Grant and Moreau brought important craftsmen and workers, some of whom even had gray beards, so naturally they couldn't move faster.
Lorne puts the blame on Athena, which is obviously unfair.
But she even tolerated the man lying on top of her.
Athena just pretended that she didn't understand what Lorne meant.
But she still had to answer seriously, otherwise this beast might suddenly get horny and crawl into her bed again at night.
"Many of the master craftsmen are older, but they should be arriving soon.
And I have followed your instructions and passed back your thoughts on these weapons.
With the heretical samples and your explanation, I believe they already have imitation method."
When he got the Lee gun sent by Athena and found that it did not have a match rope but was fired by flint, Lorne already understood that Brilliant City had invented a flintlock gun.
But I don't know if it's a technical problem or the reason that the ancestor of the Li family doesn't know much about firearms.
The Li gun invented by the Li family is still a backward front-loading model.
Although Lorne himself is not a military fan, there is one thing he is very sure of.
That's a normal firearm, and the bullet will definitely not be inserted through the hole.
Flintlock muskets were something he came into contact with in history classes, but the original rifles that really impressed him were millet plus rifles.
This is the so-called bolt-action rifle.
It is common sense for rifles to load bullets from behind the butt.
In response to this, he handed over what he knew to Athena to the master craftsman of their Stuart family, regardless of whether others could understand it.
But these master craftsmen are all craftsmen of the Stuart family, and they are indeed the most elite group of talents in the entire empire.
But it would definitely be difficult for them to understand what Lorne meant and skip the firing gun and go directly to the era of breech-loading guns.
What's more, he didn't point out the most important part.
Even the Li family had just entered the experimental stage of fixed-loading ammunition.
If Lorne wanted to surpass the Li family in one go, he should first work hard on the formula of gunpowder.
Continuing to use the original formula that I got from the Li family, no matter how many ideas I have, it will only cause confusion for those craftsmen in the end.
Fortunately, the craftsmen of the Stuart family had not just come into contact with flintlock guns from Lorne.
They were already researching heretical weapons for His Majesty the Pope when they were under Keira.
Unfortunately, Keira was eager for success and was too demanding when assigning work to them, so that the research was always put before the horse and came to no result.
In the end, Lorne was given an advantage, and Keira returned all the craftsmen she felt were useless to Athena.
Apart from Lorne's excessive demands, they could actually make it by disassembling it just for imitation.
Of course, it will take some time before the finished product is actually handed over to Lorne.
The most important reason why Lorne asked them to come over was that he wanted these people to teach his modified people how to operate the cannon.
His purpose was to seize the heretics' logistics, and then use those so-called Li weapons to attack the Li family's army.
"Let them move faster.
The Clark family is about to start a war with the heretics.
After this battle, the heretics will definitely replenish their used weapons.
If there are enough, I might take action in advance."
Whether it is flintlock guns or artillery, they are all consumables in Lorn's opinion.
If the Li family wants to ensure the combat effectiveness of their troops, they will definitely continue to send their weapons to the front line.
If Marquis Clark could work harder and destroy some of the Li family's artillery, then the artillery would definitely appear in the Heretic's next logistical supply.
For this reason, Lorne had to remind Marquis Clark a few words in his reply.
Unfortunately, neither Marquis Clark nor the Li family acted according to Lorne's expectations.
The Marquis just wanted to test the situation and did not intend to use all his strength.
The Li family is even directly a third-line C-level army.
Let alone artillery, the army of nearly 50,000 people does not even have many muskets.
Even the only muskets were flintlock muskets that had been eliminated by the front-line troops.
Yes, there is advanced knowledge to help.

The flintlock gun has been eliminated by the Li family.
They have developed a primer device and powerful smokeless gunpowder.
The percussion gun that can fire quickly is their main weapon.
However, no one is perfect.
No matter how powerful the Li family ancestor is, it is impossible for one person to understand everything.
Therefore, although the Li family's army has begun to install advanced percussion guns and use fixed-loading bullets, their method of loading ammunition is still through the hole of the gun.
You must know that the invention of the primer was not just for rapid firing.
If the ancestors of the Li family were familiar with the history of muskets and cannons, the Li family at this time might have been able to directly level the empire with breech-loaded cannons.
As for the flintlock rifles, it is not impossible to compete with them with the brave cavalry in the north.
Lorne still had some expectations for Marquis Clark, but the final outcome was beyond Lorne's expectation.
"Fighting in a stalemate" After hearing the conclusions summarized by Sophia, Lorne's first reaction was disbelief.
"Are you kidding me?
How can those bumpkins from the north be on a par with the people from Brilliant City?"
If such words were heard by others, Lorne would definitely be pulled out and quartered by the angry northerners.
But although there were many people present, no one would make a fuss about this.
For example, Bishop Sophia, who is also from the North and was called a country bumpkin by Lorne, still reported with a normal expression.
"According to the news from Marquis Clark and the secret report from the supervisors we sent, their attack did not encounter the expected counterattack this time.
The heretics did not use their best weapons, and Marquis Clark also mentioned that the opponent's cavalry combat method was different from ours.
The North is very similar.
Especially the ability to divide into small groups to fight, they can even briefly compete with the Clark family's cavalry. " Flintlock muskets and queuing to kill were the mainstream methods of combat used.
If the stragglers are fighting, they have to be rifled.
When he heard that the heretics actually gave up their own advantages and engaged in cavalry fights with them in the north, Lorne immediately thought of a person.
"It's John Carter, the traitor" The cavalry is the most powerful part of the North, and it is tied with the heretics.
Marquis Clark and Lorne have the same suspicion.
But after joining the Li family, under strict military management, it was impossible for John to raise his own banner.
So whether John was commanding, Marquis Clark suspected but had no evidence.
But having these doubts is enough for Lorne.
Anyway, he does not believe that the Li family with advanced technology will be able to compete with the Clark family
