From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 116 The First Trebuchet (4K)

"Mother will bring the aid of the kingdom and the property of the entire Black family, including slaves, artisans, weapons and equipment.

This is enough for us to update the equipment of the army, and even form a production line later to create standard equipment.Do you guys have any ideas? "

There was a smile on Ryan's face. The family was finally reunited after being separated for so long.

"In terms of standard equipment, there are not many things we can choose now. The most important thing is to make leather armor one piece for each person, and the style can be unified.

The weapons are still the current collocation, but the sword needs to be replaced with a combat knife, but I don’t know when the technical problem of the knife will be solved. "

Allen now admires the sword very much. The sword designed by Ryan based on the Tang sword can play a greater role in battle than the sword.

Once the craftsmen took a lot of effort to make a few. Allen was full of praise after trying it out, saying that knives are more suitable for war than swords.

"The matter of the sword has already made progress. It will definitely change the army's equipment within this year, and there has been news some time ago that the trebuchet is already in the trial stage."

The two of them settled down on the matter of eliminating the second general, but they heard Drey, who had been silent all along, say:
"As for the military uniforms, I'm wondering if it's necessary to spend the money. Thousands of sets are not a small sum of money."

"This is necessary, and the reason for making uniforms is because we currently don't have the ability to make uniform armor.

Uniform military uniforms can make the troops more energetic, and it can also make the people get rid of the impression of the militia and the old army, and let them understand that this is a completely different army.

Therefore, military uniforms should not only be made, but also be practical, beautiful and strong. Ryan shook his head. The First Legion has been officially formed, but even the uniforms have not been unified. At first glance, it looks like a group of motley troops.

However, the three of them have no artistic talent, which led to no results in the discussion on the style of military uniforms. In desperation, Ryan had to use the old method to directly throw this issue to the public.

He couldn't believe that among the tens of thousands of people in Kana, he couldn't find a single person with artistic talent!

……

Fan Na got up early, today he was going to order a dress for a noble lady in the west of the city, and he needed to collect data. After washing up, he put his backpack on and went out with his stuff.

"Hey, good morning, Uncle Thor, are you going to cut green poles again?"

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a strong man walking towards him, carrying a basket on his back and holding a rusty hatchet.

Thor smiled and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Vanner, that's right, Lord Hevian said that the demand for green clubs has increased recently, so I have to get up earlier.

By the way, you may not know it yet. The notice board says that the lord is looking for someone to design military uniforms. If you choose one, you can get a reward of one Kindler. The clothes you make are so beautiful, you really should try them. "

As he said that, Thor's eyes still showed envy. It was a Kindler, which was enough for him to sell a lot of food.

Hearing this, Vanner became a little interested, which was quite a temptation for him. After thinking for a while, he said to Thor: "I really should go and see, Uncle Thor, I'll go first."

Looking at Vanner going away, Thor shook his head, there is indeed a gap between people, this young man who is only 20 years old fled from Chelt to Doman City together with him.

But because the other party is a tailor, and his craftsmanship is very good, he actually bought a tailor shop in a short period of time, and he is already self-sufficient.

Unlike him, who only has a handful of strength, he still has to rely on completing the tasks of the government affairs department to receive food.

------

Fan Na stopped under the bulletin board and carefully looked at the latest notice pasted on it. His family has been tailors for three generations, so his family background is not bad. He went to school when he was young, so he is considered a rare intellectual.

"The design of winter and summer military uniforms requires the pursuit of aesthetics as much as possible under the premise of practicality, and it must be suitable for marching and combat without being affected.

After making a sample or drawing a sketch, it can be submitted to the Government Affairs Office. If selected, each set will be rewarded with a Kindler. "

The more I read, the more Fanner frowned. This request is too broad. There is no sample reference, nor is there a very specific style requirement. It depends on my own imagination. Although the reward is attractive, it is not easy to get it.

"Hmm~ Let's try it after Mrs. Mason is done." Thinking like this, Vanner withdrew from the crowd.

