87 – Episode 87 New Weapon
[Completeness: 9]
“Is this the limit?”
From Noble mtl dot com
I drew numerous blueprints.
As time went on, the appearance improved.
But,
“I can’t escape the small cannon.”
The biggest problem with the current blueprint.
The point is that the trigger was not created.
So, you have to connect the wires and light the wick.
Like a cannon or dynamite, when the wick burns and reaches the gunpowder,
This is the way the gun is fired at that time.
I drew an image of the blueprint in my head.
First of all, the gun is long.
I tried to make it shorter, but the more I tried, the less complete it became.
This is probably because accuracy decreases as the gun gets shorter.
Other than that, the appearance is decent.
First of all, the stock.
Designed to be attached to the shoulder to absorb shock.
We also made scales and iron sights.
It allows aiming in a similar way to modern Korean firearms.
‘Aiming won’t be a problem. It may be a question of whether the gun follows suit.’
“Let’s stop here for now.”
It seemed difficult to design a better gun in a short period of time.
If so, we must start manufacturing according to this blueprint.
As can be seen from the development of Ballista,
Even if the blueprint has been completed,
This is because the skill level of the blacksmith who actually produces it must also match.
“It’s not a ballista, and if it’s a gun, you’ll need more skill.”
I heard a blueprint with a level of completeness of 9.
And I took one more sheet.
[Completeness: 17]
This is a blueprint for making a cannon.
No matter how much the gun was improved, it could not exceed completion level 10, but the cannon was already approaching level 20.
I took the two cards and left the central anti-aircraft room.
“Waaa!!”
“Get in line! “Get in line!”
“Hey!! “Don’t act alone there!!”
“Look at the person in front and follow carefully!!”
While developing firearms,
The atmosphere of Iron Village has changed.
“What?? Why are there so many people??”
Iron Village was always full of life.
Men with bulging muscles carried hammers.
The workshop was filled with the sound of hammers hitting every day.
The streets were no different.
Iron extracted from the mine was delivered to the workshop.
Among the villages I created,
No, of all the villages on the Frontier, the most noisy and lively village was Iron.
“But today it feels like an amusement park.”
Instead of the sound of hammers, it was filled with the sounds of people.
If you look closely, you can see that he was young.
In terms of Earth, middle and high school students? It seemed like that much.
“Master, are you out?”
“Ah… Okay, but why is it so crowded today?”
“Students from the upper level school came out for practice today.”
“Practice?”
There are two ways we train blacksmiths.
The first is apprenticeship-style education, where one learns from a master from a young age.
The second is taught at school.
Specialized education is provided at high-end schools for 11-15 year olds.
Among them, there is a craftsman class, and those who completed the training came to Iron.
“How is the practice conducted?”
“I live in a dormitory and help at the blacksmith shop during the day. “That’s it.”
That’s what I said, but it would also be helpful to the students.
I only learned it at school and then actually worked in the field.
“By the way. The existing blacksmith is also enthusiastic.”
“Of course. Iron is always short of workers. Because of the owner.”
The arrow suddenly came back to me.
“Because of me?”
“Of course not. Not only weapons and armor, but also farming tools are made here. Is that it? “They told me to make a ballista and even soap… This time, they told me to select people again.”
There was definitely a lot of work to be done at Iron.
I tapped Debé on the shoulder.
“So you keep sending people over?”
Send dexterous slaves and wanderers to Iron.
In each school, artisan classes educate students.
Children who have learned that way come to Iron.
“Well, that’s true. Anyway, we have selected new artisans. “They are all highly skilled and loyal.”
“Call me to the central workshop tomorrow. “Because I have something to say.”
“I understand.”
Ending the story,
We hit the iron together.
With new people coming in, the workshops became more lively than usual.
In some workshops, work was explained to students,
In some workshops, workers were asked to start with carrying basic items.
When the assignment of students to each workshop was completed,
[Mission]
Mining village construction (completed)
The mission has finally been completed.
[System]
Mission completed.
1 Skill point is given.
[System]
We analyze the situation and present an appropriate mission.
[Mission]
Skill Upgrade (in progress)
HINT) Promotion requires 1 skill point. You can gain 1 skill point by deleting two skills.
HINT) You can be promoted once your skill level reaches MAX.
“Skill upgrade?”
The skill changed once.
