Even if you jump in a hurry and suddenly want to paint all the elves in red, put the head on the corner of the head, and then the powerful goddess gives this group of guys three times the effort And speed.
　　On the one hand, Li Lin began to implement the Prussian-style strengthened military training that made young elves wretched, but could never withdraw. On the other hand, he started the development of new weapons of a unified system.
　　 Nitrocellulose is one of the standard equipment, but the current consumption of mining has priority. Before the metallurgical technology is further developed and the production of nitrocellulose is expanded, the individual soldiers' chemical thermal launch weapons will not be included in the equipment consideration. Li Lin's top priority is the replacement of cold weapons.
　　What kind of cold weapon is the best choice for elves? On this issue, Li Lin holds three very different and even conflicting viewpoints.
　　Sacrifice certain performance indicators of weapons to ensure the number, in order to prevent the reduction of the number of troops from the perspective of the military bureaucracy that shakes the organization foundation;
　　I don’t care much about bargaining and reduce manufacturing costs, and regard the manufacturing of the best quality and best performance weapons as the only technical personnel perspective to pursue the goal;
　　A political leader who is responsible for coordinating effective communication between military personnel and technical personnel, avoiding a biased party and influencing the overall strategic layout. The perspective of the great dictator;
　　 Three different and staggered perspectives of economy, performance and strategy.
　　For soldiers, the weapons with the best performance and quality are tempting, but according to the principle of weapons and equipment, weapons with good reliability, low cost, and a large amount of equipment are most suitable for the needs of the military. After all, funding is limited, but performance and quality requirements are unlimited. From this perspective, the big blade is the only option. Low cost, simple maintenance, and simple production process that can be made by the blacksmith shop. It seems that there is no suspense about the big blade becoming the standard equipment of the elves.
　　However, the plan of the "Elven Broadsword Team" was not approved. The scene of "The Broadsword was cut off from the human head" was shot by Li Lin even at the stage of demonstrating the feasibility.
　　 The reason is very simple, the big blade is not suitable for elves.
　　As a contingency product made by a large base army to fill huge equipment gaps under the condition of limited budget, this simple cold weapon is more suitable for the orc army, and the combat environment faced by the elves is not enough for large blades.
　　For well-known reasons, the enemies envisioned by the elves are two intelligent species with great war potential in the Wilt World. Once in a state of war, it means that they will be confronted with an overwhelming number of enemy enemies. Based on the near-desperate geo-strategic environment, Li Lin customized a national defense strategy with active defense as the core for the elves.
　　 First of all, the elves must not think that they have a lot of hands. At this stage, it does not matter if they provoke humans. It is a brain stump idea that requires a comprehensive examination by a brain doctor. The all-round weak situation of political, economic, and military forces determines that the elves can only pursue a strategy of "post-commitment". What needs to be considered is "how to defeat the enemy in the form of defense". On the other hand, passive defense is also undesirable. Under the situation of strategic defense, it is necessary to give the enemy a heavy blow through rational deployment of troops.
　　Through reasonable tactical deception, contain the enemy forces. Following the rational selection of combat locations, rapid deployment of troops, rational distribution of troops, and reasonable selection of combat opportunities, the guerrilla warfare of the five basic principles of rapid retreat at the end of the battle will be the elven's mainstream combat method in the future. Accumulate experience and strength through guerrilla warfare, and provide actual combat experience accumulation support for the establishment of regular troops.
　　Even so, the human knight is not a fixed target, and he will not sit silly and wait on the ground waiting for the elves to harvest their heads. Wearing a tight and tight human plate armor or chest armor knight is definitely one of the best military powers in terms of anti-strike, unless it is the orc's terrible arm strength plus pickaxe, mace, chain hammer, Professional can openers such as batons and giant axes, otherwise, after leaving a painless scratch on the outrageous turtle shell, the epee in the opponent's hand will greet you.
Adapted to the unique mountain jungle environment of Nifurheim, easy to carry in fast-motion battles, stronger and sharper than the epee in the hands of the knights, can easily pierce the forest trackers wearing chain mail and leather armor, will The sharp blade is deeply inserted into the opponent's body-the standard cold weapons needed by the elves must meet the above conditions. Li Lin found a basic weapon after some weighing.
　　 Tang Dao horizontal knife (Note).
　　The standard knives of elves are such beautiful and sharp knives.
