Release that Witch

Chapter 246: New gunpowder plan

What is the symbol of the industrial age? The first thing that Roland thought of was the steaming steam and the train that was running on the rails.

The oil-filled cast iron cylinders, the thick crankshaft and the huge iron wheels, the rhythmic noise and vibration, and the whistle that cut through the sky, for him, the first thing to know about the mechanical beauty is from the steam train. Compared with the later generations, which use the high-precision machining to reduce the tremor and the mechanical system that emphasizes the sound insulation and sound absorption measures, it is undoubtedly more intuitive to show the power and beauty of the industry.

He also wants to spread the rails in the territory, let the train drag the passengers and goods to and from the west, but the ideal is good, but the reality is not satisfactory, not to say that a steam train is needed, just for the rails. A large amount of steel far exceeds the iron ingot production capacity of the northern **** furnace group.

So the next best thing, the manpower-driven bicycle became Roland's best choice. The more the flat roads in the territory are repaired, the greater the bicycle benefits. And compared to a complex steam train, it requires little maintenance and occasionally smears the chain.

If you plan to mass-produce bicycles, you can't let Anna do it by hand, so he first has to set up a factory to train a group of professional workers for production and vehicle assembly. Considering that the Kingdom Road will not be completed until the spring of next year, the scale of the factory does not need to be too large. After Anna has created the machine tools needed by the assembly line, the workers will be familiar with the process of each link and produce ten in one month. Come to the car. Among them, the highest technical content is the chain. The chain piece needs to be punched out by the machine, and then the pin is manually inserted and connected.

However, the rubber parts like tires and brakes still need to be made by Soroya's ability. In this part, the workload is not big. As long as the bottom mold is prepared, the magic pen can quickly draw a lot. The same is true for bearings. Rolling bearings with reliable performance cannot be used. A small steel sleeve can be used as a sliding bearing. The inner ring is covered with a smooth mirror coating, and the effect is not much worse than the former.

When the bicycle was first introduced, only the nobles could afford this kind of expensive transportation. In order to spread to the masses, in addition to publicity, Roland also planned to implement the installment payment system to minimize the purchase pressure. Of course, only the people who have obtained the ID card can apply for this payment method from the City Hall.

The three men tossed in the garden for an afternoon, Carter Lannis was worthy of the name of the chief knight, took the lead in mastering the cycling skills; the iron axe followed, the second successfully circled the garden. Only Barov tried for more than a dozen times and failed to succeed. It was not awkward to fall, and he could not move straight. In the end, Roland had to let Soroya draw a static picture of his standing next to the bicycle and his hands holding the handlebars.

“Do you do this?” the witch asked after completing four huge posters.

"I have to add two more words," Roland thought for a moment. "The above is written: the new era mount, I have it, you will have it. The following is written: the bicycle factory recruits workers, the salary is considerable, Well-paid, there is also a chance to get a new car for you free of charge. You can register with the City Hall through a primary education."

......

After handling the bicycle poster, the prince returned to the office and waited for a while before the dinner, and asked the guard to call Camo Stern.

Nowadays, the development of mercury sulphate has finally made a breakthrough, and the development of a new generation of weapons can also be put on the agenda. There is no doubt that the caliber of the era of hot weapons represents justice, and the rate of fire represents freedom; the greater the power, the more glorious, the more turrets are more equal... but the problem with an embarrassment is that it develops in this way and relies on laboratory methods. The two acids will soon be unable to keep up with the consumption.

For example, if you want to increase the rate of fire, you must discard the black powder that has a lot of residue, and change it to smokeless emission. The medicine is fire cotton, or a mixture of fire cotton and nitrifying glycerin. The same is true for high-powered explosives. It is okay to do not use trinitrate-based toluene (t.n.t.). It can be replaced with nitrated starch. In addition to poor stability, the power is even greater than t.n.t.

No matter what kind of thing, a large amount of high-concentration fuming nitric acid is needed, and purifying nitric acid requires a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid, which is not satisfied by the laboratory output. In other words, there is no way to use the industrial law to produce two acids. Even if a more efficient weapon is developed, it will fall into a difficult situation.

When the chief alchemist walked into the office, Roland said, "I have a new assignment to give you."

"You please," said Camo shrugged. "As long as it is not attended,"

“I need more acid. At present, the output of the chemical laboratory alone cannot meet my needs. Therefore, your new task is to design a chemical system that can produce two acids efficiently and conveniently.”

"Chemical...system?" He looked confused.

“Yes, it consists of one and several complete reaction devices. As long as the raw materials are put into production, the finished products can be continuously produced.” Roland simply explained the nature of industrial production. “I don’t know much about this part. Take your own time and ponder."

Having said that, the prince also knows that this is a very difficult task. It is likely that it will take years to study and it will not necessarily produce results. After all, what the other party can rely on is just some basic reaction principles and chemical equations in Elementary Chemistry.

"I understand," Kemer nodded. "The things you mentioned really make me feel refreshed."

"Whether you can finish it, the two acids are what I urgently need." Rolandton paused. "So next month I plan to expand three laboratories along the Chishui River and recruit qualified candidates from the people. As a laboratory assistant. If you don't have time to teach them, choose a few disciples to take charge of it. After all, industrial acidification is a very long research project."

Probably because of the temptation of "Medium Chemistry", he promised it in one go, "Yes, Your Highness."

After Camo Stern left, Roland sighed softly.

If the industrial acidification method does not see hope, Lucia can only follow the purification of acid. After all, when the war comes, he needs more powerful weapons to win the town.

Roland opened the drawer and planned to eat some fish to relieve the boring, but found that the drawers for storing snacks were empty.

He looked up and he looked up and saw that a dried fish had been handed to his mouth.

"You are looking for this?" The smiling blonde woman smiled.

Roland bit the fish and couldn't help but tilt his mouth. "I thought you would stay in the fog for a lifetime."

"That's pretty good, at least people can't see me, but I can still see you." Night grin.

Originally, some dull moods dissipated a lot, and he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the familiar appearance. "You said before, I don't know what kind of expression to show..."

"Ok?"

"Actually, it's good like this." (To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
