When he saw Liu Ye's so-called gun for the first time, Tianyou instantly realized that he had seen this thing, and he held it in the hand of one of the colossas in the row outside the gate of Zixiao Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, Tianyou came with the selection team of the Qin State to participate in the selection examination of Zixiao Palace, and when he entered the mountain gate, he saw two huge figures more than five zhang high on the square in front of the mountain gate. Each of these colossias has a unique image, with different weapons and costumes, and one of them is a female statue holding a similar hollow tube in her hand. At that time, Tianyou was still wondering how this slender weapon could be used in combat, but now he understood that it was not a cold weapon at all. It was a gun, a hot weapon that could shoot projectiles.

Compared with the colossus outside the mountain gate, there is a clear difference in the hand, but the general structure is still similar. However, the two obviously belong to different grades of works.

Although the gun in the colossus's hand is of stone, the appearance of the carved dragon and phoenix looks unusually gorgeous, and every curve and every turn on it is so just right and full of beauty. However, the weapon in his hand is full of ...... Rough.

Yes. This gun is very crude.

The body of the gun is roughly a long strip, but it does not resemble a modern weapon, but has the feel of a heavy cavalry spear used by medieval European knights. Its front section is basically a hollow iron pipe, with a conical structure three feet from the muzzle, which at first glance looks like a gauntlet used on European cavalry guns, but this one looks smaller, and the structure is not rounded, but it is angular and angular, as if it was bent and wrapped with a whole piece of iron.

Behind this structure, which is almost cone, is a small holding area, and the reason why it is so easy to identify is because Liu Ye has wrapped strips of cloth around it, which is obviously convenient for grasping and increasing friction.

After holding the point, the body of the gun suddenly enlarged, half into a rectangular structure, and I didn't know what was inside, anyway, I couldn't see any openings outside.

The rectangular structure is followed by iron pipes, which look exactly like the previous part. Tianyou also put the barrel of the gun upright and looked in from the tail, only to find that he could actually see the opposite side directly through the muzzle of the gun.

This thing is obviously not a cold weapon like a red tassel gun, but it doesn't look like a musket to say it's a musket. Its barrel is significantly longer than that of modern rifles, and it is actually a two-pronged structure. God You really can't imagine how such a barrel can pressurize a bullet and shoot it out. In addition, there are no common gun-bearing collars to be found on this gun. It's not ergonomically designed, you can't shoot it over your shoulder, and you can't see any trace of the butt. It has no feed, no trigger, no insurance, and likewise no bolt or bombthrower.

To be honest, if Liu Ye hadn't personally said that this thing could shoot ammunition, Tianyou wouldn't have associated it with "gun" at all. And this material is inevitably a little too inferior, you can clearly feel the roughness of the surface of the iron when you grasp it in your hand, and even the position of holding it is to use cloth strips to solve the friction problem. The whole gun gives Tianyou the feeling of four words: "simple and rough".

Seeing Tianyou frowning with the spear, Liu Ye immediately explained shyly: "I did it myself." My family is poor, so I can't help much, and I can only accumulate contribution points little by little after I get started. Fortunately, I joined the Treasure Weapon Sect, and I can help the brothers and sisters of other sects make some gadgets and have some extra inputs, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford so many materials. However, if I ask my senior brother or immortal chief to help make it, the labor cost is too expensive, and I still can't afford it, so I can only make this gun by myself. It's a little rougher, but I promise it's still very solid to use. ”

"What? You did it yourself?" Tianyou, who had been holding the gun all the time, threw the gun aside when he heard this, and grabbed Liu Ye instead. An engineer who can make a gun is obviously much more valuable than a gun.

Liu Ye was taken aback by Tianyou's reaction, and nodded a little timidly. He shouldn't have had this reaction, but because his family was poor, he was looked down upon by others since he was a child, and he developed a cowardly character. Although the situation has improved slightly after joining Zixiao Palace, the habits he has developed over the years are not so easy to change, and he is still a little unconfident compared to normal junior brothers. If it was a normal Zixiao Palace disciple, in the face of Tianyou, a junior disciple who was lower than his own cultivation and entered late, he would not have this kind of timidity or shyness at all, but Tianyou should be humble to his senior brother.

Liu Ye, who was caught in his hand and shook violently, finally struggled to show that he could indeed make guns, and Tianyou asked without hesitation: "Can you teach me?"

"But aren't you a disciple of Zhenyuan Shangxian?" Liu Ye asked in a low voice.

"Master?" Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Liu Ye meant. Zhenyuan Shangxian is the great sect master of the Treasure Weapon Sect, how many people in the Zixiao Palace can compare to him? Since Tianyou has such a good master, he obviously doesn't need outsiders to teach him. But God You also has his own ideas.

