Then he led Marceau to another room, which was significantly larger than the one used for testing, but it was more crowded, and if anything, it was because of the various guns hanging in this room, even on the walls.

"This thing really made me embarrassed for a while when you first sent it, because according to what you said, this thing is obviously a powerful weapon that can be attacked from a distance, but I don't feel a trace of magic at all, and after dismantling it, it is just a pile of ordinary scrap metal, so at first I thought you were teasing me. As he spoke, he picked up a carbine and said with a wry smile, "And the most important thing is that just dismantling this thing completely has already wasted a lot of effort on my part, but who knows that it will be really difficult to put this thing back, and if you didn't send a second one soon, I really don't know what to do." ”

"Is it clear now?"

"I get it. As he spoke, he put down the carbine in his hand and picked up one of the bullets that was lying vertically next to him, "That one was the main generator, and this is the core of this weapon's power." ”

"What about the structure? So is the structure clear?"

"The structure? Its structure is also very simple, mainly copper pills, copper shells, and the powder called gunpowder made by the guy named Esonia, but compared to the imitation made by that guy, the gunpowder in it is obviously a grade higher than his. ”

"So, can we make a replica of this weapon?" Speaking of this, there was a look of fanaticism in his eyes, if the Assas Empire could really master this kind of weapon that even ordinary people could use and had good power, the empire would have the opportunity to cover the mouth of the Senate and then take the opportunity to cancel the current conscription system in one fell swoop, so as to dismiss all the existing mercenaries with extremely poor discipline and disappointing combat effectiveness, so that a group of professional soldiers who were mainly nationals could be recruited mainly for the war, thus greatly improving the military strength of the empire。

At that time, with a mature army, coupled with the empire's strong experienced sphere of influence, it has every chance to become the second most powerful empire of the human race, and even, maybe, it may have the possibility of challenging China.

"Yes, but no. Facing the enthusiastic Marceau, Na Aoqi shook his head helplessly and said.

"What do you mean?"

"Manufacturing, yes, batch, no. As he spoke, he pinched the two parts of the bullet in both hands and gently broke it, broke it in half, and then poured the gunpowder inside into his hand and said, "As I said just now, this powder in this is not compared to Essonia's defective products, not to mention how to figure out what the ingredients in it are, even if you really figure it out, there is also an extremely important point is the proportion." ”

"Proportions. ”

"Yes, if you don't get the right mix of this powder, the power of the gunpowder you produce may be greatly reduced, and it may even explode when you use it. After saying that, he poured the gunpowder in his hand on the white paper on the table, wrapped it carefully, and then took the bullet case and said, "The second thing is this thing, it's easy to look at, but in fact, there is a big problem, that is, materials and manufacturing." ”

"As for the material, considering the alloy that Richmond told me, it is not completely impossible to analyze, but the real embarrassment is this copper bead and this small cylinder, the manufacture of this thing requires a high degree of craftsmanship, and the most difficult thing is this cylinder," he held up the shell case in his hand and looked at it under the lamp, and said with a sigh, "At least until now, I have not thought of a way to make such a thing by an ordinary blacksmith." ”

Listening to his words, Marceau's enthusiasm was obviously extinguished, but he still did not give up and asked, "What about this thing? This weapon called a gun, you can always just come out." ”

"I'd love to say what you want to hear, but try the opposite. He picked up the carbine in his hand, looked at its almost completely non-reflective body under the light, and nodded slightly, "This thing is made with the technology that the other side has matured, and I can't find any problem with its own structure and considering the needs of the war itself, and this is exactly the problem we have to face." ”

"The complete structure, the delicate craftsmanship and the completely unknown composition of the materials make it difficult for even an alchemist to barely satisfy imitation under these three conditions, and it will be difficult for ordinary craftsmen to make the same thing to achieve mass production. ”

"Is there really no way, master?" Marceau rubbed his frowning brows, and after listening to the words of the other party's competing authority, the little flame in his heart had already been poured into his heart, and now he just asked casually in a chatting tone.

"No, if you really expect to form a new army with this kind of weapon, the best way should be to form an alliance with the other side, and then procure weapons through trade, as for the things that are made yourself...... I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer. With that, he turned back to Marceau and began to carefully disassemble the carbine on the table as if it were a precious work of art.

"Is there an alliance? there is really only one way to do it now......" Marceau muttered softly, though she didn't want to, but it was a solution to the problem.

However, this is definitely not the way they want.

"By the way, you kid is not a diplomat, how can you have time to come to me at this time, don't you have to accompany that guy from other countries to mess around?" Och hung the gun back on the wall in his hand, and then picked up the blast shield next to him and carefully put it up.

