Chapter 48 Forging the Barrel
The villagers don't always focus on military training. After Alan taught the assassin tutorial, jobs were opened again.

Successful candidates do not need to participate in military training, but will devote themselves to another career.

For example, female businessmen, directors of steelmaking plants, deputy supervisors of ironmaking blast furnaces, etc.

It's just that there are not many people in demand for this type of position, often only one or two are enough, and the recruits are management talents or business talents.

Marian recently went south to sell two large towns and a port city, and the small villages sold less. After going there once, she lost interest in the small villages, and instead set her sights on the upstream Morning Glory Town and the big eastern city of Silver City.

"Marian, do you think I can do this?"

A thin catwoman stood in front of her, turning around on the spot according to the interviewer's request. After the turn, she pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands and looked at Marian eagerly.

The female businessman is a profession with a mediocre salary in the village, but has a commission. It is said that Marianne got a commission of a golden dragon after working for a while.

In other words, the merchants in Datie Village are Alan's wage earners. They haven't saved enough private capital yet, and all the capital they use for each business comes from the public. They are only responsible for running errands and negotiating business with eloquence.

"You can't." Marianne calmly glanced at the catgirl's chest.

She talked about more than a dozen businesses, and found that the lion tribe people especially like to look at the breasts and buttocks, followed by the face and skin, so she also valued such places when reviewing.

"Oh." The cat girl who applied for the job bowed her head, rubbed her small breasts, and left disappointed.

Seeing her lowering her head and wiping her tears, Marianne was stunned, as if seeing her original self, with the same frustrated eyes.

If she hadn't been brave enough to sacrifice herself and was favored by Martin, she wouldn't be where she is today.

"and many more!"

"You can try it, if you can't do it, forget it."

Young cat girls are all cat slaves in the past. Only cat slaves who are good-looking and have pure hair color will be recognized by the slave owner for her golden dragon value, and specially cultivated with nutritious meals.

However, they haven't been on the auction stage yet, and have been rescued by Allen's No. [-] team.

The applicant in front of me is a cat girl with pure hair color, her face is also tender and tender, not too thin, although she is flat, but as long as she masters the language skills, she might be able to make a career out of it.

The black cat girl who thought she had lost the election immediately stopped her tears, and quickly bent down to thank Marian, "Thank you, sister Marian!"

……

When Marian was choosing merchants, Allen also began to choose powerful slaves as gunsmiths.

"Master Alan, I have the greatest strength!" The tauren yelled loudly, carrying a large stone with each arm, the big muscles of both arms were tense, full of the beauty of strength.

This is a tauren slave, and the only tauren in the village. He is two meters tall and has strong arms. The slave group with him always gets the No. 1 farming of the day.

"Well, you've been selected." Allen originally wanted to train the tauren's awakening skill, and hammering the ground is a good skill for opening foundations.

However, he himself has not researched the training and awakening methods of various races, so let him be a blacksmith for now.

"Master Alan, our Lion Clan is much stronger than the blacksmith of the Cat Clan, choose me!" The Lion Clan slave stared wide-eyed and patted his chest.

"Okay, you are also selected."

Allen selected hundreds of strong players from the slave group, basically all of them were lion clan, dog head clan, and pig clan.

The lion tribe, the dog-head tribe, and the pig-human tribe are all human appearances. They have dog ears or pig ears on their hair, and their small tails grow a few centimeters above the pi's eyes.

Some races with short tails can hide their tails in their clothes, such as pig tails, rabbit tails and the like.

Allen brought these powerful slaves into the blacksmith shop, announcing that if these preparatory blacksmith slaves worked hard, they would definitely become freemen in two months.

"Master Alan, you are here, come and see how my round stick is doing?"

"It's alright."

Allen inspected the gun barrel workshop of the blacksmith shop, where most blacksmiths cast gun barrels day and night.

If you want to make a gun, you need to work hard on the barrel. However, Allen doesn't have a gun yet, so he uses the casting method to make the barrel for the time being. After the village's armed forces take shape, he will consider upgrading the barrel technology.

Regarding the casting, the blacksmiths naturally don't need to talk about it, they just cast the liquid metal into the barrel mold.

After casting, it is forged for [-] days, and then the outer skin is processed, and a hole is drilled in the center of the steel rod with a drilling machine. A simple gun barrel is basically completed, followed by grinding and polishing.

As for the rifling, the output power of the current steam engine is not stable enough, and the output varies from time to time, so it is impossible to make a stable rifling, so it is not considered to be a rifled gun for the time being.

To sum up, the gun made by this method is fast enough, but the quality is not very good.

This type of barrel is generally thick and the head is heavy, which seriously affects the accuracy of the gun. Moreover, it is easy to foam when casting and cooling, and it is difficult to achieve a smooth surface on the inner bore of the barrel, which sometimes causes the barrel to explode.

Allen randomly arranged this group of slaves and blacksmith apprentices to the blacksmiths, asking them to try to teach them.

Of course, Allen will first demonstrate it himself, use his top eloquence to educate, shorten the education time of slaves, and make the gun-making industry faster and better.

"Master Allen is going to do it himself."

"It's a rare opportunity, you slaves can remember Lord Allen's kindness, don't let him down!"

The blacksmith slaves were as obedient as chickens pecking at rice, watching Alan's operation with wide eyes, and Alan's gentle voice came from his ears, blowing into his head like a spring breeze, replaying it over and over again, which made people remember deeply, as if I have made gun barrels hundreds of times by myself.

Allen waved for a while. This was hard work, and he was sweating profusely. He felt that these slaves should have an impression, so he stopped working and let the blacksmiths continue to work.

"Okay, blacksmiths, you continue to teach the slaves how to do it. The gun barrel factory should be forging 24 hours a day. I need to produce qualified gun barrels as soon as possible." Allen brought the second class of slaves this time so that they can work Half a day later, I changed shifts and continued forging.

Afterwards, he will bring in a third class of slaves, trying to achieve three alternate forging shifts a day, shortening the gun-making time.

"Yes!" The orcs responded loudly.

Allen walked out of the gun barrel factory, thinking about the time it would take to make the gun. If he worked twelve hours a day, it would still take a month under his leadership to avoid detours.

Now that there is a second class of slaves, the time can be shortened by more than ten days.

Now many unnamed slaves have also started to work as blacksmiths. The entire blacksmith shop is no longer a blacksmith shop in the traditional sense. Under Alan's management, it has gradually become a collection of ironmaking, steelmaking and manufacturing machines. body.

Of course, the manufacture of the first batch of gun barrels must have been full of difficulties. The orc had no experience in making gun barrels. He calculated the time it took to dump cotton before, and estimated that the flintlock guns would be available in three weeks.

　I thought it would be easy to make a gun, but after looking it up, I found out that making the barrel is time consuming.
