Is it necessary to be accurate from official historical documents?

The answer is: not necessarily.

As Fred Alexander said, historians don't necessarily compile history based on real events.

Beautifying, exaggerating, praising and ironic, inserting personal emotions and other means can play a perfunctory role in colleagues and misleading future generations.

If it weren't for Alexander's death order to engrave the facts on both sides of the tomb for future generations to see and reflect, his black history would have been buried forever like dust falling into the desert.

It was only through my conversations with Fred Alexander that I was able to establish that historical documents were also suspected of being concealed or exaggerated.

However, the Orc Kings didn't know about it, and I was worried that they wouldn't believe me, and I was even more worried that none of them were fanatical supporters of ancient texts.

If any of them were fanatical adherents of ancient texts, things would not be good.

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

It is a terrible being who is willing to give his life for the sake of faith.

Questioning their beliefs in front of them is bound to be met with frenzied retaliation from fanatical adherents.

Just when I was worried about this, Prime Minister Lesta spoke: "Well, what Prime Minister An Xiaoyi said is not reasonable, after all, historical documents are written by human beings, mixed with personal emotions, or ordered to tamper with certain facts, and such things happen from time to time, even now. ”

The old duke nodded and said: "You kid is to the point, what kind of elf king's country Xiao Yi said, eighty percent did not survive the melee period, it was annexed by other more powerful countries, the historical documents of the annexed country are naturally determined by the monarch of the country that annexed it, I guess that the monarch is probably a guy who hates the goblin clan to the core, in order to completely destroy this country established by the goblin clan, even at the expense of destroying their historical documents, but fortunately, the location of the mausoleum of the first goblin king is very hidden, which has not been discovered, has been preserved to this day. ”

"The old duke's conjecture is well-founded," complimented Prime Minister Lesta, "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 seamless, and I don't have much more to say."

The orc king glanced at me, with a deep contempt in his eyes, he sighed lightly, and said, "You two don't compliment the old duke anymore, let's get down to business, Xiao Yi, do you think it's really necessary to spend a lot of material and financial resources and time on research for such things as artillery?" ”

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

Glancing over the faces of the three of them, I continued, "Taking a step back, even if the components are really useless, the effort we put into replicating the precision components is still there! ”

"What do you mean...... A machine for duplicating components? The Orc King asked.

"That's right," I said, "Your Majesty, you must already know the power of gunpowder, right?" ”

The Orc King nodded: "Opening the mountain and cracking the rock, it can cause damage to adventurers below level five." ”

"But it's too difficult to carry," Prime Minister Lesta reminded, "and it can only be detonated in a fixed position." ”

"It's not just a fixed detonator, Prime Minister," I said, smiling, "It can also be blasted in a special container, and it can even be converted into propulsion through certain artifacts......

"What you want to say, something like a firebolt," asked the old duke.

"Your ideas are avant-garde!" I complimented, "Yes, it's a weapon like a firebolt, but it's not buckshot, it's something like this big round or pointed head......"

I said as I gestured with my hands, trying to make the shape of a bullet.

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

"You...... I know. ”

Honestly, I'm surprised.

Revolvers, though not rare, are extremely rare compared to firebolts and crossbows.

Due to the limitations of the state of technology, the manufacturing process of the revolver, which looks quite delicate, is quite cumbersome, and it is also very selective in its selection of materials.

The revolver bullet is made of copper-zinc alloy, which has good ductility and corrosion resistance, but its hardness is more than one grade weaker than that of refined iron.

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

A level 5 adventurer who is fully engaged can easily slice through a single or several bullets that come out, and can even avoid a dozen bullets fired at the same time - all of the above are ordinary bullets, not including enchanted bullets.

In addition, because the manufacturing process of copper-zinc bullets is very cumbersome, this also leads to its high price.

Except for some adventurers who regard conventional bullets as their faith, the vast majority of adventurers will not choose this kind of waste wood weapon, which is both expensive and has little practical use.

Speaking of which, some people may not be convinced, no matter how small the hardness of copper-zinc bullets is, they will not be less hardness than lead bullets!

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

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

All in all, I say all this to prove that the revolver is not a common weapon and is not yet popular.

It was such an uncommon and unpopular weapon, and I was amazed that the old duke had heard of it, and knew that its bullets were round-nosed bullets.

The old duke looked at my face, suddenly smiled, 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 out.

The old duke didn't apprehension me, and directly explained the reason: "It was your fiancée named Kailan who told me." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned: "What? Kellan went to your mansion? ”

"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: "That fiancée of yours dared to sell a thing called an equipment enhancement machine to my house in your name. ”
