Chapter 437: Revolution in weapon technology

Tang En turned over with a dwarf musket and looked up.
Croto laughed: "Oh, my friend, this thing should be relatively new to you. You have to be careful, it's not that simple-uh-"
Croto suddenly saw that Tang En was skillfully filled with gunpowder and projectiles, and then aimed at the outside WoW and aimed and fired, as if something had got his throat stuck, his eyes were speechless.
Feeling the recoil from the musket, Tang En frowned slightly. The composition of gunpowder in this world is not the same as that of earth ’s gunpowder. Clotto used them to make fire medicine not monosulfur, nitrate, and three charcoal, but Utilizing a more efficient combustion material, it is unknown whether this world's energy concentration is high or because this combustion material has higher combustion efficiency. The power of the gunpowder used by the gnome is much stronger.
Tang En nodded secretly, no wonder that this rude musket bullet can penetrate such a hard bone shell, it turns out that gunpowder is different.
It stands to reason that this gunpowder is so powerful that it should have great potential to be digged ... Tang En suddenly thought of the unknown energy of the dwarf's degenerative rays, and he "hehe" in his heart, the technology tree is distorted like this, and I hope they can Do normal R & D?
He shook his musket and said, "The power is good, but don't you think this reloading is slow?"
The potential of the dwarf musket is now limited by the front-loading method. Tang En felt that if he gave Croto a hint, he might be able to reload the rifle after two days or even issue assault rifles.
Croto shrugged: "It's very slow, so we have developed multiple sets of firing. When one set of shots is fired, the other two are reloaded to ensure each round of suppression shots."
"If you play against the Rangers, your arrows have pierced your heads before you fired a second bullet."
Tang En pointed at Klotto's brain and made a gesture. In the high magic world of Prendall, ordinary hot weapons cannot hit the Apocalypse, and the threat to the Apocalypse is basically zero, but in contrast to an Apocalypse Ranger, they shoot arrows. The speed can reach more than ten rounds per second in an explosive situation, even faster than a pistol on the earth-you can believe this speed?
Compared to the slow-loading musket, the ranger can use various archery techniques to hit the musketeer at the moment when he avoids the bullet. The two sides are not comparable at all.
The only advantage of a musket is that it does not require cultivation. After a short training, even ordinary people can use it.
Croto said unconvinced: "Before the Rangers attacked us, the dwarf degenerate rays had turned them into idiots, and even the dwarf frozen rays could restrict their movement."
"Well, if you can hit them."
Tang En nodded, so Croto had nothing to say.
Tang En shook his musket: "Speaking of which, apart from group shooting, haven't you thought about improving the craft?"
Croto's eyes lit up: "Why not! The mini shark in your hand is the upgraded version after I carefully designed the rifling and re-sized the projectile."
"Fans, mini sharks ..."
As soon as Tang En's mouth was drawn, it was embarrassing to say that this shooting speed was a mini shark?
Tang En casually said: "Actually, when I just saw you shooting, I suddenly had an inspiration."
Croto looked at him with excitement, and just when Dunn talked about it, Croto knew that the guy had properly thought about it: "What inspiration !?"
Cloto now has no doubts about Tang's engineering accomplishments. He is pretty sure that Tang's ideas can definitely transform the gnome musket. The desire for advanced technology makes him hold Tang's thigh tightly, like a The same is true of students who are hungry.
Nokia covered their eyes and couldn't bear to see Master Croto look like this.
"Can you let me go?"
Tang En looked at Croto with a speechless expression. Croto sneered and let go of him. Then, Tang pointed at the connection between the rifle and the barrel and said, "Have you ever thought about it, if you cut this off, If you make a connection point and load bullets from here, how much efficiency will it increase? "
"Fill from the back?"
Croto stared at the rifle, and the original structure of the rifle quickly emerged in his mind. The disassembly evolved as prompted by Dunn. The welded gun barrel and the were separated from each other, and then folded down in half. The projectile came from behind. Loading ...
Croto suddenly exclaimed, "That's how it works!"
Tang En shrugged, and the progress of the project is like this. Many innovations are only a hint. As long as it is thoroughly explained, it is nothing.
Nokia quickly said: "After my calculations, after the reloading transformation, the shooting efficiency can be doubled at least!"
