Chapter 252: Test the gun

The sabotage mission behind enemy lines lasted for more than ten days, and Luo Feng, who had a very keen sense of smell, sensed a hint of danger, so he accepted it when he saw it, and returned to Luoshi Village with a satisfied but still somewhat unsatisfied Akanis.

The city of Morsoblay could not be destroyed by him and Arcanis with this little destruction, and it was only the awakened people who finally overthrew the feudal ruling class.

Upon returning to Rockfall Village, he began to inspect his assignments, and his first stop was to inspect the munitions factory set up by Yao, Io, and Bruno.

The site of the military factory is located in the original blacksmith hall in Luoshi Village, which is a huge stone chamber dug out by hand, with a vent above the stone chamber, anvils, sinks, furnaces, grinding wheels and other iron-striking tools, and a large warehouse for ore and metal ingots next to it.

A total of fifty gray dwarf blacksmiths were selected as military factory workers, and when Luo Feng walked into the arsenal, they were pounding the red metal ingots with their bare arms, and the clanging sound was endless.

Yao and Bruno were in front of a large blacksmith's workbench, discussing at the top of their voices, while Io was held on top of Yao's head.

Io is a ball, and Yao has great respect for this ball master, thinking that hanging it on his belt is an insult to him, so he made a hat, embedded Io in the tip of the hat, and wore the Io hat to work every day.

Luo Feng was very displeased with Yao En's new image and thought that the implication was not good, but he couldn't help but complain, so as not to delay time by talking to the old madman with a broken mouth.

"Old ...... Comrade Bredrow, are you back? ”

Yao En saw Luo Feng come in and greeted him, he seemed to be in great shape, with a smile on his face, as if he had just encountered something good. Being able to swagger around with an Io hat is a great treat for him.

Yao En picked up the freshly baked Ferron Continental version of the Migne rifle from the workbench like a treasure, handed it to Luo Feng, and said: "Under the guidance of Master Qiu, the gun you said has finally made a sample, the barrel is made by Comrade Bruno, and the receiver is my work, please take a look." ”

Luo Feng took the hand-made Migne rifle, which was 55 inches (1.39 meters) long, with a 40-inch barrel and weighed about 5 kilograms.

Unfortunately, this sample gun did not meet the design requirements, and the manufacturing accuracy was not enough to ensure the airtightness of the breech loading, and it still used the front-loading mode, which was a standard Minne rifle.

Shooting with this rifle involves pouring the amount of gunpowder from the paper pack into the barrel, pushing the bullet into the muzzle with a ram lever, placing the fire cap on the anvil, pulling the hammer to the firing position, and finally pulling the trigger to fire.

The rifle was made of gunpowder, charcoal, brimstone, and saltpeter were all very common veins of minerals in the dark underground, especially sulphur ore, which was abundant in the deeper strata, in the lava tunnels close to dormant and extinct volcanoes.

Saltpeter ore is not uncommon, and after mining, the purification method in alchemy can be used to purify and crystallize to obtain high purity of fire nitrate.

The method of proportioning and granulation was stored in Io's database, and Yao easily mastered the whole process, opening a gunpowder factory in a cave far from the military factory, and recruiting dwarven women and children to make gunpowder.

The manufacture of fire caps is more complicated than gunpowder, but the pre-technology of alchemy acid in the Feilun continent is very complete, and the preparation of three acids is no secret, and the hydrochloric acid and nitric acid required for the manufacture of thunder mercury can be prepared, and mercury is one of the necessary raw materials for alchemists.

Under Io's guidance, Yao used alchemy tools to create thunder mercury and then a fire cap without much effort.

The Minne bullet is also handmade, and the material is made of lead, which is melted and shaped in an abrasive tool, and then polished by hand to remove the stubble.

"It took ten days to build this gun." Yao En explained: "It's the barrel that slows down the progress, Bruno manually drills and polishes a qualified rifled barrel, and it takes five days at the shortest, and it takes five days at the shortest, and it is not easy to replace it with other gray dwarf blacksmiths, the efficiency and process accuracy are far inferior to him, and it is not easy to mass-produce this gun." ”

"Let's try the power first."

Luo Feng took Yao En and Bruno out of the blacksmith's workshop and went to the meeting hall in Luoshi Village, which had the largest space and was suitable for testing guns.

As a target for the gun, it is a dwarven full-body armor, which is made of dwarven steel, and is a +1 piece of sophisticated equipment.

Fixing the armor on the armor stand, Luo Feng took the rifle and walked fifty steps away, more than 60 meters away from the target, he loaded the rifle with ammunition according to the standard loading process, pulled the hammer, and installed a fire cap on the anvil.

Raising his rifle and aiming at the dwarf's chest in full body armor, Luo Feng pulled the trigger.

"Bang-"

A loud bang echoed through the stone chamber, making a deafening humming sound.

The smoke of the gunpowder explosion dissipated, and several people looked at the dwarf armor, only to see that the projectile was in the chest, and the lead bullet hit the dwarf steel, completely shattered in the huge impact force, although the dwarf steel armor was not penetrated, but it was dented at the point of the bullet, and a crack appeared at the bottom of the pit.

Even if this shot can't penetrate the Dwarven Steel Armor, it will still deal some damage to the target, and if the second shot can hit the same position, it can completely penetrate and kill the armorer.

The armor of the dark elves is not higher than the dwarven steel armor in terms of protection and armor covering, the chain mail is the mainstream armor of the black elves, the drow have high agility attributes, but the strength attribute is poor, and they can't wear heavy armor, and the dwarven steel armor is the heavy armor in the forefront of the thickness and weight of the Faren continent.

This shot seems to have an average effect, but for the Dark Elf warriors, it is definitely able to break the defense. If you hit a spot that is not covered by armor, such as the cheek, you can even kill it with a single shot.

The power of the Mine rifle far exceeds that of Fei Lun's long-range weapons such as slings, crossbow arrows, bows and arrows, and the accuracy is not comparable to the three, Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction.

But there are still several issues that need to be addressed.

The first is the problem of standardized mass production, only by forming a quantity, the combat effectiveness of the army equipped with the Migne rifle will surpass the traditional army of Faerun.

The second is that it cannot effectively resist protective magic or magic skills.

The continent of Faren is a magical world, and magic magic can form a force field to resist physical attacks. For example, the Mage's Stone Skin, Deflection, Mage Armor, Hazy, Protective Ranged Attack, Protective Normal Weapon Attack, Magic Weapon Attack, Barrier Technique, Ultimate Barrier Technique...... The Priest's Armor, Bark, and Druid's Ironhide can easily block or prevent bullets from hitting.

If these two problems cannot be solved, the army that uses guns will suffer a great loss when it encounters enemies assisted by mages and priests, and the weapons in their hands are not as good as burning sticks.
