Foreign female military division: the marshal's little favorite wife

However, everyone's doubts followed Dever's ignition of the fuse, and a loud bang resounded through the sky.

Dever excitedly danced the dance of the dwarves. The dwarves saw that the mortar made of ordinary fine iron did not explode, which would be another historic breakthrough.

In the current human army, the mortar gunner is a noble profession, and its importance is no less than that of a high-level archmage, not because of anything else, but because the mortar is extremely expensive. Mortars need to consume a large amount of black iron ore. Only high-level blacksmiths can dissolve a large amount of black iron into ordinary fine iron, so that the refined black iron alloy can achieve sufficient strength to support the mortar. The huge explosive force produced by the mortar when it explodes.

And one kilogram of black iron can replace 50 kilograms of ordinary refined iron. The price of one kilogram of ordinary refined iron is about one gold coin of western medicine. If a mortar needs 50 kilograms of black iron, that is the price of [-] gold coins ! [-] gold coins can buy no less than a thousand muskets!

It is precisely because mortars are expensive that mortar gunners must be composed of the regular class or the wealthy business class.And the training of mortar players is also very difficult, as those famous mortar players said, a good mortar player is fed by shells, and those shells also need a lot of money to buy .

Just imagine, after Qian Fengqian's technological improvement, every mortar manufactured can save [-] kilograms of black iron!All mortars can be manufactured with only cheap ordinary refined iron. How much cost will this save?Now for the money of casting one black iron mortar, tens of thousands of mortars can be produced!

In this way, the price of making one mortar is almost the same as making ten muskets. If this technology can be widely used in the entire army, then the current musketeers can be replaced with weapons with higher attack power. , The mortar corps with a larger attack range!At that time, no matter how many enemies there are, they will be reduced to ashes under the rain of shells!

When Qian Fengqian saw this, she thought to herself, when the time comes, she will apply to Christopher for an ordinary army, and then let the dwarves produce a large number of mortars, and then set up a special artillery army, haha... ...that's a really good idea.

Moreover, as much as ordinary refined iron is needed, a powerful artillery regiment can be equipped with a small amount of gold coins!In the future, on the basis of this artillery regiment, we can try to equip more, more complex, and more advanced cannons, such as field artillery...

Uh, Qian Fengqian suddenly realized that she was thinking too much, too far away.

Qian Fengqian stopped her "fantasies", called the captain of the logistics team over and said: "The dwarves have made outstanding contributions to the army, and I want to reward them. Now I order you to open a new camp as the dwarves' camp." Homeland, let them gather the lost dwarves to live in peace, and also, find all the fine iron in the barracks and give them to the dwarves."

The captain of the logistics force wrote down everything Qian Fengqian said in his notebook, and finally asked, "Sir, do you have anything else to say?"

Qian Fengqian thought for a while and said, "Ah... by the way, there is one more thing, to buy a hundred catties of grapes for Mr. Dever."
