Chapter 31: Flintlock

　　 I saw that all the weapons spread out in this box are like weapons magnified several times, such as the flintlock which is the closest to Leo, and uses a gear mechanism to build the gun body.
The usual flintlock pistol is at most as long as the forearm of an adult, but this one doubled is almost equivalent to the arm of an adult, and the barrel is thickened and enlarged, and the whole looks like a small arm Cannon-like.
What is even more speechless is that the barrel is obviously enlarged and thickened so much, but the body and handle part are no different from ordinary flintlock pistols, and no matter whether anyone can afford this flintlock Cannon, no one will have the desire to pick it up for the weird shape of this gun alone.
　　 The shape of other firearms is similar to this one, and a more important issue is that all firearms are the firing principle of flintlocks, not the breech guns and breech firearms that have become popular now.
It’s no wonder that Martin will get angry when he sees this batch of weapons, and he does not hesitate to believe that these weapons are unqualified. After all, Martin once worked in the famous Murphy arsenal, even if he can’t access the weapons drawings and other important Data, but also understand the importance of the details of the structure, weight, etc. of any firearm. The firearms in the box are unreasonable at first glance and cannot be used normally.
However, compared to Leo and Martin looking at the weapons in the box silently, Jason seemed very excited, thrilled again and again, squatted down and picked up a firearm similar to the steam crossbow, I tried to hold it with one hand, but found that I couldn't take it. I could only hold it in both hands, imitating the shooting, and made a bang in my mouth.
　　It was just that he didn't wait too long for excitement, and he felt the weight of the weapon in his hand. His hand was a little sour and he had to put it back on the ground.
　　 "Leo, this thing is really exciting!" Even so, he was still very excited and shouted to Leo.
　　 Leo smiled, crouched down, picked up the flintlock gun in front of him, and carefully looked at the structure of this thing.
Compared to the five-barrel flintlock that Jason picked up, the flintlock gun in his hand is much lighter, with his power three times higher than ordinary people. This handgun can be easily picked up, and his physique is more than five times higher than that of ordinary people, so that he has extraordinary staying power and can lift this handgun for a long time like an ordinary handgun.
Seeing that Leo was able to pick up this heavy flintlock so easily, Martin and Jean Valjean both showed surprised expressions. However, the surprised expressions of the two are also different. Martin's surprised expressions are more mixed with worry, accidents and gloom, while Valjean is completely happy and excited. Obviously he is able to pick up his The work, used in the normal way, is very happy.
Although Leo focused on the weapon in his hand, he did not put down his alert to the surroundings. Although Martin disguised his true emotions quickly, he did not escape his eyesight, which also made him treat Martin. The suspicion of the behavior was confirmed.
　　After learning about the surroundings, Leo began to pay attention to the handgun.
Although the barrel of the pistol is very large, the barrel is much smaller than the barrel. It is about the size of a rabbit’s eyeball. The rest of the barrel is the barrel wall. This is obviously to avoid the barrel being damaged by gunpowder. And burst, especially thickened barrel.
　　 After that, Leo’s sight fell on the part of the gun body again. The body of the gun was deformed. The part connected to the barrel in the front half was particularly large, but the part connected to the handle at the back quickly shrank.
　　 There is a ball-like socket in the upper part of the gun body. Usually, the socket is covered, but as long as the cover is pushed forward a little, you can see the small track inside the socket.
　　 "Is this the place where ammunition is placed?" Leo quickly analyzed the function of this jack through the analysis of the auxiliary brain system, but still turned around and confirmed to Jean Valjean.
　　 "Yes, this is where the ammunition is packed." Jean Valjean saw Leo found the place where he filled the ammunition so easily, and once again determined that Leo had an extraordinary knowledge of machinery. Talking, he went to the side cabinet and took out a box, opened it, revealing the round ammunition inside, took out several pieces from it, and handed it to Leo, saying, "This ammunition is made It's very simple. It's just ordinary gunpowder mixed with some crushed charcoal and two special bullets, wetted with water, stuffed with a steel ball, kneaded into a suitable size ammunition, and dried to make it."
