Chapter 549 The True Power of Rune Weapons

At almost noon, with the sun shining in the sky and scorching the earth, Lu Chen personally came to the military camp in the south of the city.

The soldiers in the military camp were all curious about what the emperor had come to do today, but in order to keep it secret, Lu Chen did not let these soldiers watch him test-fire the runic weapon.

Lu Chen asked all the soldiers in the military camp south of the city to stay in the military camp, leaving only the Jin Yiwei soldiers by his side.

In the dense jungle, Lu Chen released his spiritual power and sensed the situation in the entire forest. After confirming that no outsiders were present, he raised the rune-patterned musket in his hand and pointed it at a five-centimetre-thick steel plate in the distance. .

Lu Chen originally planned to start the test slowly from one centimeter upwards, but he thought that during the previous test shooting, it directly penetrated so much protective gear. It might not be too big to shoot through a steel plate of one or two centimeters. For the problem, just go directly to the intensity.

At this time, the Jin Yiwei soldiers and Mo Xing were staring closely at the rune-patterned musket in Lu Chen's hand. They also wanted to know whether this special rune-patterned weapon could penetrate a five-centimetre-thick steel plate.

Lu Chen did not pull the trigger immediately. He felt that the power of the rune weapon should be more powerful than he imagined.

Then he turned to the Jin Yiwei soldiers and said, "Go back another hundred meters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen changed his appearance and took the lead to retreat a hundred meters. Seeing that Lu Chen was retreating, the Jin Yiwei soldiers also quickly followed suit.

After Lu Chen felt that the distance was about the same, he input spiritual power into the gun. The next moment, the bursting runes on the gun emitted blue light.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen directly pulled the trigger. The moment he pulled the trigger, a huge recoil force came.

Lu Chen is now a pseudo-celestial being, not even an ordinary pseudo-celestial being. Being able to make people of his level feel the recoil, one can imagine how powerful this gun is.

The next moment, the bullet flew out of the muzzle, and the bullet began to absorb the weak spiritual energy around it. In an instant, the bullet collided with the five-centimetre-thick steel plate in the distance.

The moment the bullet collided with the steel plate, the characteristics of the explosive rune came into play. The bullet suddenly exploded, and a ball of blue light exploded.

The range of the blue light was not very large, but the steel plate was instantly blown to pieces.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. It was a five-centimetre-thick steel plate, and it was broken like this.

The power of this rune weapon is too great!

After Lu Chen came to his senses, he immediately said to the Jin Yiwei soldiers: "Add another steel plate, and the two steel plates overlap."

After hearing Lu Chen's order, the Jinyiwei soldiers recovered from their shock. They quickly took action and placed two more five-centimeter-thick steel plates in the distance.

After the soldier returned, Lu Chen was about to pull the trigger, but only then did he realize that cracks had appeared on the gun body.

this……

Lu Chen immediately understood what was going on. After inputting spiritual power, the pressure on the gun body was too great, and the material used to make the gun was not strong enough.

To manufacture rune weapons on a large scale, stronger materials are necessary, but the steel they currently use is already the strongest.

If you want to find other materials, you may have to wait until the level of technology improves.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't pull the trigger, Mo Xing looked at Lu Chen. Lu Chen thought of something at this time, and then asked: "Are the muskets we made at the beginning thickened due to material issues? The gun body?"

When the muskets were first made, the steel was not strong enough, so the craftsmen thickened the gun body and the parts inside the gun. The weight of the gun almost exceeded the weight of a small mortar.

Later, as the strength of the steel became higher and higher, the refined steel became more and more stable, and the gun body began to gradually become smaller.

After hearing Lu Chen's question, Mo Xing immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said: "After we go back, follow the previous method and make a batch of new muskets. Don't be afraid of the weight, as long as a fifth-level warrior can carry them."

Mo Xing immediately understood what Lu Chen meant, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen then picked up another musket, carved the explosion rune pattern, loaded the bullet, infused spiritual power, and pulled the trigger against two overlapping steel plates in the distance.

Gang...

As a huge gunshot sounded, the next moment, an explosion also came from the steel plate.

Gong...

The explosion was somewhat dull, unlike the explosion of a cannonball.

After the blue light of the explosion, the front steel plate was shattered, and the rear steel plate was also dented.

Lu Chen thought to himself that it seemed that the power was still limited. He thought that the second steel plate could be blasted through.

Just when Lu Chen was thinking this, the system beep sounded.

[The power of the bursting runes is not only related to the spiritual power instilled, but also related to the amount of gunpowder in the firearm. The bursting runes only play a supporting role. 】

Lu Chen was startled when he heard the system prompt. Does it have anything to do with the amount of gunpowder?

Wouldn't it be that if the explosive runes were carved on the artillery, the power would be even greater?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen was eager to give it a try.

However, considering that there are still many things that have not been dealt with in Daxia recently, if such a powerful weapon comes out, it is likely to have an impact on him, so he decided to wait until Daqian was destroyed before returning to add explosive runes to the cannon.

At this time, Lu Chen lowered his head and glanced at the musket in his hand. It was the same as the musket just now. It was just used once in the correct way, but cracks had already appeared on the gun body.

The material strength is not enough, so the gun body must be thickened. It seems that in the future, rune weapons can only be used by high-level warriors, and ordinary people cannot use rune weapons.

Come to think of it, to exert the true lethality of rune weapons, you have to infuse spiritual power, and the worst who can sense the release of true energy is a half-step master.

Rune weapons are really not something that ordinary soldiers can use, so it doesn’t matter if they are a little heavier. Of course, the penetration of rune bullets is also very good. Although ordinary soldiers cannot fully exert the power of rune weapons, the power of rune bullets and rune shells is also not small.

At this time, Lu Chen changed another musket and said to the Jinyiwei again: "Change another steel plate."

Hearing this, the Jinyiwei soldiers hurriedly changed the steel plate, and Lu Chen also took this time to load the rune bullet into an ordinary musket.

After the soldiers changed the steel plate, Lu Chen immediately pulled the trigger. With a gunshot, countless sparks burst out from the steel plate in the distance.

This time the bullet also shot through the steel plate, but after the bullet touched the steel plate, it melted directly, so only a small hole was left on the steel plate.

Without infusing spiritual power, the effect of the rune weapon will indeed be greatly reduced. You know, just now he only infused a little spiritual power, and the steel plate was directly blown to pieces.

Then Lu Chen tested the effect of infusing spiritual power on the power of the rune weapon. After his test, under the condition of sufficient spiritual power, the rune musket can completely blow up a ten-centimeter thick steel plate, which is comparable to modern armor-piercing bullets.

However, there is also a problem, that is, if the spiritual power infusion is increased, the musket is likely to explode. For safety, Lu Chen has no way to continue to increase the spiritual power input.

This also made Lu Chen realize how powerful the materials used to make the God-killing Gun are. The God-killing Gun can not only fully withstand his spiritual power input, but also absorb spiritual power crazily.

Lu Chen immediately decided to send people to Fengyin Island to find the materials used to make the Piercing Cloud Bow and Piercing Cloud Arrow.

These materials from other worlds must be no problem to use them to make rune weapons. (End of this chapter)
