Chapter 175 175. Weapons
The Executive Office tries to assign suitable jobs to everyone.
As long as you join any workshop, the supply of food will be guaranteed.
In the entire East Continent, only Fulin Castle has such confidence.
Compared with the previous years, the harvest is more than doubled, and the development of marine fishery resources has reduced the dependence on staple food. A large amount of pickled fish, pickled meat, dried fruits and canned food are stored.
Even though new people are still joining the population every day, there is still ample room.
In terms of accommodation and warmth, the Executive Office ensures that no one has to sleep on the streets. No matter how crowded it is, at least there is a place to stay.
The wheat straw from the autumn harvest was provided free of charge. It was simply spread on the ground, and people huddled in the straw, leaning against each other for warmth. This was how most of the poor spent every winter.
Recently, the most frequently asked questions to the Executive Yuan are about household registration and land.
Following last year's practice, these refugees will eventually be assigned to Adventure Town.
However, according to statistics, the population of Adventure Town is nearly 10,000, which has reached the limit of being a town. If it goes any larger, it will need to be a city and take on more responsibilities and obligations.
For example, when the capital of the Principality of Sheen was attacked, its subordinate cities sent people to provide support.
Given the current situation of Adventure Town, which has just been established, it is obviously unreliable.
After discussing with Bruno, Lovi decided to build a new town.
The new base will be named Hunter Town, and its address will be located in the middle of Adventure Town and East Harbor City, in order to strengthen the control and development of the East Wasteland Forest.
Villages will be gradually established along the way, of course, only after the two towns are fully established.
At present, the East Desert Road is still too dangerous! Caravans often encounter wolves and various wild beasts, and there are hidden dangers of goblins lurking. "Where is the new weapon you promised?"
"Don't be impatient!"
Lovi buried his head in the space cloth bag, took it out and put it on the long table.
Lodel picked up the palm-sized black iron block curiously, frowned and looked at it repeatedly.
I always feel it's unreliable, but when I think about how Lowe has always been good at taking shortcuts and leveraging more power at the lowest cost, I don't make hasty judgments.
"Don't point the gun at yourself, idiot." Lovi stood up and took the black iron block from Lodel's hand: "This is a very lethal weapon."
"How do I use it?" Lodel folded her hands in a cold manner.
Lowe pushed open the window of the study, quickly loaded the bullets, and casually fired a few times at the sky, while explaining: "See, point the gun at your target and pull the trigger."
"It doesn't feel very good. Can it kill someone?" Lodel questioned the power of the pistol. There was no burning, no flames, no magical splendor, but it made a very loud noise.
"Don't underestimate me. I don't think you can withstand my strength."
Bullets can penetrate the surface with a single point, and are naturally able to defeat the protective energy of those who break the limit.
In other words, gunpowder is not mature at this stage, otherwise once it appears on a large scale, warriors will completely disappear from the stage of history.
The gunshots from the study attracted a group of guards on duty.
"Master, are you okay?" Lan Lan knocked on the door gently.
"It's okay, you guys go down." Lowe said.
The voices gradually faded away, and Lodel took the new weapon from Lovi's hand: "Do you know what it means to break my energy?"
"Is your energy as thick as plate armor?"
"No, it's probably equivalent to thick leather armor. I've tested it, and ordinary arrows can only cause slight damage to me."
"A pistol that can penetrate plate armor."
"Are you kidding? Don't you know how hard iron is? Plate armor is made of the best iron!" Lodel sneered.
Although the noise just now was indeed very intimidating, like thunder exploding out of nowhere: "Give it to me, I will try it myself tomorrow."
Lovi seriously distrusted Lodel's intelligence and demonstrated the process of loading the bullet again: "Remember not to point the gun at yourself. Even if you do, don't aim at the vital parts."
He took the brass bullet out of the magazine again and placed it on the desk: "You can think of it as an upgraded version of the bow and arrow. It has a longer range and greater power."
Lodel took the pistol and bullets and turned away.
The next morning, a thick mist rose near Moon Lake, and visibility was less than ten meters.
After breakfast, Lodel came to the shooting range where the archers were training.
He clumsily loaded the bullet, raised his hand, aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" The gunpowder gave off a faint smell of sulfur.
The 30-centimeter wooden target was not penetrated, wood chips flew everywhere, and the bullet was stuck in the center of the wood.
"Nothing more than that." Lodel curled his lips. It looked like the power was indeed greater than that of a bow and arrow. The sound was quite intimidating. It might be able to kill someone.
Penetrating plate armor, and still having range? Lodel hesitated slightly, but still called two guards to bring plate armor and put it on the target.
Everyone gathered around curiously, and saw the lady raise her hand, and flames burst out.
The next second, a round hole appeared in the center of the armor.
Laudel stood there in a daze, pulling the trigger twice in succession, muttering to himself: "This kind of weapon."
"From now on, it will be exclusive to men! With a pistol, men can take on the responsibility of hunting and defending their country. Women can just hide behind and give birth to children." In the blacksmith shop, Lovey made an impassioned speech.
"Hehe, the young master is right." Mosuofei rubbed his hands excitedly.
The two watched as the steel ingots in the furnace slowly melted into orange-red molten steel.
Lovi closed his eyes. The molten iron slowly floated in the air and changed shape, condensing into a shape like a 3D print according to the virtual image in his mind.
Magic is indeed a shortcut that turns the impossible into the possible . Seamless barrel overcomes all technical difficulties.
As the molten steel gradually solidified, the orange-red light dimmed, and then it was thrown into warm water at more than 30 degrees to quench the fire, and a large amount of white smoke came out with a hissing sound.
Lowe repeated the process to produce dozens of gun barrels, took a short break, and then continued to make the next part.
He is as precise as a machine, without any errors.
The barrel, grip, firing mechanism, launching mechanism, screws, springs, all of them are of uniform specifications, just like an assembly line process.
Lovey was very glad that he had watched popular science videos on various weapons, especially the internal structures of various firearms, with which he was quite familiar.
Replay memories through the meditation mirror for comparison and ultimate perfect replication.
During this period, he was able to make a batch of parts by hand every day with extremely high efficiency.
In this way, there is no need for a third party to intervene.
Luo Wei felt that he could refine it by himself. About 300 guns were enough to maintain the daily rule of the territory. There was no need to build a military factory for this purpose.
If guns become proliferating to an uncontrollable degree, it will affect the stability of the territory.
Of course, this is just his opinion at this stage. If there is a shortage of force in the future, he will most likely relax the restrictions.
The gun was assembled successfully, and the next step was to start refining bullets.
Refining them one by one is too inefficient.
Lowe handed over the task of developing the bullet mold to the blacksmith workshop.
The territory has ready-made high-quality chalcopyrite, which can be used directly. Then there is the production line of granular black powder, and the technology is now mature.
