Release that Witch

60. Chapter 60 Layout

    Border Town’s second recruiting was much smoother than the first, thanks to the winter food ration, the militia team can get more and better food. Every week on the family day, there are many players who secretly hand over the bread and dried meat that they have saved on weekdays to their loved ones. Roland told Carter and Iron Axe not to interfere with the matter, and the loved ones happily brought the food back home and spread the news to his neighbors.

    A force composed of people is an excellent publicity model in itself. It’s much more effective to talk to each other than City Hall’s deliberate propaganda. Most people in the old town of Old Town now know this – the Militia team built by His Royal Highness is not only well-paid, but also eats three meals a day. It doesn’t seem so dangerous to fight Evil Beast’s. Therefore, when recruiting troops for the second time, the number of people in the old districts has greatly increased, and even residents of the new districts have come to register.

    The number of people who met the requirements was much higher than Roland’s expectations, so the second militia team enrolled 200 people and was trained by Carter on weekdays. When the horn blew, they went to the city wall and stood by as an auxiliary force.

    Both Chief Knight and Assistant Minister have disputed this. At present, the first militia team is qualified to defend against Evil Beast’s combat mission. At this time, the second team is recruited, and the number is more than twice that of the first team. . Higher foods and salaries than the general population will lead to aggravation of the financial expenditure burden, and this extra cost of gold royal has not played a significant role.

    However, Roland insisted on his decision.

    Because these people are not prepared to deal with Evil Beast.

    For the time being, he did not dare to inform his men about his plans. Before Duke didn’t start, he had the intention of attacking stronghold – this idea is now out, Carter and Barov are completely unacceptable.

    Unlike the Border Town, Longsong Stronghold, the official border of the Kingdom of Greycastle, has a wall that is ten meters high and is made up of blocks of bricks and stones. Duke and the Western Region Six major family are stationed in the inner city, and the number of adjustable soldiers is estimated to be around a thousand. In theory, the militia team, which is less than 300 of its own, is basically impossible to win a stronghold in the siege warfare – even if it is equipped with a cross-era musket.

    Due to the existence of the God Punishment Stone, the witch could not be used as a dagger weapon, which Roland had repeatedly confirmed to Nightingale. The famed noble such as Duke Ryan and Six major family will definitely spare no effort when purchasing the God Punishment Stone – of course, the outside world is called a donation. This kind of donation to dozens of gold royals can be exchanged for the ability to block the ability of the witch within a certain range. It is the most powerful weapon that Church claims to fight Devil, and the biggest entry for them every year.

    The only opportunity for Roland is in the field.

    Thanks to this era, most of the wars between the feudal lords are the calling mode. The men who want to be called will not be able to sneak in the middle of the road, and the feudal lord will basically be accompanied by the team, which gives Roland the opportunity to carry out the annihilation battle. But how to grasp this opportunity, he is still unable to do anything. After all, his experience of enticing the enemy is all from film and television works or historical stories, and has never actually been manipulated.

    Since I don’t understand, I still have to do what I am good at, he thought.

    Roland stretched out and walked out of the office, walking alone into the backyard shed.

    The assembled steam No. 2 machine stands quietly in the center of the site. At first glance, its appearance is much cleaner than the steaming machine, and the traces of the welds of large parts are no longer as uneven as before. This is a masterpiece of Anna’s new ability. Her green fire can be drilled into small gaps for welding, and the large pieces that are pieced together are better than ever.

    In the follow-up model is stronger than the original model, the magic change model is stronger than the follow-up model, and the steam No. 2 machine has been equipped with a centrifugal governor. As the first automatic control system and feedback system in human history, its appearance can be called extraordinary. The structure of the governor is very simple. The main body consists of two hinged thin rods welded to the iron ball and a rotating main rod. At first glance, it is like a bamboo pole that is often played as a child. As soon as the bamboo poles are quickly moved, the two rotating blades will automatically rise due to the centrifugal force.

    For the governor, the two iron balls are equivalent to the fan blades. When the steam engine is working, the main rod rotates. When the output is too high, the speed of the small ball is increased, and the centrifugal force is gradually increased, which drives the lever off. valve. When the output is low, the ball speed is slowed down, and the position is lowered under the influence of gravity, thereby increasing the valve. Keep the Steam engine running at a fixed power level.

    With the speed controller, the steam No. 2 machine can now undertake some more elaborate processing tasks.

    The gear that was previously delivered to each blacksmith shop was also completed, and now it is perfectly in the corner of the shed.

    To look at the industrial production line, there is no such thing as a qualified work, all of which are thrown into the defective box and waiting for the return of the goods. But in this era, they are rare art pieces. The gears designed according to the involute curve have a harmonious beauty. The roulette under the infiltration of lard exudes the unique luster of metal.

    In addition to the gear group, the pedestal and caps that the carpenters are responsible for, as well as other components, are ready. He called the guards outside the door to Anna and began assembling the first steam-powered trampoline.

    In Roland’s plan, this is the quickest way to produce a musket.

    It is extremely time-consuming and laborious to rely on the blacksmith to manually knock out a barrel. With a trampoline, he only needs to pour out an iron bar and drill directly with a file to produce more than a dozen barrels a day.

    At the same time, by replacing the cutter head, the trampoline can also be used to cut the rifling, and the accuracy of the rifling with the rifling will be further improved.

    In this way, he is confident that the two militia teams and nearly three hundred people will be armed before the end of the winter.

    However, Roland still can’t guarantee that his citizen can still fill the aiming shot calmly in the face of Knight’s charge, instead of throwing the weapon and turning around. After all, the two teams have been set up for too short a time and have no experience in fighting others.

    Therefore, he must put more powerful firepower on the stage and completely defeat the enemy before it has formed a charge.

    That is cannon.

    As the god of war in the history of human warfare, the lethality and shock power of cannon is not comparable to that of firearms. A six-pound field gun with a range sufficient to launch an attack when the opponent assembles. The mixed army of this era is not likely to maintain discipline under the attack of artillery. As long as it is equipped with three or four field guns, the other side has no chance to charge.

    He has been planning step by step – with the manual milling machine, the gear can be used, and with the gear and the controllable steam No. 2, he can get a steam-powered trampoline. With a steam boring machine, he can machine a variety of barrels and barrels.

    At least two months before the end of the Months of Demon, the Border Town’s militia team will have the full power to compete with the Duke Army as long as the plan is implemented smoothly.
