Chapter 34 Forged Gun Barrel
Chapter 34 Forging the Barrel
The overall idea of forging a gun barrel is not very complicated. After thinking about it for a while, Ictor roughly summarized a set of processes, which should be very different from the method on Blue Star.
First, take a piece of wrought iron sheet of sufficient thickness and heat it to
red.
Then place the heated iron sheet on the prepared mold, and use a ball peen hammer to aim at the middle of the iron sheet and repeatedly forge it until the two sections of the iron sheet tend to bend and fit together.
After the prototype of the gun barrel has basically appeared, you need to continue hammering until the two sections of the iron sheet are almost close to each other, and then forge the gaps at the connection as much as possible until they disappear.
During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the iron sheet is sufficient, otherwise it will have to be repeatedly heated and forged, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Iket simply used an improved fire array to achieve heating at the same time as forging.
In order to reduce the risk of the barrel exploding, Ickert specially added a layer of iron sheet outside the barrel. The double-layered iron sheet-wrapped barrel appears very thick.
However, the forging process is not over here. After having the prototype of the barrel, Ickert changed the hammer head to a concave hammer.
At this time, the iron rod prepared in advance came in handy. At this time, the caliber of the gun barrel was slightly larger than the diameter of the iron rod, and the physical properties were uneven in all directions.
Therefore, it is necessary to insert the iron rod into the barrel and repeatedly forge it from the outside of the barrel with a concave hammer to gradually make it fit the iron rod and modify the physical properties of the inner and outer walls of the barrel.
However, in this damned alien world, after knights put on rune plate armor, they can really have a defense comparable to that of an armored vehicle.
Moreover, they are still humanoid individuals, with small targets and fast movement speeds. Even with powerful artillery, they are difficult to target and kill!
Even if there are refined warpstone ammunition, there is no guarantee that it will be effective against high-level units.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
It wasn't until all the water in the kettle was emptied that Sasha finally regained consciousness.
The emergence of guns can only bring a leap in combat effectiveness to the territory, allowing it to train a large army with less cost and time.
Just do whatever comes to mind (mainly because I returned everything I learned to the teacher, and I only learned magic in another world).
The only land in the world that belongs to you is Windsall, and it currently cannot produce even a gram of iron ore.
In short, Ickert has no hope of restoring human industry step by step, so what about the mechanical dog? Can the mechanical dog really restore human industry from scratch?
It's better to let him learn programming from scratch.
"Wow, good teacher."
When Iket called her, Sasha's first reaction was to give the teacher water. I wonder if it was because she had been left there for too long, but Iket only felt that Sasha's movements were very stiff and mechanical.
When this step is completed, the gap between the iron sheets is almost invisible and has completely become a gun barrel.
But where do you get sulfur? Where do you get nitrate? What do they look like? Iket really wants to post a post to ask the netizens: What should I do if I don’t prepare the basic knowledge before traveling?
And after being busy for so long, Iket didn’t even prepare the part about gunpowder.
After a series of brainstorming, Iket boldly replaced gunpowder with a magic circle.
Ictor shook his head quickly, but then he reacted and hit Sasha lightly on the head, holding her head and squatting in defense.
As for the dimensional stone, it is more reliable to make bullets out of it.
This time, a lot of basic magic knowledge was used to make the magic gun, so Ictor naturally thought of his magic apprentice.
Sasha stuck out her tongue, obviously not taking Iket's seriousness too seriously, but she quickly switched to the "good boy" mode, handed over the mithril steel, and began to listen to Iket's explanation attentively.
But Ickert also has his own considerations.
"Teacher, please drink water!"
Sasha looked into the kettle with one wide eye, then reluctantly shook the bottle mouth down, and found that there was indeed not a drop of water left.
Little Sasha has always been watching by Iket's side, but before that, Iket had been blacksmithing with Hammerhead, without any teaching content at all, and he rarely even said a word.
What's more, this is a different world. The geographical environment and oxidation environment are different from those on Earth. Perhaps the appearance of these minerals is also different from that on Blue Star.
"I'm not thirsty anymore, I'm not thirsty anymore!"
He definitely knows the recipe for black powder.
Wouldn't it be cool to develop a magic technology system?
At first, he could enjoy the rare water, but soon he couldn't even breathe.
"Strike, strike, eat, teacher, you drink water, teacher, wipe your sweat, strike, strike."
Now? Can you post the answer in the barrage?
However, although Ictor cannot follow the old path of Blue Star's human industry, magical magic and magic technology have brought him new possibilities.
"Yeah! No more?"
After it cooled and took shape, Ickert picked up this exquisite barrel and had mixed feelings in his heart.
However, the latter had obviously completely lost his soul and was muttering incomprehensible words.
Sasha's big, smart eyes were tortured to the point of losing consciousness. She had been hammering, hammering, hammering since morning.
"Sasha, bring me the mithril steel."
"Sasha, do you know the difference between high-level spells and low-level spells?"
Ictor quickly pulled away and hid to the side, but Sasha still kept the action of pouring water without moving.
As for searching for physical properties, Iket has not thought about it, but it is a pity that he is not the emperor.
"Traitor! Traitor! Stop it! Do you want to choke your teacher and me to death?"
With a barrel but no gunpowder, the gun is just a complete decoration.
The reason why little Sasha was called here was just to serve Iket tea and water. After all, the environment during the forging was not very good.
Then he choked as expected.
When Ictor saw that the barrel of the gun was finally completed, he ordered his apprentice to get the final materials.
Little Sasha didn't care, she just put the kettle in Ictor's mouth and refused to put it down.
"Teacher, are you still thirsty?"
One sulfur, two nitrates, and three charcoals, he had memorized them all in his previous life.
But in the end, the outside of the barrel needs to be hammered into an angular polygon with a flat hammer to facilitate fixing it to the wood.
If it were another low-demon world, then Iket could be lucky that he could already use this thing to destroy the knights!
"I'm going to give a lecture! Focus on me!"
"have no idea."
Sasha shook her head. The teacher didn't teach anything, so why did he like to ask her questions so much?
Ictor also gradually realized his bad habits and immediately began to explain them to Sasha.
"The transformation of spells from zero level to high level is actually not a process of pure innovation, but a process of integration and innovation."
Chapter completed!
