Chapter 4: Making Machinery

"This, it was invented by our dwarves, it turned out that our ancestors had found that there were several minerals that could explode together, so they researched and made explosives and then used them in ore production, and then one of our tribes was always attacked by monsters, so they developed this gunpowder and made artillery, and then evolved into the current musket, which we dwarves used to defend their homeland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info, but after the greedy humans found out and got the way to make it, they used this invention for war. Cooper replied.

After listening to this, I pondered, human greed is indeed extremely hateful, for their own selfish interests or temporary interests to wage wars, making lives miserable, the benefit is often those politicians, but the unlucky are always the common people, just like Japan invaded China, talking about the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, but in fact it wants to make China a Japanese colony, and the Nationalist Government where I belong is even more powerful enemy invasion but regardless of national righteousness and try to kill the Communist Party. If it weren't for Major General Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's house arrest principal, how could they agree to the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to resist the Japanese invaders, which is why I went abroad to study before and did not return to me, there are strong enemies outside, but at home they are killing each other regardless of national righteousness, I don't want to go back to China and point the gun at my compatriots.

I sighed: "Alas, this is the nature of human beings, greed, lust, hatred drive us, and the smoke of war never stops. I looked at Cooper: "By the way, I'm also a human, don't you dwarves dislike humans?" Why are you still taking me in? ”

"You? To be honest, I disagree with my father after saving you, but my father is very curious about you, but I am also very curious about you, after all, none of us have ever seen a human with black hair and black eyes, and I originally thought you were a dark elf, but you don't have pointed ears, and there is no dark aura flowing on your body. And during this time of contact, we have found that you are different from other humans. ”

"Oh! What's the difference? ”

"At least, the feeling in your eyes is very simple, unlike other humans who see us dwarves showing greedy eyes, always thinking of getting weapons and equipment forged by dwarves from us, but you don't, maybe it's because you're a foreigner, and you don't belong to this world."

"Hehe, greed is the weakness of humanity and the trigger point of all human wars. In my homeland, I have been devastated by war, and I have seen my land invaded by foreign enemies but unable to do anything. Okay, let's not talk about that, I want you to get me some gunpowder, I want to make some ammunition. ”

"Make the ammunition, okay, I'll get you a few barrels of gunpowder tomorrow morning, and you can mix it yourself."

In the middle of the night, Cooper had already gone home, and I was still in the workshop working on the mechanical drawings, and I thought I could make ammunition when the machines were finished. This morning, I found a material in the workshop that is very close to copper, so that the production of the cartridge case is there, the bullets in this world are still using lead bullets, but this kind of bullet consumption, wear and tear are very large, and the penetration is not good, plus the musket here has no rifling, as long as the bullet is blown out a little bit of wind will deviate from the trajectory, it seems that we should pay attention to this piece in the future, I originally thought about how to make rifling to the dwarves, but then I thought that if this technology was discovered, then human beings would inevitably get involved in this technology, It may cause unnecessary trouble to the dwarves, but there is also some selfishness in it.

The next day, Cooper decided to come over to help me in the past two days, by the way, I also wanted to learn my forging skills, and the old Cooper was also very willing, the dwarves of the whole village were also very interested in my forging skills, and they would come to inquire from time to time, and I was also taught, I handed over the mechanical drawings I drew yesterday to Cooper, and Cooper was surprised to see the countless parts and gears on the drawings in addition to being surprised, and had no clue, and asked me about the use of these mechanical parts, and I just snorted, Tell him when you're ready to make it.

For the next week, Cooper spent the next week helping me make parts for the machine, which would be handy for a dwarf who was born a master blacksmith, and I put all my energy into making my eight-sided sword, command knife, etc. Aunt Cooper had already made my costume and so on, and I had changed into my shirt and my regular trousers and riding boots, and I was finally able to say goodbye to the dwarven burlap skins. Aunt Cooper's craftsmanship is very good, and the costumes made of animal leather that I have never seen before are comfortable to wear.

In the past few days, Cooper Sr. has gone out to the human area to buy goods, and in the evening, Cooper and I stayed in my workshop and drank Langlun wine, talking freely.

"Ray, you surprise me all the time, to be honest, these drawings you gave me have no clue, but after a few days of work, I found that I seem to have discovered a new continent, and these drawings you gave me are assembled like some kind of machine, what are they used for?" Cooper said, sipping Lanlun wine.

Seeing that Cooper has been asking questions every day for the past few days, I had to tell him in advance: "This is indeed a kind of machine, a machine used to make bullets in batches, and the supply of bullets here is not very large, and it still uses the original production method, so there are flaws in both production and quality." And this kind of machine of mine can be mass-produced, and the bullets produced are much better than your bullets in terms of production and quality. ”

"Oh, I see." After hearing this, Cooper took a sip of wine and said, "Ray, have you ever thought about leaving our village and going to the human realm?" Trust that your talent will create more miracles. ”

"I did think about this, but I was a little reluctant to be here, after all, this is also my new place and my hometown. I'm definitely going to go out though, because I'm curious about the world here. I thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Uncle Cooper has been out for a few days, and it stands to reason that he should be back, why has it been delayed for so long?" ”

"Oh, do you know, when my uncle came back from a trip to the human region last time, he told us that a big war is brewing in the human region now, and the fuse is the kingdom of Dunxton in the northern continent and the kingdom of Norink in the western continent, because these two countries are bordering, and they are powerful countries, they are fighting for the possession of the borderless land of Feiberlin, and now they are intensifying, swords and crossbows, I am afraid that the war is about to start." Cooper wiped the drink from his beard: "If these two countries go to war, then several other countries will also go to war, because as long as there is someone in the lead, then someone will intervene." However, the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, where we live, is a remote area, and we will not be affected, although Sri Lanka has never participated in wars on the mainland, but it will be involved in the self-protection of these countries. ”

"Hehe, the head of the story is the Tao, I didn't expect you to have the ability to analyze war!" I teased.

"Why, this is not my analysis, because every war on the continent is caused by this, and the end is a lose-lose situation, and Sri Lanka has little to lose, because Sri Lanka has never taken the initiative to participate in the war, and Sri Lanka's king Sri Lanka? Gelton is also benevolent, so we foreigners can live here safely, which is why there are many more foreigners in Sri Lanka than in other kingdoms. ”

Cooper paused and continued: "Normally, we have smooth access to human cities, but maybe now that the war is imminent, the inspection is stricter when clearing customs, so my father will be slow. ”

While Cooper and I were still talking about these issues, Cooper Sr. returned.
