The biggest problem with this gun is that it's slow. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Liu Ye has been accumulating energy since the handyman set the target just now, but it wasn't until the handyman walked slowly to Tianyou's side and said a few words to him that the gun was still accumulating. Luckily, though, it finally hit after Tianyou noticed the problem.

There was no loud roar or brilliant flames, and the muzzle of the gun only spewed out some fine orange light particles, which should have been sparks brought by the projectile scraping the wall of the chamber. And with the spark bloomed was a screeching sound like a sword cutting through the air, not harsh, but sharp enough.

The accuracy of this gun was not bad, almost at the same time as the sound sounded, the target fifty paces away shattered, not only was it a hole pierced, but the entire target was scattered in pieces, and the wreckage was scattered within twenty paces behind the target, and there were hardly large fragments to be seen.

After Liu Ye fired a shot, he turned to look at Tianyou, waiting for his evaluation.

"It's powerful, and it's good, but it's too long to prepare. Why don't you continue? Do you have to stop for a while every time this gun is fired?"

"No, it's not. I thought you just wanted to see the effect, just shoot it, and I'll go ahead if you still want to see it. Liu Ye said and squatted down again and began to load the tail of the gun.

Tianyou didn't pay attention at first, but nodded before realizing that something was wrong. "Wait, why are you reloading again? Didn't you just stuff it up?"

In Tianyou's surprised questioning, Liu Ye asked him with a blank face: "But didn't I already shoot the marble just now?"

Tianyou's questions were all blocked by Liu Ye's rhetorical question, he really didn't expect this strange-shaped gun to be so strange. I thought it was a decent reload and had pretty good sustained firepower, but who would have thought it would be a shotgun. More than 30 iron pills are only the amount of its one-time launch, and according to this standard, Liu Ye's box of iron pills will only be enough for three times at most. In this way, the reload of this thing is not too much, but too little.

Tianyou has been completely defeated by the design concept of the Zixiao Palace refiners, is this kind of heavy shotgun used to hit dinosaurs? Such a large projectile, spewing out more than thirty pieces of ammunition in one go, even a Tyrannosaurus rex would be blown off half of its head with a single shot, right?

Originally, it was thought that this thing was only a long preparation time for launch, but now it seems that it will have to add disadvantages such as excessive power at close range, limited range, insufficient bomb load, and difficulty in reloading. It can be said that apart from the incomparable power within fifty steps, this thing has almost no merit at all. It's no wonder that Tianyou has been coming to Zixiao Palace for several months, and he hasn't even seen anyone using this thing.

After being stunned for a while, Tianyou still let Liu Ye test fire again, and asked him to complete the loading and shooting as quickly as possible, while Tianyou himself silently counted the seconds in his heart.

When Liu Ye bent into another shot, Tianyou got the approximate firing interval of this gun.

Because it is necessary to load 30 projectiles one by one, it is a very long process to reassemble. Although Liu Ye had already sped up as much as possible according to Tianyou's request, it still took a full thirty seconds to complete the reload, and the preparation time for energy storage after that was as high as more than forty seconds. That is, the interval between the two shots of this gun is about a minute and a dozen seconds. Most of the front-loading guns on the planet have more than that, and some skilled crews can even fire three or four rounds of ammunition a minute. In comparison, the performance of this gun is simply terrible.

While it's not bad, and even though it can sweep down a large number of enemies at once, it doesn't make up for its extremely slow rate of fire. If it's on the battlefield, even the infantry probably has enough time to rush to the front and kill the gunner before it fires. And if the enemy is a swift monk...... It was unimaginable.

Tianyou, who originally had great expectations for this gun, looked extremely gloomy because of the huge psychological gap, and the aura around the group began to become dangerous. Even if Liu Ye is no longer confident in his cultivation, he is still there, and he is extremely sensitive to changes in aura. However, it was precisely because of his lack of self-confidence that he became even more timid under the changes in aura caused by Tianyou, and he didn't even dare to disturb Tianyou's thinking.

The handyman on the side saw that Tianyou and Liu Ye didn't speak, so naturally they didn't dare to interject. What's more, he's not stupid either. Tianyou is in a bad mood, of course he can see it.

Fortunately, Tianyou is not the kind of person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, and he just lowered his head and thought for a while before recovering. The dead aura around him also seemed to come alive suddenly, which made Liu Ye breathe a sigh of relief.

