We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

In addition, there are 17 wounded soldiers.However, an airship that had just finished delivering building materials was ordered to rush to the fighting area, and after landing in a safe area, it picked up the wounded soldiers.They received timely treatment at Kazdale Hospital, and those with missing limbs were successfully reattached.

"You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Teresica noticed the dust on Manfred's shoes, and seeing that Manfred didn't speak readily, he asked the waiter to bring Manfred a breakfast as well.

"Just eat here. I just want to ask you, how is the recruitment of Foreign Legion personnel?"

"Thank you for your care, Your Majesty."

Manfred bowed first, and then sat down uprightly, "Your Majesty, there are many people in our Foreign Legion who want to come in. According to the previous standards, the vacancy of 55 people has been filled, and all of them are experienced people. Veteran. But..."

"but what?"

"Do we really want to distribute ore disease control medicine to the families of those aliens? Can we delay the distribution?"

Manfred was a little unbearable. Although Kazdaile now has medicine, it can only guarantee that the refining workers can have medicine every day.Under such circumstances, it is really unacceptable to provide a large amount of it to a foreign race.

However, Teresica did not have this idea. He said: "When aliens betray us, we will feel pain and discomfort. And when we break our promises to aliens, they will also feel the same emotions as us."

"But……"

Teresica interrupted Manfred and asked: "Do you think that in Terra in the future, one day Sakaz will be Sakaz instead of being called a demon?"

Manfred looked at Teresica's serious look and was silent for a while, "...think."

"Then keep the promise we made ourselves."

Teresica said: "You can make money when you're gone. You can just reproduce it when the potion is used up, but it's hard to establish a reputation. Once you start, you can't stop, otherwise all your investment will be in vain."

"I understand, Your Majesty." Manfred nodded slightly.

After saying this, Teresica turned the conversation back to the military.Although he won the battle, he still had to learn from his experience. He asked curiously: "How did it feel to fight against the Leitanians this time?"

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is as per the report I submitted to you. Our side has an absolute advantage."

Manfred paused as he spoke, "But the grassroots Sakaz non-commissioned officers we deployed generally responded with some discomfort and insufficient support."

"Oh? What's going on?" Teresica put down the tableware, "I remember arranging a magician for coordinated operations."

"Well, we did arrange magicians to cover the Foreign Legion, but in all the battles, we used Originium technology to bombard the enemy. This time we met the Letanians, and their magicians used infected people as spellcasters. The medium is evenly matched with our magician."

Manfred said: "In yesterday's battle, our alchemist had been trying his best to intercept Letania's spell attacks, so it gave the frontline sergeants the illusion that there was no support."

Teresica fell into deep thought after hearing this. This incident started to alarm him in his heart. Originium skills were Sakaz's specialty and foundation.Now that this advantage has been challenged, this is not something that can be ignored.

He stood up and said, "Let's go to the arsenal."

.........

I came to the arsenal again after nearly two years. It no longer has the feeling of a small workshop in the past. Management and production are getting closer to maturity through day-by-day polishing.

Teresica did not bother these workers. He walked directly into the research department in the core area.This is the working area of ​​the Ursus mortar reverse engineering team.

The director of the project was a pardoner named Alfred, and the deputy director was Mel.

Teresica has always been strict with herself and cannot interfere with specific technical work to avoid unnecessary interference and pressure on researchers. But today, after hearing from Manfred that the support was not strong enough, it really touched his heart. Deep in the DNA.

'If the support intensity is not enough, then the firepower is insufficient! '

Teresica couldn't help it now, and he decided to ask about the specific situation.

He couldn't understand the Origin Stone skills, but he had rich experience in using guns and cannons on Earth!

When Teresica appeared in the laboratory, Alfred was really shocked.

"Your Majesty! Why are you here!"

"Eh? Boss?"

Mel also raised his head when he heard the noise, revealing a pitch-black face.The surrounding craftsmen also stopped their work and looked here.

"Let me check on your work progress and find out..."

Teresica smiled, motioned for Manfred to find a place where he could talk, and then waved Alfred and Mel to follow.

The four people sat down in an empty workers' lounge. Teresica quickly asked: "How is the reverse engineering of the mortar going?"

"Your Majesty, we are fully capable of processing the mortars themselves, but not the artillery shells."

"Tell me."

