At night, Yi Hui and Gilji talked about the skeleton in the depths of the pit in the residence of the patriarch of the bolt mining area.

"Tell me more about the skeleton." This is very important for the development of the mining area, after all, the place where the skeleton was found, according to Gilji, is deep in the pit along the vein, and if this problem is not properly solved, the development of the mining area will be greatly affected.

Gilji sat on the soft chair, his whole body sunk into the chair, he tried to remember the details of the day, took a puff of pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "That day, I was taking a few family technicians to explore and survey the mine, sampling some ore and assessing the quality, but when we went deep into about 300 meters, we heard the sound of rustling in the pit. ”

"At first, I thought it was animals or something in the mine, and I immediately hit the corner where the searchlight of the magic lamp came from, and beckoned the technicians to set up their muskets and prepare for any impending threats."

"The lamp stretched out to shine into the pit, and because it was too far away, I could only see two small blue flames flickering in the corner, and if the pit contained phosphorus, it was normal for some flames to appear. But then the next thing surprised us. ”

"We slowly approached the place where the flames were, and when we walked in, we saw a human skeleton half buried in a boulder, and the place where the blue fire came out was the two eye sockets on the skeleton."

"There's nothing scary about just a skeleton, but that skeleton actually moved, you know? The skeleton actually moved. It looked up at us with hollow eyes that shone with blue flames, and I was so scared that my soul flew out. ”

"It spoke, as if to say, 'Who are you?' Dwarf gnomes. Whoever it is, give your soul to me! I'm hungry. ”

"I was so frightened that I quickly fired, but I missed because of fear. Immediately after, several other skeletons lying on the ground staggered to their feet and attacked us. You know, the gaps between the bones of the skeletons were so big that it was hard to aim, so we quickly pulled out. ”

After saying this, Gilji still looked very nervous, and it was obvious that what happened that day had caused him a lot of shock. Although they have fought several times, Gilji also has a certain ability to command battles, but this time they are facing skeletons that are beyond their knowledge. For such a terrifying monster, the fear in the hearts of the timid gnomes with the surname Tian still prevailed. After that day, Gilji never dared to go deep into the haunted pit again, only dared to mine some open-pit mines and mines relatively close to the outside, working in mechas, and the gnomes still felt quite safe.

"Oh? Where's that place, how about you take me to see it tomorrow? Yi Hui has some skills, and he doesn't take these skeletons seriously, if even Gilji and them can escape, Yi Hui wants to get out of the way, let alone get out, maybe he can earn some experience.

"Master Yi Hui, don't go, for your safety, it's a big deal that we use explosives to blow up the mine pit and seal those terrifying skeletons inside." When Gilji heard that Yi Hui was going to put himself in danger, he hurriedly dissuaded him from going.

"That place, how are the minerals?" Yi Hui asked.

"There's a lot of magic ore, and there's also Mithril, and we've found some refined iron ore in the inward extension of the Mithril vein, maybe we'll find more if we keep digging." Gilji said.

"Since it's profitable, I'm going to go, and I can't delay our big event for these guys." Yi Hui was already determined to go.

Seeing that Yi Hui had made up his mind, Gilji didn't dissuade him anymore, but just said a lot of words like "you must be careful".

"Oh, by the way, Master Yi Hui, I have benefited a lot from the communication I have with you on the way here, the concept of the musket modification you proposed has been realized by me, and I have already made a sample." Gilji remembered an important thing for Yi Huijiang, and that was a question about the improvement of the musket, "Shall we go and see it now?" ”

"Oh, so quickly?" Yi Hui was obviously very surprised by Gilji's speed, it had been more than a month since he left the bolt pit and went to the Greeneye Swamp to level up, and Gilji had actually turned his proposed idea into a realistic invention. It is really worthy of a skilled dwarf family, and his talent in mechanics is indeed second to none.

The two came to Gilji's new research room, and as soon as they entered the door, Yi Hui saw the modified bolt number standing in the center of the research room. Yi Hui couldn't help but step forward and rub a few times on the mecha shell of the Bolt, after all, he was already an old fellow who had been born and died many times.

"Master Yi Hui, please look at this." Gilji handed a new musket to Yi Hui, this is the third improvement of the musket under the guidance of Yi Hui, the first time is to invent a replaceable magazine, to achieve manual loading and change of bullets, the second is to reduce the weight of the musket and realize the portable improvement of the musket, so what is the improvement content this time?

