Chapter 17: The Wonderful Use of the Forge
"Xiaobai, I want to use the forge to make some drawings, what should I do?" Leng Xiyue found Xiaobai lying on a beach chair from nowhere by a river to enjoy life and asked for advice.
Xiaobai didn't answer her question directly, but just asked, "Do you know why the soul space is also called the spirit space?" ”
Leng Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the beach chair where Xiaobai was lying, seemed to have some enlightenment, and lowered her head and pondered.
A moment later, as soon as Leng Xiyue stretched out her hand, an AK47 appeared in her hand.
"Comprehension is good, in the soul space, everything you imagine can be summoned out of thin air, just like in an extremely lucid dream, you will also get real feedback, and the chaise longue under me is a truth, its essence is an extension of your consciousness, only the soul ring and things like me in the form of a soul body can be brought in in a real state."
"Well, I roughly get it." Leng Xiyue nodded, and then continued to test the AK47 in his hand.
She is clear about the specific effect and general process of the firearm, but she can't remember the structure inside, so although the AK in her hand feels like a real gun, it can also fire bullets, but the overall feeling is more like a simulated model.
However, with the function and specific image, as well as the corresponding output method, the rest should be left to the forge to perfect.
Leng Xiyue tried to submit her idea to the forge, and soon got feedback from the forge, she felt that something was more in her mind, and the AK in front of her became more and more clear in her eyes, and she already knew every part of it.
As soon as her mind moved, the AK in front of her instantly disintegrated, and various parts floated in front of her.
With a second thought, the components were quickly assembled according to her idea, and they were soon restored to their original state.
If these parts are manufactured in reality and assembled according to the method just now, Leng Xiyue is sure that a real AK47 can be restored in reality.
The existence of the forge is like a supercomputer, automatically deducing the original structure of this item envisioned by Leng Xiyue, the more detailed it is, the more appropriate it is, even if the restored structure is different, but the function must be realized in strict accordance with Leng Xiyue's assumption, and it is also the optimal solution under the corresponding resource constraints.
However, since it is a reduction, it also means that if the impression of a certain product is not deep enough, the forge will not give the slightest feedback, such as a nuclear fusion engine, Leng Xiyue tried to imagine a description of the nuclear fusion engine, but because she is completely ignorant of the output method, energy conversion process, and structure, and only knows the final effect, such a complex product cannot be directly perfected through the forge, like a nuclear bomb or something.
This also means that most of the products in two-dimensional and sci-fi games cannot be realized, after all, they are all fantasy things and have no theoretical basis.
It is also like a nuclear fusion reactor, if she is a cutting-edge scholar in this field, and puts her theory into practice again and again through the forging furnace, she will definitely get satisfactory results.
It's like an auxiliary device to make up for herself, after all, she actually still has some knowledge, and she used to be more fascinated by games like battlefield, steel ambition or civilization, and unconsciously made up the corresponding history and weapon development process, like airplanes, tanks, warships, and so on.
With the auxiliary function of the forge, it is also possible to restore these equipment that are not very high-tech or familiar, and you can also find ways to carry out localized research to improve its applicability, and vehicles that need an engine can also try to modify it into a soul-driven model, and replace the work of the engine with a soul master, so as to make up for the shortcomings in the industry.
It's like bullets and cannonballs, if there are no corresponding minerals on the Douluo Continent, then what if gunpowder is also replaced with soul power? The soul master can use soul power to release skills, so soul power should also have explosive ability, right?
These localized projects are definitely not good with drawings alone, and a professional team is also needed to cooperate with the research, but Wuhun City is full of talents, and it should not be a problem to get together a professional team.
At this point, Leng Xiyue hurriedly recalled several models of rifles, but this time the age was even older, World War II, World War I, and even rifled guns in the mid-to-late nineteenth century were restored.
This is Leng Xiyue's money-making plan.
In terms of armaments, there is undoubtedly a blue ocean in the Douluo Continent, it is hard to imagine that now that the civilian aspect has reached such a level, the military tactics are still stuck in the cavalry charge, and the guards and patrols of Wuhun City are also wearing armor, and it is estimated that when the war is fought, it is to raise a knife to cut people, which is no different from the Middle Ages.
Firearms are undoubtedly a good choice to 'help' them improve their state of war.
Of course, Leng Xiyue is not an arrogant person, and he will not think that any firearms made casually can be extremely sought after by people, at least at the level of Tang San Zhuge Divine Crossbow, in order to have the competitiveness to affect the war situation.
In terms of technology, the manufacture of Zhuge Divine Crossbow is more exquisite than that of firearms, and the parts are smaller and more complex, even so, such a complex product can allow the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect to mass-produce, then, the relatively simple structure of the firearm naturally has the conditions to be manufactured, at most, the output is smaller than that of the military factory made by machine.
Objectively speaking, the power of the Zhuge crossbow and other hidden weapons should not be underestimated, the earliest arquebuses and flintlock pistols were cumbersome but did not have the power of the Zhuge crossbow, nor did they have the potential to completely subvert the cavalry charge, so they passed it directly, and started directly from the rifle models in the mid-to-late nineteenth century.
Judging from the insinuating value, if you put aside the factor of the premium acquisition of the big injustice, you should be able to auction a few thousand gold soul coins in the end, even if you lay a single price on a large scale and sell hundreds or thousands of gold soul coins, it should not be a problem, then the market price of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow should be around two thousand to three thousand.
The profits of these two hidden weapons are as high as dozens of times, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to make a rifle that can be made with ordinary steel and sell it for one or two hundred gold soul coins, right?
Although the explosiveness of ordinary rifles at close range is not as good as these two, but the distance is not like those two things to shoot arrows for half a day, for the army, the musket that can support continuous combat is obviously more suitable for installation.
Sell tens of thousands of them first, and then there are some 'small' upgrades in technology, and it's very reasonable to take out the upgraded version and continue to kill the big guys, right?
After all, Tang San didn't have the strength to mass-produce hidden weapons at the beginning, and it would be more than ten years before the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect began mass production, and he took advantage of this time to sell these antique models to the people of the two empires to make money and exchange things, and when Tang San wanted to sell the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, it was estimated that it was his turn to sell AK or MG series machine guns, and the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Dog was not needed.
In terms of sales, it is definitely not a problem, the two empires will definitely spare no effort to develop armaments in order to guard against the Soul Palace, and there is such a weapon that can make ordinary people kill soul masters.
The main thing is to prevent reverse engineering, but since the forge can restore the structure, it should be possible to make some innovations on this basis.
Before that, the most important thing was to advocate the superiority of the new tactic of 'lining up to shoot', giving them the illusion that they could kill the Wuhun Hall in war if they were armed with enough muskets.
In fact, restoring the blueprints of the firearm is just the most basic use of the forge, and this weapon actually has no scientific and technological content, and her ambitions for scientific and technological development must not stop there.
