Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 177: ballista and steel

Chapter 177 ballista and steel

"Lord(s), the true first-class defender ballista can reach a distance of more than 300 meters, and the accuracy of the aiming error is less than half a meter.` This can cause a great threat to the enemy ’s Gongcheng equipment in the counterattack. Former Empire During the period, Krissen V once proposed standardization of the production of the Shoucheng ballista. Each of the Shoucheng ballista produced during that period was a fine product. However, later the system was lax, and the Shoucheng ballista produced by the Emperor weapon could no longer reach That step. "

Grandmaster Fellin is introducing some common sense of defending ballista to Lorist. The open space is filled with various ballista currently used by Norton Family armed forces. Lien Chan caravan is regarded as a treasure by Doles. Twelve small ballistas obtained from Dawn Academy arsenal are also placed in two. Shelve here.

"The real important part of the Shoucheng ballista is the crossbow arm. In fact, we can use any wood to reach a distance of 300 meters directly. The only disadvantage is that it can not last. In other words, the second arrow and the The first arrow is very different. The reason is the difference in the elasticity and recovery ability of the wood. The material for making the crossbow arm must have excellent elasticity and the shortest recovery time in order to keep the bolt shot next and the first arrow At roughly the same level, this alone eliminated most of the wood. "

Grandmaster Fellin stopped with Lorist in front of the two small ballistas: "Lord(s), these two ballista can be regarded as the finest ballista I have seen in the past ten years. They are better than other defenders ballista It is half smaller, and the operation is easy to aim. The direct range can reach 260 meters, which is a fine product. I asked Doles and he said that the twelve small ballistas were made by Dawn Academy to participate in the ordnance procurement of the city defense army. The reason was that the election was abandoned and it fell into the hands of Lord(s)? "

Lorist nodded. He remembered that the reason he had written on the college ’s arsenal registration form was that the election was complicated.

Grandmaster Fellin laughed: "Wrong, Lord(s), you think, the average defender ballista needs at least five people to operate, but this small ballista requires only three people. How can it be considered complicated operation? The real reason It is expensive. The inability to mass-produce is the biggest weakness of this small ballista ... "

"Lord(s), do you know what material this small ballista crossbow arm is made of?" Grandmaster Fellin pointed to the two small ballista crossbow arms that looked like gold, not gold, and wood.

Lorist shook his head.

"The material of this crossbow arm comes from Relic Islands's unique arrow dragon wood. After three dips and three bubbles, it has such good elasticity and resilience. According to records, the arrow dragon wood was produced by legendary Magician(s) in the era of magic civilization. A plant that the Magic Crossbow has deliberately transplanted from another Planar World. It takes at least a hundred years to grow so large. Dawn Academy should also take a lot of effort to get so many arrow dragon wood, but later people do not know the goods, That's it. "

Grandmaster Fellin gently stroked the black and faint crossbow arm and sighed: "From the perspective of making a crossbow, the arrow dragon wood is indeed the best crossbow arm for making ballista, but the materials are scarce and expensive. The process takes a long time, Like three immersion and three bubbles, it requires six different ingredients and potions, which takes seven years. As an ordnance, the most important thing is cheap, can be mass-produced, and parts can be replaced at any time, which often brings equipment efficiency. It ’s really hard to find the best of both worlds.` "

"The ballista I designed by Lord(s) has been carefully calculated by already. From the design drawing, if it can be completed, it can be called an earth-shaking innovation in the history of crossbow, but I don't know if I can find or make Lord(s) ideas. The kind of elastic steel, without this steel plate as a crossbow arm, the Lord(s) would not be able to complete the idea of ​​using ballista to deal with large magical beast. "Grandmaster Fellin also knows the idea of ​​Lorist, but what he is good at is making ballista with wood, which takes time and effort It is impossible to make a large-scale ballista to equip troops at once.

"So, Grandmaster Fellin, if you go to Blade Edge Mountain Range with me tomorrow, the family built a Xuan Metal Refinery there. Let's see if we can let Hiro Grand-master forge a suitable steel plate for us to make a crossbow arm. "Lorist said.

...

Leaving the crossbow workshop, Lorist returned to the second floor office of Boulder Castle.

As soon as he entered the door, Miss Tristy lay on his desk and laughed out of breath.

"Dear. What's wrong with you?" Lorist was curious.

"Locke, don't you let all the families Knight(s) and the officials under you think about any way to deal with magical beast? Now these letters have been received, you see, haha, the idea in this letter is directly Open a road leading to the seaside of Blade Edge Mountain Range, and then when the magical beast tide comes, follow this road and go straight to the sea ... haha. It's so funny. "

Lorist also laughed. During this time, his family's Knight(s) and civilian officials were forced by him to come up with an idea to deal with the magical beast tide. Many people couldn't think of it, so their brains were wide open and various unreliable. Cranky handed over.

