Roland immediately set off for the ammunition plant at the Third Border City
He knew Anna was not at Neverwinter at the moment, but he believed they could ies
If he intended to mass produce tracers, he had to rely on factory workers rather than Anna
Escorted by his guards, Roland entered the plant where all the workers went down to their knees, both excited and overwhel at the ecstatic look on their faces, Roland realized he had just made a rash decision However, since he was already here, he had no choice but to hastily turn this unexpected visit into a tour of inspectation
After the exhilarated workers returned to their workstations, Roland i thefor me"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The mechanism of a tracer was simple It was bascially a bullet head filled with luunpowder, sealed with a tailpipe and a shard of aluminium foil When the bullet escaped fronite the slow burning gunpowder and the accelerants, leaving a bright, dazzling trajectory behind
In the technologically advancedissue All they needed to do was to add another assembly line However, in Neverwinter where the development of industrialization was still in its infancy, it would be a lot more difficult to produce tracers First of all, luminescent activators were usually a nesium, and barium peroside, which meant they had to first create these che tracers Roland knew very well the industry level of Neverwinter Up to this date, the Ministry of Cheuarantee a constant supply of uns and ammunition to the First Army, let alone other additional weapons
The superintendant soon brought a worker to Roland To Roland's surprise, he was not a withered, gray-haired elder but a young man in his mid twenties The foreht and asked, "Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"
Roland understood that Neverwinter was currently industrialized Unlike traditional handicraftseneration who learned faster than the elders becaies closed the gap between the young and the old Experience was no longer an asset when it came to new production tools
Roland noticed that most workers in key positions were merely around 20 to 30 years old, which indicated that Graycastle was facing a bright future
Roland nodded in satisfaction and said, "I want to add so new to the bullets Now, listen carefully"
Since the "tablets" would produce dazzling light upon deforunpowder to provide a thrusting force that would create a flare
Theourd-shaped hole at the bottom of the bullet head and fill the hole with thin-sliced tablets When the bullet left the as would push the slices into the hole As those slices were stuck in the bullet, they could not restore its original shape but remain in a reduced state The tablets would thus keep illu until the electricity within was exhausted
After hearing Roland's explanation, the worker agreed to work on the project
The next day, Roland found a report on his desk
The result indicated that the experied to produce more than 20 tracers that left a clear, flashy trajectory on the screen
Roland felt very encouraged!
Poor visibility at night had been bothering the First Army for years Even with flares, it would still be hard for theht This problem would become even more serious when soldiers fired from above in the plane Pilots would have no idea where their bullets landed from the sky even on a clear day With a tracer to point out directions, they would then have a bigger chance to win the Battle of Divine Will
Traditional tracers would actually deviate from their courses as the luhter in the air, their centers of gravity shifted As such, there was an old saying before tracers idely used in wars, which was, if the target was hit by a tracer, then it meant you had just missed it Nevertheless, the tablets were a better option in a sense that their weights would not change during the process Roland only needed to slightly lengthen the bodies of the bullets so that they would work just as the same as normal ones
The only problem left noas how ion
