Chapter 1170: Gunfight Magic
Regarding the guns in the technological world, Ye Zan has always had two concerns: one is that he is worried about affecting the development of civilization in the monastic world and leading the original monastic civilization to a strange path; the other is that he is worried about the killing caused by guns , will make oneself bear unbearable cause and effect.
After all, in terms of use, the use of firearms is quite simple, and there are almost no thresholds. Moreover, an ordinary person, the so-called "ordinary person", as long as he uses a powerful firearm, he can even kill the Jindan master among the ascetics, and he will pose a considerable threat to the Yuanying ancestor.
The power is not directly proportional to the difficulty of use! It can be said that Ye Zan's two concerns stemmed from this point.
In the world of cultivating Taoism, ascetics have always been aloft, and even treat ordinary people as ants.
So, do the ants have any counterattack ideas? I believe there should be some. However, if there is no other way out, more people who want to become "superior people" still have to take the road of cultivating Taoism.
However, when these mortals become cultivators, they will naturally have to protect the interests of the cultivators. This is "the ass decides the head". It's as if those who started the peasant uprising finally sat on the dragon chair, who would care about those civilians.
And once the "mortals" in the world of Taoism have guns that can fight against the monks, it means that there is another choice besides Taoism. When people know that this kind of thing is very useful and has the potential to continue to be developed, they will definitely invest energy in further development. In this way, there will be an extra fork in the cultivation of Taoism, and God knows what it will eventually develop into.
In addition, ordinary people have guns and the capital to fight against ascetics, so shouldn't it be time to rise up and resist? If ordinary people want to "counterattack", the ascetics will definitely not be happy, so they will naturally take action to suppress it! It was originally a hidden contradiction, because things like firearms are likely to intensify the contradiction, and it might turn into a drama of chaos.
Therefore, when Ye Zan was cultivating in the Dao world, he only asked the disciples of the sect to study firearms, and then used them to deal with wild beasts in the Great Wilderness Realm.
However, after consulting with Xuanyuan Daozu's clone, Ye Zan has a better understanding of the relationship between the world of science and technology and the world of the heavens. He also knew that although his previous concerns could not be said to be completely unfounded, they were indeed too serious as imagined.
You must know that most of the products of the technological world do not exist independently, but each thing represents a huge industrial chain. As far as the firearm is concerned, the gun body involves the metal smelting and forging industry, and the gunpowder of the bullet involves the chemical and chemical industry. At the same time, it also needs the theoretical support of many disciplines.
That is to say, even if Ye Zan took out his guns in the monastic world,
It is also difficult for people in the Taoist world to have the ability to "self-create". They need to develop knowledge of metallurgy, chemical engineering, physics and other disciplines to meet the various "pre-" needs of gun manufacturing, and then it is possible to actually manufacture guns and bullets by themselves. However, the time and energy required to invest in this is definitely not something that can be done by a few geniuses.
In particular, the development of scientific research talents and science and technology also requires a suitable social system.
The ancient Huaguo in the world of science and technology once said that "everything is low-grade, only reading is high", everyone is thinking about the imperial examination, and those who engage in research and invention have become "unique skills and obscene skills". As a result, under the strong ships and cannons of the Western powers, they had no choice but to open the country, leaving a very humiliating history.
Is it because the people of the ancient Hua Kingdom are not smart? Facts have proved that the ancient Chinese people are at least no worse than Westerners. The fundamental reason is that those who engage in "hard ships and cannons" in the West have become masters, while those in the East who engage in "uncanny skills and obscenities" have no fame or fortune.
As for the social system of the world of Taoism, it is now like the ancient Huaguo. Everyone is dedicated to being an official, and at most there is still a way to cultivate Taoism. Anyone who claims to have invented something will be said to be dishonest, or even cast aside. In such an environment, it is almost impossible to develop the pre-disciplines of "self-made" firearms.
Of course, ascetics can also make firearms by using the method of refining weapons. After all, the principle of firearms is not complicated. Using extraordinary power, they don't need to consider those pre-disciplines, almost everything can be solved through refining. However, a person with the ability to refine weapons must at least have the cultivation base of the Jindan realm. Which Jindan master is willing to make guns day and night? What's more, why do ascetics devote energy to the weapons that ordinary people can fight against ascetics.
Therefore, in the absence of a modern industrial foundation in the world of science and technology, even if the secular people in the monastic world get firearms, they will not develop the things that Ye Zan is worried about.
But now, Ye Zan is not in the world of cultivating Taoism, but in the world of Dawn, the colony of the extraterrestrial demons. The dawn world also does not have the conditions of the technological world, and it is also impossible to "self-create" firearms, so he doesn't have to worry about any troubles.
The rebels all over the world in the morning light, soon got the firearms supported by the church, and after getting familiar with how to use them, they finally lifted their spirits again. Originally, they didn't have much hope for the future in the face of the extraordinary people of the government army. However, after having guns and understanding the power of guns, those extraordinary people can no longer become their nightmares.
Of course, when it comes to the distribution of firearms, Ye Zan is not reckless. After all, those rebels are not just civilian rebels, but also noble forces who want to fish in troubled waters. Although, those aristocratic forces who are anti-government may have nothing to do with wizards. However, the slogan of the church inciting civilian uprisings is "beat the nobles and divide the land", so naturally you can't do things that slap yourself in the face.
