Master of Science and Technology

Chapter 1365: The use of firearms

Views:

It is theoretically possible to use gunpowder guns and cannons from the world of science and technology to deal with these desolate beasts with "magic resistance" in the Great Desolate Realm. Of course, the power of guns is not unlimited, especially firearms that use gunpowder explosions to shoot bullets. No matter how you improve it, there is a limit. In other words, even if they have guns and cannons, it is impossible for the people in the Great Desolate Realm to truly sweep across the Great Desolate Realm.

On the other hand, Ye Zan has always been worried about the development of guns, but now there is actually nothing to worry about. It's not that there is no need to worry, but it is useless to worry. After all, he has already demonstrated weapons such as firearms with Yuqing Sect before. Although, those firearms are still related to magic weapons and are not something that mortals can own, but who knows what will happen in the future.

From Ye Zan's point of view, perhaps he can use this reason to convince himself that guns are not given to mortals by himself anyway, and how they develop in the future is none of his business. Similarly, the firearms he introduced in the Great Desolate Realm were also used by the people in the Great Desolate Realm to fight against wild beasts. As for what other things those people would use them for, it had nothing to do with him.

Of course, such an explanation may seem a bit deceptive. However, if you think about it carefully, no one can say with certainty that if weapons like firearms appear in this world, they will definitely be rejected by the will of heaven. If we think about it from a positive perspective, it may be that the will of heaven would like to see ordinary people who are originally ants like ants in the eyes of ascetics using firearms to improve their status to a certain extent.

"Fellow Taoist said that there is something more powerful than this magic weapon. Does that mean that it does not use magic power to enhance its power?" Daoyuan Supreme asked Ye Zan curiously and excitedly. He, or the Supreme Divine Machine, is after all a powerful person in the Heaven-reaching Realm. Not only does he have profound cultivation, but his vision is also unmatched by ordinary people. Therefore, when I saw that the pistol used by Ye Zan could exert such great power without using any mana, I immediately thought of the situation in the Great Wilderness Realm.

In fact, in this wild realm, the real threat to the human race is not the wild beasts that stand at the pinnacle of strength. After all, on the one hand, those heaven-reaching wild beasts are not so numerous that they can be found everywhere, and on the other hand, they don’t really value the meat of the human race. What really threatens the human race and makes it so difficult for the human race to survive are the wild beasts in the middle of the entire pyramid.

Why do you say that

Although those medium-strength wild beasts could not be Tong Tian Supreme's opponents in a one-on-one fight, they were too numerous to resist. More importantly, since they all had extremely high "magic resistance", Tong Tian Supreme could not just kill a large number of them with one spell like he did with other low-level opponents.

Therefore, if a group of moderately powerful wild beasts launches an attack on a tribe with the Supreme Lord Tongtian at his command. The Tongtian Supreme was unable to kill a large number of those desolate beasts for a while. As a result, those desolate beasts would rush into the tribe and treat the relatively weak people below the Tongtian realm as food. Maybe after a big battle, Tongtian Supreme himself had nothing to do, but I'm afraid there weren't many people left in the tribe.

In the final analysis, the reason for all this is that the human tribe does not have powerful enough "physical attack" weapons to deal with those wild beasts with extremely high "magic resistance".

Yes, the human tribe also has crossbows, but the limitations of crossbows are too great, even if they are used by monks. What's more, if you want to deal with wild beasts, no matter how good the crossbow arrows are, the strength and effect will not be much better than the crossbow arrows of mortals. Regardless of whether you are a "sun-shooting crossbow", a "god-breaking crossbow", or an artifact that shoots a small star with one arrow, you can only see the effect of "physical attack" on the wild beast.

Of course, if they really are those legendary divine crossbows, their magic power may be too powerful, powerful enough to offset the "magic resistance" of wild beasts. But the problem is, that kind of divine crossbow is not a piece of cabbage on the street. Can anyone get it

"Oh, what the senior said is right. The weapon I have in my hand cannot be regarded as a magic weapon, and it does not require magic power to exert its power. And what I said is a weapon more powerful than this. To put it simply, it is this An enlarged version of a weapon, such as this..." After Ye Zan said this, he turned his palm and put away the pistol. Then a faint light flashed on the Qiankun Ring, and a sniper rifle appeared in his hand.

