Release that Witch Chapter 174: Industrial park
Two days after Ash left, Macy unexpectedly returned to Border Town and appeared again in front of everyone.
After asking why, her return was warmly welcomed, and Witch Union added a new member.
What impressed her most was that the welcome banquet was held in the back garden of the castle. The long iron shelves were full of various meats, which can be taken off and grilled at will. The seasoning is also very rich. There are salt, oil, minced pepper, pepper, and barbecue sauce prepared by Roland. Stew the soup with the mushrooms produced by Hidden Forest and the whole chicken. Stir with joining salt, sugar and wheat flour to make up for the lack of MSG. Sorry. Macy almost supported the stomach before stopping.
Roland tested her ability in the afternoon.
According to Nightingale, her total magic power is at a medium level in witch, and her ability to change into various birds is based on the premise that she has seen it. The magic power consumes a lot when changing, and it can continuously change 4-5 times a day. It consumes very little magic power to maintain the deformed state. It belongs to the Summon type capability and is affected by God Punishment Stone. The favorite bird is a pigeon, but Roland notices that no matter what kind of bird she becomes, her body will be quite large. For example, in his opinion, the sparrow is about the same size as an ordinary pigeon. As for becoming a pigeon, it is almost the size of sea eagle.
Macy can't be transformed into a fantasy flying beast type, such as the phoenix, griffon and Kunpeng drawn by Roland, which makes him quite regrettable.
In addition, there is another point in Ash's plan that deserves his attention, that is, what are the capabilities of the many witches convened by Tilly? If there is a support witch that can greatly improve farming efficiency, he does not mind exchanging them with technology.
To this end, Roland decided to write a long letter to Tilly, first explaining the natural alliance between the two sides, and then warning her Church's intention to unify the continent, and finally handed out an olive branch, expressing the desire for mutual cooperation and common progress Will. When Macy heads to the fjord next month, let her drop by.
The next day, the prince welcomes another good news.
Finally, the factory building for the production of steam engine has been completed. The factory building is located on the opposite bank of Scarlet Water River, close to the west, next to experimental field of Leaf. The entire site has been fenced by a wooden fence, and a simple road leading to the floating bridge side has been leveled. In the planning of Roland, this place will be an industrial park after small town.
Since the construction space should be enlarged as much as possible, the factory building is constructed of lighter weight wood and covers an area of about 1,000 square meters. machine tool manufactured by Anna has shipped come in, which are two steam boring machines, two manual milling machines, and one manual Grinders and a manual lathe. Although the principle of these machine tool is simple, the workmanship is first-class. Except for the base or the pedal, the parts are made of wood. The other parts are cut from wrought iron or steel. It can be said that it is achieved at the level of existing materials. Highest precision machining.
At present, there are only a dozen or so poor workers in the workshop. They were originally blacksmiths and apprentices in the small town blacksmith shop. Now they are recruited by Roland at a high salary of 50 silver royal per month to learn how to operate high-end machine tool. And their iron tools and smithy have also been moved to a brick house outside the factory building. In addition to creating some parts that are not important, the production of steam engine will be completed by machine tool.
Roland held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the entrance of the plant. In order to strengthen the momentum, he invited a City Hall official and gave a short speech. In the salute sound of Echo simulation, Greycastle Industrial Company was officially announced.
In the next few days, Roland, who is the company's manager, ran into the plant as soon as he was free to demonstrate the operation method of machine tool and the manufacturing process of steam engine. In order for an inexperienced blacksmith to master how to process and assemble an steam engine, the best way he can think of is to explain the flow chart, similar to the model's assembly instructions, marking the part name, number, and size one by one, and then ordering their installation And the connection method is depicted in the form of a diagram. In this regard, Soraya helped him a lot.
In the first few days of production, as he expected, almost no parts met the requirements, let alone to build a complete steam engine. However, Roland does not care about the reject rate. In the hands of Anna, these defective products can be recast into new plates in the blink of an eye. He believes that after repeated training, it is sooner or later that these blacksmiths master the production methods of the new era.
In addition to the industrial plant, the prince transformed the Northern Slope Mining area firing room together with the backyard into a military factory, which is mainly used for the production of revolving rifle and bullets. The furnace expert Lowes recommended by Karl arrived in Border Town. A new batch of air bag was installed The temperature has been greatly increased, and the cement powder can be fired independently. There is no need for a firing room.
However, the production of revolver support and bullets is still completed by Anna. Roland is designing a steam punch for punching bullets. Although the efficiency is not as good as Anna cutting and forming, it can at least reduce her. Burden.
In order to thank Anna for his busy work for nearly half a month, he decided to give her a gift.
*******************
"Gift?" Anna put down the cut parts in his hands and slid hair to his forehead, showing a bright smile, "Okay."
"Don't you ask any gifts?" Roland teased her.
"Yeah ..." She thought about it for a moment, "I like all the gifts you give."
After more than half a year's recuperation, Anna can't find a trace of her first sight in the dungeon. She is thin and fragile now, with blue eyes full of vitality, and a plain dress looks refreshing. There is youthful vitality all over the body.
This is what an 18-year-old girl should look like.
Roland's mood became a lot more pleasing when he saw the corners of his mouth rising.
The gift is placed in the castle courtyard. In order to surprise Anna, it was covered with a layer of linen. When making Ashbringer, he had this idea in his mind. Since it is a prince, of course, the gift must also be special. The finished product such as jewelry seems too insincere. He thought about this idea for a long time.
Roland opened the linen, and a rattan basket appeared in front of the two of them. The top of the basket was connected with many hemp ropes, and the other end was a huge canvas.
"What is ...?" Anna stepped forward and walked around it, curious.
"Hot air balloon." He smiled answer and said, "Can take you to the sky, overlooking the earth like a bird."
"Flying to heaven?" She turned back, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Is it really possible?"
Hovering the sky is a human dream since ancient times. From gliding to hot air balloons, airships to airplanes, people have made huge sacrifices in exploration and challenge, and have never given up on this pursuit. Although witch exists in this world, flying is still the right of a few people. The scenery seen from a high-altitude perspective will inevitably leave a deep impression.
"Of course, just let the hot air fill this air bag then it will be alright."
Roland asked Nightingale to find Lightning and Macy as emergency personnel. In the event of an accident, Lightning and Macy which became a large sea eagle can at least protect them from landing. As for the other witchs, he decided not to call them for the time being, especially Wendy and Scroll. He would definitely oppose any of his risky behaviors. In the eyes of the two of them, he must not have made any mistakes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation.