This musket is now lying quietly in Yi Hui's hand, the silver-white body of the gun reflects the light from time to time, and the biggest difference from the previous musket is that this musket no longer has a magazine, instead of a wheel placed in front of the handle.

"Revolver Rifle" Yi Hui tried his feel and aimed a few shots.

The gun has a stable center of gravity in the hand, and it has been lightened, so it is not difficult at all, and the runner used to store the bullets can be fully loaded with ten rounds of ammunition. It is powered by the bursting magic array at the end of the musket, so the bullet can be made more slender, almost called a short arrow, which can increase his power. The radius of the power compartment where the Burst Magic Array is located has been made larger, and the inner wall has been thickened accordingly, while the barrel has become narrower and narrower, so it is conceivable that the power of such a musket can be increased a lot under the drive of the Burst Magic Array, which increases the power of the explosion.

"It's really rare, it's hard for you to do it in such a short time." Previously, Yi Hui could only reload the gun with both hands in the battle against the lord velociraptor and could not guarantee that each bullet could get the active bonus of Moche, so he put forward a vision for Gilji in the concept of continuous fire of muskets. The most representative of the technology on the earth that can achieve continuous firing just by pulling the trigger is the revolver, and the revolver is also relatively simple in structure compared to those semi-automatic pistols, and it is relatively easy to reproduce. So Yi Hui explained the concept of the revolver to Gilji, and Gilji wrote it down with a twinkle in his eyes, and he didn't expect to turn this concept into reality so quickly.

"If it weren't for your idea, we wouldn't have been able to make such an invention, and sometimes inspiration is more important than technology." Gilji is also very satisfied with his creation, but he is still a little embarrassed to praise Yi Hui.

"Well, okay, I'll take this brand new revolver tomorrow and meet that talking skeleton for a while." Yi Hui unceremoniously loaded this musket into the space ornament.

"Ah, in addition, I have also studied the concept of 'biomimicry' that you proposed, and your idea is really fanciful. Referring to the velociraptor corpse you left behind, I have made a series of adjustments to the counterweight of the bolt number and the ratio of the length of the center and the mechanical leg, and the overall shape is also slightly closer to the 'streamlined' you said, I believe this can improve the speed of the bolt. Gilji pointed to the place where the bolt number had been changed and said to Yi Hui.

Gilji continued: "We have been stuffed in the pit or Miruz before, and the ideas and ideas of research are simply going to be ossified, and we don't know how long we will have to explore this 'biomimicry' proposed by Master Yi Hui!" This has provided us with a great deal of inspiration, and we believe that soon a large number of new and various inventions will be produced in the hands of our bolt family technicians. ”

Yi Hui smiled and nodded, he also referred to the old path of the development of earth science to provide a direction for the research of the bolt family, which is not a big deal for him, but it is also very happy to be able to let the bolt family take some detours to help them.

Put away the bolt number, Yi Hui took a good bath and slept under the arrangement of Gilji, and Yi Hui sighed on the bed that he hadn't slept well like this for a long time, and Yi Hui had seen the damp and muddy swamp.

Watching Gilji continue to research new things under his suggestion, Yi Hui felt a great sense of accomplishment, for Gilji, being able to continuously enrich their mechanical knowledge is the meaning of their existence.

For the explorer-obsessed Falder, the constant development of new maps is what he means; For Jinli, constant fighting is what he is all about; For Argent, the boss of the Golden Ling, processing top-notch leather goods is his meaning; For Sheebel, eating different snacks and being happy is what it means to be alive; For Tataño, who met in Pumpkin Town, exploring the path of music was what he was all about.

So, what is the meaning of one's own existence and the world? Yi Hui lay on his back on the soft big bed and fell into deep thought, he hadn't thought about it for the time being. Count with your fingers, take out the magic map and take a look, Yi Hui has been to many places: Grenoble, Silver Spring Valley, Black Forest, Miluz, Greeneye Swamp. Every time Yi Hui goes to a place, he has different feelings and experiences different stories.

The more places he has been, the more Yi Hui feels that he is small as a person, in the vast desert of the Vino Continent, he is just an insignificant little bit, both in terms of strength and knowledge.

"So, just continue to go to new places, constantly improve your strength, meet more people, and do more things you want to do. Take a fun swim on this continent as a participant! Yi Hui thought so. Whatever it is, I want to try it.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with going with the flow, at least it's exciting now, isn't it?
