After Becoming The Tyrant

People always say that when the devil tempts people to fall, he always creates all kinds of unimaginable luxury.

However, there is actually one thing wrong with this statement. The devil can do this, but it depends on whether he is willing to do it.Obviously, he is very happy to create a luxurious and romantic scene for Mr. King.That day, after the song of the wind ceased, the revived blood servants, dressed in courtly costumes, filed in one after another. They wore pure white gloves and held silver plates containing gifts from the castle to the king.

Jewelry, diamonds, gold cups, swords... Hell beats the world's flattering nobles by a thousand miles in the matter of pleasing the king.

The lifeless castle took on a new look after that day.

"I always feel that you are trying so hard to make me settle here forever. Is that so? Mr. Devil."

The king walked unhurriedly along the slightly quiet corridor. The aesthetics of the vampires can be summed up as "luxury" in two terms, and the clothes they prepared for the king also reflected this.

"Is it inappropriate for your loyal servants to offer you their loyalty and respect, Your Majesty."

The devil cunningly avoids the crucial point in the king's problem.

"How many will they come?"

The king wore black boots, and the rose gold decorative chains on the boots would ring crisply while walking, and the brilliant candlelight fell on them, flickering with gemstones.

The chaotic hell actually has its own rules.The rule here is "authority", and the lords fight each other in order to compete for the authority of a wider range of rule.The authority corresponding to the original sin mentioned in the holy book is the strongest, which makes the king feel that hell is actually a reflection of the so-called "God Kingdom".

The powers now in the king's hands are "greed and ill-gotten wealth" and "arrogance and uncertain judgment".

How the former came about, the king knew.But when the latter was obtained by the devil, the devil did not say, and the king did not ask.

"Two-thirds, there are always some stubborn guys."

The devil knew it well, and his smile contained a trace of coldness.

"But it's all right, Your Majesty. They pay for their transgression."

"Who is the most troublesome?"

"The guy who mastered the rage." The devil replied, and when he mentioned the lord, a haze passed between his brows and eyes. "Of course, it will definitely not come to this banquet."

The king and the devil walked side by side through this rose garden of the castle while talking.

An undead lady who was in charge of repairing branches in the rose garden, she caught a glimpse of their figures inadvertently, and only felt that there was a strange tacit understanding between the two when they walked together.It is a strange thing that the proud monarch and the notorious devil often get along with each other, they are obviously testing each other but they are as comfortable as old friends.

The devil suddenly turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Undead.

Of course, there is an unparalleled tacit understanding between him and the king, and that tacit understanding comes from their oath.

The vow was made a long time ago. When both sides were ambitious, the world was like a pack of wolves.The monarch said, I give you the authority, we want to destroy the present world.Then he put his hand on the shoulder of the lonely devil, releasing the violence hidden in his heart that wanted to destroy everything.So, the devil pulled out his imprisoned knife, and went to kill from the sky to the ground for that oath. The monarch stood behind him, and watched with him the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood flowing slowly by.

"His Majesty."

The devil called to the king.

The king answered.

"We'll have a good show, I promise."

The devil smiled and said, he naturally opened the black umbrella for the king.

The king glanced at him: "It's better."

Side by side they descended the winding keel steps that led to the end of the steps of the Nightmare carriage.

Now that he has come to hell, the king intends to take this opportunity to personally inspect Legrand's first military heavy industry department.

During this period of time, the king has received many requests from Legrand's first military heavy industry department, and the most come from the two brothers of the chemist and the head of the military design department.

The military design department and the Gunpowder Research Institute did not know when a beam was formed. After Mr. Raul, the head of the design department, asked him to announce that the guillotine was superior to the fire rack and was rejected, he came up with a new idea after a few days.He actually and the Rogers brothers jointly requested the king to approve a "super-fire military gun" experimental plan.During this period, both sides reported their progress to the king with high spirits, and the results were remarkable.

There seems to be no problem on the surface, but a group of psychopaths tell you:

Your Majesty, our plan is progressing very smoothly, we can complete all our experiments within xx days, please rest assured!

Does that really reassure people?

Crazy plan, who knows what plan it is?

………………

In the wilderness in front of Qianrenzhifeng, there are many blast furnaces, gray smoke curling up, and the sound of tinkling iron and rumbling explosions are mixed together, which is particularly industrialized.

When the king arrived, the army of skeletons working all over the mountains and fields stopped their movements and happily took off their heads, just like the noble ladies and ladies waving their handkerchiefs, waving the skulls they held in their hands to pay respect to the king.This is the highest etiquette among skeletons, but... the workers who also witnessed this scene couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The Skeletons really don't have a good idea of ​​how horrific their act of goodwill is.

