Release that Witch Chapter 27: Past
The weather is getting colder every day, and Roland gets up later every day.
As a ruling class, he certainly has the right to sleep. Especially the big bed with three layers of velvet blanket, the whole person will be trapped in the soft surrounding when lying down, which further promotes his feelings of lying in bed.
When Roland walked into the office after washing, Nightingale was already waiting for him there.
“Well, I ate half of your breakfast while it’s hot, and it’s cold now,” she said to the table with half the bread missing, as if she were the owner of the place.
“No one has taught you, should you be humble in front of the prince?” Roland reached out the plate and sat back at the desk. “Remember you were very polite at first.”
He sighed at bottom of heart. I didn’t see that this guy was actually a acquaintance. He didn’t accompany Anna, so he came to hang out by himself. She used to hide her body. Now, as long as no outsider is present, she is dangling in the office generously, not even wearing Hood.
“Like this?” She jumped off the table and bowed to an impeccable noble ceremony. “You have been getting late late, I think breakfast is also left, so I can help you solve it. One point. Her Royal Highness, “she came to Roland,” you don’t care anyway, right? And you don’t like the complicated manners, I can see it. “
Do you guys have sky eyes, Roland‘s belly is defamatory, can this also be seen?
He sighed, “It’s up to you, but after you have breakfast, eat it up. I’ll order another one if I want to.”
“As you bid, Your Highness!” She smiled slightly, and took the dinner plate and ran to the side.
Roland rolls out a blank piece of parchment paper, ready to complete half of the design drawings drawn yesterday.
If you want to defend Border Town, the battle after winter is not a terrible victory. Although an army that has not seen blood is not a qualified army, Roland is worried that if there is a large loss, this group of short-term trainees will not have the courage to stand on the wall.
He needs weapon across the ages to gain an absolute advantage over Evil Beast’s.
There is no doubt that it is firearms.
In fact, this era already has all the conditions for the emergence of firearms. alchemist is often equipped with something called snow powder, which is used for courtesy in court celebrations. This thing is the wrong formula gunpowder, the burning speed is slow, most of them can only hear a sound when put into the copper tube.
About another 100 years, the prototype of firearms — Arquebus will appear. Due to the tedious operation of this firearm, two people need to cooperate to complete the filling and shooting action. Generally, situation can only be used as a single shot weapon. And its rate of fire and power is not as good as a trained archer.
Roland is certainly not interested in repeating history. Like steam engine, he can fully use the capabilities of witch to create firearms with practical value.
“I read the order on the table when you weren’t here,” Nightingale swallowed the last piece of bread, and asked casually, “what do you plan to buy so many icebergs? Now it’s winter, and I want to drink cold ale Directly in the house manifestation will not be then it will be alright for one night? “
The upper layer noble likes to use ice mango — or saltpeter to make ice in the summer, and then cool it with milk, wine or fruit juice. Thanks to the season’s blessing, it is now very cheap to acquire saltpeter.
“Cooking frozen cheese, the temperature is not low enough to freeze,” said Roland Huyou.
Although the woman in front of her is not an enemy, she does not know anything like Anna. Unlike steam engine, firearms does not have many technical barriers. Once it spreads, it is obviously not good for its own farming plan. Before she can figure out her details, it is better to hide something first. Thinking of this, he asked tentatively, “In addition to looking for Holy Mountain, is Witch Cooperation Association responsible for training killers?”
“No, they are just a group of poor people who have come together for their dreams,” Nightingale waved his hand, “I have helped joining only for the past two years.”
“In other words, did you work for others before?” Her beautiful throwing skills ca n’t be thrown without guidance and years of hard work. Roland is very sure of this, “Besides me, Is anyone else willing to accept witch? “
“Retain?” The look of Nightingale became a little strange. “How could it be … if I knew I would become witch, he wouldn’t let me in. As for later, if it wasn’t for me, I’m afraid it would have been executed secretly. “
“Oh? Can you tell me?”
Nightingale smiled and shook his head, but this time there were more unexplained emotions in his smile, “Hi Royal Highness, I will tell you when the time is right. I know what you are worried about, please rest assured, I was free five years ago and I no longer need to work for anyone. “
Negotiation check failed. It seems that her charm attribute is not high … but her answer also confirmed her idea from the side. — At least five years ago, she did something unseen for someone. . Fortunately, his use of Nightingale seems to stem from an accident, not like himself, and intends to recruit witch on a large scale.
Roland did not ask any more, and continued to draw his own drawings.
To his slight surprise, the Nightingale, which always loves to move forward, has become quiet at this moment, and there is only the sound of a burning fire in the room. By the time Roland raised head moved her sore neck, she had disappeared from the office.
“You won’t say hello,” he muttered, folding the parchment in his hand and putting it in a closet pocket.
I was busy for a few days. With this blueprint, the design of weapon — or the re-engraving was all completed.
What he intends to make is the famous flintlock. This kind of weapon has been tested by history for a long time, and its production difficulty is similar to that of a rifle. The rear loading is gunpowder, and the front loading is a lead shot. The rate of fire is close to three rounds per minute.
Most animals do not climb walls, so the shooting distance is approximately equal to the height from the top of the city wall to the ground, which is twelve feet. Within this distance, even if you aim with your feet, you will not lose the target, and the muzzle velocity of the bullet is almost not reduced. As long as the Evil Beast has not evolved a harder skin than steel, it can basically die.
The disadvantage of a flintlock is the time it takes to make it. At the beginning, it was like a rapier gun, which was knocked out by a craftsman with a hammer and a hammer. From the barrel to the trigger, the entire gun production took about three months. Among them, the barrel is a large head, and the iron piece must be knocked into a circular tube, and the iron powder can be used to make a loading line. Although no precise instruments are used, craftsmen must be a skilled hand to make a qualified barrel.
This is why Roland first created an steam engine.
With steam engine, he can use a steel drill to drill a gun barrel directly on a solid iron rod, so that the production speed can be greatly increased, and no skilled craftsman is required to operate, only one iron rod can be fixed Can be used.
