The Primordial Wizard

Chapter 41 Rifling

In order to achieve good air-holding performance, the caliber of rifled gun bullets is often the same as or even slightly larger than the caliber of the gun, so it is extremely laborious to load.

It often takes a hammer to hammer the ramrod to drive the cartridge into place, which often results in the more dangerous chamber rupture, which is not the case with the Minie.

The diameter of the conical bullet is slightly smaller than the diameter of the barrel. There is a conical cavity at the bottom of the bullet. A cork blocks the bottom of the hole. When firing, the gas presses the cork into the cavity, forcing the bottom of the bullet to expand, close to the rifling, and seal it. The gap between the bullet and the barrel prevents the gas from leaking out, and allows the bullet to rotate at high speed under the pressure of the rifling.

At the same time, it solves the two problems of fast loading and airtightness of bullets.

Using the magic crystal shaping spell, you can quickly make Mines lead bullets. Lead bullets have a small melting point and are poisonous, making them the deadliest bullets.

Ace looked at the 300 rifled flintlock guns that had been produced, and his eyes showed satisfaction. This is the power of magic, and this is also the power of science. When the two are combined, they can create weapons that far surpass the technological level of the times. weapons.

Based on the same theory, Ace made a steel pipe rifled gun, so I won't repeat it here.

It is worth mentioning that the biggest advantage of the steel pipe rifled gun is its strong penetrating ability. Coupled with the Minie shell suitable for artillery, it is a powerful armor-piercing shell. Disabled.

Ace made a total of thirty rifled cannons. He looked at these freshly baked guns and cannons, and said to himself with satisfaction:

From this moment on, the powerful power of the gunpowder monster will be released, and mortals will also have the power to protect themselves!

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the territory's water storage dams, water diversion channels, water towers, water supply and drainage pipeline networks have been completed.

It was mid-autumn, and at noon, the scorching sun was scorching the earth. On the flat marble central square, all the residents of Luminous City gathered. In the center of the square was a large fountain made of pure white marble.

This was the completion ceremony of the three-month water storage, water supply, and drainage projects. All wizard apprentices and residents in Luminous City were summoned here.

Ace was wearing a black wizard robe, and the hexagram badge was shining brightly in the sun. Under the scorching sun, he should have been sweating profusely, but he didn't break out a drop of sweat.

He has completed the initial demonization of body and soul, so it is difficult for him to be affected by cold or heat. In other words, he has a physical talent similar to resistance to cold and heat.

He looked around at the crowd, and cast the secondary spell Bright Art on himself, spreading his magnetic voice to every corner of the square:

Today is a lucky day. A few days ago, we just finished harvesting the farmland in the north of Yeguang City. We have achieved an unimaginable harvest. The two big granaries in the city are already full!

Here, I would like to thank all Territory residents, present and absent, for all your hard work over the past year, and now it is time for us to celebrate and enjoy.

I can proudly announce that we don't need to be in progressive belts, as long as the work points are up to standard, everyone can eat with their stomachs open!

After Ace finished speaking, the residents present began to cheer from the bottom of their hearts. It is easy to say that they can always have enough food, but in fact, many residents have been hungry and full since birth. Until now, they started Have a real sense of belonging to the territory.

After a year of hard work, the barbarian-born freedmen have undergone tremendous changes in various aspects such as hairstyles, clothing, language, and habits. Looking forward to a full meal, in another generation or 20 years, a brand new culture and a brand new nation will be formed here!

We not only need to have enough food, we also need to eat safely and abundantly!

Territory Farm has already started planning to grow vegetables and fruits. Not long ago, we also discovered high-quality pastures, which are being planted in large quantities. In the next few years, we will raise a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, chickens, ducks and fish.

In the future, there will be not only white bread on everyone's table, but also roast leg of lamb, roast suckling pig, and steamed fish. As long as everyone is closely united by the tower wizard collective, all life will only be better!

Just a few months ago, we encountered a huge flash flood, and almost the whole of Luminous City was submerged. Thanks to the apprentice wizards who were present, they cast spells and saved us all. I propose that everyone report to the apprentice wizards present With warm applause!

Even without using any mind-affecting spells, Ace's powerful spiritual power spontaneously infected everyone. They recalled the scene of being rescued by wizard apprentices when the flash flood came, and recalled that when the monsters attacked the farmland, Ace and others shot In the scene of killing monsters, after a moment of silence, the applause sounded like thunder.

After a long time, Ace pressed several times, and finally made everyone stop. He listened to the low-pitched discussions of the people, envied the extraordinary power, appreciated the wizard apprentice, and longed to become a wizard apprentice. This kind of atmosphere is the social atmosphere he wants to create.

He continued with satisfaction: In order to completely solve the impact of the mountain torrents, and for the daily water and drainage of everyone present, we used the power of magic to build a giant dam with a height of 50 meters in the west of the valley!

With it, we no longer have to be troubled by flash floods, and we don't have to worry about irrigation when it is dry.

In addition, we use the power of magic to build four arched aqueducts, four high water storage towers, dozens of water distribution towers, and countless water supply and drainage pipeline networks. Use the sweet Runguang River water!

This is the power of magic, magic is the first productive force, magic is the first driving force, magic accelerates production, magic changes life!

Not long after Ace's voice fell, the four high water storage towers began to supply water with overpressure. After a while, the large fountain behind him began to spray water automatically, and the water supply of the entire pipe network project was successful!

Only the excess water supply can have sufficient water pressure, and the excess water supply is used to clean every block in the morning and evening, and then carries the mud and dirt along the well-developed underground drainage network to flow into the downstream of the river.

After one year, this city with citizens, potential citizens, freedmen and a small number of slaves was finally established. The entire city was guarded by a city wall as high as eight meters. Inside the city were vertical and horizontal stone paved roads and scattered stone buildings. In the farms in the north of the city, the straw after the harvest is concentrated and composted, and vegetable plantations and fruit plantations are being cultivated.

Across the river, a large number of forage grass seeds were sown by the workers. The wizard apprentices used the secondary nourishment technique to moisten the grass seeds and accelerate their growth. This will be the future pasture.

Two wide paved avenues connect the western embankment and the northern mining area with Luminous City. This is not only a large town, but also a thriving city. What it lacks is more people.

In the early days, Ace was not prepared to conquer a large number of barbarians. Even as slaves, a certain base of civilized population was needed to assimilate better.

Now that the food harvest has been plentiful, it is time to train musketeers and artillery, cut wood and build ships, and establish a commercial fleet on the east coast of the Salia peninsula.
