Chapter 64: Complex Craftsmanship
"What gun does the young man want to buy, and at what price?"
"Do you have any treasures here?" Lin Ming asked.
"Treasure gun?" The guy didn't expect this young man to speak amazingly, the price of a treasure gun, at least 10,000 taels of gold, a good one can easily cost 20,000 or 30,000 taels, this young man has so much money?
In fact, Lin Ming really didn't have so much money, but he could book it and raise the money.
"Shaoxia, we don't have treasure-level guns in our store, but if we want treasure-level swords, there are a lot of them. ”
"Is this ......" Lin Ming was a little disappointed, he didn't expect that there was no treasure weapon gun in the Divine Weapon Hall, and there were too few treasure weapons and guns.
The clerk said: "This treasure-level gun, the number is too small, but the demand is not small, two months ago there was a gun in the store, but it was already booked, and then sold." ”
"Oh, as far as I know, there are very few warriors in the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom who use guns, right, this treasure weapon gun is very sought-after?"
"Well, it's very sought-after, and martial artists are rarely used, but ...... The army will use it, and some generals will buy treasure guns, but because there are too few treasure guns, even some generals with great military achievements do not have treasure guns, and it is difficult for young heroes to buy treasure guns in Tianyun Country. ”
So that's the case, Lin Ming immediately understood in his heart, the gun is the best weapon in the army, since ancient times, all famous generals, eighty percent use guns, and the remaining two percent also use Daguan knives, Fang Tian halberds, etc., which are similar to spears, and there are really few who are famous for their swords.
Marching and fighting, often to horse fighting, at this time the sword is too short, so it is necessary to use halberds, lances, guns, spears and other weapons, and guns and spears are used the most, a gun in hand, even if it is caught in the chaos of the army, you can kill in and out, a long gun, a circle kill is more than a dozen lives, which is the sword, knife, axe and other weapons out of reach.
So sweeping through a thousand armies is a move unique to guns!
Therefore, the generals of Tianyun Kingdom, even if they used swords when they cultivated martial arts, after joining the army, they had to learn guns.
"Okay, this treasure-level gun, let's talk about it later, it's better to buy a better one, the price of a good gun is likely to cost tens of thousands of gold, I don't have so much money now, the money I spent before was taken from Mr. Mu Yi, although the inscription runes I made are worth a lot, but I don't know if Mu Yi really used so much, these days Mu Yi has a lot of trouble, tens of thousands of taels of gold is not a small amount, I can't ask him anymore. What's more, some well-made guns won't be bad, especially my martial arts cultivation is not high now, and it is difficult for me to exert the power of the treasure weapon. ”
Thinking like this, Lin Ming said: "Forget it, show me other guns, you need good guns." ”
"Okay, young man, wait a minute. As he spoke, the clerk turned around and took out a six-point-thick barrel from the camphor wood box, which was black and seven feet long.
When guns are sold in the store, the gun barrel and the gun head are often sold separately, the gun barrel is stored in a camphor wood box to prevent beetles and corrosion, and the gun head is immersed in tung oil to ensure that it is always bright. When guests arrive, they will choose the right gun barrel and tip according to their own preferences to form a finished gun.
"Young man, please take a look. The clerk handed over the barrel of the gun.
Lin Ming took this gun in his hand, its weight was about thirty catties, obviously it was not made of metal, with a force in his hand, this gun was full of elasticity, Lin Ming had no doubt that if he broke this gun into a full moon shape and then let go, he could directly smash the skull of a beast.
This kind of gun barrel, although it is not metal, can cause more damage to people than metal rods.
"How much does this gun cost?" Lin Ming asked.
"One thousand two hundred taels of gold. ”
Rao is Lin Ming had already prepared, and when he heard this price, he was also secretly staggered, just a gun barrel is so expensive, you must know that an ordinary sword treasure is only a few thousand taels of gold. This gun is not a treasure yet. ...,
The guy saw Lin Ming's surprise and explained: "This is made of black silk wood, using the best black silk wood that has grown for hundreds of years, soaking it in mountain spring water for seven seven and forty-nine days to moisten and swell, and then fry it in the oil pan for three days, blowing off the black wood chips and short wood fibers, leaving only the toughest wood fiber skeleton, mixed with the silk of the golden wood silkworm and twisted out, and finally the surface is wrapped with a strip of cloth woven by gold wood silkworm, soaked in tung oil for three years. ”
"Whether it is black silk wood or gold wood silk, it is a precious material that is difficult for swords, coupled with various special processes, this gun will definitely not be cut off during the battle, and it can even break the enemy's sword, Shaoxia can rest assured. ”
This guy's enthusiastic introduction, Lin Ming's heart jumped when he heard it, this inconspicuous gun, the process of making zuò is so complicated, and although the golden wood silk is not as expensive as the heavenly silk, it is definitely worth a lot to use so much, and the black silk wood is also very expensive, not to mention the hundreds of years old trees.
And there are defective products in the production process, such as the fried heat is not mastered, the black silk wood has knots, all of which are not good, and the gun barrel should be as straight as a ruler, and everything that is not straight and uneven is a defective product and must be eliminated, which makes the value of the gun increase a lot.
No wonder it is so expensive, such a gun, ordinary people can't afford it for a lifetime without eating, drinking, and working hard. If this kind of gun falls on the people, it can be passed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom.
The guy said: "The most expensive place of the gun is the pole, whether the gun is good or not, eight points to see the pole, two points to look at the gun head, this gun head is simpler, generally a good gun head is only a few hundred taels of gold, even if the young man chooses the gun head made of moire iron, it is only eight hundred taels, and the total price will not exceed two thousand taels." What does the young man think?"
Lin Ming played with this gun, and he felt a little in love with it, not to mention the elasticity and toughness of this gun, the feel was absolutely first-class.
It's a pity, it's too light!
"What's the point? For example, a gun weighing hundreds of pounds. ”
"Oh?" the guy was slightly frightened, a gun weighing hundreds of pounds requires at least a few thousand pounds of strength to dance vigorously, this young man, does he have such strength?
But doubts, the guy still took out a gun made of pure black iron, this gun is also six points thick, seven feet long, and weighs more than 400 catties.
"The barrel of this spear is eight hundred taels of gold. ”
Although the black iron is expensive, the pure black iron gun barrel is simple to make zuò, so the metal gun barrel is cheaper.
"Shaoxia is light, very heavy. The shopkeeper handed Lin Ming the barrel of the Xuantie gun with some unease, but he didn't expect Lin Ming to turn out that it was like a wooden stick, which was very easy.
This made the shopkeeper's eyelids jump slightly, this young man, what a lot of strength! It's just a humanoid beast.
Lin Ming took the barrel of the gun in his hand and weighed it, and asked, "Is there anything heavier?"
Heavier? Heavier?
The guy was stunned and said, "There are heavier ones, but they're expensive." ”
"It doesn't matter. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Ming slightly lit up the golden ticket in his arms, he still has eight thousand taels of gold on his body now, as long as it is not a treasure-level gun, no matter how expensive it is, he can afford it.
The guy was slightly stunned when he saw the stack of golden tickets, such a thick pile of golden tickets, it was really a rich master! He said respectfully: "Young man, please come with me." ”
After saying that, the guy went straight to the second floor.
