said that he was using Malone as a guinea pig, but in fact, he didn't really use Malone for experiments, and he was the only two magicians in Claire's hands, so it was a waste to use it like this.

Although the magician's system is indeed quite suitable for doing some strange experiments, it is a pity that Claire is not so perverted, and she did not choose this direction in her previous life, and the task given to Malone is to let him find a way to mass-produce the flintlock pistol.

After two days and nights of Claire's struggle, the prototype of the flintlock pistol has been made.

It was not easy to make a flintlock pistol with a very simple process without the help of precise tools, and many times, Claire had to use magic to assist in the crafting, which led him to the idea of simply popularizing the standard unit first.

But come to think of it, Claire still counts.

It's not that the kingdom doesn't have a relatively standard unit of measurement, and although it's more troublesome to calculate with his previous life, there are still some of them.

As for such things as precision tools, it is obvious that scientific knowledge and technology can only be obtained to a certain extent, and it is obviously inappropriate to pull out the seedlings to help them grow. The development of these things has never been achieved overnight.

Seeing Claire take out a flintlock pistol, Malone asked with some confusion.

"Lord Baron, what's the use of this strange magic prop?"

It's no wonder that Malone mistook the flintlock pistol for a magic prop, Claire used a lot of magic methods, and the remaining magic elements naturally couldn't be hidden from the magician.

Claire explained with a dry cough.

"It's not a magic item, it's a musket, a weapon for ordinary soldiers!"

"Weapons?" Malone looked at the flintlock pistol in front of him like a steel pipe and fell into deep thought. "Then why not use a spear?"

Claire was speechless, good fellow, how did you recognize the musket as a cold weapon, the musket is not used like this.

Claire didn't talk nonsense, and immediately demonstrated to Malone how to use the flintlock pistol and his power.

Claire loaded lead bullet and gunpowder into the barrel of the gun, then aimed at a rock not far away.

After the "bang" gunshot, a puff of white smoke came out of the barrel, and the projectile accurately hit the stone, firmly embedded in the stone for more than ten centimeters.

"This?" Malone's eyes widened, and he was completely startled when he saw the power of the musket for the first time. If this projectile hits a person, I'm afraid it can be directly pierced. Even if it is ordinary armor, it is estimated that it will be difficult to block, unless it is enchanted armor.

Imagining the picture of a group of ordinary people holding this kind of weapon and surrounding the professionals, Ma Long felt that it would be difficult to survive without high-level strength.

Although he still didn't understand the principle of the musket, Marlon realized that the value of this weapon was probably even more powerful than the crossbow that the nobles forbade using, after all, ordinary crossbows were not that powerful.

Such a weapon is a complete nightmare for professionals, and it may change the status of professionals. What's even more terrifying is that ordinary people have such weapons, which will seriously shake the ruling system of this world, that is, the position of professionals above ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Ma Long hurriedly dissuaded.

"Lord Baron, this weapon must not be equipped for ordinary soldiers."

Claire was a little surprised, this reaction is not right, normal development should not be, congratulations to the lord for having such a powerful weapon, he should have equipped the army earlier, and by the way, he persuaded himself to sweep the continent.

As if seeing Claire's puzzlement, Malone hurriedly explained.

Through Malone's explanation, Claire understood the other party's concerns.

The transcendent system of this world, the so-called professional path, although on the surface it is relatively fair, everyone has the opportunity to become a professional. However, due to the difference in the resources at their disposal, the difference in the proportion of nobles and commoners who became professionals was quite large.

In an aristocratic family, as long as it is not a real waste, even an ordinary noble child, with the help of the family, it is not difficult to become a low-level professional. As for the commoners, generally speaking, the number of people who have become professionals is not even one percent, compared with the proportion of the aristocratic group is almost eighty or ninety, this gap is not ordinarily large.

The bow and crossbow are actually a similar weapon, but because of their simple use and strong power, even untrained ordinary people can cause damage to low-level professionals in sudden situations.

As a result, the aristocratic class completely banned the use of crossbow arrows for their own interests, and the crime of possessing crossbow arrows was heavier than the punishment for murder for the common people.

Even if the nobles secretly hid some crossbow arrows, they would not use them in ordinary wars, otherwise they would face punishment and condemnation from other nobles.

After all, it is closely related to the interests of every nobleman.

The only place where crossbow arrows can be used on a large scale is when the kingdom fights with foreign countries, and most of the time, crossbow arrows, the most sharp weapons in the kingdom, are still used to bully the beasts.

At the moment, the power of the musket will not be less than that of the crossbow arrow, and Malone is naturally worried that the appearance of the musket will lead to the opposition of the entire aristocratic class.

Claire has already thought about this question clearly.

In the history of previous lives, the same thing has happened countless times every time a new weapon appeared and the threshold was lowered. But the general trend of history is irreversible after all. More advanced weapons will always appear on the battlefield and be used on a large scale.

I'm afraid the reaction of the nobles will be condemned in the short term, but it is very likely that they will directly learn to imitate.

After all, compared to the crossbow machine, which can always be used as a threat, the use of muskets is actually strictly limited, and muskets without ammunition replenishment are no different from burning sticks.

Ammunition is such a thing, I believe that the nobles will have a good storage management system, and people will not easily obtain ammunition.

After telling Ma Long about the shortcomings of today's flintlock pistols, such as its long size, its difficulty in concealing its carrying, its need for logistical supplies to play its role, and its loud voice that is easy to hear, Ma Long's worries disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly, Marlon felt that this was a good weapon.

These shortcomings of the musket kept the nobles safe most of the time except on the battlefield. The advantage of muskets is that they can have a cheap army with decent combat power, and the size of the standing army can even be reduced.

A peasant trained into a qualified musketeer, or even less than a week, in his spare time to train the militia casually, when needed, can pull out an army of thousands of combat power, who is not impressed.

So, Ma Long hurriedly asked some technical details, and then took the musket in a hurry, preparing to study it himself and then find a craftsman to mass-produce.

Looking at the cheering Malone, Claire knew that the first step in the evolution of cold weapons into hot weapons was at least not so much pressure from public opinion.
