In the half month since the incident with Calado City, Flying City has gained a rare peace and tranquility.

But it was only the calm before the storm came.

Autumn is slowly receding, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Aslan saw that goose feathers and snow had fallen outside the window, and sat on the edge of the bed, and couldn't help but frown.

Mei Sa got up slowly, looked at Aslan's solemn face, and couldn't help asking, "Recently, the entire Flying Sky City area has been quiet and peaceful, and it is thriving, why is your face still so solemn." ”

Aslan was dressed neatly and slowly put the rune armor on his body.

"Winter is coming, and the orcs are coming out to plunder. ”

Mei Sha was very puzzled, the orcs were going to come out to plunder, what was the matter with Guan Fei Heavenly City?

In the last clearance, the orc tribe in the dark green forest near Feitian City had not been cleared up, and there was only one big G tribe left, and with the relationship between that tribe and Aslan, it was impossible to send troops out to plunder Feitian City.

"What does this have to do with us?" said Meisha as she turned over and said lazily.

Aslan tried not to turn around to look at the stunner on the bed.

Ever since Mei Sha said that he was Aslan's wife, he actually slept with Aslan every night, saying that he fulfilled the obligations of the city lord's wife.

Of course, they really just slept together, and at first Aslan wanted to make a small move, but after being petrified until dawn, Aslan was so scared that he wanted to move to the study to sleep, but it had only been two days of action.

Because soon Meisha heard gossip in the castle, saying that Madame Meisa was not favored, she was not a qualified city lord's wife, and she actually drove the great city lord to sleep in the study.

Meisha, who has always been determined to be fully integrated into human society, naturally does not allow such a thing to happen, but then at night, Aslan, who wants to escape to the study to sleep, is directly petrified, and then thrown into bed to 'sleep' together.

During this time, night is definitely the most bitter day for Aslan.

was thrown on the bed, his limbs were petrified until dawn, and he hadn't vented properly since he had been away from the imperial capital for so long, and he was about to suffocate himself by facing Meisha every night.

"We humans often say that we plan for a rainy day and die with cold lips and teeth. Aslan was once again a teacher.

After telling Meisha the truth of taking precautions and dying with cold lips and teeth, Meisha was still very puzzled and asked: "I can understand the precautions, but I also understand the truth of cold lips and cold teeth, I don't agree with the death of cold lips and teeth, even if they are defeated, the orcs can't really invade here, and there will naturally be imperial troops to defeat them at that time." ”

Aslan took a deep look at Mei Sha and turned to leave.

"For the sake of righteousness, national righteousness. ”

Meisha sat on the bed and let the quilt slide off, revealing the pair of full and crumbling murder weapons, which was why Aslan was so uncomfortable after sleeping with her.

Because this queen has a habit of sleeping.

No matter when and where, Aslan appeared in front of the people wearing armor, dressed in armor, in Dominic's words, this is a great lord who is charging at the front line at any time, Zhao Yun described it as the Son of Heaven Imperial Gate.

Whatever that means, the people of Flying Sky City have great respect for this city lord.

Since the rise of the Flying City, once a war broke out, Aslan has always rushed to the front line, protecting the people of the Flying City with his flesh and blood.

Every morning, the people who got up early to do business would see the Lord of Aslan wearing 'heavy' armor to inspect the city walls, and then turn around and walk towards the military camp outside the city.

Many people have long heard that in winter, orcs like to enter Andra State in groups to plunder, but some time ago, the dark green forest opened a killing ring and cut off the heads of tens of thousands of orcs, bringing great confidence to the people of Flying City.

Aslan entered the barracks, did not inspect the army, but went straight to the castle complex in the center of the barracks, which is now the largest factory in Aslan.

During this time, Aslan finally understood why Simalan's output could not be raised, not because the dwarf skills were not good, but because the manufacturing process was too primitive, although Aslan had been taught to produce in stages, but the primitive production method was the most critical reason.

Just like the Mauser 98K rifle, the barrel requirement is much higher than that of a flintlock musket, and even if ordinary dwarven craftsmen can't produce it at all, it must be forged by master blacksmiths such as Simalan.

When Aslan saw the way they produced the barrels, he couldn't help but complain.

A piece of iron sheet is repeatedly beaten and rolled up, with a stone stick inserted in the middle, and then it is burned red and forged.

In short, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is no wonder that the output has not been even higher, and finally Aslan gave up all research and went all out to develop a tool called a machine tool.

For this purpose, the magicians of the elves also made two mana source engines.

The Mana Source Engine is Aslan's name, and is actually the puppet core power drive.

After Aslan's description and detailed explanation, after half a month of hard work, the first lathe and drilling machine were studied.

The history of lathes is very long, in the ancient Egyptian era to make 'bow lathes', in the Middle Ages there were bicycle lathes, and the lathes demanded by Aslan were only the most backward ordinary lathes in the previous life.

Fortunately, in his previous life, he was born in an industrial technology college, and he had used all kinds of lathes more or less, looking at the familiar joystick, although the function was relatively simple, it was enough for turning the barrel and rifling.

Put a forged iron rod into the three-jaw chuck, then lock it, start the lathe, the three-grip chuck rotates at high speed, the turning knife is a dwarf master hundred refining alloy steel, and finally Aslan is not afraid of not being hard enough, and blessed a hardening magic.

The turning knife touched the iron bar, slowly shaking the turning tool holder, a beautiful round stick soon appeared in front of everyone, Addison and other researchers who participated in the research and development of the lathe cheered excitedly, and the dwarf masters watched Aslan operate the lathe with bright eyes, and after the barrel was finished, they installed a drill bit that was also hardened, and began to drill holes in the center of the round bar, and finally took out a pull rod, fixed 25 to 30 cemented carbide steel rings on it, and then slowly slowed down the rotation speed of the lathe, and slowly pushed the alloy steel rings forward.

After a complete set, the whole process, Aslan only took less than two hours to complete a barrel that usually took a dwarf master a day and a half to forge.

"Lord Castle, you are truly a genius. Cimaran checked the barrel again and again, and couldn't help but exclaim.

It's no worse than the barrel he forged with his own hands.

"That's where tools come in. Aslan said very pretending to be forced and tested the drill machine at the same time.

The results were unexpectedly good.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Aslan, such a machine tool could not fully meet the needs of the current Flying City, especially the production of war puppets in the future, he didn't want to be like the Empire, devote the whole country to the production of Amenon, the annual output is only two or three, which requires the help of nearly 100 magicians to achieve.

Addison and the researchers hurriedly took out their pens and recorded what Aslan said in the notebook.

The scientific research team led by Addison is very large, and after Addison settled in the Flying City, he quickly gathered many old friends who were like-minded, although Aslan has wild ideas every once in a while, but every idea makes these 'scientists' astonished.

In particular, there is also a master alchemist, Raphael.

That's right, it's Raphael, who is now only a high-level magician, and even Valondo is inferior to Valondo in the field of magic and alchemy.

Now that he had studied alchemy with Raphael, he had studied alchemy with her, and every time he went to the castle's magic alchemy room, he saw the old man with a white beard, saddled up next to a young woman with a snow-covered white hair, which made Aslan laugh.

He had completely put Valondo on his Flying City chariot.
