"The method of use is the same as the dwarf alchemical musket. Just open the safety, load the ammunition, and pull the trigger to fire." Professor Gavin said.
This dwarf spokesman knows how to move quickly and is extremely skillful. He is obviously an expert in this field.
After knowing how to use it, the movement of holding the gun was extremely standard. It seemed that he was afraid that the recoil force of this weapon would be too great and would exceed his load, so he directly adopted a crawling shooting position, and then he calmly prepared to shoot.
But after the safety was turned on, the dwarf spokesman couldn't help but be startled, canceled the shooting action, and his eyes fell on the elemental gun again.
It just looks like a dwarf alchemical musket, but its principles are far different.
Its safety setting is not to block the excitation, but to cut off the magic circle.
The entire elemental gun is a small magic circle. When the safety is opened and the last piece of the puzzle is in place, the red color on the butt spreads along the rune veins on the gun barrel, forming a complete whole, and the appearance is taken to a new level. , exquisite like a work of art.
Delonger can clearly feel the elemental power surging in it.
At this moment, he finally understood why it was called an elemental gun. It was a brand new way of applying elements.
The dwarf spokesman no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger directly, triggering this unique magic circle.
boom!
Even though the dwarf spokesman was fully prepared, he was still shaken by the powerful recoil, and his whole body bounced clearly.
On the contrary, a tongue of fire visible to the naked eye spurted out, and a fire ball visible to the naked eye bombarded the target rock a hundred meters away at an incredible speed.
Everyone vaguely seemed to hear the roar of the dragon. The fire ball looked like a miniature flying dragon with wings spread out.
The fire ball exploded, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and a hole as big as a bowl appeared on the target rock.
Where is the gun?
It's just a small cannon.
"Elemental bullets!" the dwarf spokesman screamed in disbelief, "No, this is an elemental bullet that uses highly compressed elements as a driving force, with dual attacks of elemental and physical properties!"
He felt very clearly that there was a metal bullet wrapped in the fire ball.
While the fire element is forming a boost, the constantly rotating metal bullet is also adsorbing the surrounding fire elements, ultimately forming a complementary double attack.
The first level is the flame explosion impact, and the second level is the metal bullet bombardment.
If the opponent was not a huge boulder but a body of flesh and blood, the shot just now was enough to destroy his arms and legs. Even if he was wearing heavy armor, even if it could not be penetrated, it would be severely deformed.
The lethality is not comparable to that of the dwarf alchemical musket.
Gavin said in time: "I don't need to explain its value any more. Just increase the caliber and you can turn the gun into a cannon, further increasing the lethality. As long as dozens of them are deployed at dangerous passes, Able to launch a complete blockade there, preventing the army from entering.
And this is just a preliminary version, there is still huge potential that can be tapped. For example, adding your alchemical gunpowder to these bullets and cannonballs will cause them to impact and explode when they hit the target. I believe the lethality will be even more powerful. It can even achieve armor-piercing purposes.
The flame model is just one of them. The power of bullets or cannonballs fired by other elements such as wind, water, earth, etc. will be different. ”
Gudong.
The dwarf spokesman swallowed involuntarily. As a senior dwarf engineer, he clearly knew that Gavin was not talking nonsense, but had great feasibility.
After the dwarfs developed the alchemical bombardment cannon, they kept it hidden for fear of having too great an impact on the world.
But who would have thought that it would become a backward technology in a blink of an eye.
Looking at Gavin again, the dwarf spokesman's eyes were obviously different from before, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Do you mean, Your Excellency the Conqueror, to share this technology with us?"
< br>
Gavin corrected: "To be more precise, I want to conduct in-depth cooperative research with you and develop more methods of use. Your bombardment cannon and alchemy musket have something to learn from."
"I have no control over this matter. If you want to use the technology of bombardment cannons and alchemical muskets, you must obtain the consent of the Lantan Island Invention Committee." The dwarf spokesman said with a regretful look.
"Can you contact the Invention Committee of Lantan Island? Let me explain to them personally. I can also visit Lantan Island." Gavin took the opportunity to ask.
It is no exaggeration to say that the dwarves of Lantan Island are the best inventive group in Faerûn, gathering a large number of dwarves or other intelligent inventors.
Many weird inventions in Faerun come from their hands, such as the suspension of the carriage and the wheel parts of the carriage that can be recycled and repaired, the self-igniting non-extinguishing oil lamp that will never go out as long as there is oil in the oil tank, various Various light and trip wire sirens.
Another example is complex hinged chains, automatic time limit devices, hasps, locks and objects with special functions (such as "sharp pins" that can be quenched to deter thieves, cavities to hide keys, special door handles when the door is opened) to run a chime, etc.).
There are both very practical ones, and there are also useless ones that look useful but are actually useless.
