Chapter 241: Rifled Howitzers
The elevator descended a few meters, Yi Xiaoge's eyes lit up, and a stone room dozens of square meters appeared in front of him, and more than a dozen kerosene lamps on the four walls illuminated the room. I saw a large number of items piled up in the stone room, all kinds of rare antiques, swords, guns, swords and halberds neatly displayed on the surrounding cabinets. On the floor in the middle were several cannons of exquisite workmanship and intricate carvings, and in the middle there was a cannon only a few feet long that was actually made of pure gold.
In addition, there were a large number of gems and jewels randomly stacked in a long window, and Rare's eyes widened as soon as he entered, and he was surprised: "Diderot, you are like a royal treasure here?" ”
"It's just some inventory, garbage that can't be sold."
This Diderot simply refreshed Yi Xiaoge's consistent understanding of thieves, and this TM has simply formed a career.
"So you're going to show me something?" Yi Xiaoge looked at the room, as if there was nothing he was interested in now.
"Wait a minute!" Diderot said, and as he walked to a very inconspicuous wooden box in a corner, took out a long bronze key from his body and inserted it into the keyhole of the small wooden box.
Click
There was a slight crunch, and Diderot pulled out a stack of vellum papers.
"What is this?" Yi Xiaoge walked over.
Diderot handed the stack of leather paper made by a special method to Yi Xiaoge and said, "Mr. Yi, this is what I want to show you, the latest achievement from the Royal Academy of Sciences: a complete set of designs for rifled howitzers!" ”
Yi Xiaoge: !!
Rifled guns! When Yi Xiaoge heard this word, even after the battle in Massa Harbor some time ago, he was not so excited. Rifling, hearing these two words represents precision and great power! A rifled gun, as the name suggests, is a gun with a rifled barrel. This gun has a stronger muzzle velocity, higher accuracy, and longer range than the original cast iron smoothbore gun. Just like the difference between the original flintlock pistol and the rifled gun, I can't imagine that this kind of cannon has appeared in the heart of the world.
Yi Xiaoge took the drawing from Diderot's hand, which read: Fragments of the design of rifled guns and column-type grenades.
"Fragments?" Yi Xiaoge looked at Diderot suspiciously.
"Mr. Yi, don't worry, I have a full set of drawings, but I don't know if you can see it. This is the latest development of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and I got hold of them as soon as they finished the manuscript, and destroyed their data by the way. They have at least a year to make a new set of drawings to ......."
"Diderot, you are really getting bolder, you dare to pull out His Majesty's beard?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor? He never asked me if my life was good, why should I think about him? ”
Yi Xiaoge looked at the drawings carefully and said to Diderot: "It is indeed a thing that I am very satisfied with, how much do you plan to bid?" ”
"Hehe, Mr. Yi, you know, once this cannon comes out, it means that the firepower of your fleet far exceeds that of all the ship types in service. Its range allows you to sink your opponent even before he fires, and the new shell design deals three to four times as much damage in a single shot as the most advanced hollow blasters available today. If you get your hands on these two things, I'm sure to say that the Royal Fleet, the strongest fleet in the heart of the world, is no match for you! Based on the above advantages, I think you will definitely accept 100 million gold coins. ”
Burst!
Riel was drinking the black tea he had brought, and when he heard Diderot's words, he squirted it out directly.
"Diderot! You are a lion with a big mouth, do you want to eat a big fat man in one bite? “
"With all due respect, His Majesty the Emperor was furious to learn of the theft of the threaded ** paper, which is the result of decades and countless costs for the Heart of the World. I'm already investigating the thieves all over the world, and I won't risk it without this price. ”
"But you're too ...... too"
"Deal!" Yi Xiaoge didn't wait for Riel to finish speaking and spit out two words.
"What!" Riel shouted, "Mr. Yi, this guy is obviously killing people!" Where can a cannon be worth 100 million? ”
Diderot was very excited when he heard Yi Xiaoge agree, and he said, "Haha! Or a big man like Mr. Yi understands the value of this drawing, and he also understands the risk I am taking! I'm sure Mr. Yi won't regret it. ”
Yi Xiaoge is not that he has too much money and no place to spend it, which is very cost-effective. This rifled gun and column-type grenade are naval guns developed for battleships, and the combat effectiveness of Yi Xiaoge's battleships equipped with battleships will increase exponentially. In other words, other guilds will definitely not give up this powerful weapon, and this is a blueprint, and it is equipment that can be produced in seconds without an island. When there is a better option in the future, he can sell it on a large scale to recoup the cost.
Under Riel's envious, jealous and hateful expression, Diderot received 100 million gold coins from Yi Xiaoge's transaction, and at the same time, Yi Xiaoge also received a prompt from the system.
"Ding! In view of your excellent shopping reputation and surprising wealth strength, the Heart of the World Black Market hereby upgrades you to the Heart of the World Platinum Buyer. Enjoy a lifetime discount of 10% off black market purchases, and you have the right of first refusal to purchase hot items on the black market and tax-free auction benefits at black market auctions. ”
"Congratulations to Mr. Yi for becoming a valued platinum buyer on the black market, all the merchants of the black market will be happy to serve you wholeheartedly, if you have any particularly precious antiques or other items, you can submit them to the black market for auction. The black market will be exempt from auction tax! Diderot said.
Precious antiques? Yi Xiaoge suddenly remembered the crown and the gold page classic he had obtained in Anadine Underwater City a year and a half ago, and wondered if it could be auctioned?
Diderot handed over the remaining half of the design book to Yi Xiaoge, looking at the shrunken half of the gold coins in his backpack, he had to sigh, it really came and went faster.
Leaving Diderot's shop, Yi Xiaoge said to Riel, "Now take me to the merchant, I'm already a platinum buyer." ”
Riel nodded, this is the purpose of this trip, the rifled howitzer is an unexpected bonus, the news about the steam engine has risen to another level compared to improving the strength, that represents the revolution of science and technology, the transformation of the entire game society. Now that Yi Xiaoge has such an opportunity to become the first person to eat crabs, he naturally can't let it go!
Riel took Yi Xiaoge left and right to the door of a shop three times the size of Diderot. Rare pointed to the shop and said, "Here, that person is the owner of this shop, a black marketeer who specializes in collecting and selling all kinds of mechanical tools. ”
"It seems that this businessman is an old qualification, or a very powerful guy! I'm really looking forward to ......."
