Chapter 198: Pull the rifle
"Lord Allen, it's not good, the beast tide is heading south, and it is expected that it will arrive in Tomorrow City in one day."
In Allen's office, the panicked sounds of the orcs of the Intelligence Department sounded.
"What's the panic, Morning Glory Town was emptied in advance, and it's normal for the beast tide to come in advance, hurry up the military training task, and the whole team will go into battle tomorrow, and the veterans will bring the recruits." Alan was as calm as a mountain, sitting calmly on the desk.
Click, click
"Yes." The orcs in the intelligence department were originally panicked, but after seeing that Eren was still calm, he was not nervous.
Allen City Lord is not afraid, what is he afraid of.
The orcs quietly retreated, but Windsor walked over a little worriedly, the cat's ears on his head seemed to be languishing, "Young Master Allen, this beast tide is very strong, and more than 10,000 lion soldiers have died on the side of Silver City." ”
The news came from the intelligence network organization in Silver City, and Windsor was shocked for a long time when she received the news.
This beast tide was even more terrifying than the previous extra-large beast tide, and there was actually a situation where several primordial beast clans were united.
The primitive beasts are those who are intelligent beasts, born as beastmasters.
Those unintelligent beasts are considered part of the primitive beast race, but they can only be called cannon fodder, for example, the huge goblins are the cannon fodder class, as long as the goblin beastmaster is there, the cannon fodder will be enslaved.
Unlike humans, the primitive beasts did not develop an iron civilization, and the weapons they used were generally large wooden clubs.
Iron tools had never been seen at all, and even if they did, they were iron trophies they had picked up on the battlefield.
This year's extraordinary-level beast tide saw a multi-clan alliance that was rare in a hundred years, and Silver City was besieged by several primordial beast clans.
If it weren't for the support of the Moonlight Valley's large army, Silver City might have been broken today.
Having said all that, Windsor was worried about the unknown primitive orcs.
According to the biological concept of the food chain, the primitive beasts were the top kings of the food chain millions of years ago.
There are many races of primitive beasts, and there are always some unknown races with strange abilities, such as birds and beasts flying in the sky, which are characters that orcs can't guard against at all.
However, the Lionheart Country has not been infested by the bird beasts for a long time, and the reproductive ability of the bird beasts is not as strong as that of the terrestrial beasts, and their reproductive ability is not strong, and they can feed a group by occupying a territory, unlike the terrestrial orcs who have territorial disputes due to population.
"If you're worried, why don't you go to the blacksmith shop and see how the rifling machine is doing?" Alan smiled slightly, and simply rested for half a day.
I'm tired of typing, so I have to go out and take a break, right?
"Well, take a look at the rifling machine." Windsor thought of the rifled gun, and his face softened slightly.
Tomorrow City hasn't started making rifled guns yet, and she doesn't know how powerful a rifled gun is, since it's a new technology, it must be much stronger than a smoothbore gun.
Tomorrow City's breeching machine has also recently entered the acceptance period of the project, ready to test its breeching ability.
The steam engine is still used for the wire rifling machine tool, and the steam engine is a large object with low output at present, and the output of the steam engine is not enough, which limits the output of the rifling machine.
Alan took the deputy city lord to visit the blacksmith shop, but the orcs in the blacksmith shop did not receive the notice, and they did not know that Alan was coming, and they were still working in it.
It wasn't until Eren entered the blacksmith shop for half a minute that the enthusiastically working orcs found Eren standing nearby.
"Hello Ellen-sama!" Able wagged the cat's tail excitedly.
"Well, excuse me, is the rifling machine finished?" Alan waved his hand and asked him to get to the point.
Able smiled confidently, pointed to the group of orcs surrounding the steam engine, and said, "It's finished, but it's still in the process of debugging the output power of the steam engine." ”
After this period of national teaching, blacksmiths have a basic knowledge of physics, and know what is power, what is heat, what is friction, etc.
However, there are still most of the new population in Tomorrow City who are not receiving educational benefits, and Alan plans to arrange some outstanding students to become teachers after this wave of beast tides.
It is difficult to expand the school, so there are two ways to teach in Tomorrow City, one is that young people go to school and adults study on the construction site, and teachers will go to the construction site for one to two hours of on-site teaching, so as to start the universal education popularization project.
"Lord Allen, Lord Allen, how much power do you think we can maintain?"
Abel called Alan twice, pulling Alan back to the point.
"The rifling in the rifled barrel needs your guidance, although the design drawings write the rifling depth standard and rifling angle standard, but it really needs to be practiced, and it feels very time-consuming." Abel's brow furrowed, and in order to pull out the neat and graceful rifling, he realized the difficulty of making the rifling.
In case the power of the steam engine is not adjusted properly, the rifling is pulled wrong, and the rifling is pulled crookedly, and the barrel is considered a waste gun.
"Hmm." Allen personally came to monitor the data of the steam engine when it was doing work.
The little workers who circled around the steam engine were surprised when they heard that Alan was coming to operate the machine.
Alan is the author of the blueprints, and all the machine tools in the blacksmith shop are designed from Allen, and the industrial base of Tomorrow City has been brought out from scratch.
Naturally, the workers did not despise Allen, who was in charge of political affairs, but respected him even more.
They quickly clamped their tails and stepped back, then stared wide-eyed, held their breath, and focused on Allen's actions.
Alan didn't do anything, just looked at the steam engine and the rifling machine, and secretly used the identification technique.
His full-level identification technique has reached the upper limit of his native plane, and he can identify a lot of information, including the percentage of output power of the steam engine, the actual work of the rifling machine, etc.
This capability is comparable to that of a supercomputer, and with this ability, Allen can do a lot of things.
The worker was suddenly a little confused, looking at Alan in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Windsor also followed Allen's gaze to the machine tool, the whole machine is composed of two main bodies, the first is a huge steam engine, the boiler coke burns, the boiling steam has nowhere to release, gushing out from the whistle, making a sizzling sound.
The second subject is the huge horizontal rifling machine tool in front of you, with a black iron appearance, composed of crank wheels, connecting rods, sliders, rack and pinion sets, ratchet wheels, etc., which are full of physical mysteries.
If you haven't studied physics, Windsor says that just looking at the structure of this machine is completely confused, and she does not understand its structure at all.
"Let's get a worker to operate it, and the power is in third gear." Alan said suddenly.
"I'm coming!" Workers rolled up their sleeves and scrambled to the top spot.
Alan doesn't need too many people, just two people to control the steam engine.
Buzzing, the steam engine began to reduce its power and stopped working first.
When the rifled machine was replaced with a new barrel, the steam engine turned on the third gear.
After the steam engine was done, the workers, under the guidance of Allen, twisted the thin spiral and finely adjusted the output power of the steam engine.
When the rifled machine worked, the connecting rod stretched forward and backward, and the clamped barrel remained motionless.
The small tube containing the steel of the sharp tool poked forward and rotated, making an extremely sharp cutting sound.
The machine is linked, the cutting machine is retracted, and the outlet tube is rotated.
At this time, the ratchet turns, and the machinery that clamps the barrel turns clockwise by a fifth.
Then the cutter rotates again into the barrel, repeats the cutting operation just now, and pulls out the spiral rifling on the inner wall of the barrel.
The workers who had nothing to do found that they were standing in the direction of Allen looking at the rifling machine, and they couldn't see the inside of the barrel at all.
They went around to the tail of the rifled machine, leaned over and looked sideways at the barrel.
