Chapter 1044: Where Firearms Come In
It is theoretically possible to use the gunpowder guns in the world of science and technology to deal with these "magic resistance" star-filled desolate beasts in the Great Desolation Realm. Of course, the power of guns is not infinite, especially this kind of firearms that use gunpowder to burst bullets, no matter how they are improved, there is a limit. In other words, even with guns, it is impossible for the people of the Great Desolation Realm to truly sweep the Great Desolation Realm.
On the other hand, regarding Ye Zan's concerns about the development of guns, there is actually nothing to worry about until now. It's not that there is no need to worry, but that there is no need to worry. After all, he has already demonstrated weapons such as guns at Yu Qingzong's side. Even though those firearms are still related to magical weapons, they are not something that ordinary people can own, but who knows what will happen in the future.
From Ye Zan's point of view, maybe he can use such a reason to convince himself that firearms are not handed over to ordinary people by himself, and how to develop in the future is none of his business. Similarly, the firearms he launched on the side of the Great Wilderness Realm are also used by the people of the Great Wilderness Realm to fight wild beasts. As for what other things those people will use them for, what does it have 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 guns appear in this world, they will definitely be rejected by the will of heaven. If you think about it from a positive perspective, the mortals who were originally like ants in the eyes of ascetics, to a certain extent, use guns to improve their status, maybe it is what the will of heaven wants to see.
"Fellow Daoist said that there is something more powerful than this Magical Artifact. Did you mean that it also does not use magic power to increase its power?" Dao Yuan Supreme asked Ye Zan curiously and excitedly. He may be said to be the Supreme Divine Machine, after all, he is a great power in the Heaven-reaching Realm, not only because of his profound cultivation, but also because his vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Therefore, seeing Ye Zan's pistol exert such great power without requiring mana, he immediately thought of the situation in the Great Desolation Territory.
In fact, in this great wilderness, it is not those wild beasts at the peak of strength that really pose a huge threat to the human race. After all, those desolate beasts of the heavenly level are not so numerous that they can be found everywhere on the one hand, and on the other hand, they don't think much of the flesh of the human race. What really threatens the human race and makes it so difficult for the human race to survive are those desolate beasts in the middle of the entire pyramid.
Why do you say that?
Those desolate beasts of medium strength, although one-on-one could not be the opponent of Tongtian Supreme, but they couldn't stand the large number. And more importantly, because they all have extremely high "magic resistance", it is impossible for Tongtian Supreme to destroy a large area with a single spell like dealing with other low-level opponents.
Therefore, if there is a group of wild beasts of medium strength, they attack a tribe that has the supreme master sitting in the sky. The Heaven-reaching Supreme was unable to kill those desolate beasts in large numbers for a while, and the result was that those desolate beasts would rush into the tribe and use those relatively weaker people below the Heaven-Ascension Realm as food. Maybe after a big battle, Tongtian Supreme himself is fine, but there are probably not many people left in the tribe.
In the final analysis, the reason for all this is that the human tribe does not have enough "physical attack" weapons to deal with those desolate beasts with extremely high "magic resistance".
That's right, the human tribe also has crossbows, but the limitations of crossbows are too great, even if they are used by ascetics. What's more, in order to deal with desolate beasts, even if a cultivator has the best crossbow bolts, the strength and effect will not be much stronger than ordinary people's crossbow bolts. Regardless of what kind of "Sun Shooting Crossbow" or "God Breaking Crossbow" you have, or an artifact with one arrow and one small star, you can only see the effect of "physical attack" on the desolate beast.
Of course, if it really is the divine crossbows in the legend, it may be because the mana is too powerful, powerful enough to offset the "magic resistance" of the desolate beast. But the problem is, that kind of divine crossbow is not a Chinese cabbage on the street, so anyone can get it?
"Oh, what the senior said is right, the weapon in my hand is not a magic weapon.
