I farm in Terra

Seeing Ines who was so contradictory, W thought for a few seconds, and then said: "This time, just go over there to resupply, and then we will go to the territory of Ursas, which seems to be lively recently. , if you go there, there should be a lot of business to do."

W said this and looked at Hedley: "By the way, when we get to that city, restrain the people under our command and clean up before we leave."

"That city is basically composed of patients with Originium disease. Although most of us are patients with Originium disease, we have to restrain ourselves when we get there. After all, it is different from Kazdel, it is not a war-torn area. , There is also enough ability to protect the people under him."

"If something out of the ordinary is done there, we will probably be miserable."

After speaking, W walked into the distance.

Looking at W who just left like this, Ines just thought for a second, then looked at Hedley: "I'll go over."

Hearing this, Hedley nodded.

..................

Following W, Ines came to the edge of a cliff. She looked at W standing on the edge of the cliff and didn't speak. After all, she knew what kind of person W was like, so she understood, She will not do anything dangerous.

But now Ines is waiting for W's opening.

A few minutes later, W said, "So, what are you doing looking for me?"

"Didn't you ask me to come here?" Ines said so and looked at W: "Although I probably guessed what you want me to say."

Hearing this, W just smiled: "It's really a convenient ability."

This is just a very simple speculation.

Ines said so and walked to W's side: "Fang Ye is not a bad person, but his identity is too subtle."

"You mean..."

"It's hard to judge the specifics, but I can probably guess some possibilities." Saying this, Ines spoke again: "All the races on this land have similar physical characteristics, but if we compare them according to the race If you look at it, it’s impossible for this to happen.”

Hearing this, W nodded.

"And after all our features are removed, we can see the key things." Ines said this and looked into the distance: "If you say this, you should be able to understand."

W nodded to Ines' words.

And there was silence between the two of them.

The silence lasted until several minutes later.

"Okay, we should go back."

"...Yeah, it's time to go back."

[-] Who is Ying Jiang's favorite child?It's my firepower covering!

Fang Ye's city was as peaceful as ever, but in this calmness, the order for the third airship from the Shi Huaiya family was finally completed.

At the same time, the new minerals from the Rim Billiton mine were finally delivered.

Of course, there is still not much sulfur in this batch of minerals...

Although it is not difficult to mine sulfur, for Fang Ye, what is important is not the mining, but the mining location. After all, Fang Ye has bought several mines, and it is really not difficult to mine.

Simply because the mining site of the mineral cannot be found.

Of course, the sulfur that Fang Ye asked Shi Huaiya to purchase has not yet arrived.

So if you want to quickly install muskets, you can only think about it.

As for why not just use yellow gunpowder....

Of course, it was because Fang Ye didn't have the equipment to mass-produce yellow gunpowder here.

Although it is possible to manufacture in small batches, the problem is that Fang Ye does not intend to manufacture in small batches. After all, it is different from other countries' understanding of war.

Fang Ye came from an era when it was good to be big and far away was a cow, so Fang Ye knew very well how quickly weapons would be consumed once a war broke out, so in order to ensure that such things as the deployment of the entire army appeared in his own city, Fang Ye could only choose flintlock and black powder first.

As for why Fang Ye has already started generating electricity and still uses black powder, I have to mention Taila's hip-pull chemical technology.

In an environment with such chemical technology, Fang Ye couldn't find a factory that could mass-produce what he wanted...

Otherwise, Fang Ye could actually buy it directly and let the other party work for him.

And the problem is that there isn't.

So under such circumstances, Fang Ye could only do what he could do first.

"First of all, we have to make a cannon." Fang Ye looked at HK416 after saying this, "Do you have any good recommendations?"

"Cannon?" Looking at Fang Ye, HK416 was full of doubts.

"Well, do you have any good recommendations?"

Shi Huaiya, who was sitting on the side, was listening to Fang Ye and HK416's discussion. She didn't know whether she should recommend things like city defense guns.

But in the next second, HK416 said, "Let's install a smoothbore gun in the front."

"Ah, that's a good feeling." The moment HK416 said this, Fang Ye understood the reason why HK416 said this.

Different from the demand for ammunition of the rear-loading gun, the front-loading gun actually only needs an iron barrel, and because it is a smoothbore, there is actually no such thing as increased man-hours for rifling.

And if one considers that wars could happen at any time now, this thing might be the most suitable thing for Fang Ye.

Jing Zhe sat on the side and listened to this, only thought for a few seconds, and then looked at Fang Ye: "I know the gun, but what is the front-mounted smoothbore gun?"

"Oh, for this, you can use it as a weapon that can be used on the battlefield." Fang Ye thought for a few seconds while saying this, and then said again: "At present, what is the maximum range of the crossbow? "

Regarding Fang Ye's words, Jing Zhe only thought for a few seconds before speaking: "The bow and arrow are 600 meters, and the crossbow is about 450 meters."

Hearing this, Fang Ye just nodded: "Very good, basically it didn't exceed my estimate." Saying this, Fang Ye looked at HK416: "What's the range of that?"

"About 1000 meters to 500 meters, if iron shells are used." HK416 was a little uncertain when he said this.

This is also a matter of course. After all, the range of the front-mounted guns is not very good, but at least it is much better than Terra, where bows and crossbows are still used on a large scale.

After hearing the introduction given by HK416, Jing Zhe only thought for a few seconds before realizing the importance of this cannon fire.

As we all know, the main attack method of humans, or hairless monkeys, is to throw stones...

And this is something that even people from another world cannot avoid.

After all, the melee attack is only a short distance away, and under normal circumstances, the melee attack is not as good as the long-range attack.

