Chapter 832: Transformation of Gunpowder Firearms

In the technological world, gunpowder firearms have been replaced by energy weapons. Most of the gunpowder firearms exist in the hands of unrefined underground armed forces, and they are collected and played as toys. Compared with energy weapons, although gunpowder guns are not as powerful, as a toy, they are still more interesting than energy weapons.

With his own hands, he pressed the yellow bullets into the magazine with a "click", and then loaded the magazine into the gun with a "click". Pull the bolt, push the bullet into the magazine, and lightly pull the trigger with your fingers, the firing pin fires the primer of the bullet, and with a "roar", the bullet leaves the chamber with a solid recoil. It can be said that such a sense of participation cannot be experienced in energy weapons.

Whether it is playing games or toys, the most important thing is a sense of participation. Energy weapons, everything is fully automatic, just rely on people to press a firing button, and a beam of light will destroy the target. This is a weapon purely for killing or destroying the target. It’s like a set of jigsaw puzzles. Once you take apart the box, all the pieces will automatically fit together perfectly. Can this still be considered a toy?

In a game, even with cheats, people don't want cheats that do everything for them. Open the game every day, open the game plug-in, and then don’t have to manage anything by yourself, just watch the characters in it kill the Quartet, or upgrade their equipment and so on. In such a situation, there may be a sense of novelty in the first few days, but after a little longer, you really don’t participate at all, and you may even forget to start the game in the end.

The reason why Ye Zan collects so many gunpowder firearms is to use them as toys for fun. It's just that I didn't expect that these toys would play a big role in the face of endless resentful ghosts at the head of Naihe Bridge. However, such cases are extremely rare after all, and it still cannot change the toy status of gunpowder firearms. Especially at Ye Zan's current level, even energy weapons can't do much, let alone those gunpowder guns.

Lin Mumu was interested in those gunpowder guns because of his experience in the underworld, and had the opportunity to operate gunpowder guns by himself. As mentioned earlier, even though the power of gunpowder firearms is not very good, he is still very moved by the fun generated by the machinery and sense of participation.

However, even though Lin Mumu knew that the materials used in these gunpowder firearms were very common steel, which was not even considered a magic weapon. However, something made of ordinary iron does not have a trace of magic power, but it has the power comparable to that of a magic weapon. This value is somewhat unpredictable. Therefore, he was not sure how much this kind of thing called guns was worth in Ye Zan's heart, and whether it was suitable for him to ask for it.

Of course, Ye Zan still trusted Lin Mumu, knowing that he was just playing for fun, so he didn't hesitate to hand over the Barley sniper rifle to him. However, Ye Zan was more worried that the technology of firearms would spread to the secular world, so he finally emphasized to Lin Mumu not to lose this gun.

After all, Lin Mumu is also a great power of Yuanshen. Although he is a bit playful because of the way he cultivated, it doesn't mean that he will lose everything. So, after assuring Ye Zan,

Lin Mumu took the Barrett sniper rifle and ran away happily.

Watching Lin Mumu leave, Ye Zan didn't do other things immediately, but stood still and rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

For gunpowder firearms, Ye Zan has always regarded them as toys or collectibles, until the time at the bridgehead of Naihe in the underworld, he let these collections play a role in the use of weapons. But this time, Lin Mumu borrowed guns to play, which also reminded Ye Zan of that experience, and at the same time turned his attention to this backward gunpowder weapon.

In fact, gunpowder weapons are not useless, and power is not the only criterion for determining the effectiveness of weapons. After all, using the explosive power of gunpowder to shoot a warhead at a distant target, although it is not as powerful as flying swords and energy weapons, it also has advantages that flying swords and energy weapons cannot compare to.

Compared with flying swords, the advantage of gunpowder weapons is, of course, that they do not require mana. Especially in an environment where the use of mana is restricted and even flying swords cannot fly, if you want to have the ability to attack from a distance, you can only rely on bows and arrows or firearms. Compared with bows and arrows, this kind of gunpowder firearm obviously has a greater advantage in terms of power and range.

