252: There's still time
Barracks in the upper reaches of the Rhinegu.
The eldest prince Astor sat on a high and handsome seat, his face gloomy and terrifying.
"How's it going, has that thing come to fruition? The eldest prince Astor looked at the animal skin paper in front of him, which recorded the latest information of the imperial capital, as well as some things reported by officials.
Next to the eldest prince Aster, Ming Xin said quietly: "That musket has been sent to the masters of our empire who specialize in forging weapons, although they have a general understanding of the materials used to make weapons, but it will take a while to figure out how they are made." And they demanded that it would be better if there was a good musket that they could study. ”
The eldest prince Astor frowned, and said coldly: "I can't do this thing, it's really useless." ”
As he spoke, the eldest prince Astor put down the animal skin paper in his hand, sighed and said, "Damn, although the domestic situation is calm now. But that bastard Kira has been watching us, and it's still annoying, and he might pounce on us at any point. If only there were such powerful weapons. ”
Shen Xin was on the side, and said quietly, "I'll let them speed up, I think they will be able to figure out that weapon quickly." ”
"Hopefully, I really don't want to do anything to that guy. There was a cold glint in the eyes of the eldest prince Astor.
"Your Highness, I suggest that you don't do anything to that guy for the time being, according to reliable information, now in Flying Sky City, there are two Holy Rank powerhouses in Bilischi and Valondo, and it is not easy to rob him. Mingxin hurriedly reminded.
The eldest prince's eyes were cold, and he finally lowered his head and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
Compared to the big prince who is still having a headache for the production of muskets.
More than ten kilometers away from the imperial capital, in a secret military camp, gunfire was repeated and gunsmoke was filled.
Prince Kira put down the musket in his hand and said with some excitement: "These flintlock muskets are really sharp weapons on the battlefield, as long as we have them, even in the face of the great prince with superior troops, we are not afraid at all." ”
Casivaro smiled and nodded, and suddenly a loud explosion sounded in the camp not far away, and a figure in gray robes ran out with a magic shield against it.
"Failed again!" said Adolf, dejected.
Prince Kira handed the flintlock musket to the soldier next to him, and said with a smile: "Master Adolf, you have to be careful, you are an imperial treasure now, don't be there for this little thing." ”
"Get out of the way, I really don't know what that kid in Aslan has in his head, and he actually made something like a flintlock musket, why don't you try to make a cannon similar to a magic cannon. Adolf said with a look of disgrief.
Casivaro immediately remembered the magic cannon on the Flame main battle tank, and instantly understood the reason.
"Teacher, I think I might have guessed why Aslan's was not studied. ”
"Oh, why? Adolf suddenly came to his senses, if it weren't for Aslan's lack of time to come to the imperial capital now, otherwise he would definitely be tied up by Adolf.
"Maybe it's not ideal. Cascivaro said with a weak heart.
Adolf is such a shrewd person, his eyes lit up instantly, and he understood the key to it, the power of the fireball, the key is the amount of gunpowder, and the more power is great, but it is easy to explode.
Artillery is also a truth, he tested three times, and the power of both times did not satisfy him, and the third time he increased the amount of gunpowder, and the result was a blow up, but it also instantly made them understand the principle of the explosive package.
"It turns out that this is the truth, the barrel of the casting cannon is too expensive, although it is not as expensive as the magic cannon, but the power is far from the magic cannon, which is also the reason why he did not make artillery, it's not that he didn't research, there is no need at all, I'm confused, a kid can understand things, I can't see clearly. Adolf said a little depressed.
Prince Kira looked at Cascivaro in embarrassment, not daring to answer.
Cascivaro shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it either.
"How is the flintlock musket imitation produced?" Adolf quickly recovered, and hurriedly asked.
"It has been successfully copied, but after trying it out, I found that its performance is much inferior to the flintlock musket of Flying City, and the cost is not low. Cascivaro said with some depression.
"What do you say?" Adolf suddenly came to his senses, and since he had lost to that kid in consideration, he would make a musket that was even better than him.
"The shooting accuracy has decreased, I guess it is the problem of the lines in the barrel, and I also found that the shooting accuracy of those muskets without lines in the barrel is similar to that of the muskets we made, and the quality of the barrel is not good, it is easy to heat, and if you shoot continuously for too long, it is easy to explode. Cascivaro said after a moment's thought.
"Show me that line, find your own way to solve the problem of the barrel, there are dwarven blacksmiths, and there is no way to lose this to them, but we can consider modifying the barrel to be replaceable, and when you go out on the expedition, you will bring two barrels and replace them when it is hot. Adolf took the rifled flintlock musket and left, continuing his research.
The young officer, who was in charge of musket training, ran over.
"How's the training, Awad. Prince Kira asked directly.
"Initially reached the level of operational objectives. Awad said with some weakness.
What to train musketeers, he simply doesn't know, now these trainings, in fact, he came up with it by himself by watching the battles of the Flying Army musket team, as for the combat effectiveness, he doesn't know.
"Work hard, and whether you can stabilize the situation in the future depends on you and the musketeer division. Prince Kira patted Awad on the shoulder and said.
Awad suddenly perked up, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, your subordinates will go all out." ”
Prince Kira nodded in satisfaction and left the secret barracks with Casivaro.
This secret military camp is built in the mountains, and there is a garrison division guarding it around, plus there is a magic array around the school field where the shooting is held, so even if there are gunshots inside, there is no sound outside.
"The production of muskets should also be accelerated, and it must be kept secret, and at the same time, contact Aslan, we will buy another batch of muskets, and the entire division will be fully equipped as soon as possible. Prince Kira said as he walked around.
Cascivaro nodded hurriedly and said, "Understood! Your Highness! It's just that the eldest prince has been making more and more moves recently, and I'm worried that he will do it at this New Year's festival." ”
Prince Kira said thoughtfully: "There is still time, after a while, we will recall Aslan back to the imperial capital, and at the same time let him bring the elite over." ”
Casivalro's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Prince Kira who was getting farther and farther away, and a chill broke in his heart.
