Chapter 263 Firearms, Battle Report, Bad News

On May 34th, Blade Edge Mountain Range, the valley where Professor Bob conducted the gunpowder test.

The thunderous thundering sounds constantly, the sound of cannons is deafening, echoing in the valley

Lorist with astonishment and shameless Grandmaster Sid, Professor Bob, Grandmaster Fellin, and a dozen other Imperial Guards, including Hula and Schwartz who were also promoted to Grand-master treatment, climbed out of the trench and headed more than 20 meters away. The seven Bronze cannons.

Lorist found that he slightly underestimated the casting level of this strange world. Ten days ago, under the leadership of Grandmaster Sid, he looked at the Bronze gun barrel that Lao Yulian had cast according to his design drawings, and found that it was less than a month old. Time-old Yulian even cast twelve Bronze cannons for him. Grandmaster Sid disdainfully said that Bronze casting is actually the lowest level of blacksmith apprentice skills, used for training hands, and the highest level of true casting is still the steel he has now trained.

Lorist With a bitter smile, the so-called stainless steel of Grandmaster Sid is made by continuous hammering of water-powered hammering machine. Under the premise of refractory bricks to build a new refining furnace, it is impossible to use high temperature to make molten steel. To cast artillery.

The Lorist of the previous life is just the director of a small handicraft factory. He does not know steelmaking or casting guns. But one of the products of his small handicraft factory is a Bronze cannon model. It is a very good decoration on the desk like a palm, and it can also be used as paperweight. Of course, these small Bronze guns are not cast, but are put out on a lathe.

Remember that Lorist also had a lot of interest in this small Bronze gun model at that time. It's very strange why the ancient times used Bronze to cast artillery instead of fine iron. I have seen some articles about Bronze casting artillery on the Internet Baidu Only to find out that the ancients were really clever. Casting artillery with Bronze is more applicable and cost-effective than fine iron. Of course Lorist can't remember the messy data, but the impression left in my mind is that before the steel industry was developed without a certain industrial foundation, it was best to use Bronze to cast artillery.

Thanks to the fact that the model of the small Bronze artillery was reduced according to the real artillery, Lorist can easily restore it, and all the data is clearly marked on the design drawing. The old Yulian also cast 12 Bronze guns in one breath according to his design drawings.

But after careful inspection, there were trachoma on the barrel wall or the barrel was not straight. Five guns were removed. The remaining seven Bronze guns, Lorist, instructed the workers to smooth the inner barrel and equip it well. The gun mount was transported to the valley where Professor Bob tested gunpowder.

Today is the first test of the gun. Seven Bronze guns are aimed at a cliff 400 meters away. After firing, the artillery position was filled with smoke, and the cliff that became the target was also pouring down the rocks

"Higgwa is up, isn't this a magic crystal cannon?" Looking at the ravaged cliff in the distance, Professor Bob exclaimed.

"Magic Crystal Cannon?" Lorist is a bit inexplicable, what the **** is that?

"Lord(s), I have seen some records about the age of magical civilization. The above mentioned the Magician(s) excavation of the ruins of the Sky Fleet passed down by the goblins. It improved and invented a long-range powerful weapon that uses the magic crystal as its power. The name is Magic Crystal Cannon. One shot can crush a mountain. It is said that the power of the largest Magic Crystal Cannon can shoot down the stars. Later, after the war with the gods, the Magic Crystal Cannons were transported to the kingdom of God. Several Gods were killed, but later, due to the slow charge and the unresponsiveness of the Gods, the magic crystal artillery unit was overwhelmed by the entire army, "Professor Bob explained.

"Oh, yes, but this is an artillery, which is incomparable to the magic crystal cannon. It is purely the use of the explosive power of gunpowder to launch the projectile. Lorist Compared with the legendary magic crystal cannon, my own Bronze The artillery was simply weak.

"Lord(s), the temperature of guns 1 to 3 is normal, the tentacles are a bit warm, and the gun base has not moved. The guns from guns 4 to 6 are a little hot. Twelve centimeters. In addition, a small crack appeared in the gun body of the No. 7 gun. The gun body was red and hot, and the gun seat was tilted to the left, leaving the original position.

Go to inspect the Imperial Guard of the seven Bronze guns and report to the Lorist with the animal skin paper folder that recorded the inspection results. On the side, Old Yulian's face turned red, and only a round of test firing was reimbursed. This made him feel ashamed to cast these Bronze cannons.

Lorist laughed and said, "Yu Lien Grand-master, this is not your business. This is the largest gun load of these Bronze guns. A small crack appeared. already said that the quality of these Bronze cannons you cast is very good. "

Next, Lorist instructed Imperial Guard to clean the gun chamber again and continue the test firing, but now it is a test firing of a door to verify the optimal charge quantity, as well as its range, power, interval and artillery heat dissipation. A series of tests such as the recovery speed and the durability of the Bronze artillery, how many cannons can be fired continuously to achieve the maximum number of firings.

