Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 346: Anomaly of Second Highness

Chapter 346 Second Highness Exceptions

Grandmaster Sid's so-called surprise did not surprise Lorist. He also refined a new type of steel, which he named Sid 303. Lorist found that Grandmaster Sid is also getting closer and closer to Grandmaster Ciroba, and it is customary to use its own name to name newly discovered things in order to be beautiful.

According to the introduction of Grandmaster Sid, the elasticity of this Sid 303 steel is the best among all steels at present, and it is most suitable for springs and bow arms of crossbows, and after testing, it is made of this steel Chariot Ballista can shoot farther, more vigorously, up to more than 400 meters and so on ...

Lorist found that Grandmaster Sid seemed to be looking forward to replacing all steel plate crossbow arms of Chariot Ballista with this newly invented spring steel, but Lorist rejected this suggestion. At present, the Chariot Ballista equipped by the family armed forces can dominate. Even if other forces get a few Chariot Ballistas, they cannot copy the steel plate crossbow arm on Ballista. The family does not need to spend a lot of money to update Chariot Ballista. But this spring steel is very good as a technical reserve.

Compared with the disappointment of Grandmaster Sid, Lorist is more concerned with the new high-temperature refining furnace for refining this spring steel. After two years of testing, Grandmaster Sid finally trial-produced refractory bricks and used them to make A refractory furnace capable of refining black iron ore by high-temperature furnace fire, and this spring steel is a new product of this high-temperature refining furnace. After the black iron was calcined into molten iron, Grandmaster Sid did countless tests and added various types of metals to master the material ratio of this spring steel. To be correct, this should be an alloy steel.

But Lorist does not understand steelmaking and ironmaking technology, and is not very interested in the various matters needing attention during the steelmaking process described in Grandmaster Sid. The only thing that made him regret is that there is no coal and oil in the world of Grindia. I do n’t know whether the forest wood resources are too rich or these two types of energy ore are not found. Grindia people use wood and charcoal for forging. Add fire crystal powder. However, although the fire crystal powder can increase the high temperature, it cannot last. This should also be the main reason why Grindia Continent is difficult to climb the technology tree.

"Grandmaster Sid, I would like to ask one thing. Is the cross Ballista used by the light cavalry you made a few years ago improved or reduced the manufacturing cost?" Lorist asked.

Grandmaster Sid had an awkward expression on his face, and hesitated for a while before answering: "Sorry, Your Highness, because the manufacturing cost of the Cross Ballista is too high and the process is cumbersome. After the order you placed was cancelled by the family, I Grandmaster Fellin did not continue to study. I was busy building a high temperature refractory refining furnace to test new steel, and Grandmaster Fellin was delayed by a batch of 20,000 longbow orders issued by the family. We were all too busy to start ... "

It takes two years to make the standard longbow. All the wood that makes the longbow needs to be soaked and dried in several processes, which is very troublesome. Lorist remembers that this longbow list is prepared for the Longbowmen of the Guard Battalion, but he also understands the idea that Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin are unwilling to invest in cross Ballista to improve. After all, in previous years Grandmaster Sid and Grandmaster Fellin already worked a lot on Cross Ballista, and there was no way to improve it before it appeared.

"I remember Grandmaster Sid. You said that the cost of this cross Ballista is the biggest. Is the steel of the crossbow arm? The elasticity of the steel is so unstable that only a small number of qualified products can be selected for the crossbow arm. And because it is not a large piece like the Chariot Ballista crossbow arm, but a crossbow used by a single person, there will be a lot of waste when forging such a small crossbow arm, which makes the manufacturing cost of the Cross Ballista high. So? "Asked Lorist.

"Yes, Your Highness." Grandmaster Sid nodded and acknowledged: "At that time, the steelmaking furnaces were extremely unstable, and the properties of the steel extracted from each furnace were different, even if the materials used were the same. This is the same situation. Besides, these elastic steels cannot be obtained through continuous forging. Like fine iron, we can forge into steel, but these steels will lose their elasticity after being forged for a long time, so they are suitable for the manufacture of cross Ballista. Crossbow arm steel is very difficult to refine, which makes the manufacturing cost expensive. Only when we refine ten furnaces can we get one or two furnaces of qualified elastic steel ... "

Lorist nodded: "Since it is for this reason, now that this new spring steel is available, why haven't you thought of using Grandmaster Sid on the cross Ballista? The formula of this Sid three and three steel already It ’s fixed, the quality is stable, and the output is also large, so I think it can greatly reduce the cost of the cross Ballista. "

Grandmaster Sid was embarrassed, and then ecstatic: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this, Guangjiu remembered Chariot Ballista, but forgot that the family has been looking for a long-range personal weapon that can replace the longbow. Your Highness, I will go Find Grandmaster Fellin, and improve Cross Ballista again ... "

"Wait, Grandmaster Sid, there is one more thing." Lorist stopped Grandmaster Sid, who was preparing to run. "You and Grandmaster Fellin to discuss, the elasticity of this steel is really as outstanding as you said, you try Let's see if we can forge the appearance of riding a bow, can shoot right away, and compare the performance with the long bow. The family Hunting Cavalry Legion already is reorganized, and we need a weapon that can be launched on the horse and not inferior to the long bow. "

"Her Royal Highness, I understand that we will try to make the weapons that the family needs as soon as possible, and we will never hesitate to serve the family!" Grandmaster Sid became feverish.

