Chapter 133
Tie Zhu and the two girls naturally didn't need to ask. After thinking about it, Lu Lin risked being scolded and went to find Sili again.
The answer I got was that I had never heard of it or seen it before.
Afterwards, Lu Lin even went to find the photography master Mo Po, wanting to know if she knew anything about firearms after traveling all over the country for so many years.
Mo Po was a little surprised that Lu Lin came to ask him about this matter, but he did not refuse. Instead, he took Lu Lin's gun and observed it carefully in his hand for a while.
After a long time, she said: "Don't tell me, I have seen similar things."
When Lu Lin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he asked: "Oh? So there are actually firearms in this world?"
"Of course there is, but it's very unpopular," Moper said. "The idea of using the propulsion of explosives to launch projectiles to make weapons has been popular among dwarf craftsmen for a while, but it was just a flash in the pan."
"The reason is that the upper limit of this thing is too low, the projectile is small, enchanting is difficult, the power is limited by the material, and the cost is high. The cost-effectiveness of it as a weapon in high-level battles is too low, and the effect is not obvious compared to the enchanted crossbow arrow. Advantage."
"Of course, if that's all it is, it won't make it extinct."
"The real problem is that its only advantage is that it's too invisible."
"It is small in size, has a low threshold, and the projectile speed is so fast that no matter what kind of cat or dog it is, it can pose a threat to the general city guard force. It is not easy to be found when it is carried on the body. It is very effective in disrupting public order. It can It is said to be a super weapon for robbing people of their homes and forcing them to resist law enforcement.”
"The upper limit is low, there is no future, it interferes with public security, the cost is high, and the production is complicated. Naturally, no force is willing to invest resources in researching this thing. It is difficult for this thing to be unpopular."
"To be honest, even though I have traveled all over the country for so many years, I have only seen such weapons a handful of times."
Lu Lin felt a little bit subtle when he listened to the other party's description.
In fact, Silly had never heard of this thing before, so he already knew that firearms should be quite unpopular in this world.
But he still didn't expect that the weapons of war in his world would be so acclimated here.
Just when Lu Lin was considering whether to give up researching firearms, Moepo said again: "But... I remember that there was a master who used firearms as weapons in the legend. That guy seemed to be an alchemist. It’s just that he has been dead for many years.”
"I remember the Philosopher's Stone he left behind...well, it should be No. 26, and its name seems to be, 'The Eternal Furnace Sun'."
Chapter 219 You can design it, but if the budget is too big, let Lan Jie find a way
When Lu Lin heard the name "The Scorching Sun in the Furnace That Will Never Go Out", Lu Lin's first reaction was that someone had rubbed out the atomic furnace.
If someone really reaches this stage, doesn't it mean that he might even be able to make a nuclear bomb?
This made Lu Lin immediately interested in this person, and he immediately wanted to find out more information about him.
At least he wanted to know the name so that Lu Lin could see if there was anything related to him in his alchemy formula.
But Mo Po seemed to only remember the existence of this person, and was not very clear about the details. He only said that since it was an alchemist's matter, Lu Lin should go back to the Black Demon School to find out if he had the chance.
As for now.
If he really wants to study firearms, it's not impossible.
He can go to Chengli to find out if there are magic mechanics, and then give them his needs. As for whether the function can be realized, it depends on them.
As long as you're willing to spend the money, you should still be able to make something good.
Lu Lin really didn't know that there was such a profession as "Magic Mechanic" before. After thanking Mo Po, Lu Lin took Li Mi to the street to inquire about it, and then he actually found it in a fixed commercial street on the other side of the city. Such a "magic machining shop".
I looked outside the store and saw that the most sold items were crystal lamps and magic furnaces, and there seemed to be magic bombs as well.
"It's not reliable, but it seems that the owner of this store is already the best in the city. I hope it works..." Lu Lin thought to himself and backed away from the store.
He doesn't expect the other party to make him an AK or automatic pistol. If he can make a revolver, he will be satisfied.
There are currently no other customers in the store. Behind the counter is a handsome man wearing a white gown, who seems to be a store clerk.
Lu Lin walked into the store, and the other party immediately greeted Lu Lin cordially: "Welcome, what do you need?"
"I need to customize a small item," Lu Lin said, "Can I meet your boss?"
"Of course," the man nodded, and then said hello twice inside.
Not long after, a dwarf wearing a mask and hood came out of the store.
Looking at each other, Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.
Because the other party looked exactly like the dwarf in Lu Lin's impression, with short height and thick limbs.
But the only difference from Lu Lin's stereotype is that this dwarf seems to have no beard, and most of his hair is collected in a hood. His clothes are not as rough as the dwarf Lu Lin imagined, but instead A bit like a refined uncle.
"What's the matter?" The dwarf's voice sounded a little hoarse because he was wearing a mask.
"This customer said he wanted to customize a small item," the handsome man pointed at Lu Lin.
