The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 33 The First Gun in the Territory
After arranging the love education camp, Ickert ordered Aris to lead the caravan to repair the granary and store it well. He found a blacksmith and hoped to build a "self-defense article".

This self-defense item is exactly Ickert's preparation for summoning the Ratmen.

In the magic rules of this world, summoning a magic circle is not a simple spell. This magic, which seems to be available to everyone, is actually a thoroughly high-level spell.

The one with magic rating 9
Regardless of the strength of the summoned creature, this magic is a spell that truly penetrates the plane, and its level cannot be low.

If it weren't for the existence of the spellcasting method of the magic circle, it would be impossible for a low-level mage like Ickert to use such magic.

In short, due to the nature of summoning to connect planes, there are actually two ways for summoners to summon creatures from other worlds.

One is to respond to summons. This method of summoning is mainly to directly output the spiritual power of the summoner himself to the other world. Mages call it "hook".

The hook can be in many forms, it can be a seductive speech, or some kind of weird portrait, mysterious language and so on.

In short, as long as it can attract (flicker) lure (young) alien creatures to respond to the call, the summoner can pull him to the original plane like fishing, so this method of summoning is also called "fishing call".

Of course, a huge amount of mana consumption is indispensable.

It was probably this form that Eckert used in the academy before. Since it was the first summoning and his mental state was not stable, he would be adversely affected by the target plane.

The one hundred ratmen he summoned were most likely the ratmen who responded to his call because they were desperate for the status quo.

There should be many such ratmen, but the energy at that time could only bring back a hundred.

The energy consumption of summoning is huge, to the point that ordinary noble families can't afford it.

No matter how to optimize the magic circle, you need a super high-quality magic power crystal to ensure that enough energy can be output to the magic circle and the magic pressure enough to activate magic.

Fortunately, the magic crystal can be reused, which allows the empire to sponsor a summoning opportunity for the frontline lords every quarter.

It's a pity that although the magic crystal can be reused, it needs a high magic pressure source to recharge it.

Where does high magic pressure come from?High-ranking mage chant!
Every summoning opportunity is hard-won, and each time the energy is limited, if Ickert wants to go ahead of other territories, he cannot take the usual path.

Therefore, the second summoning method was placed in front of Ickert.

The second method of summoning, also known as "Descent", is actually a plane travel technique, which descends to individuals in other worlds through consciousness, and influences native species, minimizing their resistance to responding to the summoning, saving summoning energy .

This method can not only contract with living beings, but also transfer substances from other worlds. Of course, the energy required will only be greater.

But Ikert has a dimensional stone!
According to Eckert's research, it is found that the wind of magic will gradually transform into magic power in this world, which seems to be gradually assimilated by the rules of the plane.

This means that the dimension stone can power the magic circle, and he guessed that this may be one of the reasons why he could summon a hundred ratmen for the first time.

However, compared to allowing it to supply enough energy at one time, Ickert still prefers to let it supply energy continuously.

This reason was reflected in the previous battle, and afterwards, Ickert also conducted a special experiment.

Taking the same amount of dimensional stone powder and igniting it, the energy released is actually unequal!
It's not that small difference, it's that big difference!

Sometimes, a small amount of dimensional stone powder can't even ignite wood chips, but sometimes, the energy released by it makes Ikert have to use his power to protect himself!
This is the magic power of chaos!It's completely chaotic, you never know how much energy a dimensional stone can release, this tm is random!

And this kind of randomness is still uncertain. It may release enough energy to blow up the mountain when it is ignited in the last second, and it will not even be able to emit a smoke in the next second!

You don't know what the intended outcome is until the moment the fact happens!Divination doesn't work!
Good guy, it turns out that the Ratman's machinery is stuffed with such things, no wonder it blows up and down all day, Ickert called it a good guy!
They really dare to use it!

It takes a lot of courage to use this kind of thing as an energy source, and considering the negative effects that the dimension stone will bring, he thinks it is better to let this energy slowly transform, which is much more stable and safe.

Due to the decision to adopt the summoning method of "Arrival", he may not be able to cast spells normally after he passes to the Warhammer world, and magic power will become a scarce resource there.

So, something unusual needs to be built to save him mana.

It's a gun!
This may sound a bit haha, but Ickert himself feels a bit too.

He has only come to another world not long ago, and the territory has not yet been established!This is about to start the technology line of Blue Star Violent Weapons, which is outrageous when you think about it.

But the reality is that he can really make guns.

What Ickert found was the blacksmith he had rescued in the village before. His father named him Hammerhead.

If it is read in the common language of the Empire, Hammerhead is Baharad, but once the sound is pronounced, people know that it means Hammerhead.

To build a firearm, a barrel is essential.

How to do modern seamless steel pipes, Ickert, as a mechanical dog, is naturally.
unknown.

Not everyone would have read through divine books such as "Simple Production Method of Explosive Equipment", "Militia Training Manual", "Friends of Military and Local Dual-Purpose Talents" a hundred times before crossing, and everyone is not a pervert.

Ickert only roughly remembers that the production process of modern seamless steel pipes is probably two kinds of cold drawing and hot rolling, but those two things... he has no hope at all now.

In addition, Ickert also knows that steel pipes for firearms can also be obtained by casting. However, if casting, first the mold will be deformed when it is subjected to changes in heat and cold, and the molten metal will also be mixed with air when it cools, forming bubbles. The overall performance is difficult to describe.

This method is more suitable for making cannons than guns, but it's a pity that what he wants now is not cannons.

The method Ickert is using now is to ask the blacksmith to knock!Well hit!
First of all, Ickert let the hammer head make the basic molds that will be used next. The other tools benefited from his search in advance, so they are relatively complete.

Under the command of the lord, the hammer head heated several iron ingots and forged them into a whole piece, and then beat them continuously with a ball-headed hammer until it became a mold that was sunken downward into an arc.

After that, Ickert ordered him to repeatedly forge the square iron into an iron rod, and grind the surface smooth for later use.

The diameter of the iron rod is about one melarie (approximately equal to 11.4 mm).

Next, he can start forging the barrel.