Looking at the background of Grandmaster Sid, Lorist patted his forehead with a headache. Speaking of awful words, now he is very doubtful whether the family's technology tree has been distorted. Lorist's ideal single-armed long-range weapon rifle has been unwilling to study. Grandmaster Sid they go further and further on the evil path of the crossbow. Even the steels studied and refined are all elastic steels suitable for forging Ballista, and they refuse to spend energy to study muskets ...

Norton Family's Chariot Ballista already is now at the forefront of long-range weapons, and it is sharp. This is indeed their contribution to Grandmaster Sid, but now they have drilled into the tip of the horns of already and are studying how to improve the crossbow to make it shoot farther and more fiercely. Although Lorist provided the drawing of the musket and the structural drawing of the parts, none of these Grand-master seemed to have delved into it. Maybe Lorist should consider whether to re-establish a research center to develop muskets, but this candidate is difficult to find ...

After leaving the Black Iron Refinery, the last thing Lorist inspected was Ironforge, which is a weapon production center set by the family at Blade Edge Mountain Range. Like Grandmaster Sid, weapons and armors are forged and transported here, and then polished and inlaid to make it the standard equipment used by the family armed forces. This is a large-scale armament production base of 3,000 people. It is responsible for providing arms for the family armed forces, as well as producing and assembling equipment to provide family allies and arms for export.

Ironforge ’s responsible supervisor Camora Baron has been waiting here. At present, Ironforge ’s most important armament task is to produce 60,000 sets of light riding helmets needed for Hunting Cavalry Legion remodeling. This batch of light riding helmets is the latest design of Grandmaster Sid. After adopting the suggestions mentioned in Hunting Cavalry Legion soldier(s), Grandmaster Sid has redesigned and improved many places. At the same time, according to the order of Lorist, the original black was dyed gray-black.

Camora Baron was responsible for the logistics and support of the entire war period during the Iberia Kingdom Raiders warfare carried out last year. He fulfilled his mission very well and was specially praised by Lorist. Although the war is now over, because Windbury Province and the southern province are building a large number of various types of armament defense facilities, the mission of Camora Baron logistics director has not ended, but it is not very tense. Camora Baron appointed a deputy to host Windbury King City, and then he ran back to Ironforge to meet the inspection of Lorist.

It is August 7th to return to Boulder Castle already after the inspection from Ironforge. Lorist went to Houshan practice(d) field and watched Schwartz. Then he returned to the study and found that Charade was sitting on the sofa with a large stack of documents waiting for him. The more important thing this time is about the reorganized North Sea Fleet and the re-established Hunting Cavalry Legion military budget, and a letter from City of Roaring Bear, which was written by Princess Sylvia to Lorist. She said she liked the Lorist gift to her The scenery of Cherry Blossom Mountain Range Manor, because there are several places that need to be rectified, she will have to return to Boulder Castle in a few days.

"Did you post all the stickers?" Lorist asked while reviewing the documents.

In Grindia, the Aristocrat(s) wedding is basically sending invitations to friends and relatives six months in advance. Especially as Lorist is Northern Land Grand Duke(s) and Norton, his big marriage must not only notify all the family members Lord(s), but even all Aristocrat(s) Aristocratic Family of Andinak Kingdom. This is not a matter of closeness or unfamiliarity, but a face of Aristocrat(s). Fortunately, in the past few years, Second Highness has almost cleaned the entire Aristocrat(s) class of Andinak Kingdom, and the rest of Aristocrat(s) is very few, so Lorist does not need to deal with those Aristocrat(s) who are not familiar with it at all, which he is very satisfied with.

We are going to have a wedding with Princess Sylvia in November. It is very hasty to send a messenger to send the invitation already at the end of June and early July. In Grindia Continent, there are deep Aristocrat(s) Aristocratic Family marriages, and often guests need to be notified one year in advance. This is because the mainland is too long and far away. Second, those guests also need time to prepare gifts for newly-married husband and wife. However, Lorist is not so troublesome, Norton Family's forces are only in the former Krissen's Empire East Northern Land area, no matter how far away, it is also the Aristocrat(s) of Andinak Kingdom.