"This weapon..." Daoyuan Supreme didn't know what position this firearm held in Ye Zan's heart. Naturally, he didn't reach out to take it rashly and looked at it. He just stood aside and looked at it carefully. To be honest, it was fortunate that he practiced the inheritance of the mechanism technique, and he could still see some traces of the mechanism technique from that weapon, but it was impossible to know more.

After all, the power of this firearm is not only affected by the material and structure of the firearm itself, but the real key lies in the propellant of the bullet. The propellant of the bullet is integrated with the bullet. It is hidden in the rear case of the bullet. The bullet is loaded in the barrel of the gun. What can be seen by just looking at it with your eyes. In particular, due to etiquette concerns, Daoyuan Supreme did not use his spiritual thoughts to carefully scan the internal structure of the firearm.

"This weapon, hereafter called a sniper rifle, uses the same principle as the previous pistol, but the materials and structure are different. The reason for the difference is that the bullets are fired more stably, and the second is to withstand heavier loads. The strong explosive force can focus on propelling the bullet." Ye Zan didn't hide anything, not only explained to the other party, but also handed over the sniper rifle in his hand.

Ye Zan knew that when he used the pistol just now, the whole process of finding the bullet, Daoyuan Supreme should be able to see something. Therefore, regarding bullets and the principle of bullet firing, he does not need to explain to the other party in too much detail. This explanation is just to confirm the other party's guess.

Daoyuan Supreme took over the sniper rifle and knew Ye Zan's attitude, so he no longer had any scruples at the moment. He first reached out and touched the gun body back and forth for a moment, and then with a few clicks he dismantled the sniper rifle into parts. These parts were all suspended in front of him with magic power. He only held a magazine in his hand and took out a bullet from it.

The so-called mechanism technique is of course different from the machinery in the technological world, but there are still many things in common between the two. Therefore, even though it was the first time for Daoyuan Supreme to get a sniper rifle, he still had no difficulty in dismantling the gun with his skill in mechanical skills.

But having said that, these firearms in the technological world were originally designed with battlefield maintenance in mind, so their structures are easy to disassemble. For example, screws are rarely used on it, and large parts are connected with buckles. Even ordinary people can disassemble it with bare hands after learning, let alone a Supreme Being.

"If I am right, most of the power of this weapon called a sniper rifle should be in this little thing." Daoyuan Supreme held the finger-long pointed bullet and asked Ye Zan curiously. asked.

"Senior is right, I will call this a bullet. The structure of this bullet is not as simple as a crossbow arrow. Instead, a deflagrating drug is placed in the metal shell at the back. Therefore, when the firearm is fired When the propellant explodes, its volume expands instantly, pushing the warhead in front like a bowstring," Ye Zan explained further, and unscrewed a bullet to show the opponent.

"This is really a fantastic idea!" After hearing this, Supreme Daoyuan recalled the scene when Ye Zan used the pistol before, and couldn't help but admire.

Speaking of which, although the secular world of this world is similar to the so-called ancient period in the technological world, gunpowder has not been developed like the ancient times in the technological world. This may sound a bit unbelievable. After all, there are more ascetics in this world. Those fake Taoists in the ancient Hua Kingdom in the world of science and technology can produce gunpowder. Why can't these ascetics do the same

However, you have to understand that the fake Taoist priests were able to produce gunpowder because they were seeking the Tao but could not find it, so they refined all kinds of strange elixirs in order to achieve Tao. In this world, there are various sects that want to practice Taoism. Refining elixirs is the business of alchemists, and there are also elixir prescriptions for elixir cultivation. Who would use messy things to make elixirs.

In fact, there are many things in this world that are unexpected products. Someone wants to do something, but something goes wrong in the process, and maybe something happens. If he does this thing without making any mistakes in the process and achieves his goal smoothly, there will be no unexpected products.

