Volume 1 The Beginning of the White Capital Chapter 59 Knowledge is power

"All you need to do is master the use of firearms, the arrangement of traps, and the agility of your pace, and you will be able to become a qualified 'musketeer'."

Old Deadwood withdrew his hand and took out the weapon hidden behind his cloak, it was a rather hideous shape and a large firearm, it was hard to imagine how Old Deadwood hid it behind him with the size of this weapon.

"This is my old buddy 'Black Shark', made from the meteorite from the Northern Star Mine mixed with magic iron."

"Can we have one of these weapons in the future?"

Chen Yuan looked at the extremely imposing heavy double-barreled firearm in the old man's hand, and was very envious in his heart.

"If you can meet my requirements before you reach adulthood." Old Deadwood put away the fire gun and threw the two books tied around his waist to Chen Yuan and Apollo respectively.

"After that, every morning the sun rises and you start training, in the morning you learn the knowledge in this book, at noon you will be taught how to use the musket, and in the evening you will be taught how to use your body."

..... Looking at the book in his hand, Chen Yuan almost cracked.

After all, I still can't escape the fate of reading, although there is also a truth that knowledge is power, but Chen Yuan is not very interested in reading. What's more, Chen Yuan was still a liberal arts student in his previous life, so this is a really big science book.

Apollo also has a sad face, it seems that he is not a person who likes to read, he can only be said to be a difficult brother.

"Then, now, you can start learning the knowledge of the book in hand, don't worry, little by little, we can always use time to accumulate knowledge, right?" Old Deadwood sat aside with a smile, took out a bunch of parts from his pocket, and began to maintain the instrument on his own.

There was no way, Chen Yuan had no choice but to choose to follow the teacher's teachings.

Gently open the cover of the heavy book, and on the front page is a paragraph: We do not depend on nature, we choose to believe in our own craft.

The second page is the table of contents, a total of twelve major categories, and there are countless sub-categories under each major category, from which it can be seen that the book is as thick as a square brick for no reason.

The 12 categories include gunsmithing, bullet technology, shooting essentials, advanced firearms, cold weapon throwing, trap construction, topography, and so on.

Among them, the first chapter that Chen Yuan turned to is gunsmithing, which is also the core of the book.

"Chapter 1, Section 1: Types of Instruments: .... Development to the present.... There are five types of firearms..... They are long-range rifles, heavy muskets, repeaters, small pistols, and crossbows..... ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan found that he didn't have many boredoms and obstacles when he studied this book, which may also be related to his own insights in his previous life and the complex but interesting knowledge of this book.

Time passes little by little, and when you sink your mind and concentrate on one thing, time always flies.

As soon as he turned to page 24, Daddy's cry was heard through the woods to the training ground: "Two boys, come and eat." ”

'Snap' closed the book, Chen Yuan rubbed his tired eyes.

"Apollo, go back."

"Hmm."

After a bunch of unpleasant but extremely energetic lunches, Chen Yuan and Apollo each stood in front of one of the boxes on the training ground.

"What I want to teach you now is one of the core skills of our 'musketeers' that has been passed down from generation to generation, about the construction, assembly and maintenance of the weapons in our hands."

"Pick up that part in front of you, it's the pressure-controlled heat conductor in the gun....."

The old dead wood kept explaining the parts and functions represented by the pieces to the two of them one by one, and all five types of firearms were involved, the most complex of which was the long-range rifle, and even the simplest crossbow was relatively simple.

Each 'musketeer' will determine the type of firearm they will specialize in honing in the future after their first contact and learning, and although it is not impossible to use a variety of firearms, most of them will also start to learn other types of firearms after they are fully familiar with one type of firearm and have reached a certain age of accumulation.

The very few who intend to learn to use multiple firearms at the same time from the beginning have all failed due to time and tactics constraints.

After testing the targets on the far left side of the training ground one by one, Chen Yuan finally chose a long-range rifle, while Apollo chose a heavy firearm.

To be honest, Chen Yuan felt that Apollo's choice of heavy firecrackers was a complete mistake, looking at the old deadwood's tall and sturdy physique even in old age, and looking at Apollo's less than one meter seven in adulthood.....

In his mind, he imagined that Apollo was holding a huge heavy firearm in his hand and rushing into the pile, wow, what a strong sense of the picture, Chen Yuan shook goosebumps.

After combining the talent obtained from the trial and his own wishes, Chen Yuan chose the long-range rifle that was most beneficial to his future development.

The so-called long-range rifle, to put it bluntly, is similar to those single-point sniper firearms in the previous life, and its function is also to exchange the rate of fire for power and accuracy.

Chen Yuan is just an ordinary person now, he doesn't have much strength, he can't run fast and he is not invulnerable, only by staying away from the enemy as much as possible can he effectively ensure his survival, and it will also be more convenient for Chen Yuan to do what he needs to do in the future.

"Now that you've all made your choices, let's start training in firearms. Follow me first....."

The old deadwood corrected the two of them holding guns, shooting postures and judging the distance hand in hand, and unconsciously, it was as if the sun had just risen and had set in the sky, and the stars began to shroud the night sky.

In the evening, the real physical work arrives.

Strength training, endurance training, pace training, dodging training, hand-to-hand combat, and more.

The main reason why Old Deadwood said that the 'Musketeer' didn't care so much about talent was that the 'Musketeer' relied on the musket in his hand the most, as long as he grew up with basic physical fitness and combat awareness, it was enough to set up the use of all the abilities of the 'Musketeer'.

The physical quality can be accumulated over time, the sense of battle can be sharpened little by little, and as long as the firearms in the hands are still hot, there is still the strength to fight.

Relying on technological advancement, even if the 'Musketeer' does not have excellent spellcasting ability and strong physical fitness, he still has the growth potential - knowledge and wisdom that can be compared to most combat classes.

The efforts and inspiration of generations of inheritors are the source of strength for the development of 'Musketeers' to this day.

Wearing two weight-bearing irons on the calves, there are also two weight-bearing irons on the thighs, and even the training belt around the waist is also hung with more than a dozen iron bars, Chen Yuan and Apollo are constantly running unevenly, squatting, frog jumping, etc. around the field, and the old deadwood is looking to the far east.

Who knows for sure what the future holds.....