Nor does it require mana to cast its power. As for the weapons that are more powerful than this one, simply speaking, they are the enlarged version of this weapon, such as this..." Ye Zan put his hand away and put the pistol away, and then the Qiankun Ring shimmered. , a sniper rifle appeared in his hand.
"This weapon..." Dao Yuan Zhizun didn't know where this gun was in Ye Zan's heart, so he didn't rashly reach out to take a look at it, he just stood by and looked at it carefully. To be honest, it is also fortunate that what he practiced was the inheritance of the mechanism technique, and he could still see the traces of the mechanism technique from that weapon, but it is impossible to know more.
After all, besides being affected by the material and structure of the firearm itself, the real key to the power of this firearm lies in the propellant of the bullet. The propellant of the bullet is integrated with the bullet, hidden in the rear shell of the bullet, and the bullet is installed in the chamber of the gun. What can be seen just by looking at it with the eyes. In particular, due to concerns about etiquette, Dao Yuan Zhizun did not use his spiritual sense to carefully scan the internal structure of the firearm.
"This weapon, called the sniper rifle below, uses the same principle as the previous pistol, but the material and structure are different. The reason for the difference is that the bullets are more stable, and the second is to withstand more damage. The strong explosive force can concentrate the force on pushing the bullets to fire." Ye Zan did not hide anything, not only explained to the other party, but also handed over the sniper rifle in his hand.
Ye Zan knew that Daoyuan Zhizun should be able to see something during the whole process of discovering the bullet when he used the pistol just now. Therefore, regarding bullets and the principle of bullet firing, he didn't need to explain in too much detail to the other party. This explanation was just to confirm the other party's guess.
Daoyuan Zhizun took the sniper rifle and knew Ye Zan's attitude, so he no longer had any scruples. He first reached out and touched the gun back and forth for a while, and then disassembled the sniper rifle into parts with a click. These parts were all hung in front of him with mana. He only held a magazine in his hand and took out a bullet from it.
The so-called mechanics are of course different from the machines in the technological world, but there are still many things in common between the two. Therefore, even though Dao Yuan Zhizun got the sniper rifle for the first time, it is not difficult to dismantle the gun based on his attainments in mechanics.
But having said that, these firearms in the technological world were originally designed with the issue of battlefield maintenance in mind, so the structure is easy to disassemble. For example, screws are rarely used on it, and the connections of large parts are all snaps. Even ordinary people can dismantle it by hand after learning, let alone a supreme master.
"If the old man sees it well, most of the power of this weapon called a sniper rifle should be on this little thing." Dao Yuan Zhizun held the finger-length pointed bullet and asked Ye Zan curiously. asked.
"Predecessors are right. I will call this thing a bullet. The structure of this bullet is not as simple as a crossbow bolt. Instead, a deflagration drug is placed in the metal shell behind. Therefore, when the firearm is fired At that time, the volume of the propellant expands instantaneously due to deflagration, which generates a thrust on the bullet in front, and shoots the bullet out like a bowstring." Ye Zan explained further, and unscrewed a bullet for the other party to see.
"This is really a fantastic idea!" After Dao Yuan Zhizun heard it, he recalled the scene when Ye Zan used the pistol before, and couldn't help admiring.
Speaking of which, although the secular world of this world is similar to the so-called ancient times of the technological world, gunpowder has not been researched like the ancient times of the technological world. This sounds a bit unbelievable. After all, there are more ascetics in this world. Those fake Taoist priests in the ancient Hua Kingdom in the scientific and technological world can make gunpowder. Why can’t these ascetics do it?
However, one thing to understand is that fake Taoist priests can produce gunpowder because they cannot find it because they seek Taoism, so they refine all kinds of strange pills in order to become Taoist. And in this world, there are various sects who want to practice Taoism. Alchemy is the business of alchemists, and there are alchemy recipes for alchemy. Who would use messy things to make alchemy.