"Well, compared to the last time it was said that building a city wall from Boulder Castle to Maple Wood Villa is more reliable to protect Fengleyuan. At least he also gave magical beast a way out and went to the sea of ​​rage ..." Lorist commented.

The idea of ​​who made the last time was to build the city wall to prevent the magical beast tide from entering the Fengleyuan, but did not want to think about the distance of hundreds of miles from Boulder Castle to Maple Wood Villa. To build a city wall that can defend the magical beast tide, I do n’t know how much manpower it will take And material resources, there is still time. This reminds Lorist of the Great Wall of the past life, so it is very impressive.

Miss Tristy is happy again: "Locke, remember that there was an Knight(s) last time that didn't come up with an idea, saying that it was to move everyone, and dig a big trap on the way of the magical beast tide to let all the magical beast fall in and everything will be fine. I wrote a special reply to ask him what to do with the earth and stones dug by the big trap. He came back this time and said that he could bury the earth and stones by digging a hole next to it, haha ​​... "

Lorist smiled and shook his head. Many families, Knight(s), are martial arts who don't like to use their brains. It is really difficult for them to think of an idea to deal with the tide of magical beast.

I took a few letters from the table and looked up. The first letter said that all the lichens and moss of Fengleyuan were cleaned up. magical beast would not come again if there was something I like to eat. `Hey, why don't you want to think about how old Fengle is, let alone the lichen and moss, have you finished cleaning up? I just lost a few days and grew a large piece of it, no brain ...

The second letter is even more unreliable. It requires the production of large-scale poison Potion scattered on the lichen moss of Fengleyuan. It will be good when magical beast comes to death. brothers. Tell me how to make a poison Potion that can be stored in the open air for a long time without losing its efficacy. As Level 1 Potion Master, Lorist thinks that who knows such a poison Potion will definitely win the Forde Research Award of the Potion Master Association, and the 200,000 gold fordes bonus is shining and waiting for him to get it.

The third letter states that there is an isthmus about ten miles away from Maple Wood Villa, and the place is large. If at the time of the magical beast tide comes to find ways to seduce large magical beast like demon bulls and elephants, as long as these magical beast are trapped in the isthmus, the remaining small herbivorous magical beast will be easier to deal with.

Hey? This is a good idea. Lorist looked at the writer's name, Tarkel. A little familiar. Seems to have heard it. But is there a name in the family Knight(s) called Tarkel? There should be none in the impression of Lorist.

Pulled the call bell, Reidy came in.

"Reidy, find this person." Lorist said.

Knocking sounded soon, but Charade came in.

"Lord(s), Orville Keith Knight(s) sent an individual to Reported and said that Second Prince sent us a post. We invited you to Lord(s) to participate in the Northern Land Aristocrat(s) friendship party held on May 15th at the Grand Duke(s) consulate Jill Dusk City. See if we will go or not ? "

"The **** Aristocrat(s) sorority, after all, isn't it a way of trying to scrape money from Territory Aristocrat(s), why do you do it? We just refused, and we didn't have time to play Aristocrat(s) with Second Prince." Lorist said impatiently.

"Okay. I'll send someone to notify Orville Keith Knight(s) and let the messenger of Second Prince get out of here." Charade said.

"By the way, Fatty. Come with me to Xuan Metal Refinery over Blade Edge Mountain Range tomorrow. I have something to discuss with Grandmaster Sid. By the way, let's see how the weapon production base you plan is doing." Lorist said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow." Charade went back.

Reidy didn't find Tarkel until the evening and took him to see Lorist.

"Is it you?" Lorist laughed: "No wonder I always think you've heard the name, sorry, things are too much to forget you."

Correct standing in front of Lorist when the northbound caravan captured Gerdos City, Tarkel. The five big and three rough guys were occasionally shown by Lorist to have a delicate and thoughtful style of work that was very different from their appearance, and they became loved by talent. No matter how Tarkel objected, forcibly let caravan wrap his family to go north together. Then Lorist forgot about it and ran back to the family Territory to inherit the title.

This way north, the Tarkel family did suffer a lot. This can be seen from Tarkel who has not spoken and looked at Lorist aggrieved.

"Okay, Tarkel, I say sorry to you again, I made your family go north and forget to take care of you. So, no matter what you are doing now, come to me and be a close friend first. Right Reidy, go and register a house for the Tarkel family next to him, settle his family first, and then give him ten gold fordes as compensation for me. "Lorist ordered Reidy.

"Locke, who is he? You value him very much." Miss Tristy and other Reidy and Tarkel asked after they stepped down.

