Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence Chapter 745 - 72: Manor System and Hesse Holy Flame Gunpowde

There’s no doubt that this Hesse Holy Fla Gunpowder Academy and Bauhinia Holy Fla Foundry will both provide unparalleled support to the strong artillery forces of the territory.

Standing together on the highest tower with Su Li, Francesca explained: "Currently, we can produce 80 Uzul Holy Fire Heavy Explosion Bombs each month. If fired with 8 cannons, 10 rounds of a full salvo would exhaust them."

The low production of heavy bombs is indeed a significant issue.

Su Li asked, "How many gunpowder apprentices and dwarf artisans does the academy have? You must quickly increase the production capacity of the bombs."

Not to ntion 8000 per month, even 800 per month should be reasonable, right? The Empire has nearly 40 days in a month, which ans producing about 20 per day. Su Li felt that this number wasn’t very high.

Francesca replied helplessly: "The problem actually doesn’t lie with the academy. We have over 40 gunpowder apprentices and more than 30 dwarves. If they only produce bombs, each person could handcraft one each day. But the issue is that we don’t have enough gunpowder. Dwarf gunpowder requires volcanic sulfur, Rune linen, and a special type of dwarf blood, which we cannot produce in large quantities. We are forced to purchase at a higher price from the Gray Mountain Dwarves."

Sulfur, like Crystal, Mithril, and Vibranium, is a precious resource, and there’s not much of it in Hesse Territory.

Areas that generally produce Crystal and Mithril definitely don’t produce much sulfur. Hesse Territory is full of lush mountains and rivers, especially in the Black Pine Forest, where there are resource points like Lake Essonide producing Crystal, diamonds, and other resources.

This results in the low production of sulfur in the territory. However, Red Dragon Drake has a large amount of this resource.

Unfortunately, the trade routes are also blocked by Blue Mirror Territory.

Rune linen is sothing similar to nitrocellulose and is a unique specialty of the dwarves, sowhat like the silk of the East. Linen is the fabric that dwarves excel at weaving. As of now, humans haven’t mastered how the dwarves use linen threads to weave special patterns that create Rune effects. It’s really just impossible, much like how the West couldn’t learn the East’s silk weaving technique, it simply can’t be done. If it could, they would have learned it over the course of thousands of years.

In the end, it’s because the territory’s current domain and population are too small, lacking the advantages of being vast and resource-rich.

If Hesse Territory could annihilate Blue Mirror Territory and border Red Dragon Drake, this problem would be greatly alleviated.

Su Li clicked his tongue and sighed: "It seems that war against Blue Mirror Territory is inevitable."

Then he looked at Oliver and asked: "What do the Knights in the territory think about this? Has the Provincial Affairs Council done any pre-war mobilization and propaganda?"

"Of course!" Oliver replied with a smile: "The Hesse Noble Sacred Academy is precisely focused on these matters. This academy mainly nurtures theologians, bureaucrats, and cultivators of the territory."

"Those practicing in this academy include followers and scholars of the Goddess of Justice and Knowledge, as well as priests and cultivators from various churches, ensuring the purity of their faith and sharing thods for countering and purifying Chaos Corruption."

"These priests and scholars are extensively mobilizing and promoting, especially during this Glory Gas festival. We will extensively promote among the knights, making the war appear more just and honorable, attracting more knights to eagerly participate in this glorious war, and with a magnificent victory, boost the prestige of our forces."
