Skar led Oster past a train bed and continued as he walked, "The Stormwind Kingdom has implemented strict rating and control of magical products and items in its territory according to the Kenrito system. Level 3 or above must be reported, and level 5 or above is listed as a prohibited product. Possession or sale of controlled magic equipment is punishable severely, and possession of prohibited items in quantities is considered a conspiracy to rebel and can be executed without trial.

In addition, the government has a monopoly on the teaching and research of magic, prohibiting the study of large-scale harmful spells or any method of making high-precision magic items. The Kingdom Magic Federation has set up magic network monitoring in various places, and once illegal magic fluctuations are discovered, even if the person concerned is used for production and life purposes, they will be immediately arrested and punished.

Under long-term high-pressure control, the possibility of ordinary people learning high-level spells and obtaining sophisticated magic items is almost zero. For a long time, the lower classes had to rely on primitive methods of farming, hunting, digging and forging, struggling with the harsh natural environment, and having to bear the burden of taxes and forced labor to feed the upper classes.

In contrast, the Church and the Kingdom hold the vast majority of the nation's magic and spells, but never produce them. They thought that in this way, the people would never have the strength to resist, and their rule would be restless. However, they have forgotten that even without relying on high-level magic, the people have their own wisdom and the accumulation of their predecessors. ”

At this time, a rune gun had just been assembled on the production line, and Pullman ran to fetch it and handed it to Skar. Skar took the tweak, then handed it to Oster to give it a try.

This combination of magic and engineering has been seen many times before, and not only the rebels, but also the officers and soldiers are heavily equipped and used; That's for sure, even in a fantasy world, where there is a gun in hand, a fool can only take a sword and cut it all day long.

But the two types of firearms, just a cursory glance, you know that there is a big difference in the production process and the effect;

The guns of the official and military standards are bulky and bulky, and their power is weak. Forty yards away, he couldn't wear the armor that Oster was wearing. Some don't even have a barrel, they're just a tool for throwing buckshot or scroll magic. And if you use it once, you have to reload the scroll once, the consumables are seriously wasted, and the shooting accuracy and range power are not much different from directly releasing magic;

The rune gun produced in the workshop of the rebel army in front of him is light and sophisticated, and the workmanship is meticulous. The barrel, sighting, trigger, and butt are all available, except for the runes engraved on the barrel and the loaded ammunition is magic crystal, which is almost identical in appearance to a rifle on Earth. In addition, the specifications of the parts are unified, and the production line is streamlined, which can realize the replacement of the same model and the same part.

In the enclosed area next to it was the test range, and Oster walked over with his gun in his hand and aimed at the target. By pulling the trigger, the magic runes on the handle and chamber activate, and an arcane magic bullet erupts from the muzzle at high speed, piercing the target forty yards away. Oster failed to hit the bull's-eye due to his poor marksmanship, but the whole process was very smooth and accurate, and there was no recoil at all.

Oster couldn't help but open the book and scan it, and he was surprised to find it; The rifle was covered with magic runes and transmitters, and the magic rating of each part was only one or two levels, but the final magic bullet fired reached a powerful effect of power 6, accuracy 5, and range of 7.

I heard Skar say just now that the Stormwind Kingdom follows Kenrito's rating system, and Kenrito, as a human mage organization, actually uses the mortal spellcasting system of the Burning Legion, which should be consistent with the magic level standard of Sashu;

In other words, the magic tools and runes produced in this workshop may not be able to obtain high-grade materials due to the restrictions of government decrees, and all the ordinary materials used are not more than level five, and most of them are below level three; However, relying on clever engineering construction and design, it has achieved a combination of twice the result with half the effort. Not only is it powerful, but it's also easy to use, with four shots from a single reload, and each shot is powerful enough to pierce unenchanted armor at a distance of forty yards.

Oster sincerely admired, "It's really a good gun, the workmanship and power are not to mention, and the operation is simple." The user does not need to cast spells, nor does it require complex training. "For example, a straw bale like him can hit the target the first time he touches it.

Skar said approvingly, "Yes, even if the government has more resources and population, wealth and magic power, it will take a lot of time to train a mage apprentice who can cast spells above level 5, or a hundred-pound archer. Even if it can be used, there are still mana and physical limitations in actual combat. However, this rune gun can be mastered by a farmer with a little training in aiming and reloading, and can be used for a whole day as long as there is enough ammo. This is undoubtedly a weapon for civilians, a force that belongs to the people. ”

Oster believed that even in a world of swords and sorcery, easy-to-use and inexpensive firearms, along with those cannons and bombs, were the deadliest threat to rulers who had always had a monopoly on high-level magic. Looking at the stacked guns on the shelves, he sighed, "If the government knew about this workshop, it would definitely not be able to sleep at night." ”

Skar nodded and said, "The only way to make the knights with tall horses and heavy armor and blades show mercy, or to make the noble archmages who hold forbidden spells and mana crystals that are inexhaustible know mercy, mastering the same armament and violence as theirs is the only way." Only by hurting them and fearing them will the ruler begin to care about the suffering and demands of the people, and guns are the confidence to obtain equality. ”

Oster suddenly thought of a sentence and whispered, "Power comes out of the barrel of a gun." ”

Skar looked back at him in surprise, "Regime...... That's right, we must not only improve our own lives, but also seize power and change the world! You're really not simple, I read that right. Come on, I'll take you to a detailed look at the place where the barrels of our guns are produced! ”

Oster followed Skar and looked around the factory. As mentioned earlier, since the time crossing, he has been deeply interested in the physical rules of this world, and has set up a workshop in his hometown and done many experiments;

His original idea was that as a high-end modern talent who had received nine years of compulsory education, he had traveled to a backward world where magic was still being used, and that was not a dimensionality reduction attack. As long as Xiao Lu has a junior high school level of physical and chemical knowledge, not to mention being regarded as a god, it is not too much to dominate the world and reach the peak of life - isn't that what countless predecessors have done?

It turned out that he was thinking too ...... Much more. In a normal and mature real world with developed civilization and a long history, hundreds of millions of inhabitants have been constantly exploring and accumulating for tens of millions of years, if the principle of leverage has not been discovered, there is only one possibility: that is, the principle of leverage does not work here.