In fact, there are many things in this world that are unexpected products. Someone wants to do something, but in the end something goes wrong in the process, maybe something will come out. If he does this without making any mistakes in the process, he will achieve his goal smoothly, and there will be no accidental products.
Therefore, although the secular world of this world is very similar to the ancient times of the ancient Huaguo, the world of science and technology, it is only superficially similar.
Ye Zan watched Dao Yuan Zhizun reassemble the sniper rifle, and threw the unscrewed bullet into the Qiankun ring, and asked, "Senior, what do you think of such a weapon?"
"If this kind of weapon is placed in other domains, people may not be very interested. But here, in the hands of the wild human race, it can become a sharp weapon against wild beasts. It's just... "Speaking of which, Dao Yuan Zhizun hesitated a little. After all, he is not sure what Ye Zan thinks. Maybe he just took it out for himself to see.
"Hehe, seniors don't need to worry too much. Since I have taken out this weapon and asked seniors for opinions, I have seen the significance of this weapon to the Great Wilderness. Although, I also know that this weapon can be used to the extreme. , it is also difficult to really help the human race sweep the wilderness, but at least it can give the fellows of the wilderness one more means to fight against wild beasts." Although Ye Zan did not directly say that he would sell guns, his meaning was almost the same.
When Dao Yuan Supreme heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked: "Could it be that fellow Daoist intends to..."
Ye Zan nodded bluntly, and said: "Yes, seniors have also seen it. This kind of weapon is not very difficult to manufacture, mainly because of the bullets. Therefore, I intend to sell this firearm together with the thousand miles of vividness. , I think there should still be some market.”
For Ye Zan, making firearms and bullets is easier than making thousands of miles of vividness, so production 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 for nothing.
"Fellow Daoist really have such an idea?" Dao Yuan Zhizun asked in surprise.
Originally, Daoyuan Supreme thought that Ye Zan would be reluctant. After all, ascetics often don't easily show their special methods to others, let alone show them to others. Of course, Ye Zan didn't want to give it to others, but sold it to others like a thousand miles away, but what's the difference, after all, it was in the hands of others.
"Senior has also seen it. It's not a big deal, especially for us cultivators. As the senior said before, if it is placed in an outer domain, no one will take it seriously. Only the Here, this thing is quite useful in dealing with desolate beasts, so why not be reluctant." Ye Zan explained with a smile.
"That would be great. I am a man of the wilderness. I don't expect to sweep the wilderness. I just want to be able to resist the threat of wild beasts. This kind of weapon, fellow daoist, I just saw. There are not too high requirements for the user, even if it is in the hands of a person who only has a cultivation level of Qi Refining, it will not affect its power. This alone is enough to make me, a person in the wilderness, create more out of thin air. A lot of power, I am afraid that no one can refuse its benefits." Dao Yuan Zhizun was relieved, and talked about another benefit of firearms.
In normal times, not all of these people in the Great Desolation Territory can fight against the desolate beasts, only if they have a certain level of cultivation. Even those crossbow bolts used for "physical attack", even if they don't need spells to increase their power, in order to ensure sufficient "physical damage", not just anyone can fire the crossbow.
But a weapon like a gun is different. You don't need to spend any effort to wind it up. As long as you can withstand the recoil, you can use it to exert its due power. Most of the people in the Great Wilderness Realm are cultivators, and even at the lowest level of Qi Refining Realm, at least their physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people. Those in the Qi Refining Realm may not have the strength to use large crossbows, but it should be no problem to use firearms.
Therefore, if Ye Zan promotes firearms in the Great Desolation Territory, it will allow those who could not go to the "battlefield" to have the ability to go to the "battlefield" to fight wild beasts. They don't need to go up and fight the wild beasts. They hide in the distance and fire their guns. They will not be in much danger, and they can also cause damage to the wild beasts. Isn't this equivalent to having a group of people.
"By the way, what Fellow Daoist said before, there is a more powerful weapon. Could it be this weapon called a sniper rifle?" Dao Yuan Supreme asked a little greedily.
