Chapter 471 Seven steps away, accurate and fast

"The Golden Nightmare, his favorite work."

Juan, who was holding the gun between his legs, looked particularly pious. When he handed it to Elvis, he pointed at the metal target in the distance and told him a secret that he would not pass on.

"There is a saying in Cathay that says: "One inch is long, one inch is strong, one inch is short, one inch is dangerous." It is a saying that summarizes the laws of weapons.

Elvis played with the revolver in Yidong's leg and found out whether it was indeed a good gun. Hearing Juan's words, he nodded in agreement.

"But that rule does not apply to guns. Seven steps away, the gun is fast; seven steps away, the gun is accurate and fast. In a duel, one attack can often determine the outcome, but I am

After finishing that bullet, there are five tricks."

"Isn't that some nonsense? Besides, the power of the musket isn't that amazing, right?"

"Haha, I tried to hit that target by mistake."

Juan didn't say much. He was very confident in his work, so he continued to study in that unrecognized path. He even taught himself metal magic. Although his attainments were not very high, it was enough for some transformations.

.

Elvis was a little confused. After all, his original idea was to find an ordnance officer. How could it end up in that situation?

But young people always like to try new things, imitating the posture of a human soldier holding a gun, with the legs and arms at the same level as the shoulders, and looking at the target through the crosshairs of the gun body with the right eye.

The target was a wooden dummy with a heavy metal shell, which was thirty meters away. After pulling the trigger, a bullet was fired from the barrel.

The dark golden bullet flew through the air with liquid red smoke and immediately hit the target dummy.

The bullet penetrated the outer metal shell, but it did not completely penetrate the dummy. Instead, it paused for about half a second, and suddenly more than ten sharp metal pillars as thick as a little finger erupted from the outside.

The metal pillar penetrated the hard shell and wooden stake without any obstruction. After three seconds, the originally hard solid state turned into a fluid state, flowing from the target body to the ground.

Elvis was a little dazed. I am sure that thing is a musket and not a magic launcher? Why has its physical form changed?

But Juan burst out laughing, as if he was very happy at the wrong scene. Who would have thought that after being penetrated by a bullet, the terrifying thing would not be a penetrating injury, but an explosion of metal from the outside.

"How come he has never heard of my stuff before?" Elvis was actually a little confused. He said that based on Caledo's situation, anything beneficial to the war would be sent to the front line.

The power of that thing, let alone hitting people, would probably kill even a rat-hunting troll with one shot. The hollow flesh and blood on the outside and the metallic liquid corroding the ground make it a rare weapon no matter how you think about it.

"The priesthood believes that equipment using high-level runes cannot be given to humans for use. Prince No has always been supporting his research, but after all, it is not the high priest's instruction. Even if he wants to send it to the front line, he can't

Please ask if someone can use it."

"And that thing is difficult to mass-produce. The bullet I just fired was made through a very complicated process. It is essentially incompatible with the characteristics of easy replacement and maintenance on the battlefield."

Juan made the mistake of not paying too much attention to that situation. The main purpose of doing research was whether it could satisfy curiosity and the second was whether it could replenish national strength. Since both the court and the church were pressing on this matter, he also spent a good time.

Time to research with peace of mind.

But that situation will change soon. Caledor now has two types of human soldiers.

One type is the Kislev mercenaries. Due to cost and certain political reasons, they only issue magic equipment to senior officers; the other type is the city defenders. Those who want any equipment can just issue a musket.

Can solve the problem.

But then the nature of the Knights of the Giant Viper will be somewhat different. The knights' followers are vassals in a certain sense, and they will definitely be vassalized to those knights for a long time.

In addition to the fact that the main combatants were all young people with relatively active minds, and the action was taking place in the old world, Juan did not think that the church could take care of them even though they were so far away.

"That thing of mine..."

Elvis touched the leg gun and felt something was unexpected. The crooked-looking Vaal priest was much more useful than he imagined.

"That's wrong. The prince gave him an order before, but he seems to have forgotten to take it away. Can I please take a look?"

In order to prove the reliability of magic thermal weapons, Juan decided to do something hard. He walked into a sealed wooden box and lifted up a particularly huge weapon with his legs.

Six thigh-thick gun barrels are tightly pieced together and are nearly three meters long. There is a metal crank on the side, and it is equipped with a drum as big as a millstone. If the engineering masters of Torrent Pass see it, they will be scolded for plagiarism.

That thing is clearly a crank machine gun.

To say that the gun is a bit too conservative, even if the Val priest is strong and strong, he still needs his legs to pick it up. He breathed heavily and said,

"There is a tripod behind me. Get it quickly."

Elvis glanced behind him. The bracket made of solid steel plates was thick enough for a man. It would take several people to lift it up.

Then use all your strength to help Juan install the crank cannon.

After an operation, I asked,

"How could the prince be so interested in that thing? Even two rounds would be better than one attack from the Valiant Spear?"

"I think that thing is better than a magical weapon, but that's a mistake in my understanding. In a sense, that thing is more powerful than a magical weapon. Anyone who is stronger can use it.

." Juan paused for a while, obviously hesitating about something, but thinking that the guy next to him probably couldn't afford it, Tan Hong said,

"But if it's too expensive, if the whole thing is made of a special alloy, it can guarantee that the recoil force will not shock the cannon legs to death. It is very necessary to add stabilization runes, and if it can guarantee the accuracy, he specially entrusted the prince to get it

Horadric Malus, added to the precision enchantment. There is a rune, but it is a core secret that the church is studying. So I need to know. The cost of that thing can arm a thousand-man human army.

.”

"There are a lot of matching ammunition, most of which are normal solid artillery shells, but the customized production line does not cost a lot of money."

"Why deny solid cannonballs and not others?"

Relying on intuition, Elvis felt that Juan must be making more improvements on that thing. Although he had not studied the cannonballs in detail, he knew the difference between shells and shotgun shells.

Juan shrugged and waved his legs, "But why, I have no money. The prince said that the cost of that thing is too expensive and its practicality is very low. Because of the size and weight problems, it can be placed on a warship, and it can be used on the battlefield.

Pulled by a war horse, the maneuverability is too poor. The navy has also stopped expanding and cannot find an employer to support it."

Elvis crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then said, "Do you mind if he gives it a try?"

"Just play with it, that thing is just an experimental product now. The prince wants him to make a low-end version. There is a mortar that is being studied, but it has been shelved due to funding problems."

Picking up two wooden boxes and stacking them together, Elvis stood behind the crank cannon and began to rotate the launcher east of Juan's instructions, aiming for the soil layer a little further away.

A unique roar of gunpowder appeared from the muzzle, and his legs pressed tightly against the metal crank. Amidst bursts of mud and gravel flying, the basement room was filled with dust.

A round of six shells was completely fired. It's good that there is a special spell here to stabilize the soil, otherwise the six shells alone would cause a landslide.

That round of shooting made Elvis feel a little excited, and he suddenly realized that the Dragon Claw Ballista he had been operating before was really not that interesting. Who can refuse a weapon of destruction that can make a violent roar and then watch the enemy turn into a ball of minced meat?

No.

In the dusty environment, I suddenly asked Juan,

"How many shells can that thing fire continuously?"

"Let's see how many drums there are. When he was designing, he went to Val's Anvil and used the technology of forging dragon armor to make the barrel. Relying on the condensate obtained from the Red Tower of Hoss, he made

We have developed a water-cooling system that can cool the drum when changing it. Theoretically speaking, the probability of being unable to shoot due to heat is almost zero."

"Elvis voted for my project, and that crank cannon will be called Sotek's Fury from now on!"