Compared with energy weapons, the advantage of gunpowder weapons is that they fire physical warheads. Regardless of the power, the physical warhead is not as good as the energy bomb, but the physical body means that there is something to do. Just like back then, at the Alchemy Conference, Yu Leyang used the musket he made, which was much less powerful than serious firearms. However, by combining the talisman with the warhead, he gave the musket some tactical functions, not just shooting.

Due to Yu Leyang's self-cultivation and vision, the use and transformation of muskets is still at a relatively early stage. Maybe, when he stepped into the Golden Core Realm, those methods that were originally in the Foundation Establishment Realm would no longer be as easy to use as they used to be, and would need to be upgraded again.

However, Ye Zan is already in the Primordial Spirit Realm after all. Not only has he reached a certain level in this world, but he also has the knowledge of the technological world as a backing. Therefore, if it is up to him to conduct research on the transformation of gunpowder weapons, I believe there are still many articles to be done.

Right now, waiting for Xie and Lin to complete their promotion to the Nascent Soul Realm, and waiting for Lanfeng Zhenjun and others to condense their own avenues, Ye Zan doesn't have much to do for a while. Use this time to study the transformation of gunpowder weapons and see how far the gunpowder weapons can be used. It is a good subject for Ye Zan.

Thinking of this, Ye Zan didn't waste any more time, and immediately turned to the nearby research center.

"The main lethality of this kind of primitive gunpowder firearms to the target lies in the trauma caused by the bullets entering the target's body. In the era of gunpowder firearms, people also made some articles on the bullets, but to come and go is to change the bullets. The shape of the bullet. The pointed bullet enhances the penetrating power, the flat-nosed bullet enhances the stopping power, the dum bullet produces greater cavity damage, and the tungsten core and depleted uranium bullet enhance the armor-piercing effect.”

Ye Zan came to the research center and called up the firearms information on the display. Although these things can be directly read into the memory area of ​​his brain through the auxiliary chip in his brain. However, when he was thinking, he was still used to showing it in front of his eyes.

On the display screen, various firearm structures, information on various warheads, and various scientific principles involved are displayed. On the other side of the screen, it shows the content of some talismans and refining runes in this world collected by Ye Zan.

"Gunpowder firearms, the main damage is done by the bullet, but the gunpowder in the bullet is also the key, which is related to the range and rate of fire of the bullet. In addition, the rifling in the gun chamber can help the bullet fly more stably, which also affects the range to a certain extent. "

These things, which may not seem obvious, are known to almost everyone in the tech world. But Ye Zan now wants to transform firearms, especially to combine things from this world, so many inconspicuous things must be considered.

For example, the surface of the bullet is engraved with runes, but when the bullet is discharged from the chamber, it rubs against the rifling in the barrel, which will definitely affect the runes. In addition, after the bullet hits the target, due to the strong impact force, the warhead will be deformed. The deformation of the bullet will affect the structure of the runes on the bullet, which may prevent the runes from functioning normally.

Why can Yu Leyang do it by casting talismans with muskets? It's not because he has any secret technique, but mainly because his musket is too powerful, and the force provided to the bullet is not enough to deform the bullet to the point where it will affect the normal function of the talisman.

However, the opponents Yu Leyang faced were only the disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you were only facing someone of that strength, in fact, simply using the real firearms in Ye Zan's hands would be enough, and there was no need for any talismans or the like. However, when Ye Zan wanted to modify his guns, he didn't target those who were in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The target had to be at least the same as him in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

What's more, if Ye Zan has been tossing around for a long time and just came up with something that can deal with opponents in the Yuanshen realm, it can also be said to be a waste of time. Even if he doesn't change anything, with his current strength, the ordinary Yuanshen realm may not be his opponent, so why waste that time.

You know, Ye Zan has a big heart. Since he intends to devote energy to it, he must set a higher goal, such as the Faxiang Realm.

