In his eyes, Aikoli was just an ordinary human being and didn't look special at all.
Just a slightly pretty girl.
But she can summon a wisp of high-temperature flame at will.
It is simply unbelievable and it shocked Dr. Jack's three views. It is unscientific.
Dr. Jack was about to study how she summoned the fire.
But he was stopped by Luo Sheng.
He just said, "Let me tell you straight, this is a magical world where we can use the power of elements to summon high-temperature flames, so steelmaking is not a problem. We just lack the necessary technology."
After listening to this, Dr. Jack was silent for a long time.
Obviously, he was thinking about Luo Sheng's words.
After a moment, he broke the silence and said, "They are facing a problem that even magic can't solve, right? So they need my technological help."
Dr. Jack glanced at his surroundings.
This is a very backward medieval time.
In his eyes, it was like a primitive society.
It was basically an era of cold weapons, and there was no communication equipment. People relied entirely on riding horses or other means, such as mail.
Luo Sheng nodded without hesitation: "This place is under attack like Pandora, and their magic is hard to resist, so I asked you to come and help."
Doctor Jack then said, "What if our base also needs her help?"
"Of course there is no problem with that. Besides, I would ask her to help even if you didn't tell me."
Doctor Jack nodded and said, "That's no problem. Leave it to me. But I need her flame to help me."
Dr. Jack then brought out several engineers from the base.
They have excellent scientific knowledge.
It is not a problem to just improve the technological level of primitive society.
Then, Aikoli became the fire in the furnace.
She needs to keep melting the metal with high temperatures.
Doctor Jack used these metals to make simple instruments.
For example, simple communication equipment, walkie-talkies, telegraphs, electric lights, various simple double-shot muskets, and exquisite revolvers.
He could have created more advanced weapons.
Unfortunately, it is too hasty now.
There is simply no way to find enough raw materials.
Therefore, only this kind of simple firearm could be produced, and the bullets were fixed.
This is already the simplest and cheapest thermal weapon.
Seeing these, Luo Sheng asked curiously: "Why can we make walkie-talkies and telegraphs, but not automatic rifles?"
Doctor Jack rolled his eyes at him, then explained, "Walkie-talkies and telegraphs aren't high-tech, they can be mass-produced with existing minerals, but if you want to make an automatic rifle, your chemistry must also keep up.
Smokeless gunpowder, nitroglycerin, and mercuric nitrate cannot be produced immediately, and the raw materials are not in sufficient supply. This is simply a primitive society, and the most precious materials are not available at all.
So just be content, it's not easy to make these."
When Dr. Jack spoke.
He also gently stroked a brand new cannon with his hand.
He used an Armstrong cannon that was threaded and filled in afterwards.
That is, a breech-loading rifled gun.
The power of this cannon is enormous. The weight of its shells has reached 24 pounds, and the effective range can reach up to two kilometers. Of course, the maximum range is more than that.
But the error is quite large.
Basically, being able to hit someone is considered a blessing from the goddess of luck.
It's probably just a simple waste of firepower, so two kilometers is the most effective range.
Moreover, Dr. Jack discovered that the fire summoned by Akoli had an extremely high temperature.
All metals can be melted, so the quality of the Armstrong cannon is quite excellent.
The metal's hardness increased by 50%, and the weight of the entire cannon decreased by 30%.
Its durability is beyond expectations. It will take at least 700 firings before the barrel explodes.
After all, in addition to magicians, there are also warriors in this world.
Their strength is beyond the reach of ordinary people. One person can lift at least 500 kilograms, so with just a little training, it is no problem for a few people to lift a cannon.
Besides, the Armstrong cannon has two wheels.
No lifting required at all, just traction.
An excellent and outstanding soldier can pull a cannon and move quickly by himself.
This is simply a human tank.
Aikoli and Mary Fate looked at such a huge metal object with some confusion.
The same is true even for their newly recruited troops.
Ai Keli couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jack, what on earth is this?"
"Cannon," Dr. Jack said simply.
Amidst everyone's doubts.
Dr. Jack asked several engineers to start loading the Armstrong cannon.
The gentleman unscrewed the threaded bolt at the tail, opened the heavy rear door, loaded a round bullet and more than ten kilograms of gunpowder into it, and then took out a long rope.
They all stood far away.
Just pull it.
Boom!!!
There was a loud bang.
The ground around Armstrong's cannon shook violently.
It was as if there had been a violent explosion before, like a small earthquake.
All the soldiers did not watch from afar, but stayed within a few dozen meters of Armstrong's cannon.
At the moment the cannon fired.
Many people were so scared that they peed their pants and sat down on the ground with their legs going weak.
Their eyes were full of fear. They were all recruited from civilians, so they had no knowledge of these new weapons and had never experienced the baptism of war.
So they simply cannot withstand such shocks.
Even Mary Fate is a very good magician.
I almost collapsed to the ground.
The effect produced by this cannon is more amazing than imagined.
At this moment, they all looked to the other side at the same time.
I saw several big trees in front of me being cut in half and breaking and falling to the ground one after another. There was also a rumbling sound coming from the distant hilltop, and a huge solid iron ball hit the hilltop.
There was a violent explosion.
A lot of soil was splashed up, and suddenly there was a billowing cloud of dust.
Even at such a long distance, it still has such great power.
The guards were basically dumbfounded.
Even Ai Keli couldn't help swallowing when she saw such a weapon. The power of this kind of shell was extremely huge. If she didn't pay attention, she might get injured.
Although this kind of cannon has little effect against magicians like Evelynna.
But when it comes to dealing with other warriors and adventurers, it is more than enough.
One shell is enough to kill several people And its huge power can also intimidate the enemy on the opposite side.
What's more, the number of cannons manufactured by Dr. Jack has exceeded 100.
Enough to turn the entire metal fortress into an iron wall.
In addition, Dr. Jack also manufactured a large number of muskets.
Ai Keli had experienced it on the spot before. The power of this musket could easily penetrate ordinary armor.
Moreover, its effective range is not short, reaching at least two to three hundred meters.
It’s just a bit regrettable that the craftsmen in the city are simply unable to learn such manufacturing technology.
