Chapter 288: Rainy Season

"Alright, that's the end of this artillery test. Senior Barry, come on. Franky beckoned to Senior Barry.

"What's the matter, Frandy?" said Senior Barry walked over to this direction.

"In addition to what I said about the elevation angle of the shot, you put some more stakes near the stone walls that are being targeted. ”

"What are you doing with the stakes?" said Barry, who didn't understand what Flandy meant.

"In addition to the damage of the explosion, the shrapnel when it explodes is also very powerful, and the stake is placed to test the power of the shrapnel. ”

"Shrapnel? You mean the shredded shells?"

"That's right, it's a fragmented shell, I call it shrapnel. ”

"Understood!"

No one really thinks about the power of the blown shrapnel, and almost everyone thinks about the damage that the cannonball can do to the monster when it explodes.

This is mainly due to the fact that the artillery has appeared for too short a time, and they have been studying the functions proposed by Flandy, if it is another year or two, it is estimated that these people will have thoroughly studied the inside and out of the artillery.

"Also, the time is already very tight, I can only give you ten days to develop it, and after ten days, you must come up with the final artillery design plan and the required quantity, and then let the Ministry of Industry manufacture it in large quantities. Got it?"

"Understood, ten days, don't worry. ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. In ten days' time I will invite His Majesty to visit the artillery exercises. ”

"Yes, Lord Dean!" Hearing Flandy say that he would invite Glenn to visit, Senior Barry was overjoyed.

......

With the cannon finalized over, Frandy continues to go back to the Magic Tower to draw the circuit diagram of the telephone.

The partners all went to the Beasts continent to train, the disciples also went to school, Anita and Elsie returned to the Witton Empire, and even Tom and Jerry were not in the Magic Tower when they were looking for materials.

Except for one time when his friends came back at lunch, Flandy was undisturbed for a day.

The circuit diagram of the telephone is actually not too complicated, but he has almost forgotten it, and only remembered a little bit when he wrote the basic textbook of electricity a few days ago.

It wasn't until the disciples were taken to the magic tower by Tom in the afternoon that Flandi put down his pen and took the disciples to the Gathering Magic Grass to meditate for more than an hour.

"Teacher, I still want to drink sugar cane water...... Pei Di whispered.

"No, I just drank two big cups yesterday and ate sugar gourds, I can't let you eat sugar anymore, don't think I'm scaring you, it's really a toothache and you're fat!" Brandi sternly rejected the disciples' request.

"Okay. "Peddy couldn't be more reluctant, who called Flandy his teacher.

Returning from the Enchanted Grass planting site, Flandy found that it was only afternoon, and it was already dark.

"Is this going to start raining?" said Brandi, a little worried.

He had been living in the Oskaia continent for almost twenty years, and he had been in the imperial capital for ten years, and he knew the weather on this continent relatively well.

On this continent, the snowstorm season is from October to January, with heavy snowfall for nearly three months, while from May to August and September, it is the rainy season, during which time there is sometimes light rain and sometimes heavy rain.

Especially at the beginning of May, if there is a light rain, it means a bumper harvest in the first half of the year, and a few light rains will play a role in promoting the rice seedlings that are about to mature, so that it can produce more rice.

However, if it rains heavily, it will be miserable, and there is a possibility that the rice and other vegetables planted in the first half of the year will not be harvested, and all the grains will be washed away by the heavy rain.

Not only that, but if such a heavy rain occurs, the water of the River of Life in the east of the imperial capital will also surge, and it will even threaten the safety of the imperial capital.

"Don't rain rain, it's only three or four months before the demonic beasts will attack, in case of a rainstorm, the logistics on the human side will definitely be greatly affected. ”

Flendy looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, very worried.

No matter how powerful a magician is, a great magician, he will still be hungry if he has nothing to eat.

Of course, they would never go hungry, and the imperial capital had not experienced such a thing once or twice, and the stored grain would not starve them.

But the big war is imminent, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be gathered on the battlefield of Dukmahon, and if the logistics are not available, it will really be a big deal.

Especially the civilians, the average civilian has no surplus food at home, and they all rely on this harvest in the spring to fill their stomachs.

In the past, when there was a heavy rainstorm in the imperial capital, when the food supply was not available, they would ask the Kunmo Kingdom for food, which was also one of the reasons why the Kunmo Kingdom almost rebelled last year.

If there is no heavy rain this year, it will definitely be a good harvest year, almost all the farms near the imperial capital are planted with those high-quality rice seeds cultivated by the wheat ear farm, and they are moistened by the farm's fertilizer, and now the crops in the field are growing very well.

In the evening, the light rain finally began to fall, probably because of this incident, the partners came back from the Warcraft Continent and had already begun to prepare for dinner, but Gülen was still in the palace for a meeting.

"You eat first, I'll wait for Glenn to come back." "Sister Anne didn't seem so shy after yesterday's incident, and seeing that it was almost late at night, Glenn still didn't come back, so she asked the big guy to eat first.

"How can that work? Gülen worked so hard, let's wait for him to come back and eat together. Everyone simply left the cafeteria and waited for him in the library on the fourth floor.

There are only three exceptions: Pedy, Cathy, and Muliel, although they also want to wait for Brother Glenn to come back to eat together, but at Flandy's strong request, they still go back to sleep after eating first.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Gülen was late, and he was a little moved to see that his friends had been waiting for him.

"Well, I'm afraid I'll be back very late in the next few days, so you should have dinner first these days, and you don't have to wait for me. Gülen's face was sad, and his spirit was a little weak.

"It's so hard to be an emperor, if I would rather not be the emperor. Ted muttered quietly from the side.

"Gülen, is it because of the rainy season?"

"Yes, the people from the Heavenly Supervision Department have already come to tell me yesterday, I'm afraid there will really be heavy rainstorms this year. ”

"I hope not, we humans won't be so unlucky. ”

"Then who can say for sure? You still have to be prepared, at least Flandy's glass greenhouses can produce a lot of food, if not, build a few more." ”

"Then a little food is not enough for the entire imperial capital to eat, don't forget that there is also the army of the Duk Mahon battlefield. ”

"Doesn't Flandy have a portal? Can you go to another province and get some food?"

"I'm afraid there won't be too much food in other provinces, but it's better than nothing. ”

The partners came up with ideas that made Gülen feel a little more at ease.

In fact, what they had in mind had already been mentioned at today's meeting, but fortunately envoys had been sent to the provinces before, and most of them had already arrived.

Just like the partners said, if there is a heavy rainstorm this year, the imperial capital is not alone, after all, the heavy rain will not fall on the entire continent, some provinces may be affected, and some provinces will only have light rain.

"It's really not possible, we can ask Dennis for help, and exchange the gold coins for some livestock back, which can also solve a big problem. ”

Frandi's words made Gram suddenly open, yes, the Witton Empire doesn't grow much food, and their animal husbandry is developed there, even if it rains heavily, it doesn't have a big impact.

It's just that there are still too few people who know about this matter, and no one mentioned it at the meeting, and Gülen didn't think of it for a while.

"Hahaha, Flandie, you reminded me too timely, it's too late today, tomorrow you call Dennis over to discuss this matter, let's not ask for it in vain, just pay some more gold coins." ”

Gülen's heart was settled, and the sadness on his face was gone.

"It is estimated that there will be no heavy rain in the Warcraft Continent, after all, it is too far away, the weather is very good when we come back today, it is really not good, please Abraham do not convert the undead for the time being, there are many of those Warcraft that are hunted every day!"
