ps: damn Unicom Broadband...... It won't be normal until this point, and it will be released later before 23:30. Ladies and gentlemen, vote for it!

It was not surprising that the Grand Guild Nikolaevich personally intervened in that matter, but the appointment of this promising young man in front of him to coordinate the inquiry made the baron somewhat surprised and embarrassed.

"I can go anywhere the Duchy and His Majesty the Tsar need. ”

The response was extremely serious and formal, Alexander. Vasilyevich. Second Lieutenant Kolchak, a class name modeled after the Albion Navy, which was unpleasant to many in Ross, noticed that the baron was smiling appreciatively, and the young man immediately became a little shy, and then regained his steely expression.

"Relax, young man. ”

The baron casually instructed:

"We're just going to talk business, not to go to war. ”

"Yes, big ...... Mr. ”

Looking at the second lieutenant who had changed his name, but his face did not relax in the slightest, Baron Nasimov, who wanted to smile bitterly, changed the topic to a lighter topic:

"Alexander. Vasilyevich, are you coming to a human city for the first time?"

"No, I passed by Viipuri on my way to the polar regions of the North Sea on a human voyage. ”

Recalling the experience of being almost captured and sold as a slave three years ago, the Principality's Royal Navy's rare polar expedition experts fought a cold war.

"For me, that city sucks. ”

The baron laughed in agreement, Viipuri was indeed not a good place. But if you compare it with the capital of the United Rus' Principality, nicknamed "The Big", maybe the citizens of Petrograd will think that Viypri is better.

"This trip should change your perception of human cities, and according to the spies, Agen Toraton is a [perfect city] that no city can match. ”

Kolchak nodded almost imperceptibly, as a naval officer, the unpredictable sea had not only forged his strong physique, but also cultivated a unique disposition—trusting what he saw with his own eyes more than the descriptions of others.

The Baron was also not convinced of the desire to describe the prosperity, opulence, and neatness of Argentoariton in a thousand words (a word that was repeated repeatedly). However, there are only fifteen words of the report. But at this time, Kolchak should be smart to learn to match the atmosphere, and the person sitting opposite is also a nobleman, so he should at least respect it.

The baron shook his head secretly, and the words in the Grand Duke's letter of introduction echoed again.

[This kid is a baby in politics, if he doesn't get rid of his naïve and naïve disease as soon as possible. Someday. He will be overwhelmed by court battles outside of the battlefield. 】

- There is no doubt that the Grand Duke is quite right.

"It's not just the face of the city, v. Company E's repeater is also very good. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The baron steered the conversation to the military afterward. The conversation quickly hits the right track.

Kolchak said:

"I tried it once, and it was a great repeater. Both the rate of fire, the power, and the accuracy are much better than the main bows and crossbows that our army is equipped with now. But why do you have to buy it from humans? You can let our craftsmen copy it in large quantities?"

The frank question really came, and Nasimov smiled wryly:

"The material of that metal is not iron, but steel that has been treated with a special process. We can't make that kind of steel, and naturally we can't imitate it. It's like a higher life alchemy technique. Without bones and souls, flesh cannot be given either. No matter how hard you try, you can't make it just now, so you can only come to this magical trading company. ”

The incident began with a cross-border attack on a caravan in Lapland.

There are about 80 people on the other side, and there is a cavalry hundred-man team on this side.

There was no suspense in this originally, once the concentrated forces broke through the ring defense system connected by the carriages, and turned the world upside down, and then let the cavalry of the bear clan take what they wanted, which has always been the script.

But the hundred-man team suffered a mutation. When they began to charge, they were immediately greeted with a dense rain of arrows. Not only do those bolts have the piercing power to pierce through the breastplate. The quasi-head is also quite scary. Several cavalrymen were shot in the head and died, and for a time more than 100 cavalrymen were pressed by a group of archers and could not raise their heads. In the end, another cavalry team of 100 people who happened to pass by here joined in, and it was only with the tactics of the Ula Bear Sea Charge that the mercenaries who had already shot out more than half of the crossbow arrows were eliminated.

The casualty statistics after the battle made the two centurions feel distressed: none of the 73 men on the other side survived, but they succeeded in bringing 94 bear cavalry to that world, and almost a centurion was wiped out.

After the battle. In order to prove that [it's not that our army is incompetent, it's really humans who are too cunning], they brought back all the crossbows they could collect and presented them to their superiors as evidence. Relying on the shock brought by the real test shot. With a little bit of oil and vinegar and exaggerated descriptions, the centurions finally succeeded in exonerating themselves.

And then. In order to prove that he did not choose his subordinates, the commander had no vision and handed over the more exaggerated report and the repeater to the commander, and the commander ......

It was handed up layer by layer, and when it finally reached the Minister of War Nikolayevich, it had already become [As long as the human race is equipped with this kind of magic arrow in batches, our army will face the strictest defeat, if we don't respond to the heavy provocation of the human rebel and the party as soon as possible, and use super toughness to fight against toughness, we may even destroy the country and destroy the species......

I don't know what His Royal Highness the Grand Duke thinks of the stimulated subordinates and the report of the crazy attack, but I only know that after the Grand Duke tried a few steel repeaters, Xuan Su summoned craftsmen and asked for the imitation of this [Divine Arrow].

Among the craftsmen were skilled metallurgists, who tried all sorts of cutting-edge, dirty steelmaking methods to smelt a usable (good or bad) ingot, but all failed.

The laws that have been proven countless times in the history of the earth are repeated again and again, without the support of rigorous, sound scientific principles and technical processes. A small earthen blast furnace built on a pile of stones, fueled by firewood or charcoal, could never have burned anything other than pyrite.

The centurion who supervised the creation was very angry about this, and the consequences were very severe.

First, close the small black house, the tiger chair, and the chili water...... The difficulties were not overcome.

Next, the nine-tailed cat, the wound is salty...... The ingots still don't come out.

The centurion, who was completely mad, tied ten foundries to the back of their horses and dragged them to death, and this time they should be able to produce steel ingots!

The small blast furnace unswervingly spat out a pile of unusable pyrite.

I only know that [pressure produces power], but I don't know that scientific and technological progress has its natural laws, and success depends on failure to breed the centurion finally failed to see the steel ingot baked, and was cut off by a charge of "unfavorable work and dereliction of duty", for his old man who is fighting day and night on the overseer front, this ending is really a bit ironic.
