Chapter 34: Barrett
This sniper rifle has a name for itself, it is called the Barrett Sniper Rifle. Because it was invented by a dwarven scientist named "Barrett", it was named after Barrett.
And speaking of this Barrett, there is an allusion here.
As everyone knows, the dwarven race has studied "dwarven engineering", and all the technology is based on this, and the energy they use is the magic energy that Nangong forcibly absorbed at the risk of his life seven days ago.
Magical energy, on the other hand, comes from an ore that the dwarves named "Magical Crystals". This ore is refined through the unique technology of the dwarf race, and after being synthesized, it is refined into a magic stone.
Magic energy is pure and natural, pollution-free, and high-temperature, high-energy, stable storage, safe, no side effects, and the energy storage is quite large, which is the most suitable energy for dwarf technology.
Not one of them!
Just a small fist-sized piece of magic energy stone can provide a golem with full power for three days and three nights, which is incomparable to any other energy, such as black powder and the like.
Therefore, as soon as the magic energy came out, it directly made a leap forward in the technology of the dwarf race, from a low-level race that could only drill holes and mine all day long, to one of the "nine greats" of the hundred races.
This period is known as the "First Energy Revolution".
It was the first time and the last time.
Since then, magic has become one of the most important components of "dwarven engineering", and every dwarf is proud to be able to learn magic science.
However, Barrett, who happened to be born during the "first energy revolution", was not.
He is a very talented scientist, but at the same time, he is also very nostalgic for the dwarves, so nostalgic that he will not hesitate to risk the world's condemnation, so nostalgic that he ignores all opposition within the clan. It is also necessary to pick up the backward ...... that have long been abandoned by the clansmen
Coal!
To quote a quote from his autobiography, it is: "As a dwarf who witnessed the change of two eras, I will never forget the crackling sound of coal burning until I die......"
"It was an echo of childhood...... That's Mom's whisper...... That's me......
"A lifetime of faith!"
And so it was......
In order to spread the word "crackling" that he believed in, Barrett continued to study his "coal engineering" and was determined to develop a more powerful energy source than magic energy on this basis.
Someday. He wants to step on the shoulders of history, walk out of another new sky, and cause the "second energy revolution"!
Very crazy idea and very inspiring!
There's often a fine line between a genius and a madman, isn't it?
Outcome......
The harsh reality ruthlessly crushed his dreams.
Yes, great dwarven scientists, researchers, old people. Mr. Barrett, he failed.
Coal is coal after all, it is a flammable substance formed by the deposition of trees over a series of thousands of years, and it is impossible for him alone to achieve his expectations in his lifetime, replacing magic energy and becoming a new energy source.
Until his death, he did not fulfill his ambition.
But on the other hand, Mr. Barrett, he was undoubtedly successful. Because he invented "black powder".
In the process of in-depth study of coal engineering, because of a wrong experiment. Let him invent "black powder".
The "black powder" thing...... It's still not comparable to magical energy, but there's one trait that Barrett loves so much - it explodes!
And the explosion was very loud!
If you put a certain amount of black powder, enclose it in a small space, and then ignite it......
Rumble!
This is how artificial thunder was born gorgeously!
Mr. Barrett, it was in the midst of this loud thunder. He returned to the arms of God and his soul rested. Before leaving, he left behind the most proud masterpiece of his life.
A gun.
A double-barreled musket!
A sniper musket that used black powder as an energy source and could fire something he named a "bullet" -- a sniper musket! This was the original form of the later "Barrett sniper rifle."
However, does this end the story?
Not!
Really high, tidal. It began to appear only after Mr. Barrett's death.
After Barrett's death, the other dwarves of the clan obtained his relics, including his recipe for black powder, and his gun.
Then, in an unintentional experiment, someone was pleasantly surprised to find that this black powder could actually be combined with the biological energy in the cultivator's body......
Finish! Beauty! Fusion!
Once the two are fused, they will produce a magical change, which is far more powerful than the original black powder.
In other words, it can greatly improve the combat power of cultivators!
The so-called biological energy, including the true qi and alien power of human beings, the demon power of the demon race, the fighting energy of the beast race, etc., etc., as long as it is the energy that living beings can cultivate, black powder can be combined with it!