The king waved to the skeletons without changing his face, and accepted the respect and greetings.

The skeletons who got the king's response were even happier, and felt that their king was simply the most amiable human being in the world!

"idiot……"

Looking at this scene, the devil felt deeply ashamed—these skeletons have simply lowered the average IQ level of the entire hell.

However, the king was a little happy, because he got an excellent answer sheet - Legrand's first military heavy industry department performed much better than he imagined.

With the continuous support of raw materials, the gunpowder research department has determined the best military gunpowder ratio at present, and workers are already conducting large-scale production experiments.

However, one ironic thing is that the smooth progress of the mass production experiment of gunpowder is inseparable from the military design department...

After being ridiculed by the Rogers brothers, Mr. Lauer of the military design department led the department researchers who were as angry as himself, and began to study how to make the gun bore withstand more gunpowder.This group of people frantically did various experiments - if they didn't have a trace of reason, they almost used gold to cast cannons to test the durability.

In the end, they settled on bronze [1], and adopted the method of integral forging, which solved the problem that the forged iron cannon and the iron bars were welded with too much gunpowder, and the gunpowder was too strong and easy to explode.

It is not that no one has considered forging cannons from bronze before.But in the ground kingdom, the price of bronze forged iron cannons is too high, and no royal family can afford to support a firepower army using bronze forged cannons.But right now, the designers of Legrand's First Military Industry Department have a condition that all designers would be jealous of - they can use various materials to forge weapons.

When he saw the list of research materials consumed by the military research department during this period, the king deeply realized one thing: supporting a well-equipped army is directly equivalent to burning money.

During this period of time alone, the materials consumed by military designers’ experiments were almost equivalent to the annual income of the traditional royal family under the restrictions of the feudal knight system.

No wonder the initial development of gunpowder was so slow.

After solving the problem of the bearing capacity of the gun bore, Mr. Raul began to increase the amount of gunpowder in the shell without blinking.Gunpowder charges in shells of this period were rarely low [2].They gradually increased the powder charge from 15.00% to [-]% of the weight of the case.

Once, when the Rogers brothers were experimenting with a new ratio, Mr. Lauer came to the door politely and told him with a bright smile: "We have solved the problem of the bearing capacity of the gun bore, but now the gunpowder you produce It’s not enough for us to load the shells. We have solved the design problem of the barrel, but unfortunately you can’t provide the amount of gunpowder we need.”

Mr. Lauer's right-hand man unceremoniously sent back Mr. McLeary's original words:

"It turns out that your ability is to produce some powerful gunpowder that cannot be mass-produced."

"It's good to set off fireworks, but what the military industry needs is mass production!"

Mr. Lauer, who won a game back, walked away, and the Rogers brothers were so angry that they temporarily stopped experimenting with new gunpowder and turned to thinking about how to solve the problem of complex gunpowder production processes.

"So... this is the solution?"

The king stood in the gunpowder production factory with a complex expression, looking at the translucence floating in front of his eyes.

"The undead have excellent refrigeration properties." Bran stood in front of the king happily and explained, "The condensation effect of the undead in different ages is different. The longer the undead was born, the stronger the condensation effect..."

The Rogers brothers couldn't think of a way to make too many changes to the gunpowder manufacturing machinery for a while, and they were laughed at by military designers every day, and their hair almost fell out with worry.Finally, when they saw the amazing efficiency of the skeleton lizard and blacksmith working together, they turned their attention to the idle undead in the river of the undead.

Today's sulfur refining factories generally use the technology of heating the sulfur first, and then waiting for it to solidify before removing impurities.Then heat the sulfur with impurities removed to make it into sulfur vapor, cool and solidify to obtain the raw material of gunpowder.

In the whole process, it takes a long time to wait for the sulfur to solidify.

The Rogers brothers politely approached the undead and expressed their hope for their help-when they made their request, the crow Mona hovered over their heads.The undead were silent for a moment, looked at the skeletons, and finally climbed up from the long river of undead resignedly.

The devil looked at an undead lady who rose from the sulfur vat with her head in palace attire, and sighed weakly again.

"In order not to cool down too much and let the sulfur be directly frozen into powder, we specially investigated the year they were born..."

Bran babbled.

The king listened, and suddenly felt that the next "super-fire military artillery" might not be taking an unusual path.

The author has something to say: [1] Historically, iron smelting and copper casting techniques have been used in the manufacture of gunpowder weapons in the 14th century.

[2] In the early 15th century, the gunpowder charge in cannonballs rarely exceeded 15% of the weight of the cannonball.
