After the relocation ceremony of the institute, Liszt did not stay in the East China Sea for too long, but only inspected its Osborne Weapons Company.

Osborne Weapons Company, the shooting range where the research department is located.

The tester is testing a new gun, a rifle equipped with a scope, or to be precise, a sniper rifle.

Since the defeat of the South China Sea Battle, the Revolutionary Army has damaged important cadres such as Ivankov, and was surrounded by Cipher Pol. The losses have been heavy and he has to stop and move into underground activities.

Losing the Revolutionary Army as a source of customers, Osborne Weapons' marketing volume dropped sharply. However, Liszt did not reduce Osborne Weapons' R&D funds, and collected a large amount of relevant information from the West Sea, South Sea and North Sea to draw nutrition from research in other regions. At present, the company has made breakthrough progress in smokeless gunpowder.

Smokeless gunpowder was one of two topics left by Liszt when Osborne Weapon Company was founded, and the other topic was a high-precision rifle with rifles.

The boss's order is naturally the biggest task. Through his own network of relationships, John Kiefers dug up famous scientists, gunpowder experts and weapons experts in the East China Sea, forming a research team to solve two tasks.

First, a scientist named Schönbai accidentally invented a nitrocellulose fiber. After burning, there was no smoke or ash. However, the gunpowder generated at this time was very unstable and gunpowder explosion accidents occurred many times.

Immediately afterwards, a colleague named Vieri dissolved nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol, added an appropriate amount of stabilizer to form a gelatinous substance, and made it into the world's first smokeless gunpowder by pressing it into sheets, cutting strips, and drying and hardening.

The emergence of smokeless gunpowder paved the way for the development of ammunition. Now, Osborne Weapons' rifle bullets have basically evolved from large-caliber black powder gunpowder gunpowder gunpowder gunpowder gunpowder gunpowder gunpowder, increasing the range of the projectiles, improving ballistic straightness and shooting accuracy.

The change in ammunition also means that the gun body needs to be changed. With the development of processing technology, Osborne Weapon Company's production line has gradually eliminated the flintlock rifle and turned to producing more advanced semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles.

These guns have appeared in the West and North Seas, but they are still using black gunpowder as fire medicine, and the bullets are still round lead bullets. Based on smokeless gunpowder, Osborne Weapon Company has developed a cylindrical full-loaded bullet and transformed and upgraded semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles that are still using black gunpowder lead bullets. Compared with the flintlock rifles that are popular in the world, these rifles have greatly improved the rate of fire and accuracy.

With smokeless gunpowder and new rifle design information, the high-precision shooting rifle proposed by Liszt, that is, sniper rifle, will naturally be solved.

There is a problem that the world government and the navy must be aware of the benefits of semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles, so why are they still insisting on flintlock rifles?

First of all, the renewal of weapons requires a large amount of capital investment.

The second is the production price of new weapons, which is even more expensive. For the same rifle, the flintlock rifle is several times cheaper than a semi-automatic rifle. At present, the price of a flintlock rifle is about 50,000 Bailey on the black market in the West Sea, while the price of a semi-automatic rifle is about 400,000 Bailey. And an ordinary human slave of a great route is only this price, even lower. It can be said that the gun is more expensive than a human!

Finally, there is a semi-automatic rifle. The ammunition loss of the automatic rifle is much greater than that of the flintlock rifle. The flintlock rifle can fire ammunition for half a day. The semi-automatic rifle, and the automatic rifle will be gone in one round.

In short, one word, money!

On the one hand, on the other hand, this world is a world of monsters with many monsters. The devil fruits, physical skills, and domineering existence make the power of guns far less powerful than imagined. Its main function is to consume, restrain, and suppress civilians.

In a truly top war, ordinary soldiers are just playing soybean characters. As long as the other party has a domineering awakened person and a look comes over, no matter how many ordinary people are, they will lie down. Even if there is no domineering awakened person, as long as they have physical skills and domineering, they don’t need to be strong, the Navy headquarters’ school-level officer can deal with hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

Is it useful to waste money and give ordinary soldiers well-equipped weapons?

Of course, if these soldiers all have armed and domineering spirits and can wrap the armed and domineering spirits around the bullets, that would be another situation.

But this is obviously unrealistic.

The above two points are the reasons for the deformed development of weapons in this world.

There are all high-end, laser weapons and robots, and low-end ones, and a large number of navy are still using flintlock rifles.

What are the needs of the world government and navy based on the environment and actual needs?

What they need is high-end weapons that can deal with the Four Emperors. As for civilians, do you need to care? Using a flintlock rifle is enough!

The flintlock can't solve it? Then send the major general and the lieutenant general to take action!

If even major generals or lieutenant generals cannot solve the problem, can the semi-automatic rifle and automatic rifle be solved? Obviously not!

Human sea tactics?

Think about Clike, a large fleet of 50 ships, who was cut by Hawkeye and fled in panic!

Isn’t Liszt’s efforts to promote the renewal of weapons?

Actually, it’s not. Just now, I looked at the issue of weapon renewal from the perspective of the world government and the navy.

From Liszt's perspective?

Liszt promoted the renewal of weapons mainly to sell money. His customers were various kingdoms, and in those countries, the main theme of war was the war of ordinary people. Since it was a war of ordinary people, more advanced firearms obviously have more advantages!

Moreover, are guns really low-end? Doesn’t they work in high-end battlefields?

That's not the case.

Can the same gun be in the hands of Ben Beckman and in the hands of an ordinary person have the same deterrence?

Ordinary people hold guns, and Porusalino won't even look at them. Ben Beckman holds guns, and he has to raise his hands.

If guns are really useless to the strong, then good gun players such as Jesus Bu, Ben Beckman, Yizang, Van Oka will not appear.

