……

"Lord, how did you do this?"

After waiting for the guards to leave, Brian finally couldn't help but ask, the musket in Gervais's hand could cause damage to the leather armor from a distance of more than forty meters, which caused a huge impact on his three views, and after Gervais activated the musket, he clearly smelled a strong smell of sulfur in the white smoke.

Others may not be sensitive to these things, but as a good and motivated alchemist, Brian easily grasps the point, and then is very eager to understand the principle of this, if he can't know the answer, the question will always remain in his mind, itching.

"Hehe, Brian Alchemist, your curiosity is a little heavy, but it's okay to tell you, the principle of this weapon is to push the projectile out through a substance, an instantaneous burst of power, and cause damage to the target!"

Brian is now wanted by the whole principality, and can only live in his own territory, and he is not a scheming person, otherwise he would not be so harmed by his friends, and Gervais is not worried that he will leak secrets, so he does not hesitate to tell him the principle of the musket.

Besides, even if the principle is known, no one can imitate muskets without nitrate to produce gunpowder.

Hearing Gervais's explanation, Brian's eyes lit up and his face was happy, Gervais's theory opened a door for him, although the alchemists of this world are mainly engaged in strengthening weapons, but in addition to strengthening weapons, some self-motivated alchemists are more like scientists, specializing in the study of various substances and the principles of various heavens and earths, so Brian can play the profession of a doctor so professionally.

"My lord, is this substance you talking about just relying on the energy generated by the explosion of flames?"

Gervais lit the arquebus, and the moment he pulled the trigger, Brian also saw the gunpowder ignited, and immediately guessed what kind of energy the musket relied on.

"Sure enough, you're a good alchemist, Brian, you're smart!"

Gervais nodded, and did not hide it, these things will be known by outsiders sooner or later, after all, the guards will still use it at that time, as long as they are not stupid, they can know that the gunpowder will burn violently, and the projectile is launched by this force, he only needs to keep the gunpowder and nitrate, as well as the production process secret.

"Lord Lord, I'm not as good as you!"

Brian looked down at the big pit on the side, he had heard some of the words the guards had just heard, and he knew that this pit was left by something from Gervais's experiment, which made him ashamed.

He improved the enhanced paint so that the enhanced inscriptions could be made smaller, but that was also based on the previous generations, and Gervais created a miracle himself.

"My lord, I see that you still need to ignite this weapon before you can use it, if there is an enemy, it is not particularly cumbersome, and it is impossible to use it in rainy days."

Gervais reloads ammunition and ignites the arquebus, and Brian looks carefully, understands the principle of the musket, and points out the biggest drawback of the arquebus, which is unavoidable for this old-fashioned musket.

"If your lord doesn't mind, can you show me the musket? I think I'll have a good suggestion! ”

"Oh? Of course! ”

Hearing Brian's words, Gervais became excited, if Brian really had any way to solve this drawback, it would definitely make the musket sharper.

After speaking, Gervais handed the musket to Brian without hesitation, waiting to see if Brian could really surprise him.

After receiving the musket handed by Gervais, Brian stroked the barrel of the musket as if he had seen a rare treasure, checking the parts from time to time, and Gervais did not urge, just waited quietly for Brian on the side, and waited for a long time, and after Brian carefully examined each structure of the musket, Brian finally spoke.

"My lord, in fact, you can strengthen this musket, I want to engrave an inscription on this barrel that can generate heat, and when you need to activate it, you can directly use the inscription to activate it, so that you don't have to use this ignited rope to ignite this substance."

"Strengthened?"

Gervais's eyes lit up at first after listening to Brian's words, but then he frowned again, this suggestion was a surprise, but it was only a small surprise.

Since Brian said that strengthening can replace the fire rope to ignite the gunpowder, Gervais believes it, but Gervais thought of the high cost of weapon enhancement, and feels that this method has limitations and must not be popularized, so it will not help the overall strength of Gervais's guards.

"Yes, my lord, it's strengthening!"

Brian frowned when he saw Gervais, of course he knew which aspect Gervais was considering, so he continued to add: "My lord, it's very simple to use its practical inscription to stimulate this substance, just now I saw that this substance was easily ignited by Mars, so if you just do this, you don't need to need complex inscriptions like other weapons and equipment, you only need to use a single simple rune to do it, the principle is like this......"

Gervais listened to Brian silently, and when Brian explained how he had come up with the solution, Gervais finally understood what Brian wanted to do.

It turns out that Brian wants to engrave a simple rune on the end of the barrel, and then extend it to the trigger, and the inscription can not appear broken if it wants to produce an effect, it is by taking advantage of this feature, when it is ready to fire, the firing pin connected to the trigger is disconnected from the inscription, and when the trigger is pulled to be excited, the inscription on the firing pin and the inscription on the barrel are combined into one, and the inscription produces an effect to emit high temperature to ignite the gunpowder in the barrel, so that it can be used instead of igniting the gunpowder with the fire rope.

And there is another advantage of using this method to control the excitation of the musket, that is, there is no need to open a small hole in the bottom of the barrel, and the entire barrel is closed except for the muzzle, which can not only allow the musket to be fired in rainy weather, but also increase the power of the musket a little.

"Brian, you're doing a good job, but even with the simplest inscriptions, I guess it's not cheap to strengthen a musket like this."

After thinking for a while, knowing the benefits of Brian's transformation, Gervais asked.

"Ahem...... Lord Lord, it's a little expensive, if you really need to strengthen it, you need at least 1 gold coin, which is already the cost price. ”

"1 gold coin, almost! I'll come to you in two days to strengthen it and test it out! ”

A gold coin is still a lot of money for Gervais, but Brian's thinking made Gervais open his mind, since the inscription can be used when the gunpowder is activated, what about other aspects? For example, increasing power, or improving accuracy, Gervais knows that the effects of enhanced inscriptions are varied.
