"Lord Allen, we can't seem to move this cannon?"

Ivan probed to look at the design drawings, as an orc of the military department, he attached great importance to the function of the new weapon, and after seeing the drawings, he immediately thought of the shortcomings of the combat not as flexible as the flintlock pistol.

"It's very heavy, and you need to push it to walk or pull it with a horse." Alan pointed to the cannon's wheel base.

Ivan was puzzled: "But we cat orcs are good at stealth and assassination, once the speed slows down, our role can't be played, and we are much weaker than the lion clan." ”

"So I'm going to have another artillery team, and these artillery will be selected from the more powerful races.

Ivan and Natasha, you are the deputy minister of the military department, and you are responsible for the selection of people, whether the other party is a slave or a free man, you can be hired. ”

Eren slowly explained his plan, but Ivan and the other assassins heard another meaning.

Eren is ready to forge other classes and integrate the multi-ethnic groups of the village!

With the increasing number of slave teams in Tomorrowtown, and the increasing number of freedmen promoted in advance, the race of the freedfolk in Tomorrowtown is no longer dominated by cat orcs, but the lion tribe accounts for half of the group, half of the cat tribe, and half of the other races.

As the orcs of the military department fell into deep thought, the chatter of the other blacksmiths reached their ears.

"Mr. Abel, what do you think of the cannon?" A senior blacksmith in the industry asked.

Abel didn't look at the wheel, stared at the drawing for a while, recalled the barrel structure of the flintlock pistol in his mind, took a few seconds to understand, and said: "After the barrel of the flintlock pistol is enlarged, it is a cannon." ”

"But what about the bullets, the flintlock pistol has very small bullets." The blacksmith asked further.

"Then make the bullet bigger, and the amount of gunpowder should also be increased."

Abel's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he deduced for a moment in his head, believing that the new weapon would be several times more powerful than the flintlock pistol.

In his opinion, the larger the bullet becomes, it can hit more people, and it can even produce a violent shock wave of the explosion of a black powder canister, and even if you are not shot, you will be injured by the shock wave.

After listening to Abel's analysis, the blacksmiths exchanged their heads for a while, and they all felt that it made sense.

"Awesome idea!"

"But the amount of gunpowder increases, and the large barrel needs to be made of better materials, otherwise it will be blown up."

A blacksmith continued to wonder if he had been forging the barrel of a gun a lot lately, and he had his own understanding of the barrel forging.

There is a risk of exploding the musket, and each shot will make the barrel lose its quality and become more and more fragile, while the cannon will increase the amount of gunpowder, which will make the barrel withstand a more powerful impact, and if the material is not strong, it will definitely not be used many times.

Alan was relieved to see that the orcs realized the problem of material science, "Don't worry about this, the steel smelted by the converter is much better than before, and it can be used to make cannon barrels." ”

Once the material science problem has been solved, the next step is the step-by-step development work.

With Alan present, the research and development step was directly skipped, and he had a ready-made method of making cast steel cannon molds in his mind, and after recalling it for a few seconds, he roughly explained the drawings on the spot, so that the orcs had a preliminary impression of the cannon making process.

To make a cast steel gun body, it is first necessary to use sand, water, clay and other materials to melt the metal to form the corresponding barrel mold.

Wait until the cast steel billet is formed, forged, and the center hole is drilled, the outer circle is cut by the boring machine, and then the qualified barrel is drilled out by the steam drilling machine.

After that, there is the difference between the forging of the rear gun and the front gun, Allen already has rubber on his side, and breath holding is not a problem, and theoretically the threaded gun latch for making the rear gun will work.

With little choice, Alan had the rear-loading cannon on the agenda.

The huge cannon body, the rear-loading bolt, and the novel technical ideas made the blacksmiths fall into the storm of learning again.

"This time, the boring machine tool should be more powerful."

"I don't know if the steel tools for converter steelmaking can be used."

"If it's scrapped, I'll make another one, what are you afraid of!"

Blacksmiths take more classes and know that the quality of the material will determine the maximum of their forging ability.

This class has been going on for a long time, and after listening to the class, the orcs are groggy and need to go home to rest and digest the knowledge they have learned about making cannons today.

Alan was also a little tired after a day's lessons, so he ended the class and went back to rest.

With the opening of the biology class in the classroom, he had to go to the school every day to impart knowledge, and he had taught a group of orc teachers before, who basically learned the first half of junior high school biology.

Due to the long-term five-in-a-row teaching, the biology teachers have been able to learn the biology books by themselves, so the later biology classes do not need to be brought by Allen, as long as he takes a biology class every day, the biology teachers can understand by themselves.

Biology classes, physics and chemistry classes are about to be opened in the near future, and Alan also needs to spend a lot of time teaching in the school.

At least he could be freed from school until the orc teachers were able to teach themselves physics and chemistry completely.

Alan came out of the steel mill, passing by the place where the orcs were eating in a big pot, and the smoke curled up, and he took the initiative to stop.

A group of green-skinned orcs have gone through the daily training of hot and sweaty, and they have long been extremely hungry, no matter what is in the big pot of rice, they will bury their heads in a hard meal and be happy.

The cat-eared orcs wagged their tails and their ears were linked, and they ate very happily.

"Lord Allen, would you like a bowl?"

The lion slave in charge of the cooking wagged his cheerful tail and filled a bowl of white rice with ten fat and lean slices of meat, green vegetables, and slices of local fruits.

"Well, let's have a bowl."

Alan sat on the side of the road to eat, and the soldiers were overjoyed and gathered around to talk to Allen.

"Lord Allen, I hit a bird today, haha, isn't my shooting skill very good!" A cat ear said excitedly.

As Alan ate, his chewing mouth suddenly stopped, and he asked, "What kind of bird is that, it can't be a pigeon, right?" ”

"It's not a pigeon, Lord Allen, don't worry, the little carrier pigeon is a good friend of our assassins, and we have to rely on them to transmit information after collecting information, how can I use the pigeon as a target." Cat-eared orcs are embarrassed.

"Then you can't shoot birds indiscriminately in the future, those birds will be of great use to our town of tomorrow." Eren frowned, he didn't like orcs who shot birds at will.

After more than two months, the birds around Tomorrow Town have been tamed by his beast language, which can show that the forest birds in the territory of Tomorrow Town are his eyeliner, and shooting them may make his beast language more effective, so that some birds who have opened their minds think that orcs are not trustworthy, so they will no longer help Alan.

"Don't shoot at animals, shoot whips if you want to practice."

Alan wanted to say that everyone is responsible for protecting animals, but when he glanced at the pork in the bowl, he swallowed the words back into his stomach and didn't say it.

The orcs did not understand why they had to protect animals while eating their meat every day...... However, Alan must have a deep meaning that ordinary people can't understand, and orcs who don't have a high IQ enough just need to agree without brains.