"Double? At least double!"
Klotto was excited, and he didn't care about the fiery outside. He took out the pen and paper and started to calculate: "If you are loading from the back of the gun barrel, then you need an active link here. In order to increase the power, the loading port is restored after You must also guarantee a certain sealing effect ... my friend, I may need to buy a batch of rubber gaskets from you! "
Tang En smiled slightly and said lightly: "Rubber may be needed, but the gasket is not necessary. Don't you think that filling gunpowder itself is a very troublesome and inefficient redundant action?"
Croto snapped: "But if you don't even charge gunpowder, how do you shoot?"
"Of course, it's not that you don't need gunpowder, but that you can also fill the gunpowder while loading the bullets."
Tang En said with a smile: "Isn't it more convenient to make two steps into one step?"
Crohn's words drew them into meditation, and Fiona next to him said blankly: "Doing two things at the same time? Is it troublesome? Without the help of spells, the gnome would not have that speed, sure. There must be a sequence. "
Tang En shook his head: "The angle of your thinking is wrong. Think about it from another angle. Why do you have to do two things at the same time? In addition to using spells to increase speed, how can you do two things at the same time?"
Fiona thought blankly for a long time, and shook her head in frustration, she couldn't think of it.
Smiley Tang En doesn't care. This is normal. Many people follow the inertia of thinking when thinking about one thing, so I feel that many things are impossible, but as long as I change the angle and finally figure it out, I will find that it is actually not so. difficult.
If he let himself come, he wouldn't be able to figure it out. Now he can pretend like this because he is standing on the heads of countless great men on the earth.
"My friend, I felt an idea faintly, but I couldn't say it, I felt a layer of mist between me and the truth!"
Clutter painted a mess on the ground, and various gun-shaped structures and parts were reduced and decomposed by him. He stared at the structural drawings of those parts, turning around anxiously.
Tang En sighed and said directly: "If you want to reduce the two steps to one step, in addition to using magic to increase the speed and reduce the time, there is another way to turn the problem that needs to be solved into two steps into one. . "
"Become one?"
"Yes, the two steps are because of the need to refill gunpowder and bullets, but if the refill becomes one, it will reduce the time?"
"But the problem is back before--"
Croto's voice stopped abruptly, staring at gunpowder and bullets, and suddenly staying there.
"It seems you almost want to understand."
Tang En made a shooting gesture at the half-dead Warcraft below the city wall, and said with a smile: "As long as gunpowder and bullets are integrated, this can be achieved naturally."
"Merge into one ... Merge into one!"
Croto frowned: "But how can a bullet be fired ..."
Down was speechless: "How did your missile launch?"
Croto said blankly, "Missiles? There are miniature triggers on them, but obviously not suitable for bullets ..."
Micro trigger ...
Tang En feels that the muscles on his face are jumping. Can the technology tree continue to crook? He sighed and said, "Well, think about it again, what is the purpose of filling gunpowder?"
"Ignite the swell and fire the bullet."
"Yes, in other words, as long as gunpowder plays the role of propelling the bullet, its task can be completed."
Tang En made a few strokes in the air with his right hand, and a simple cross section of the bullet appeared on the ground. He said, "If you use a ductile metal ... such as copper, make it into a shell, and fill it with gunpowder. Then make a bullet and combine the two into one ... "
Dunn looked at Croto, and his hint was obvious enough.
"Mix gunpowder with bullets ... then ignite gunpowder ..."
Croto raised his head sharply: "What about ignition? How does the gunpowder sealed in the copper sleeve ignite? Lead?"
Tang En was completely helpless, and simply said, "Design a miniature lighter at the bottom, fill a small amount of gunpowder, and then improve the lighter of the musket, change to a firing pin, use impact ignition ..."
"Ignition!"
Croto suddenly realized: "In a sealed space, this is the only way! But ..."
Croto frowned: "If you say, the entire musket needs to be redesigned!"
"Isn't this taken for granted?"
Tang En has a mysterious smile on his face: "An advancement in an industry will inevitably bring about an innovation in the industry, but don't worry about it first. Although the later loading is convenient, I think that the step of loading bullets can still be simplified ... "
"Keep simplifying !?"
Croto was completely dumbfounded: "How can it be simplified?"
Tang En said lightly, "Use the magazine."
