I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 89 Building a Spear

Blacksmith Willie came to the castle, and when he saw the lord coming out, he immediately saluted.

Lynn saw the thing in his hand and asked, "Is this the weapon you forged?"

Willie held a long gun in both hands, "The long gun was built according to your idea and design, sir. This is a little different from the regular cavalry gun."

A few days ago, the lord came to the blacksmith shop with a blueprint and asked him to make a weapon according to the above structure. Although Willie is a blacksmith in an ordinary town, he also made long swords for the nobles, and he is not familiar with weapons. strangeness.

But when he saw what was on the drawing, he was really surprised.

Common lances are made of hardwood poles. The front is thin and the back is thick. Good results.

Willie has never built a lance himself, but he has seen it, and once made a lance head for a knight.

The length of the lance on the blueprint is much shorter, and it is not a purely hardwood pole, taking into account a certain degree of toughness, and the head of the lance is also very different. At first, he still didn't understand it. After the lord explained it, he tried it out. build.

This kind of gun head is different from the regular spear head, it needs to be beaten continuously, and it will fail if you don't pay attention to it. Until now, he has successfully built it and rushed over immediately.

Lin En looked at the long spear. This is the blueprint he drew based on the long spear in his memory. However, the head of the spear has been changed to some extent, and the blacksmith made it according to the pattern. It looks somewhat similar to the red-tasseled spear, but overall it is very similar to this world. The characteristics of riding a gun.

He fiddled with the spear a few times. Thanks to the physique and strength of the knight, he could hear the sound of breaking through the air, and the spear fell to the ground with a snap.

The barrel of the gun broke!

Lynn couldn't help frowning, looked at the broken gun barrel, and shook his head, it seemed that the raw materials were still not good enough.

The reason why the blacksmith was asked to make spears was that when the serfs felled trees, they encountered a kind of tough tree. I don’t know its name. It took more strength and longer time to cut it down.

The serfs were cursing, because this kind of tree affected the speed at which they earned work points.

After Karis heard about it, he reported it to Lynn.

Lin En went to see it himself, and thought that this kind of tree could be used to make gun barrels, so he asked the serfs to send the trees to Farr, and asked the two of them to make a batch of gun barrels.

"Tell me your opinion, just say it, I won't blame you." Lynn said.

With the lord's assurance, Willie replied: "My lord, the gun shaft made of this material is not strong. It is not as hard as hard wood. If the two fight, it will be cut off easily, and the length is too short. Gun battle, before attacking the opponent, he is already dead."

Lynn nodded. This is indeed what Willy said. The lance here is about three to five meters long. When charging into battle, a single sprint will kill a large number of enemies. It is suitable for charging, but not suitable for infantry. Once the charging lineup is destroyed by special means, it will be very troublesome.

However, the long spear he drew on the blueprint was not specially used for cavalry combat, but could also be used for infantry combat. After all, there were not many cavalry in Ashes Town.

"Only the tip of this long spear is good, but it can be used to replace it with a lance." Willy continued.

"Do you have any ideas for making the barrel more resilient and tough?" Lynn asked.

Willie thought for a while, "Unless it is directly made of all iron, but the weight is too heavy, only knights can use it, but in this way, there will be no toughness."

Lynn shook his head. Of course he knew this truth. The reason why he used the wooden pole was because he needed to use this weapon on the militia. Both the long sword and the broadsword are iron weapons, and the demand for iron ore is relatively large , and it takes a lot of time to build it.

As for other weapons such as axes and chain hammers, they all have certain limitations.

The spear is just a transition, after all, people from the militia can't be allowed to fight the enemy with a sickle.

"Ask Farr and Najib, you go and call them over."

Beaton ran out immediately.

Not long after, Farr and Neji came to the castle together.

Lynn was surprised, "It's so late, are you still working on the waterwheel together?"

Farr replied, "My lord, we have already made the spokes according to the blueprint of the waterwheel, but we don't have any ideas about the axles. The wood you asked the serfs to send is quite tough. The two of us made a few axles, but they are running It is easy to crack when it is."

"The construction of the waterwheel must be done as soon as possible. This time I called you here to ask what you think about the gun barrel."

Lynn gave them the broken gun barrel and said his request at the same time.

Farr thought, "It's better to soak the barrel of the gun in oil. In this way, it will have a certain degree of slipperiness when chopping, which can reduce the chance of being cut off, but if you fight with a sword, you will still be cut off."

Naiji thought of something, and said: "When my father was making tools, he discovered something. Some people are stronger and use the same tools. The tools in their hands will often break first. Buy New tools cost a small fortune.

These people will ask their father to help fix them. At first, my father will use wood chips to tie them, but this only works a little bit. Later, my father uses a kind of vine, binds them to the tools, and brushes them with a layer of tree sap. As a result, it has a certain degree of toughness and a relatively strong hardness. "

Lynn's eyes lit up, this method seemed a little familiar.

The other party's father was able to think of this method, as expected of an old carpenter, but it was a pity that someone else bought it.

"Is this kind of vine and juice easy to find?"

"It's easy to find. They are found in the forest. They are not rare." Naiji replied.

"Just do as you said, and prepare the gun barrel." Lynn said.

Farr and Neji left, and Lynn looked at Willy, "Continue to build the gun head, and what happened to the thing I asked you to build?"

"It's still being built, but my lord, this." Willie hesitated. "The big iron blocks can't be fully fitted. It's not just that there are not enough people. The key is that the flame temperature can't completely melt them."

"Well, let's try to build it first."

What Lynn asked Willy to build was a prototype of a steam engine. After all, he was still not reconciled. If this kind of machine is successfully produced, it will play a huge role.

Now it seems that the basic conditions are not enough.