"You also know that the old man is always very busy, and I'm just a registered disciple, so it's not good to always bother him, right? So, I want to learn some basic things from you first, and wait until you teach me everything you know, and if you encounter something you don't understand in the future, you can also ask me again. I can help you go to the master for advice, and when I figure it out, I will teach you in turn. In this way, we can help each other. It's rare to get the guidance of the Great Sect Master, you don't want to miss it, do you?"

Of course, Liu Ye longed for the bright prospects depicted by Tianyou, so he nodded without hesitation. Anyway, all he could teach now were some innocuous basics, and teaching Tianyou was only a little bit of time, and for them monks who often lived for hundreds of years, it was nothing at all.

After confirming the deal, Tianyou immediately couldn't wait to ask Liu Ye about the gun.

"Senior Brother Liu, what kind of bullet is your gun firing?

"Bullets?" Liu Ye was slightly stunned, "Oh, you're talking about bullets, right?"

"Marble?" This time, Tianyou was stunned, but he also quickly reacted, probably because the naming method of the Shenzhou Continent was different from that of the earth. "Yes, it's marbles. Do you have one here? Can you show me some?"

"Wait a minute. ”

After Liu Ye agreed, he turned around and took out a wooden box from the cabinet next to him, which was about the same size as the jewelry box used by the girls, but the structure was relatively simple, that is, it was made of smooth wooden boards without any decoration.

Tianyou placed the gun on the table, and then carefully took the wooden box. It feels heavy to start with, and it's slightly heavier than you think. Open the buckle on the front, then lift the lid on it, and you'll see a bunch of black things.

Tianyou was so surprised that he even forgot to close his mouth, and with a look of disbelief, he pinched out a black pill and put it between the two.

"This ...... That's what you're talking about?"

"Well, that's it. Liu Ye had a natural expression.

God's blessing has been completely blinded. I thought it was just a different name, but I didn't expect this thing to be a marble. The wooden box was full of these round black projectiles, which should be the most ordinary pig iron in terms of weight and color, and the quality was extremely poor. The iron ball with the thickness of the index finger can be seen on the surface of the potholes, and many of them have reddish-brown rust marks, which shows that both smelting and maintenance are not in place.

Endured all kinds of complaints in his heart, Tianyou decided to wait and see the results of the live firing. "That...... Brother, can you demonstrate the shooting effect?"

Liu Ye said with some embarrassment: "This gun is very powerful, and the range is long, you need to go to a place where no one can test it, and if you want to see the power, you also need a special shooting range." Now that it's getting dark, I'm afraid that even if I borrow it from the shooting range, I won't be able to see the impact of the bullets, right?"

"This ......" Tianyou really didn't expect this stubble, but if he couldn't get a rough idea of the performance of this gun, he wouldn't want to fall asleep tonight. So in the end, under Tianyou's repeated insistence, Liu Ye still failed to beat him, which also proved his lack of confidence. Change the senior brother, Tianyou's improper request will not be ignored at all, let alone persuaded.

The Treasure Weapon Sect has to make all kinds of weapons, so it has its own shooting range, and there are quite a few of them. With the name of Zhenyuan Shangxian, Tianyou easily borrowed one. Of course, there is also a reason why he is very popular among the miscellaneous workers, otherwise it is said that the shooting range will not be easily opened at this time.

Came to this small and narrow shooting range with a full set of guys, and then Liu Ye began to prepare to shoot under the urging of Tianyou.

Because this thing is really too different from the rifle on earth except for the iron pipe in the middle, Tianyou knows nothing about it. Seeing Liu Ye fiddling there, he was wondering where this thing was going to be loaded from.

Guns on Earth are now breech-loaded, but the inlets are fired in any direction. Liu Ye's sword is sealed up, down, left and right, and there is no place to see where it can be used for loading, but the front and back ends are completely incomprehensible. So Tianyou was very curious about where Liu Ye was going to stuff the bullet in.

Tianyou watched from the side, and Liu Ye's movements were obviously very skillful. I opened the wooden box that I had brought out, grabbed an iron pellet from it and held it in my palm, and then pinched one with two fingers and carefully filled it into the tail of the gun. This gun is actually breech-loaded, but God You can't figure out how to fire ammunition in this open breech. And just when Tianyou was entangled in this, the other party filled the chamber with a second iron pellet, followed by a third and a fourth, until he stuffed a handful of projectiles into it, and went to grab a new one, apparently planning to continue loading.

It is not strange to reload in the breech, but who has ever seen that the bullets are placed in series in an open chamber? But Liu Ye's gun is like this, and depending on what he means, this is not that his gun is special, but that this kind of weapons in Zixiao Palace are designed like this.

