Sniper rifles, shotguns, automatic rifles, and even pistols, Dao Yuan Supreme has personally experienced it and has a deep understanding of the characteristics of each firearm. And when facing a Great Wilderness Turtle that was even extremely strong in physical defense, he even tested the power of the flat-fire cannon. Looking at the cannonball as thick and long as his arm, whizzing into the carapace of the Great Desolate Tyrant Turtle, blasting countless fragments like crashing into a small mountain, he finally felt at ease with this weapon.

One of the most fundamental ways to increase the power of this gunpowder firing weapon is to use more propellants. The stronger the explosion of the propellant, the higher the requirements for the material of the gun, otherwise it may lead to an explosion. And no matter how high-tech the alloy materials are, even if they increase the strengthening of refining methods, it is impossible to really have unlimited strength.

Therefore, in this case, similar to the development of firearms in the technological world, Ye Zan can only increase the thickness of the pipe to improve the bearing capacity of the gun. As a result, you can't replace all other types of firearms with a single pistol, and there will be a gap in their power, and there will be a huge difference.

The flat-firing cannon is what Ye Zan said to the Daoyuan Supreme at the beginning, a weapon that is more powerful than a sniper rifle, and it can actually be regarded as an enlarged version of the firearm. In addition, in terms of artillery shells, Ye Zan did not show the Dao Yuan Supreme the kind of conventional explosive shells, but used a solid warhead like a bullet, at most with an additional core to improve armor-piercing performance.

Although the explosive shell can be completely created by science and technology, the energy such as the impact force generated by the explosion can actually be regarded as an energy attack. And the "magic resistance" of the desolate beast, to put it bluntly, has an extremely high resistance to energy attacks, and it is not limited to the magic attacks of cultivators, all energy attacks are among them.

Therefore, purely in terms of dealing with wild beasts, the kind of solid warhead that even the technological world eliminated early, is the right choice here.

"Wuji Daoyou, seeing the many weapons of Daoist friends, the old man can really only say that he is convinced! However, please forgive the old man's offense, the old man looks at the structure of these weapons, although the ideas are extremely exquisite, but it is not very difficult to really make them. Don't misunderstand, the old man doesn't mean to belittle, but he is just worried about whether this weapon will be imitated by others. Dao Yuan Supreme pondered his words and expressed his worries to Ye Zan.

Indeed, as the Dao Yuan Supreme said, the technology involved in this firearm itself is actually not very complicated. Not to mention the power of the Dao Yuan Supreme, even if it is replaced by some other cultivators with a little hands-on ability, after seeing the structure of the prototype of the firearm, I am afraid that they all have the ability to imitate the same thing. As for the propellant, Ye Zan used chemically synthesized gunpowder, and others may not be able to follow the example, but it is not completely irreplaceable.

This is not surprising, in fact, many things are like this, the key is not how high and difficult it is, but whether you can think of it or not.

In the world of technology, there are intellectual property protection laws, which protect some of the really sophisticated things, but also some of the things that are just whimsical. But there is no intellectual property in this world, and the only thing that can restrict others from "copycating" is the barriers formed by high-end technology.

Therefore, Ye Zan took out these firearms and sold them to the people of the Great Wilderness Realm, I am afraid that they will soon be imitated by others.

Don't talk about morality, there are no real saints in this world, not to mention the behavior of "imitation" in this world, it is not a shameful thing.

"Thank you seniors for reminding you!" Ye Zan first thanked the Dao Yuan Supreme, and then said indifferently: "However, seniors don't have to worry, if someone really wants to imitate it, then let him just do it." ”

"But in this case, Daoist friend, don't these things that you kindly bring to the Great Wilderness cheaper than those shameless people?" Regarding Ye Zan's attitude, Dao Yuan Supreme still felt a little puzzled.

The Dao Yuan Supreme is the person who inherits the mechanical arts, and this was originally talking about his original deity Divine Machine Supreme, but the two are not really so clear. And the inheritance of the mechanism may be regarded as a inheritance that faces the "copyright issue" more directly, after all, a large part of them is embodied in the puppet of the production mechanism.

