The king spoke, and whether Glick and the others wanted it or not, they were escorted to the royal blacksmith's shop.

The Royal Blacksmith was built on the northern side of the palace hall, where chimneys and thick black smoke curled up.

Before Greek and the others approached the blacksmith shop, they saw a small chimney about one meter high, and there were ten columns of black smoke in ten chimneys.

The Templars who were escorting them saw the complicated expressions of the merchants, thinking that the merchants were shocked, and the Paladin proudly said:

"You can see the ten chimneys, that is the royal blacksmith shop area, which is an area for ironmaking, steelmaking, and forging, where the refined plate armor of the royal city is produced, and there are definitely no blacksmith shops on such a large scale in other towns."

The small merchant next to Grek shook his head and said distractedly: "What's this, the chimneys of Tomorrow Town are much higher than this, and they occupy a very large area." ”

"Nonsense, no knowledge." The Templars glared angrily, believing that any other town was better than the royal city.

The blacksmith shop here covers an area of several hundred square meters, and ten large furnaces are smelted at the same time, making iron, iron, and forging a one-stop service, which is much more efficient than other blacksmith shops.

"He's not lying, the chimneys in Tomorrowtown are more than twenty meters high, at least seven or eight stories high." Glick sighed slightly.

The royal court guard's nostrils were wide open, and he suddenly blew his beard, feeling very angry.

"Keep that and tell the blacksmith." The guards were not strong enough to stop debating with them after roaring loudly.

"What do you say, the chimneys of Tomorrowtown are seven stories high?"

There was a lion man running out shirtless in front of him, his face was very surprised, and the expression on his face was mostly suspicious.

When the imperial court guards saw the bare-chested big lion-bearded orc, they immediately found a savior, and called out loudly: "Lord Bluesmith, you come to judge, how can there be a chimney seven or eight stories high in this world, right?" ”

Blue was the number one blacksmith in the royal blacksmith's shop, and he was as old as fifty years old, with a black and thick beard under his mouth, prominent muscular lines in his arms, and a red face and a strong body.

Greek was stunned, he saw the first blacksmith in Lionheart, it turned out that Blue was an awakened one.

If it weren't for the Awakened, it would be impossible for him to maintain such a strong body at the age of fifty.

"It's not that the seven- or eight-story chimney can't be built in our royal city, it's just that it's difficult to make, but the chimney is only used for smoke exhaust, which is not the point, the focus is on the stove."

While taking Glick into the blacksmith's shop, Blue said to himself: "Recently, I have discussed with a few old blacksmiths whether it is better to use an upright furnace or a horizontal furnace, and there is an ironworks on the outskirts of Wangcheng, and the new blast furnace is more effective in ironmaking and has more firepower. ”

Gorrik and the others didn't understand at all, and as for the royal court guards, they rolled their eyes directly, turned to leave, and no longer followed up on the blacksmith's long speech.

After Blue finished speaking, he asked again, "Did you enter the blacksmith shop in Tomorrowtown again, and how high is their stove?" ”

Greek and the others hurriedly shook their heads, they didn't have a chance to enter the ironworks at all, there were guards guarding the perimeter, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Blue didn't expect them to enter the secret stronghold of Tomorrowtown, and turned around and led the people into the replica workbench area, where a few awakened people worked together with two dozen ordinary lionmen.

Dangdangdang.

In front of the workbench, the lions are shirtless, striking the red-hot iron with sledgehammers and knocking it into the shape of an application.

Blue led the man to a forging table, and Blue picked up a large iron pipe that had already been hammered and asked the lionmen to see if the shape was correct.

Glick took the iron pipe in his hand, it felt heavy, very textured, and it should be good steel.

"Lord Blue, the flintlock pistol is a hollow round tube that has been opened." Glick doesn't know how to make guns.

"Don't worry, Recently, His Majesty has allocated funds to allocate people, and the theoretical waterwheel boring machine has been built, and now the barrel is being drilled, but the drilling is a little slow, everyone needs to wait." Blue turned around and led the others out of the palace to the great river southwest of Lionheart.

On the bank of the river stood a large watermill house, in which there was a complex mechanical equipment, and when the waterwheel turned, the boring machine began to operate, and the drilling tool was pushed by mechanical movement, and the barrel was vigorously drilled.

The waterwheel grinds a little slowly, and it drills half of the whole day.

It wasn't until the next day that the barrel was drilled through, and when Glick put the barrel in front of his eyes, he saw some small uneven craters in the round holes.

He didn't know what was going on with the barrel in Tomorrowtown, he saw the shooting process, and he couldn't see if the inside of the barrel was round.

Moving on to the other imitations of the gun, such as the mechanism for igniting black powder, the veteran craftsman speculated that the firing mechanism used the mechanism of flint friction to scrape sparks to ignite black powder, based on the memories of several people.

Most of the craftsmen in the Royal Blacksmith Shop have more than 20 years of experience in blacksmithing, and they are proficient in the design of various irons and mechanisms, and have become proficient to the point of drawing inferences from one another.

It is not difficult to scrape a spark by turning the flint by mechanical movement, the difficulty is what to use to accumulate thrust and use it to propel the flint.

"I always feel like something is missing...... blacksmiths studied and studied, and got stuck.

In fact, they are missing springs, and it is not difficult to say that springs are difficult, but several craftsmen did not think about elastic steel.

"Ahem, even if we can't make a flintlock firing mechanism, we can replace it with other methods, anyway, its function is only to ignite gunpowder." The Great Blacksmith proposes a subordinate-class scheme.

The rest of the orcs immediately got out of their misunderstandings, and felt that their eyes suddenly opened up.

Yes, there are other ways to ignite the fire.

Within a few minutes, the clever royal city blacksmiths quickly came up with an arquebus to ignite the mechanism.

Since the firing mechanism is solved, the bullet problem is also easy to solve.

Blacksmiths with a lot of forging experience have a lot of research on the softness and hardness of various minerals, and after dozens of blacksmiths cast together, it is found that lead ore is very suitable for making round bullets.

Lead metal is soft and easy to process, and it has other poisonous uses, and the craftsmen will smile and feel that they have found a treasure.

In less than a day, the round bullet made of a solution of lead was processed.

Through the efforts of all the members of the Royal Blacksmith Shop, the Royal Blacksmiths worked together to make the arquebus.

Before returning to the royal city, Glick had five days to forge, and after returning to the city, he went to the royal blacksmith shop for four days in a row, using a lot of manpower and material resources, and it took a total of nine days to quickly build a gun, and the quality was naturally not much better.

But the emphasis is on imitation, and if the first musket is successfully imitated, the king can use the whole country to make a gun.

"The blacksmiths of the whole country make guns for me, and I don't believe that they will be slower than tomorrow." So said the king.

After the cooperation and hard work of Greek and other merchants these days, they also feel that the kingdom is still saved, and the weapons of Tomorrowtown are not terrible.

As long as they were given time, Wang Cheng could also arm a musket team of several hundred men.
