Chapter 30 Building Cannons Together
"So you hope I will help you create cannons that are powerful enough to solve the avalanche?" Old Man Henry took a deep breath, holding the hunting rifle in one hand and holding the hand of his daughter-in-law beside him. Even he was a little surprised by the imagination of this noble young master.
If it were him, the third young master of the Livier family in the frost territory might have such whimsical thoughts. Old Man Henry's mind was swiftly turning various thoughts. The Bai Ye Livier he knew in his memory might really do such a ridiculous thing, but the boy in front of him was not very consistent with the rumors...
The artillery bombarded the snow-capped mountains, causing the avalanche to occur in advance, weakening its harm in a small range. Moreover, the avalanche he mentioned this time was scattered at seven points. This way, this seemingly stupid approach is indeed the best, if an avalanche really comes.
"Yes, listen to Miss Nancy's introduction. You have served in the army and are an excellent artillery soldier who is proficient in the production technology and use of artillery. I believe that as long as you have enough money, you will be able to bring us a cannon that can solve the problem."
Bai Ye bowed slightly, and he knew that Mr. Henry would never refuse him. When he chose to come here, he had already made a decision.
"Hey, hey, hey... aren't you really kidding? That's a cannon. If you find yourself in private making arms, you will be sentenced to death by the Holy See!" Bill shouted in surprise. Like ordinary townsmen, he sincerely believed in the goddess of wisdom and the Holy See who believed in her as the supreme god.
The ban on the Holy See is above everything else!
The charge of privately making arms is almost the same as hiding a witch. Once discovered, they will be sentenced to death and announced to the public.
It’s the Holy See again, why is the damn Holy See always obstructing him? Bai Ye had a headache, which was a problem he had never considered.
After Bill reminded him, Nancy and the others also realized the seriousness of the problem. They didn't know Bai Ye's real plan at the beginning. When he just said it, he was deeply shocked. Now he came back to his senses. As Bill said, creating arms privately is a serious crime!
Lan Ni rubbed the corner of her clothes and didn't know what to do. They believed in the goddess of wisdom. This beautiful and intelligent goddess was the first godmother of the Holy See. It was the belief of everyone. It was unimaginable to violate their own beliefs and teachings.
But Bai Ye, who made this suggestion, was also regarded as a respectable person by this kind and gentle girl. The conflict between the two beliefs made her completely at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Also uneasy were Nancy and several town residents, who made cannons that only the army could configure. Not to mention whether it was successful or not, once the matter was leaked to the main city of Molias, their Green Town would be in trouble, and if my mother knew about this, she would have tried her best to obstruct it.
Even the son of Duke Levire did not have the power to create arms without authorization.
The discussion was in a stalemate, and everyone looked at each other, and only Zero leisurely used his fingers to turn his long hair into small circles. Perhaps there was nothing to worry about in her eyes.
"Do you think observing the orders of the Holy See are more important than your own life?" Zero's rare poisonous tongue suddenly opened, which made Bai Ye a little unexpected. "This is not bad. You can beg for forgiveness from the Goddess of Storm, or hope that the omnipotent Goddess of Wisdom will come to help you solve this avalanche. Maybe it will be useful and not sure."
Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, such a noble young woman would say such mean and harsh words. Nancy and Lanni were particularly surprised, but they just pursed their lips and said nothing, because she was right. They knew in their hearts that the so-called arrival of the goddess could not exist.
If the goddess of wisdom was favored, the tragedy three years ago would not have happened.
"Your name is Bai Ye, right? Let me ask you another question, are you sure the avalanche will come ten days later, and it will be distributed at seven points?" Old Man Henry asked again as he looked at Bai Ye's eyes.
This time, before Bai Ye answering, Nancy spoke first: "Please believe me, Mr. Henry! This is the result I calculated through the method taught by the teacher! The teacher once predicted the last avalanche!"
Nancy's face turned red, she tried her best to make others convinced her, and when she said this, Old Man Henry's expression changed, and Mrs. Ross, who was giggling around him, paused slightly.
"Did Jenning teach you?" Old Man Henry did not question or refute for the first time. When he mentioned this name, he had a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. Then he danced his hunting rifle and finally nodded heavily, "Okay, I agree to make artillery for you."
"Crazy...you're all crazy..." Bill said powerlessly. The other townsmen who had the same expression as him were, but they did not choose to leave. The others looked at Bill, and Bill was shaken and chose to stay here.
"Aren't you planning to leave?" Bai Ye looked at Bill and the others with a smile. They were just unstable. The few people in the crowd who were willing to come and listen to the methods. Of course, if he knew that creating arms was such a terrifying thing, his previous plan would not be so casual.
If these people choose to leave, they must be prepared to prevent them from rumoring.
Bill shook his head, his eyes swayed, and suddenly became firm: "We are willing to believe in your judgment and Mr. Henry. If the avalanche really comes, it is better to fight for it than to die. At worst, you can fail and then run away."
"Then you are welcome to join our team and let us build cannons together." Bai Ye smiled slightly and kept the chip's analysis record of the three people. At the same time, he looked back at Mr. Henry and Mrs. Ross, and also used the chip to scan and analyze it.
The three numbers are no different from those of ordinary people.
There was no book recorded in the study before about making cannons, otherwise he would not have needed to ask Mr. Henry for help. Although he had played many such games and construction things in his previous life, it would definitely not be that simple to get started.
Bai Ye still had a headache when he thought of his major, but now he doesn’t know whether it’s good or bad.
"If we want to quickly create a powerful artillery, the best choice is a slightly lighter smoothbore field gun. The gun body, gun stand, barrel, wheel, and shells are enough. The assembly process is not difficult, but it is quite difficult to make these materials, especially shells." Old Man Henry whispered. This is his skill. "Making drawings is in my mind. As long as I can get all the materials together, I can assemble one in three days. As long as the shells are not bad, there should be no problem meeting your requirements."
"Okay, then we just need to be responsible for collecting the materials." Bai Ye glanced at everyone and smiled slightly, "No problem. Since we have agreed, we will go back first. I will contact you one by one when the specific tasks are assigned."
Everyone nodded and scattered and walked towards their hut. Old Mr. Henry looked at Bai Ye's back and saw a ray of light flashing in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