At the same time, in the wilderness outside the city, Ryan and the others gathered together to watch groups of soldiers assemble the first trebuchet in Kanarling under the command of craftsmen.

Thanks to Ryan's design sketches and the perfection of many craftsmen day and night, this trebuchet came out in such a short period of time.

The assembled trebuchet is nearly ten meters high. The whole body is made of hard wood, and the key parts are wrapped with steel. It looks like a giant from a distance, which is daunting.

This trebuchet is a counterweight trebuchet, which uses the gravity of the counterweight to launch. It consists of a base, a throwing rod, a counterweight, a shaft, a live hook, a wooden frame, and a bullet bag.

There is a fixed horizontal shaft between the two pillars of the frame of the trebuchet, on which there is a lever perpendicular to the shaft, which can rotate freely around the shaft.A heavy object is fixed on the short arm of the lever, and there is a bullet bag (a sleeve similar to a sling) at the end of the long arm for loading.

When using it, you need to use a winch to pull the long arm close to the level and let it go suddenly, and the stone bullets filled in the stone bag will be launched.

This is the mainstream trebuchet at the moment, and it is quite powerful just by its size.

It’s just that how powerful it is depends on the test of actual combat. This trebuchet has been tested several times before, and many problems have been adjusted. Now it is the final product display.

Since the accuracy of this thing is really not flattering, Ryan didn't prepare any targets. Even if such a heavy stone bomb hits the dirt, the hole will not be small.

"What's the best weight you've ever tested rockballs on?"

"Go back to Lord Baron, we decided that the weight of the stone bullet was about [-] pounds." A dark-skinned but strong man said with some trepidation and trepidation.

His name is Pete, and he is a skilled craftsman. He led the manufacture of this trebuchet. Facing Ryan, this strong man looked extremely nervous.

"Well, since that's the case, let's start when you're ready, according to what you tested before."

Ryan nodded, and greeted Drey and Allen to sit down in the distance, looking forward to the only heavy weapon of the Kanna collar.

After the previous few tests, the soldiers selected to manipulate him can already be used more proficiently. They have a clear division of labor, loading ammunition, operating the winch...

In a neat chime, the long arm has been pulled to a nearly horizontal position, and Ryan can even hear the sound of "creaking".

Under the command of the commander, it was released suddenly, and the stone bag rose rapidly.When the jib weight is fully lowered, the projectile flies out of the pouch at approximately a 45-degree angle.

A stone bullet weighing about [-] pounds drew a graceful arc in the air, and landed heavily on the slope in front of it, hitting a pine tree as thick as a bowl by coincidence.

The pine tree was suddenly smashed into two by the brutal impact of the stone bullet, startling a crowd of birds.

The stone bullets remained undiminished, and slammed into the soil slope. The soil splashed for a while, and the stone bullets, which were larger than watermelons, were nearly half embedded in the soil, which was enough to show their amazing power.

Ryan stood up and roughly estimated the distance. It seemed to be close to 200 meters, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the power and distance have not reached the top group, they are still upstream. Although the launch speed is still relatively slow, it should be able to improve a lot after long-term training.

Five more stone bullets were tested, and the distance did not change much, but the accuracy was really terrible, and the two stone bullets could not be seen within a range of ten meters.

"Sigh, it's still far from artillery. It's a pity that this gunpowder has never been found. One sulfur, two nitrates and three charcoals. I just know the formula but can't make it. It's more uncomfortable than killing me."

Seeing the success of the trebuchet, Ryan couldn't help but sigh again, artillery is the real weapon for siege and defense.

Drey and Allen were also comparing with the trebuchets they had seen before, and the results were still very gratifying, more than the above and not enough compared to the below.

"Ray, that's great. With the trebuchet, it will be much easier to deal with large monsters in the future." Dreyer had an unconcealable smile on his face, which was a big step forward in terms of armament.

"Peter, you guys did a great job. Each of you will be rewarded with ten silver delores. It's just that it's not enough. You should try to make it smaller and more accurate without affecting its power.

