Chapter 71 Spring is here
The spring of 1025 has come.

Inadvertently, the originally white land turned into tender green.

This change came so suddenly, some people on the street had already put on their spring clothes, while others were wiping sweat in their winter clothes.

Katie was still wearing a thick winter coat when she ate breakfast, and she came back shortly after she went out, and changed into a slim spring knee-length skirt that made Richard Nall blow his beard and stare.

On the carriage, Richard Nall said angrily: "Young people nowadays are really lawless! If you dare to show your calves today, the skirt will not even cover your knees tomorrow?! The day after tomorrow, you won't even have your buttocks." covered!!"

Frederick really wanted to say "I advise you not to meddle in your own business", but he couldn't beat the Juggernaut, so he could only nod in agreement like a chicken eating rice.

In fact, Katie's dress today is nothing. The skirt is from the knee to the middle of the calf. She is paired with high boots and black suspenders inside.

Wearing this way is mainly because there is still a construction site at the paper workshop, and the ground is still muddy after the recent spring snowmelt. If you wear a traditional ankle-length skirt, you will definitely get a circle of mud.

Frederick decided to change the subject and asked, "Is there any progress between my sister and Koehler?"

He had asked Katie before, but his nose was pinched and red.

Richard Nall replied: "Fortunately, Katie didn't say she hated him after so long, and he didn't expressly hint at his rejection, which shows that he has made a good start."

Frederick was relieved after hearing this.

Aside from arranged marriages for political and economic purposes these days, finding a lover is progressing rapidly. When it comes to talking about marriage, people are very reserved, and the tea in cold water is slowly getting thicker.

Richard Nall looked at the sky outside. Thick clouds were coming from the south. He said triumphantly, "It rains a lot in spring now, so I secretly borrowed the umbrella from her carriage."

Frederick was speechless.

The carriage soon came to Lake Brombach in the mountains north of Weissenburg City, and took a boat from the pier next to Weissenburg University to a large farmland on the other side of the lake.

The farmland by the lake is about 1 kilometer wide and 3 kilometers long. It is mainly planted with pastures for the horses led by Wesson.

The milk vetch in the grass has begun to bloom, and there are dots of purple stars scattered on the green ground, and countless bees are constantly shuttling between the flowers.

Today, many people gathered in the field, and several tables were set up, with many new gadgets on and beside them.

Frederick greeted Ommett, Diesel, and Julius Julius, then turned to a young man in his early twenties, "Bruce, do you understand how these guns are used?"

Bruce is the son of the housekeeper of the Wesson family. He was smart since he was a child. Frederick's father originally wanted him to grow up with Frederick as a "school boy" and become Frederick's helper in the future.

However, when Frederick was three years old, this guy took his young master to put on the "bee-proof suit" he invented to dig out hornet's nests. Later, he was beaten by Ah Fu until he could only sleep on his stomach for half a month, and was finally sent to the workshop go to work.

After the New Year holidays this year, Ogilvy, Diesel, and Julius have organized capable personnel to start the trial production of various weapons, and have achieved preliminary results so far.

Bruce didn't want to manage the weapon workshop at first, he thought it was boring, but he had to choose the latter after being beaten for a month and unable to get out of bed and go to work.

However, Frederick took him to find Ogilvy and others. When he found out that this was a brand new version of the weapon workshop, this guy immediately agreed to the job.

"Master, please rest assured!" Bruce replied proudly, "I have already understood the production process of these weapons!!"

Frederick said seriously: "If you can't do it well, I'll let you wear a bee-proof suit and stuff the hornet's nest in."

A big smile spread across Bruce's face.

On the other side, Ogilvy explained to Richard Nall the principles of several magic air guns on the table.

"Isn't it just blowing arrows?" Richard Nall found something similar according to his own understanding, "How far can you blow the projectile?"

Ogilvy picked up an air gun and replied: "This is a self-loading air gun that is going to be equipped for the army. It has a caliber of 10 mm. The projectiles fired can accurately punch a half-fist-sized hole in a pig's leg at a distance of 200 meters. , if you don’t consider the accuracy when dealing with the military formation, you can injure unprotected people at a distance of 1 kilometer.”

Richard Nall is playing with a bullet. This bullet is pointed, with a slightly shrunken tail. The outer layer is a layer of copper skin pressed out of a mold, and the inside is filled with lead. After hearing the data, he was stunned. one time.

"Is it really this far?" He is no stranger to the battlefield, "Then the army will use this from now on."

Frederick came over and said, "That's what I thought. I'm afraid we won't face a master like you in the future. Our army will not be afraid of anyone."

Richard Nall shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic. The battlefield pays attention to damage, defense and speed. If you are strong in damage, others will offset the damage through defense and speed."

"If I were the commander-in-chief of the enemy, I would suffer the first time, but the second time I would try my best to increase my defense and approach you as quickly as possible, as long as the casualties approached you within the acceptable range."

"There are such battles. You have heard of the war between Plantagenet and Rose, right? The enchanted longbowmen of the Rose Dynasty and the Lightning Rangers of the Plantagenet Dynasty developed in mutual confrontation."

Frederick nodded his head.

Ogilvy took a grenade launcher and a grenade and said: "We have considered this and plan to use this magic scroll launcher to limit the speed of the enemy."

Richard Nall took the magic grenade made of slime glue, threw it in his hand, nodded and said: "Swamp spell, explosive spellcasting magic circle, that's good, as long as it reaches suddenness, it can be used when the enemy reacts." It can cause a lot of damage before it is controlled."

"I suggest using compound magic. A little more time spent on the battlefield means more people disappear."

Bruce on the side immediately took a thick parchment notebook and recorded the Juggernaut's words verbatim. It can be said that these valuable experiences were all exchanged for human lives.

Frederick was very satisfied with his performance. He invited Richard Nall over today just to hear Juggernaut's opinion on the new weapons and see what can be improved.

Richard Nall said a little excitedly, "Let's try it first, we'll see the actual effect before we talk about it."

Frederick immediately arranged for someone to put the target in place.

These targets are all wooden boards standing on a wooden frame, the same size as the door, and the surface is coated with a thick layer of lime, and a circle the size of a head is painted with red paint. point.

Someone pulled up a ruler and put a few at intervals of 50 meters until a distance of 500 meters.