Alfred took a shell and explained: "The Ursus mortar shell is divided into a launch part that provides launch kinetic energy, and an explosion part that falls in the enemy area and causes damage. The two parts are one first and the other one. After starting, the working principle is to detonate the source stone powder in the missile to obtain energy."

Mel on the side looked a little sad, as if he was worried about whether Teresica could understand.But in fact, he already understood what was going on from the first sentence.

'Isn't this the same as the mortars on the other side of the earth? '

He asked: "So which part of the shell is the problem?"

"It's the launch part."

Mel ran out quickly and ran back in the blink of an eye, with two more cut metal pipes in his hands.she said, pointing to the pipe.

"These are the mortar barrels after firing a round of Ursus original ammunition and a round of Kazdaele imitation ammunition."

After hearing this, Teresica quickly looked closer and found that one of the tubes was clean, while the firing pin at the end of the other tube was covered with various condensations of unknown origin.

"What are these things?"

"Your Majesty, it's the incomplete combustion leftover after the partial explosion."

Alfred stretched out his hand and took a lot of effort to pull it down a little. "The damaged part of the cannonball is filled with pure high-purity source stones. Ursus uses 75% purity. We are fully capable of using 80% purity." %, this is more powerful. But in the emission part, it is not only filled with Originium powder, but there are also things we don’t know about."

"It's those unknown things that cause our artillery shells to have residue in the barrel after they are fired. Usas's artillery shells can be filled with the next one immediately, but once our own shells are fired, The barrel must be cleaned, which takes a lot of time. Moreover, the maximum range of Ursus' artillery shells is 6 kilometers, and our imitation can only stabilize it at 3.5 kilometers. "

"Incomplete combustion...can I replace the launch filler with a higher-purity source stone?"

Teresica tried to put forward her own suggestion, but Mel shook her head, "No, that would release huge energy in an instant and it would explode."

At this time, Alfred suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, the laboratory has no information. Have we encountered any trouble recently?"

In his impression, His Majesty has never actively intervened in any research process, but today it was unusual. Maybe something happened.

Teresica did not hide this, "Letania has had friction with us recently. Their magicians are also very strong. Our advantage has become weaker. Now the army urgently needs stronger support firepower." .”

The first thing he thought of was mortars. This kind of industrial product was not a magician and could provide firepower stably and for a long time.But who would have thought that there would be a problem of insufficient combustion of the propellant.

"Your Majesty, how about importing Ursus' artillery shells?" Manfred suggested.

"That would get us choked."

Teresica took the cannonball from Alfred's hand and observed it carefully. He didn't believe that he came from an earth with rich experience in the use of guns. He couldn't solve this problem?

"Bring me a vernier caliper."

He measured it for a while, then suddenly looked at Mel, "Now that the partial explosion is being launched, is there any metal that can withstand the force of the explosion at 2mm thickness?"

"Uh..." Mel thought for a moment, "Yes, the crucible for experimental propellants is fine. It is made of D series 11-grade high-strength steel. If you want to be safer, you can also go to grade 12 or 13."

"Is this metal expensive?"

"It's not expensive. Ursus exports it in large quantities. Yanguo, Colombia, Victoria all export it, and even Syracuse has it."

Hearing what Mel said, Teresica felt relieved, and he motioned for the three of them to come closer.

"You see, the mortar shell shrinks as it goes toward the tail. We can get a metal cover like a cup to wrap it up, so that the residue of incomplete combustion is in the metal cover."

Mel's eyes suddenly lit up, "So we only need to pour out the metal cover?"

"No, this action is too big. I don't know how bad the first shot and the second shot will be."

Teresica shook her head, "Improve the bottom bracket, raise the height of the gun tail from the ground, cut the closed bottom firing pin part, and change it to a gate that can be opened by turning the handle, so that the metal shell can fall out directly , so you don’t have to move the gun body.”

Chapter 82 Interference in the War

Alfred remembered that the leader once told him that the wonders and wonders of His Majesty's mind were far beyond their imagination, which made him want to stop.

He didn't realize it at that time, but now he really realizes it.

His Majesty just came to the laboratory, listened to his description for a while, and then came up with a solution, and it was the best solution to maximize the use of existing results.

A thin metal cover!

Oh my God!Such an extremely simple method helped them solve the problem of the Sakaz imitation shells being unable to fire continuously.