On a battlefield in the world of Dawn, facing the besieging "peasant uprising army", a group of royal mages stood on the city wall. Under the city wall, patches of frost, patches of scorched earth, traces of magic bombardment everywhere. At the same time, a large number of poorly dressed corpses fell on the traces of the magic bombardment in different postures.
"The untouchables on the opposite side have not moved for more than ten days." A magician in black robe said, pointing to the distance with his wand. In the area he was referring to, it was a large and crude camp, which looked lifeless, as if it were a cemetery.
"Hehe, they attacked a few times before, but they couldn't even get close to the city wall. Anyone with a little brain knows that the siege is hopeless." A magician who was also wearing a black robe was quite proud. Said.
"Then they should retreat. It won't do them any good to wait here and spend it with us." A knight who looked like an iron can next to him held the helmet he took off in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead .
"Hehe, if they had that kind of brain, they wouldn't have rebelled! Thinking that with the secret support of the church, they can get up from the mud, it's just stupid and hopeless." The magician said with a sneer.
While several people were talking, the lifeless camp in the distance suddenly became noisy. Immediately afterwards, from the gates of the camps, those "untouchables" lined up in a loose line and drove towards the city again.
"It seems that the previous lessons are not enough!" Seeing this scene, the people on the city wall were not only not worried at all, but became excited.
After all, the previous few battles have proved that this is not a war, but a simple massacre. Those magicians can even experiment with the magic they developed on the battlefield, which is usually hard 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 storms not only returned without success, 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 thought it was another battle to the death.
Fortunately, when he was about to enter the magician's range, the commander sent an order to stop advancing. Although everyone was puzzled, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least this meant that they could live a little longer. As for what to do next, everyone didn't have any expectations, anyway, they had to either advance or retreat.
"Hey, they stopped, it's a bit far away!" The magicians who started to prepare their magic felt a little disappointed when they saw that the opposite side stopped outside the range.
The magic of a magician is actually not considered a long-range attack. It is not bad if it can blast tens of meters away. After all, their magic relies on "throwing", or a little impetus from the magic itself. In fact, if there are enough strong bows and crossbows, it can also suppress the magician to a certain extent.
"What are they trying to do? They're not here to surrender!" a magician joked.
"Surrender? This group of untouchables dare to shout the slogan 'beat the nobles and divide the land'. Even if they surrender, they will only die!" Another magician said bitterly.
However, when the people on the city wall were guessing the intentions of those untouchables, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" sound from the ranks outside the city. The people on the city wall were about to say what the voice was, but they saw blood spattered from the bodies of the companions on the left and right. Even, someone's head, like a smashed watermelon, burst instantly under an "invisible" force.
"What! What's the situation!" The lucky man shrank his body cleverly and asked eagerly while looking around.
"Ah! What! I was shot by something!" A magician clutched his chest, slumped on the ground without any image, and shouted in horror.
Of course, magicians have defensive magic, which can resist swords and some long-range attacks. However, in the previous battles, they did not find that the untouchables had powerful long-range attacks. And, this time, the untouchables stopped just that far away. Therefore, they did not prepare defensive magic in advance.
"Bang bang bang!" Another series of explosions came.
Following this series of explosions, the people on the city wall were like felled wheat, seeing another piece of it fall down.
Not only the people on the city wall were terrified, but the "peasant uprising army" was also in an uproar. Many people couldn't help turning their heads back, wanting to see what made the explosion behind them.
What it is? It looks like black iron pipes, as long as the places where those "elite soldiers" are holding have changed. Could it be that the explosion came from the black iron pipe? And those who fell on the city wall were scared to death by the sound of the black iron pipe? However, the sound is not so strong! We are so close, I don't think there is anything scary!
The black iron pipes in the hands of those "elite soldiers" were naturally the firearms provided by Ye Zan, which belonged to long-range rifles with sniper function. However, firstly, it was to avoid trouble, and secondly, it was also a matter of the production of firearms. It was impossible for Ye Zan to equip everyone with firearms. Therefore, he only provided those "peasant rebels" with enough firearms to form an elite squad.
After all, not everyone has the extraordinary power of the nobles, and they can only form small troops such as "Knights" and "Mages". Therefore, on the side of the "peasant uprising army", as long as there is enough power, it is enough to fight against the extraordinary power of the enemy, and it is not necessary for everyone to have a gun.
In this insurrectionary army, the church selected a group of people, trained them in the use of firearms, and sent them back to the army after they were issued with firearms. As a result, except for the high-level members 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 powerful attack caused inexplicable loss of most of the people on the city wall. However, the rebel army did not immediately attack the city, but continued to let the gunmen stare at the city wall. Whenever someone showed his head on the city wall, a few guns were pointed at the same time, and a few bullets were fired at the target in an instant. 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 wasn't until this time that the commander-in-chief of the rebel army gave the order to attack the city, and the "infantry" rushed towards the city wall with howls. After several rounds of strikes by the gunmen, seeing the magicians on the city wall being suppressed, these ordinary rebel soldiers have forgotten the horror brought about by magic before. They already had confidence that this time they might really be able to capture the city and put those noble gentlemen on the guillotine!
"Kill! Go! Fuck it!" The rebels howled and rushed to the bottom of the city wall, set up ladders and climbed towards the wall. At the same time, the gunmen in the back continued to stare at the city wall and the rising magicians, calling their names one by one.
