After sending Khadgar away, Sean, Windsor, and Anduin rode back to the town.
In the center of the town, the three of them went their separate ways.
Anduin went to find the dwarf sharpshooter, and also went to greet the dwarf blacksmiths;
Sean took Windsor to the mill outside the castle.
This mill was very familiar to Sean.
A dozen days ago, Sean directed the carpenter Paul to make a distillation device in this mill, successfully distilled spirits, and made huge profits in the city of Yohn.
But when Sean went to Yohn City, he took all the craftsmen away, and the mill became idle at that time, until now.
When Sean walked into the mill again, the mill was already covered with dust.
...
After entering the mill, Sean first looked around.
The mill was quiet and there was no one around.
Sean was worried, so he checked every small room in the mill, and after making sure that no one was there, he ordered Windsor:
"Wendsor, close the door! I'm here to show you a treasure!"
"baby?"
Windsor closed the door and asked curiously:
"What kind of treasure? Are you going to summon a Frostmourne for me?"
Sean wiped his sweat:
"Why do you only remember Frostmourne? Can't you pursue something higher? Like Ashbringer, Quel'Thala...even the Fiery War Axe, which is often completely destroyed, wouldn't it be great too?"
But Windsor didn't understand: "Sir, what is 'complete explosion'?"
"It's completely explosive..."
Sean sorted out his language and didn't know how to explain it to Windsor.
After thinking for a while, Sean said:
"When I reach the silver level, I will summon a [Silverback Chief] and countless other three-cost minions for you.
By that time, you will understand what ‘complete explosion’ means…Okay, let’s not talk about this, let’s take a look at this baby first!”
Sean snapped his fingers, and a white light flashed from his fingertips.
The white light turned into a huge object and appeared in front of him and Windsor. It was the [ship-borne artillery].
But unfortunately, the location where the [Shipborne Artillery] appears is not on the ground but just in mid-air.
So with a loud "bang", the [ship-mounted artillery] fell to the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust.
"Cough, cough."
The dust in the sky made Sean and Windsor cough constantly.
Fortunately, Sean's water mage condensed the water elements in the air into small-scale rainfall in the mill, thus suppressing the dust.
After the dust dissipated, Sean quickly looked towards the [ship-mounted artillery], and the panel of the ship-borne artillery also appeared in front of Sean:
Name:【Shipborne Artillery】
Quality: ordinary
Race: Mechanical
Level: Level 23
Attack ability: strong
Defense ability: none
special power:
[Pirate Exclusive]: When controlled by pirates, it will not explode or misfire, and its power will be +20%.
[Marine Adaptability]: When fighting in the marine environment, flexibility +10%, loss -10%.
...
Unlike other living minions, [Ship Cannon] is purely an artillery piece.
The total length of the artillery is not very long, less than 3 meters by visual inspection, but the black muzzle still shows its considerable power.
The base and wheels of the artillery are made of wood, and the wheels are covered with iron to increase the stability of the wheels.
Along with the [Shipborne Artillery], there is also a box of cannonballs.
It is worth mentioning that there is a thick telescope or sight above the [ship-mounted artillery], and Sean does not know the specific purpose of this telescope.
...
Windsor saw the appearance of [Ship-borne Artillery] and said with some disdain:
"Sir, this is the good thing you mentioned! Isn't this just an ordinary artillery piece?"
"Wendsor, this is different. After all, the world doesn't have artillery yet, but we do! This is its greatest value." Sean smiled.
Windsor sighed: "Of course I know the value of artillery, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the army. But you can't treat this as a good thing and make me happy in vain!"
Sean didn't answer, but walked to the side of the [ship-mounted artillery] and touched its black and thick barrel.
At the same time, Sean also used the telescope in front of the artillery to take a look. He could indeed clearly see the target in the distance. It seemed to be a good telescope.
Sean said happily: "This telescope is very good, it is an unexpected gain for us!"
Windsor asked: "Sir, you summoned the [ship-mounted artillery] because you wanted the dwarves to imitate it, right?"
Sean nodded:
"Of course, we don't know how to make this, we can only let the dwarf blacksmith do it.
By the way, I want Anduin to draft a confidentiality agreement to prevent them from leaking the manufacturing methods of cannons and muskets..."
Sean was talking when he suddenly heard a knock on the mill door:
"Sir, are you there?"
"Who are you?"
"I am Wyatt Bronzebeard."
Only then did Sean realize that it was the dwarf sharpshooter White Bronzebeard who was here.
Without waiting for Sean's instructions, Windsor walked to the door of the mill and opened it, and White Bronzebeard quickly walked in.
At this time, White Bronzebeard was still holding his own equipment - a musket.
White Bronzebeard first glanced at the most conspicuous ship-borne artillery in the open space, and then said to Sean:
"Lord, why did you call me here?"
"That's it." Sean explained to White Bronzebeard:
"When I returned to Hetan Town this time, I brought back a lot of dwarf blacksmiths, just to make them imitate and mass-produce the muskets in your hands. With a large number of muskets, the strength of our territory can rise to a higher level."
After hearing what Sean said, White Bronzebeard said happily:
"Great, I've been waiting for a day for a long time! In fact, my musket ran out of gunpowder more than ten days ago, and now the musket is just a decoration.
Sir, give it."
White Bronzebeard handed Shaun his musket.
Sean took the musket, but after getting it, Sean was a little confused, so he asked:
"White, can you dismantle this musket into parts? I don't want the dwarf blacksmiths to see it in its entirety."
"Of course! But it will take some time." White Bronzebeard replied.
"Okay, you can dismantle it now, we are not in a hurry."
Sean breathed a sigh of relief and patted White Bronzebeard on the shoulder.
...
Because the mill was now full of mud, White Bronzebeard found a relatively clean area and began to disassemble the musket.
Sean and Windsor studied ship-borne artillery and discussed the use of telescopes on the battlefield.
As far as Sean knows, telescopes + hot air balloons are a very good means of battlefield reconnaissance.
However, the high-level archers in this world have extremely long ranges, so a hot air balloon that is almost a living target may be embarrassing.
