Chapter 115

People always say that the devil always creates all kinds of unimaginable luxury when it leads to temptation and degeneration.

However, this statement is actually wrong. The devil can do this, but it also depends on whether he is willing to do it. Obviously, he was very happy to create a luxurious and romantic scene for Mr. king. On that day, after the song of the wind stopped, the awakened servants of the blood clan came in wearing Royal costumes. They were wearing pure white gloves and holding silver plates. The plates were full of gifts from the castle to the king.

Jewelry, diamond, gold cup, sword Hell in please the king on this matter, the level of the world jilted the noble flattering eighteen thousand miles.

The lifeless castle took on a new look after that day.

"I always feel that you are trying so hard to make me stay here forever. Is that so? Mr. devil. "

The king walked slowly along the slightly quiet corridor. The aesthetic of the blood clan can be summarized as "luxury" in two ways. The clothes they prepared for the king also reflected this.

"What's wrong with your loyal servants offering you their loyalty and respect? Your majesty. "

The devil cunningly avoided the key point in the king's question.

"How many will they come?"

The king wore black boots. The rose gold chain on the boots would ring when he walked. The brilliant candle light fell on the boots and twinkled with gems.

Chaotic hell actually has its own rules. The rule here is "power", and lords fight each other for more power. The powers corresponding to the original sin mentioned in the holy book are the most powerful, which makes the king feel that hell is actually like a reflection of the so-called "Kingdom of God".

Nowadays, the powers in the king's hands are "greed and ill gotten gains" and "Pride and unknown judgment".

The king knows how the former came from. But when the devil got the latter, the devil did not say, and the king did not ask.

"Two thirds, there are always some stubborn guys."

The devil knew it, and there was a chill in his smile.

"But it doesn't matter, your majesty. They pay for their transgression. "

"Who's the hardest part?"

"The guy who controlled the fury." The devil replied that when he mentioned the Lord, there was a haze in his eyes. "Of course, he won't come to this banquet."

The king and the devil walked side by side through the rose garden of the castle in conversation.

A lady of the dead, who was in charge of building branches in the rose garden, caught a glimpse of them. She only felt that there was a strange tacit understanding when they went together. It's a strange thing that the proud monarch and the infamous devil often get along with each other. They are obviously testing each other, but they are as free as old friends.

The devil suddenly looked back at Mrs. undead.

There was, of course, an incomparable tacit understanding between him and the king, which came from their vows.

The oath was made a long time ago. When both sides were ambitious, the world was like wolves fighting. The monarch said, I give you power, we will destroy the present world. Then he put his hand on the shoulder of the lonely devil and released his violent desire to destroy everything hidden in his heart. So the devil pulled out his imprisoned sword and went to kill from heaven to earth for the oath. The monarch stood behind him and watched the blood flow slowly with him.

"Your Majesty."

The devil called out to the king.

The king answered.

"We'll have a good play, I promise."

The devil said with a smile that he naturally opened the black umbrella for the king.

The king looked at him. "It's better."

They walked side by side down the winding steps of the keel, at the end of the steps of the nightmare carriage.

Now that he has come to hell, the king intends to take this opportunity to personally inspect the first military heavy industry department of Legrand.

During this period of time, the king received a lot of people from the first military heavy industry department of Legrand, most of them came from the two brothers of chemists and the Minister of military design department.

I don't know when the relationship between the military design department and the gunpowder research institute came to an end. After Mr. Raul, the director of the design department, asked him to declare that the guillotine was superior to the scaffold, he came up with a new idea a few days later. He and the Rogers brothers jointly asked the king to approve a "super firepower military gun" experimental plan. At this stage, both sides are in high spirits to report their progress to the king, gratifying, remarkable results.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but a group of neurotics say to you:

Your Majesty, our plan is progressing very smoothly, we can complete all our experiments within XX days, please rest assured!

Is that really reassuring?

Who knows what the plan is?

………………

In the field in front of Qianren peak, there are many blast furnaces, the smoke is curling, and the sound of Jingling and rumbling explosion is mixed together, which is especially industrialized.When the king arrived, the skeleton troops working all over the mountains and fields stopped their movements and happily took off their heads. Just like the noble ladies waving handkerchiefs, they paid homage to the king by waving their skulls in their hands. It's the highest etiquette among skeletons, but The workers who also witnessed the scene could not help rolling their eyes.

