Chapter 32: The King and the Queen

Valjean said he was going to give Leo a gift in return, and he left the room quickly, and after a while he saw him coming in from the outside with a beautiful box.

However, when Martin saw the box, his face changed suddenly, and he greeted Valjean, and said solemnly: "You can't do this?"

"That's what I'm going to do. Valjean pushed back mercilessly.

"It's not yours. Martin said solemnly.

"No, it's mine. Valjean confronted each other and said, "Don't forget, you were there when the old man died, and he said that I would leave this thing to me, and that I would now give him to this Monsieur LÊo Dodd, and it would be in accordance with his last wishes." ”

After speaking, Valjean stretched out his hand to push Martin away, walked to Leo, handed over the box in his hand, and said, "See if it is what you want?"

Leo didn't hesitate to accept the gift because of Martin's attitude, but he was even more curious about the contents of the box because of this strong opposition.

He took the box unceremoniously and opened it directly, only to see that the box contained two exquisite guns and daggers, and at the same time, Martin's breathing increased a lot when he saw these two guns.

Leo was stunned for a moment when he saw the two guns in the box, the reason why he seemed a little surprised was not because of how strange these two guns were, but because they were so normal.

Although he had seen a lot of guns in this world, most of those guns were very strange, either with some seemingly useless decorations, or to complicate the firearms with some complex gear mechanisms, even the breech gun he was carrying on his back inevitably had these world-style characteristics.

But the two guns now in the box seem to be very simple and simple at first glance, and apart from the large number of patterns engraved on the surface that look like they are used for decoration, there are no other gears on the guns that Leo also understands the function of.

The overall shape of the gun looks very similar to the python revolver in the old earth era, but the barrel is thicker and larger than the python revolver, almost larger than the revolver that is loaded at the back, and it feels a little top-heavy, and it takes a lot of strength to hold the gun with one hand for a long time.

Seeing the barrels of these two guns, Leo also understood why Valjean had the idea of thickening the barrels.

However, what is often seen on the surface is not necessarily the whole story, and when Leo takes out one of the firearms to carefully inspect the parts of each part of the firearm, he finds that his previous simple and simple judgment of this firearm is completely wrong.

The barrel of this firearm is not a solid barrel like the flintlock cannon designed by Valjean, but rather a hinge mechanism that Leo could not understand. Through a rough analysis of the secondary brain system, the effect of this hinge device after it is fully operational, probably is to make some irregular patterns similar to rifling appear on the inner wall of the gun chamber.

Even if Leo is not an expert in antique thermal weapons, it is easy to see that these patterns will not provide any beneficial help to the power of the firearm, except for the undesirable side effects of hindering the bullet's propulsion, changing the trajectory of the bullet, and causing a low hit rate.

If you extrapolate from common sense, Leo would definitely think that these two guns are definitely two failed works, but judging from the conversation between Valjean and Martin just now, it is clear that these two guns are not as simple as they see with his eyes.

So Leo asked Valjean, "Can I try it?"

Valjean said bluntly: "Of course, I said that this set of weapons was given to you as a return gift, and you can try whatever you want." ”

"With what ammunition. Leo asked again.

"Standard special cartridges will do. ”

Leo looked at the revolver, and saw that he could not move out of the barrel, but could only manually reload through the fully exposed magazine hole on the side of the gun, as in earlier revolvers, and turn the magazine until five rounds were loaded.

"Wait. Just as Leo was about to shoot, Valjean stopped for a moment, and then he found another wooden figure and placed it on the opposite side, and brought uh a new steel plate and placed it on the back of the wooden man.

Seeing Valjean's approach, Leo was a little puzzled, because he was completely arranging the target area according to the power of the flintlock cannon just now.

While in the Black Forest, Leo tried to kill several prey with special bullets, and was well aware of the power of such bullets. Perhaps because of the addition of a stabilizer of high-energy substances, the bullet can be fired at any time, but the same stabilizer also weakens the power of the bullet after it explodes.

For example, the red-striped leopard he killed, if it was not directly attacking the weak spot of the eyeball, but attacking the skull of the red-striped leopard, the power of the special bullet would definitely not be able to penetrate the skull of the red-striped leopard.

It can be seen that the power of special bullets is not very large, and if it is not guaranteed to be excited, special bullets will not have any value.

However, the kind of projectile gunpowder that Valjean improved fully demonstrated the power of a small cannon, more than ten times more powerful than a special bullet, and now Valjean used the target to test this special bullet with the target of that projectile gunpowder, which can only show one problem, that is, the revolver with a strange barrel in his hand with a special bullet will produce a power that is not weaker than that of a flintlock cannon.

With a guess in his mind, Leo walked to the position where he had tested the flintlock hand cannon, and as before, he raised his gun and fired five shots quickly, finishing the bullets in the gun.

"Huh!" Leo exclaimed in his heart, not because he saw that the special bullet had crushed the wooden figure and cracked the steel plate like the steel balls fired from the flintlock cannon, nor because he didn't feel any recoil from the pistol, but because he was shocked because of the data analysis results revealed in front of his eyes.

"Psionic weapons, weapon structure unknown, psionic modules unknown, psionic effects burst. ”

After the appearance of the psionics of the Earth Federation, for a long time, the psionics only used weapons that were no different from ordinary people, and with their psionic skills, the power they produced by using these weapons was far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, as the contact between the Earth Federation and the alien races became more and more and deeper, they found out that the extraterrestrial psionics all had their own exclusive psionic weapons, so the Earth Federation also conducted special research in this area and invested a lot of money, but the results were always unsatisfactory.

The scientists of the Federation were completely confused about why an ordinary weapon or defensive power armor could be turned into a psionic weapon by adding some patterns that looked like decorations? Why did they use the same method to engrave patterns on other weapons, and the accuracy and perfection of the seal were even at the nanometer level, but it was useless at all?

