Chapter 1048: Not Afraid of "Cottage"
Sniper rifles, shotguns, automatic rifles, and even pistols, Daoyuanzhizun has personally experienced it, and has an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of each firearm. And when facing a Great Desolate Turtle with extremely strong physical defense, he even tested the power of the flat-firing cannon. Seeing the cannonball, which was as thick and long as an arm, whistling into the carapace of the Great Desolate Tyrant Turtle, blasting countless fragments as if blasting into a hill, he finally felt relieved about this weapon.
The most fundamental way to increase the power of this gunpowder projectile weapon is to use more propellant. The stronger the explosion produced by the propellant, the higher the requirements for the material of the gun, otherwise it may cause the chamber to explode. And no matter how the alloy materials in the high-tech world, even if they are strengthened by refining means, it is impossible to really have unlimited strength.
Therefore, in this case, similar to the development of firearms in the technological world, Ye Zan can only improve the bearing capacity of firearms by increasing the thickness of the pipe. This has also led to the fact that you can't use a pistol to replace all other types of firearms. After all, there will be differences in their power, and the gaps are huge.
The flat-firing gun is what Ye Zan told Dao Yuan Zhizun back then. It is a weapon that is more powerful than a sniper rifle. In fact, it can be regarded as an enlarged version of a firearm. In addition, in terms of shells, Ye Zan did not show Dao Yuan Zhizun the kind of conventional explosive shells, but used a solid bullet like a bullet, at most adding a core to improve armor-piercing performance.
Explosive cannonballs, although they can be completely technological creations, the impact force and other energy generated by the explosion can actually be counted as energy attacks. The "magic resistance" of the desolate beast, to put it bluntly, means that it has extremely high resistance to energy attacks, and it is not limited to the magic attacks of ascetics, but all energy-type attacks are included.
Therefore, purely in terms of dealing with desolate beasts, the kind of solid warhead that even the world of science and technology has eliminated early is the right choice here.
"Fellow Daoist Promise, I have seen so many weapons of Fellow Daoist, I really can only say that I am convinced! But, please forgive me for offending, the structure of these weapons, although the old man's design is extremely delicate, but it is really difficult to manufacture them. It's not very difficult. Don't get me wrong, fellow daoist, I don't mean to belittle you, but I'm just worried for fellow daoist, whether this weapon will be imitated by others." Daoyuan Zhizun considered his words and expressed his worries to Ye Zan .
Indeed, as Dao Yuan Zhizun said, the technology involved in the gun itself is not that complicated. Not to mention the great mechanical skills like Dao Yuan Zhizun, even some other ascetics with a little hands-on ability. After seeing the structure of the prototype of the gun, I am afraid that they are able to imitate the same thing. As for the propellant, Ye Zan used chemically synthesized gunpowder. Others may not be able to imitate it, but it is not completely irreplaceable.
This is not surprising. In fact, many things are like this. The key is not how high or difficult the technology is, but whether you can think of it.
In the tech world,
There are intellectual property protection laws, which protect some truly sophisticated things, but also protect some things that are just whimsical. But there is no such thing as intellectual property rights in this world. The only thing that can restrict other people's "copycats" is the barrier formed by high-end technology.
Therefore, Ye Zan took out these firearms and sold them to people in the Great Wilderness Realm. I am afraid that they will be imitated by others soon.
Don't talk about morality, there are no real saints in this world, not to mention the behavior of "imitation" in this world is not something to be ashamed of.
"Thank you for reminding me, senior!" Ye Zan first thanked Daoyuan Supreme, then said indifferently: "However, senior, don't worry, if someone really wants to imitate, let him just do it All right."
"But if that's the case, wouldn't the things you brought to Dahuang with good intentions, fellow Daoist, make those shameless people cheaper?" Dao Yuan Zhizun was still a little puzzled by Ye Zan's attitude.
Daoyuan Zhizun is the person who inherits the mechanism art. At the beginning, this was referring to his real body, Shenji Zhizun, but the distinction between the two was not so clear. The inheritance of mechanism art may be regarded as an inheritance that more directly faces the "copyright issue". After all, most of them are reflected in the production of mechanism puppets.
