Farm tool blacksmith?
It seems that we can no longer rely on them to hand-make bullet casings.
"How did you arrange the refugees coming from the earl territory?" Yaro asked.
Dylan bowed slightly: "I imprisoned them together in the serf house."
"oh?"
Yaro raised his eyebrows: "Tell me the reason for doing this."
"They are guilty."
"What crime?"
"Leaving the earldom without permission."
Yaro did not dwell on the fact that they became refugees to escape for their lives, but asked:
"You used to be from Perrin Castle, but now you are the temporary steward of the viscounty territory. What does the matter in the county territory have to do with you?"
The general value here is: a lord's lord is not my lord, and a vassal's vassal is not my vassal.
Dylan's statement is logically wrong.
"Trespassing into the viscounty's territory without permission is also a crime."
Yaro smiled angrily and said, "I think you are just looking for an excuse to imprison and manage them together."
After a pause, Yaro added: "The influx of refugees will inevitably impact the original order, and the original residents of the Viscount Territory will be naturally hostile to these outsiders.
You punished from the position of the count, and detained the refugees in one place, taking into account the emotions of the refugees, and maintaining order in the viscount territory... The idea is good, but the method is rough. "
"Nothing can be hidden from Lord Yaro."
Dylan complimented and then explained:
"It doesn't matter whether you hold a sword in your hand or not, or it's rough or not, as long as you show this posture, it's enough."
"Build a ladder in their hearts?"
"It is also to draw a line for them, tell them what they can and cannot do, and then catch a few disobedient ones and punish them severely, so that others can understand that you are now the owner of the viscount territory."
Fishing law enforcement?
A heavy code in troubled times?
Yaro nodded: "I understand, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."
"Lord Yaro summed it up well..."
"Okay, stop flattering me."
Yarrow interrupted Dylan's flattery and waved him out: "Go and wait outside. I have something else to ask you."
After wiping his body clean and putting on slightly thicker clothes, Yaro walked out of the room. He kept rubbing his hair with a dry towel while asking:
"How many refugees are there now? How do you plan to resettle those refugees?"
"There are 578 refugees gathered now. This..." Dylan bent down and followed Yaro, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I haven't figured out what to do yet. Do you have any plans?"
Yaro heard that he was trying to trick her, but he didn't reveal it. He put down the towel and took the milk from the maid: "Do you know Lan'er Village?"
"Yes, it is a small village on the right side of the territory, with 56 households and a total of 176 people. It produces spelt wheat and wild grapes used as horse feed.
However, due to the lack of horses in the viscounty, starting from the winter of thirteen years ago, Viscount Cory changed the tax revenue of Laner Village from spelt wheat to wild grapes, specifically for making wild wine, just because the wild grapes there were used. The wine produced from the grapes will have rich fruity and floral aromas..."
Dylan said fluently.
It can be seen that he really puts his heart into what he does.
"Well, okay, I understand."
After wiping his mouth, Yaro put down the cup, raised his head and said:
"Relocate the villagers there to other places, and place the craftsmen and refugees in that village. Let the craftsmen be the leaders and help me repair some things... By the way, those villagers can also stay if they are willing to agree to work."
Burning lime, refining glass, stamping towers, purifying gunpowder, making 'soap'...
The tasks in Yaro's hands already require a lot of manpower, and there may be new needs in the future. Naturally, the more manpower the better.
"I understand, Lord Yaro."
Yaro nodded, and then took out a booklet from the table:
"Give this to the craftsmen and let them study it first and see if there are any areas that need improvement."
This is a simple stamping machine. To put it simply, it is a machine that uses multiple sets of pulleys to lift and lower boulders. It can use human power or hydraulic power.
At that time, arrangements can be made based on the specific conditions of Laner Village.
Yaro handed over another empty bullet case that had not been assembled: "Go and select a few skilled old carpenters and ask them to carve several printing plates based on this finished product. I have written the specific data and specifications in the previous booklet."
Except for the structure of the primer shell, which is a little more complicated, the other parts of the cartridge case are clear at a glance, but don't think it is very simple. The processing precision required for the bullet is very high.
If the cartridge case is slightly larger, the chamber will explode. If the cartridge case is smaller, the air tightness will be poor. If the cartridge case is unevenly thick, the chamber will explode.
Otherwise, the joke about "a big country with a population of more than one billion cannot even make bullets" would not be spread.
However, what Yarrow wants to do is not a large-scale assembly line, and the labor cost is free. It does not matter if the defective rate is higher. When the time comes, it will be enough to arrange a few more groups of people to select the finished products.
After settling the matter of bullets, Yaro was ready to solve the problem of 'guns'.
Yaro's original idea was to use magic to directly construct the barrel of the gun, with a space ring as a magazine, three cubic meters, enough to store tens of thousands of bullets. With just a thought, all tens of thousands of bullets would be fired out in an instant, which could bombard any enemy. Scum.
But Yaro has never found a spell that can withstand bullets and induce pressure.
Therefore, now we can only make physical 'firearms'.
Yarrow is going to make two kinds of 'guns' first.
The first type: the civilized stick, also known as a walking stick, can also be disguised as a magic wand. It is a standing weapon. It can be used for close attacks when the space ring cannot be exposed, and can also be used for precise shooting at medium distances.
The second type: The barrel is blocked on one side and needs to be loaded with thermal melting. Magic is used to stimulate the bullets. It does not require accuracy but only quantity. It plays a role similar to a Gatling gun and is used for short-term bursts of firepower.
The key to both lies in the barrel, but the soul of the barrel is the rifling.
Rifling is a spiral-shaped concave and convex line inside the barrel. The concave part is called the female rifling, and the convex part is called the male rifling. There is no prescribed number. It can be two riflings, it can be four, or it can be more. .
The barrel of the gun is like the syringe of an injection, responsible for locking the air pressure behind the bullet and 'steaming' the bullet out.
The function of rifling is to generate a rotational force when the bullet is 'cooked', thereby allowing the bullet to fly more steadily, farther, and with more penetrating power.
Yarrow plans to make the 'civilized stick' with 8 riflings, and the 'barrel' with only 2 riflings.
The production equipment originally prepared in Perrin Castle has been gradually moved to the viscounty area in recent days. With the help of these equipment, it is not difficult to make hollow steel pipes, but the main difficulty is to carve the rifling.
The twisting angle of the rifling is generally only a few degrees. In other words, to carve a one-meter rifling, the actual straight-line distance will be nearly 20 meters.
Moreover, Yarrow does not yet have a professional rifling lathe, so each rifling must be carved repeatedly, that is, first carved with a shallow carving knife, and then gradually deepened until successful.
In the meantime, as long as one mistake is made, the entire barrel will be scrapped.