After several rounds of test firing, Lorist took several Grand-masters back to their resting place, while Imperial Guard in the valley continued to test the artillery.

The rumbling of gunfire has no effect on the conversation of everyone in the room. Lorist looked at a few of them. Professor Bob was thoughtful. Julien Grand-master looked very excited. He did not expect that these Bronze cannons he had cast would have such great power. Grandmaster Sid is very surprised and eager to try. Maybe in his mind, artillery is a novelty, and it is worth his careful research. A frustrated face is Grandmaster Fellin, pale and pale.

"Grandmaster Fellin, what's wrong with you?" Lorist asked with concern.

Grandmaster Fellin somewhat lost answer: "Lord(s), with artillery, the crossbow car and Ballista will be useless after that. No matter the range or power, the artillery far exceeds Ballista, and the artillery can continue to develop Going forward, the Ballista and the crossbow car are about to reach the end. I think that when the artillery replaces the Ballista, my crossbow Grand-master will be useless and can no longer serve the family. "

So, Lorist understands how Grandmaster Fellin's mood is down. He gently patted Grandmaster Fellin on the shoulder, smiling and comforting, "Grandmaster Fellin, some things don't look like this. I classify these Ballista catapult as long-range attack weapons in cold weapons, and artillery these are hot weapons, two The difference is different. In terms of cold weapons, you are authentic Grand-master. Like your Ballista, I think already is the best, and there can be no more than you in cold weapons. As for the artillery, we are all in hot weapons I am a beginner, everyone is now a level. In the next research on firearms, I still need your skill to make some delicate parts, do n’t worry, the family has always been proud of having Grand-master like you ”

Cold weapon? Hot weapon? And firearms?

Grandmaster Sid is interested: "Lord(s), why are they classified like this, and what are the firearms? Are those artillery?"

Lorist explained: "Like the Ballista catapult, they mainly use steel plate's elasticity and tension to launch projectiles. It is because of their own abilities that I classify them as cold weapons.

The artillery uses the explosive force and impact force of the gunpowder to launch the projectile. Like the Bronze gun barrel, it acts as a pipeline that restrains the explosive force of the gunpowder and forms a supporting pipe in the gun tube against the target impact force. There is no ability to fire projectiles. So I call all long-range weapons that rely on the explosive power of gunpowder as firearms and classify them as hot weapons. Of course, my classification is very rough now, just to make a general distinction. "

Lorist instructed everyone to sit down at the table: "Everyone has seen the launch of these Bronze guns, but there are still many tests for these Bronze guns. I want some of you here to set up a firearm development team to complete Bronze The test standards of artillery have formulated a complete firing system for these artillery. For example, the Bronze artillery is equipped with a targeting device, and the approximate launch angle is estimated according to the distance of the target. This task can be completed in a short time as soon as possible.

The family is facing a very serious form. The Silowas Islands was hit by Forde Trade Union Chickadee Chamber of Commerce last time. Fortunately, a war between Trade Union and the Trimble Kingdom prevented our family Territory from being annexed. After you have completed the testing of these Bronze guns, Yulian Grand-master will immediately arrange for manual casting of a batch of Bronze guns of the same specification. I am going to equip these artillery guns to battleships. With gunboats, we can defend our family Territory and maritime interests from being violated. "

Lorist clapped his hands, Schwartz brought a box in, opened the box, and inside was the dwarf rifle.

"This is the famous dwarf gun. Its principle is similar to that of our Bronze gun. It also fires lead bullets with gunpowder. But due to Professor Bob, it now seems that their gunpowder is useless. By Bob The gunpowder developed by the professor is more powerful than dwarf for thousands of years, the ratio is more reasonable, and the cost is lower. This is all thanks to Professor Bob. "

Lorist first praised Professor Bob, and then instructed Schwartz to hang several drawings on the wall: "These are two types of firearms I designed based on the dwarf rifle. One is also a long-barreled rifle. It is a roulette pistol. I have marked all the parts and data on it, but these are only my speculative calculations, and they need to be modified according to the actual situation in the physical manufacturing. "

The two guns designed by Lorist this time are flint-fired smooth-bore rifles. Of course, the firing device is not as exaggerated as the dwarf with a flying dragon. The dwarf rifle is a clockwork. It is normal to have three or four dumb fires ten times. The Lorist designed flint rifle uses a mature firing device made of flint and steel, but he does not know if these Grand-master can be manufactured.

The short roulette is the revolver of the previous life. The biggest difficulty of this revolver designed by Lorist is the cartridge case, the fire cap, and the rifled barrel. For example, those magazines and bomber Lorist can confirm that these skilled craftsmen can make them by hand. Bullet shells and rifled barrels can also be done by Fei Sisi, but fire caps are not. However, Lorist intends to throw this problem to Professor Bobo went to study, he was not ready to have a headache.