The Federation is eager to reach the mystery of the creation of psionic weapons, but unfortunately the mystery of the creation of this weapon is in the hands of a powerful alien race, although the Earth Federation has occupied a place in the Galactic Council, but compared to this race, it is still as weak as ants.

Therefore, the Federation can only obtain such psionic weapons from other sources, or spend an unusually large amount of money to order them from that alien race, or snatch them directly from other alien races.

Although the exclusive psionic weapons of the looted psionic people of the alien race are not necessarily suitable for human psionics, they are better than nothing.

Leo is no stranger to psionic weapons, as one of the top teams in the Federation's special operations team, he has been ordered to secretly transport psionic weapons more than once, and more than once because he was blocked by the enemy, he had to take the psionic weapon out of the container, change its appearance, and smuggle it back. Therefore, a biological weapon like him, who did not have any psionic talents, came into contact with psionic weapons far more than those psionic beings, which also gave his secondary brain the opportunity to record some characteristics and details of psionic weapons.

Leo was surprised when the sub-brain system discovered that the gun in his hand was a psionic weapon, but he did not doubt the judgment of the sub-brain in the slightest, because when he fired, the innate instinct derived from the will to fight had already made him see the difference in the gun in his hand.

This is also the reason why he wasted his precious special bullets and fired continuously, and only through the will to fight triggered during continuous firing could the auxiliary brain system collect enough recorded data for analysis, so that he could discover the secrets in this gun.

Through these data from the perception of the will to fight, Leo found that after the special bullet was activated, it did not show any abnormality, but when the bullet erupted from the muzzle, the bullet showed an unknown secondary acceleration, which means that the bullet experienced another impact acceleration similar to that caused by the trigger of gunpowder, and then hit the wooden man to produce a burst effect that should not appear.

From this, it is not difficult to analyze that the process of change of a special bullet is between the bullet entering the barrel, from the barrel of the gun, to the muzzle of the gun, and this process is completely closed, and the talent of will to fight cannot have an effect on it.

However, even without the talent of will to fight to assist the secondary brain system in collecting data, Leo was able to speculate on what kind of changes the bullet underwent in the chamber according to normal reasoning, so it is not difficult to determine that the special pattern rifling formed by the combination of gears in the chamber is the main reason for the change of the bullet.

Thinking of this, Leo, who had his back to everyone, activated his spiritual vision and looked at the gun in his hand, and sure enough, this firearm was surrounded by a spiritual energy, just like the spiritual energy wrapped around Martin's body.

It's just that what makes him feel strange is that according to the strength of the psionic energy wrapped around the gun's body, his secondary brain system should be like discovering the high-energy substance contained in a special bullet, and the moment he takes it into his hand, he can find its difference.

But the fact is that after he used the firearm, he analyzed the abnormal performance of the firearm during the firing process and compared it with the psionic weapon data collected in the past, and analyzed that the firearm was a psionic weapon.

This kind of situation has also been encountered in Martin's body, and he is also unable to perceive the spiritual energy wrapped around his body directly through the handshake, and needs to use the spiritual vision skill to see.

It's just that Martin is a human being, a living thing, but this firearm is a dead thing, and the two have nothing in common, or something that Leo has not discovered for the time being. And this unknown commonality may be the reason why Leo is unable to discover the psionic energy of these living or dead creatures through contact like other high-energy substances.

After testing the firearm, Leo was speechless for a long time, and the people behind him thought that he was shocked by the power of the firearm and did not bother.

It's just that the expressions of the three people who are bystanders are different. Although Jason was also surprised by the power of this firearm, he had no other ideas, just glad that Leo had such a weapon.

Martin, on the other hand, showed a strong look of jealousy without concealment, and at the same time, his greedy eyes also looked at the other firearm in the box on the table, but he quickly recovered, holding back the distractions in his heart, but his face could not hide a smile with other intentions, as if it was planning something in his heart at this moment.

On the contrary, Valjean's expression was the most strange, he did not feel regret and reluctance for the loss of a powerful weapon, but showed a look of relief as if he had sent away some kind of henchman.

"Does this gun have a name?" asked Leo, who had detached himself from the data of the secondary brain system, suddenly turning to Valjean.

"This gun in your hand is called the king. Valjean said.

"King?" Leo was stunned, lowered his head and swept the king's crown on the handle of the gun in his hand, and then looked at the other left pistol in the box that was exactly the same, but it was loaded on the right side, and said, "This gun is called the king, and that gun should be called the queen, right?"

"Yes. Valjean nodded.

Leo smiled, walked over to the table, replaced the king with the queen, then stuffed a special bullet, and walked to the place where the gun was tested, and fired a shot at the steel plate behind the broken wooden man, which was not completely damaged.

The effect of this shot did not attract the attention of the three people behind him, but Leo felt abnormal, because the psionic effect produced by the queen's shot in his hand was completely different from the psionic effect of the king just now.

The psionic effect of the bullet given by the king just now is to burst, and after hitting the target, it bursts like thunder, causing devastating damage to the target, but now the psionic effect of the bullet given by the queen in his hand is indeed penetrating.

The moment it hit its target, the queen's bullet was so penetrating that even the steel plate behind the wooden figure and the thicker steel wall behind it could not stop the bullet from penetrating, and the bullet penetrated the steel plate as effortlessly as a red-hot iron rod pierced through frozen butter, leaving only one bullet hole in the two steel plates that was only one circle larger than the circumference of the bullet. This was only what he could see, and according to the final castration of the bullet, he suspected that the bullet still had the strength to penetrate the other plates after it had penetrated the two steel plates.
