Chapter 33 The First Gun in the Territory
Chapter 33 The first gun in the territory
After arranging the love education camp, Ictor ordered Aris to lead the caravan personnel to repair the granary and store it well. He himself found a blacksmith and hoped to make a "self-defense product".
This piece of self-defense equipment is exactly what Ictor prepared for summoning the Ratmen.
In the magic rules of this world, summoning a magic circle is not a simple spell. This magic that seems to be available to everyone is actually a completely high-level spell.
The kind with a magic rating of level 9
Regardless of the strength of the summoned creature, this magic is a spell that truly penetrates planes, and its level cannot be low.
If it weren't for the existence of magic circles as a method of casting spells, it would be impossible for a low-level mage like Ictor to use such magic.
In short, due to the nature of summoning connecting planes, there are actually two ways for summoners to summon alien creatures.
One is to respond to the summons. This summoning method mainly outputs the summoner's spiritual power directly to the other world. The mages call it a "hook".
The hook can be in many forms, it can be a seductive sentence, or some kind of weird portrait, mysterious language, etc.
In short, as long as the alien creature can be attracted (suddenly) to respond to the summons, the summoner can pull it to the home plane like fishing. Therefore, this summoning method is also called "fishing summoning".
Of course, this involves a huge consumption of magic power.
It takes a lot of courage to use this kind of thing as energy source, and considering the negative effects of the dimension stone, he feels that it is better to let this energy transform slowly to be more stable and safer.
It’s a gun!
This may sound a bit weird, but in fact, Ickert himself thinks it is a bit too.
Therefore, we need to create something unusual to save him magic power.
Not everyone will read through the "Simplified Production Method of Explosive Equipment", "Militia Training Manual", "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" and other magical books a hundred times before traveling through time. We are not perverts.
There should be many of these rat men, but the energy at that time could only bring back a hundred.
The second summoning method, also known as "Advent", is actually a kind of plane travel technique. It uses consciousness to descend to individuals in other worlds, influencing native species, minimizing their will to resist when responding to the summons, and saving summoning energy.
.
This method can not only contract with living creatures, but also transport materials from other worlds. Of course, the energy required will only be greater.
Sometimes, a handful of warpstone powder can't even ignite sawdust, but other times, the energy it releases forces Ictor to use his magic to protect himself!
This is the magic of chaos! Complete chaos, you never know how much energy a dimension stone can release, this is random!
Until the moment the fact happens, you don’t know what the predetermined result will be! Even prophecy doesn’t work!
Good guy, it turns out that the rat-man's machine is stuffed with these things, no wonder it's exploding all day long, Ictor called it "good guy!"
They are really brave to use it!
But Ictor has dimension stones!
After Ictor's research, it was discovered that the wind of magic will gradually transform into magic power in this world, and it seems to be gradually assimilated by the rules of this plane.
But the reality is that he can really make firearms.
This means that the dimension stone can power the magic circle, and he guessed that this may be one of the reasons why he was able to summon a hundred ratmen in his first summons.
This reason was reflected in the previous battle. Afterwards, Iket also conducted special experiments.
In addition, Ickert also knows that firearm steel pipes can also be obtained by casting. However, in casting, the mold will first be deformed by changes in cold and heat, and the molten metal will also mix with air when cooling, forming bubbles. The overall performance is difficult to describe.
If it is read in the common language of the empire, hammerhead is Baharad, but once this sound is pronounced, people will know that it means hammerhead.
Fortunately, magic crystals can be reused, which allows the empire to sponsor a summoning opportunity for frontline lords every quarter.
The energy consumption of activating the summoning spell is huge, so much that ordinary noble families cannot afford it.
The hundred rat men he summoned were most likely the rat men who were desperate for the current situation and therefore responded to his summons.
Iket only roughly remembered that the production processes of modern seamless steel pipes are probably cold drawing and hot rolling, but he has no hope of those two things now.
How to make modern seamless steel pipes? As a mechanical dog, Iket is naturally.
unknown.
The person Ictor found was the blacksmith he had rescued in the village. His father named him Hammerhead.
No matter how you optimize the magic circle, you need an ultra-high-quality magic crystal to ensure enough energy is output to the magic circle and enough magic pressure to activate magic.
Therefore, the second summoning method was placed in front of Ictor.
Unfortunately, although the magic crystal can be reused, charging it requires a high magic pressure source.
However, rather than allowing it to supply enough energy at once, Ictor prefers to allow it to continuously supply energy.
Taking equal amounts of warpstone powder and igniting it, the energy released is actually unequal!
It's not just a small difference, it's a very obvious difference!
Due to the decision to use the summoning method of "Advent", he may not be able to cast spells normally after entering the Warhammer world, where magic power will become a scarce resource.
If you want to build a firearm, a barrel is essential.
Where does the high magic pressure come from? It’s a high-level mage!
Every summoning opportunity is hard-won, and the energy each time is limited. If Ictor wants to be ahead of other territories, he cannot take the usual path.
This method is more suitable for making cannons than guns, but it's a pity that what he wants now is not a cannon.
He has only arrived in the different world not long ago, and the territory has not been built yet! This will open up Blue Star's violent weapons technology line, which is outrageous to think about.
This was probably the form that Ictor used in the academy before. Since it was the first summons and his mental state was not yet stable, it would be adversely affected by the target plane.
And this kind of randomness is still uncertain. It may release enough energy to blow up a mountain when ignited one second, but not even a cigarette will be emitted the next second!
The method that Ictor is using now is to ask the blacksmith to hit, hit, hit!
First of all, Ickert asked Hammer to make the basic molds to be used next. The other tools were relatively complete thanks to his searching in advance.
Under the order of the lord, the hammer head heated several iron ingots and forged them into a single piece, and then continued to beat it with a ball-peen hammer until it became a mold that was concave downward into an arc shape.
After that, Iket ordered him to repeatedly forge the square iron into an iron rod, and grind the surface smooth for later use.
The diameter of the iron rod is approximately one merali (approximately equal to 11.4 mm).
Next, he can start forging the barrel.
