Before the official start of winter, Leo received the good news that the heating line finally covered all four major urban areas of Drifting Snow City.

Based on the city's main roads, heating pipes are connected to each residential area and connected to the radiators in the home, and the water that is recycled will be generated by the convection of cold and heat.

The relocation of scattered villages in the Northland has basically ended, and the expanded Drifting Snow City can fully meet the living needs of everyone, and the rich employment demand has also made those villagers feel at ease to move, and since then the Northland has basically nothing to do with the word freezing to death.

"The teacher seems to be very happy."

"The inhabitants live and work in peace and contentment, and of course I am happy to be a lord."

“……”

"What do you guys look like?"

Leo wants to cry, does he usually give people such a bad impression, can't he have a common heart and have a little moral feelings?

The research on repeating weapons has finally progressed, but it is not because the craftsmen have finally figured out the principle of Leona Rausch's pneumatic reloading.

Their solution was much simpler and crude, so when Leo got his hands on the "semi-automatic rifle" with the magazine bent around the barrel of the gun, he was really amazed.

The pneumatic principle could not be solved, and the apprentices made a kind of annular magazine, which was full of bullets, and every time the bullet was fired, there would be a linkage arc to open the empty magazine, and the new bullet would naturally be squeezed over.

This new design can only be reluctantly classified as a drum class, and it can fire 25 rounds in a single load, which can be said to be a breakthrough progress.

"This is a flawless device?"

Leo suddenly thought of this question, and instead of having to pull the bolt again for a single shot, this ring rifle could keep firing until the drum was empty.

"Insurance? Does it mean a switch that locks the paddles? ”

"Don't worry, it's already being designed, and the parts aren't ready when the prototype is ready."

"After that, a spring rod will be added in the center of the paddle, and as long as you press it, it will block the paddle and lock the fire at the same time, you see that the small hole in this position is reserved for locking."

Craftsmen have obviously grown a lot more than before, and no longer they can only do one thing by saying one thing, and most people have begun to think about problems spontaneously, such as the problem of gun insurance.

The apprentices don't grovel at every turn when they report to work, not because they don't respect Leo, but because those ideas have subtly changed them.

However, the shortcomings of this new weapon are also obvious, and the reload must be changed completely, and it must be stuffed.

Although they found a temporary alternative, the capacity of the magazine itself was limited, and any more would cause the paddles to jam and not be able to push.

"What reward do you need?"

This group of apprentice craftsmen has accomplished many things that the old craftsmen did not expect, and it is too unreasonable not to give them some rewards.

"My lord, this is what we should do....."

The young apprentice said very reluctantly, and at first glance it was hard and modest, so why bother, Leo coughed lightly and gave the brute hammer a look.

"Little cubs, the lord will let you say it, all the girls are as hypocritical"

"I want to join...."

"Louder!"

"I want to join the Academy!"

This kind of communication between master and apprentice is completely different from himself and the students, and Leo found it very interesting, and just took a sip of his teacup

"I want to join the research institute and do research with El senior!!"

Seeing the young apprentice's blushing face and thick neck shouting, Leo almost squirted out of the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, and quickly drove out all the thoughts that should not be in his head.

Satisfying the desire of the leader, the other apprentices wanted much more ordinary, allocated better housing, increased wages, and hot spring rolls in Blackstone Town.

…….

Fran thinks Leo has been a bit weird lately, and he always sneaks into the basement, and when the new building is built, the underground space that was dug up has been re-strengthened and made into a basement, and there is a big iron lock hanging from it, and only Leo has the key.

Recently, Leo always ran down secretly in the middle of the night alone, and it would be a long time before he returned to the fifth floor with a flushed face, and opened the window to blow the wind, as if to dispel the smell on his body.

Fran, who finally couldn't help herself, took action.

In the building at night, the office staff had already gone back to their respective homes, and the embarrassed elf was caught and sent to the workshop to burn the road during the day, and he would also sleep with May.

Leo poked his fingers out of the door and made sure that no light was shining through the crack in Fran's room, and then he pressed his steps down the stairs to the door of the basement.

As soon as the torch was lit, the whole person was so frightened that he almost stuck to the wall, and Fran didn't know when he was already waiting here, maybe he had waited too long and fell asleep.

"Hey, wake up, I'm going to catch a cold when I sleep here"

"Hmm...no, I still want to catch the adulterer...."

Fran was confused, and the words she said made Leo cry and laugh, what did she misunderstand, she just wanted to carry Fran back upstairs, but saw Fran brush open her eyes, break free with her backhand, kick the wall, and jump back to the door of the basement.

A set of actions flowed smoothly, and there was not even a trace of dust splashed on the ground, and Leo couldn't help but applaud when he saw it.

"You're finally here! Sure enough, it's a cellar! ”

"Where did you learn this word..."

Actions are more problematic than justification, Leo took out the key and opened the heavy iron door, and as soon as he opened the door, a strong aroma emanated.

"Is this ..... wine?"

Fran sniffled, it was indeed the smell of alcohol, but it was a little different from what she usually drank.

"How do you feel rancid...."

"I don't feel that way when I get used to it, do you want to try it?"

Leo hugged a jar and beckoned to Fran, since it was exposed, there was no need to hide it, the two of them carried the wine jar and the cup on the rooftop, the moonlight is good today, wouldn't it be nice to drink wine and enjoy the moon?

I've been thinking about this since before the house was rebuilt, and although I haven't found rice in this world, I can still get it with wheat and barley used in Daqu wine.

The temperature in Drifting Snow City made it difficult for koji to ferment, so the idea was not until the heating was completed, and solid-state fermentation could finally begin.

Unlike most distilled spirits in the world, the liquor made by this traditional method is extremely strong, but it is not actually delicious, but rather a feeling of choking.

The moon in the other world is as round as the one in his hometown, it is such a glass of wine, the hot and spicy lower belly drives away the cold, and also drives away the nostalgia that is not there, Fran only drank a small glass and his face turned a little red, and he stuck out his tongue spicily.

"Huh? Are you crying? ”

Leo sniffed and simmered again.

"Spicy"
