Chapter 18: The Age of Crooked Technology
Blacksmith shop in Datie Village.
The blacksmith orcs had already made up for it, and they got up in the morning to follow the public, and watched the trial of the landlord with relish, secretly lamenting that the landlord was worthless these days, and I don't know what Alan wanted to do.
The fall of the landlord was an earth-shattering event for the whole village, and the shaking was no less than that of the old priest, and the blacksmiths were not blind to what was going on outside the window.
"Lord Allen overthrew the landlord, who will be the landlord in the future?"
"Well, I don't know, but the landlord's land must belong to the village chief, and now the village chief is the biggest landlord."
"I always feel that Lord Allen is too reckless, a little bad, and Morning Glory Town may be in trouble after knowing this."
In the end, someone asked Abel what he thought, but Abel burned the stove alone and replied:
"If you have this time to talk about other people's affairs, it is better to complete Lord Allen's task first, and when the sky falls, there will be the village chief on top, and we blacksmiths only need to be responsible for the ironmaking and steelmaking in front of us."
The blacksmiths were speechless and were about to say something, when they saw Alan walk in with a grin.
"Well said, the great blacksmith should be like this, working without distractions."
The little blacksmiths were ashamed, turned their heads and began to work seriously, proving that they were not lazy.
"Stop what you're doing, I'll bring you all the machine tool designs you want." Alan Goyan holds the design drawings in his hand.
"Blueprints!"
The blacksmiths were just about to work, and when they heard the blueprint, they immediately did not calm down, put down the shovel and hammer in their hands, and hurriedly gathered around, staring at the design with big eyes, all staring at the design, impatient, like an orc who had never seen a beautiful woman.
Abel also put down his work and asked eagerly: "Do you have a design drawing for the machine tool of carbon spring steel?" ”
"Everyone has learned, spring steel is not a problem, today we talk about lathes, boring machines, milling machines, planers, grinders, drilling machines ......"
Alan believes in his ability to teach, and he has also played the game plane of farming in the past, so he knows what to teach.
Even if some machine tools can't be built now, popularizing science in advance and drawing a big pie for everyone to look forward to it can also catalyze the blacksmith's enthusiasm for work.
In the past, the farming game he played was to land on the Terran plane, but now it is the Orc Race, the Orc has great energy, and is better than the Terran in terms of smell, hearing, vision, etc., and this advantage can make it easier for the Orcs to process objects, so the estimation of the teaching time is also different.
As for whether the orc's pitiful intelligence can be comprehended...... Allen's top-notch teacher power is not imaginary.
He spread out the design drawings according to categories and explained them one by one.
"I know some of you already know how to make a simple lathe, but I want everyone in the blacksmith shop to learn the trade, including the blacksmith apprentice."
"What is a lathe, it mainly uses a turning tool to turn the rotating workpiece, and can be processed with reamers, reamer drills, drills, taps, dies and knurling tools, and the lathe ......"
"In ancient times, there were bow lathes with pulley bow rods, that is, two or three turns of rope were wound around the pulley, and the rope was framed on an elastic rod bent into a bow, and the bow was pushed and pulled back for turning."
"In our recent era, someone has designed a lathe with a foot pedal and a connecting rod rotating crankshaft, and the efficiency has greatly increased......"
Alan stared at the expression of each orc, each sentence was an extremely condensed essence sentence, and then adjusted the mysterious speed and rhythm according to everyone's absorption speed, so that the orcs listening to the lecture were stunned, and their brains were as full as possible to think.
As the details of the lathe were thrown out one by one, the orcs seemed to really see the 3D stereoscopic perspective of the lathe spread out in front of their eyes, and the role of each part was imprinted into their minds.
Speaking of this, Alan paused, waited for everyone to digest it for a few minutes, and felt that it was almost over, and then spread out a design drawing, and said:
"After learning the knowledge of the lathe, the next thing is the knowledge of the boring machine, how are you digesting the knowledge of the lathe now, can you continue to listen?"
The boring machine is very important, it is not an expert in making machines, but it can make all kinds of handmade tools.
Precision parts of steam engines require boring machines, such as cylinders and pistons.
The outer diameter of the piston can be measured from the outside while cutting, but to meet the accuracy requirements of the cylinder inner diameter, it is difficult to say, and it is difficult to complete the accuracy requirements in this area by general machining methods, so a boring machine is required for precision machining.
Moreover, the barrel of the cannon also needs to be processed by a boring machine (drilling machine), and it is impossible for Allen to give up the cannon.
The orcs' ears moved slightly, and when they heard that there was a knowledge explanation to come, the blacksmiths were hungry and greedily absorbed the knowledge of the boring machine industry.
I have never heard of this knowledge before.
Although he didn't understand it very well, Eren said it in such detail, as if he had seen it himself, and the orcs naturally worshipped it.
These machines were built in preparation for the steam engine of the future.
With the steam engine, Allen's great gun-making business developed from scratch and entered mass production mode, skipping the backward arquebus and going straight to the gun.
Alan remembered that in the days of the steam engine, there were already arquebuses and pistols.
However, when he entered the beast plane, the game introduction of the main god ultimate competition mentioned the sentence "...... in the period when cold weapons prevailed", indicating that the beasts are still mainly fighting with cold weapons.
Maybe it's because guns are too expensive to build and thermal weapons haven't been on the table for major wars?
Or was the inventor of the thermal weapon considered a heretic by the flame-worshipping orcs, and then executed by the rotten power class on absurd grounds such as "he was stealing the flames of the gods" in a world of primitive worship everywhere?
Alan lectured, paused slightly, and asked Abel, who had been to the royal city as a blacksmith apprentice:
"When you were an apprentice in the royal city, did you ever hear of a spear that used gunpowder to cause great damage?"
Abel listened attentively to the manufacturing knowledge of the boring machine, and the industrial idea was coldly transferred to the gunpowder, and he felt a burst of inexplicability, and subconsciously replied:
"Is Lord Allen talking about a fireworks, I know that it can send gunpowder into the sky and explode to form colored fireworks."
"But Mr. Allen, let's get back to business, I think boring machines are more interesting than fireworks." Abel pursed his lips, not hiding his disdain for the fireworks.
That thing is an item for entertaining the public, and the lethality is naturally there, but it is definitely not high.
The corners of Allen's mouth twitched slightly, and hearing Abel say this, the Lionheart Kingdom's weapon technology tree seemed to be really crooked.
Why firearms did not develop the famous reputation of killing gods in war, Alan didn't know, and Abel didn't know.
The disjointed intelligence is Allen's shortcoming, and when the assassin team is formed, they are sent to Altair Town, everyone is an intelligence agent, and an intelligence network is formed with Datie Village as the center, and the information sent to Allen's ears is sent to Allen, and at that time he knows what the situation in the country is.
"I hope Lionheart's weapon tech tree is really crooked." Alan muttered.
If Lionheart didn't pay attention to thermal weapons, and only used arquebuses as fireworks and torches, blindly worshipping cold weapons from swords to flesh, then the fun would be great.