It's a perfect blend! a perfect blend!
Say important things three times!
But unfortunately, even unfortunately, this does not include the spiritual power that the dwarves themselves are proud of. It's really his own flowers, but the fragrance is next door, Barrett has studied all his life, and he has made wedding dresses for others.
The heir, however, was not discouraged.
He was very clever and decisive in selling this technology to foreigners. As a result, while earning a large sum of money enough for him to squander for the rest of his life, he also caused a grand ...... in the foreign tribe
Frenzy.
Yes, Barrett's musket was created by the dwarves, but its advent set off a ...... that expelled the dwarves themselves from the Drifting Islands
Crazy, crazy, hot! tide!
Countless cultivators who had no energy to control without a matching divine consciousness were all crazy, crying, and dying for a shot.
As long as you have a gun in your hand, you have divine consciousness or something......
It's all floating clouds!
As long as the energy in the body is fused with the musket, and then practice the shooting technique hard, practice until it blooms, practice until it is perfect, and practice until you can break the left leg of the mosquito without hurting the right leg with your eyes closed......
Then, the challenge of leapfrogging is no longer a dream.
There is a popular proverb on the drifting islands: no matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of big swords. No matter how good the big knife is, it will be knocked down with one shot. That's the situation.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Every cultivator dreams of becoming stronger, and since he can't reach a higher realm due to his own talent, he has no choice but to retreat and pursue more powerful lethality.
And the musket just meets this need.
Even if you are a mortal who can't cultivate, as long as you have a gun in your hand, know how to pull the trigger, and know how to point the muzzle of your gun at the enemy instead of yourself, you can knock down an opponent who is many times stronger than you!
It can be seen how frenetic the frenzy caused by Barrett was.
Later, people took the Barrett musket as the prototype, and developed many new types of pistols, rifles, machine guns, etc., according to the usage habits of the majority of users.
Among them, pistols are divided into revolvers, automatic pistols, semi-automatic pistols, etc., and rifles are fully automatic, semi-automatic, sniper rifles, etc.
Even, intelligent people have developed a heavy weapon specifically for fire suppression, artillery!
However, the power of this cannon is far less than the existing magic cannon of the dwarf race, especially the magic cannon that is known as the most powerful magic cannon, so it is not very popular.
Over time, a unique gun culture was formed, and a new cultivation class was derived from this: gunner.
What roaming gunners, sniper gunners, fire gunners, artillery gunners, etc., have sprung up like mushrooms.
After a long time, various marksmanship began to combine with various foreign arts, and began to come into being.
What headshots, precision shots, ultra-long-range sniping, ejection, refraction, random shooting, gunfighting, making bullets fly, etc...... There are all kinds of them.
To this day, even traditional and orthodox cultivators are embarrassed to tell others that they are cultivators if they don't know how to use two-handed marksmanship.
But it's one thing to be able to play, it's another thing to be proficient.
After all, it's out to mix, and those little tricks that fill the façade are strong and handsome? The vast majority of orthodox cultivators, as long as they have the conditions, will not give up their cultivation.
However, there are a small number of people who are an exception.
Such people are usually more common in people with a personality similar to Ye Jianzang.
They are obviously extremely talented, and as long as they cultivate step by step, they can reach an extremely high realm in time. However, they just gave up their roots and sought the end, and put many powerful exercises without them, and turned to practice various marksmanship, which is really incredible.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is simply a stupid thing to do when the brain is kicked by a donkey. But in their own opinion......
That's so handsome!
For the sake of this handsomeness, they do not hesitate to give up everything.
If you think about it, you don't need to fight to the death, you don't need to fight bloodily, you just need to gently pull the trigger......
Bang!
By the time you hear the gunshots, you're dead!
When he was done, he blew lightly into the muzzle of the gun...... Killing people is effortless, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Such a heroic posture is intoxicating to think about.
In the face of such temptations, not everyone can resist them.
Later later......
In order to commemorate this frenzy and the founder who set it off, people named it the Barrett Revolution.
Of course, there are also people who prefer to call it ......
Weapons revolution. (To be continued.) )
