Chapter 729: Daydream

Robb raised his head and saw that the dwarf leader had just crawled out of the sewer in front of the chapel and was walking towards the chapel. Lilians reminder came right on time.

Robb quickly switched his attention back to Robb Smith's side, walked quickly into the military conference hall, stood in the corner, quietly turned himself into a statue-like decoration, and then quickly switched back. At this time, the dwarf leader had just walked to Robb's side with his dwarf legs.

"Godfather!" The dwarf leader seemed very excited, so excited that his beard was trembling. "We have finally succeeded in developing what you asked us to research last time."

"Oh?" Robb wondered, "What did I ask you to research?"

Recently, Robb had been juggling between two things, with too much work that he couldn't even remember what he had been working on.

"The mortar!" the dwarf leader said.

"Ah?" Robb said, "Has it succeeded? Interesting, bring it here to see."

The dwarf leader took out a cylindrical object with a stand from behind him and placed it in front of Robb. "Godfather, we made this thing using the idea of making short cannons. We filled it with explosives at the bottom, lit it, and could throw the iron bullets far away all at once, very, very far..."

Robb asked with a smile, "How far can it go?"

"If it's a solid bullet, it can fly two or three miles away," the dwarf leader said. "Maybe the hollow bullet can go even further, but we always fail in the hollow bullet's design that you suggested to us. The strength of the hollow bullet is not enough. When the gunpowder in the mortar explodes and produces thrust, it is easy to accidentally detonate the hollow bullet during the process of pushing the shell out of the barrel, resulting in not being able to shoot it out and injuring several of our craftsmen. Even if we succeed in shooting it out without it exploding, the shell will be damaged and wont explode anymore, making it no different from a solid bullet."

As he spoke, the dwarf leader casually aimed the mortar at the Black Pine Mountains behind the chapel and fired a shot. The shell made a sharp whistle and flew onto the slope, then disappeared with a "puff." It was too far away, and the view was blocked by flowers, plants, and trees, so it was unclear what it had hit, but it was certain that it had only left a big hole on the damp ground on the slope.

The dwarf leader smiled awkwardly. "That's the power of a solid bullet."

"So you have succeeded in developing the mortar, which can shoot two or three miles away," Robb said, "but the problem is that this thing can't shoot the hollow bullets that I suggested, which can explode. It can only shoot the ancient solid bullets, right?"

The dwarf leader nodded vigorously.

Robb frowned, "Its easily detonated because the hollow shell is not strong enough, which means the shell is too weak. It won't detonate because our technology is not yet advanced enough, and the collision-triggering technology is completely not here yet."

Robb: "Uh...well...ahem..."

The Queen snorted coldly, "So you were daydreaming and not listening, is that it?"

Robb was embarrassed and at a loss for words.

Madeline spoke up, "Elizabeth, don't be angry. It's not entirely Mr. Robb's fault. The content of the meeting was too boring. I even dozed off myself. Yes, that's right."

The Queen gave her a sidelong glance. "Even if I'm talking nonsense, as a minister, you must pay attention and listen carefully."

Madeline said, "Oh dear, this will make you a bad ruler."

Everyone was silent.

The Queen was silent.

Well, there's really no way with this crazy friend. She's been friends with her since childhood, and the Queen knows that with Madeline's protection, she really can't deal with Robb Smith. So she snorted coldly and said, "Be more careful next time. If you daydream again during the meeting, I'll demote you to a baron. If you still daydream, I'll demote you again."

Robb quickly pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."

The Queen said, "I can tell from your eyes that you don't care about my threat."

"No, no, I'm super scared," Robb said. "Super scared."

Seeing his demeanor, everyone knew he wasn't scared at all. They couldn't stand this guy and decided to ignore him.
