Release that Witch

246. Chapter 246 New Gunpowder Project

    What is the symbol of the industrial age, Roland first thought of a steaming, steaming train on the rails.

    Oil-filled cast iron cylinders, thick crankshafts and huge iron wheels, rhythmic noise and vibration, and whistle sounds that cut through the sky – for him, the beauty of the first-time mechanics started with a steam train. Compared with the later generations, the high-precision machining is used to reduce the tremor, and the mechanical system that emphasizes sound insulation and sound absorption measures is undoubtedly more intuitive to show the power and beauty of the industry.

    He also wants to spread the rails in the territory, let the train drag the passengers and goods to and from the Western Region, but the ideal is good, but the reality is not satisfactory – don’t say that a steam train is built, just laying the rails The large amount of steel required is far beyond the iron ingot capacity of the Northern Slope furnace group.

    So the next best thing, the manpower-driven bicycle became Roland’s best choice. The more the flat roads in the territory are repaired, the greater the bicycle benefits. And compared to a steam train with a complicated structure, it requires almost no maintenance, and occasionally smears the chain to it it will be alright.

    If you plan to mass-produce bicycles, you can’t naturally make Anna hand-made, so he first had to set up a factory to train a group of professional workers for production and vehicle assembly. Considering that the Kingdom Road will not be completed until the next spring, the scale of the factory does not need to be too large. After the machine tool needed by Anna to create the assembly line, the workers will be familiar with the process of each link and produce it one month. Ten cars can be used. Among them, the highest technical content is the chain, which needs to be punched out of the chain by the machine, and then manually inserted into the pin to form the joint.

    But rubber parts like tires and brakes still need to be made by Soraya’s ability – but this part of the work is not very big, as long as the counter is ready, the Magic Pen can quickly draw a lot. The same is true for bearings. Rolling bearings with reliable performance cannot be used. A small steel sleeve can be used as a sliding bearing. The inner ring is covered with a smooth mirror coating, and the effect is not much worse than the former.

    When the bicycle was first introduced, only noble could afford such expensive transportation. In order to spread to the masses, in addition to publicity, Roland also intends to implement an installment payment system to minimize the purchase pressure. Of course, you can apply to the City Hall for this payment method only if you have obtained the citizenship ID card.

    The three men tossed in the garden for an afternoon, Carter Lannis was innocent in the name of Chief Knight, the first to master the cycling skills; Iron Axe followed, the second successfully circled the garden. Only Barov tried it more than ten times and failed. It wasn’t going to fall down in a crooked way, just couldn’t move straight. Finally, Roland had to let Soraya draw a static picture of his standing on the bike and the boss hands holding the handlebars.

    “So then it will be alright?”Witch asked after completing four huge posters.

    “You have to add two more words,” Roland thought for a moment. “The above is written: “The new era mount, I have it, and you will have it.”The following is written: “Bicycle Factory recruits workers, pays a lot, is well-paid, and has the opportunity to get a new car that belongs to you for free. You can sign up for City Hall with the primary educator. “”

……

    After handling the bicycle poster, the prince returned to the office and waited for a while before the dinner, and the personal guard called Cam Schuire.

    Nowadays, the development of mercury sulphate has finally made a breakthrough, and the development of a new generation of weapons can also be put on the agenda. There is no doubt that the Firearm era caliber represents justice, and the rate of fire represents freedom; the greater the power, the more glorious, the more turrets are more equal…However, the embarrassing problem is that, as this develops, the two acids produced by the laboratory method will soon be unable to keep up with consumption.

    For example, if you want to increase the rate of fire, you must discard the black gunpowder with more residue, and change it to smokeless * medicine, that is, fire cotton, or a mixture of fire cotton and nitrifying * glycerin. The same is true for high-powered explosives, trinitro-methyl toluene (TNT).It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it. You can replace it with nitrifying starch. In addition to poor stability, the power is even bigger than TNT.

    No matter what kind of thing, it requires a large amount of high-concentration fuming nitric acid, and purifying nitric acid requires a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid, which is not satisfied by the laboratory output. In other words, there is no way to use the industrial method to make two acids. Even if a more efficient weapon is developed, it will fall into the trap of being bulletless.

    When the chief alchemist walked into the office, Roland said, “I have a new assignment to give you.”

    “You please,” Cam shrugged. “As long as it is not attended, then it will be alright.”

    “I need more acid. At present, the output of the chemical laboratory alone cannot meet my needs. Therefore, your new task is to design a chemical system that can produce two acids efficiently and conveniently.”

    CHEMICALSystemHe looks a little confused.

    “Yes, it consists of one and several complete reaction devices. As long as the raw materials are put in, the finished products can be continuously produced.” Roland simply explained the nature of industrial production. “I don’t know much about this part. Take your own time and ponder.”

    Having said that, the prince also knows that this is a very difficult task. It is likely to take years to study, and it will not necessarily produce results. After all, what the other party can rely on is just some basic reaction principles and chemical equations on «Elementary Chemistry».

    “I understand,” Cam nodded. “The things you mentioned really make me feel refreshed.”

    “Whether you can finish it, the two acids are what I desperately need.”Roland paused, “So next month I plan to expand three more laboratories along the Scarlet Water River and recruit qualified candidates from the citizen as experimenters. If you don’t have time to teach them, pick a few disciples to take charge of them. After all, the industrial acidification process is a very long research project. ”

    Probably because of the temptation of “Intermediate Chemistry”, he promised it in one bite, “Yes, Your Highness.”

    After Cam Schuire left, Roland sighed softly.

    If the industrial acidification method does not see hope, Lucia can only follow the purification of acid. After all, when the war comes, he needs a stronger weapon to win the small town.

    Roland opened the drawer and planned to eat the dred fish to relieve the boring, but found that the drawers for storing snacks were empty.

    Hey, he raised the head, and saw a given fish has been handed to his mouth.

    “You are looking for this?”The blonde woman opposite smiles.

    Roland bit the dried fish and couldn’t help but curl up his mouth. “I thought you would stay in the fog for a lifetime.”

    “That’s pretty good, at least people can’t see me, but I can still see you.”Nightingale pouting.

    Originally, some dull moods dissipated a lot, and he couldn’t help but feel relieved when he saw the familiar appearance of the other party. “You said before, I don’t know what kind of expression to show…”

    “Yeah?”

    “Actually, it’s good like this.”