Leo took the ammunition and pointed it at the top of the jack. After the lid was lifted, the ammunition of the right size was inserted into the body of the gun. Following him, under the direction of Jean Valjean, he pulled the jack. The gear on the side, the empty device inside pushes the ammunition to the end of the magazine. This is exactly where the flintlock's firing device is located. The position where the ram hits can touch the device to stimulate the gunpowder.
　　 "How much ammunition can be filled?" Leo asked when he looked at the magazine that still had a lot of space.
　　Ranjean replied: "Five pieces can be filled."
　　Leo asked again: "After the first trigger gunpowder, the other ammunition will not..."
Jean Valjean said: "No, after each ammunition is in place, there will be a special retaining wall to separate it from the ammunition behind." Following him, he pointed to a gear device under the hammer and said : "Although this gun looks like a single-shot gun, in fact it is not much different from a continuous gun. Every time the firing is completed, the thrust of the gunpowder will push the gear below to turn, and the hammer will be brought back by the gear. When it is ready to fire, the loading device of the ammunition compartment will also run, pushing the next ammunition to the firing state."
　　 "Can I try it?" Leo asked.
"of course can."
　　 Jean Valjean nodded, then moved a wooden man out of a cabinet in the corner, put it in front of the wall opposite the door, and then found four very effective soundproof leather helmets, indicating that they should wear them.
Jason has long been excited by these weird-looking firearms and can’t wait to see the power of this firearm. Martin is also curious about the power of this gun. After all, these weapons are made of 130,000 gold flanges. of. He used his experience to determine that these firearms were unqualified, but now Jean Valjean's performance makes him suspect that his original judgment may be wrong, which makes him more curious.
Leo, wearing a leather helmet, filled the magazine with five rounds of ammunition and walked right in front of the wooden man. The three people around him thought he still needed to stand up and raise his hand for a while before shooting, but he was unexpected. Raise your hand, pull the trigger instantaneously, and when the hammer returns to its original position, continue to shoot immediately, until all five ammunition in the magazine are finished.
The few people standing behind Leo only heard a dull sound penetrate the leather helmet and passed into their ears. Every time the sound rang, a flame of gunpowder exploded from the barrel Out, like the dragon flame in mythology, is extremely shocking.
What shocked them even more was the power of the bullets. The first steel ball directly smashed the wooden man used as a target, and then the four shots all hit the buffer on the wall, not just the buffer. Scattered, it also dented the steel plate wall behind, and cracks appeared.
　　Looking back to them, Leo seemed unsatisfied with the handgun, frowned, and moved a little paralyzed arm and shoulder without trace.
　　 He naturally has nothing to say about the power of the pistol, but the weight of the pistol itself and the anti-shock force of the gunpowder, he can not be considered beyond the physical fitness of ordinary people.
　　 Except for the first shot that was within the control range, the other four shots were just pulling the trigger. As for where the bullets flew, it was completely ignorant.
"It's very powerful." Leo turned and applauded Jean Valjean, but before waiting for Jean Valjean to show a happy expression, he poured another pot of cold water and said, "But I agree with Mr. Martin's judgment. This, or this type of weapon, is not qualified."
If other people say this, maybe Jean Valjean will ignore it, but Leo, who has been regarded as a mechanical expert, said this, but he had to think deeply about whether he was really wrong. Too.
　　 "Can you tell me the reason for the failure?" Jean Valjean humbly asked for advice.
　　 Leo asked: "You tell me first, what did you think when you designed this firearm? What kind of firearm do you want to design?"
　　Ran Jean asked doubtfully: "What other firearms? Just what Martin asked, powerful, cheap and mass-produced."
　　 Leo Shensheng said: "Are you not aware of your problem now? The gun request was made by Mr. Martin, not what you want."
　　 Hearing Leo’s words, Jean Valjean frowned, looking thoughtful.