The production of physical objects is more likely to bring about "copyright problems", because after people get the physical objects, they have the opportunity to crack and imitate. And those practice cheats of cultivation, although the truth is the same, in this world it will only be classified as "stealing learning". Of course, "stealing learning" is a more serious problem than "imitation", and it is absolutely intolerable to all sects and factions.

In short, on the issue of "cottage", Daoyuan Supreme is more sensitive than others. In the mouths of the people next to him, "copycat" may be a kind of ability, but here he becomes a "shameless person", which is a bit close to the habit of the technological world.

"How much do the seniors think the cost of these weapons made in Xia can be?" Seeing that the Dao Yuan Supreme reminded himself so seriously, Ye Zan certainly couldn't be ignorant of what was good or bad, so he patiently explained the reason to the other party.

Dao Yuan Supreme thought for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "If the cost is ...... Although the materials used in these weapons are all high-grade refining materials, they should not be very rare. If you look at it this way, the old man boldly guesses that the cost of these weapons may be equivalent to a low-grade magic weapon. ”

Dao Yuan Supreme's guess was already as low as possible, but no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't dare to lower it than the inferior magic weapon. In his opinion, although the materials of these weapons belong to the category of "mortal iron", after all, they are made of a mixture of various metals, and their strength is not inferior to that of some refining materials. Moreover, Ye Zan also used some refining methods in these weapons, and it cannot be said that the bullets fired have no magic effect, and even low-grade magic weapons cannot be compared.

However, after listening to the other party's speculation, Ye Zan shook his head with a smile, and did not continue to hang the other party's appetite, and said: "Senior, if you simply talk about the cost, in order to make such a weapon, in fact, it is less than one-tenth of the lower grade magic weapon. ”

"This ...... However, the cost of such a thing is not just the materials, isn't it the energy spent by Daoyou refining it?"

You must know that refining a magic weapon, even if it is just the lowest grade magic weapon, even if it is just a magic weapon that fools people, it will take at least a few days. Although, for a cultivator, a few days may not be a long time, Ye Zan did not want to sell only one or two pieces, but to produce and sell them in large quantities. Even if it only takes a day to make one such weapon, then a hundred will have to be used for a hundred days, and what about a thousand and ten thousand?

"Haha, what kind of energy can you spend in Xia? Seniors have not forgotten, how did you refine the Thousand Miles of Divine Transmission before going down?" Ye Zan said with a smile, mentioning his own means of creating a Thousand Thousand Miles of Divine Transmission.

Ye Zan is on the war fortress, there is a production factory that conveys the gods for thousands of miles, and he has taken the Daoyuan Supreme to visit it before. At first, Dao Yuan Supreme was worried about the "supply" of thousands of miles of gods, but when he saw the automated assembly line, his original worries disappeared in an instant.

And now, hearing Ye Zan mention of the Thousand Miles of Divine Transmission, the Dao Yuan Supreme was slightly stunned, and asked with some surprise: "What do Daoyou mean is that these weapons can also be used like the Thousand Miles of Divine Transmission...... Created by the way of flowing water?"

"Compared with the thousands of miles of spirit, the technical requirements of these firearms are much worse, and naturally they can be made in the same way. The predecessors felt that with this kind of manufacturing method, who else could lower the cost of it?" Ye Zan said quite confidently.

This is the difference between industrial mass manufacturing and manual manufacturing, after all, people are not machines, even if they do it all day long, the efficiency cannot be compared with the machine. And firearms, although Ye Zan has added some means of refining, is far less than thousands of miles of transmission in terms of manufacturing requirements, and naturally it can also be industrialized in large quantities.

"Alas, it's true that the old man is too worried, if you look at it this way, even if someone imitates these weapons of Daoyou, at most they will use it themselves. If you want to manufacture in large quantities and grab the market with Taoist friends, it is simply a practice that outweighs the losses. Dao Yuan Supreme suddenly said.

After all, in this world, everything is still made by hand, and it is all about one person making a thing, and there is no assembly line model of division of labor and cooperation. What's more, this also involves refining, and people generally regard refining tools as something that only manual labor can do, and no one has come up with a way to replace it with machinery.

