Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 218: Grandmaster Sid

Chapter 218 Grandmaster Sid

It's hard to say, but the problem is that there is no way to retaliate against whales on Whale Island, and at least whaling boats are needed to retaliate. Lorist has been to Relic Islands, and the native(s) over there are the whaling Expert, but they are driving a canoe, like a wolf pack round bison, attacking with a spear impregnated with paralytic venom to attack the whale After that, I pulled it directly to the beach and cut it raw ...

Lorist could not call the sailors to learn from native(s) of Relic Islands. Now he needs a large whaling ship, so he went to the shipyard again, gathered all the craftsman leaders, and began to discuss how to build a whaling ship. .

The three training ships originally built were only twenty-four meters long, and the sailor who reported that the giant whale that crushed the first training ship was more than thirty meters long, so the one to be built Whalers must be at least twice as large as whales to compete with giant whales. Lorist hit the idea on the sail cruiser of already's own design with the keel laid.

This sail cruiser designed by Lorist is 75 meters long. Unlike previous lives, there are many huge trees in the Black Forest. It is easy to find suitable wood instead of making keels by splicing. This Add a lot of convenience to the construction.

Since this sail cruiser is to be converted into a whaler, the watertight tank must be doubled to prevent it from being hit by a whale and sinking. A craftsman made a proposal to cover the outside of the ship The thickness of the ship's board is 20 cm. The two boards are connected by long copper nails. Although the ship's speed was slowed and its weight increased, the ship's hull was stronger and less likely to break. Lorist was glad to adopt this opinion and rewarded this craftsman with ten gold fordess.

The plan to change the cruiser to a whaling ship was quickly finalized under the heavy reward of Lorist. But another urgent problem needs to be solved in front of Lorist, that is, already is now in November, and the winter is approaching. In the days of heavy snow, it is impossible to continue to build ships.

Lorist wants to build a huge wooden house. The boat can be built inside the house. However, there is no way to draw the drawings. Such a huge house cannot be built with the current construction level and conditions. At this time, Barrek Father came up with a way, that is, under the cliff behind the open space where the shipyard piled up the timber. There is a huge cave, if you expand the hole. Then the hull can be built inside the karst cave. When the spring hull is pulled out in the spring, the mast can be erected and other later work can be completed in one month.

Lorist personally inspected the cave and found it was very spacious. Immediately decided to adopt the recommendation of Barrek Father. The hull of a whaling ship was built in this cave in four months in winter, not one, but two at the same time. . And tell Barrek Father. Manpower is not a problem. I believe that those leaders who have nothing to do in the winter at home will be happy to work to earn some money in the winter, and the family will pay as much as needed, as long as the quality and speed are guaranteed.

After leaving the shipyard, Lorist took the Imperial Guard battalion and rushed to Blade Edge Mountain Range. This time he was going to the black iron refining base in charge of Grandmaster Sid.

What do you say? To be good at work, you must first sharpen your tools. Although Ballista on Chariot is more than enough to deal with whales, after all, the skin of a whale is not as tough as the fur of magical beast, but the whale's shape is huge. The bolt of Chariot Ballista does appear short. And Lorist is not ready to shoot and kill the whale. The whale is full of treasure, the flesh of the whale, the skin of the whale. Whale oil made from whale fat is the best baby. Even the ribs of a whale are the best materials for making umbrella umbrellas.

If the super Ballista is installed on the ship, I am afraid that while the whale is killed in one shot, the whaling ship cannot bear the strong vibration and crack. So Lorist went to design a crossbow gun mounted on a whaling ship this time, with a few hundred meters of cable, bolt is harpoon-shaped. After shooting the whale, the whale carcass can be dragged with a cable connected to harpoon-shaped bolt Come back to the dock to split ...

Grandmaster Sid thought that Lorist was for the 100,000 sets of standard equipment ordered by Fisablen Family. He photographed his chest and asked Lorist to rest assured that it would be no problem to build 8,000 sets of fine iron armor pieces a month. He is only responsible for providing armor pieces of those standard armors, and then transporting the armor pieces to the weapon production base. The workers assembled the armor pieces on top of leather armor, and became a set of standard equipment.

Then Grandmaster Sid took Lorist to see his latest results. That is, Lorist entrusted him to improve the trebuchet last time, and was surprised at the place Lorist. The design drawing of the pair of trebuchets that he originally designed should actually be a return shot, that is, a lever-type trebuchet, which is huge and cumbersome. What appeared to him now was a six-wheel catapult, but the torsion noose of the sling brake was changed to a wire spring.