God bless figured it out. The gun in Liu Ye's hand is really bad, and its performance is so bad that it can't be worse. However, its potential is not necessarily as bad as its performance.

First of all, the gun was able to fire ammunition without sealing the breech, which shows that the firing principle used was very different from that of gunpowder weapons. Previously, Tianyou only knew that electromagnetic weapons had similar properties, but the technology used by Zixiao Palace was definitely not like electromagnetic guns. However, since both are propelled by energy, they should have the same characteristics, which means that the gun should at least have the characteristics of increasing the firing power as the input energy increases. It can even increase the launch speed by increasing the energy injection speed.

Secondly, rifle bullets on the earth generally weigh less than 10 grams, and each projectile fired by this gun is almost more than 13 grams, which means that the total mass of 30 ammunition it is loaded at one time is close to or even more than 400 grams. 500 grams is a pound, what is the concept of more than 400 grams of projectiles?

If this gun can accelerate a projectile of almost four hundred grams to a speed invisible to the naked eye, then how much muzzle kinetic energy should it have?

What if Tianyou could reduce the mass of the projectile, for example, by changing back to single-shot mode, loading only one ammunition at a time, and pulling back the crooked technology tree of Zixiao Palace? The kinetic energy originally used for a 400-gram projectile was concentrated on a projectile weighing less than 10 grams, how terrifying would the ejection speed of this projectile be under the previous thrust of more than 40 times? At that time, even if you want to surpass those anti-materiel weapons on the earth, it will not be a dream, right?

Of course, Tianyou is not a novice in technology who doesn't know anything, and it is impossible for him to make a rifle with an exaggerated speed. Tianyou estimates that the reason why this gun has such a long energy storage time is because the projectile to be fired is so heavy that it must accumulate enough spiritual power to convert it into kinetic energy through an ultra-long energy accumulation, otherwise it is impossible to raise a projectile weighing close to one pound to that speed.

Therefore, if the weight of the projectile can be reduced, it means that the energy storage time can be greatly reduced. At the same time, because you only need to reload one round at a time, this reload speed will also be greatly increased. Even God Blessed could make this gun a rapid-fire weapon by "inventing" a magazine or chain. It is important to know that for a weapon that does not need to close the breech, the requirements for a feeding system are too simple.

Assuming that all this can be achieved, then all the problems of this gun will be solved, and the previous shortcomings will no longer exist. And as soon as he thought of this possibility, Tianyou felt that there was actually hope that this gun could be saved. Of course, the premise is that God must first be able to figure out how it works.

After comforting Liu Ye, who was a little nervous by him, Tianyou began to inquire in detail about the key performance data of this gun.

Sure enough, the firing method used by this gun was extremely exaggerated, and it was a way to directly convert the spiritual power in the spirit array into thrust. It's a lot like a cannon, but it's better because it doesn't require the projectile to be magnetic, so it can theoretically fire ammunition of any substance, and as long as you can stuff it into the chamber, the gun can shoot it.

After getting such information, Tianyou immediately surprised Liu Ye to replace the iron pellet with a piece of dirt that he casually pulled out of the ground, and this test not only verified that this gun can really fire any substance, but also confirmed by the way that Tianyou just thought that the method of increasing the rate of fire was indeed feasible. Because when Liu Ye launched the dirt this time, the energy storage process was completed in just one second.

Of course, the soil launched is not lethal at all, and the clods of soil turn into flying slag in the sky the moment they are discharged, like a sprayer. At least Tianyou now understands why Liu Ye used iron pellets as ammunition, obviously ammunition made of too light and loose objects is not lethal.

Liu Ye didn't know why Tianyou became so excited after watching him launch a piece of mud, but it was better than him having a straight face, so he happily cooperated with Tianyou.

Tianyou still didn't forget to ask Liu Ye about this gun in his excitement, although he guessed the reason why Liu Ye used the iron pill, he still asked again to confirm. After receiving the answer he expected, Tianyou asked him again why he had loaded thirty rounds of ammunition in one go.