　　 Leo continued: "You really designed this firearm exactly according to other people's ideas and specified directions."
With that, he took out the ammunition the size of a rabbit’s eyeball and said, "For the sake of power, you made the ammunition so big that it directly increased the power several times, but the power of the gunpowder explosion made the ordinary barrel unbearable It is necessary to use some particularly hard and rare materials to withstand this explosive force, but it will not be cheap if you do that."
He pointed to the barrel with the normal barrel and said, "So you changed the method to thicken and lengthen the barrel. But you found that it was not just the barrel that had to withstand the explosive force of gunpowder, the magazine The explosive force will be greater."
His finger pointed again at the front half of the gun body and said: "So you have made improvements, using your mechanical knowledge to create a device that buffers the explosive force, and it is very cleverly connected with the bomb, This design is very genius. It’s just that you never realize that what you are doing is not a loophole, to make up for a loophole, to make a loophole, and then to make up a loophole, and finally made such a weird firearm."
　　 "Yes, you are right, you are right." Jean Valjean nodded and admitted his problem.
And Jean Valjean's attitude made Martin, who was watching the situation, very unhappy, because the same conclusion, Leo was able to get Jean Valjean's approval, but he was completely upset with Jean Valjean, who had little relationship with him. This gave him a sense of frustration that had never been unfavorable, and he didn't like it at all.
"I can give you two suggestions for improvement." Leo is like a real antique weapon master, saying: "One suggestion is to simply change these weapons into portable personal melee guns, and all the steel in the ammunition are replaced. Into cheaper metal debris, increase the shroud coverage area and hit rate. Another suggestion is to use your mechanical knowledge to add a few shock absorbers to it to minimize the anti-shock force of the gunpowder, so that those who can carry these People with weapons can also shoot directly."
　　 Ran Ahrang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well! It is very valuable."
　　After hearing Leo’s suggestion, Martin also showed a thoughtful look, and a little joy on his face.
　　After Leo finished speaking, he squatted down, looked among the weapons on the ground, and then took out an improved mechanical crossbow from inside.
　　 This strong crossbow is very similar to the ancient siege crossbow in terms of shape, and the manufacturing material should also be a very formal metal material. Because of Valjean's delicate mechanical design, it makes it easy and easy to wind this powerful crossbow.
In addition, there are five different types of ammunition in the matching magazine belt of this strong crossbow~EbookFREE.me~, which are marked as explosion, strong acid, poison gas, hypnosis and armor piercing, and should be able to be used in different environments. The strong crossbow is definitely the highest value in this pile of mist, and it is also the most usable by ordinary people.
　　 "Jason, you use this crossbow." Leo handed the crossbow to Jason.
The power of the flintlock cannon shown by Leo just now has attracted Jason. He feels that men are going to take such weapons, and naturally they don’t look down on gadgets like crossbows, even though the strength of this crossbow is not weaker than that of firearms. There is still some resistance.
　　 It was just that even though Jason was somewhat reluctant, he did not refuse. Instead, he obeyed Leo’s command to take the crossbow and wear ammunition on his body, still looking at those handguns with reluctance.
Seeing this, Leo took out the flintlock gun he had used before, and instructed Jean Valjean to take a few more boxes of ammunition, and handed these things along with Jean Valjean's specially made back holster After Jason, he said: "When you hold something, when you can hold the gun for 30 minutes without putting it down, when will you be able to use it, otherwise, you will always carry it!" , He said to Martin: "Don't I have the power to select two items? This is one of them."
I didn’t hear Leo’s words. Jason took the equipment happily, took off the strong crossbow suit he had just put on, put the equipment on his body, and put the flintlock cannon into the special gun on the back. Set, I felt the weight, I felt it could bear it, and I put the strong crossbow to the equipment.
　　 "Aren't you going to choose a weapon?" Ran Arang Shen Sheng asked.
　　 Leo shook his head and said, "There is nothing I need."
　　 Ran Ahjean thought for a while and said, "You gave me some good suggestions, and I should send you a return."
