Chapter Two Hundred and Six:

These are two rear-loading single-shot rifles with a rotary bolt machine, and most of the rifle parts and cartridges are hand-made from a small hand-cranked stamping press designed by Lin Fan.

"Do you know what these two are?" Lin Fan pointed to the two rifles on the workbench and asked the eight apprentices in front of him.

"I know, this is a dwarven musket, I saw it before when my uncle and I went to Boulder City, and it is said to have been invented by the dwarven master Bronze Hammer." A male apprentice with short bright blonde hair raised his hand in response.

"No, I've also seen the dwarf musket, and the structure is much simpler than the teacher's two, so the teacher's must be a strengthened version of the dwarven musket!" Next to the blonde apprentice, a female apprentice who also had long blond hair retorted.

When the others heard this, they all thought she had a point, and they all nodded in agreement, and the blonde boy probably turned his face angrily because he was robbed of the limelight by his sister.

Lin Fan has also heard a little about the dwarf race, this race is similar to what it says, all of them are top blacksmiths, and muskets and black powder are things they have made.

The smokeless gunpowder he used to make bullets was improved from these black powders, which saved him a lot of effort.

"Have you ever played with muskets?" Lin Fan did not comment on the rights and wrongs of the two siblings.

"Nope." Everyone shook their heads, the technology of muskets has always been a secret of the dwarves, and the number of muskets circulating in the market is very small, so only some nobles can have this kind of firearms in their homes, and most of these apprentices in front of them are the children of commoners and merchants, and under normal circumstances, they have no chance to come into contact with this kind of thing.

"Well, you also have credit for these two rifles, now let's go out and test the power, everyone come with me." Lin Fan picked up two rifles, handed one of them to the blonde female apprentice, and then turned his head and walked out of the cave.

These two rifles are upgraded versions that Lin Fan made after modifying himself according to the design of the Mauser rifle, with an effective firing range of 8 rounds with a built-in magazine: 1000m, a ruler firing range of 3500m, and muzzle velocity: 950 m/s, which cannot be compared with the dwarven musket at all.

"I'll show you first, and then you will come one by one, and each of you will have ten bullets." After Lin Fan took the rifle and loaded the bullets in the magazine, he pulled the gun and tied it, aimed at a boulder five hundred meters in front of him, and pulled the trigger.

"Smack!"

There was a soft sound, and a handful of stone dust immediately splashed on the boulder.

"See, it's easy to shoot, but it takes a long time to practice if you want to hit the target, so let's go and see the power first!" Lin Fan put down his gun and led the group of apprentices to the boulder five hundred meters away, and a bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared on the stone face that was originally covered with moss.

An apprentice tested the depth of the bullet hole with a twig, and it was thirty centimeters! Seeing this result, all the apprentices showed shocked expressions, and finally looked at Lin Fan with adoring eyes, as if they had seen an idol with a brainless fan.

"Okay, you guys play, I have something to go down the mountain." Lin Fan said as he took the rifle in his hand and walked down the mountain road.

He was going to talk to Madame Leo about the caravan, the rifle in his hand was the first commodity of the caravan's agent, the manufacturing process of this rifle was far simpler than the exoskeleton, the cost was cheap, and the power was strong, and after ordinary people got this weapon, they might even shoot the apprentice knight.

Making rifles was the idea that he suddenly came up with when he was in Ximu Village before and saw that group of archers shooting demonized orcs with rudimentary bows and arrows, most of the territories in the north are often attacked by orcs, if there are these rifles, then the defense of these villages and towns will be greatly improved, so the market for rifles is very large, and it is a hen that can lay golden eggs.

In the castle, after Mrs. Leo saw the power of the rifle, her eyes flashed with green light, and she looked like she wanted to swallow Lin Fan, after all, Lin Fan brought her too many surprises, whether it was the exoskeleton or this rifle, it was an extremely valuable product.

After the two discussed, the next day, a caravan set out from Rogue Town to Boulder City, the head of the caravan was the butler Engels, and Madame Leo wanted to lead the team herself, but there were too many things in the town for her to deal with, and she couldn't get out of it.

In addition to Engels, there were five trainee knights and two hundred soldiers escorting along the way, looking at Engels who was wearing an enchanted knight's armor, Lin Fan realized that the old man in front of him was actually a knight who had already exploded into vindictiveness.

This is also the first time Lin Fan has seen the alchemy products of this world, the knight's armor is engraved with some golden lines, these lines are not decorations, but magic patterns, which can make the armor have magical power.

Although the armor is well maintained, the traces left over from some years are also obvious, and it can be seen that this set of armor has a continuous history.

"This set of knights' armor, called "Solar Glory", was handed down by my grandfather and has been around for almost 300 years. ”

After Engels noticed Lin Fan's gaze, he automatically introduced that the general knight family has its own heritage, and Engels is no exception, his ancestor is a fourth-level sky knight, and he can be crowned with the title of "sky", which not only means that his own strength can fly in the sky, but also means that his mount is a flying monster.

The strength of the fourth-level sky knight is definitely several times stronger than that of an ordinary fourth-level knight.

Lin Fan always thought that there were only two first-class knights around Mrs. Leo, but now it seems that it was just a smoke bomb released from her face, and Engels's strength was definitely more than just a level, if it weren't for him taking the initiative to reveal his identity as a knight today, Lin Fan would have thought that he was just an ordinary housekeeper.

It is about a day or two from Rogue Town to Boulder City, and there will be many dangerous places on the way, and there are a large number of subhuman races outside the wilderness of this planet, in addition to the elusive thieves, so under normal circumstances, ordinary people under the lord's command will never have the opportunity to step out of the territory in their lifetime.

The first day was very peaceful, and I encountered several waves of thieves' spies, but maybe because of the daytime, or because I saw the elite caravan guards, I didn't dare to do it.

When the caravan was camping at night, Lin Fan was bored, so he carried a rifle and Daisy into the forest next to him to hunt, and by the way improved the food, Engels was not at ease, so he sent two trainee knights and a small team of swordsmen to follow.

This planet is free of various elemental energies in the air, so even ordinary beasts are very fierce, especially at night, some beasts begin to leave their nests to hunt for food, and all kinds of roars in the forest come one after another.
