Chapter 256: The musket explodes
Not to mention, Master Leo examines the Scepter of Light for Christina and studies several of the Light Magics she has learned.
Jia Zhengjin went to the warehouse, mine and factory, and after carefully inspecting it, he took out the large amount of minerals he needed.
He first built a stable in the outer city, which did not require many materials.
After I checked it after it was built, 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.
Warhorses are an essential mount for cavalry troops, although the pen can also be used to domesticate beasts into mounts. But one, the domestication position of the corral is limited. Second, it is too wasteful to domesticate war horse mounts, and the beast pen is the main facility for domesticating monsters to enhance their combat power! Third, domesticating beasts is different from domesticating war horses, and the time required is long, and although the beasts can be used as mounts after domestication, it is more suitable for the army to use war horses, because it is difficult for beasts to march in formation, and they are only suitable for their own actions.
The Warcraft Forest doesn't seem to produce wild horses, at least Jia Zhengjin hasn't seen a herd of horses that can be domesticated into war horses so far.
However, 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 send someone to buy it with gold coins, and then bring it back to become an excellent war horse after domestication!
The tavern construction drawings, Jia Zhengjin thought about it for a while and it was useless, so he kept it for the time being.
If the tavern is a place where heroes can be recruited, then he definitely doesn't say a word, no matter how wasteful the materials are, they have to be built!
But in fact, it is just to increase the success rate of winemaking, and to him it is a fighter in the garbage! After all, although some villagers in the town make their own wine, it is only a minority, and it is not very urgent. Therefore, the tavern is useless for the time being.
However, the blacksmith shop is one of the necessary buildings, and many things that Jia Zhengjin can't make on the tool table can be made in the blacksmith shop. It is also capable of repairing damaged weapons and tools. Even when crafting something in a blacksmith's shop, the quality will be relatively high.
100 iron ingots and 100 copper ingots are a large expense, compared to stone bricks and wood.
Luckily, however, in the time he was away, he had stockpiled enough iron and copper ingots. The main reason is that kobold craftsmen first smelt the ore dug up from the mines into ingots, and then go to build arrow towers and the like. And often when I practice, it gets dark, so I leave a lot of materials and go back to sleep. The next day, it continued.
Although there are not many left every day, more than 100 iron and copper ingots are still very surplus after a week.
The blacksmith shop was successfully built, and all the tools for smelting iron were readily available in the building.
Jia Zhengjin took a look at the iron felt, and sure enough, the manufacturing list was very long, and he could make a lot of things that he could only think about before.
For example, all kinds of saddles, all kinds of basic spare parts, and even musket barrels, musket butts, and flint lighters can be manufactured, that is to say, Jia Zhengjin can directly make muskets that are stronger than crossbows!
Of course, a lot of iron ore is needed to make the barrel and stock, which means that the demand for iron ore will increase in the future!
The Imperial Barracks needed a lot of iron ore, copper ore, and gold ore, and the King's Palace needed gold bricks and gold coins! As for the auction house, Jia Zhengjin didn't know where to get the three-color gems at present, so he couldn't make them!
Although he now has a lot of gold, he can buy enough materials to build a barracks or a king's palace through the Resource Exchange. But this is a waste, and the gold should be used where it is more urgently needed!
Of course, he wanted the barracks, so that he could recruit more soldiers to guard the city.
I also hope to be able to live in the luxurious king's palace, just in time the north gate can be demolished, directly connecting the outer city and the inner city there, and building my own palace. Anyway, he's not in a hurry now, and it's barely okay to live in a residential building.
There seemed to be nothing left to make for the time being!After thinking for a moment, he simply took the remaining iron ore and iron ingots to the iron felt.
The crafting list immediately appears with a large pile of white, indicating that it can be crafted.
Jia Zhengjin chose the musket barrel and musket butt from them.
The iron ore was quickly consumed to the point that there were not many left, and at the same time, an inferior musket barrel appeared in his hand, as well as an inferior musket butt.
A flint lighter is also required to make a musket.
The flint lighter requirement is two flint stones and one iron ingot.
Iron ingots are available, but flint is not, because there are options for making flint in the crafting list, and the material requirements are very simple, just stones!
Jia Zhengjin immediately made two pieces of flint, and then added an iron ingot to make a flint lighter, and all three parts of the musket were all made at this time!
Jia Zhengjin was quite happy, and immediately excitedly combined the three parts and got a [inferior musket].
Looking carefully at the instructions, musket firing requires a reload of gunpowder and bullets.
Jia Zhengjin has 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 there are not many materials required. Basically, one piece of iron ore can be used to make 5 bullets.
Therefore, Jia Zhengjin immediately made 5 pieces first, and then took gunpowder.
He went to an open field in the outer city, took out an inferior musket, played with it in his hand for a while, then immediately reloaded the gunpowder, and then stuffed a musket bullet into the barrel.
Aim at a small tree with a thick wrist and pull the trigger at a distance of about 10 meters.
"Bang!" the smell of gunsmoke crept into his nose and made him feel very excited.
The power of the bullet was good, and the small tree with a thick wrist was directly pierced by a musket bullet. However, the bullet also lost power and landed on the edge of the tree.
Jia Zhengjin was very excited, this is indeed much more powerful than a crossbow!
He recovered the bullet and immediately resumed the test firing. The burst of gunfire was deafening, attracting many onlookers.
Although the musket is a very old firearm for Jia Zhengjin, it is indeed a strange weapon that has never been seen before for people in this world!
Jia Zhengjin found himself fond of firearms, even if they were just ancient muskets. He loves the feeling of shooting!
Therefore, he was somewhat obsessed with shooting, and kept using small trees as targets again and again.
But the unexpected happened!
During the twenty-first shooting, the wall of fire suddenly exploded, directly injuring Jia Zhengjin's hand and face.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, endured the pain, took out the primary life elixir and drank it. The injuries on his face and hands healed immediately, and the pain quickly disappeared. The effect of the medicine is very good!
