Lynn took the long-barreled musket, and after checking it, said happily.

"Good, good, you're moving faster than we thought."

This first battle with the Holy See made Lynn realize the powerlessness of the flintlock pistol against the transcendent army, and that a single large-scale auxiliary magic technique alone was enough to greatly reduce the power of the musket.

If you can't rely on armor piercing to instantly kill close enemies, then the flintlock pistol's poor rate of fire becomes a big problem.

They can't be expected to use bayonets to fight hand-to-hand with the divine punishment army of the beasts per capita, right?

Compared with the flintlock pistol, the flintlock pistol is a great progress, unlike the latter that uses flint ignition to ignite the gunpowder, the structure of the flintlock pistol is very close to that of modern guns, which also uses a hammer to hit the firing needle, fire the primer, and then ignite the projectile from the primer.

The most important thing is that this thing is a breech gun, that is, the bullet is loaded from the rear of the barrel, and there is no need to clean the rifling frequently, and it takes a minute to stuff the lead projectile into the barrel, which greatly improves the rate of fire and accuracy.

If the rate of fire of a flintlock pistol (breech gun) is one round per minute, then even the original rifle (breech gun) can fire more than 10 rounds per minute, and it is not prone to mute fire and moisture.

The advent of fixed ammunition also means that the development of another big killer can be put on the agenda - that is, machine guns!

This is the thing that truly dominates the battlefield!

In the 19th century, machine guns were put on the battlefield and were extremely powerful.

For example, in a war at the end of the 19th century, 50 British soldiers relied on 5 Maxim machine guns to defeat dozens of charges of 5,000 Mactabilis, killing more than 3,000 people on the spot, which can be said to have completely changed the status quo of future wars, ended the history of relying on crowd tactics and cavalry to dominate the battlefield, and pushed the war to an even more tragic abyss.

Lynn didn't want to take out this big killer weapon so quickly, but in the current situation, flintlock pistols and sniring guns alone were not enough to give them enough advantages in a battlefield full of magic and magic.

"I need a piece of paper and a pen!" Lynn said suddenly.

The alchemists present were immediately excited, and they did not slack off at all, and immediately rummaged through the pen and paper.

Because the magic star was also here a few days ago, and he casually drew drawings of the firing pistol and fixed ammunition.

Lynn pondered for a moment, took the quill, and drew on the page with reference to the information of the brain.

Lydia and the others stared intently, for fear of missing any details.

They soon discovered that this time Lynn drew a slightly strange musket, the main body was a thick and round barrel, with a long chain-like thing in the middle, and the bottom was not a butt but a triangular bracket, which looked somewhat similar to a cannon.

"Dean Lynn, what is this? Another new type of musket? Or an improved artillery? Lydia asked curiously.

"I call it a machine gun, which is a special automatic musket, characterized by the ability to fire automatically and continuously, and the rate of fire is extremely fast." Lynn explained.

Automated muskets?

Wilson and the others looked at the drawings in front of them, thinking about the role of each component and the meaning of this automation.

Lynn didn't mean to sell off, and even explained to everyone how the machine gun worked.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of automatic device with a tube retreat, the barrel is floating in the machine gun, when the bullet is fired, the machine gun and the barrel are buckled together, the gunpowder gas energy is used as the power, the chamber is opened through the corresponding parts, the bolt continues to recoil to withdraw the empty cartridge case and throw it out of the gun, and then drive the ammunition supply mechanism to compress the re-entry spring.

Under the action of the spring force, the bolt pushes into place and fires again, which saves the time of reloading ammunition and makes it possible for the bullet to fire automatically.

Alchemists such as Lydia and Wilson, who had participated in the development and manufacture of the musket, quickly understood the entire operation process and couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the design of this new musket.

They had previously discussed how to increase the rate of fire of the musket again, but they basically worked on simplifying the process of loading and firing, but Lynn's method was to let the power generated by one shot of the musket drive the second shot, so as to build a cycle that did not need to be controlled by humans at all......

"What is its rate of fire?" Wilson asked eagerly.

"About 1,000 rounds per minute." Lynn thought for a moment and spoke.

What he came up with was a modified version of the famous Gatling rapid-fire machine gun, combined with the automation concept of the subsequent Maxim machine gun.

It's just that taking into account the weak industrial base of the Alchemy Research Institute, the rate of fire is not very fast, only a thousand rounds per minute.

In fact, it makes no difference whether they are fast or slow, because fixed ammunition is no better than lead bullets, which need to be made manually, and the process is more complicated, and their ammunition supply is definitely insufficient, nothing more than to finish in a few seconds or tens of seconds.

"...... per minute A thousand rounds?! Wilson almost thought he had misheard, could it be a thousand rounds per hour?

You must know that the rate of fire of the musket is already very fast in their opinion, and a skilled gunner can complete the reload every five to six seconds and launch a shot, which is more than ten times higher than the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol!

And this machine gun can only be described as outrageous, a thousand rounds per minute, that is, fifteen rounds per second, which is one hundred and fifty times the rate of fire of a flintlock gun!

What kind of monster is this?

Wilson thought about the scene where fifty machine guns appeared on the battlefield, and in just a dozen seconds, thousands of enemies fell in rows...... I couldn't help but shudder.

"Dean, this is called ...... Which master is the weapon of the machine gun? A wizard couldn't help but ask, they wanted to know, who made such a crazy battlefield killing weapon?

"The man who invented this thing is called Gatling!" Lynn spoke. "Before joining the [Arcane Society], he was a doctor who saved lives on the battlefield, witnessed the cruelty of war and the endless grief and death after the war, and his original intention was to reduce casualties, quickly end a war, and achieve true peace!"

Hearing this, the faces of the alchemists became extremely strange, and they wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Kindness...... This is very reasonable, as long as the enemies are all dead, then there will be peace!

Directly and fundamentally solved the problem of war!