What have they been doing for so long? !He was actually always satisfied that His Majesty did not bother him!

Alfred thought in annoyance, and he suddenly thought that even if the missing Lord Tracy came back, he would probably choose to continue to follow His Majesty.

"The plan has come out, let's quickly demonstrate it."

Teresica waved, Alfred quickly stood up and bowed to leave, but Mel, who was born in Colombia, had already ran out.

This working group has all the personnel, equipment, and materials. Here they find a ready-made gun barrel to reprocess, and there they use a stamping machine to punch a metal shell that can cover the mortar shells. In less than 20 minutes, two A new mortar and 6 new shells are ready.

Teresica did not go away. He had been waiting here, ready to observe the experiment.After Alfred learned of this situation, he respectfully sent him a pair of earplugs.

"Your Majesty, please bring this."

"No, I'm standing so far away, let the soldiers who fire the cannonballs put them on."

When everything is ready, the experiment officially begins.

"Artillery in position!"

The commander gave an order, and the artillery crew members in teams of two ran as fast as possible to the location where the mortars were stored.They took out the mortars and deployed them.

The mortar is generally the same as before, but there is an extra bracket on the chassis at the rear of the barrel to raise the height of the rear of the barrel from the ground a lot.

The installation method was no different from before, and the artilleryman quickly shouted, "The mortar is installed."

"Load!" "Shoot!"

The soldier on the side quickly picked up a cannonball from the wooden box, and put it down from the muzzle according to the mortar loading method. Under the action of inertia, the cannonball slid to the bottom, and the slightly lengthened firing pin was smoothly submerged. The location of the propellant.

"boom--"

There was a hint of metallic trembling in the loud noise, and a burst of smoke and dust exploded on the hillside in the distance in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, the shells and the cannon body have been improved, so the old attack firing chart is useless."

"Well, I know this, you don't have to be so nervous."

Teresica smiled and motioned for Alfred to relax.Although the next step is the focus of this improvement, he is a little too nervous.

"It's normal for new things to have problems. I won't take my anger out on you."

After Teresica finished speaking, the commander's shouts started again.

"Firing pin unlocked! Eject the cartridge case!"

The soldier in charge of adjusting the cannon turned the handle with his right hand desperately. After 8 turns, the gate integrated with the firing pin was finally released, and a cartridge case slipped out of the barrel.

The technicians waiting on the side immediately rushed over, and after a careful inspection, they shouted in surprise: "The barrel is very clean! All the incomplete combustion materials are in the cartridge case!"

The artilleryman then returned the firing pin and locked it, and fired again. This time, the barrel was still very clean.

"Thanks to His Majesty's advice, we were able to accomplish our goal in one day."

There was excitement that couldn't be hidden in Alfred's eyes, but Teresica didn't have much joy.

"We exploited a loophole by coincidence this time. Our actual technical level has not been improved in any way. We still need to continue to experiment with the components of the launch part, and strive to be able to shoot directly like the original Ursus shells. But now we can use it. Use it, I want to assign two mortar fire teams to each platoon."

"Your Majesty, I will follow up on production and personnel training."

"Ah."

Just when Teresica wanted to talk in detail, a messenger ran over.

"Your Majesty, Sir Banshee said there are foreign affairs that require your personal decision."

Teresica didn't think much about it. She recently started to communicate with the refugees, and there were a lot more small diplomatic affairs.With this thought, he left the arsenal directly, but when he came to the meeting hall, he realized that he was terribly wrong.

The people who came were not refugees at all. They were the personal bodyguards of the Lateran Pope, Lady Sicily, Speaker of Ursus Witte, Russell of Casimir, and an old Micah who wore heavy Letanian style. Pliny.

Teresica hurried over to greet her. It was really inappropriate for the banshee to be alone in such a scene.However, these people's clothes today were quite casual and ordinary, and they did not bring any entourage. It was a bit like they had made an appointment to meet secretly in Kazdaele.

"I never thought that I would be able to welcome so many distinguished guests one day. It is really an honor for me."

Teresica smiled politely and motioned for everyone to take their seats.

"I wonder if you are here for something?"

"Your Majesty the King, we would like to know what you think of Letania."

Werther was the first to speak. Although the others did not speak, they all focused their eyes on him, as if they wanted to know his answer. It seemed that Letania had been doing a lot recently and had offended so many people.
