Chapter 87: A New Type of Bullet
A vigorous wave of construction and learning lasted all winter.
At the beginning of the new year, although the environment is still icy and snowy, the temperature has begun to rise significantly, and the corresponding learning boom is gradually fading.
In a few months, everyone has read all the knowledge that they are interested in or even not interested in, and then they will choose a certain knowledge for formal cultivation according to their preferences and the depth of their understanding of this knowledge.
David estimated that no one would be able to master some kind of mysterious power for a while, and it was not easy to master the mysterious power by self-study without the guidance of a mentor.
The fundamental reason why Laura was able to quickly learn many hunter skills was that she had mastered the magical power of the Holy Light, and she was able to understand many of the applications of power in her notes more intuitively.
Others don't have this advantage, they can only start from scratch and slowly grope for it.
In comparison, Will Turner's blacksmith has done a lot of work this winter: crafting all kinds of crystal ore weapons, crafting various parts for several scientists, and crafting the pistol that David wants.
Even, on the basis of the original design, Will Turner also used some creativity.
"Crystal powder was also added to the warhead of this bullet, as well as to the charge." Will was holding a bullet that looked indistinguishable from the dot four or five ACP pistol rounds, except that the color of the bullet was a bit peculiar, with a purple glow in the sunlight.
"How's the power?"
David was still looking at the revolver that Will had just built for him. The shape of this gun is still the same as his favorite Revolver pistol, but because the main material is light cast iron, the whole gun has a faint golden color.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the supply of ammunition in the village, the specifications of the bullets were not selected from the original point four or four magnum, but were deliberately made into point four or five calibers - this is a custom pistol with the appearance of a furious hunter.
In this way, all the pistols in the village use bullets of the same caliber, and Will only needs to make a mold of one specification, which is a lot less troublesome.
"You can try it yourself." Will pointed to the target not far away, which had been set up in advance.
Today was the day to test the gun and show off the power of the new bullet, and the target Will chose was a huge rock with thick metal plates hanging from the front and back.
David loaded several purple bullets into the gun, and the specially customized runner could eject the gun from both sides of the pistol, which means that there was a button on both sides of the pistol, and holding the button on the left side would make the wheel pop out of the left side of the gun; Hold down the right side and you're ejecting from the right side.
This design makes it easy for David to use both his left and right hands, and he only needs to press and hold the corresponding button with his thumb and flick the gun body when reloading.
At this time, David held the gun in his right hand, loaded six rounds, and then flicked the pistol, and the wheel returned to the barrel, and then raised the gun to aim at the target.
Bang!
Without any deliberation or warning, David pulled the trigger directly after aiming, and the sound of the pistol firing was slightly different from the previous berserk hunter, and the sound felt more muffled.
This is not the point, the point is that after David fired, the target stone was directly blown into dust, and with his strong vision, David clearly saw that the metal plate hanging in front of the stone was also broken into pieces by a shot.
“……”
A group of people, including Steve, Mark, Eva, etc., were all behind David to watch the test firing, and everyone didn't expect the power of this gun to be so exaggerated.
David looked in the direction of the target, and he saw a lot of metal fragments—the plates that had been tied to the front of the stone; In addition to a few pieces of rubble, there was more fluttering dust - this was the part that had been blasted straight into powder; There was also a fragmentary metal plate that was inserted into the ground farther away—a metal plate tied to the other side of the stone.
Looking down at the pistol, David looked at Will again, he really didn't expect it to be so powerful.
At the moment of shooting, David could clearly feel that the pistol released a fluctuation of holy light when shooting, and the bullet was attached to the holy light energy.
But what caused this destructive power should be the purple energy that bursts out when it hits the target, which means that this powerful power mainly comes from crystal powder. Of course, David did not rule out that it was the interaction of the two energies that had such amazing power. As for the demon-breaking effect attached to the Holy Light, it is unclear for the time being.
Glancing at the Berserk Hunter in his hand again, it would be more appropriate to change his name to the Holy Light Hunter, David was very satisfied with the new gun, and after playing with it for a while, he inserted it into the holster on his waist.
"You made rifle bullets too!"
"Of course." Will pointed to another box next to him, which contained rifle cartridges.
Without anyone reminding her, Sharon had already carried a large thick metal plate to the shooting range, supported it by two stones, and stood up sideways against the two stones.
