Chapter 262 Development and Improvement

On May 18, Morgen Hills, Norton family territory, a heavily guarded glass production base.

Lorist pointed to the silversmith to install the two polished lenses. Even with the detailed drawings, it took a long time to change and change them before they met Lorist's requirements.

A telescope with a big and a small barrel finally appeared in Lorester’s hands. The old silversmith with wrinkled forehead looked disapproving. After Lorester refused his request to engrave fine patterns on the barrel, he went I am very sad because my superb craftsmanship cannot be used.

Lorist fiddled with it for a long time, and stuffed the silver monocular telescope in his hand to the technician next to Mancheni: "Look at it, this is the telescope I'm talking about."

The Mancheni technician raised his binoculars and looked around as he did for Lorist, and cried out in surprise from time to time.

"You can see, this is the real purpose of the glass I am talking about, but this telescope is just one of them. You can use oil glass to grind the lens. You have to hire some people to grind the lens and set the standard. , The difference between the concave and convex of the glass can cause very different effects. Like this drawing I drew, it is a magnifying glass, which can help magnify objects so that people can see clearly, and this one is glasses, just like the master silversmith When he gets older, he has poor eyesight, so he has to work hard to see things. With these glasses, he can just like when he was young without worrying about dazzling..."

The technician Mancheni bowed his head respectfully to Loriste: "My lord, I am really excited and proud to be able to work for you. You opened a skylight and let me see a broader sky... …"

Lorist laughed: "Don't talk nonsense, just do your own job. Your next task is still very heavy. The current output of Green Glass and Oil Glass is enough. There is no need to expand production. We don't need it. With this foreign trade, self-production and self-sale is enough. The focus is on binoculars, glasses and magnifiers, which are the profit growth points for our family's future foreign trade.

At present, the most important thing is to pay close attention to the development and experimentation of transparent white glass. You have seen my two silver mirrors made of white crystal. When this kind of glass mirror appears, it will bring us a steady stream of gold coins. The transparency of oil glass is very good, but its non-stickiness cannot be used to make mirrors. So you have to think of ways to experiment with more formulas and make this kind of transparent white glass as soon as possible.

Another point is to find ways to expand the glass manufacturing specifications, whether the area can be increased and the thickness can be increased. We can use large green glass to make greenhouses so that we can eat fresh vegetables in winter. In addition, exploring the application of glass in various aspects, such as whether oil glass can make teapots and cups, as well as glass tableware, can bring huge profits to our family...

I give you the responsibility of the glass production base, I hope you can take the initiative to explore the mystery of glass, whether it is capital or human materials, we will meet your requirements. Don't care whether the cost of conducting these glass experiments is worth it. Even if it fails, it will only let us understand that this road is not working, and we should change our way. And this discovery is also a gain, understand? "

The technician Mancheni bowed to Loriste gratefully: "My lord, please rest assured, I will do the experiment as soon as possible according to your wishes and record it. What you just said I will arrange for someone to do it, and I will not let you Disappointed."

Lorist nodded: "A batch of binoculars will be made in the past few days with numbers marked on them. I will send them to the family armed forces for use by the Marine Corps. I am going to Blackforge in two days and I need to take a few of them. Send it over when you are done. I'll leave it to you here."

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as he left the house, Shihuade came to report: "My lord, Father Barrick came over to look for you, as if he was very anxious."

Father Barrick was very anxious, but he was full of joy: "My lord, the paper you want has been produced. Let's see if this is the case."

He took a waterproof cylinder made of copper and animal skins from his back. After opening the lid, he carefully pulled out a roll of paper from it and opened it gently.

The paper placed in front of Lorist is very similar to the kraft paper used for packaging in the previous life. The color is not white, it is a light brown, but the surface is smooth and delicate, and it seems to have a little oiliness.

Lorester stretched out his hand and touched it a few times, and then ordered Swarder to bring him ink and a quill, randomly wrote a few lines on the paper, and drew a few more lines, and then said with satisfaction: "Not bad. The ink dries quickly, but the paper is not white. Father Barrick, how did you suddenly make this paper?"

"It's an accident, it's totally an accident." Father Barrick laughed: "My lord, since we have not made much progress in experimenting with papermaking, most of the furnaces used to cook pulp are producing toilet paper. Now the population of the family territory is increasing. Increasing demand for this kind of waste paper is great, and the gains from the buying and selling of waste paper also make up for the cost of papermaking research.

A few days ago, a worker went out during lunch break and bought a large piece of butter to take home. When he returned to the workshop, something happened and he put the butter on the edge of the pulp-boiled pool stove. As a result, as soon as the hot air under the pool came up, the butter melted and flowed into the pool and no one noticed it. We had to scoop up the pulp after stirring as usual, and then we found that the pulp in the pool was not soft and soft toilet paper after it dries, but a relatively smooth hard paper...

