I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

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

Lin En saw the thing in his hand and asked, Is this the weapon you made?

Willy held a long gun in both hands, This long gun is made according to your thoughts and design, sir. This one is a little different from the regular lance.

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

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

A common lance is made of a hardwood pole, thin at the front and thick at the back, about two body lengths in length, and has a specially designed grooved handle in the hand. It is said that this kind of lance can play a very important role in charging and fighting. Good results.

Willy had not made a lance himself, but he had seen a lance made for a knight.

The lance on the drawing is much shorter, and it is not just a hardwood pole. It has a certain degree of toughness, and the spear head is also very different. At first, he was a little confused, but after the lord explained it, he tried it out. Build.

This kind of gun head is different from the conventional lance head. It requires constant beating and will fail if you don't pay attention. It was only now that he successfully built it and rushed over immediately.

Lin En looked at the spear. This was a drawing he drew based on the spear in his memory. However, the head of the spear was changed to a certain extent and was made by the blacksmith. It looked similar to the red tassel spear, but overall it looked very out of this world. lance features.

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

The gun barrel is broken!

Linn couldn't help but frown, 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 the spear was that when the serfs were cutting down trees, they encountered a very tough tree. I don't know its name. It took more strength and longer to cut it down.

The serfs were cursing because the trees affected the rate at which they could earn work points.

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

Linn went to see it in person and thought that this kind of tree could be used to make gun shafts. He asked the serfs to send the trees to Farr and let the two of them make a batch of gun shafts.

Say what you think, just say it, I won't blame you. Lynn said.

With the lord's assurance, Willy replied: My lord, the gun shaft made of this material is not strong. It is not as hard as hardwood. If the two fight, it will be easily cut off, and the length is too short. We are both riders. In a gun battle, the opponent is already dead before he can hit him.

Linn 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. However, the shortcomings are also obvious. This kind of lance can only Suitable for charging, not suitable for infantry. Once the charging lineup is destroyed by special means, it will be very troublesome.

However, the spear he drew on the drawing was not specifically 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 kind of spear is good, but it can be used to replace it with a lance. Willy continued.

Do you have any ideas for making the gun barrel more flexible and stiff? Lynn asked.

Willy thought for a while, Unless it is directly made of all iron, it is too heavy and can only be used by knights, but in this case, it will have no toughness.

Lin En shook his head. Of course he knew this. The reason why he used wooden poles was because he needed to apply this kind of weapon to the militia. Both long swords and broadswords were iron weapons, and the demand for iron ore was relatively large. , and it takes a lot of time to create it.

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

The spear is just a transition. After all, we can't let the militia members fight the enemy with sickles.

Ask Far and Negi. Go and call them over.

Biton ran out immediately.

Not long after, Farr and Negi arrived at the castle together.

Lin En was surprised, It's so late, are you still studying the waterwheel together?

Farr replied, Sir, we have made the spokes according to the waterwheel drawings, but we have no idea about the axle yet. The wood you asked the serfs to send is quite tough. The two of us made several axles, but they are running It’s easy to crack when used.”

The waterwheel must be built as soon as possible. I called you here this time to ask what you think about the gun barrel.

Linn gave them the broken gun barrel and stated his request.

Farr thought, You can dip the gun barrel in oil. This way, it will have a certain slipperiness when chopping, which can reduce the chance of being cut off. However, if you fight with a sword, you will still be cut off.

Naji thought of something and said: My father discovered something when he was making tools in the past. 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 would ask their father to help fix it. At first, his father would tie it with wood chips, but this only had a little effect. Later, his father used a kind of vine, tied it to the tool, and brushed it with a layer of tree sap. First, it has a certain degree of toughness and also has considerable hardness.

Lin En's eyes lit up, this method seemed a bit familiar.

The other party's father was able to think of this method. He was indeed an old carpenter, but it was a pity that he was bought by others.

Is this kind of vine and sap easy to find?

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

Just do what you said and prepare the barrel of the gun. Linn said.

Farr and Negi left, and Linn looked at Willy, Continue to build the gun head, and what about the thing I asked you to build before?

It's still being built, but sir, this... Willy hesitated, The big iron blocks cannot be fully fitted. Not only are there not enough manpower, but the key is that the flame temperature cannot completely melt them.

That's it, let's try building it first.

Linn asked Willy to build a prototype of a steam engine. After all, he was still reluctant. If this kind of machine is successfully produced, it will play a huge role.

Now it seems that the basic conditions are still not enough.