Therefore, although the secular world of this world is very similar to the ancient world of science and technology, the similarity is only superficial.

Ye Zan watched Daoyuan Supreme reassemble the sniper rifle, and he also threw the bullet unscrewed from his hand into the Qiankun Ring, and then asked: "Senior, what do you think of such a weapon?"

"Such... weapons, if placed in other realms, may not be of much interest. But here, in the hands of the wild human race, it can become a sharp weapon against wild beasts. But..." said At this point, Daoyuan Supreme hesitated. After all, he was not sure what Ye Zan thought. Maybe he just took it out for him to see.

"Haha, senior, don't worry too much. Since I have taken out this weapon and asked my senior for advice, I have seen the significance of this weapon to the wilderness. Although, I also know that even if this weapon is used to the extreme, , it is difficult to really help the human race to sweep away the wilderness, but at least it can give fellow warriors in the wilderness an additional means to fight against the wilderness beasts." Although Ye Zan did not directly say that he wanted to sell guns, that was pretty much what he meant.

When Supreme Dao Yuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked: "Is it possible that fellow Daoist meant..."

Ye Zan nodded simply and said: "Yes, seniors have also seen it. It is not difficult to make this kind of weapon. The main thing is the bullet. Therefore, I intend to sell this firearm together with the Thousand Miles of Legends." , I think there should still be some market for it.”

For Ye Zan, making guns and bullets is easier than making Thousand Miles of God, so the production aspect is not a problem at all. It can be said that if Ye Zan is willing, it will not take long to arm a "modern" army. However, just like Qianli Chuanshen, even if this firearm can help him earn merit, he does not intend to give it to others in vain.

"Fellow Taoist, do you really have such an idea?" Daoyuan Supreme asked in surprise.

Originally, Daoyuan Supreme thought that Ye Zan would be reluctant to part with it. After all, ascetics often do not easily reveal their special methods to others, let alone give them to others. Of course, Ye Zan didn't want to give it to others, but to sell it to others like Qianli Zhuanshen, but what's the difference? After all, it would be in the hands of others.

"Senior has also seen it. This is not an extraordinary thing, especially for us cultivators. As the senior said before, if it were placed in the outside world, I am afraid no one would look at this thing. Only if Here, this thing is somewhat useful in dealing with wild beasts, so why wouldn’t I want to give it up?" Ye Zan explained with a smile.

"That's great. I, a member of the Great Wilderness, don't expect to sweep across the Great Wilderness. I just hope to be able to resist the threat of wild beasts. This kind of weapon of fellow Taoist, I have just seen it, it seems There are no high requirements for the user. Even if it is in the hands of a person who only has Qi Refining Realm cultivation, it will not affect its power. This alone is enough to make people in my wilderness seem to appear out of thin air. It has gained a lot of power, I am afraid no one can refuse its benefits." Daoyuan Supreme felt relieved and talked about another benefit of firearms.

In normal times, not all of these people in the Great Desolate Realm can fight against the Desolate Beasts. Only those with a certain level of cultivation can do so. Even those crossbow arrows used for "physical attacks" do not require the use of spells to increase their power, but in order to ensure sufficient "physical damage", not just anyone can open the crossbow and load the arrows.

But weapons like guns are different. You don't need to spend any effort to wind it. As long as you can withstand the recoil, you can use it to exert its due power. The vast majority of people in the Great Wilderness Realm are cultivators. Even at the lowest level of Qi Refining Realm, at least their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people. Those in the Qi Refining realm may not have the strength to use large crossbows, but they should still have no problem using firearms.

Therefore, if Ye Zan promotes firearms in the wilderness, it will be equivalent to giving those who cannot go to the "battlefield" the ability to fight against wild beasts on the "battlefield". They don't need to go up and fight the wild beast head-on. They can hide in the distance and fire their guns. They won't be in much danger and can still cause harm to the wild beast. Isn't this equivalent to having an extra group of manpower

"By the way, Fellow Daoist said before that there is a more powerful weapon like this. Is it this weapon called a sniper rifle?" Daoyuan Supreme asked greedily.