And you can also consider adding wheels or something, as long as you can produce results, the Lord will reward you heavily. "Lian patted Pete, who was a little flattered, in a good mood.

"Please rest assured, honorable lord, we will continue to work hard." Pete quickly nodded and bowed in response. For them, getting the reward is already incredible.

Although the trebuchet is good, but the cost is not cheap, such a scene where a row of volleys are so arrogant that it will not be seen in a short time.

After ordering four catapults to be trial-built, Ryan began to screen the styles of military uniforms non-stop. In the past five days, there were hundreds of proposals.

After Hevian eliminated those who fished in troubled waters, there were still a dozen good plans left in front of Ryan.

Ryan picked up a copy casually and found that it was a summer military uniform with a somewhat retro nature. It was more elegant, but it was a pity that it was not in his aesthetics.

Facts have proved that there are indeed only a small number of people with artistic talents. After several selections, two dark green military uniforms appeared in front of his eyes.

From the style point of view, it is a set for winter and a set for summer. It is obviously written by the same person. The winter coat is long and close to the knees.

There are golden lines on the cuffs, and the top is made of thick cotton material, which has good thermal performance and can ensure that you will not feel cold in the cold winter.The pockets of the military uniform are arranged neatly and orderly, which is convenient for carrying some items and increases the practicality.

The designer deliberately added some embellishments on the shoulders to make the military uniform more domineering.The bottoms are made of windproof and warm material that won't impede movement.The overall shape is simple and elegant, but it also has the characteristics of style and masculinity.

There is no big difference in the summer style as a whole, except that the top has been replaced with a hip-length short style, and the material is lighter and thinner.

The designer referred to the military uniform styles of the court guards of the Kingdom of Shano, and then incorporated some of his own elements, and finally formed two sets of military uniform styles that are both beautiful and practical.

Ryan looked at the signature at the bottom of the design drawing. It was independently designed by a tailor named Vanner, and he couldn't help being interested in him.

The other party can learn from foreign military uniform styles and at the same time incorporate his own ideas, it seems that he has ideas and insights, just because he lacks an artistic talent to help check.

Ryan racked his brains to design the flags and medals every time, but the effect is not so good. If the other party is really capable, they can take it back for their own use.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but want to meet each other. He longed for talents, all kinds of talents...

Faner followed step by step under the leadership of the castle servants. Although he tried his best to tell himself not to look around, he still couldn't help being curious from the bottom of his heart, and kept peeking around with the corner of his eyes.

At the same time, he was still a little excited. After all, it was such an honor for him to be received by the baron.

Going straight to Ryan's office, the servant left silently. Ryan's office is generally not allowed to enter by outsiders, and the servants know how to behave.

Vanner suppressed his excitement, lowered his head and knocked on the door, and entered cautiously after getting Ryan's permission.

Ryan was considering the cost of the military uniform, and was taken aback when he saw Faner. He was very young, about the same as him, with slightly curly brown hair, a standard oval face, and a few freckles.

She is thin and short in stature, but the style and material of the clothes she wears are more sophisticated, and her eyes reveal a kind of agility.

"My lord, the humble tailor Vanna pays homage to you."

Faner bowed his body cautiously, but he was also looking at Ryan from the corner of his eyes.

Ryan naturally noticed his small movements, but he didn't feel offended. He sat up slightly, raised the design drawing in his hand and said, "Mr. Fanner, are you designing these? I'm quite satisfied, but there are A few comments need to be made.”

"Yes, sir, please tell me." Faner sighed inwardly, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, and there are always people who are not aesthetically pleasing to put forward many layman's opinions on his design.

It's just that he just eats this bowl of rice, even if it's not perfect, as long as the customers are satisfied, it's good to make money, so don't shudder.

"Come closer, I think you can add an armband design on your shoulders, the pattern is designed according to the team's number and flag, etc., to distinguish the troops.

Then the pattern of the neckline and cuffs is a bit cumbersome, it would be more appropriate to simplify it appropriately, and a belt can be added around the waist for wearing weapons and waistbands..."
