Release that Witch - Chapter 1157

[Chapter 1131 Chapter 3 Xianxue]

As soon as he thought of it, he acted. Roland immediately went to the ammunition factory after leaving Third Border City.

Although Anna is not in Neverwinter at the moment, if his idea is correct, this part of the transformation can be completed with the existing technology alone.

In other words, only in this way can it have the value of mass production.

Walking into the factory surrounded by personal guards, the unprepared workers suddenly fell to their knees, and the scene was full of surprise and excitement.

Looking at everyone’s frenzied eyes, Roland realized that his actions might be a little too impulsive, but since he had already arrived, he had no choice but to make mistakes, turning the test trip into a condolence and inspection trip.

After finally getting the enthusiastic workers back to their posts, he immediately ordered the person in charge to say, “Call the most skilled foreman in the factory, I have something I want to trial-manufacture.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The principle of tracer bullets is not complicated. Simply put, the solid bullet is hollowed out, filled with luminescent agent, combustion aid, and delayed powder, and then sealed with a tail pipe and aluminum foil.

When the bullet is fired, the propellant gas breaks through the foil, igniting the delay powder until the luminescent charge burns, resulting in a bright trail.

For future generations with a complete range of chemical industries, this is just a matter of adding another production line, but it is obviously a headache for Neverwinter City, where industrial projects are extremely uneven.

The luminescent agent is generally a mixture of strontium nitrate, magnesium aluminum powder and barium peroxide, which means that if you want to mass-produce tracer bombs, you must first conquer the industrial production line of these compounds.

As for the level of the chemical industry in his own territory, Roland naturally knew well that until now, the Ministry of Chemical Industry did not dare to say that it would be able to satisfy the first army’s machine gun ammunition supply, let alone others.

The person in charge quickly found a craftsman. To his surprise, the other party was not a trembling old man with gray hair, but a young man in his mid-twenties.

He knelt down on one knee excitedly, and saluted like a knight, “Your Majesty, what can I do for you?”

Roland immediately realized, that’s right, Neverwinter has entered the era of mechanical production, and the younger generation with better learning ability is becoming the main force of the wave of industrialization. This is also a scene that is difficult to see in handicraft workshops. In the face of brand-new production tools, the past experience is no longer applicable.

Now that I think about it, most of the busy people in the factory are in their twenties and thirties. Considering that they have held key positions, the future of Graycastle is really worth looking forward to.

Roland nodded with satisfaction, “I want to add something new to the bullet, just do as I say.”

His idea is very simple, since the “stone tablet” will emit a dazzling light when it is violently deformed, it may be possible to achieve the same tracer effect as long as it uses the impact of gunpowder gas.

Its specific principle is similar to that of a stamping machine. A gradually tightening gourd mouth is cut out inside the bullet, and a thin layer of stone tablet slices are filled at the bottom. When the bullet is fired, the expanding gas will directly squeeze the slices into the gourd mouth.

Due to the existence of the middle bayonet, even after the bullet is ejected from the chamber, the slice cannot return to its original shape, which is equivalent to being in a shrinking state all the time, thus continuously emitting light until the potential is exhausted.

After explaining a few words, Xiangfang fully understood his intention, and agreed with him straight away.

Just one day later, a verification report was delivered to Roland’s desk.

The results proved that this method is indeed feasible. After several attempts, the twenty or so bullets that were successfully transformed could all see obvious flashes, and the barrage left a clearly identifiable light trail in front of everyone.

He couldn’t help but be very excited!

For a long time, night battles with no visible shooting points have always been a major weakness of the First Army’s fortified tactics. Even with flares, it is still extremely difficult to achieve daytime shooting levels under dim light conditions.

In addition, if you put the machine gun on the plane, this problem will only be more prominent. Even on a cloudless and sunny day, the pilot may not know where he shot the bullet.

If such a simple method can be used to achieve the indication effect, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the upcoming battle of divine will.

What’s more, due to the continuous consumption of luminescent agent, the weight and center of gravity of traditional tracer bullets will change, which will eventually lead to the deviation of the ballistic trajectory. Therefore, at the beginning of its appearance, there was also a saying that “if the tracer bullet hits, it means that other bullets did not hit”.

