Release that Witch

Seeing that the summer is about to end, Bianbu Town is about to usher in the last and hottest month of the summer. Roland is more and more afraid to leave the castle.

The saltpeter purchased from Margaret, except for the manufacture of gunpowder, is used by him to lower the room temperature. In almost every room, there is a bucket of saltpeter in the room, and there is a kettle in the bucket. . This can not only play the role of heat absorption and cooling, but also drink ice to hydrolyze thirst. Only in this way, he would not be sitting in the office every day, it was full of sweat.

In addition to Anna, the rest of the witches were also stopped by his work. In addition to the daily practice and study, they basically gathered in the lobby on the first floor, either chatting or talking to each other, and they were like a happy and happy look. And Anna... It’s not that Roland doesn’t want her to rest, but she is not afraid of heat at all. The red iron ingots can be held directly in the hands, and the hot summer heat is nothing to her. Even if she was busy at the steelmaking furnace for an afternoon, she would not have a little sweat.

In order to reward the hardworking and serious Anna, Roland has recently made some ice snacks to treat her. For example, the classic delicious ice cream of the later generations is mixed with egg yolk, cream, milk and sugar water, and then cooled by saltpeter. Anna is very fond of this cold, soft and sweet snack. Every time I bite the ice cream and the blue eyes are bent into a seam, it will make him feel good.

In addition, looking at the end of the month summary table sent by the City Hall is also a great pleasure.

So far, the population has doubled, and it is close to 18,000. In addition, the long song fortress will "turn over" a group of serfs every month, and it will not be a problem to break through the 20,000 mark in the coming year. If you do not calculate the number of villages and towns in the territory, this scale can be compared with big cities like Chishuicheng, Jinsuicheng and Wangdu.

Slightly regrettable, the population has grown a lot and the quality has not improved much. The current education is still more than a thousand indigenous people in the town, and it may take a year or so to graduate. The private colleges that Carl started before have created a group of first-time graduates, but the number of less than 100 people is relatively It still seems insignificant in terms of the total population.

Perhaps the education of the refugees in the East should be started first, instead of waiting for enough dormitory communities to do this. Roland thought, after all, education is only good and there is no harm.

The development of the factory in the town is also very good.

After half a year of construction, the industrial park now has three plants in operation: two steam engine production plants and one bullet processing plant. The number of workers in No. 1 factory has been expanded from the ten blacksmiths who were just founded to more than one hundred people. The follow-up is basically the aborigines. This is what he hopes to see. A group of apprentices have gradually grown into craftsmen. Drive the next batch of apprentices.

The workers at Plant No. 2 belonged to the Yueyuewan Caravan. In just one month, they had mastered the use of each machine tool. Although the yield rate was relatively bad, compared with the blacksmiths of No. 1 factory, the first month of these craftsmen. The performance is obviously better. It was only before the contract expired that the steam engines they produced were owned by Roland. Now the two factories can produce about eight to ten steam engines per month, which is also the main income of Bianyan Town.

As for the bullet factory, it was handed over directly to the First Army after its completion. Not only the entrance has a sentry post, but also patrols are arranged around it. Even the production work is the responsibility of the soldiers. After a one-week trial run, mass production of a new generation of fixed bullets has begun.

Roland's designed assembly line does not allow for full mechanical production. Whether it is a primer, gunpowder or warhead, it requires manual loading and compaction. The main processing tools are two mechanical presses, one for pressing Anna's cut copper into a shell shape and one for stamping the bottom cup.

Soldiers simply placed the mercury sulphate powder between two sheets of thin paper, glued the paper, sandwiched the bottom cup, and finally inserted the bottom cup into the annular groove at the end of the shell, and you're done. As for the process of filling black powder and compacting the warhead, it is exactly the same as the previous dressing exercise.

The number of factories is small, only forty people, and more than 500 bullets can be produced almost every day. Roland intends to turn these forty people into full-time processing personnel to maintain the normal operation of the bullet factory.

Next, Roland intends to make up the soap factory and the perfume factory. The former is an extremely important part of the military industry, and the latter may open up a new trade channel for the town. As for the bicycle factory, you can also drag it backwards, as long as it is put into production before the restoration of the kingdom avenue.

"His Royal Highness," the nightingale pushed open the doorway. "The wheat and lightning came."

The two men drilled from the side of the nightingale and ran to the table to find their heads. "Are you looking for us?"

"Tomorrow is the summer season," Roland pulled out the already written reply from the drawer and handed it to McMug. "When you return to the fjord, remember to hand me over to Tilly."

"Ah...!" She took a moment, took a few eyes and took the envelope, carefully stuffed into the close-fitting bag, "No problem!"

Seeing the other side's appearance, I am afraid I can't remember that I have to go back to report the letter every month. Roland held back the smile of my heart. It seems that the charm of the town is really big.

"I have forgotten that tomorrow is another new month," Lightning pressed his forehead. "Isn't that a long time to meet?"

"The last time I was tired of Tyre’s cleaning plan, I will return as soon as possible.” Mai Hao shook the long white hair that was about to be dragged to the ground. “The eagle’s nest will wait for me to come back before I can explore. ...oh!"

"I know," the little girl snorted. "That's it."

“You also have a mission,” Roland opened a blueprint for the southern part of the town. “This is a map you personally sketched. Remember the location of the shoal in the direction of the sea?”

"Remember," Lightning stroked on the map. "Probably in this place."

"Very good, you will bring the maiden fly once in the future, then insert two flags at the junction of the shoal and the mountain, and mark it on the map," he said after looking at the wheat. "If Tilly agrees If you send a witch, you will lead the sailboat to this shoal position, and I will welcome you at the top of the mountain."

"Send a witch?" Lightning curiously said, "Is there a new sister who wants to come to the town?"

"I don't know yet," Roland smiled. "It depends on Tilly's answer... but I think she will promise." (To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