"Is this ......" Liu Ye explained helplessly: "At first, I also tried to load only one bullet, so the rate of fire can be much faster, but the bullets that are discharged are always flying around, and there is no accuracy at all, and there is only half the probability of hitting a target as big as a person three steps away, if it is farther away, it will be completely uncontrollable." I had no choice but to start increasing the amount of ammunition, so that the iron pellets that were shot out at one time would scatter indiscriminately, and there would always be a few that could hit the target by chance. ”

Well, that's the reason why the rifle has become scattered for a long time.

"That's right, Senior Brother Liu Ye. Although there aren't many guns in Zixiao Palace, there are still a few, right?"

"Of course. We all firmly believe that the future of guns is brighter. ”

"You guys?" Tianyou keenly grasped the point.

"Hmm. Liu Ye naturally replied: "The Treasure Weapon Sect has a group of brothers who specialize in using guns, because our weapons are not very powerful, and there are few people who use them, so we have formed an alliance and often help each other. It's a pity that we are all disciples who are not very talented, so there are not many places where we can support each other. ”

Tianyou can roughly understand the situation of their organization.

So far, the performance of this gun is really scummy, and those who still insist on using it can only do so because they have no other choice. So, what kind of situation will cause them to not have a choice? The simplest reason is that they are not talented.

The content taught by the other sects requires talent, but talent is not something that everyone has, and there are always some people who are average talented. Besides, Zixiao Palace is the same as Tsinghua University and Peking University in China, and those who can be accepted are all top-notch leaders in the whole continent. On the other side of this kind of people, as long as the talent is not extremely superb, it is not good.

The competitive pressure is so great, these talents are average, but it is the brothers who are barely qualified to become official disciples, so they can only choose this scumbag gun.

Don't look at the performance of this thing, but it is powerful enough, and it also has a great deterrent effect on high-level monks. Second, there is little skill to use it. Pick up the gun, aim in the general direction, and recharge it desperately. There is no need for any skill at all, and naturally the dependence on talent is much smaller.

Therefore, this seemingly rubbish weapon has become the last straw for Liu Ye and his talented junior brothers, at least choosing this weapon will have a long and short chance with those powerful junior brothers, otherwise they will really have to be willing to be a stepping stone.

"Tell me about your friends. After Tianyou finished speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Ye to answer, and continued to ask: "Haven't you thought about improving the hit rate?"

Liu Ye asked puzzled again: "Didn't I find a solution? Loading multiple bullets at a time can hit a large area, no matter whether the enemy is dodging or standing still, as long as he can't run out of the range of the projectile's spread, it is difficult not to be hit." ”

"No, I'm not talking about this kind of improvement of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall. Tianyou hurriedly explained: "I'm talking about the kind of improvement that doesn't lose energy storage time." The kind of improvement that allows a single bullet to hit the target accurately. ”

"I've thought about it before, but there's never been a good way. I even considered replacing the marbles with arrows, hoping to use clusters of arrows to stabilize the flight path. ”

"Did you find that the arrows didn't fly at all?"

"How do you know?" Liu Ye looked at Tianyou in surprise, this kind of thing is not possible for others to know in such detail except for those of them who specialize in guns.

However, Tianyou happened to know very well, because his compound bow had been in a similar situation before.

The gun fires like an electromagnetic gun, but it can accelerate any matter without necessarily adding magnetism to the projectile, so it should theoretically be possible to fire arrows.

But. In fact, this solution is completely unfeasible. At least not until the gun itself is improved or special arrows are used.

The firing principle of this gun determines that the projectile will get a stable thrust before it is completely out of the range of the spirit array. However, the spear's spiritual array is spread all the way to the muzzle position, which means that when the tip of the arrow leaves the muzzle, the tail of the arrow is still receiving thrust.

Ordinary bows can make arrows fly stably because the speed is not high, but the special design of the compound bow of Tianyou has an amazing arrow speed. Something similar happened in the beginning, where the arrows couldn't be fired at all, and they would always roll and explode inexplicably. In order to solve this problem, Tianyou has tried many methods, and finally found that the easiest way is to replace the spin tail. This tail allows the arrow to keep rolling sideways throughout the launch and flight, like a bullet. Relies on high-speed spin to stabilize the trajectory.

