Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 214 Making Guns (100 rewards thanks to Li Shizhen's steel)
On the way to the mill, Bart Stormpike kept asking [Armorsmith] Lucy all the time.

"Which craftsman is your master?"

"Why did you come to a remote place like River Beach Town?"

"Do you plan to travel to the Dwarf Kingdom in the future?"

……

Lucy never tired of these questions.

Now Bart Stormpike's expression is as vivid as that of an ordinary swordsman who has met the peerless martial arts of the "Evil Resisting Sword Manual" level.

But then again, for a dwarf blacksmith, Lucy's forging skills are indeed peerless martial arts.

Not long after, Sean led the dwarves to the door of the mill.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mill, Sean suddenly thought of one thing:

Since Lucy has such superb forging skills, why should he expose the strategic weapons such as artillery to the dwarves?

So Sean said to the dwarves behind him: "You guys stand here and wait for a while. I'll go in and be right back!"

The dwarves didn't know why, but they all stopped.

Sean walked into the mill and closed the door immediately.

Looking into the mill, the [Ship Cannon] and the [Dwarf Marksman] White Bronzebeard sitting on the cannon are directly opposite.

It may be because it took too long to build the equipment just now, and White Bronzebeard was lying on the cannon and fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, Sean couldn't help but shook his head and snapped his fingers at the same time.

"call out!"

[Ship-borne artillery] instantly turned into a white light and flew over, engulfing Sean's fingertips.

Without the support of the cannon, White Bronzebeard fell to the ground unexpectedly, his face and body were covered with dust.

However, this fall also awakened White Bronzebeard from his sleep, so he quickly got up and patted the dust on his face and upper body.

Just about to get angry, but seeing Sean staring at him, White Bronzebeard immediately realized his mistake and said angrily:
"My lord, you are here!"

Shawn shook his head again, walked to the door and shouted to the dwarves outside:

"Everyone come in!"

When the dwarves heard what Sean said, they swarmed into the mill led by Lucy.

……

Wen De Sole and Anduin walked in the front, but after entering the door, they found that the [Ship Artillery] was missing, and immediately looked at Sean suspiciously.

Xiao En smiled at them and shook his head, then picked up the musket parts that White Bronzebeard had disassembled and walked to the front of the dwarf army.

Originally Sean wanted to pass these parts to Bart Stormpike.

But after thinking about it seriously, Sean handed these parts to Lucy:
"Lucy, do you think these parts can be faked?"

Lucy took the parts and looked at them one by one, then nodded immediately and said:
"Sir, is this a dwarf musket? Of course you can imitate it once you have the finished product."

Bart Stormpike and the other dwarf blacksmiths did not take a direct look at the parts in Sean's hands, but when they heard the word "dwarf musket", all eyes were instantly focused on the parts in Sean's hands.

"Dwarf musket" sounds like something from their dwarves!
But what is a "gun"?A spear that shoots magical flames?But what His Royal Highness Sean is holding is obviously a steel pipe?

The dwarves looked at each other in confusion, and all said they had never heard of "muskets."

After Sean heard Lucy's words, he hurriedly dragged Lucy into the depths of the mill, and arranged a zero-level magic sound-proof barrier.

After setting up the barrier, Sean said to Lucy:

"Lucy, I will hand over all the equipment manufacturing of the territory to you in the future, you can't be so reckless!"

Lucy didn't know what was wrong with her, so she could only look at Sean pitifully.

Xiao En had no choice but to tell Lucy in detail about "there is no musket in this world, and the significance of musket to the territory is very great".

The dwarves have been standing outside watching Sean and Lucy talking, and at the same time staring at the parts in Sean's hands, constantly discussing the relationship between the fire magic spear and the steel pipe.

But after a long discussion, they didn't come to any conclusion.

Sean and Lucy's conversation was over quickly.

At the end of the conversation, Sean also emphasized to Lucy:
"I've already said the importance of muskets. In short, don't tell the dwarves what it's for, including the cannons you build in the future!"

"Understood, my lord!" Lucy assured.

"Also, you have to slowly teach the dwarf blacksmiths your forging skills." Sean told Lucy:
"Teach some marginal knowledge that is not very important first, and then slowly transition to the core knowledge. In short, try to extend their stay in River Beach Town as long as possible!"

"Okay, my lord!" Lucy replied confidently: "The top forging technique is not achieved overnight, it takes a long time to hone.

Moreover, their forging level is very low, and I have to spend time correcting their wrong habits. As long as they are still interested in top-notch forging techniques, I am confident that they will not be able to leave River Beach Town within three years! "

"very good!"

Sean patted Lucy on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Lucy, how many days would it take you to make a dwarf musket?"

Lucy looked at the parts in her hands and replied:

"My lord, the butt part is very simple, and the most time-consuming part is the barrel. The forging process of the barrel is not complicated, but it takes time:
First, beat the wrought iron into pieces. After the wrought iron pieces are heated red, a circular steel bar is placed in the middle. They are repeatedly rotated and struck in a steel semicircular groove to beat the wrought iron pieces into a gun barrel. shape, then use iron powder and borax to weld the gaps, and beat repeatedly until the weld is firm.

After the barrel is roughly formed, place the barrel on a drilling tool to drill a hole, apply oil on the drill bit, replace it with a larger drill bit bit by bit, and plan away the uneven spots inside the barrel bit by bit until it is inside the barrel. Drill a smooth bore"

Lucy talked endlessly, which made Sean's head feel a little dizzy:
"Stop, stop, Lucy, just say it can be completed in a few days!"

"If it were an ordinary blacksmith, the production cycle of the gun barrel would be about twelve days! The gun stock is very simple, and it would only take about sixteen or seventeen days in total."

"Sixteen or seven days? Is it so long?" Sean was a little dissatisfied.

According to this speed, Brody can only produce a dozen muskets when he hits River Beach Town, which is not enough.

Lucy smiled: "Of course, I'm talking about an ordinary blacksmith without fighting spirit. If I do it myself, with the blessing of fighting spirit, I can make one in about a week!"

Hearing Lucy's words, Sean was overjoyed: "I feel relieved with your words! Lucy, you should do your best to make muskets these days!"

Sean removed the sound-proof barrier while talking:

"Anduin, all the supplies that Lucy and the others need must be given priority at all costs!"

"Understood, my lord!"
