Chapter 71 Add another fire
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!.
Immman wanted to get the bomb, she knew it was something that could change the world.
But she was still very hesitant to tie her up with Luo Lan, because she not only represents herself, but also represents more than 200 sailors and soldiers.
If something happens to Luo Lan in the future, neither she nor her crew will be able to escape.
In the cabin, Eimman told Mead and several old crew members seriously about this matter, and everyone's first reaction was to refuse.
"Although Luo Lan has rum, his fief is too weak after all. Even we can invade Bouji Island. There is no security guarantee in this kind of place."
"He has no soldiers, and he still wants us to fight for him, so we can't be irritated."
The old crew members who had never seen explosive bombs objected, and only Mead fell into deep thought.
Aiman said nothing and signaled the old crew members to go out first.
Only Imman and Mead were left in the cabin.
Mead hesitated: "Love Eman, your thoughts are"
"Tell me what you think." Ai Iman didn't say anything.
Mead grabbed the hilt of the sword in distress, his face full of entanglement: "Luo Lan has a good prospect. As long as the military develops, he can still be a little overlord on the island..."
Mead has vision and does not underestimate Luo Lan, but he is not high-minded. The innate advantages of Bouji Island are still too poor.
Aiman walked to the window and looked at the sea intently. His handsome cheeks were calm, making people unable to see their thoughts.
Mead stopped talking, he knew that Eimman must have his own ideas.
"Go once, I don't want to sell rum all my life. I want to be the queen of the sea." After a long time, Aiman said calmly.
Mead knew that the calmer Aiman was, the more earth-shaking she felt.
At this moment, Queen Eimman pressed all her future on the lord of an island.
"I get it, I'll convince the crew." Mead resolutely followed Eimman's idea. He actually had his own little plan.
Prince Luo Lan just wanted to attack Uttar Pradesh. This is a "internal affairs" issue and does not involve other countries. It will not attract revenge. The Aiman fleet is quite safe.
If Phuket Island is irresistible in the future, the Aiman fleet can still escape, but it is difficult to get through.
Everything has risks, Mead is willing to bear this risk.
In the Industrial Special Zone, Luo Lan did not wait for Eimman's decision. He went to the northern mining area to check the manufacturing progress of the cylinder transmitter.
Since there is no shortage of wood here and there are many craftsmen, it is very convenient to manufacture cylinder transmitters.
The refining of sulfur is getting faster and faster. As the workers become familiar with it, the operation will be much faster.
Daisy estimated that the 5,000 kilograms of pyrite brought by Eimman could meet the gunpowder needs of 60,000 rockets.
This is due to the fact that only one-tenth of sulfur gas is collected.
However, this was enough to surprise Luo Lan. What surprised Luo Lan even more was that because of its high-purity sulfur, the gunpowder needed to make rockets could be easily made.
In the past, this kind of gunpowder needed to be repeatedly purified, wasting countless time. It could only create one hundred qualified rockets a day, and it could be interrupted at any time.
Now, after stirring the charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur in proportion, you can put it in the gunpowder cartridge, which is many times faster.
"Your Highness, if you give me one hundred more workers, we can make thousands of rockets a day. When everyone becomes proficient, the speed will be faster and you can make sixty thousand rockets in less than a month."
"And, another three hundred workers were allocated to Mr. Bor, who needed more bamboo and poles."
"By the way, the rockets are now basically transformed with the previous arrows. After the arrows are used up, they need to build arrows. Your Highness remembers to open another workshop to create arrows and send them over. It is best to build arrow workshops in the northern mining area."
Daisy said a lot of words in a row, and after saying that, she bit her lip embarrassedly, and her shy look very cute.
After he said this, Luo Lan suddenly realized a problem, that is, the problem of arrows.
There is no shortage of gunpowder now, but it is a lack of arrows. Making arrows is also a big problem. There are a lot of materials needed, so it is not enough to just cut a wooden stick.
