The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 132 A Heavy Hammer Magic Cannon "Sasha Maria"

The fracture left by the casting really affected the appearance of the cannon too much. In order to deal with this part, Ickert ordered the carpenters and blacksmiths to polish it overnight, and finally made the barrel smooth again.

Of course, the cannon has been built here, and it is not yet a complete success.

The installation of the gun mount is second, the key is the propellant.

In the past, the firearms produced in the territory used low-level spells as propellants, but the cannons produced today weighed more than two kilograms of shells alone (non-lead ammunition, lighter in weight).

This is already a huge difference for bullets measured in grams.

However, compared to ordinary clay model artillery, the performance of the artillery made by Ikert is obviously better. The steel is not cast iron with higher brittleness, but low carbon steel with better toughness. Not to mention, the vacuum cast cannon The overall mechanical properties are also better than ordinary cannons.

Ickert is very pleased that such a cannon can withstand a larger charge, but the problem is that he doesn't seem to be able to hold that much charge.

The bottleneck of the so-called magic cannon was also manifested at this time.

The cannon cast by Ickert is roughly equivalent to Blue Star's three-pound cannon. For such a light cannon, the propellant probably only needs an improved version of the third-order burst technique to meet the performance requirements of the cannon.

But the problem is that Ikert only has a third-order jungle python magic crystal in his hand, which he scavenged from the Iron Fist tribe.

But this magic crystal is not to be used to melt and cast high-performance magic conductors. Even if the third-order magic crystal is really used as a "propellant", the magic crystal will have to be replaced after a cannon can only be fired a few times. It only indicates the magic pressure level that it can supply stably, not how much energy it has).

There is only one third-order magic crystal in the entire territory. It is impossible for Ikert to use third-order magic as a charge, which will greatly reduce the persistence of firepower.

Therefore, Ikert can only use second-order magic with a lower energy density. There are a lot of second-order magic crystals in the reserve territory, a total of fifteen.

Therefore, Ickert smelted the third-order magic crystal without hesitation, and then engraved three shots of the second-order explosion on the smelted magic steel.

This move made the overall charge of the cannon exceed that of the simple third-order burst technique, but it also caused the problem of the connection of the magic circle and mutual interference.

This makes it possible for the artillery to fire due to the interference of magic power between different magic circles when charging.

However, a good magic conductor can greatly reduce the chance of this happening, and the magic pillar made of third-order magic crystals is generally considered safe.

Anyway, it is much more stable than Ratman's cheating Dimensional Stone technology.

After the launching part is built, the manufacture of the cannon has come to an end. If there is anything missing from the cannon, only the shells are left.

Thanks to perfect casting technology, new shells and bullets are molded by carpenters, and then stamped in sand boxes for uniform casting.

In the follow-up, Eckert will have a faster bullet production method, but it is not yet time to roll out that project.

The craftsmen worked hard for countless days and nights before the first cannon in the territory was announced.

When the barrel was installed on the running frame, Ickert thought it was all worth it.

"My lord, this is absolutely peerless, a rare big gun in the world!"

Blacksmith Hammer sighed, he thought that carrying a gun was majestic enough among weapons, but he never thought that he could personally participate in the making of a weapon that was even more majestic than carrying a gun.

"Yes, my lord, I am a carpenter, but I never thought I could participate in making such a powerful weapon.
Pity me, when I was in Panfis, those nobles would only let me make tables and chairs. If it weren't for you, I really didn't know that wood can exert such great power. "

Old Kent was quite emotional. He was always pursuing his own value. Every craftsman dreamed of becoming a skilled craftsman, and Ickert led them to realize this. Will his old Kent's name be recorded?

The craftsmen on the side also sighed with emotion.

Ickert also feels very useful for the compliments from his subordinates. In terms of driving the technological development of the territory, he himself has indeed contributed a lot, which is not inconvenient to admit.

Ickert, who likes to do practical things, is too lazy to make false statements.

At this time, someone suddenly suggested:

"Lord, this cannon is very commemorative as the first cannon in the territory, please name it!"

"Yes, my lord, a good weapon should have her own name, this is the tradition of the empire since the founding of the country."

"That's actually a problem."

Ickert fell into deep thought, naming the weapon or something. Although it sounds very second-hand, it is just a spiritual need.

For example, Rapa's magic gun, he has already started calling it "Miss Targaryen".

What exactly it means is self-evident.

Every day when passing by the scout team, Ickert could see him wiping the body of the gun carefully while talking love to the gun.

According to Lapa, this will allow him to raise his gun more accurately, and I don't know what kind of metaphysical bonus it is.

In short, just like the famous sword Frostmourne, the powerful artillery should have a matching name.

"It's better to call it Fire."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ickert stopped. It is rare to make a cannon, and he can't give such an inappropriate name.

"According to the tradition of the empire, it should be named after the distinguished lady in the territory."

At this time, Aris, who was watching the cannon manufacturing, suggested.

"Honorable lady?"

Ickert thought for a while, how can there be any noble ladies in Windsor, except for an unfilial magical girl, only the maids of the territory are left.

As for the name of the female rat people, this is still too advanced.

After thinking about it, Ickert finally decided to combine the names of Sasha and Maria to make up a decent name for this cannon.

"Wendsor One Year Heavy Hammer Magic Cannon——Sasha Maria, that's what it's called!"

"Sasha Maria, it sounds really nice."

Although everyone can recognize the name of this cannon as a stitch monster, they have to admit that the name is quite easy to pronounce.

Sometimes, slur is enough.

Only a certain magical girl protested.

"Protest! I protest! Teacher! This is too shameful!"

Name the cannon after her, and I will mention it whenever someone asks me about it. What a great mental pressure for the social terror living underground!

"Protesting is invalid, I can call it whatever I want."

Facing the disciple's protest, Ickert directly responded with absolute authority.

"The next step is the crucial test firing, Lapa! Find some rats from the crossbow team and push this cannon out!"

"Yes! Clan Chief!"