However, using non-consumable “stone tablet” fragments as indicator lights, the performance is actually better than the traditional method. As long as the body is slightly lengthened, the flight characteristics of the new tracer bullets can be almost the same as normal bullets.

The only question left is how many “stone tablets” are available in the extreme south.

…

A week later, the two discoverers of the desert ruins arrived at Shoal Harbor.

In the living room, Roland asked again about the wonder they found under the water cave.

The answers of the two were also roughly consistent with the contents of the report. Before encountering the iron-clad giant scorpion, their exploration distance was only a few hundred meters, and they had no idea what was behind the so-called “stone wall”.

In other words, the “stone monument” they saw was probably only a small part of it.

After all, judging from the murals, there should not be a small number of corpses that can make blood flow into rivers.

In addition, there is one point in the description of the sandman Xinbadi that he is very concerned about, that is, the environment in the cave is like an oasis in Yinchuan, and even the rumored extinct flower of the angel appeared.

If the once vast grassland really degenerated into a desert because of the departure of the messengers of the three gods, then the underground of Endless Cape should be no exception.

Maybe there is a deviation in the rumor itself, or there are other mysteries hidden there.

He couldn’t wait to dig out that desert to have a look.

After asking about the situation, Roland left the Fjordman alone.

“Your diving attire is very interesting, and the relics you discovered are enough to be remembered in the annals of history.” He took a sip of tea slowly, “To be honest, I am a little surprised to see that you can use the steam engine for new inventions. Most people find it difficult to even use it after buying it. Without the guidance of the technicians sent by the factory, they can only stand aside in a daze, let alone modify it by hand. With this ability alone, half of your foot is already Stepping onto the podium of a Lifetime Explorer of Honor.”

“Many, thank you for your praise,” Rex said excitedly, “It took me half a year to figure out the principle of controlling it. If you need it, I can give you priority in supplying diving suits, and the price is not cheap at all. question”

“No, you misunderstood me, I don’t need your diving suit,” Roland smiled slightly, “In fact, as long as I want to, I can make better ones.”

Rex blinked, seemingly not expecting such a reply.

He grinned awkwardly, as if trying to force a smile, “Your Majesty…”

And Roland interrupted him directly, “You may think I’m bragging, but that’s okay. What I really want is the Society of Odd Objects.”

The other party couldn’t help being stunned, “I… don’t understand what you mean…”

“I know what you want to prove, and I can help realize it. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” Roland said bluntly, “There are two kinds of sages in the world: stargazing and alchemy, regardless of the former. , I don’t think what you are doing is essentially different from alchemy. They are all creating new things for human beings. Then why can’t we treat strange things as the third kind of sage’s learning and establish a corresponding industry association Woolen cloth?”

Rex’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and he suddenly realized the meaning of these words. If someone else said this, he would only think it was nonsense, or even ridicule.

Compared with the well-known Alchemist Association and Star Gazing Association, the Society of Strange Objects is not worth mentioning at all.

But the King of Graycastle is different, considering his fame and power, this is not impossible.

He swallowed, feeling that his voice was a little hoarse, “Then… what’s the price?”

Since the other party intends to help the Odd Object Society to rectify its name, it is impossible that there is no picture.

“all of these.”

“what……?”

“Ahem, no, I mean, you will work for me.” Roland cleared his throat, “Move to Neverwinter and become a part of Graycastle. All research results belong to me, including sales rights And access. And you will get honor and wealth, and a better research environment.”

“I…” Rex didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Although the things they created have been scorned and criticized, they are still like their own children. If they were to be handed over to others like this, most people in the Club of Wonderful Objects would probably be unwilling to agree.

“I know this requires serious consideration. You should go back to your resting place and think about it.” Roland stood up and pushed a book next to him in front of him. “Just give me an answer in three days.”

“Your Majesty, this is…” Rex held up the book and asked puzzledly.

“Your reward for discovering the ruins.” He replied with the corner of his mouth raised.