Liu Ye's spear has the same ultra-high kinetic energy output as Tianyou's bow, so the speed of the arrow is extremely exaggerated. When the arrow is discharged, it will fall due to gravity. Originally, this drop was not large, and bows and arrows would have a similar situation. However, the speed of the bow and arrow is slow, and this drop will be slight, which can be compensated for by manual adjustment. But Liu Ye's muzzle velocity was too fast, and when the arrow began to fall slightly, the tail of the gun was still bearing a huge thrust in the chamber, which was worse than Tianyou's bow.

The maximum thrust of the bow is interrupted at the beginning of the bowstring rebound, when the arrow speed is not fast and the front end does not completely leave the arrow ring, and there is an external stabilization effect to assist in stabilization. But even so, the arrows of God's blessing still rolled.

Liu Ye's gun is much more problematic in comparison. The thrust of the gun is constant, so as the more shafts leave the muzzle, the thrust is more concentrated on the tail of the arrow.

The arrows moving at high speed are subjected to tremendous air resistance, but the tail of the arrow is constantly thrust forward. The huge reverse force will cause the arrow to tumble irrepressibly, even if it can't explode directly. So even if Liu Ye finally shot the arrow at his feet, Tianyou wouldn't feel anything strange.

It's easy to solve this problem. If it is to recreate the guard of a gun, as long as you don't spread the spirit array all the way to the muzzle, leave the length of an arrow in front and do not lay the spirit array, so as to ensure that the arrow loses thrust before leaving the muzzle and flies only by inertia. So that the arrow doesn't roll.

As for the gun that Liu Ye has already built...... It's as easy as it gets. Just add a chute directly in front of the muzzle. There are chute stabilization arrows before the tail of the arrow loses thrust so that there is no rollover. Or don't change the gun, just learn from God, and replace the tail of the arrow with a spin type. However, it is relatively easier to change the gun, and once and for all, you don't need to modify every arrow. Later, you can even directly pick up the enemy's arrows and shoot them back.

Of course, God Blessing actually does not recommend using arrows instead of projectiles. In contrast, the arrow is still too large and heavy, it was not originally intended for guns, and naturally it cannot fully exert the performance of the gun.

Tianyou didn't answer Liu Ye how he knew, but directly asked him if he had a way to improve.

Do you still need to ask this question? Of course, Liu Ye bowed his head and bowed.

Tianyou didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't talk about any conditions, he directly asked the handyman to lead the way, went to the workshop next to him to borrow a piece of wood, and then made a simple slide with tools. It resembles a chute on a crossbow that holds crossbow arrows, but it is much longer and rougher.

The structure of this thing is super simple, and it does not require accuracy, but it is just to verify the feasibility, and Tianyou did not even measure it, and it was dug out with a planer knife purely by feel. After finishing the work, I remembered that I didn't make a connection mechanism, and I looked at the handyman next to me, gritted my teeth and didn't do it at all, and just let the handyman hold it under the muzzle with his hand and make do with it.

The handyman was also nervous, for fear of hurting himself, but fortunately, God promised the benefits, so he agreed.

Go back to the range and retest. The handyman held the chute, and Liu Ye took an ordinary arrow that he had just picked up in the workshop, and then loaded it into the chamber. Tianyou reminded him not to charge too much, because this arrow is an ordinary commodity and can't stand too much thrust. After all, this gun originally fired a projectile weighing more than 400 grams, and when it was replaced with a feather arrow that weighed only two or two, the thrust was obviously excessive.

Liu Ye began to replenish the spiritual power of the spiritual array in the gun, according to Tianyou's reminder, his energy storage time this time was very short, and then he only heard a scream, and the arrow flew out instantly. Instead of hitting the target, it slammed into the ground about eighty paces away, and then the shaft of the arrow snapped and exploded.

"Ahh It was freshly dug out, the surface was not smooth enough, and there were a lot of tiny wood chips, so it was not surprising that it was ignited.

Liu Ye didn't care about the slide at all, he ran directly to the position of the exploding arrow shaft excitedly, and only looked at Tianyou excitedly after digging out the deep arrow: "This...... This one really works. ”

"Of course. This piece is just a temporary rush to work on the verification sample, if it is replaced with iron and carefully made, the accuracy is absolutely guaranteed. But......" Tianyou paused suddenly when he said this, and only then did he continue until he aroused Liu Ye's interest: "But I don't recommend you to change in this area, the effect is too bad." If you want to be powerful, it's better not to use arrows. ”

"What's that for?"
