Lord of Rot

Chapter 83 The Genius of Gunpowder

After dinner, Li Qi sat in the study and found two books from the bookshelf.

One of them is written in Lurea script, and the other is written in square characters.

Lurea’s writing is the current development plan, while the square characters are used to record things that he suddenly recalled, such as the production of ice cream, such as the construction of arch bridges, such as bicycles, gears, and things he didn’t know how to make in his previous life. steam engine.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you have an idea, then throw it to your subordinates.

"Porcupine Collar Development Phase II, Obsolete," he drew on the paper.

Directly to the third issue!

Because of the appearance of lime, Li Qi decided to try to burn bricks next, and build a brick house directly in one step.

If quicklime mines are still a bit difficult to find, then the clay for burning bricks is everywhere.

"The commercial area can be planned directly, just to the east of the castle." Li Qi thought with a pen in his hand, "After the wharf is built, the wharf will be open to foreign trade, and then we will have a one-stop connection."

"Speaking of a dragon, bathing a street is very important."

Although Li Qi is not very envious of the name of "Holy Land" in Iron Rock City, but cultivating a few young ladies who step on their backs and have pedicures to enjoy life, shouldn't it be regarded as a lord's private life?

He shook his head, putting the thought behind him for now.

"There is still a team, we must redefine it"

The group of quick blade soldiers has been assigned to start selection and training, and it is estimated that they will not be able to train in a short time.

"And blacksmiths."

Hei Er is a good hand at forging farm tools, but using the method of forging hoes to make swords is somewhat excessive.

Not only blacksmiths, but carpenters are still in short supply.

The dwarf carpenter's craftsmanship is not to mention, and he can keep up with Li Qi's thinking, trying to reproduce his ideas, but the role of the carpenter is not only to help the lord research new tools.

Families moved into new houses, and carpenters had to do it for new beds and tables.

Carpenters are also needed to help build houses.

Ten more carpenters would not be enough.

Other craftsmen have more or less similar situations, either the technology is not up to standard, or the number is not enough. When the money is sufficient, technology and population are still the reasons that limit the development of porcupine collars.

"If it doesn't work, encourage having children! Anyway, I can't afford it!"

Li Qi gritted his teeth: "Give me birth, give birth to me hard!"

After bowing his head and writing for a while, Li Qi stopped writing.

He wrote down everything he could think of at this stage, and if he wanted to accomplish these goals, the porcupine collar had to be like a gear, and the madness started to turn.

I don't know if it can be done within this year, but if it is really done, the porcupine collar will definitely show some traces of "civilization".

Before going to sleep at night, Li Qi still used "Hawkeye" to inspect the porcupine collar. Now it's not just ravens, he also asked someone to raise some other birds. , opened up a useful field of vision for Li Qi, but some birds lost contact at sea because they flew too far, or entered the belly of a higher-level predator.

headland crypt,

Exploration progress remains on indefinite hold.

Betty opened her eyes, maybe it was a new day, or maybe it was still midnight.

She didn't know how long she had been stuck here.

Probably already used to the darkness, used to this space, and my brain is habitually empty.

The entire underground world was cleared in this long night, the banshee with wings was no longer visible in the sky, the little blue-skinned monsters were no longer on the ground, and the lizardmen were no longer seen swinging their tails and baring their teeth and claws in the mud pits.

The door is pushed open.

The person who came was a handsome man with corpse spots on his face.

The opponent was wearing armor and had a long sword at his waist.

Betty called the other party "Master Knight". Although she knew that this corpse was no different from that of the blue-skinned monster, and that the person behind it was the same, it did not prevent her from distinguishing the two.

She guessed several times what the person who controlled everything behind the scenes looked like, it should be ugly, and she took pleasure in manipulating corpses.

But also very gentle.

Will bring food, water, and even bathe for themselves.

Ugly and gentle, people can't help but become obsessed.

"Master Knight" stopped and placed three large packages in front of Betty.

"For me?" Betty pointed to herself.

The opponent nodded.

Betty opened the package, which turned out to be all the materials she needed.

There are also two letters attached to it, the handwriting is very beautiful.

It should be written by the person who controlled the corpse, and Betty has another image of the other party in her mind.

Ugly, gentle, and beautifully written.

"Magic gunpowder, what a strange name." Betty quickly read the first piece of paper.

This is her real connection with the people behind the scenes, and the communication of that kind of information made her go crazy with excitement, and her legs couldn't help but tighten.

second sheet of paper.

Her breathing became short of breath.

The other party did not promise her freedom, but just told her that she should work next.

Freedom, why free?She began to like this kind of life, but she couldn't see the starry sky, but if she could continue to study, the starry sky was not irreplaceable.

The other party proposed an idea that seemed crazy to Betty but she couldn't help but agree with it.

Betty knew that it was an accident and a product of failure that she made the flame that could explode, but the people behind the scenes gave a completely different idea.

He thinks this is a very successful study.

It also suggested the evolutionary direction of the product it named "magic gunpowder".

One is as a propellant. If magic gunpowder is placed in a strong enough iron pipe, then an iron pellet is placed, and then the magic gunpowder is ignited, and the iron pellet is shot out by the force of the explosion. Its power may be able to shoot Wear iron plate.

If it is applied on a large scale, ordinary farmers can quickly master the skills of using this weapon as long as they are trained.

The so-called invincible cavalry charging on the road will become a meat target for stupid suicide!

The other is to increase the power of the explosion. It is imagined that this magical gunpowder can be stuffed into a sealed and strong enough iron can, and then thrown out to detonate. The power can be imagined. No matter how strong the castle is, it will be opened because of it. The gate, and this kind of thing named "cannonball" can be used by ordinary people.

The other party even proposed that a super-large iron pipe could be made, using magic gunpowder as a propellant, to directly shoot out the iron pot filled with magic gunpowder, which would be farther and more accurate than the siege catapult.

Think about setting up such a terrifying weapon in a war, and then knocking down the seemingly solid city walls of the place.

"Explosion!" Betty seemed to open the door to a new world.

She has studied with her teacher for a long time, but she has some talent for explosions.

If it is really feasible... No, it is precisely because she discovered the "magic gunpowder" that she is sure that these ideas are definitely feasible.

The other party is really a genius!

A genius who is ugly, gentle, beautifully written, and has the same ideals as himself.

"I will make it." She looked at the knight who was about to rot in front of her, with a smile on her face that had never appeared since she entered the crypt, and an irrepressible excitement in her eyes.

"For our common ideal!"