This kind of bold innovative thinking and super hands-on ability are what Gavin needs most, especially those complex industrial equipment, such as underground rail cars, cars, steel battleships, etc.
These are not things that can be achieved with just a slap on the forehead, but require a lot of craftsmanship.
Those dwarves are indeed the top craftsmen, and their forging skills are absolutely unparalleled. He can control it to the smallest detail by hand, which is more precise than a machine.
But there is a prerequisite, you need to provide drawings.
Because when it comes to innovation ability, it’s haha.
He had long wanted to establish contact with the dwarfs on Lantan Island, but he couldn't find a way.
Just like the Elves' Evermeet Island, the world only knows their general direction, but without anyone to guide them, the possibility of taking a boat to the island is zero.
They are all protected by powerful magic, and it is unknown whether they are on the same plane as the mainland.
"Sorry, Lantan Island refuses outsiders to visit, but I can try to contact the Invention Committee. Whether they are willing to see you or not is not something I can decide." The dwarf spokesperson gave a compromise.
Gavin thought about it for a moment and said: "Okay, but I would like to ask you to send these items together with this gun to Lantan Island and hand it over to the Invention Committee. Please tell them that they want to use this gun on a large scale. If you want to grow materials, you have to come to me.”
What he handed to the dwarf spokesman was a piece of air glass, a seal made of rubber and a book of sketches.
That sketch was Gavin's wild imagination and memory restoration of the mechanical equipment in his previous life.
He is increasing his bargaining chip and letting those dwarf inventors take the initiative to come for his chips.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these things may be worthless.
But in the eyes of those dwarf inventors, these are probably priceless treasures.
It can be seen from the reaction of the dwarf spokesman. He just casually flipped through the sketch book, and then stared straight at it on the spot. He could no longer move away from it. He suppressed the urge to read and asked: " Your Majesty the Conqueror, what is this?”
"A development plan." Gavin said lightly, "The first page is a plan for an underground rail car, and the second page is a plan for a heavy-duty truck... You have what I need in your hands, but the same thing , I have advantages that you don’t have... I can make your inventions available for large-scale production and application.
If you are interested in these ideas, I can mobilize millions of dollars to invest in research.
I am not short of money, but what I am short of is people to do research and corresponding research projects!
As long as the speaker succeeds in connecting me, regardless of whether my negotiation with the Lantan Island Invention Committee is successful or not, I promise to give you a million investment to build your invention laboratory and promote the invention experiments that you are interested in. ”
If you want the other party to contribute, of course you have to induce them with benefits.
"A million investment? Gold coins?" The dwarf spokesman couldn't help but swallowed again.
Building your own invention laboratory is the dream of every dwarf inventor, but this is a very expensive job, and not every dwarf inventor can afford it.
Even on Lantan Island, there are many dwarf inventors crowded into a small invention laboratory.
"Of course it's gold coins." Gavin replied affirmatively.
The dwarf spokesman couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Conqueror, you have conquered my heart. No one can refuse your terms, not even the inventors on Lantan Island. I believe that as long as my information is sent back, the invention will be The committee members will come to visit you as soon as possible. "After they arrive, please go to Laoma City to find Ms. Luna. She can contact me as soon as possible." Gavin pointed to the horse behind him. Mother said.
It is indeed necessary to set up your own envoys in some places to facilitate ordinary allies to contact you. After all, you don't know where you will be the next day.
His current pace is very fast, and many times, plans cannot keep up with the changes.
After reaching a consensus on the matter, Gavin shifted the topic back to the original issue, "With the convenient road, there is another benefit, which is that you can adjust your industrial structure, which is closely related to the development of Dalauma. Combined together.
I wonder if you have heard of the emerging textile industry in Darauma. ”
"Not only have we heard about it, we are also the beneficiaries." Robock, the Voice of the Hills, pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "This clothes is made of Darauma's cloth. We Samis' foreign cloth and finished products More than 80% of the clothes come from Dalauma ”
"Let me introduce to you, this is Master Nicole. She led the technological improvement of Dalamar's textile industry." Gavin pushed out another companion behind him.
Of course, he did not bring the Pixar Girl out just for sightseeing, but to further expand the depth of the textile industry.
The small race also has its own unique advantage, that is, dexterity.
They are ideally suited to occupations that are not physically demanding and rely heavily on hands-on skills.
The textile industry is among this group.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"She is Master Nicole? Master Nicole is a Pixie? No wonder... No wonder the finished clothes produced by Darauma have the unique beauty of the fey!" Londel, the dwarf spokesman, couldn't help but look up and down. He was looking at the Pik Elf girl, with a strong interest in her expression.
Weird inventions, bizarre illusions, and colorful costumes are the hallmarks of dwarves.
The dwarf spokesman's clothing left a deep impression on people. His upper body was wearing a brown vest. The texture seemed rough but revealed a simple beauty. The vest was tailored to fit.