Lorist originally wanted to design the catapult of the torsion noose, but he really could n’t remember how the torsion noose made of animal tendons and hair was entangled in order to launch the trebuchet, so he reluctantly chose the lever type trebuchet. . I did not expect that Grandmaster Sid gave him a surprise. Instead of torsion noose with wire springs, catapult was also produced.

"Grandmaster Sid, how did you come up with catapult using wire springs?" Lorist is ashamed. The previous life was a society with a fast-developing industrial science, but I did n’t expect to solve the problem in such a simple way. He racked his brains to recall the details of the ancient Roman-era twisted noose catapult that he saw on TV. It really lost his face.

Grandmaster Sid is proud, touching his goatee humblely, "Lord(s), this is an accidental read;"

Pointing to the row of hydraulic forging machines below the waterfall on the valley side, Grandmaster Sid recalled: "Resetting the largest hydraulic forging press has always been a big problem. We always use u-shaped steel plate springs to make it. Reset, but the loss of this steel plate spring is very large. There was a time when the steel plate spring could not be connected, the original already was no longer elastic, and the gap was too large, so we simply twisted it and put it in. Unexpectedly, it resumed its function, and the use time was several times longer than the original card spring.

Lord(s) commissioned me to improve the trebuchet. I thought of this kind of circlip in the middle torsion coil, so I did an experiment, and found that this kind of circlip made of steel wire works best. But now I think Lord(s) is more appropriate to call this kind of wire spring. It will be called a wire spring. "

"Lord(s), look here ..." Grandmaster Sid refers to a fan-shaped metal plate affixed to the catapult car wall. Five lines are engraved on it, and a few lines are written: "This is the slinging distance we have obtained from the experiment. The top straight line indicates that the slinging distance is 100 meters if the slinging rod is equal to this line. The straight line indicates that the longest distance for throwing stones is about 500 meters, but this requires our special round stone bombs. Throwing irregularly shaped stones will affect the range ...

Lord(s) You see, this catapult uses a steel-wood structure, which is solid and reliable, although the body below needs six wheels. But this is because of the stability needed for trebuchet launch, which had to increase the chassis weight of the car. The speed of catapult is a little slower, but it is smart and convenient. It can be ready to throw and launch at any time, whether it is marching or stationing, especially it only needs three people to control.

One person builds a vehicle, one person carries a stone bomb, and one person fires. Lord(s), you see, this iron wheel just rotates after throwing a stone, put the stone throwing pole on the metal plate and prepare to throw a straight line at a distance equal to the distance. Then let people put the stone bullet into the iron pocket on the head of the slinger, and finally pull the joystick next to the iron wheel, and the stone bullet was thrown out. "

"Grandmaster Sid. You really surprised me. You are a genius mechanical designer. So can this trebuchet be finalized for mass production?" Lorist asked.

"Lord(s), I think this catapult has two shortcomings. One is that the maximum throwing weight is only 50 pounds. The other is that the durability of the wire spring is not satisfactory. Generally, it has to be replaced after nearly a hundred throws. .I have tried many ways to increase the strength of this wire spring, but none have succeeded. "Grandmaster Sid voluntarily stated the shortcomings of catapult.

"No, Grandmaster Sid, you did a good job. The durability of the wire spring is a matter of material, and it has nothing to do with your design. As for the maximum throw weight of 50 pounds already is very good. Because it is heavy It will even affect the flexibility and speed of the catapult. If these two shortcomings are not a big deal, you will first mass-produce 300 catapults. I plan to set up a catapult camp. "Lorist said.

"As you originally said, Lord(s). I will arrange for manual production as soon as possible. But Lord(s), aren't you ready to see the improvement of the trebuchet you designed?" Grandmaster Sid said.

"Oh, did you even rebuild my plane?" Lorist was curious, I wonder what Grandmaster Sid would improve that leveraged trebuchet.

Grandmaster Sid took Lorist to a four-wheel carriage . This carriage was full of stuff and covered with a large rain-proof oil cloth. Grandmaster Sid called five people and instructed them to pull the carriage to the open space next to it and assemble the contents of the car.

After the tarpaulin on the carriage was lifted, there were strips of square wood and steel parts exposed. Lorist understands that this is an assembled trebuchet. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a five-meter-high lever-type trebuchet appeared in front of Lorist.

"Lord(s), the only disadvantage of this trebuchet you designed is that it takes time to assemble, and the operator must be trained to assemble it in a short time as soon as possible. However, its advantages are also obvious, the maximum throwing weight It can reach one hundred and fifty pounds, and the longest distance can reach more than six hundred meters. So I designed this trebuchet to be assembled, so that even if it needs to be moved, it can be quickly disassembled, transferred to carriage and traveled to other Somewhere, "Grandmaster Sid introduced.