The skeleton brothers really don't have a correct understanding of how terrifying their acts of kindness are.

The king waved to the skeletons and accepted the respect and greetings.

The skeletons who got the king's response were more happy. They just felt that their king was the most amiable human in the world!

"Stupid..."

The devil looked at this scene, deeply humiliated - these skeletons simply pull down the average intelligence level of the whole hell.

However, the king was a little pleased because he got an excellent answer - the first military heavy industry department of Legrand performed much better than he expected.

With the continuous support of raw materials, the gunpowder research department has determined the best proportion of military gunpowder at present, and the workers have been conducting large-scale production experiments.

However, one thing that makes people laugh and laugh is that the smooth progress of large-scale production experiments of gunpowder is inseparable from the military design department

After being ridiculed by the Rogers brothers, Mr. Raul of the military design department led the same angry Department researchers to study how to make the gun bore bear more gunpowder. This group of people maddened to do all kinds of experiments - if there is not a trace of reason, they almost took gold to cast cannons to try their durability.

Finally, they locked the bronze [1], and adopted the method of integral forging, which solved the problem that the forged iron gun and the iron bar were welded in the powder load too much, the powder strength was too high, and it was easy to burst the chamber.

It's not that no one has thought about forging cannons with bronze before. But in the Earth Kingdom, the price of bronze cannon was too high, and no royal family could afford a firepower army with bronze cannon. But for now, the designers of the first military industrial division of Legrand have the conditions that all designers will be envious of - they can be called a loser in using all kinds of materials to forge weapons.

When he saw the list of research materials consumed by the military research department during this period, the king deeply realized one thing: to support an army with advanced weaponry is directly equivalent to burning money.

During this period of time alone, military designers spent almost the same amount of materials as the traditional royal family's income in one year under the restriction of feudal chivalry.

No wonder the initial development of gunpowder is so slow.

After solving the problem of bore bearing capacity, Mr. Raul began to increase the charge of the shell without blinking an eye. In this period, the amount of gunpowder loaded in the shells was very low [2]. Step by step, they increased the powder loading from 15% to 100% of the shell weight.

Once, while the Rogers brothers were experimenting with a new formula, Mr. Raul came to the door with a polite smile and told him, "we have solved the problem of bore bearing capacity, but now the powder you produce is not enough for us to load shells. We have solved the problem of gun bore design, but you can't provide the amount of gunpowder we need. "

Mr. Raul's right-hand Deputy impolitely sent Mr. Melly's original words back to him:

"your ability is to produce some powerful gunpowder that can't be mass produced."

"It's good to set off fireworks, but what the military industry needs is mass production."

Mr. Raul, who won the first round, went away. The Rogers brothers were so angry that they stopped the experiment of new gunpowder for a while and thought about how to solve the problem of complex gunpowder production process.

"So Is that the solution? "

The king stood in the gunpowder factory with a complicated look, looking at the translucency floating in front of him.

"The undead has excellent cooling properties." Bran stood in front of the king and explained, "the condensation effect of the dead in different ages is different. The longer the dead are born, the stronger the condensation effect is..."

The Rogers brothers couldn't think of a way to make great changes in gunpowder manufacturing machinery. They were ridiculed by military designers every day. They were so worried that they almost lost their hair. Finally, when they saw that the skull lizard and the blacksmith worked together with amazing efficiency, they turned their eyes to the idle undead in the river of the dead.

Nowadays, the technology used in sulfur refining plants is to heat the sulfur first, then wait for it to solidify before removing impurities. Then the impurity removed sulfur is heated to form sulfur vapor, which is cooled and solidified to obtain the raw material of gunpowder.

In the whole process, it takes a long time to wait for sulfur to solidify.

The Rogers brothers courteously found the dead and expressed their hope for their help - monra the crow hovered over them when they asked. The dead were silent for a moment, looked at the skeletons, and finally climbed up from the long river of the dead.

The devil looked at a lady of the dead who was dressed in a palace costume and rose from the sulfur jar with her head in her arms."In order not to cool down too much and let sulfur directly freeze into powder, we specially investigated the year of their birth..."

Bran talks on and on.

Listening, the king suddenly felt that the next "super firepower military artillery" might not be the usual way.

The author has something to say: (1) in history, the technology of smelting iron and casting copper has been used in the manufacture of gunpowder weapons in the 14th century.

[2] In the early 15th century, shells were rarely filled with more than 15% of their weight.