The lower body is wearing a set of bloomers of the same color, which looks a bit loose and funny. On the feet is a pair of bright green pointed-toe shoes, with the toes turned up and a unique shape. Coupled with the thick long brown-red hair, it is really unforgettable. .
"The travel cloth made by Master Nicole is good news for travelers and mountain races. It is strong and wear-resistant. Now this kind of cloth is the most popular here." The focus of Voice of the Hills Robock is the same. The dwarf spokesman's words were obviously different.
"Thank you for your recognition." Nicole responded generously, "Dalauma's textile industry is just in its infancy, and there is still huge room for improvement.
However, my ability in mechanical manufacturing is very limited and I have encountered a bottleneck. I am unable to further improve the textile machine.
I heard Sir Gavin say that you dwarfs are the best at inventing the race in the world. I wonder if we can find a breakthrough here. ”
The little girl's mouth was like honey. She not only complimented the dwarfs present, but also flattered Gavin invisibly, improving his favorability among the dwarfs.
Of course, everything she said was true.
Her transformation of textile tools has indeed reached a limit - not only the limit of her ability, but also the limit of Dalauma's entire industrial system.
If you want to move forward, it is not something that one person can lead, but a group of people - a group of people who are good at invention and creation - are needed to lead the advancement of the entire industrial system.
The dwarf inventor is one of the solutions recommended by Gavin for Nicole.
Rondel couldn't help but said in surprise: "Your Majesty the Conqueror means that you are willing to share Dalauma's latest textile technology with us?"
In the eyes of dwarfs, inventions and creations are the most valuable wealth. Even within dwarfs, it is difficult to share knowledge and technology.
Not to mention interacting with foreigners, especially the new textile technology, which is one of the fundamentals of Dalauma.
"Technology can only be innovated through communication. Staying stuck on one's own will cause a huge waste of manpower and resources."
Gavin responded, "As long as you are willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, not only Darauma's textile technology, but also other technologies in my territory can be shared with you.
Correspondingly, I also have priority in applying the technology you develop on this basis.
But I don’t use it in vain, I pay the corresponding fee according to the situation.
I will discuss the specific situation with the Invention Committee to ensure that you can harvest matching research and invention expenses during this process and continue to invest in new research and inventions. ”
"If the Conqueror can really do this, it will definitely be good news for all inventors." Although the dwarf spokesman was full of praise, he was actually not very optimistic about it.
Many things are deep-rooted and have been integrated into life and customs. How could there be huge changes just because of a few words from the other party?
Gavin seemed to have seen through the true thoughts of the dwarf spokesman, and did not argue too much. He continued: "Paving roads is only the first step. The second step is to invest in setting up factories here and build textile and garment factories as needed. Strive to boost the local economy and give residents here a better life.”
Words alone are very hollow in many things, especially in such worldly matters.
Instead of rhetoric, it is better to use practical benefits to guide.
When those people see the practical benefits, they will naturally flock to it. This is a full use of profit-seeking.
This is what he has learned from his experience over the past three years.
Regardless of the person he communicates with, he seems to be very enlightened and wise.
In fact, this is just an illusion.
In fact, because the popularity of education is too low, most intelligent beings are ignorant and ignorant. In many cases, even step-by-step instructions are of little use.
He wants to start the industrial era, but he also lacks a talent base.
This is why he is eager to build his own arcane academy. Talent reserve is the most urgent thing at the moment.
"We will consider it carefully."
Two rulers of the Samis Hills gave equivocal answers.
The Crowned One in Wildas Forest may be the hardest to convince, but once convinced, he is the one who turns the most direction.
On the contrary, the halflings and dwarfs of the Samis Hills are the least difficult to persuade, have the smallest degree of turning, and are the easiest to change.
They will be like grass on the wall, constantly changing as the situation in the Kingdom of Tethyr develops.
This is determined by their way of survival.
This can only be achieved through penetration and change in economic, cultural and military aspects, and this is Zalanda's job.
Gavin was just responsible for paving the way for her.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially this kind of secular mission, which has attracted much attention.
The most caring among them belong to the noble warlords of Tethyr Kingdom.
Zaze Sibo.
In the capital of the Kingdom of Tethyr, the palace meeting hall was filled with people, noisy like a morning market.
"I have said many times that Zalanda is an alien. She cannot be of the same mind as us. We should not tolerate her existence from the beginning. When she loses her footing, we should remove her. Its complete erasure.”
"I've told you all the good things to say, but every time when we actually sent troops to go on an expedition, you kept hesitating and making all kinds of excuses. Either your territory was being harassed by monster tribes, or the food harvest was bad, and you had no food or money. She has grown up to this level, and your responsibility is not much smaller than ours.”
"Who would have thought that an unknown country knight could develop to this level in a short period of time?" (End of Chapter)
