Lord of all tribes

Chapter 383 High Platform, Blowing Wind, Earth Embryo
"Old copper hammer?"

Luo Lin yelled and didn't answer. The old patriarch of the dwarves, who was immersed in thinking, subconsciously blocked all the noise around him.

For this, Luo Lin could only sigh a little, and then strode forward, standing in front of the old copper hammer, looking at the old copper hammer, and the moment his eyes met each other, this dwarf addicted to creation Only the patriarch of the clan will wake up.

"Lord Luo Lin? Why are you here?"

The old copper hammer looked at the door blankly, and found that the door was open, and immediately shifted his gaze to Luo Lin, a little embarrassed.

"I didn't pay attention just now. I hope Lord Luo Lin doesn't care about the poor hospitality."

Old Tonghammer stood up, turned left and right, trying to find a suitable place to sit down, but found that the only chair in the room had just been dismantled by him as a material
"Lord Erollin sit down casually."

Even though Old Tonghammer's face had been tempered long ago, he still blushed unconsciously.

"Hehe. I won't sit down anymore. I'm here to see how the transformation plan of the dwarven musket is going."

Luo Lin is still very concerned about this issue, after all, this is the key to determining whether the leading military force of Garadi can reach a big level.

Rollin has already seen the enormous power of the smoothbore dwarf musket, and he is quite satisfied with the huge explosive power and deterrent effect it can produce.

If it can be improved on this basis, it will undoubtedly play a vital role in Rollin's plan to strengthen the army.

"Actually, I have developed the rifled dwarf gun a long time ago. The range, explosive power, and even the reloading speed have been greatly improved, but unfortunately, the lifespan of this rifled gun is too limited, and it is not even as good as the smoothbore gun. one-third.

But its cost is more than ten times that of ordinary smoothbore muskets.

The income and investment are completely out of proportion. "

The old copper hammer frowned and explained the reason to Luo Lin. Indeed, if it was true as the old copper hammer said, there were so many obstacles in casting rifled muskets, and what he got in the end was just a Rifled musket with extremely short life.

Even though such rifled muskets are far superior to smoothbore muskets in terms of performance, they are not the first choice for today's Galacticos.

Rifled dwarf muskets with better performance will naturally be loved by Rollin, but if this thing cannot be scaled up, it is not much different from a piece of scrap iron.

"Why is the cost increased so much? Isn't the rifled musket just to draw a few more tooth marks on the inner wall of the barrel, does it cost so much more cost?"

Luo Lin was a little puzzled, and asked the old copper hammer.

"Lord Rollin, although I have to marvel at your talent in casting and modifying muskets, there is still a lot of room for improvement on the basis of forging.

I have tried repeatedly the rifled musket theory you put forward, but the so-called drawing a few tooth marks on the inner wall of the gun bore has a lot of meaning.

The gears on the inner wall must be hammered out gradually by a skilled dwarf blacksmith.

If there is a slight mistake in the middle, this barrel is equivalent to being scrapped. "

The old copper hammer was able to fetch a polished barrel from the ground and demonstrate it to Luo Lin.

"Moreover, because of the enhanced explosive power and the substantial increase in the loading speed, the burden on the inner wall of the barrel has become heavier. The lifespan that was originally enough for an ordinary smoothbore musket to fire a thousand rounds of ammunition was converted into this rifled musket. Even less than a hundred rounds The consumption of ammunition has to scrap a barrel.

My opinion is that it is simply not realistic to build such rifled guns and equip the army in large batches! "

Old Copper Hammer is recognized and recommended by the dwarves, so his forging skills are naturally impeccable, and Luo Lin will still carefully consider his professional opinions.

"The lifespan of a hundred rounds is really short. If it is transformed into that kind of rifled musket, it can even fire a dozen rounds of ammunition in a minute or so. If this is the case, the musket that has been forged through hard work can only be used for a few minutes in fierce battles. .”

Luo Lin also had a headache. Originally, he was thinking too simply. The smelting technology in this world has not yet reached that high-end level. Even the iron ingots forged by dwarves cannot avoid the fate of being easily broken.

If iron ingots with enough toughness can be forged, it is more likely to put the large-scale forging of rifled dwarven muskets on the agenda.

"Perhaps we can work harder on iron ore and iron ingots to find enough high temperature to smelt tougher iron ingots, and then create a tougher gun chamber."

Rollin put forward his own expectations. Generally speaking, Rollin still very much hopes that the equipment of the army led by Garadi will be better, so that if the war breaks out, there will be more certainty of victory.

In this chaotic era, maybe one day the war will brush against your body and approach you. Luo Lin didn't expect to regret it at that time.

"Enough high temperature? Smelting iron ingots that are tough enough?" The old copper hammer whispered, then stared at Luo Lin expressionlessly, opened and closed his mouth several times before opening his mouth and said:

"Actually, we dwarves have tried this method of smelting tough iron ingots a long time ago, but because ordinary fuel is not enough to reach that high-temperature state, so..."

The old copper hammer said the key to the problem. Luo Lin frowned and thought about it carefully. Although he recorded a lot of things in his mind, most of them were half-knowledgeable. known.

"Perhaps, we can artificially increase the temperature of the flame produced by ordinary fuel." Luo Lin frowned and thought;

"For example, if you build an earth-based heat transfer casting table, you can increase the height of the casting table appropriately, and then pour enough wind into the tuyere to make the flame burn more vigorously, and spread the heat out through heat transfer. Used to smelt iron ingots."

Luo Lin racked his brains and squeezed out some dry goods. He didn't know if the smelting method he proposed would help the old copper hammer, but the experiment didn't cause much loss.

"High platform, wind blowing, soil embryo."

The old copper hammer stood there and muttered to himself. The things Luo Lin proposed were very unfamiliar to him, but it was precisely because of the unfamiliarity that it was necessary to explore further.

Every time this magical human lord reveals a few words, it can always set off a big riot in the history of casting.

The old copper hammer has already seen this, so he won't think that Luo Lin is just making up things. On the contrary, he has firmly recorded these things in his mind and will not forget them easily.

He will follow these hints to make new creations little by little. Subconsciously, the old copper hammer decides that this time he may be able to harvest some unexpected things
