Chapter 256 The Musket Exploded
Leaving aside the fact that Master Leo inspected the scepter of light for Christina and studied several light spells she had learned.
Jia Zhengjin went to warehouses, mines, and factories, and after careful inspection, he took out a large amount of minerals needed.
He first built a stable in the outer city, which did not require many materials.
After it was built, I checked it. It turned out that this building can domesticate wild horses into excellent war horses, and can improve the movement speed and endurance of war horses.
War horses are necessary mounts for cavalry units, although the animal stables can also domesticate wild animals into mounts. But one, the domestication position of the stable is limited. Second, it is too wasteful to tame war horses and mounts, and the animal pen is the main facility for taming warcraft to enhance combat power! Third, domestication of wild beasts is different from domestication of war horses. It takes a long time and although wild beasts can be used as mounts after domestication, it is more suitable for the army to use war horses, because it is difficult for wild beasts to march in formation and only suitable for their own actions.
The Forest of Warcraft does not seem to produce wild horses, at least Jia Zhengjin has not seen a herd of horses that can be domesticated into war horses so far.
But this is not a problem, because horses are sold in many places in other countries or cities, and the price is not too expensive. Jia Zhengjin can definitely send someone to buy it with gold coins, and then bring it back to become an excellent war horse after domestication!
Jia Zhengjin thought about the blueprint for the construction of the tavern, but it was useless, so he put it away for the time being.
If the tavern is a place where heroes can be recruited, then he will never say anything else, no matter how wasteful the materials are, they must be built!
But in fact, it is just to increase the success rate of brewing, for him, it is a fighter among garbage! After all, although some villagers in the town currently brew their own wine, it is only a small number, and it is not very urgent. Therefore, the tavern is temporarily out of use.
However, the blacksmith's shop is one of the necessary buildings. Many things that Jia Zhengjin can't make on the tool table can be made in the blacksmith's shop. But also able to repair damaged weapons and tools. Even when building things in the blacksmith shop, the quality will be relatively higher.
100 iron ingots and 100 copper ingots are a lot of money, compared to stone bricks and wood, which are much simpler.
Fortunately, during his absence, enough iron and copper ingots had been hoarded. The main reason is that kobold artisans first smelt the ore dug out of the minerals into ingots, and then build arrow towers and the like. But often it will be dark after practicing, so leave a lot of materials and go back to sleep. Continued the next day.
Although there are not many left every day, more than 100 iron ingots and copper ingots are still a surplus after a week.
The blacksmith's shop was successfully built, and all the iron smelting tools are available in the building.
Jia Zhengjin went to Iron Felt to take a look. Sure enough, the production list was very long, and he could produce a lot of things that he could only think about before.
For example, all kinds of saddles, various basic spare parts, and even musket barrels, musket stocks, and flint lighters can be manufactured. That is to say, Jia Zhengjin can directly manufacture muskets that are stronger than crossbows!
Of course, a large amount of iron ore is needed to manufacture gun barrels and butts, which means that the demand for iron ore will increase again!
The imperial military camp needs a lot of iron ore, copper ore and gold ore, and the king's palace needs gold bricks and gold coins! As for the auction house, Jia Zhengjin doesn't know where to get the three-color gemstones, so he can't make them either!
Although he has a lot of gold coins now, he can buy enough materials to build a barracks or a king's palace through the resource exchange. But this is too wasteful, and the gold coins should be used in more urgent needs!
Of course he wanted barracks, so that he could recruit more soldiers to guard the city.
I also hope that I can live in a luxurious king's palace. It happens that the north gate can be demolished, and the open space of the outer city and the inner city can be directly connected there to build my own palace. But the material is still digging slowly! Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, living in a residential building is barely okay.
It seems that there is nothing to build for the time being! thought about it,
He simply took the remaining iron ore and iron ingots to the iron felt.
There is a lot of white in the production list, indicating that it can be produced.
Jia Zhengjin chose the musket barrel and musket butt to make.
The iron ore was quickly consumed, and at the same time, a poor-quality musket barrel and a poor-quality musket stock appeared in his hand.
Crafting a musket also requires a flint lighter.
The flint lighter requires two flints and an iron ingot.
There are iron ingots, but not flint! But it doesn't matter, because there is an option to make flint in the crafting list, and the material requirements are also very simple, that is, stone blocks!
Jia Zhengjin immediately made two pieces of flint, and then added an iron ingot to make a flint lighter. Now all three parts for making a musket are complete!
The age of firearms! Jia Zhengjin was very happy, and immediately excitedly combined the three parts, and got a [poor gun].
Check the instructions carefully, the musket needs to be loaded with gunpowder and bullets.
Jia Zhengjin has already stored a lot of gunpowder and put it in the warehouse. As for bullets, they can be crafted on the tool table in the factory!
Musket bullets are actually iron beads, and the required materials are not many. Basically a piece of iron ore can make 5 bullets.
So Jia Zhengjin made 5 immediately first, and then took the gunpowder.
He came to an open space in the outer city, took out the inferior musket and played with it for a while, then immediately loaded the gunpowder, and then stuffed a musket bullet into the barrel.
Aim at a small tree with the thickness of a wrist, and pull the trigger at a distance of about ten meters.
"Bang!" The smell of gunpowder smoke entered his nose, which made him feel very excited.
The power of the bullet was good, and the small tree with a thick wrist was directly penetrated by the musket bullet. But the bullet also lost momentum and landed on the side of the tree.
Jia Zhengjin was very excited, this is indeed much more powerful than the crossbow!
He recovered the bullet and immediately resumed firing. The bursts of gunfire were deafening, attracting many civilians onlookers.
Although muskets are very ancient firearms for Jia Zhengjin, they are indeed a strange weapon that people in this world have never seen before!
Jia Zhengjin found that he liked firearms very much, even if it was just an ancient musket. He likes the feeling of shooting a gun!
So he was a little obsessed with shooting, and kept using the young tree as a target again and again.
However, an accident happened!
When the gun was fired for the 21st time, the fire wall exploded suddenly and directly injured Jia Zhengjin's hands and face.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, endured the pain, took out the primary life potion and drank it. The injuries on the face and hands healed immediately, and the pain disappeared quickly. The effect of the medicine is very good!