Making real objects is more likely to cause "copyright issues" because people have the opportunity to crack and imitate them after they get the real objects. As for the secret books of cultivation methods, although the principle is the same, they will only be classified as "stolen learning" in this world. Of course, "stolen learning" is a more serious problem than "imitation", and it is absolutely intolerable by all sects and sects.
In short, Daoyuan Zhizun is more sensitive than others on the issue of "cottage". In the mouths of the people around him, "copycat" may be a kind of skill, but he has become a "shameless person", which is a bit close to the habit of the technological world.
"Senior, how much do these weapons cost me?" Seeing Dao Yuan Supreme reminded himself so earnestly, Ye Zan certainly couldn't be ignorant of good and bad, so he patiently explained the reason to the other party.
Daoyuan Supreme thought for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "In terms of cost...Although the materials used in these weapons are all high-quality refining materials, they should not be very rare. If you look at it this way, the old man is bold Let me guess, the cost of these weapons may be equivalent to a low-grade magic weapon."
Dao Yuan Zhizun's guess was based on the low cost as much as possible, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't dare to lower the low-grade magic weapon. In his opinion, although the materials of these weapons belong to the category of "fan iron", they are made of a mixture of various metals after all, and their strength is no less than that of some refining materials. Moreover, Ye Zan also used some refining methods in these weapons. It can't be said that the bullets fired have no magical effects, and even low-grade magic weapons can't compare.
However, after hearing the other party's guess, Ye Zan shook his head with a smile, and did not continue to whet the other party's appetite, saying: "Senior, if you just talk about the cost, the cost of making such a weapon is actually not as good as the low-grade method. one-tenth of the instrument."
"This... But, the cost of such a thing is not just the material, isn't the energy spent refining it by fellow daoists count?" Dao Yuan Supreme asked back with a frown.
You know, refining a magic weapon, even if it's just the lowest grade magic weapon, even if it's just a magic weapon to fool people, it takes at least several days. Although, for a monk, a few days may not be long, but Ye Zan does not want to sell only one or two pieces, but to produce and sell them in large quantities. Even if it only takes one day to make one such weapon, it will take a hundred days to make a hundred of them, so what about a thousand or ten thousand?
"Haha, what energy can I spend on my next job? Could it be that the seniors have forgotten how to refine the Thousand Miles Lifelike God before I go down?" Ye Zan said with a smile, mentioning his own method of making the Thousand Miles Lifelike God.
Ye Zan has a production factory thousands of miles away on the war fortress, and he even took Dao Yuan Zhizun to visit it before. Daoyuan Zhizun was worried about the "supply" problem of Qianli Lianshen at the beginning, but when he saw the automated assembly line, his original worries disappeared in an instant.
But now, when Ye Zan mentioned Qianli Chuanshen, Dao Yuan Zhizun was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise: "Daoyou mean, these weapons can also be made like Qianli Chuanshen in the way of...flowing water come out?"
"Compared to Qianli vividness, the technical requirements of these firearms are much lower. Naturally, they can be manufactured in the same way. Seniors think, with this manufacturing method, who else can lower its cost? ?” Ye Zan said confidently.
This is the difference between industrial batch manufacturing and manual manufacturing. After all, people are not machines. Even if they do it all day long, their efficiency cannot be compared with machines. As for firearms, even though Ye Zan has added some means of refining, the manufacturing requirements are far inferior to those of Qianli, so naturally they can also be mass-produced industrially.
"Sigh, the old man is indeed worrying too much. If you look at it this way, even if someone imitates these weapons of fellow daoists, they are at most for their own use. If you want to manufacture a large number of them, it is simply not worth the candle to compete with fellow daoists for the market. Ah." Dao Yuan Supreme said suddenly.
After all, in this world, everything is still made by hand, and there is no such thing as an assembly line model of division of labor and cooperation. What's more, this also involves refining tools. People generally regard refining tools as something that can only be done by humans, and no one has thought of a way to replace them with machines.
"By the way, I can see from the map that there is a mine not far ahead, which happens to be mined to make these weapons. Maybe, when I and my seniors arrive at that tribe, I can already sell them a batch of such weapons. .” Ye Zan was not only discussing the itinerary with Dao Yuan Zhizun, but also to change the topic so that the other party would not feel embarrassed about this matter.