You should know that the firearms they are using now are black gunpowder and round lead bullets. After testing by the research and development team of Osborne Weapons, most of the flintlocks in the world have a velocity of about 270m/s. After a specially modified flintlock, they can reach about 310m/s. They are not as good as powerful crossbows and properly trained physical skills. The Navy Head Office officers can cut bullets with a knife, which shows how low their power is.

Liszt proposed the topic of sniper rifle separately, just to see what power the top sniper, combined with the double-fire speed, faster and more accurate sniper rifle, and the armor-breaking bullet wrapped around the armoured domineering armor-piercing bomb will have?

Bang!

Liszt looked at the human-shaped target in the distance and fell to the ground, while his domineering attitude could only catch bullets passing by like lightning.

Because the flintlock rifle has a low firing rate, the strong man who awakens the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing can make predictions about the bullets and effectively avoid them. Even if you can see the trajectory of the bullets, you can avoid them in a flash.

However, the bullet-firing rate of this sniper rifle specially made by the R&D team of Osborne Weapon Company is three times that of the flintlock rifle, reaching about 980m/s. Some people may think, isn't it just three times the rate of fire? What's the big deal?

It is wrong to think so. You must know that relying on the domineering aura of seeing and hearing, the danger is approaching, and the body reacts, there is a reaction time.

Three times the rate of fire means a shorter reaction time, and the level of danger has suddenly increased.

Van Oka, a sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates in the future, is known as the "Yinyue", because the bullet speed of his gun has exceeded the speed of sound. He tried to shoot the soldiers' barrels at them in an instant when shooting in the underwater prison, which means that their bullets were hit by Van Oka's bullets before they were released.

Of course, for ordinary people, whether it is flintlock rifle or sniper rifle, it is almost the same, but in the duel of the strong, even a microsecond reaction time will be a difference between life and death.

After watching the tester test, Liszt tried it himself, and overall he was quite satisfied. However, whether a gun is good or not depends on whether it is practical or not. Especially good snipers like to debug their own guns.

After all, Liszt is not a master of gun use, so he can't tell why.

There was a good gunman in the territory. Liszt simply called Dadi and asked him to test the gun and cooperate with the work of the R&D team.

As the chief combat instructor of the Earl of Arkham's guard department, Dadi was naturally the first person to come into contact with the new rifle.

Compared to Liszt, he is more aware of the impact of the new rifle.

An ordinary person, with a new rifle, and after a little training, he can better be used to deal with seven or eight soldiers with flintlock rifles. First of all, the range of both sides is not at the same level. Those who take a new rifle can shoot at about two hundred meters. Those who take a flintlock rifle can get at least about one hundred meters, and the aiming is not necessarily accurate.

Take the Pirates Alliance's attack on Hong Kong as an example. Those pirates were stunned by the new rifle. Before they could close forces, the pirates were injured.

Even Dadi thought of a new tactic. No one had to shoot from row to row like a flintlock. After the range was dominant, he could set up several defense lines. As soon as the front was called, he immediately retreated and fired at the back. In that way, the enemy could destroy the opponent without even touching it.

Dadi now replaced his flintlock rifle with a fully automatic rifle, but after taking the sniper rifle, Dadi felt that this was the gun he wanted.

Leaving Dadi and the R&D group to discuss how to improve it, Liszt looked at the new artillery developed by Osborne Weapons.

In some ways, artillery is an amplified musket, and their principles are similar. After the flintlock rifle was replaced, the R&D team turned their attention to artillery.

The researchers designed a new shell, not a circular shell, but a new form of cylindrical bullet similar to amplified one.

If the shells change, the artillery will naturally have to change accordingly.

What will be the effect of using cannons to fire?

A longer range, faster firing rate, and greater power!

Beneath the whistling shells is the category of truth.

The achievements and progress made by Osborne Weapon Company surprised Liszt. Was it unexpected? It is not surprising.

These studies have not appeared before, and no one mentioned them or demanded them, not that they have no foundation.

Like semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles, what has appeared is just a deformed round lead bullet.

Now Liszt provides everyone with a research direction. If you gather the strength of everyone, you will naturally achieve results soon.

You know, this is a world where even biological and chemical weapons, laser weapons, and genetic weapons have come out.

There are also super scientists like Baiga Punk who are leading the world for 500 years.

Liszt just took the stagnant gunpowder weapon one step forward with his own insight, and there was no need to make a fuss.

...

After a lot of twists and turns, Bucky finally returned to Qinghai from Baihai.

"If you want to rescue Mochi, Kabaji and the others, the only one I know is looking for him, but what should I say? If you ask him to save someone, you have to owe a favor!"

Suddenly, Bucky's eyes lit up and he said, "Gold, no one will ignore those gold, right?"

...

Shambodi Islands.

In the hotel.

Ace held the back of his head with his hands and leaned against the chair, as if thinking, with bandages wrapped around him. At his feet, Kodaz curled up his huge body and was snoring very comfortably.

"Ace, it's time to have a meal!" Dius walked in and said.

When Kodaz heard about eating, he raised his ears and woke up from his sleep, but Ace said, "You eat first!"

Dius was surprised. When Ace mentioned food in the past, he said, "Why are you still struggling with the fact that he was defeated?"

In Ace's eyes, the dark color was like a deep sea abyss. He said: "When the woman drew her sword, I felt death. I always thought that I was not afraid of death, but for a moment, I was shaken."

Dius sat down, looked at Ace and said, "It's normal to be afraid of death!"

"No, what I thought at that time was that if I die, you will die because of me, right? I'm not strong enough!" said Ace.

Dius smiled and said, "This is not the Ace I know. Show your fighting spirit. Next, we will move towards the new world."
