After returning to the Empire from Newland, I seemed to be treated much better, especially with my own office and the soft chairs that the technicians had specially made for their enjoyment.

Well, it's actually the "boss chair".

Leaning back deeply, I was thinking about a question.

I'm really looking for abuse, I don't know how to enjoy a good time, but I'm asking for trouble because of my kindness.

Because of this incident, it has completely confirmed the number one position in the ability of the General Staff Headquarters to deal with certain "special incidents." Then, they didn't feel safe leaving me there, especially after the higher-ups had investigated the details, and that insecurity was even stronger.

The first to bear the brunt is the welfare college with the priority goal of creating "monsters", the first academy of Imperial Gondor, which is actually on the ground selling dog meat with sheep's heads, because most of the students there are either orphans or voluntarily apply for admission, so even if one or two hundred people die every year, no one will pursue anything.

How would it be if they found out that the test subject they had lost was by far the "conciliator" with the highest fusion rate, and that the "conciliator" was in the camp that was "hostile" to them.

This was what the General Staff Headquarters was most worried about, so they finally came up with this compromise.

The Development Bureau, ostensibly it is subordinate to the Logistics Department of the Military Department, but in fact the departments at this stage do not belong to either side. Its functions and the abilities it has displayed are such that people on both sides do not want to offend them.

Besides, most of the people who engage in scientific research are soft and hard guys. They act more according to their personal preferences.

But then again, compared to the aristocracy, the development bureau also has more cooperation with the military. So, it's safest to stuff me here.

It's like a double-edged sword in its sheath.

Ever since I came back here, Ellie had been running to me when she had nothing to do, so that all the things about the projects she was in charge of could be heard from her mouth.

For example, soldiers on the battlefield complained about the slow reloading speed and cumbersome procedures of rifles made by dwarves.

(Much better than the old-fashioned flintlock pistol!, the complainers, really...... ）

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of modern people, there are many problems with breech guns.

For example, breech guns reload faster than flintlock pistols. Before each firing of the flintlock pistol, the * is loaded from the front end, and then the * is compacted with the gun strip before the bullet containing the ball can be loaded. (If the pressure is not solid, the bullet will not shoot far or the direct dumb fire will not be able to shoot out.) At the same time, when you stab the chamber with the gun, there will be times when you accidentally misfire. There are many people who are wounded or killed by their own guns while reloading. In addition, the flint and steel of the flintlock pistol will accumulate carbon on its surface after being used for a long time, resulting in the ignition device being unable to ignite.

The breech gun, although it perfectly solves these problems, is faced with new problems.

Just like a flintlock pistol, it has to be loaded with a bullet for each shot. Once there is a close encounter, the original advantage becomes a skimming. If you add a bayonet or a fighting dagger, your own weight will increase and the amount of training will also increase.

Not only do you have to train in shooting, but you also have to train in hand-to-hand combat skills like ordinary soldiers. (I think this is the direct reason for the complaints of the "young master soldiers".) ）

The newly improved one-piece bullet, although it seems to be faster, is actually not. Because before each reload, the shooter must tear open the front end of the oiled paper that wraps the bullet.

In combat, this is usually done with one gun in one hand and the other to be freed up and the teeth to complete. This makes the shooters fill their mouths with butter if they are not careful, or the oil paper is mishandled and the chamber is blocked.

Elle once came up with the idea of a rifle that could shoot continuously, which looked somewhat similar to today's automatic rifles. Suffering from the inability to solve the power problem, it was delayed.

At that time, I was also curious, so I casually came up with my own ideas.

It was an idea to borrow steam as a power, just like a "steam tank", with steam as a power. Moreover, in the case of rifles, due to their own power requirements, the "power furnace" can be considered to be reduced.

As a result, one problem is solved, and Elle throws up a second question. Although the first problem is only solved in the literal sense.

Since you want to ensure continuous shooting, you should consider adding a magazine to the rifle, or an external magazine. Either way, the current paper-wrapped bullet can't hide the demand. (Imagine a bullet case made of paper, which will be deformed if the external force is slightly greater.) ）

So, I had to tell Elle about the idea of making bullet shells out of metal.

When Ellie hugged me excitedly and shouted, "Anna, you're a genius," I accepted against my will. Especially, those two "white rabbits", when they were squeezing and squeezing on my chest. (You don't have to think about it, how could I have such a good brain.) It's just the work of the real geniuses. ）

"However, if you want to make shells from metal, you need to have a high level of metallurgical technology, which seems to be unknown in the Empire now. ”

Really......

Elle threw out a new question in an instant.

"If only we could make a prototype gun!"

may feel that everything is empty talk now, and Ellie, who was originally very excited, suddenly became a little deflated.

Looking at Ellie's face, I casually said, "You can ask the dwarves? Maybe they have a solution." ”

"Yes, the dwarves are the most skilled in ironmaking, I didn't think of it!" Ellie rushed over and hugged my face with a muma, "You're really my lucky star, I should have come to you sooner if this was the case." ”

"By the way, if you ask the dwarves for advice, then why not go to the dwarven kingdom? Maybe there will be a bigger gain! ”

Ai Li walked out while playing her little ninety-nine, "Just do it, I'll go and apply for the report here." ”

And then, there was no then.

When I straightened up and reconfirmed, the appointment on the table. I shrunk myself deeper, and the soft chair like "Simmons" enveloped my body completely, like a "chair monster".

(Why is this happening!How can the rest that I got so hard to get happen???)

Since the staff headquarters is so easy to release people, you must know that once I enter the dwarf kingdom, I have to do something out of the ordinary, they can't control it.

It wasn't until this moment that I suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Everything seems to have been planned, and the pit has been dug a long time ago, just waiting for you to jump into it.