"Oh? Custom orders, I haven't come across one in a few days," the dwarf looked at Lu Lin, "Alchemist? Your robe is quite fashionable, huh? What, do you need some special alchemical equipment?"
"No, it's not alchemical equipment, but... uh, do you have paper and pen? I'll talk to you while drawing," Lu Lin said.
"Well? Of course there are paper and pen, come in," the dwarf said, and invited Lu Lin to enter the workshop. After arranging Lu Lin and Li Mi to sit at a table that looked like a dining table, he brought Lu Lin paper and pen, and sat opposite Lu Lin.
Lu Lin thought about it and started to draw the blueprint of the revolver.
Of course, his research and knowledge of firearms were quite limited, so he could only draw a rough outline, and he had to talk while drawing. In addition to the most important overall goal, he also had to talk about the requirements of each component, such as rifling in the barrel, sights on the gun body, the cylinder should be aligned with the barrel, and it should rotate with the pull of the trigger.
Then he told him about the design of bullets, which is also divided into three parts: shell, warhead and primer. If possible, Lu Lin hoped that he could make a machine for him to make bullets, which would also facilitate his replenishment of ammunition and modification of warheads.
The dwarf craftsman looked very relaxed at first. It can be seen that he was very confident in his ability. He probably just thought that Lu Lin was going to make a gadget that an alchemist would need, and didn't take it too seriously.
But as Lu Lin drew more and more drawings, explained more and more detailed, and described his expectations for functions in more and more detail, his expression became more and more serious.
When Lu Lin finished talking about everything he thought of, the dwarf craftsman looked at the drawings on the table and was silent for several minutes.
Lu Lin thought that there was something wrong with his requirements, and just wanted to ask, but he saw the dwarf suddenly raised his head, let out a long breath, and murmured: "Alas, such a simple design, why didn't they think of it back then."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Lin asked in confusion.
"Nothing, I just didn't expect to receive a commission for firearms," said the dwarf craftsman, "and it's such an excellent design. If they had thought of using this revolving magazine and integrated ammunition, this thing wouldn't have almost become extinct."
"So, can you make this thing?" Lu Lin asked.
"Yes, but, brother, how much is your budget?" the dwarf craftsman asked, "A few dozen silver coins, or a few gold coins?"
"A few gold coins, or even a dozen gold coins?" Lu Lin said, "Of course, even if you budget a few dozen gold coins, as long as you can impress me, I can think of a way."
"That budget is really sufficient," the dwarf craftsman smiled, "but it shouldn't take that much, wait, I'll give you a few plans first..."
As he said that, the dwarf tool picked up a pen and paper and started writing and drawing.
At first, his drawings were very similar to Lu Lin's, but more detailed.
But when he finished drawing one, he pondered for a moment, picked up the second piece of paper and started drawing again, and the appearance of the guns in the picture began to change greatly.
It was bigger in size and had a longer barrel, but it added a lot of designs that were obviously not purely mechanical structures, including inscriptions, magic machinery, and even the design of the ammunition seemed to have been changed.
After finishing the painting, he began to modify the first one in reverse, and even began to put the two together and repaint them alternately.
The dwarf craftsman spent two or three hours on this painting.
A few guests came in the middle, but the dwarf craftsman ignored them and asked the handsome man in charge of reception to help deal with them.
Later, seeing that the two had been sitting for a long time, the handsome man brought them black tea and snacks.
Li Mi was about to fall asleep, but when he saw the snacks, he immediately became energetic.
However, this energy came and went quickly. After eating, he immediately fell asleep leaning on Lu Lin's shoulder.
Lu Lin was about to fall asleep, but Li Mi leaned over, feeling the contact between Li Mi's hair and his cheek, and smelling the faint fragrance on the hair, Lu Lin became energetic instead.
After another hour or two, the dwarf craftsman finally put down his pen and placed three drawings in front of Lulin.
The first drawing was not much different from Lulin's design, but it was more detailed and some structures were magically processed.
The second drawing had a strong magical mechanical style. Although it still had all the necessary parts, the added parts might be larger than the basic parts.
The third drawing was the strangest one.
Although there was a grip, the grip was tilted at a smaller angle, and there was no trigger or sight.
Rather than a gun, it was more like a magic staff.
Chapter 220 Do you like the fully automatic revolver with 12 rounds of ammunition and self-aiming?
"Among these three drawings, the first one is the cheapest. It basically adopts a mechanical structure, but I added a magic mechanical structure to reduce recoil and improve stability. I also added some wind attribute enchantments to the bullets. Combined with the rifling structure you mentioned, the bullet speed and accuracy should be much more stable than a pure mechanical structure. I will make this plan for you, Sanjin, but the ammunition maker needs to be designed separately."
The dwarf craftsman pushed the first drawing in front of Lu Lin.
"Well," Lu Lin nodded, "It sounds pretty good, but tell me about it first."