", someone has to accompany us to pull the skin," Marceau walked to the table, picked up a teapot with tea on it and took two sips directly at the spout and said, "The Koncadas Empire is completely gone, the royal family is also dead, everyone is busy eating meat and grabbing soup, who wants to sit at the negotiating table, I guess the above has already thought of the rhetoric, the unconditional truce is estimated to be gone, as for the other conditions...... It depends on what China means. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect this China to be so powerful, I actually bit the watchdog of the Red Tiger Sect to death in one go, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, by the way, how much do you think the empire can eat this time?"

"I can't eat much, I believe I won't be able to eat much, in the end, this time only His Majesty is still expanding his territory, and the rest of the people are either thinking about their own territory, or thinking about how to take advantage of this crisis to make a fortune, and I heard that the Senate seems to have the possibility of impeaching His Majesty, which is really a bit ......"

"A group of short-sighted guys," Hearing this, even Na Aoqi, who didn't ask about politics, snorted coldly and said indignantly, the fall of the Koncadas Empire seems to be a disaster, but at the same time, it is also an unprecedented opportunity for the Assas Empire, although it has been controlling the economic lifeline of the entire continent, but the Assas Empire itself has its own shortcomings, that is, troops and resources.

The army of the Assas Empire was composed entirely of mercenaries and levies, the conscripts were peasants and refugees temporarily recruited from their territories by the lords of the empire during wartime, although they were numerous, but most of them lacked the correct training and weaponry, so it was difficult to use them as combat strength unless the tactics of crowding were used.

In terms of mercenaries, sometimes compared to the threat of other countries, this group of guys is the main problem of the empire, although there are some excellent talents among them who can be ten or even one to block hundred, but the lack of discipline and loyalty, so that even with strong strength, their existence is still a hidden danger that makes the Assas Empire feel like a man.

But in general, the above troubles can be solved through effective military reform.

But in comparison, it is the series of problems caused by resources that really make the empire feel difficult.

And the effects were unmistakable during and after the war.

"Forget it, don't mention these, it's all disgusting questions," Marceau waved his hand with a disgusted expression, and then changed the topic and said: "But I also heard that there seems to be a intention of finding a man for Ying Ying on the Qin side recently." ”

"What's the matter, I'm excited? But if you go to your grade, someone will throw you out. ”

"Damn, what's my business, I mean, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"I—what can I think?" Och looked up and asked with a strange expression, "I'm the same age as her grandmother, do you think I have any ideas, what do you think I should think?"

Yes, despite looking athletic, the real age of Naoch, who should be in the prime of life, should have reached a rather terrifying number.

"I'm not talking about you, Halo! I'm talking about whether you have any disciples to fight for? After all, you are also the industry's leading alchemy master, and there should be nothing impossible with you as your hole card. ”

"If you say that, the Richmond kid should be fine, but the kid is starting to disobey me a little now. ”

"What, you said that foolish prince, he didn't listen to you at first, you're kidding. ”

"I'm hoping it's a joke. Na Och patted his forehead with the back of his hand full of gun oil, and suddenly remembered that the talented and honest and obedient Richmond was not only a little sad, "Obviously he is a good material, but now he suddenly says that he wants to be an emperor, and he doesn't want to think about the material he is......?"

"Eh, what are you doing, cry somewhere else, don't disgust me here!"

"What are you crying about, I feel like a bit of a waste, who knows what kind of way that kid has suddenly changed his character. "But it's nothing, it's better to say that way, after all, the environment in which he grew up has already been decided, I understand, and I will tell his father about it in the right way, but I can't guarantee the final decision." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just talking about it, and you just treat it as a casual message, forget it, forget it. "See yourself put. The topic seemed to lead to something strange, and Marceau waved his hand a little embarrassed, "Ah, it's been so long, it seems that it's time for me to leave." ”

"What's wrong, do you have a job again?"

"Although there is no news about the official work, I am afraid that a small rush is indispensable, what reconstruction, and the goods for raising food are all pushed to me, I am obviously an official in charge of foreign affairs, right? ”

"That's because your family is close to Mandas's family, and in this difficult situation, there are really not many people that Mandas can rely on. ”

"That's true," Marceau walked to the door, and didn't care about the fact that the other party was not ready to send him off at all, but just opened the door, and as soon as he stepped out, he suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked, "By the way, you know about the election of the new pope." ”

"You know, I have an invitation to be invited. ”

"Go?"

"Yes, after all, the old Pope and I have a good relationship, I always think I should go and take a look, don't worry, if I go, I will get in touch with you in advance, after all, I don't want to spend money on this kind of thing. ”

"That's right......" Marceau shook his head with a wry smile, and when the door was about to close completely, his voice came from outside the door again, "By the way, master, as for your financial question, I'm afraid it will go down......"

"How much?"

"Half of it......"

"What! You kid stop me! What does half mean, you tell me that you don't have enough funds, what can you do, what can you run, stop me! Let's make it clear......"