We checked it and found that it was the piece of butter that made it like this. So during this time we have been experimenting with paper making with various fats and oils. This paper is made with butter. The price is the cheapest and the most expensive. Cheap. We calculated that the cost of fifteen pieces of this paper is only about one copper coin without calculating labor, and it is only three copper coins when calculating labor. "

Lorist is very happy. The telescope has just been successfully trial-produced, and papermaking has made breakthroughs here, which is really good. However, he still put forward a new request to Barley's father: "Schward, record the rewards for the successful trial production of this paper. Barleyk's father rewarded one hundred golden ford, and the remaining meritorious personnel 10 golden ford. Daddy Lek, you will do some more experiments next, add some whitening agents or materials, and find a way to make this paper whiter and more delicate, and thinner than this paper. That will be considered successful. To produce paper that can be a major commodity in our family.

Also, the production and formula of this paper need to be kept secret. Shuad, give me an order to ask Baldfinger to select the older veterans who need to retire from the family's armed forces to form a new security battalion, which is responsible for the defense and security tasks of the paper mill and glass production base here. Everything in the two places will not be leaked. "

"Yes, my lord, I'll ask the guard to send the order right away." Sward replied.

...

On May 21st, Blade's Edge Mountains, a well-guarded valley.

This is the newly-built gunpowder experiment site, where Professor Bob, who was taken captive by Lorist, is doing various experiments on gunpowder.

"Master Earl, I really don’t understand why you attach so much importance to gunpowder. In fact, I think that gunpowder may have something to do in the military, but the others are not of much use. Elephant dwarves have used gunpowder for nearly a thousand years. They have no other way to use them except as muskets."

Upon meeting, Professor Bob, besides giving Lorist a copy of the best-matched gunpowder formula he tested, also raised his own questions.

Lorist laughed, but he did not answer. He took the gunpowder formula given by Professor Bob, and after looking at it, he crossed out the egg white item.

Professor Bob protested: "Without egg white, gunpowder powder cannot be solidified, and its effect will be greatly reduced."

"There is no need for egg white and no solidification. The effect is best when the gunpowder is in a granular state." Lorister said.

In the presence of the dubious Professor Bob, Lorester made the gunpowder powder into granules and left it to dry.

Two days later, Lorist made a few small iron barrels, filled the granular gunpowder into it, and hung the fuse, then wrapped it into an explosive bag and stuffed it into a hole cut in a rock cliff, and then lit the fuse. .

After a while, a dull explosion sounded, and the stone cliff in the distance seemed to tremble, and large tracts of rocks fell from the cliff. After the dust in the distance stopped, the appearance of the stone cliff had changed drastically, almost half of its appearance. Under the cliff, there were large pieces of fallen stones, like a hill.

"Look, Professor Bob, this is the true power of gunpowder. With gunpowder, we can open mountains and quarry rocks, build roads, bridges, build houses, and dig mines. It will save labor and shorten the construction period. In the military The effect of this aspect, you will be able to see it in two days. A new powerful long-range weapon will appear in Galinthia, that is artillery." Lorist said triumphantly.

"Cannon?" Professor Bob asked suspiciously.

"Yes, artillery." Lorist answered.

...

May 23, Blade's Edge Mountains, Ironforge.

In order to keep it secret, the family built a fortress castle outside the valley of the mysterious iron extraction base, one is to facilitate the guards, and the other is to provide a comfortable living environment for the technical talents of Master Sid. With a stroke of Lorister's pen, Ironforge became the official name.

"My lord, all seventeen sets of refined iron equipment have been sent to Silovas Island, and an atlas of various types of equipment has been drawn. All according to your requirements, the defense power of equipment is slightly lower than that of the white lion equipment. First, the appearance is gorgeous, the decoration is beautiful and luxurious, and the selling price is basically between 80 and 120 Kingford." Master Sid reported the first thing to Lorist.

"I don't worry about you, Master Sid, you are an expert in this regard, and I fully believe that your decision will bring the family to the greatest benefit." Lorist nodded and expressed his appreciation.

Master Sid was very happy, and his footsteps immediately rose.

"My lord, the design based on your wheelbarrow combined with the steel crossbow of the chariot has now been finalized. A total of twenty-four vehicles have been made. They are placed in front, and you can see them by turning the wall..."

Twenty-four unique wheelbarrows were arranged in two rows, and the steel crossbows mounted on them shone coldly under the sunlight.

Lorist took a closer look and found that these wheelbarrows were steel-wood structures, especially the wheel axles, which had been specially reinforced. He picked up a wheelbarrow and pushed it a few steps. It didn't feel too much effort, and it was even a little easy.

