Chapter 41: Li Dewan's New Neighbor

'Demonized Weapon' is really a cheating skill!

At present, the manufacturing process of kobold muskets and cannons is quite complicated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the pursuit of service life and weight reduction, the kobold's cannon making process is very cumbersome - because the steel output is not bad, so the inner chamber of the gun is knocked out with a thin steel plate, and the life and strength of the weapon are therefore higher than that of pure iron cannons, but it is also very laborious to process.

In the past, when polishing the barrel, the problem was solved by repeated heat treatment. For example, annealing reduces the hardness, and then uses crucible steel to make the cutter head of the machine tool, cutting the barrel, and finally quenching, carburizing, and so on.

Until high-speed tool steels can be developed, this stupid approach can only be used.

But as soon as the Tesfil Master made a move, he didn't need to be so troublesome, sharpening the barrel and barrel of the gun was as fast as cutting a turnip, and the work that had been tossed for a few days before could now be completed in less than an hour.

The cylinders and pistons of the steam engine are actually the same thing as the barrel. Because the effective time of the spell is very limited, so there is no need to use it in vain, everyone races against time, and builds more than ten matching cylinders and pistons in one go.

However, this is still far from the steam engine, and there are too many metal parts to be made......

The most difficult parts were only the first step in the long march, and the other parts of the steam engine were basically cast. In this era when there is no ion cutting and electric welding, it can only be slowly cast one by one.

The Tesfield animal protection team can only run on both sides of the steel mill and the shipyard, looking at the ideal big ship, building a shelf little by little, the first steam engine, and even the test model.

The two animal protection girls wailed: "Didn't you say that my magic helped a lot?Why is it still so slow~"

Liu Jingtian, who was squatting in the dungeon, understood very well what the problem was.

One is that the number of kobolds is not enough, and you can't engage in crowd tactics, ah no, it's dog sea tactics.

The second is that there are no large-scale iron mines and coal mines at hand, otherwise there is no need to be stingy and engage in small-scale production.

If the iron ore can be used openly, lathes and tools can be used without iron! Iron can be used without wood! Tools are upgraded, and the production speed will naturally be fast;

When making test products, there is no need to carefully calculate the size, and each part has a mark, and it will be scrapped if it is wrong.

"Forget it, it's not interesting to talk about these now, let's see which piece of land is fatter, there will be more dogs in the future, and you can occupy it. ”

Liu Jingtian held a few middle school textbooks and looked at the rudimentary map on them depressedly.

In middle school geography books, there is a map of Africa's mineral resources, but only large minerals are available, and small and medium-sized ones are disdainful to write about them. And the location is also quite vague.

The nearest iron mine is also thousands of miles away.

"There is no coal mine nearby, so it's just one word...... There's an iron in the north, it seems to be more than a thousand kilometers, and there's an iron on the border between Morocco and Algiers? there's also an iron in the south, farther away, and it's in the desert......

Liu Jingtian calculated: "In the most ideal situation, I occupy the place, and I am using the local people to open mines and work, and the kobold maintain the rule? Even so, the manpower gap of the kobolds is a bit big......

Suddenly, he remembered something: where did Hassan run away with the empty gloves of the white wolf?

Li Dewan, who goes by the pseudonym "Hassan", has now become a big man. With 2,000 cannon fodder, and more cannon fodder families, they ran all the way to the north of the Astra Mountains, south of the famous city of Marrakech, a large oasis.

Before he arrived, he had inquired from the natives - the northern village of the Astra Mountains was a fertile land with abundant rainfall and flat land, and because of the tensions between the various small tribes, there were not many inhabitants living there.

It's heaven!

Because they are separated by mountains, there is not much communication between the two places, and this is the only thing that can be heard.

Although Oluz is south of the Astra Mountains, and the road has to cross mountains, it is only a small matter for Li Dewan - these mountains are really low, like large hills, and there is no snow line.

took the guide all the way to the north, sacrificed the number one hundred and ten people, and crossed the mountains without danger, Li Dewan's heart relaxed. Looking at the green in his eyes and the scattered herdsmen in the distance, he calculated the force at hand and felt that it was not a big problem.

"Two thousand strong laborers, and a large group of families, can build a large camp. ”

The western part of North Africa, later known as Morocco, has a chaotic history, with several periods that could be called dynasties, but that's all there is - the king is actually more like the most powerful chieftain, with limited influence over other tribes.

In short, from north to south, the four famous cities: Fes, Menex, Rabat, and Marrakech, which chieftain occupies the most and has the strongest troops in his hands, then he can basically claim the king.

As a result, in the south of Marrakech, one of the four famous cities, there is a small tribe: the 'Hassan' tribe who claimed to have fled from Oluz.

Because the 'Hassan clan' was in a hurry along the way, they did not bring much other supplies except weapons, gold and silver, and livestock. Now, if you want to set up camp in the local area, you must have seeds and farm tools, etc., and you have to supplement a lot of things, so you start trading with the surrounding tribes.

Everyone is still very kind to this new neighbor, because they have inquired in advance, and they can't afford to provoke them.

Recently, because of the demons in the south, the mountain people are desperately fleeing to the north in fright, and there is all kinds of news, so many people also know a little about the affairs of Oluz:

A small family of mountain people: "This Hassan is a super thief, he can also use black magic, and he can be called a brother to the devil of hell! He led dozens of people to kill the lord of Aluz, Baba Musta, and gathered thousands of warriors!"

and forced the rest of the people to be robbers with themselves......

Those who refused to obey him were cursed by him to become little demons, but now the demons are out of control, destroying hundreds of miles of villages around Oluz, and there are no civilians who are oppressed by him, and he can't stay any longer, so he runs here. ”

A certain tribal leader was not convinced: "Oluz is so close to Agadir, which is occupied by European infidels, why is it not the black magic of European infidels? Why didn't Hassan go to the European infidels?"

"Agadir, there are a few new castles there, and Hassan won't please them there. Moreover, the governor was a European pagan, and the natives would only be taken as slaves, and no one dared to approach it. If they know the dark arts, why don't they come out in Agadir? Oluz doesn't even have a figure now, our tribe sent three warriors to see the situation, but two of them were captured by the demons, and only one escaped!"

Hearing these things, the surrounding tribal leaders were in a heavy mood, and they didn't believe it: although this Hassan looked cold and a little scary, the poor ghosts in the countryside were like this. But black magic or something, he doesn't look like a wizard at all, let's figure it out, ask his people!