"By the way, as you can see from the map below, there is a vein not far ahead, which happens to be mined to make these weapons. Perhaps, when Xia and his predecessors arrive in that tribe, they will already be able to sell them a batch of such weapons. Ye Zan was not only discussing the itinerary with the Dao Yuan Supreme, but also to change the topic, so as not to make the other party feel embarrassed on this matter.

"Oh, are you going to send the materials to the fortress?" the Dao Yuan Supreme came back to his senses and asked with some curiosity. After all, he hadn't known Ye Zan for a long time, and he didn't know much about Ye Zan, so it was normal for him to have so much curiosity.

Ye Zan shook his head, raised his hand to sacrifice the jade ball, and said, "In this magic weapon, there is something to make that kind of weapon, so there is no need to send the mined minerals to the fortress. ”

This time, the Dao Yuan Supreme didn't say anything, probably because he was a little hit by Ye Zan. He is a dignified Tongtian Supreme, and the storage magic weapon is just a Qiankun ring, at most, he can show the magic power in his sleeve. But Ye Zan, don't look at it as just the Yuan Shen Realm, there is more than one kind of magic weapon for storing things in this hand, in addition to the Qiankun Ring and the carrying space, and then there is such a jade ball.

Of course, thinking that there was still a war fortress in Ye Zan in the sky of this Great Wilderness Realm, the Dao Yuan Supreme was a little numb. This person really can't be compared with each other, some people just have that luck and chance, they can get such and such things, and envy can't be envied.

Next, Ye Zan and his party continued to move forward, first coming to the vein that Ye Zan said. Ye Zan directly cast a spell to extract all the minerals in the vein and send them to the jade ball space to make firearms. After that, everyone set off again, hunting all kinds of wild beasts along the way, occasionally collecting some minerals, and finally getting closer and closer to the first target tribe.

If you follow the routine of "no coincidence, no book", when Ye Zan and his party came to that target tribe, it was best that the other party was being attacked by the wild beast, and it was almost in a desperate situation. After Ye Zan and the others appeared, they were guns and supreme, helping the other party to defeat the desolate beasts, and finally received the gratitude and warm reception of the tribe.

But the reality is that these tribes can survive in such an environment, and no matter what else happens, at least the settlement must be carefully chosen. Although there is no place to settle where a tribe can live and survive safely forever, it will not be discovered by wild beasts casually.

Therefore, when Ye Zan and his party came to this tribe, this tribe did not suffer any misfortune, and everything was calm and undisturbed as usual. It wasn't until the figures of Ye Zan and others appeared outside the gate of the tribe and were discovered by the person in charge of vigilance that the peace in the tribe was finally broken.

"Someone, not a beast!" the guard in charge of the guard couldn't help but exclaim after determining the identity of the figure in the distance.

"Is it really a human? I haven't seen an outsider for many years!" the other guard even rubbed his eyes vigorously, not because he was excited to see an outsider, but because he was a little surprised and incredulous.

In the Great Wilderness Realm, when there was no Ye Zan's "Heavenly Eye", the wilderness was almost everywhere in the forbidden area of the Terrans. Although some experience is also useful, there are times when it is unreliable, after all, the wild beast is unreasonable. That's why these tribes are islands that are often incompatible with each other for years, even though they are all on the same land.

"I'm going to inform the head of the house and the elders that you must not let them in until you have determined their intentions. A man who was probably the captain of the guard, after admonishing a few of his men, turned and ran into the tribe.

As the saying goes, "you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people", who knows what these people from unknown sources want to do here. Don't think that the living environment is difficult, and everyone can be close to each other like a family, otherwise why would they be divided into so many tribes, each scattered all over the realm.

Ye Zan's side had actually thought of this situation a long time ago, so he did not rush to the tribe to approach, but stopped from a distance, waiting for the people in the tribe to come and ask.

After a while, I saw more than a dozen figures flash in the tribe, all of them with swords and bows on their faces. They didn't even get too close to Ye Zan and his group, and when they were about to see each other's faces, they stopped and quickly set up a formation.

"Don't blame Daoyou, wait for the old man to negotiate with them first!" Daoyuan Supreme was afraid that Ye Zan would feel sluggish, so he hurriedly confessed and took the initiative to take on the negotiation.

"Seniors don't have to be like this, we can understand their approach, after all, it is indispensable to guard against others. Ye Zan said indifferently.