After all, it is a very profitable behavior for humans to be able to deal with the opponent when they can't see the opponent.

and...

"Human cost." Shi Huaiya, who uttered the word, bit her nails.

What Fang Ye did to the population in his city was that the entire Terra would not choose an education method, and it was precisely because of this that when he heard the range of the artillery, Shi Huaiya understood the true meaning of the appearance of the artillery.

After being reminded by Shi Huaiya and noticing the labor cost, Jingzhe also reacted: "If a person's training takes several months, then the battle that can be completely free from melee combat is..."

The girl who understood this realized the real purpose of the discussion between Fang Ye and HK416.

Looking up at Fang Ye, Shi Huaiya only thought for a few seconds before speaking again: "How long is the training time for a cannon?"

Looking at Fang Ye, the girl asked such a question.

Facing the question raised by Jing Zhe, Fang Ye just looked at HK416.

Facing Fang Ye's gaze, HK416 just thought for a few seconds, and then gave an answer: "The fastest, three hours? The slowest, one day?"

Speaking like this, HK416 paused for a while: "But in this case, probably you can only learn how to fire a gun, and don't think so much about other things."

Hearing this, Fang Ye just thought about it, and then continued: "There is no need to learn to aim, at least in this world, there is no need to learn this."

"...That's right, there is not a lot of artillery fire in this world yet, so under such circumstances, we only need to cover firepower." After being reminded by Fang Ye, HK416 said this.

After hearing the strange term, the girl just looked at Fang Ye with Shi Huaiya: "Fire coverage?"

"Probably firing tens of thousands of shells in an area within 5 minutes." Saying this, Fang Ye looked at Shi Huaiya: "If you say that, you should be able to understand it, right?"

After getting such an answer, Shi Huaiya naturally realized what the biggest benefit of this operation was.

The biggest advantage of this operation is to reduce the training cost as much as possible, and at the same time, it can also protect our trainees.

This means that the two sides have entered into an unequal situation.

Of course, this is also normal. After all, it takes several months for one side to train soldiers, and Fang Ye's time for training soldiers may be shorter than making a cannon...

This is completely unreasonable.

After figuring this out, Shi Huaiya only thought for a few seconds before looking at Fang Ye: "Can we..."

"It can be purchased, but we will only provide retired products. The price is [-] Longmen coins per cannon, and shells and gunpowder are calculated separately."

"Then book a hundred doors first."

"Sincere~"

A word on the front line of [-], the logistics are scolding

Smoothbore guns are not difficult to manufacture, at least for Nian.

Looking at the complicated situation on the design drawing, Nian could tell at a glance what this thing was for.

Therefore, after a little thought, she spoke again: "If this thing is made too thin, it probably won't be able to withstand the explosion inside."

Regarding Nian's words, Mel, who was also looking at the design drawing, nodded: "That's true, but the thickness is written on it. If you follow this thickness, there shouldn't be much problem."

Mel, who was speaking like this, paused for a while, and then spoke again: "But if you want to be lightweight, you probably have to start with the thickness and material."

After staring at the blueprint for a few seconds, Xuezhi finally said, "There should be no way to use that method."

The snow pheasant who said so pointed out some locations on the design drawing: "Because of the cost, we can't use better materials."

"After all, it seems that the quantity that needs to be manufactured is written here."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the position Xuezhi pointed out.

"Two thousand doors...." Seeing this number, the little penguin, who was particularly sensitive to this kind of material, gasped.

"A conservative estimate, the weight of this cannon may reach about [-] kilograms, if it is [-]..." After estimating a number in his mind, Nian felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this number.

Of course, this is also a matter of course, after all, the demand for this amount is too much.

After realizing this, Nian took another look at the quantity requirements.

Well, fine, no change.

Then the year fell.

To be honest, even if it is a year, there is no guarantee that so many cannons will be produced.

And looking at Nian who fell directly, Mel felt sweating profusely just looking at this number.

To be honest, she is still not used to the work intensity in Fang Ye's place. Of course, she also understands the work intensity.

After all, Fang Ye's city has only just been established. Under such circumstances, a lot of high-intensity work is taken for granted, and the new knowledge here has also taught Mel a lot.

However, after a little silence, Mel said, "What a troublesome situation."

Mel, who said this, glanced at the design drawing, and then said: "Our side should be able to take care of the assembly."

"For me, the punch press and the drill press are basically ready, but they are only partly done, and there is no part that I need to add."

The snow pheasant who said this thought for a few seconds, and then said again: "The design of this aspect seems to be very troublesome."

Hearing what Snow Pheasant said, the little penguin thought of a more critical question: "What are these things going to be used for?"

"...Really, what is this thing used for?" Looking at the structure of this thing, Mel also asked this question.

Because Mel could clearly see the usefulness of this thing and where it would come in handy, that's why she felt puzzled.

..................

"Two thousand gates, can our production capacity support it? Don't forget that we still have to build the railroad track to Daxista." RPK16 paused a little while saying this, and then looked at Fang Ye: "Our The output isn't that high, is it?"

"No, the excess needs are directly purchased." Fang Ye paused for a while while saying this, and then spoke again: "Besides the Shihuaiya Group, we have another thing."

"You mean the mine?"

"Well, the mines over there can basically continue to transport iron ore. Although the transport volume is not high, it should be enough." Having said this, Fang Ye sighed, and then continued: "But If it’s still not enough, then we can only buy it.”

Hearing this, Shi Huaiya just looked at Fang Ye: "What is the cooperation agreement signed with Xista for?"

"Because there's a volcano over there."

"Ah? Just because of the volcano?" Looking at Fang Ye, Shi Huaiya was full of doubts.