As the archetypal ancestor of the Japanese sword (NIHONTOU), the Tang sword was almost forgotten at one time, but it was named after one of the strongest dynasties in the Far Eastern powers. In its most eye-catching era, it was absolutely unprecedented. two. Its powerful combat effectiveness and equally eye-catching high cost finally created a dazzling and fast-falling fate ending in a meteor-like sky.
　　Li Lin produced a Tang sword made of Uzte steel (Wootz. Note 2) as a raw material and using the steel-clad method. Compared with the descendants of the Northeast Asian island country, which is known as one of the three famous knives in the world, forged by the steel clip method. Tang Dao fully considered the armor breaking function at the beginning of the design. The thick back, the axe blade opening, the head cutting edge, and the Baotou steel are all process designs used to meet this combat demand. Relatively speaking, the juniors who improved from the island environment lacking iron ore, coal mines, and insufficient horses are more focused on cutting bamboo armor and cutting meat.
　　 The elegant Tang sword won the elves' love for the first time. They are eager to get a good sword that no human noble master can equip.
　　 "Okay, gentlemen. Don't fall in love first, it's a knife, not your wife, even if you want to hold her in bed, please go home and say, let's look at another new gadget first."
　　It seemed as if these bad guys who loved the sword were destined to shrug their shoulders. Li Lin jumped over another cold weapon still under study: the compound crossbow in the elves' laughter. If these guys like bows and arrows like knives, I am afraid that they will really take care of the two toys as wives, even when eating and sleeping.
　　 However, these two types of investigations are temporary transitional options, emergency equipment before the establishment of the military system is completed. It is far from ideal quality weapons that can offset the horrible and overwhelming quantitative advantages of the human and orc army.
　　 A basket of black stones was lifted up, and the elves' laughter converged a little, and their dignified eyes were fixed on the ugly stone pimples.
　　 They know very clearly what destructive power these stones hide underneath their inconspicuous appearance, and despise what kind of heavy price these cold stones will pay.
　　 The surface is hollowed out and the interior is filled with cotton explosives to fill up the internal explosives. The elves called it "crazy stone".

　　Explanation of small theater time
　　 Niederhogg: ...Master Li Lin.
　　Li Lin: What's wrong?
　　 Niederhogg: Brush me red for the hair, there is an arrow-shaped horn on top of my head! ! ! !
　　Li Lin: If you have two brothers, it is no problem if they are all black. But aren’t you afraid of a white knight taking you as a springboard?
　　 Niederhogg: People are not Zaku...Well, what is Tang Dao?
　　 Li Lin: The horizontal knife, also known as the "Tang Da Dao", is a sword commonly worn by soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The horizontal knife, a two-handed knife, was developed on the basis of the Han Dynasty's "ring head knife"~EbookFREE.me~ The ring at the tail of the handle common in the Han Dynasty was removed, and the short handle was extended Changed to a long handle that can be used with both hands, making it a long straight knife with a narrow blade and thick ridge that can be used with both hands. The basic shape of the horizontal knife is very similar to the current "Japanese sword", but the blade and the blade of the horizontal knife in the Tang Dynasty are basically straight, unlike the common "Japanese sword" that is now curved with a curvature, The shape of the horizontal knife in the Tang Dynasty was straight. You can see pictures of modern imitations.
　　 Niederhogg: So, what about Uzsteel?
　　Li Lin: Damascus steel, also known as crystal pattern steel, is a perfect combination of ancient powder metallurgy and forging technology. It is called WOOTZ in most places in Britain, America and Europe; it is called FULAT in its origin India, Pakistan and Persia; it is called BULAT in the Caucasus region of Russia. WOOTZ's pattern is naturally formed, unlike folding steel, it is made by artificially welding materials with different properties and then folding and forging.
BLADE magazine has a test on WOOTZ steel. One is the sharpness test: WOOTZ crystal pattern steel after careful grinding can cut the huge knotted twine with one knife. The second is the toughness test of the blade body: the blade is clamped with a clamp Tighten it with a big hammer. The result took a lot of effort. The WOOTZ blade was knocked into a U shape but did not break. The test results proved that WOOTZ crystal pattern steel has both sharp and strong characteristics. By the way, because the traditional method takes a long time and has low output, the magic version of the improved smelting method is used here.
　　 Niederhogg: So it is!