"Oh, are fellow daoists going to send the materials to the fortress?" Dao Yuan Supreme came back to his senses, and asked curiously again. After all, he hasn't known Ye Zan for long, and he doesn't know much about Ye Zan, so it's normal to be so curious.
Ye Zan shook his head, raised his hand to offer a sacrifice to the jade ball, and said, "In this magic weapon, there is something to make that kind of weapon, so there is no need to send the mined minerals to the fortress."
This time, Dao Yuan Zhizun didn't say anything, probably because he was a little hit by Ye Zan. His majestic Tongtian Supreme, the magic weapon of storage is just a Qiankun ring, at most he can use the magic power of Qiankun in his sleeve. But Ye Zan, don't look at the Yuanshen realm, there are more than one kind of magic weapon in his hand, besides the Qiankun ring, there is also a portable space, and then there is such a jade ball.
Of course, thinking of Ye Zan's war fortress in the sky of the Great Desolation Territory, Dao Yuan Zhizun became a little numb. There is really no comparison between people. Some people just have that lucky opportunity to get such and such things, and envy cannot be envied.
Next, Ye Zan and his party continued to move forward, and first came to the mine vein that Ye Zan had mentioned. Ye Zan directly cast a spell, extracted all the minerals in the vein, and sent them to the jade ball space to make guns. After that, everyone set off again, hunting all kinds of wild beasts along the way, collecting some minerals occasionally, and finally getting closer and closer to the first target tribe.
According to the routine of "no coincidence, no book", when Ye Zan and his party came to the target tribe, it would be best if the target tribe was being attacked by wild beasts, and they were almost desperate. After Ye Zan and others appeared, they were guns and cannons, and they also belonged to the Supreme Being, helping them to fight off the desolate beasts, and finally received the gratitude and warm reception of the tribe.
But the reality is that these tribes can survive in such an environment, regardless of other aspects, at least this settlement must be carefully selected. Although there is no settled place that can allow a tribe to live and survive forever, it is not easy to be discovered by wild beasts.
Therefore, when Ye Zan and his party came to this tribe, the tribe did not encounter any misfortune, and everything was as calm as usual. It wasn't until the figures of Ye Zan and others appeared outside the gate of the tribe and were discovered by the person in charge of security that the peace in the tribe was finally broken.
"Someone, not a desolate beast!" The guard in charge of guarding couldn't help exclaiming after confirming the identity of the figure in the distance.
"Is it really a human? I haven't seen an outsider for many years!" Another guard even rubbed his eyes vigorously, not because he was excited to see an outsider, but just a little surprised and unbelievable.
In the Great Wilderness Realm, without Ye Zan's "Sky Eye", almost everywhere in the wild is restricted by the human race. Although some experiences are useful, they are sometimes unreliable. After all, desolate beasts are unreasonable. That's why these tribes are isolated islands. Although they are all on a piece of land, they often have difficulty contacting each other for many years.
"I'm going to inform the Patriarch and the elders that you must not let them in without authorization before confirming their purpose." A man who was probably the captain of the guard turned to face the tribe after exhorting his subordinates. It went inside.
As the saying goes, "You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others." Who knows what these people of unknown origin want to do here. Don't think that if the living environment is difficult, everyone can be close to each other, otherwise, why would they be divided into so many tribes, scattered all over the realm.
On Ye Zan's side, he had actually thought of this situation a long time ago, so he didn't rush to approach the tribe, but stopped far away, waiting for the people in the tribe to come to ask.
Not long after, I saw more than a dozen figures flashing in the tribe, all of them raised their swords and bows and their faces were full of vigilance. They didn't even get too close to Ye Zan and his party. They stopped and quickly set up their positions at a distance where they could see each other's faces.
"Fellow Daoist, don't blame me, wait for the old man to negotiate with them first!" Dao Yuan Zhizun was afraid that Ye Zan would feel neglected, so he quickly apologized and took the initiative to undertake the work of negotiation.
"Seniors don't need to be like this. We can understand their actions. After all, it is necessary to be defensive." Ye Zan said indifferently.