Lorist divided these Grand-master professors into divisions. Professor Bob need not say much. He is responsible for researching the fire helmet and incidentally researching the flower bombs fired by Bronze artillery. Grandmaster Sid cooperates with Yulian Grand-master, responsible for the development of two kinds of gun barrels and the selection of gunmaking materials. In the spare time, we need to study how to improve the Bronze gun. As for Grandmaster Fellin, he is the most clever one. All the guns and firing devices are made by him.

After assigning the test of the Bronze gun and the development of two types of guns to these people, Lorist patted his **** and left the valley easily

On June 2nd, Lorist returned to Boulder Castle. The Speer supervisor who stayed at the castle quickly brought two large stacks of documents to Lorist. These were required to be signed by Lorist or must be reported to him. Lorist lamented and had to devote himself to these tedious transactions.

Schwartz knocked on the door and came in: "Lord(s), this is a letter just sent from Silowas Islands, and the first report sent back by Knight(s) from Morante City, and there is also information about Trade Union on the Trimble Kingdom The battle situation and Second Highness's report on the Redlis Kingdom. "

Lorist refreshed: "Show me."

Lunmood took three wives to Morante City in early April, and plans to set up a pediatric and gynecological Potion Master treatment center there as the center of intelligence gathering for Norton Family buried in Morante City. It seemed that he was very comfortable with this new appointment, and it was only two months before the first report was sent.

In the letter, Lemmer first talked about their arrival at Morante City and their resettlement, and then they reported on the war between Trade Union and the Trimble Kingdom. The second meditation war began again. However, this time there were nearly 100,000 troops from seven countries confronting 150,000 troops from Trade Union under Fayers King City in the Kingdom of Trimbo. The Morante daily said that it seemed that the war would not end before the treasury VII's vault was drained.

Then Second Highness encountered great troubles in the Redlis Kingdom battle. The Territory Aristocrat(s) of Redlis Kingdom Anderwoff Province were not intimidated by the hundreds of thousands of troops of Second Highness. They did not buy the account of Second Highness. Second Highness sent hundreds of thousands of troops to smash, and as a result, these Territory Aristocrat(s)s that depended on the location were defeated more, and they lost a few battles. There were even two corps of Redlis Kingdom soldiers that were contained and mutated on the spot. Fueled the momentum of those Territory Aristocrat(s). As a result, the army of 100,000 only ran back more than 40,000. It is said that Second Highness vomited blood.

Lorist smiled with laughter. The longer the two wars were delayed, the better the situation of the family. He wished that those people would fight for ten or eight years.

Drop down the report letter from Lenmaud and pick up the letter from Silowas Islands. Sure enough, Charade wrote a dozen or so thick animal skin papers. No major or minor matters were neglected. The report was extremely detailed.

First of all, the first batch of fur transactions with Peterson Chamber of Commerce has been completed. More than half a million gold fordess have been shipped back to the family Territory with this time's freighter shipping, and the remaining gold coin(s) and Peterson Chamber of Commerce shipped a million pounds of grain. All are stored in the Silowas Islands as a reserve for development.

Secondly, Charade and Peterson Chamber of Commerce reached an agreement. He also handed over seventeen sets of fine iron standard equipment samples and the atlas with dozens of gorgeous armors and equipment to Peterson Chamber of Commerce. Peterson Chamber of Commerce came forward to fight for orders. Of course, Peterson Chamber of Commerce did not do it for nothing. They demanded a 10% return and Charade already agreed. He stated in the letter that this is the best of both worlds. Peterson Chamber of Commerce will gain more orders to win more orders, while Norton Family can be hidden behind and will not become the target of others.

The following is the resource exploration situation of Silowas Islands. The eldest son of Grandmaster Sid, Drokova, brought people into the volcanic area of ​​Silowas Islands for exploration in April. This has been good news for more than a month. He currently found seven in the mountain already. Species of mineral resources, of which iron and silver reserves are large. It is believed that there will be more new discoveries in the whole mountain area after the exploration. Charade already decided to wait for those development projects to be completed before converting those migrant labor into miners for resource extraction.

Finally, Charade complained, and told Lorist this time that his father already went to Northern Land with the ship, ready to go to the newly-built harbor city to buy a house and open a store, let Lorist take care of it, etc.

After reading the letter Lorist, let Schwartz pack up and rush to the newly-built seaport city. Just to go to Bullhorn Bay shipyard to urge the completion of the latest sailing ship and arrange sailors to conduct Bronze artillery firing training.

Lorist was still too dark in June. Until the end of June, Schwartz carried in: "Lord(s), Lord(s), no good, Silowas Islands was attacked!"

To be continued.