Even if you don't expect to solve a Dharma Realm with one shot, if there are some things that can help you when Ye Zan fights against a powerful opponent in the Dharma Realm, then these things are valuable. Just like people in this world, whether it is refining weapons, practicing spells, or studying the art of controlling swords, the purpose is to enhance their own strength, so that they can fight against stronger ones.

Therefore, if Ye Zan wants to study and modify gunpowder firearms, it is impossible to simply make some talismans and the like, but to make gunpowder weapons really play a role in fighting the enemy. Then, what he has to do is not simply to add something to the warhead, but to conduct research on the principles of firearms, and even on basic materials.

For example, for firearms in the technological world, due to the explosive power of gunpowder, there are many considerations in terms of the material of the barrel. So now, Ye Zan has more materials to choose from in this world, can he find a more suitable material for the barrel?

You must know that the explosive power of gunpowder is related to the range and rate of fire of the bullet, but it cannot be increased without limit, otherwise the result will be a blast.

In the early days of firearms in the scientific and technological world, people had just invented and manufactured that kind of front-loading musket. If the later high-grade gunpowder was used directly, there would be no barrel that could withstand that explosive force. Even with the kind of primitive gunpowder used, muskets still have the risk of exploding. Maybe after the next shot is fired, the barrel in your hand will become a horn.

But Ye Zan now, in order to make gunpowder firearms more powerful, increase the range and rate of fire of bullets by increasing the explosive power is a problem that must be considered. Two primordial spirits fight against each other, your bullet is 0.01 second slower, maybe they will dodge it, no matter how mysterious the bullet is, it will be useless.

If you want to increase the explosive force, that is, the driving force of the bullet, the original barrel may not be able to withstand it, and you will face the danger of exploding like the original musket. Then, we can only find a way to increase the bearing capacity of the barrel from the material aspect, so that the barrel will not deform under stronger explosive force.

In terms of warheads, in the fight between ascetics, the original penetration and stopping power may not be the most important considerations. Maybe, you don't need to shoot the bullet into the opponent's body, or there is not much possibility of shooting it in, so you have to consider increasing the damage from other aspects. Or, if you just want the bullet to pierce the opponent, then facing the opponent's mana protection, or some other protective means, or even a steel-like body, the material of the bullet must also be reconsidered.

Regarding materials, whether it is a barrel, a warhead, or any other key components, a large number of experiments are required to find the desired result. Of course calculations can simulate some things, but after calculating a thousand kinds of results, they still have to be implemented in reality. It is impossible to calculate directly and then use them to make finished products.

So, for the next period of time, Ye Zan just spent time in the research center. Of course, he still went to accompany his daughter occasionally, but the main energy was spent on the modification and research of firearms. He used his own financial resources and the influence of Yu Qingzong to collect all kinds of metals from all over the realm. Based on a large number of metals, a large number of alloy ratio experiments are carried out to find suitable new alloy materials.

Of course, materials are only one aspect, and there is also technical research, and Ye Zan also did not fall behind. For example, how to apply some talismans and runes on the bullet, and what kind of spell is more suitable for this casting method. Also, how to ensure that the talisman runes on the bullets are not affected by other factors, and how to increase the power of the talisman runes, etc.

It can be said that the transformation of gunpowder firearms is definitely not as simple as imagined, and everything will be fine without changing some materials and making micro-carvings.

In this way, time passed day by day, first of all, at the medical center, Xie Wenxuan and Lin Huofeng finally succeeded in being promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, because Ye Zan performed an operation on their Nascent Soul, the temperament of the two of them still maintained their original appearance, and they did not return to their previous nature. Ye Zan took time out to conduct a final check on the two of them, and after confirming that their status had not changed, he asked them to return to the outer sect masters of Yuqingzong.

A few days later, Ye Zan sensed a change in the Immortal Palace, stopped his work again, and came to the void in the Immortal Palace.
