Su Wen has always had a question, since the goblins invented the musket two or three hundred years ago, and the dwarves carried forward the musket technology, but in the same two or three hundred years, why in his own world, this technology tree has already been lit up, and here it is still in the stage of tunnel firing guns?

The only answer is that it is not taken seriously, after all, the material craftsmanship and design process are not affected by the fact that this is the wizarding world - goblins can even make strong enough materials to support the Ferris wheel, and it stands to reason that they cannot produce powerful modern kinetic guns.

But why is it not taken seriously?

After all, even if it is a tunnel musket, its muzzle kinetic energy is amazing, and its discharge energy is no less than that of most modern kinetic rifles, and it is much higher than that of short-bore submachine guns and pistols. Just like the scene I saw just now, the four-ring magic shield that can withstand several ice arrows is actually not much different from a piece of paper in the face of high-speed bullets, not only was it penetrated instantly, but it also did not provide any protection for the people inside.

This is exactly what Su Wen is puzzled about, since the power of firearms in this world has not been reduced, if there are no more serious side effects, it is impossible not to be taken seriously. Then the current world should not be a world where swords and magic are exclusive, at least those magicians and fighting spirit players can't be powerful, because before reaching a certain level, anyone has the ability to easily kill and injure them.

So what's the crux of the matter?

At first, Su Wen believed that it was the difference in gunpowder composition and performance, which limited the development of firearms in this world, after all, even in his own world, the real rapid development of modern kinetic firearms was more than a hundred years after the concept of firearms appeared, after the discovery of smokeless gunpowder. And Su Wen had studied it before, and the mainstream gunpowder in the Brilliant Continent was obviously still in the era of black powder.

However, after a series of tests, although the composition could not be analyzed, the results obtained showed that there was no clear difference between the two. The same fierce burning, the same thick smoke, and the same large amount of residue left behind, it is the most primitive and basic gunpowder that cannot be widely used. So Su Wen came to a helpless conclusion at that time: probably because there was a lack of shit luck in this world, who happened to wipe nitric acid and sulfuric acid with his clothes and then accidentally threw it into the fire and found nitrocellulose, so the modernization and development process of firearms was indefinitely delayed due to the performance limitations of black powder.

This is good news, because Su Wen knows the basic formula of smokeless gunpowder, and he can even use it to create a precedent for an era, and from then on, like the protagonist of the ordinary otherworldly crossing, subdue the goblin gnomes, create his own army of armed maids, occupy the land and fight the world to reach the pinnacle of life. But just when he was about to try it, a chance reading in St. Peter's Library poured cold water on him.

Sure enough, the reason why the guns of the Brilliant Continent have not been able to be developed at all is not only because smokeless gunpowder has not yet been manufactured.

Of course, it is not the suppression of the Magicians Association or the Church of Light, not to mention that as long as this thing is really useful, the suppression will not work at all, and it will only backfire. In fact, in the eyes of the Wizards' Guild and the Church, the clever invention of goblins, although not bad, is nothing more than a gadget that cannot be put on the table.

Why?

In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, the world is made of elements, and black powder is actually an unstable mixture with the solidified fire element as the main component.

In fact, only a small part of the black powder is used by goblins as an ignition for firearms, and its main use is mostly supplied to major alchemy workshops, where it is used as a booster for the fire element, which is a low-level material for ordinary whiteboards. The main significance is that when alchemists need to use the fire element, they only need a sound to ignite the gunpowder, and they can easily create a large amount of free fire element in an instant, without spending a lot of their own mana. And when you want to do this, as long as you study hard, even if you are an apprentice magician, you have no problem.

If you say that, you should be able to realize something.

Instability......

A snap of your fingers can ignite ......

Instantly creates a large amount of Free Fire Elemental......

Even an apprentice magician can do it easily......

Okay, gunpowder kinetic firearms are basically cold.

Imagine a large number of heavily armed and murderous kobolds with guns rushing into the city, intending to create a vigorous terrorist attack, and then an unknown magician passing by snapped his fingers and released an elemental leap, and the powder kegs hanging on these kobolds exploded one after another, turning into fireworks and fireballs, and the scene was particularly distressing. In this kind of miserable situation, except for a few unlucky people who are obsessed, unable to cultivate magic, and want to have the powerful power of hypocrisy, who has the heart to study what Rausch powder gun is!

However, there is still a profession in this world called the Magic Spearman, which belongs to a branch of the magic equipment department. Although the goblin's powder gun is very unreliable, the idea of transferring energy to projectiles and then killing them through projectiles has been absorbed by some magicians. These magicians have created guns based on powder guns, which are powered by elemental power, but to put it mildly, they are usually much less powerful than powder guns, much worse than the Glock in Su Wen's hand, and a little better than bows and arrows.

Although black powder is not valuable, the fire elemental explosion speed after it is ignited is extremely high, if a mage wants to achieve the same effect through his own ability, at least he must have the ability of a high-level mage to be able to do it. Therefore, the magic gunner seems to be powerful, but it is not so powerful, and many times it can only make a fuss about the bullet itself, such as rune bullets, elemental bullets and even expensive magic breaking bullets, but because of the lack of kinetic energy, no matter how much you change your tricks, you can't change the fact that your foundation is weak. If the magic spearman wants to really exert his power, it is at least at the level of a high-level magician, but the other professions of a high-level magician also have their own merits, so it can't help but be overshadowed.

Returning to the present, Su Wen couldn't figure out for a while whether the long-barreled shotgun on this person's back was an ordinary powder gun or a magic gun for magic spearmen. It's just that there is not much time at this time, and the giant screen in the safe area behind it will shrink to his body in ten seconds, although looking at the appearance of the person downstairs strolling around, you can know that even if you are excluded from the giant screen, you may not be eliminated for a while, and you may just get the debuff that continues to lose blood, but your own blood volume at the bottom, and without any blood volume recovery ability, I am afraid that I can't hold it for even half a minute......

It would be too cost-effective to be eliminated in that way, and it would be impossible to bypass a few streets and enter the safe zone in a short period of time. The only way to do this now is to take advantage of the fact that this man has not yet discovered himself, take him out with lightning speed, and then sprint straight towards the west in the circle.

There was no time, Su Wen continued to inject energy into the scroll, and the raging water element was about to condense into sharp ice picks in 0.5 seconds......

But at this moment, the person who was rummaging through the relics on the ground suddenly raised his head and smiled at Su Wen.

"Ice Arrow, if you take out the four-ring magic, I might still dodge, but you use this against me, isn't it a little too underestimating me?"

“......”

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a second.

Then, without saying a word, Su Wen retracted his head, put away the scroll, and turned around towards the roof of the west is a sprint, with the help of a strong physique, he can take three or two steps to close the distance from the street under his feet.

It turned out to have been discovered a long time ago.

Excuse me......