Master Sid introduced next to him: "My lord, the unicycle you designed is really unique. No one has ever imagined that a car can be made on one wheel. It has a high load and is convenient and flexible. These unicycles can be used on mountain roads for one person. My lord, I wonder if I can make some unicycles separately for sale in the future?"

Lorist smiled and said: "Of course it can, but the unicycles sold must not only be durable, but also cheap to sell. By the way, Master Sid, does the steel crossbow have any effect on it?"

Master Sid shook his head and said: "No, it has no effect at all. Some time ago, Lord Dolles specially found a group of 500-member tank steel ballistas to try it out. They said that firing steel crossbows on the ground would be more secure. It’s not as narrow as the carriage of a chariot. Sometimes you have to cooperate with each other to launch a steel crossbow. There is no need to worry about having a lot of space on the ground."

"Nadolus thinks that such a unicycle steel crossbow cart also needs a group of five?" Lorist asked.

"Yes, sir. One person pushes and two people, plus two guards, and can be replaced at any time. Lord Dolles thinks this combination is the most suitable. And the only disadvantage of this kind of unicycle is that it must be stopped when it is launched. Someone can hold the handle to fix the car. This is because the wheelbarrow is too light." Master Sid replied.

"That's OK. Next, let Dolles equip Dolles with a corps unicycle steel crossbow. This guy is also waiting anxiously, hoping to become corps commander soon. Schward, record it, and order Malek from the chariot. The Steel Crossbow Regiment mobilized half of its troops to help Dolles form this unicycle Steel Crossbow Regiment, and their remaining shortcomings were made up by themselves from the boot camp."

"Yes, my lord." Sward said.

Master Sid stopped in front of Lorist: "My lord, wait, don't you find any difference with this steel crossbow?"

Yep? Lorist looked at the steel crossbow mounted on the wheelbarrow. It was no different. He looked at it again and suddenly found that it was different: "Master, it seems that this steel crossbow seems to be a bit smaller, not the original one. The steel crossbow is big, right?"

Master Sid laughed: "My lord, it's more than that. Look at this crossbow arrow. Although it is also made of iron, it is half the weight of the original iron crossbow. It is fired more stable and more accurate... "

"You improved? But will it affect the three-hundred-meter direct range of the steel crossbow if it is so small?" Lorist asked with some worry.

Master Sid waved his hand: "My lord, in fact, you have always had a misunderstanding, thinking that the 300-meter range of the steel crossbow is the direct shooting distance. In fact, after continuous testing, we discovered that the real direct shooting distance of the steel crossbow is also About 70 or 80 meters, the range of 300 meters is actually a kind of arc, but the force of the steel crossbow is too strong, this arc is not obvious, everyone thinks it is the distance of a direct shot.

When we discovered this result, we were very surprised, so we went to the Archers' Pete Master for help. Asking him to bring a small group of longbowmen to cooperate with us in the experiment, and finally came to the conclusion that the so-called longbow shooting distance of 100 meters can threaten the golden knight is also misinformed.

Of course, archers like Master Josk are exceptions. All longbowmen admit that they can aim at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, but the target of one hundred meters is no bigger than the nail of the pinky finger. They will always aim and shoot. Raise it a little bit and launch again, which shows that the feather arrows fired by their longbows are also in an arc.

Like steel crossbow shooters, they said that they couldn't see a single target 300 meters away. Basically, they used dense crossbow arrows to form a cover based on the target's location to cause threat and damage to the target. So please rest assured, the reduction of the steel crossbow this time is because we have better replacement materials than the original steel crossbow pieces, and it does not affect the power of the steel crossbow. "

"So, who made this new crossbow piece of steel crossbow?" After a preaching by Master Sid~www.wuxiaspot.com~Lorist realized it, even after thinking about it, a hundred meters away People are no bigger than soybeans. Whether it is a steel crossbow or a longbow, the threat is mainly formed by covering shooting. Accurate aiming and shooting are really half luck.

"My lord, have you forgotten Old Julian? After he was appointed by you as the head of the workshop that produces iron crossbows, he has been thinking about how to make a better and stronger material than that steel crossbow. After testing for several years, he finally got it out. After inspection with Master Faring, we thought that this steel crossbow piece exceeded the performance of the last crossbow piece. For this reason, we applied for a comprehensive application report. Replace the original chariot steel crossbow, but it hasn’t recovered yet.” Master Sid replied.

"By the way, the bronze round tubes named as barrels on the drawing that you ordered me to bring to me last time, I also handed them to Old Julian to be responsible for casting, and now they have all been cast. Go and have a look? My lord, I'm very surprised, what exactly is this big and heavy bronze tube used for? And what does this barrel mean?"