"Basically delivered. But only a handful of Aristocrat(s)s from Kingdom Imperial Capital said they would come to congratulate themselves. Basically, those Aristocrat(s)s who were newly promoted by Second Highness were evaded from official duties and could not be present, but said they would A gift was sent to congratulate Her Royal Highness on her wedding. "Charade replied.

"What does Second Highness mean?"

"This is the strangest place I am." Charade frowned and said, "Our messenger did not see our King. He said that the invitation was received by the director of the palace, and then he was ordered to stay at the station. The museum is waiting for the news. In the evening, the director sent a letter saying that His Majesty King was busy and could not attend the wedding ceremony of Northern Land Grand Duke(s), but he would send an ambassador to represent him. I was surprised when the courier returned. What is the idea of ​​this Second Highness? Even your big wedding is not coming, and the situation in the kingdom is very calm. He seems to be hiding, and even our messengers are not called, this already is very rude It's ... "

Lorist put down the documents in hand: "I do n’t know if you heard about it or not. Forde Trade Union and the Central and South Kingdom Coalition started a war. Because Lemmer was forced to the front, so the specific situation needs to be overdone. Time can come back. But I am puzzled that such news Second Highness should know, but why Imperial Capital is calm as before, without any abnormalities? According to the truth, our King should be robbed in the fire, his ambition is Before unifying the layout of Empire, now Trade Union occupies several provinces of Empire, but Second Highness has missed such a good time, I feel very strange.

"Hmm ... I haven't heard that it has nothing to do with our family anyway." Charade shook his head: "After all, our family is too far away from Trade Union. The news delay is normal, but the two Legion of Second Highness are at the border and Trade Union. He and his affiliated forces are stalemate. He should have known the news long ago. According to you, this is indeed a good time for hands-on, but Second Highness is not moving. This is not normal. Hey, do you think Second Highness is not here? Imperial Capital, so not even the messenger we sent to send invitations ... "

As soon as Lorist, Charade's wild thoughts seem to have opened up a new idea for him, pulled down the bell, and Gennario came in from outside the study.

"Gennario, immediately send someone to find Tarkel." Lorist ordered.

Tarkel soon appeared in front of Lorist.

"Tarkel, you immediately send a letter to Eagle to inquire about all the intelligence investigators deployed in Imperial Capital, order them to find out how many days our Majesty King His Majesty already has not appeared in front of others? At present the administrative and armament affairs of the Kingdom are Who is in charge? Has anything unusual happened to the palace? "

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it right away."

Three days later, Tarkel appeared in front of Lorist.

"His Royal Highness, this is a report sent back by Imperial Capital intelligence investigators. They said that Her Majesty King has not appeared in front of outsiders for nearly already for more than a year. According to the servants and maids in the palace, they have not seen each other for a long time. His Majesty King. However, it is confirmed that His Majesty King has been staying in the innermost area of ​​the palace. He has the most loyal 1,000 Imperial Guard guards around him, and idlers are free of entry. There are rumors that His Majesty King got a strange disease and stayed in the country. The three ministers of the Kingdom and the Kingdom can still go in to see him, and the signatures on some documents are under the handwriting of His Majesty King. The style of handling affairs is still the same as he used to be, so the situation in the Kingdom is still stable and people forget how long I haven't seen him in time ... "

"Strange disease?" Lorist touched his chin: "No, what strange disease can make Battle Qi cultivation Second Highness of 3 Star Gold fall, this is impossible. Will it be assassinated or some strange poison?" "

Tarkel thought for a while and answered: "His Royal Highness, I'm not likely to be assassinated, otherwise Imperial Capital will be in chaos long ago. Poisoning is not an elephant. If it is really poisoned, the palace will invite many Potion Masters, just like him The father and the three princes were assassinated and poisoned, and the entire Imperial Capital Potion Master was invited to the palace. However, there is a situation that needs to be noted. It is His Highness's cousin, Grisia seems to have lost the trust of His Majesty King and was dismissed from Imperial Guard Commanding position, currently living at home ... "

"Oh?" ​​Lorist frowned: "Is this true?"

"It's true, but Grisia Young Lady seems unwilling to explain to us why. But she said that she would bring the whole family to Northern Land to attend the wedding before Her Royal Highness wedding." Tarkel replied.

Lorist turns around with two heads down, which is a bit weird, but it is certain that Second Highness has been in the palace for some reason. Forget it, you don't need to worry about him first, there will always be a day when the water comes out, and you will naturally know what Second Highness is doing.

"Let ’s do this first, let people keep an eye on the palace. If there is any abnormal situation over Imperial Capital, report it immediately." Lorist said.

"Yes, Your Highness."
