Chapter 171: The Arquebus Comes Out

"You pass the Morton imp, or you'll have to screw your head off for the sin of waking me up. ”

The man snorted angrily, his bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Morston, and the noble prince trembled a few times visibly.

In the hall, the three of them sat down, and Morston, as the middleman, actually threw the man between the man and himself, and he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't expect that Morston was still scared.

"Just call me Renault. ”

The man was the first to speak, and he actually stretched out his hand to the man.

Naturally, he would not lose his courtesy, and reached out to shake it with him, and suddenly a huge force came from his hand, and he only felt that his hand bones were about to be pinched and exploded.

Just as he was about to break down, Renault let go.

He was sweating profusely, and he could only pretend to be calm for a while.

"Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Renault is also one of the founders of Ning. ”

"Oh! I see. ”

He nodded, still wondering just now, what was the origin of this man, he dared to shout at an earl.

"You've not called me here just to show me, but if that were the case, I wouldn't have left, and I had to be one of those who made this thing. ”

Renault's eyes flashed as if he had seen some peerless treasure.

Now he knows how Morston's novelty-loving personality came about.

"Of course, of course, this arquebus cannot be made without your help. ”

"What should this thing be called?"

"Arquebus. ”

Renault nodded.

"It's not just weird, it's even the name that's weird, but I think your design, that arquebus is a bit of a snake. ”

"Arquebus?"

While the two were talking, Morston, who had never seen the blueprints, took the parchment and looked at it.

"Well, I just learned that the blood source itself can produce high temperatures, but this arquebus is really unnecessary. ”

"Not really. ”

Renault suddenly retorted.

"The people who are suitable for your weapon are that strength segment. ”

"My ideal state is that everyone can use it, and just pull the trigger and it can be extremely lethal. ”

"Then the arquebus is still necessary, the blood source is not so easy to generate temperature, I know what you think, do you plan to let the user directly use the blood source to generate the temperature to ignite the gunpowder?"

Seeing that he nodded, Renault continued:

"It doesn't work, the blood source can't be separated from the body, even if it is separated from the body, it can only be done by a strong person for more than 10 million years, like if we want to use the high temperature generated by the blood source to melt the metal, it also needs the blessing of a special instrument, and this instrument is expensive, and the money of the instrument is enough for you to buy half of the city. ”

"Holy!"

Although when Renault said that this kind of instrument was expensive, he had already prepared for it, but he didn't expect it to be ridiculously expensive.

"And it's too big to fit in, and if you want to get rid of the arquebus, you'll have to find something else to replace it. ”

How could he not know this, if he could find flint, he would not make arquebus, he had asked Morston before that he had never heard of flint, if there was flint, then the pistol was definitely his best choice, the price was low and easy to make, it was much more convenient to use, and it was lighter than the arquebus, but this was just to think about it, maybe you could find something to replace flint later, after all, there are all kinds of strange things here.

"We'll talk about these things later, and now I just want you to see the power of the thermal weapon, and there is a chance to improve it, so how about we let it come out first?"

He stood up, and now everything was a pipe dream.

"Okay! I can't wait. ”

Reynolds' big fierce face showed a rare hint of a smile, although it looked very terrifying.

With Renault's help, there were no technical difficulties in making arquebuses, and Renault used the expensive instruments of the craftsmen to easily melt the wrought iron.

Two days later, in the open space at the back of the castle, a large crowd was gathered, and Onshcona Oone, as the prince's chief chief knight, felt that his position had been challenged, and a little boy who seemed to be weak and weak had become the prince's guardian knight.

Now this tough guy with a star face stood in the middle of the crowd with a low expression, and a coldness surrounded him.

In this first experiment, Morston summoned all the people he trusted, after all, the weapon was still for them to use.

In addition to his chief knight and the old butler Longno, as well as the hunters in the village who have good hands, and some children, he is not afraid of this thing getting out, anyway, it is a matter of time, and the arquebus, as the most initial version, is much worse than the musket in the back.

Of course, these villagers, as awakened ones, will not talk nonsense, they understand their situation, in other words, everyone here is a grasshopper on a rope, and the proportion of black powder is only known to Lun and Morston themselves.

"Your Highness, with all due respect, I don't think this crutch-like weapon can be lethal. ”

When everyone was preparing with great interest, Anshcona suddenly came out of nowhere.

"Onshkona!"

Old Long moved to the side and called in a deep voice.

Apparently he was a bit rude to say that.

"Lord Knight, how about you please read my experiment before giving your opinion?"

His expression was calm, and he even smiled a little, he knew that not only the chief knight but also the prince himself was a little optimistic about this thing, and only Renault was a little interested, and that was also out of curiosity about novelties, not because of much confidence in weapons.

And the reason why the prince called a group of children was so that they could pass on what was happening here to every corner of the town, and only in this way would the prince's prestige rise to a very high position.

Children like to brag about the strange things they have seen, and it is inevitable to add fuel and vinegar when the time comes, not to mention the spread of ten or ten to hundreds, and the weapon will definitely be blown into the sky when the time comes.

The hunters stood aside, occasionally talking about the novelty, speculating whether it would be used as a melee weapon or a ranged weapon, and of course eighty percent of the hunters thought it was a melee weapon.

This arquebus is already an improved version, with a bracket butt, and the power is also much greater, the original range of one or two hundred meters of the musket, I don't know if it can be improved with the materials here, today is also the first experiment.

As long as it doesn't jam and blow up, then everything is easy to say, of course, even if the above situation happens, he doesn't care, after all, all the road to success, there are always doubts and blank eyes.
