"What worked, sis?" Ellie said as she went inside the room to check why her sister was yelling.
"Oh, Ellie, it's just this new gun I made," Nirra said as she tucked away her self-made steel milling machine under the crafting table.
"Oh? Can I see it?" Ellie said while she examined the strange machine her sister was putting away.
"Sure, just be sure not to drop it since I'm not done running durability tests yet." Nirra then stepped to the side so Ellie could get a good look at what her sister had made.
Ellie then walked towards the crafting table. She then saw a strange-looking shape that she had never seen before. It looked like her little side weapon, but it had a very thick middle part, along with the strange-looking cylinders made of parchment paper that were on the side. She then slowly lifted the strange device and noted that it was a little bit heavier than the other weapon she used.
"Is this an upgraded version of your weapon, sis?" Ellie said as she turned the weapon to the other side and noted that it looked very complex.
"Yeah," Nirra replied. "With this, I can shoot six times before having to go through the long process of reloading." She added.
"I see, and what are those cylindrical parchment things?" She asked.
"It makes reloading much easier and takes less time." Nirra answered. Ellie then took note of the sharp curves and some metal shavings on the ground beneath her feet.
"How did you manage to get this shape? It looks so perfect!" She asked as she stared at the metal shavings.
"Oh, I used that little machine near your foot. It takes off small parts of the metal like you would with wood, just more precisely," she answered.
Ellie then bent down to see what Nirra was talking about. It looked like a huge cylinder mounted on a big piece of wood with a strange attachment at one end and a central steel bar in the middle.
"Sis, this thing you made could revolutionize the way we make things," Ellie said as she stood back up.
"Yes, but I would rather not share it for fear of it getting into the wrong hands," Nirra said.
'if they get their hands on this, there is no telling what kind of weapons they could produce with a bit of magic. Better to be safe than sorry' Nirra thought.
"I see," Ellie said as she understood the consequence of letting this technology fall into the wrong hands of greedy people.
"Can I see what this new weapon can do?" Ellie asked again.
"Sure, but maybe later. I still have to do final checks on it as well as make some final adjustments." Nirra answered.
Ellie nodded and gently placed the revolver back on the crafting table before she faced her sister.
"I'll see you later, sis," Ellie said with a smile.
"Sure," Nirra replied with a smile of her own.
Ellie then left the forge as Nirra made the final checks on her arm. She nodded with a smile, saying that the revolver she made seems to be very sturdy and should last a long time.
She then took some measurements and started planning on making a revolver speedloader. A sort of cylindrical device that does exactly as its name would imply. It loads a revolver swiftly by loading all six rounds of ammunition at once and not one at a time. It should be really simple to make, so she grabbed a piece of steel ingot along with her makeshift electric motor and drill and fixed the steel ingot on the receiving end.
With careful hands, she slowly used the electric drill to cut the steel ingot into shape. She formed a cylinder and punched six equally sized holes around the base, going through to the back of the cylinder. She then left a hole in the center from the back, which she never punched out on the other side. This is where the second part would go to complete the setup. She placed it aside and went ahead and made the second part. Which looked like a long rod with a button on one end, which had a circular plate each with small holes and teeth on it that mimicked the hole placement on the other cylinder mounted on it. She combined the two together and added a spring to the bar. When she pressed on the button, the teeth went down and should have pushed the rounds inside the revolving cylinder of her weapon.
She then tested it out by placing six rounds of ammunition in the speed loader. She then opened the cylinder of her firearm and pressed the speedloader against it. She then pressed the button, which deposited all six rounds inside the revolving cylinder of the revolver. Nirra then pulled it away and closed the cylinder, pushing it back towards the frame of her weapon.
Nirra nodded in satisfaction as she went on to make five more speed loaders and load them all up with rounds of ammunition. She then opened the belt compartment she wore during combat and removed all the lead balls for her flintlock and replaced them by placing all of the speed loaders as well as her rounds of ammunition inside the compartment.
She then closed it and placed the lead balls to the side so they would be recycled and melted down to make more projectiles for her cartridges.
She then noticed the mess she made while she crafted the revolver and the speedloaders. So she starts cleaning. She first swept the floor to clear it of metal shavings from milling steel and melted it back down to ingots. She then tucked away her electric motor and drill under the crafting bench and organized all of the drawers she took parts from. After she was done cleaning, Ellie entered the room and whistled.
"This place looks new." Ellie commented
"Thanks, I'm done checking my weapon. We can go out and see if it works for the first time now," Nirra said as she turned to her sister with a smile.
"Okay! Lets go!" Ellie replied with a smile of her own.
