Chapter 29: A weapon

Ferro eventually lost his curiosity. He led Chen Hansheng around several houses and came to a forest-side clearing. He pointed to a big tree and said, "Let's take this bibi, and see which of my handgun and your gun is better."
Chen Hansheng said: "How do you want to compare?"
"Just from here we stand, shoot to see how powerful it is?"
Chen Hansheng glanced at the stump about 20 meters away from him. He asked Ferro: "Who will come first?"
Ferro may have been stimulated by the disdainful eyes in front of him, and said in a muffled voice: "Look at me first!"
Chen Hansheng watched carefully how he operated the handgun. Seeing that Ferro did not take any gunpowder, he put a gray metal projectile directly into the muzzle. Then he took out a stick and poked it in. Then he saw that he took a broad bean-sized spar from his pocket and pressed it into the groove at the back of the pistol. Ferro held the pistol to aim while waiting for the magic circle around the groove to slow down. Lit up. When the circle began to flash, he pulled the trigger underneath, and with a bang, the metal projectile blasted out, directly flying a bark in the trunk to make a hole.
It doesn't look like a gunpowder gun in any way. Chen Hansheng had a rough guess in his mind and asked, "Is this the ball shot out with air currents?"
"Of course. Isn't yours?" Ferro asked strangely.
Chen Hansheng was surprised. According to the gun eyes in the tree, this air rifle was astonishingly powerful, far more than the American bald eagle air rifle. The magic world really has its uniqueness.
"No, the guys we use are quite different." Chen Hansheng pulled out his pistol and fired four shots sideways, hitting the top, bottom, left, and right positions of Ferro's shot, forming a diamond shape.
"Let's show you something more powerful." Chen Hansheng backed away about thirty meters, and shot two more shots at the position of fifty meters, both of which hit Ferro's gun.
Looking at the dumbfounded Ferro, Chen Hansheng smiled and said: "How is it? My gun is much better than your hand gun, right?"
Ferro stared at the May Fourth pistol, the envious expression on his face could not be more obvious. He asked impatiently: "Well, can I look at the gun in your hand?"
"Swap," Chen Hansheng laughed. "You teach me to open your hand gun, I will teach you to use my gun."
Ferro hurriedly put his gun into Chen Hansheng's hands. He took a projectile and spar from his leather pocket in his waist and taught Chen Hansheng how to use it.
Old Chen weighed this air gun and weighed a lot. After all, the metallurgical process of these dwarves was still not enough. To ensure the strength of the barrel, he had to make the barrel thick. The outside of the barrel also looks rough, with no sights at the front and rear, and no bayonet mount. Because of the short body shape, the barrel is very long, but the stock is short.
He looked into the barrel. The barrel had no rifling. There seemed to be a cross-shaped socket at the bottom of the barrel, and the bullets stuffed in it were against this socket. There is an air cavity at the rear of the gun. Pull the trigger to open the air cavity with a hammer, so that the compressed air inside passes through the cartridge to push the projectile in front.
As for compressed air, it came from the magic circle above the buttstock.
Under the guidance of Ferro, Chen Hansheng pressed a small piece of spar onto the Fa circle, and the Fa circle began to input air into it.
"When the phalanx flashes, you must stop, otherwise it will explode." Ferro pointed to the air cavity.

"What spar is this."
"Ordinary spar is enough. If the element spar is better, the wind spar is the best and fastest." Ferro said.
"How many times can I shoot in one inflation?" Chen Hansheng asked.
"Three or four times. But every time I inflate, the strength of the projectile is strong enough," Ferro said.
Modern air guns using gas cylinders can shoot dozens of times at a time. Although the ammunition of this gun is heavier and more powerful, the number of uses is relatively reduced.
With a loud bang, Chen Hansheng fired a shot and added a hole to the tree, but the first time he used this gun, he did not grasp the parabola of the trajectory, which was much lower than that of Ferro.
After the gun shot, Chen Hansheng knew that he had picked up the treasure. This time, even if the ruins did not gain much, this dwarf air gun is also a very valuable technology. If the materials are good enough, the production is fine, and the components such as the gun magazine can be combined with the existing technology of the school to temporarily replace the gunpowder guns and solve the difficulty of making gunpowder.
Only, how to get these technologies is worth considering.

Luo Ling and others followed the village head to a stone house on the edge of the village. It can be seen that this stone house has not been built for many years and its appearance is rough and simple.
"Here is the place where those poor people are detained." The village chief asked the guard to open the door and led Luo Ling in. The structure in the stone house is very simple. The door is a long walkway. On the sides of the walkway are cells, each cell is separated by a wooden fence with a thick bowl, and there are dwarfs inside.
These people are old and young, but they all look terrible, their clothes are worn and dirty, and they lie on the ground one by one.
"They will still be noisy at first, and then found that we will not open the door anyway, so it will be quiet." The village chief said.
Elena released the detection magic again, and looked at one cell after another. Elena shook her head while looking at it. She said: "No, these people have no grudge themselves, they are all ordinary people. We can't help like Pakistan. Bick treated them like that. "
"Is there really no way?" The village chief sighed. "But they are indeed ordinary people. These evil spirits are timid mice, and they only dare to bully those weak ones. If you are a warrior like Barbic, don't drink After drinking, you will die, and you will not hear the evil spirits. We really want to smash into that ruin and wipe out all these evil spirits! "
"Village head, don't be discouraged. Maybe we can find a way to save them when we open the ruins." Luo Ling comforted.
"Ling, I found something special. The evil spirits that control these people are surprisingly consistent. Their shapes are almost exactly the same." Elena said. "You know, ghosts and the like are like people who are tall and short. Like fat and thin, each is different. Even because they are not bound by body, the difference will only be greater. But these evil spirits are not, just like
"It looks like it has been handled by someone and it becomes exactly the same?" Luo Ling said.
"Yes! That's it." Elena clapped her hands. "It's like they are all sculptures made by someone in the same way."
"It seems that all answers have to be found in the ruins."
