Chapter 272: Gun Making (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
It wasn't until a few months later that Soram was out of the country, along with him with several finished barrels.
Those people who were waiting outside, and when they saw those few finished barrels, they also had to admire Solam. This kind of miniature carving technology is also a must in the mainland, especially Jacqueline, she never thought that Solam still had this ability.
In the Faeron Continent, not no one knows how to do the miniature carving technique, at least many dwarven masters have this kind of skill. However, with tens of thousands of miniature magic circles carved on the inside of a steel pipe, not many people can have this ability.
Jacqueline didn't ask why Soram did this, but the answer Soram gave was really speechless.
Talent! That's Solam's answer.
Others were quick to accept the answer, otherwise what else could they explain?
Then the next step is to verify the performance of this barrel, at the back of the barrel, Solam and they directly made a simple firing device for the barrel, which is used to fire bullets into the barrel.
Then use magic to activate the circle in the barrel of the gun to test the power of the circle. It should be said here that these barrels are made of steel, and the magic conductivity is very poor, to put it simply, it is like conductivity, the resistance is too large, and if you want to energize, you can only increase the current.
And the electricity required here is magic, anyway, with Solam's ability, it is impossible to activate the magic circle in the entire barrel, and in the end, Queen Hinbu volunteered, anyway, she is also very interested in this idea.
However, the first time she made a move, Queen Xinbu directly blew up a gun barrel, her magic power was too strong, and she didn't control the strength well, and those magic circles directly self-destructed when they exceeded the load, which also led to the destruction of the barrel that was finally completed.
The second shot, the barrel smoked directly, and the bullets didn't come out, and the barrel was finished.
It wasn't until the third time that Queen Xinbu controlled her strength, and this time the bullet was successfully fired, and the power was not small, almost piercing the steel plate 200 meters away.
This experiment shows that Solam's idea works, at least Mavis is very satisfied with it, and feels that her Ram is simply the best in the world, Jacqueline is also relieved, she didn't expect Soram's nonsense to really work.
But Soram was not satisfied, the steel plate was only about 1 centimeter thick, and the distance was only 200 meters, but just like that, the bullets failed to penetrate it, which shows that the power of this barrel is really not strong.
Even a bow and arrow can reach this power. And Solam spent so much effort, and mobilized so many people to help, and finally came up with this chicken rib, with so much effort, wouldn't it be more labor-saving to make a bow directly?
However, the others didn't pay much attention, as long as Solam's idea was proved to work, then the other problems could be improved slowly.
So a group of people began to revise the overall design of Solam, first of all, everyone set their sights on the magic circle, hoping to upgrade the magic circle to improve.
However, Jacqueline is worthy of being a master of alchemy, and the magic circle she designed is already very good in terms of performance, and can only be fine-tuned, although it has strengthened a little power, but the overall change is not too big. If you want to increase your power, you can only add new patterns, but this will increase the area of the entire circle.
The size of the current circle is already considered the limit, and adding a new magic pattern again will cause the complexity of the circle to increase by more than one level, which will bring great trouble to the portrayal of the circle.
The second option is to lengthen the barrel, so that the bullet can obtain greater magnetic blessing in the barrel, so that the ejection speed will be greatly increased.
However, this plan was rejected by Solam, after all, the barrel he designed was not short, he originally designed it according to the rifle, and according to the existing barrel performance, it is speculated that the barrel should be lengthened a little.
Solam made a rifle, not a knight's gun. If it's really that long, it will be very uncomfortable to use.
Therefore, the plan to modify the magic circle to increase its power has been put on hold.
In the end, Queen Xinbu came up with a plan, she felt that since there was not much room for improvement in the barrel, it was better to make a fuss about the excitation device, so that when the bullet entered the barrel, it would have a lot of potential energy, so that the problem could be solved perfectly.
This proposal was immediately supported by Solam, and a group of people began to modify the excitation device.
After almost half a month of re-revision, a new plan was finally come up, and the new plan was very simple, that is, to add a new magazine between the excitation device and the barrel, and the function of this magazine was to use the magic circle in the magazine to start rotating at high speed before the bullet entered the barrel.
The initiator has also been modified, this time Solam has abandoned the original design, changed the stimulator to a hammer type, and on the surface of the hammer contact bullet, Queen Hembo and Jacqueline have designed a new circle, this circle is a complex compound circle.
After the hammer is blessed with this circle, the moment the hammer hits the bullet, the circle will bring amazing kinetic energy to the bullet, and at the same time, it will instantly electrolyze the bullet.