"Oh, don't look at this guy who is five big and three rough, but he is very delicate, and can notice the details that ordinary people don't pay attention to. It is a material for enquiries and spies. It is more afraid of death and cares about the family. I appreciate He asked caravan to threaten his family and go north together. Then I forgot him and went back to Northern Land. If it wasn't for him to write a letter to me, I wouldn't have thought of him. Look at the letter he wrote, It ’s hard to see. With so many people, he came up with a more reliable idea. "Lorist passed the letter to her.

"Well, Locke, are you going to Blade Edge Mountain Range tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I might stay longer this time. After that, I will inspect the construction of Fengleyuan districts. You and Charade Knight(s) will discuss the matter here. I ca n’t solve it. Send a messenger to deliver the letter. It's getting late, let's go to dinner first. "

...

Blade Edge Mountain Range.

The valley already below the current black iron mine has become a lively and extraordinary refining workshop.

"Lord(s), we have set up a total of seven refining furnaces, and the daily production of iron ingots is about three thousand pounds ..." Grandmaster Sid, as the person in charge, is making a project introduction for the Lorist, Charade and Grandmaster Fellin. .

Lorist Now, as a refinery of black iron ore, the so-called refining furnace is still very primitive. Unlike previous blast furnaces, people here built the refining room underground, exposing only a tall chimney. They put black iron ore into the underground furnace room, piled up charcoal next to it, ignited and kept blowing, and finally the temperature increased to turn the ore into molten iron, which flowed into the mold, and a black iron iron ingot was completed.

"I seem to see in which book, there is a different method of refining, which comes directly from stainless steel ingots." Lorist drew a previous blast furnace look on paper and handed it to Grandmaster Sid: "I remember as if The black stone used for burning is very hot.

Grandmaster Sid looked at the animal skin paper with the appearance of a blast furnace in his hand, and his expression was a bit awkward: "Lord(s) is really admirable. It's just that we can't make a blast furnace like this ..."

"Why?" Charade asked.

"Because this kind of blast furnace needs to make a kind of fire-resistant brick, this kind of brick can withstand high temperature so that this kind of blast furnace won't burst. We won't make this kind of brick ... "Grandmaster Sid said.

The insider, Lorist nodded, Grandmaster Sid immediately saw the key to making a blast furnace. Only Lorist does not know the manufacturing formula of refractory bricks, and can only slowly test it later.

"As for the black combustible stone mentioned by Lord(s), I've seen it called black flint. When that kind of stone burns, it will have a pungent odor, and if iron ore is refined from black flint The quality of the iron ingots produced is not very good, and it will be very brittle ... "Grandmaster Sid answered the question of burning black flint again.

In the world, coal is called black flint, but I ca n’t remember how coking is going on. It seems that coal must be coked to become coke before it can be used as a raw material for iron and steel. Otherwise, it will be destroyed by sulfur-rich coal. Anything produced will be crispy.

"How do you make steel?" Lorist asked.

"That's it, Lord(s). Look, the biggest refining furnace over there is used to produce steel. We put black iron ingots, put ingredients according to the type of steel to be made, and stir after burning. Then pour the molten steel into the mold, and after taking it out for continuous forging, remove impurities, and finally get a satisfactory steel. "Grandmaster Sid explained.

"That's the case. So I have a drawing here. I need a steel. Can Grand-master see if it can be refined?" Lorist opened his own ballista drawing. Grandmaster Fellin went forward to Grandmaster Sid and used it as a crossbow. steel plate characteristics and specifications of the arm.

After looking at the drawing, Grandmaster Sid frowned for a long time, and finally asked someone to come over to an old man.

"Lord(s), this is Master Yulian. He used to spend most of his life in the Imperial Capital manufacturing plant. If he can't make the steel you want, no one can make it." Grandmaster Sid said.

Do n’t look at Master Yu Lian's unobtrusive appearance. But after listening to the instructions and requirements of Grandmaster Fellin, I nodded: "It can be produced. The reeds under carriage , His Majesty the Seventh Emperor of Krissen, were higher than your requirements. I remember the formula. Just need to keep forging It needs to be hardened with oil at the end, and it needs a lot of manpower. If it is small, it can be produced. If it is large, it is difficult to have so many experienced blacksmiths forging. If it is light, it is useless, but it will This refined steel is broken. "

Lorist laughed: "This is no problem, I can design a water-powered hammering machine for you. You can see that the waterfall hanging down the mountain wall in this valley is so wasteful that it is just too wasteful to use it for forging. Hit, let me show you ... "

A sketch of water-powered hammering machine soon appeared in front of everyone, this is a very simple water-powered hammering machine, that is, the use of hydraulic impact on the paddle wheel to drive the gear, so that the hammer hit the iron **** up and down. The composition is clear at a glance.

Mr. Yu Lian Fu Daxi: "Lord(s), you are really a genius. With this, I can make you as much steel as you want ..."
