Chapter 1886 Door-to-Door Sales

Are official historical documents necessarily accurate?

The answer is: not necessarily.

As Fred Alexander said, historians may not necessarily compile history based on real events.

Beautification, exaggeration, overt praise and innuendo, inserting personal emotions and other means can all play a role in perfunctory colleagues and misleading future generations.

If Alexander had not issued the death order and engraved the facts on both sides of the tomb passage for future generations to view and reflect on, his dark history would have been buried forever like dust falling into the desert.

It was through my communication with Fred Alexander that I determined that historical documents were also suspected of covering up facts or exaggerating.

However, the Beastman King and the others did not know about this. I was worried about whether they would believe my words. I was even more worried about whether any of them were fanatical supporters of ancient documents.

If any of them are ardent adherents of ancient texts, something is not right.

You must know that supporters of Zephyr Continent and fans of Blue Planet are of the same type, while fanatical supporters are almost equivalent to crazy fans.

He is a terrifying existence who is willing to sacrifice his life for his beliefs.

Once you question their beliefs in front of them, you will inevitably face crazy revenge from their fanatical supporters.

Just when I was worried about this, Prime Minister Lesta said: "Well, what Prime Minister An Xiaoyi said doesn't make sense. After all, historical documents are written by humans, mixed with personal emotions, or Things like getting orders to tamper with certain facts happen from time to time, and they are unavoidable even now."

The old Duke nodded and said: "What you said, kid, is on point. The country of the Elf King that Xiao Yi mentioned was probably annexed by other more powerful countries before it survived the melee period. The annexed country The historical documents of the country are naturally determined by the monarch of the country that annexed it. I guess that monarch is probably a guy who hates the goblins. In order to completely destroy the country established by the goblins, he would even destroy them. Fortunately, the location of the tomb of the first Fairy King was very hidden and was not discovered, so it has been preserved to this day."

"The old Duke's conjecture is well-founded," Prime Minister Lesta complimented, "I admire it very much."

The old Duke laughed a few times, turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi, what do you think?"

"Your analysis is so flawless that I have nothing more to say."

The Orc King glanced at me, with deep contempt in his eyes. He sighed softly and said: "You two should stop complimenting the old Duke and talk about business. Xiaoyi, what do you think about the artillery?" Is it really necessary to spend a lot of material, financial and time research on something?”

"I think it's necessary." I suppressed my flattering smile and said seriously: "Maybe we won't use the artillery, or maybe for a long time in the future, the precision components of the artillery will not be of any use at all, but who knows? Can you guarantee that these precision components will be useless in the future?”

My eyes swept over the faces of the three people one by one, and I continued: "To say the least, even if the components are really useless, the efforts we put in to replicate the precision components will still be there!"

"You mean the machine that replicates components?" the Beastman King asked.

"Yes, that's it," I said, "Your Majesty, you must already know the power of gunpowder, right?"

The Beastman King nodded: "Cracking mountains and cracking rocks can cause damage to adventurers below level five."

"But it is too difficult to carry," Prime Minister Lesta reminded: "It can only be detonated at a fixed location."

"It's not that it can only be detonated at a fixed location, Mr. Prime Minister." I smiled slightly and said, "It can also be put into a special container for blasting, and it can even be detonated with certain objects to generate the explosive force. into propulsion”

"What you want to say is something like a firecracker," the old Duke asked.

"Your ideas are avant-garde!" I complimented: "Yes, it is a weapon similar to a firecracker, but it is not loaded with lead bullets, but something with such a large round head or a pointed head."

As I spoke, I gestured with my hands, trying to make the shape of a bullet.

"I know that kind of thing, it's like a revolver bullet," the old Duke looked at me and asked.

"So you know."

To be honest, I'm quite surprised.

Although revolvers are not rare, they are still extremely rare compared to muskets and crossbows.

Due to the limitations of technological level, the manufacturing process of the rather delicate-looking bullets for revolvers is quite troublesome, and its material selection is also very picky.

Revolver bullets are made of copper-zinc alloy, which has good ductility and moderate corrosion resistance, but its hardness is still more than one level weaker than fine iron.

It's okay to deal with non-adventurers, and it's also feasible to deal with low-level adventurers, but it's very difficult to use it to deal with adventurers above level five.

A concentrated level five adventurer can easily cut a single shot or several bullets evenly, and even avoid dozens of bullets fired at the same time - all of the above are ordinary bullets and do not include enchantments. Bullets later.

Furthermore, the manufacturing process of copper-zinc bullets is very troublesome, which also makes them expensive.

Except for some adventurers who regard conventional bullets as their religion, most adventurers will not choose this useless weapon that is expensive and has little practical use.

Having said this, some people may be dissatisfied. No matter how hard the copper-zinc bullet is, it will not be less hard than the lead bullet!

Here I want to say that the hardness of lead bullets is indeed not as hard as copper-zinc bullets, but it is cheap!

The price of a copper-zinc bullet is enough to be worth dozens of lead bullets. For this reason alone, the two are incomparable.

All in all, I say all this to prove that revolvers are not a common weapon and are not yet popular.

It is such an uncommon and unpopular weapon, but the old Duke actually heard about it, and also knew that its bullets were round-nose bullets, which really surprised me.

The old Duke looked at my face, smiled suddenly, and said, "Are you surprised? How did I know about such an uncommon weapon?"

I nodded and looked at the old Duke expectantly, waiting for him to help me answer my questions.

The old Duke did not whet my appetite and directly told me the reason: "Your fiancée named Kailan told me."

"Huh?" I was startled after hearing this: "What? Kailan went to your mansion?"

"Are you surprised?" The old Duke looked at me.

I looked confused and nodded.

"Actually, I'm quite surprised." The old Duke held his chin and said slowly: "Your fiancée actually dared to use your name to sell something called an equipment enhancement machine to my house. "