"Dais, how many arrows do we have?" Luo Lan asked. Daisy stretched out two fingers: "Less than 20,000, it's been so long that everyone has collected on the entire island. After using it, there will be no arrows that can be transformed into rockets. It takes a need to build arrows."
The problem is quite serious. Twenty thousand rockets cannot carry out saturation attacks, and they are shot out in a few rounds. The arrows consumed by the barrel launcher are dozens of times that of the bow and arrow at a time.
"Let's understand, Dess, please take a rest, I'll do the rest."
Luo Lan left the northern mining area and planned to return to Buji City.
When he rode to Rick District, he ran into Aiman again. Aiman was talking to the local girl, which attracted many young men to peek.
Luo Lan called her, and she smiled with a high face: "When will you hit Uttar Pradesh?"
What she said meant was that she planned to hang out with Luo Lan.
Luo Lan was delighted and took her to speak alone.
"You can leave that warship, there are no big ships in Uttar Pradesh, and a warship is enough to control their waterways."
"Leave another merchant ship. I have found a silver mine here and need a large ship to transport it to the south."
Luo Lan's two requests made Aiman a little depressed: "You are so polite, you just want half of my boat when you open your mouth."
Although she complained, she still agreed. She didn't need a warship because no one would rob her, and those who dared to rob her and were disdainful to deal with her. The warship was just a decoration.
It is not important to split a merchant ship, it is just to transport rum anyway.
"I can give you a boat, but what do you mean by transporting the silver mine to the south?" Aiman was very puzzled by this question.
Luo Lan smiled sinisterly: "There is a Nanshan Kingdom in the south who is very good at making weapons. The confidence of Uttar Pradesh comes from the Nanshan Kingdom. I have to drain his confidence."
Aiman blinked and shook his head and said, "You are really bad, I understand, I will let Mead stay. He takes two ships to the East Coast and standby, there will be no problem."
Imman was afraid that the ship would be discovered by Nanyuan, which attracted Barron's suspicion.
Luo Lan shook her head: "Baron knows you are dealing with me, and it's okay if you find it. It's time to go to Nanshan Country on the west coast, so you'd better go south from the east coast."
The two of them had decided to discuss and laughed in a bad mood.
Afterwards, Aiman prepared to head north, while Luo Lan returned to Bouji City.
He first went to meet the winemaker. The winemakers were so happy that they finally received the money and admired Luo Lan even more.
Luo Lan celebrated with them, and then went to find a coal dealer with gold coins.
These coal merchants have been frowning since winter because they provide southerners with free coal for the entire winter, and they have suffered huge losses.
Luo Lan knew that they had resentment, so now that the rum made money, he quickly came to "repay the money".
The coal merchants were naturally very happy and kept saying that they didn't have to hurry to return it, which made Luo Lan squint his eyes.
After paying back the money, Luo Lan talked with the most experienced coal merchant about making arrows.
As a result, the other party said: "Your Highness, making arrows is not a simple matter. If you want to open a workshop, it is impossible to create arrows in a short period of time. However, we are willing to invest. There is no army on our island of Bougai, so we must build them, otherwise even pirates can rob us if they become rich in the future."
That's right, national defense must be done.
Luo Lan thought about this matter seriously.
When it was dark, cavalry came to the south, and several guards were busy and reported major events.
Luo Lan listened to their report.
"Uttar Pradesh once again purchased arms from the Nanshan Kingdom. Galgo ordered that the last time the grain was collected after the spring harvest, and the people did not object."
"Galgo has expanded his army. Currently, the number of soldiers has reached 2,500, all with weapons, and the cavalry has also expanded 50, totaling 350."
"Earl Charles analyzed that Galgo will not expand its army anymore, and we can no longer put pressure on Galgo."
It seems that the military competition is about to end.
Galgo is not a fool, he will not be scared by the peasant army and will be in a state of war.
Luo Lan needs more scary means.
"Tell Charles that there will be merchant ships going south in the north, with silver mines installed in the ship, so that Charles can respond at Nakajima Port."