For example, today You has no power to complain about the strange characteristics of this gun, and just watched quietly from the sidelines. He wanted to know the general situation of the gun first, and then ask the reason for it.

After stuffing thirty iron pellets in one go, Liu Ye finished the loading process, and the iron pellets in the wooden box had already gone down a little half. Regardless of other performances, this thing has a decent bomb load.

After loading the bullet, Liu Ye walked to the launch position in the shooting range, there was a small circular stone slab as a marker for the launch position, and the target area in front of it had already been helped by handymen to insert a round wooden target, and there were three red circles on it. Although it is not known the specific distance of the target from the launch position, Tianyou should be close to 60 meters above 50 meters.

The weights and measures used in the Shenzhou Continent are similar to those in ancient China, and the range of bows and arrows is generally calculated by the number of steps, and as in ancient China, the step here refers to the distance of each step of the left and right feet that modern people say. Tianyou had studied this unit of measurement before in order to test his compound bow, so he knew that one step in the weights and measures used by the Shenzhou Continent was equal to 5 feet, that is, 1.2 meters long.

The test target cannot be placed randomly, most of them are in integer digits, so Tianyou speculates that the target may be placed in 50 steps, and the distance is just 60 meters, which is similar to his calculation. Later, the handyman who helped also confirmed that this target was the 50-step standard. The handyman is in charge of the shooting range, is familiar with the testing process, and does not make special requirements, and long-range weapons are generally tested from 50 steps.

The target was set, but Liu Ye did not pick up the gun, but began to untie the cloth strip. Qi Xianyou thought that the cloth strip was for anti-slip, but Liu Ye disassembled it before shooting, which obviously means that it is not for this purpose.

Tianyou, who didn't know how strange this gun was, could only watch dryly, but fortunately, Liu Ye quickly removed the strip of cloth.

The wrapped place was also a very thin barrel inside, but unlike what Tianyou thought, there was actually a wooden cladding on the outside, and the wood was densely engraved with imprints. Tianyou recognized at a glance that it was an uncharged spirit array, although he didn't know how it functioned for the time being, but it was definitely a spirit array.

Wrapping the strip of cloth around his left arm, Liu Ye lifted the head of the gun, but the holding posture was very strange, not shooting against the shoulder like a modern rifle, but as if he was holding a red tassel gun.

Obviously, this posture cannot be aimed at a simple three-point, one-line aim, and the accuracy can only be adapted to by feel. Liu Ye probably also knew that this thing's crosshairs were not very good, or because he was too lazy to aim during the test, anyway, he started to activate almost as soon as he picked up the gun.

Under Tianyou's spiritual vision, he could clearly see the aura emerging from all over Liu Ye's body, and then flowing into the grip of the gun through his arm. The originally invisible spiritual nets lit up one after another after the spiritual power was injected, and they were as clear as a light in the dark night in Tianyou's sight, of course, no one else could see them except Tianyou.

As the spirit net began to charge, Tianyou saw that the spirit array inside the gun body also moved, and a large amount of spiritual power was continuously imported from Liu Ye's body into the spirit array, and then flowed to the entire inside of the gun body, even the conical gauntlet in front of it seemed to be full of spirit arrays, and Tianyou was even a little dizzy when he looked at the dense lines.

"What a complicated formation!"

"Senior brother, what are you talking about?" The handyman next to him heard Tianyou's self-talk, and thought he was talking to himself.

Tianyou hurriedly covered up: "No, I'm sighing at the magic of this weapon." ”

The handyman next to him seemed to have found a topic, and immediately began to follow Tianyou's words: "Yes." You said that this was originally an ordinary iron pipe, but after being engraved with the spirit array, it can produce such an effect, which is really amazing. If it weren't for the obvious shortcomings, there would have been a lot of people who liked it. ”

Obviously, this is not the first time that this handyman has seen a gun, so Tianyou asked casually: "Are there very few people who use this thing?"

The miscellaneous servant nodded and said, "Such an expensive thing, and there are no obvious advantages, of course, the new disciples will deliberately avoid such weapons, and naturally not many people will use them." Besides, the shortcomings of this thing are too obvious. ”

"What shortcomings?" Tianyou just wanted to know about the characteristics of this weapon, and when he heard that this thing had major flaws, he naturally wanted to ask about it.

I thought that the handyman would explain a lot, but after hearing Tianyou's question, he just said to Liu Ye: "Na, isn't this the most obvious shortcoming?"

Tianyou turned his head to look at Liu Ye in confusion, and then suddenly understood the meaning of the miscellaneous servant's words.

He frowned and sighed, "This is really a major flaw!"
