Release that Witch Chapter 60: Layout
[Broadcasting] Pay attention to "Beginning of Reading" and get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes. Students who haven't snatched red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Border Town's second recruiting was much smoother than the first, thanks to the winter food ration, the militia team can get more and better food. Every week on the family visit day, many team members secretly pass the bread and jerky saved in weekdays to their loved ones. Roland instructed Carter and Iron Axe not to interfere with the matter, and those loved ones cheerfully brought food home and spread the news to their neighbors.
A troop consisting of the people is itself an excellent example of propaganda. Neighbourhood talk is much more effective than City Hall's deliberate propaganda. Now most of the people in the old district of small town know this. The militia team formed by His Highness -- is not only well-paid, can eat three meals a day, and it is not so dangerous to fight with Evil Beast's. Therefore, when recruiting troops for the second time, the number of people in the old area increased greatly, and even residents of the new area came to register.
The number of people who meet the requirements is much higher than the expectations of Roland, so the second militia team expanded to 200 people and was led by Carter to train on weekdays. When the horn sounded, they went to the city walls and stood by as auxiliary forces.
Both Chief Knight and Assistant Minister have raised objections to this. At present, it seems that the first militia team is capable of resisting the Evil Beast's combat mission. At this time, the second team is recruited, and the number is more than double the first team. . Food and salaries that are higher than the average people's rations will lead to an increase in the financial expenditure burden, and this extra gold royal will not play a significant role.
Roland insisted on its decision.
Because these people are not prepared to deal with Evil Beast.
For the time being, he is afraid to inform his subordinates of the plans he has in mind. Before Duke started, he had the intention to attack stronghold. The idea of -- is now out, Carter and Barov are completely unacceptable.
Longsong Stronghold and Border Town are different. As the official borderline of Kingdom of Greycastle, its walls are ten meters high and are accumulated by bricks and stones. Duke and Western Region Six major family are stationed in the inner city, and it is estimated that there are more than a thousand soldiers. Theoretically speaking, the militia team, which is less than three hundred people by itself, simply won stronghold -- in the siege battle with impossible even if it is equipped with a cross-era firearms.
Due to the existence of God Punishment Stone, witch cannot be used as a beheading weapon. Roland has repeatedly confirmed to Nightingale. nobles such as Duke Ryan and Six major family will certainly spare no effort when purchasing God Punishment Stone -- Of course, the statement to the outside world is called donation. This ability to donate several to dozens of gold royal stones can block witch within a certain range. It is the most powerful weapon claimed by Church to fight against Devil, and it is also their biggest input each year.
Roland's only chance is in the field.
Thanks to this era, most of the wars between feudal lord are in the draft mode. Those who want to convene will not leave halfway, feudal lord will basically be recruited with the team, which gives Roland the opportunity to implement an annihilation war. But how to grasp this opportunity, he is still at a loss. After all, all of his experience in seducing the enemy's formations comes from film and television works or historical stories, and has never been actually operated.
If you don't understand, you should do what you are good at first, he thought.
Roland stretched out, walked out of the office, and came to the backyard wooden shed alone.
The assembled steamer No. 2 stands quietly in the center of the venue. At first glance, its appearance is much smoother than that of the first steam machine, and the traces on the welds of large parts are no longer as uneven as before. This is the masterpiece of Anna's new ability. Her green fire can drill into small gaps for welding, and the large pieces assembled are better than before.
In the spirit of research and development of the follow-up model, which is stronger than the original model, and the magic modification model is stronger than the follow-up model, the Steam 2 has been equipped with a centrifugal governor. As the first set of automatic control system and feedback system in human history, its appearance can be regarded as extraordinary significance. The structure of the governor is very simple. The main body consists of two hinged thin rods with iron **** welded at the ends and a rotating main rod. As long as the bamboo pole is quickly rubbed, the two rotating fan blades will automatically rise due to the centrifugal force.
For the governor, the two iron **** are equivalent to the fan blade -- steam engine, which drives the main shaft to rotate. When the output is too high, the speed of the small ball increases, and it gradually rises under the influence of centrifugal force, which drives the lever to close. valve. When the output becomes low, the speed of the ball slows down and the position decreases under the influence of gravity, thereby increasing the valve. Keep steam engine always running at a relatively fixed power.
With the speed controller, the Steam No. 2 machine can now take on some more delicate processing tasks.
The gear previously delivered to the blacksmiths has been fully completed, and now the entire simultaneously is placed at the corner of the shed.
If you want to see from the perspective of industrial assembly line production, none of this batch of gear can be called a qualified product, all of them are thrown into the defective box, waiting for the return of the goods. But as far as this era is concerned, they are already a rare work of art. -- designed according to the involute gear naturally has a harmonious beauty. The roulette is infiltrated with lard and emits a unique gloss of metal.
Except for the gear group, the bases and stands for carpenters responsible for planing, as well as other parts, have been prepared. He called the guards outside the door to Anna and began to assemble the first steam-powered boring machine together.
In the plan of Roland, this is the fastest way to mass produce firearms.
Relying on a gun barrel by a blacksmith manually is extremely time-consuming and laborious. With a boring machine, he only needs to pour out an iron rod and directly drill a hole with a boring knife. In a day, he can produce a dozen barrels Come.
At the same time, by changing the cutter head, the boring machine can also be used to cut the rifling. With the rifling, the firing accuracy of the flintlock will be further improved.
In this way, he is sure to arm two militia teams and nearly three hundred people before the end of winter.
But Roland still can't guarantee that his citizen can still calmly reload aiming fire when facing Knight charge, instead of throwing weapon and turning around. After all, these two teams were too short to establish and did not have any experience fighting with others.
So he has to put more powerful firepower on the stage and completely defeat the enemy before he can charge.
That's cannon.
As the **** of war in the history of human warfare, the lethality and deterrence brought by cannon are not comparable to firearms. A six-pound field gun with a range sufficient to launch an attack when the opponents gather. It is impossible for the mixed army of this era to maintain discipline under the impact of artillery fire. As long as it is equipped with three to four field artillery, the opponent will not have the opportunity to charge.
He has done a good job planning step by step. -- With a manual milling machine, he can process a usable gear. With gear and a speed-controlled steam number two machine, he can get a steam-powered boring machine. With a steam boring machine, he can produce a variety of barrels and barrels.
At least two months before the end of Months of Demons, as long as the implementation of the plan is smooth, the Border Town's militia team will have the full strength to compete with the Duke army.
