Regarding firearms in the technological world, Ye Zan has always had two concerns: First, he is worried that it will affect the development of civilization in the monastic world and lead the original monastic civilization down a strange path; second, he is worried about the killings caused by firearms. , which will make you bear unbearable consequences.
After all, in terms of use, the use of firearms is quite simple, and there is almost no threshold. Moreover, an ordinary person, also known as a "mortal", can even kill the Golden elixir master among the monks as long as he uses a powerful firearm, which will also pose a considerable threat to the ancestor of Yuanying.
The power is not directly proportional to the difficulty of use! Ye Zan's two concerns can be said to stem from this.
In the world of monasticism, ascetics have always been aloof beings, and even regard ordinary mortals as ants.
So, do the ants have any ideas for counterattack? I believe there should be some. However, perhaps when there is no other way out, more people who want to become "a person above others" still have to take the path of cultivating Taoism.
However, when these mortals become ascetics, they will naturally have to protect the interests of the ascetics. This is "the butt determines the head". Just like those who started the peasant uprising, finally sat on the throne, who would care what happened to the civilians.
And once the "secular mortals" in the world of monasticism have firearms that can fight against monastics, it will be equivalent to having one more choice besides monasticism. When people know that this kind of thing is very useful and has the potential for further development, they will inevitably invest their energy in further development. As a result, monastic civilization has another fork in the road, and God knows what it will eventually develop into.
In addition, secular mortals have firearms and the ability to compete with monks. Is it time to rise up and resist next? If secular mortals want to "counterattack", the monks will definitely not be happy, and they will naturally take action to suppress it! It was originally a hidden conflict, because things like firearms are likely to intensify the conflict, and it might lead to a drama of chaos in the world.
Therefore, when Ye Zan was in the world of cultivation, he only asked the disciples of the sect to study the firearms, and then used them to deal with wild beasts in the wilderness.
However, after consulting the clone of Xuanyuan Daozu, Ye Zan gained a better understanding of the relationship between the world of science and technology and the world of heavens. He also knew that although his previous concerns could not be said to be completely unfounded, they were indeed too serious.
You must know that most of the products in the technological world do not exist independently, but each thing represents a huge industrial chain. For this firearm, the gun body involves the metal smelting and forging industry, and the gunpowder for the bullet involves the chemical industry. It also requires theoretical support from many disciplines.
In other words, even if Ye Zan takes out firearms in the monastic world, it is difficult for people in the monastic world to have the ability to "make their own". They need to develop knowledge in metallurgy, chemical engineering, physics and other disciplines to meet the various "pre-requisite" needs of firearms manufacturing, and only then can they truly manufacture firearms and bullets themselves. However, the time and energy required to invest in this cannot be accomplished by just a few geniuses.
In particular, the development of scientific research talents and science and technology also requires a suitable social system.
In the ancient Chinese country in the world of science and technology, it was once said that "everything is of inferior quality, but studying is high." Everyone was focused on the imperial examinations, and those who engaged in research and invention became "exotic skills and ingenuity." As a result, under the strong guns of the Western powers, they had no choice but to open the country, leaving behind a very humiliating history.
Are the people of Ancient China not smart? Facts have proved that the ancient Chinese people are at least no worse than Westerners. The fundamental reason is that those in the West who engage in "strong ships and cannons" become masters, while those in the East who engage in "strange and cunning skills" have neither fame nor fortune.
The social system of the world of monasticism is now like that of ancient China. Everyone is focused on becoming an official, and at most they still have a path to monasticism. If anyone claims to have invented something, they will be said to be not doing their job properly, and even be scorned by others. In such an environment, it is almost impossible to develop the prerequisite disciplines for "self-made" firearms.
Of course, monks can also make firearms using weapon refining methods. After all, the principle of firearms is not complicated. Using extraordinary power, they don't need to consider those prerequisite disciplines. Almost everything can be solved through weapon refining. However, those who have the ability to refine weapons must at least have the cultivation level of the golden elixir realm. Which golden elixir master is willing to make guns day and night? What's more, why should the ascetics invest energy in weapons that mortals can use against the ascetics.
Therefore, without the modern industrial foundation of the technological world, even if the secular people in the monastic world obtain firearms, they will not actually develop the things that Ye Zan is worried about.
But now, Ye Zan is not in the world of monasticism, but in the world of dawn, the colony of evil spirits outside the world. The Dawn World also did not have the conditions of the technological world, and it was also impossible to "make it yourself" when obtaining firearms, so he didn't have to worry about any trouble.
Dawn Resistance armies around the world quickly received firearms supported by the church. After becoming familiar with how to use them, they finally cheered up again. Originally, facing the extraordinary beings of the government army, they no longer had much hope for the future. However, after having firearms and understanding the power of firearms, those extraordinary beings can no longer become their nightmare.
Of course, when it comes to the distribution of firearms, Ye Zan's side is not careless. After all, those resistance forces were not just civilian rebels, but also aristocratic forces who wanted to fish in troubled waters. Although, those anti-government noble forces may have nothing to do with wizards. However, the church's slogan for inciting the common people to revolt was to "beat the nobles and divide their fields", so naturally they could not do anything to slap themselves in the face.
On a battlefield in the Dawn World, facing the "peasant rebel army" besieging the city, a royal mage group stood on the city wall. Under the city wall, there were patches of frost, patches of scorched earth, and traces of magic bombardment everywhere. At the same time, a large number of poorly dressed corpses fell in various postures on the traces of the magic bombardment.