Because the Earth Recovery skill has been changed to a Magic Removal skill.
“Is this different from a promotion?”
Looking at the explanation, it seemed different.
Promotion is something that happens after you achieve the MAX skill level.
“Anyway, this means raising your skill level, right?”
The current highest level is:
Removal of demon energy (LV 9).
“It would be nice if 10 was the max.”
The next day.
I came to the central anti-aircraft room early in the morning.
I saw a pile of blueprints on the desk.
Skills I have
Designer’s Guidance (Lv 3)
Helps you when creating a design.
The advantages of this skill were clear.
Saves time.
He showed me the completeness of the product even without having to make it myself.
The combination of ingredients for the ballista demonstration,
Combination of ingredients in soap.
It was even a great help in finding the ingredients and efficient ratio of gunpowder.
“The problem is…”
It is not of much help when you need an idea.
The time for simple repetitive experiments was reduced, but
I didn’t tell you the idea.
Aren’t you worried about not being able to make a gun trigger right now?
These worries became worse after receiving a new mission.
To complete a skill upgrade mission, it is efficient to raise the demonic energy removal skill level.
If you use mana for Designer’s Guidance, you will not be able to use the Demon Energy Removal skill.
Both are active skills that require mana to be used.
“Leave development to someone else?”
“Or should we create a development department?”
Ten or a hundred people are better at finding ideas than one person.
If you find an idea like that, you can use your skills to create an efficient blueprint.
“Okay, let’s create a development department. I can’t do it alone. “I don’t know how long it might take.”
The moment I stand up from my seat,
The door to the central workshop opened, and Debé and the craftsmen came in.
“Master, I have brought you selected craftsmen.”
The craftsmen who came with us bowed their heads.
“Everyone heard that he was an excellent craftsman. Do you know the people who make ballistas?”
“I know.”
“I know.”
“You will be controlled like them, yes, even more so than they were. Instead, I will take responsibility for you, your family, and even your grandchildren.”
“I will do it.”
“Please just leave it to me.”
Is it because of the full support given to ballista craftsmen?
As soon as the conversation was over, the artisans said they would do it.
I gave them three pieces of paper.
How to make gunpowder.
Gun blueprint (completeness level 9).
Cannon blueprint (completeness level 17).
“You just have to make it. We will give you priority access to the materials that arrive at the iron. So make sure to make it.”
“I will definitely make it.”
“Don’t worry!”
He moved his gaze to Debé.
“Deve, I hope you will help me a lot.”
“Well… I understand.”
Debe and the craftsmen went out,
I was left alone in the workshop.
I discarded the blueprints that were piled up on my desk.
“No matter how I think about it, I have to create a development department.”
Leave the production to Debé and the craftsmen,
I left Iron after a few months.
.
.
City Plain.
Government office.
When we entered the government office, Isaac and the officials stood up.
“Master.”
“Young Lord, are you here?”
“Lord So.”
“How is the current situation?”
I sat at the head of the table and received a report on the situation in the Dominion.
“Plain’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th satellite cities have been completed, and the settlement of wandering residents has also been completed.”
Six satellite cities were developed in a hexagon shape centered on the city plane.
Four of them have been completed.
“Then there are two left.”
“The 5th and 6th satellite cities are also scheduled to be completed within a month.”
Listening to Isaac’s explanation,
I read the materials that have been organized so far.
“There are a lot of wanderers?”
The population of the Plain and satellite cities alone exceeded 20,000.
With this number, it would be possible to cultivate a very large farm.
“So we created a new city plan. We plan to develop one outpost in the Orc region and two outposts in the Troll region into villages. “If my lord has time…”
“It’s time. “I will remove the magic energy.”
I still had to use the magic removal skill.
Because I had to raise my level.
If level 10 is max, you can complete the mission.
Then you can also try upgrading your skills.
‘Using the guidance of a designer right away does not result in a better gun blueprint.’
After all reports have been completed,
The bureaucrats left the conference room.
Only Isaac and I were left there.
“Master, are you finished with your trip to Iron?”
“Huh? No.”
What is the end?
I couldn’t even do 10% of what I planned.
Developed gunpowder,
Elementary level cannon,
And because we created a personal firearm that would be embarrassing to call a gun.
“I tried it. “I couldn’t possibly do it alone.”
“What do you mean…?”
“We need to create a development department.”
