Chapter 55 Salesmanship

Siva: "Some of them are, but there are also some of them who only know how to kill, and they don't have any skills. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIf you change places, like the Gotland that you and I both know, guess what kind of people they will become? I can't care too much about the past of my people, all I can do is let them stop doing evil. Even with these aliens, all I can do is guide. ”

Although reluctant, Hu Ge was convinced.

"I see what you mean, listen to you one more time, old friend. Hopefully, knowing that Gotland, their approach is not too out of line...... I forgot to mention one thing, I thought that these kobolds were the subordinates of Miss Mage, but now I see, it is impossible for her to restrain such a large group of creatures, but those little things are always called by Brother Long, who is their head?"

Siva: "I don't know, I still need to observe...... I've also forgotten one important thing -- we've got to get the secret of that strange flamethrower! at all costs! I have an idea......"

Even the most optimistic Liu Jingtian didn't expect that in a few days, someone would really send a 'new copy gift package', and it would be the most useful foreign aid in future operations, Captain Hu Ge.

The only problem is that the captain asks for a little more.

A tenth of all seized. This one can be endured;

The kobold built him the best ship, such as the five-masted model in the shipyard. This one is harder;

At the same time, a lot of artillery must be installed on this ship, and the method of use must be taught and taught. This one is very dark......

"I guess the first two can be discussed. Let's be honest, that ship model is just a few people doing it idlely, and it won't be able to play at all in the short term. But the cannon is not good, although the cannon body is technically difficult and not so easy to imitate, but the black powder is simple, even if it is put in a wooden barrel, it is a big killing weapon. Xu Ping'an analyzed.

In the end, it was Liu Jingtian who made the decision: "Give it to him! There are also several generations of artillery, and build him a strengthened version of the Tiger Squat Cannon! It is much more backward than the one we have at hand." Moreover, after a year, I estimate that I can make a rifled rear loading gun, and I am not afraid of him. ”

After several rounds of negotiations, both sides were happy:

After the battle, Captain Huge could pick two things from all the captures - no doubt, the ship was the most valuable.

At the same time, a four-masted ship on the slipway is to be built for him within a year.

That's the equivalent of taking three boats for nothing.

Finally, all three ships were to be equipped with small cannons, and the total number could not be less than six per shipβ€”the other side had calculated, one in front and one in the rear, two on the left and two on the left and right, and there could be no less.

As for this kind of 'small cannon for foreign trade', it can only be made now......

The other side had the head of the Siwa regiment to inspect the goods, but everyone was under little pressure - as long as the shrinking cannon was better than the catapult, the task would definitely be completed.

After the winter of endless war, the New Year is over, and there will be another war......

Kobolds indicate emotional stability.

Now they are very well-informed: Brother Long has developed a traitor, and he often breaks the news!

Moreover, the Lizard Fortress and the Thousand Caves Hills in the south have always had convoys running on both sides, vegetables and salted fish in the north, wood and metal textiles in the south, and now there are all kinds of gossip.

Although his appearance is a little frustrated, the kobold is also a militarist, and in some things, he has a very good sense of smell. The kobold who has fought before, it is estimated that the king has started to make cannons frantically again, this time, it may be another 'reckless wave', right?

As a result, those numbered smart guys began to spontaneously lead their subordinates to strengthen combat training, and by the way, they practiced with human adventurers who drilled holes, and their lives were very fulfilling.

There are more things for the traverser to worry about.

"You've only built a ship and a half, and you're thinking about pirates...... Even with the help of this local captain, two months later, there were only four boats. Not to mention, our kobold sailors simply did not dare to sail far. Oops, forgot one thing! There is not much saltpeter and brimstone!"

Xu Ping'an now has a bad problem, and he mutters as soon as he works.

"You underestimate me too much, the old man told the captain Hu Ge that there are many materials needed to make cannons, silver, charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, tung oil, herbs, etc., and you need fresh animal blood, preferably from large livestock, which must be very, very fresh...... He took the kobold to the far sea, and looked for a passing merchant ship. ”

β€œ...... Very, very fresh livestock blood...... You just said that you want to get fat! There is one more person who has been cheated by you...... Wait! If he gets something, what are you going to buy it for?"

The bioradar is on again.

"Don't worry, it's the head of Siwa who is brave and brave, saying that he has a little money on hand, and he can help us make up a bargain, and then we can sell him some bargains. ”

β€œ...... Such a shrewd person ended up being cheated by you......"

Since you want to rob pirates, you have to do a lot of work.

Not only did the kobold sailors intensify their training, but they also had to rebuild the current ships and install them with cannons - a specially designed inclined wooden rack, which was pushed up the rack by recoil after the cannons were fired, and pins jammed the gun wheels.

Then, the dogheads are cleared, loaded, and the pins are released, and the cannons automatically return to their positions due to gravity, not to mention the various pulley sets that prevent accidents.

However, because of the lack of confidence in the strength of the deck, the three boats - 'Bacheng', 'Wangcai 01', and 'Wangcai 02' were only equipped with a minimum of eight guns - one six-pounder at the bow and stern, and three 'foreign trade cannons' on the side side.

The four-masted ship is still being tossed and turned - it is really designing, building, and crossing the river by feeling the stones.

The foreign trade cannon was also soon introduced - a six-pounder gun with a shorter barrel and thinner walls, somewhat similar to the "Caron gun", but the barrel was appropriately lengthened to make it 'look' less bad - after all, the commander of Siwa had seen the six-pounder gun.

The matching ammunition is easy to do, solid bullets, scattered bullets, and chain bullets have been developed, and now, the kobold blacksmith has been able to produce iron chains.

In order to ensure safety, the gunpowder was reduced by half, and the range of fire was of course reduced, but the local turtle did not even invent the catapult, and the range of more than 500 meters was enough to abuse vegetables.

During the acceptance of the head of Xiwa, Liu Jingtian had a hard time playing because he had a special 'water-blending' technique.

"This weapon...... Why is the thing you called a cannon so much smaller than the last time I saw it?"

"That's too expensive, my ancestors have only saved some of it for generations, how can we say that we can give it? In order to make cannons, the children are hungry and thin, and we are very poor!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a lump of iron, right?

"Oh my God! This is steel, the top steel! Look at this pattern, you look at this color, it's all top tempered pattern steel...... When you touch the inside of the cannon, it is all polished like a mirror, and you need to be polished by a top craftsman with your own hands -- your hands have to be as thin as a woman! If you are not careful, a cannon will be scrapped, and as a result, hundreds of catties of steel will be wasted......