By the time Sharon ran back behind David, David had already raised the ordinary HK416 rifle that had not been modified in any way, only the bullets that had just been stuffed into the magazine were specially made by Will.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a few bursts, David could clearly see that each bullet could leave a large hole in the metal plate that was at least five centimeters thick.
Then he pulled the trigger and fired continuously, and the metal plate was useless before a magazine was finished.
"Isn't there a flaw to this thing?" David was surprised, he didn't expect Will to come up with such a big killer: "Is it troublesome when making it?" Dangerous or not? ”
"It's not troublesome and it's not dangerous." Will shook his head, he had been tinkering with it for months, and he was pretty sure that this bullet was not much different from making a normal bullet, but with an extra material: "Crystal ore is a very stable material. ”
There is only one drawback: the number of ore is too small.
As Leonard and Mark gradually designed and built various devices that could use the crystal ore, the large crystal ore had to be used as an energy source, and the leftovers left for Will to make the bullets were some scraps, and after making some 20mm cannon bullets, the crystal powder in his hand had been used up.
"That's ......"
David can't solve this problem, the growth rate of the crystal ore is not under his control, and it hasn't grown much after holding it for a few months, two of the two pieces have been made into weapons, and the current crystal ore inventory in Winter Village is only three pieces, and it may be moved by Sheldon and a few people to test new equipment at any time.
"Build as much as you can!" David thought for a moment and added, "The village has left some emergency ones, and the rest of the bullets will be brought to Tirio!" ”
Some time ago, Tirio Furding asked Laura for drawings of Krupp 105mm howitzers and shells used in Germany during World War II, drawings of Garand rifles and corresponding bullets, and drawings of Browning 12.7mm heavy machine guns and bullets.
If nothing else, these weapons are being produced at Ironforge, and Fording has returned to the kingdom of Lordaeron, ready to head to the Valley of the Hearth to face the Scourge Legion.
According to the plan that Fording had previously revealed to David, once the Scourge began to attack, the Ironforge side would use the 'air force' to send Fording's customized weapons to the Hearthvale, and if the crisis was really as serious as Fording said, Ironforge would also send dwarven troops to the battle.
It doesn't seem like Ferding needs to worry about weapons, but David thinks that there is a lot of equipment here, and supporting Ferding is also an indication of attitude.
After removing one hundred and twenty-one rounds of pistol ammunition, David handed the shot casing to Will and then loaded all the rounds into a separate ammo pack.
According to his idea, he doesn't need to carry ordinary bullets, he has enough means to fight the enemy, and he can also use a bow and arrow when encountering ordinary people or wild beasts.
The Holy Light Hunter in his hand is not so much a medium- and short-range defensive weapon as it is a portable heavy firepower. He was actually quite curious, if he ran into a tank, he could blow it up with one shot? Anyway, he was sure that the Weasel ultralight chariot in the village would not be able to resist a single shot.
"Judgment Hammer and this Light Hunter, do you need anything else to bring?" After packing up the shooting range, everyone was concerned about David's trip next, and while Laura asked, she patted the down jacket on David's body: "You must not go out dressed like this!" ”
The new year has arrived, and although the winter village is still a big construction site, the general outline has already come out.
Considering that this year may not be too peaceful, David has already said that he is ready to leave for Iron Tree Fort recently, and if it doesn't go well, he will go to the royal capital.
It is better to return to Winter Town before the autumn harvest, when the surrounding villages may find that their food is not enough, and it is very likely that they will do something to Winter Village.
"Some documents, maybe some gifts."
He really didn't have much to prepare, and as the head of a small village in the most remote part of the kingdom, it was 'impossible' for him to come up with any rare goodies.
"Also, I won't go with you this time, I have something to deal with over there." Laura is still the same adventurous Laura, although the king of the Kingdom of Tiran makes her curious, but she still prefers the latter to the legendary ruins of civilization: "Moreover, I always feel that this adventure is very important and must not be missed." ”
David nodded, knowing in his heart that the Holy Trinity was finally going to be completely cool, and Laura, who had mastered the Holy Light and learned some hunter skills, would become even more difficult to deal with.
Just when David was thinking about how miserable the Holy Trinity was, Steve suddenly came over: "David, there are some things I want to ask you about." ”