"Yes, you did very well and designed very cleverly. With the catapult you designed with Grand-master and this type of assembled trebuchet, I believe that there will be no strong fortresses that can stop the pace of our family armed forces. "" Lorist praised.

"So, Grandmaster Sid, this assembled trebuchet also made ten for me. I'm going to build a battalion with two hundred catapult and ten trebuchets. It's called the Perak camp. Reads; Write a report on the production costs of catapult and trebuchet to me, and I will approve the funds immediately. "

"Thank you Lord(s)." Grandmaster Sid said.

The Schwartz following the record with Lorist reminded: "Lord(s), is there someone in charge of the Perak camp that you are going to form? Is this camp to be classified as top secret?"

Lorist has an answer after thinking about it: "Schwartz, record the order, transfer the leader of the Boulder Castle Guards Battalion Orville Keith to the leader of the new Perak Camp, and order him to transfer half of the tried-and-tested family soldier(s) from the Guards Battalion to join Perak battalion, missing staff are replenished from veterans of other units.

Order two, the family Knight(s) Paul Bins was promoted to head of the Boulder Castle guard battalion, and the battalion was supplemented by the recruit barracks. In addition, this Perak camp does not need to be classified as a top secret, it can be classified. "

"Yes, Lord(s)." Schwartz records the order and signs it for Lorist signing and stamping, then inserts it into a silver tube and sends it to Imperial Guard.

"Yes, Grandmaster Sid, I'm looking for you this time for another thing." Lorist pulled Grandmaster Sid ready to leave: "Family sailing barracks were attacked by whales during offshore training and turned over two The training boat suffered heavy losses. I am going to pack up these whales, and the shipyard already is building a large whaling ship, but I also need a large crossbow to deal with whales ... "

"Large crossbow? Lord(s), you should go to Grandmaster Fellin ..." Grandmaster Sid was wondering. The person in charge of the crossbow workshop, Grandmaster Fellin, is the professional Grand-master who manufactures the crossbow.

"Grandmaster Fellin, haha, he can't." Lorist shook his head: "Grandmaster Fellin is indeed specialized in making crossbow bows, but he is habitually step by step. There is no innovative concept in his mind and he keeps his footsteps. So such an important thing I can't entrust him, and the time is very tight. I have to finalize the model after the spring of next year. I think you can be more sure of delivering it to Grand-master.

Lorist's compliment makes Grandmaster Sid feel very comfortable. He smiled and said, "Since Lord(s) looks at me like this, I will try it, but I hope that Lord(s) will enable Grandmaster Fellin to cooperate with my research. It ’s convenient for him to answer questions ... ”

"Okay ..." Lorist agreed, turned his head and commanded: "Schwartz, go to the crossbow workshop over there to invite Grandmaster Fellin here, then take a few Imperial Guard to the crossbow workshop and leave the spare Chariot Ballista and The super Ballista here moved over ... "

"Yes, Lord(s)."

Grandmaster Sid is most interested in super Ballista. I even want to test it myself once. It scared Lorist and Grandmaster Fellin into a cold sweat. A strong family soldier(s) had to rest for an hour after shooting. Grandmaster Sid this old arm and old leg, go up The test shot must be killed on the spot. It wasn't until Lorist ordered a Imperial Guard to shoot an arrow that Grandmaster Sid understood that this thing was not so good for a test shot.

"Lord(s), can you talk about the detailed requirements of the large crossbow you want?" Grandmaster Sid asked.

Lorist picked up a pen and paper and drew an bolt first. Anyone who saw the bolt pattern next to him took a breath of air, without him, this bolt looked cruel and sharp. The three-meter-long bolt has an arrow of half a meter, the triangular pyramid has a blood groove sunken in three sides, there is a triangular barb behind the arrow, and a ring behind the arrow. This is used to tie the cable. The entire bolt is made of fine iron.

"The large crossbow I want is to launch this bolt to deal with whales. It must be larger than Chariot Ballista to launch such a long bolt. But it cannot be as big as Super Ballista and the shooting vibration is so strong that it is on board .The distance of the crossbow direct shot is between 100 meters and 150 meters. It is required to ensure that the arrow part can submerge into the fish body, and it will not deviate when flying with a cable, so the firing force must be strong ... ... "

Grandmaster Sid looked at the request made by Lorist on the paper and pondered for a long time: "Okay, Lord(s), I know it. I try to get this crossbow for Lord(s) within three months."

"Okay, let this matter to Grandmaster Sid."