Because it's a compound circle, this circle is complicated, but fortunately, it's a hammer blow, which is slightly easier than carving in the barrel.
Just like that, a group of people are not satisfied, they are even more frenzied to add many electromagnetic rings to the outside of the barrel, and each time the bullet passes through a ring, the bullet is added kinetic energy again.
After the test, Solam found that with the newly designed barrel, the range of the bullet was greatly increased, and the power of the bullet was even more breathtaking, and there was no pressure to shoot through the 10-centimeter-thick steel block at 3000 meters, and its bullet was directly burned into molten steel.
This power is a bit frustrating, but what is even more frustrating is its recoil, you must know that during the experiment, this experimental gun was fixed on a stone platform.
As a result, after a single bullet, the entire experimental gun exploded directly from the stone platform, and finally shattered its bones.
Soram felt that if he really used this gun to shoot, what would happen to the enemy, he didn't know, but he himself would definitely blow up half to death first, this thing can't be used as a conventional weapon at all.
The last group of people had to revise the design again to try to control the power, otherwise even Mithril would not be able to withstand such a toss.
In the months that followed, a group of people continued to experiment and revise until the final design was finalized. During this period, there were still many problems to solve, such as the forging of Mithril, and Solam's pursuit of precision caused all the parts to be very accurate.
And Mithril is notoriously difficult to forge, and if it weren't for Queen Hembo and the Witch Clan poking in the back, it is estimated that Soram would not have been able to complete this gun in his life.
But even so, by the time the gun was finally completed, it was already deep winter, and the year passed like this.
So when Soram tracked down and saw the finished product, the whole person was felt by himself, but it was completed, Soram never thought that he would waste a year of his time for a gun.
The final result was a flintlock rifle that resembled a flintlock rifle, with a total length of about 90 centimeters, and its barrel was much shorter than the original design for various reasons. And the outer layer of the barrel, because of the need to isolate and stabilize the current, is wrapped in a shell made of Mithril.
However, this does not affect its appearance, this gun is decorated with gorgeous abnormality, the body of the gun as a whole is streamlined, the main color of the whole body is silver, the second half of the body is inlaid with a lot of gems, in the combination of the handle and the barrel, it is inlaid with a huge blue gem, which also flashes a trace of thunder from time to time.
That sapphire is the famous Shaped Gem, and this gem is the source of energy for the entire gun. Only this precious magic gem can bring enough energy to this gun.
The inside of the handle is designed as a small space for ammunition storage, and after firing a bullet, the small space in the handle will automatically feed the next bullet into the magazine.
At the same time, this small space can also be changed with some special bullets according to the user's mind.
At the bottom of the handle, there is a small mechanism, as long as you open it, you can add bullets to it, according to the size of the space and the size of the bullet, it is estimated that it will take 300 rounds to fill this space magazine.
The manufacture of bullets, Solam is not sloppy, directly made of tungsten alloy, so as to keep the bullet will not be deformed by huge energy in the chamber as much as possible, but also to ensure the power of the bullet, this tungsten alloy is used to break the armor is a first-class use.
At the same time, Jacqueline also made a batch of special bullets for Solam, which are all products of tungsten alloy and Mithril plating, because of Mithril, these bullets are enchanted.
Jacqueline has now only made 100 Burst Bullets and 37 Magic Breakers for Solam.
The effect of the exploding bomb can be seen from the name.,It's to explode after hitting the target.,It's not bad.,But in general, it's a distance away from the bursting fireball.,And the magic breaking bullet doesn't need much introduction.,It's a big killer for mages.,But it's difficult to make.,So it's very little to make.。
At this point, Soram not only smashed all the Mithril he bought last time, but also consumed some of Mavis and Jacqueline's inventory.
But now it seems to be worth it, at least the power of this gun is really good.
It creates an electromagnetic field that can accelerate bullets to incredible speeds and fire, and can penetrate anything. Its range, accuracy, and stopping force are perfect.
Because this gun is so powerful, in order not to make others covet this gun, Queen Xinbu also enchanted it so that it can only be used by Solam.
Of course, Queen Hinbu will be so enthusiastic to help Soram is not just for fun, she has long said that Soram has said that she will do her best to help Soram complete the gun, and Soram will take out all his design drawings and some necessary knowledge in exchange.
Solam agreed without thinking about it at the time, and there is a reward for what you give.