"The untouchables opposite have been silent for more than ten days." A magician in black robe pointed at the distance with his wand. In the direction he pointed, there was a large, crude camp that looked lifeless, as if it were a cemetery.
"Haha, they attacked several times before, but they couldn't even get close to the city wall. If you still have any brains, you know that attacking the city is hopeless." A magician, also wearing a black robe, was quite proud. said.
"Then they should retreat. Waiting here to spend time with us won't do them any good." A knight next to him, who looked like an iron can, held the helmet he had taken off and wiped the sweat from his forehead. .
"Haha, if they had that kind of brain, they wouldn't rebel! They think they can get up from the mud with the secret support of the church. They are hopelessly stupid." The magician said with a sneer.
While several people were talking, the lifeless camp in the distance suddenly became noisy. Immediately afterwards, the "untouchables" were seen lining up in loose lines from each camp gate, heading towards the city again.
"It seems that the previous lessons are not enough!" Seeing this scene, the people on the city wall not only did not have the slightest worry, but seemed to be excited.
After all, the previous battles had proven that this was not a war, but a simple massacre. Those magicians were even able to experiment with the magic they developed on the battlefield. Such opportunities were usually difficult to find.
The people on the city wall were very relaxed, but the performance of the "Peasant Rebel Army" under the city wall was a bit bad. After all, the previous several strong attacks not only failed, but also left countless corpses under the city wall. Now, they were preparing to attack the city again. Without knowing the church's secret weapon, they naturally regarded this as another battle to the death.
Fortunately, when they were about to enter the magician's range, an order came from the commander to stop advancing. Although everyone was confused, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least this meant that they could live for a while longer. As for what to do next, no one has any expectations. Anyway, it is either advance or retreat.
"Hey, they stopped, they stopped a bit far away!" The magicians who started to prepare magic seemed a little disappointed when they saw that the other side had stopped outside the shooting range.
The magician's magic is not actually a long-range attack. It is considered good if it can hit dozens of meters away. After all, their magic relies on "throwing", or relying on a little push from the magic itself. In fact, if there are enough strong bows and crossbows, they can also suppress the magician to a certain extent.
"What do they want to do? They are not here to surrender, are they?" A magician said jokingly.
"Surrender? These untouchables dare to use the slogan 'beat the nobles and divide the fields'. Even if they surrender, there will only be death!" Another magician said bitterly.
However, just as the people on the city wall were guessing the intentions of the untouchables, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" sound from the team outside the city. The people on the city wall were about to think about what the sound was, but they saw that their companions around them had blood splattered on them. Some people's heads even exploded instantly like a watermelon that was smashed open by an "invisible" force.
"What! What's going on!" The lucky man shrank up quickly and looked around, asking eagerly.
"Ah! What! I was shot by something!" A magician covered his chest and collapsed on the ground without any image, shouting with horror on his face.
Of course, magicians have defensive magic that can withstand swords and some long-range attacks. However, in their previous battles, they did not find that the untouchables had powerful long-range attacks. And, this time, the pariahs stopped just that far away. Therefore, they did not prepare defensive magic in advance.
"Bang bang bang!" Another series of explosions came.
With this series of explosions, the people on the city wall were like wheat being cut down, and they saw another piece falling down.
Not only were the people on the city wall frightened, but the "Peasant Rebel Army" was also in an uproar. Many people turned back involuntarily to see what was causing the explosion behind them.
What it is? They looked like black iron pipes, with only some changes in the places held by the "elite soldiers". Could it be that the explosion came from the black iron pipe? And those people who fell on the city wall were frightened to death by the sound of the black iron pipe? However, the sound is not that strong! We are so close, so I don’t think there’s anything scary about it!
The black iron pipes in the hands of those "elite soldiers" are naturally the firearms provided by Ye Zan, which are long-range rifles with sniper functions. However, firstly, to avoid trouble, and secondly, due to the production of firearms, Ye Zan could not really equip everyone with firearms. Therefore, he only provided those "peasant rebels" with enough firearms to form an elite team.
After all, not everyone has the extraordinary power of the nobles, and they can only form small units such as "Knights" and "Mage Group". Therefore, as long as the "Peasant Rebel Army" has enough strength to fight against the enemy's extraordinary strength, it does not necessarily mean that everyone has a gun.
Among this rebel army, the church selected a group of people, trained them in the use of firearms, and then issued firearms and sent them back to the army. As a result, except for the senior leaders of the rebel army, most of the people below did not know the existence of firearms. The past ten days since the last siege were actually the time for those selected elites to receive firearms training.
A sudden and powerful attack caused inexplicable losses to most of the people on the city wall. However, the rebel army did not immediately launch an attack on the city, but continued to let the gunmen stare at the city wall. Whenever someone shows up on the city wall, several guns will be pointed at it together, and several rounds of bullets will be fired at the target instantly. After so many rounds, it is uncertain how many people are alive on the city wall, but what is certain is that no one dares to stand up.
It was only at this time that the commander-in-chief of the rebel army issued the order to attack the city, and the "infantry" immediately howled and rushed towards the city wall. After several rounds of attacks by the gunmen, seeing that the magicians on the city wall were suppressed, these ordinary rebel soldiers had forgotten the terror caused by magic before. They have gained confidence that this time they might really be able to capture the city and put those noble men on the guillotine!
"Kill! Charge! Damn it!" The rebels howled and rushed to the city wall, set up ladders and climbed up the wall. At the same time, the gunmen at the back continued to stare at the city wall, staring at the magicians who appeared, and shot them one by one.
