Chapter 122 Completion of the arquebuses

After closing the door of the laboratory, Gervais quickly came to the inner castle and called Anna to ride a horse to Binhai Town.

Gervais just walked into the sultry blacksmith’s room and couldn’t wait to move towards Bernard, who was working alone.

“Bernard, is my tin can ready?”

“Fief lord, here you are, it’s ready, the thing on your blueprint The assembly is also complete, and I am planning to send it to the castle for you at night.” Hearing seeing Gervais, Bernard immediately stopped his work, gave a salute to Gervais, and then walked aside to place the finished product. Next to the cabinet, he took out a musket over one meter long, and a few tin cans the size of a can on Earth.

“Sir, please check if there are any problems with these things. I made them according to your instructions. If there is anything that needs to be improved, you can tell me now, and I can help you change them. Just a moment.”

Sometimes Gervais admires Bernard very much. He has the strength of Silver Knight, and he is so respectful when he sees himself. It doesn’t have to be like this when you’re human.

But I don’t know if Bernard is accustomed to such a disguise, or has other considerations, and did not do it according to Gervais’s intention. Even when no one is around, he is treated as an ordinary blacksmith. Gervais, although calm on the surface, must be respectful.

Gervais was overjoyed when he saw several things in Bernard’s hand, and quickly approached and took the musket in Bernard’s hand. Ordinary blacksmiths can also do it.

What made Gervais most interested in was the matchlock gun. Gervais thought it would take tomorrow for Bernard to assemble the matchlock gun. Didn’t expect Bernard to be so fast.

Taking the arquebus in Bernard’s hand, Gervais walked to the window and looked closely at every part of the arquebus in the sunlight.

The first thing to look at is the barrel. The only difficulty with a musket is the barrel. The barrel should be straight and the inner diameter should be uniform, otherwise it may cause the barrel to block or even explode. Lifting up, he aimed at the sight on the musket with his eyes, and found that the barrel was straight and even, and there was nothing wrong with it.

So, Gervais put the musket down again, looked in at himself with the muzzle, and took out a round projectile from his pocket, which was exactly what Gervais had done the other day. The prepared lead shot, Gervais directly put the lead shot into the muzzle of the musket, and saw that the lead shot, which was basically the same size as the muzzle, slid down the barrel directly, and there was no jamming.

“Very good!” Seeing this, Gervais finally felt relieved, the barrel met the requirements, not to mention other parts, this is just the simplest arquebus, there are no other more sophisticated parts .

Gervais carefully inspected the entire musket and found no problems, so he said to Bernard: “Bernard, this thing is called a musket, I checked it again, there should be no problems, But I have to take it back and experiment to be sure, your craftsmanship is really eye-opening.”

“Hehe, fief lord is joking, this thing is a little more difficult except for the barrel, and it needs to spend more. Time, other parts are very simple, compared to this thing, full body armor is the real difficulty.”

Bernard did not accept Gervais’ praise, which was really not difficult for him.

“so that’s how it is, no matter what, you are the best blacksmith I have ever seen, and the inheritance of the Hammer family really is not in vain! But Bernard, now Alec has become My Guard, you can really try to recruit apprentices in my territory, after all, this craft is really amazing.”

Bernard’s craftsmanship did not say, in the first place When it was delivered with ordinary weapons and equipment, Gervais already knew. Although Gervais had no research on weapons, Iclauri and the other three knew what kind of effect an excellent long sword had. After a little experimentation, the quality was obtained. Superior conclusion.

Now that the musket is also completed under Bernard’s hammer, he is already envious of Bernard’s wrought iron craft, Gervais. Although he doesn’t learn it himself, he can let his serfs learn it, Bernard. After all, De is only one person. No matter how good the craftsmanship is, the time is limited. If Gervais needs a lot of weapons and equipment in the future, it will inevitably be affected by the output.

As long as Bernard is willing to recruit apprentices, after those apprentices learn, no matter what equipment they build, they can increase production.

Hearing Gervais’ words, Bernard laughed helplessly, then looked at Gervais and said: “Since the fief lord said so, I have nothing to object to, as the only descendant of the Hammer family, I can’t let the inheritance of the Hammer family be ruined in my hands, Alec now has his own choice, and the fief lord is willing to help me find a successor.”

Fortunately, This world does not have the strict inheritance concept on Earth, and Bernard has no other choice, so he reluctantly agreed to Gervais’ suggestion.

“Haha, Bernard, believe me, the inheritance of the Hammer family will flourish in your hands!”

Seeing Bernard finally agreeing, Gervais cheered, In his domain, only Bernard can strike iron, and his craftsmanship is exquisite. It is extremely difficult for Gervais to train a few of his own blacksmiths, but Professor Bernard is willing to solve this problem.

Through this period of contact, Gervais also knew Bernard’s character very well. He is a stand by one’s word person. Since he has agreed to recruit apprentices, he will definitely teach him seriously.

“When I go back, I will tell my steward to let him arrange some boys of the right age to come to you, you can choose slowly, if you are satisfied, stay, if you are not satisfied, change to the next batch. Pick.”

“So many thanks to fief lord!”

Bernard laughed, no problem.

“My lord, the mithril and iron ore have been fused together, and the mithril weapon can be forged soon. After sorting, I found that there will be about two kilograms of mithril iron in excess. I don’t know about this. Should the iron material be kept first, or the adults have other things to forge.”

Hearing this, Gervais thought about it, two kilograms of iron material is not much, but it is not enough to forge one. As for the long sword, as for the small pieces of weapons and equipment, Gervais needs to think about it. It has already been melted into mithril iron. It must be used up. Now only lack of money and protection of their own strength.

Suddenly, Gervais had an idea. He remembered two very good self-protection weapons on Earth, especially when they were close to one another. Thorn, short muskets, although the shooting distance is not far, but the formidable power is huge and easy to carry, as long as you get a holster, you can carry it with you.

As for the three-edged thorn, this is something that Gervais has long conceived. It can be used as a separate short blade, and can be installed on a musket as a bayonet. It is absolutely practical, but Gervais did not intend to use it. Mithril iron is used to make three-edged thorns, but this time there is just extra, so it is not a waste to make one for yourself. As for other soldiers, we will consider it later. The long sword is a joy to come.