"This is natural," the dwarf craftsman said, and presented the second drawing. "This plan will be more expensive, costing eight gold coins, larger in size and larger in diameter. In addition, I changed the propulsion structure and the reaction force. It will be guided by magic and discharged to the surroundings through the surrounding magic structure. Although the caliber is large, the recoil may be smaller than the first option, and the bullet speed can be increased at the same time. I have added multiple layers of magic inscriptions on the gun body, which can improve all aspects. The speed, stability and power of the bullets are also made of relatively expensive materials. Although the size is increased, the weight is lighter, which is also my most recommended solution. "
"What about the last plan?" Lu Lin pointed at the drawing that he cared about most, which didn't even look like a gun.
"This plan is actually the best one I can come up with," the dwarf craftsman said. "It's also because your budget is high enough, so I designed it a little more ideally."
"I removed the trigger and sights, and I also modified the power of the ammunition."
"The acceleration of the bullet no longer relies on the explosion of gunpowder, but uses micro-explosion magic inscriptions engraved on the wheel behind the bullet nest, as well as acceleration inscriptions inside the entire barrel."
"Therefore, the design of ammunition does not require the primer powder and cartridge case you mentioned. As long as the caliber is appropriate, it doesn't matter whether you put the cone in or simply put the steel ball in."
"Based on this structure, the ammunition load can also be upgraded, and finer bullets can be used, and twelve bullets can be loaded at a time."
"As for excitation, magic power is used to excite it. Infusing a certain amount of magic power will activate the magical mechanical structure. Continuous infusion can directly perform continuous fire."
"Also because it uses magical energy instead of mechanical structure, it is also possible to add ballistic guidance inscriptions, which can allow the bullet to have a certain degree of target locking function, so the structure of the sight can also be removed directly."
Lu Lin's eyes widened as he listened to the dwarf craftsman's description.
In other words, this is a fully automatic, twelve-round ammunition capacity, ultra-low recoil, and self-aiming revolver?
Is this a mall prop from some kind of FPS game?
And there’s no need to make bullets, just plug the warheads into them?
"Isn't this too expensive?" Lu Lin said in shock, "How much does this plan cost?"
"This plan is not a matter of money. In fact, in terms of process difficulty, it is within my ability," the dwarf craftsman said. "The problem is the material. Some parts cannot be supported by ordinary materials, and the strength and magic adaptability are not enough." , if you want to really make this gun, you have to combine a small amount of legendary metals, such as orichalcum, mithril, etc., but these materials are all priceless, and I have no way to get them anyway... "
"Mithril?" Lu Lin was stunned, "How much do you want?"
"Huh? Do you have a way to do it?" The dwarf craftsman raised his eyebrows, "It will only be used on the inner layer of some key parts, so it is not too much. Considering the weight and ductility, the minimum requirement is, orichalcum needs to be at least One gram, if it is mithril, about one-tenth of a gram should be about the same. Of course, if it can be more, the performance will be better.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin suddenly became happy.
Isn't this a coincidence?
There happened to be about 0.3 grams of mithril on him.
Lu Lin directly took out the half of the mithril ring and handed it over, saying, "Do you think this is okay?"
The dwarf was stunned, took the ring and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately.
"Oh my God, you actually have it," he suddenly became excited. "Isn't this more than one-tenth of a gram? It has to be two or three-tenths. Do you plan to use all of it? It should be able to achieve quite perfect performance. ”
"Okay, then use them all," Lu Lin nodded.
Not to mention, he just doesn't know what to do with this thing. If this gun can really achieve the effect described by the dwarf craftsman, I am afraid it will be his main weapon for a long time in the future. Naturally, he will not be stingy with materials. .
but……
"Well, how much does the labor cost?" Lu Lin asked.
In fact, Lu Lin didn't have much cash on him.
A mission to collect magic stones wiped out his savings, and most of the money he had was sent back to Sili when she got the other half of the ring.
"I won't ask you for more, I'll just charge you twelve gold. After all, in the next half month, all my thoughts and world may be focused on this gun. Besides, except for the mithril part, the other materials are also of low quality. No," the dwarf craftsman said, "Besides, you'd better come here every day. After all, this is my first time doing this, so I'll inevitably have to modify the design and test it. Of course, don't worry, I promise to give you the best finished product."
Hearing what the dwarf craftsman said, Lu Lin looked at his money bag, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said, "Okay, wait for me first, I'll borrow some money when I go back."

————
Lu Lin has no money again.
He even owed Lan Jie two gold coins.
Even for the daily expenses for a period of time in the future, Lan Jie would have to help advance money.
This made Lu Lin feel a little sorry for Lan Jie. He had been following him since he came out of Diling Town. Not only had he not received any salary, but now he was still giving him some extra money.
Lu Lin secretly decided in his heart that when he becomes rich one day, he must give Lan Jie some bonus.
However, the money was well spent. Over the next week or so, Lu Lin went to the dwarf craftsman every day during the day, watching the parts of his dream gun being completed one by one, not to mention how much he looked forward to it. .
