Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 730 This thing is much easier to use than magic weapon!
"Young Master Lin!"

Seeing Li Yan appear, Ling Zhen greeted him excitedly.

Seeing this person's gaze on the Fengleizi in his hand, he smiled again, showing a smug expression.

This reaction made Li Yan look forward to it even more, and took Ling Zhen to the backyard.

There is a martial arts training area here, where Lin Yuanjing and Xu Ning practiced their guns, and there was no one there at this time, just in time for a demonstration.

Ling Zhen was also unambiguous, and said directly: "Please set a target for me!"

Li Yan asked, "How far is it?"

Ling Zhen smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you take a hundred steps."

The backyard wasn't that big, but Li Yan found a good angle and set up a wooden man a hundred paces away for Ling Zhen to shoot.

Ling Zhen raised Fengleizi smartly with his right hand, raised his left arm, and aimed at the muzzle of the black barrel.

Li Yan stood beside him, observing the fluctuation of Yuanli flowing up the gun barrel, and then watched the mouth of the barrel start to tremble.

After a while, a weak voice came from behind: "Let's get closer..."

Li Yan was speechless, and moved the wooden man from a hundred paces away to eighty paces away. Seeing that Ling Zhen's muzzle was still shaking, he moved forward again.

At last fifty paces away, Ling Zhen finally shouted, "It's here! It's here!"

Li Yan retreated to the side, and saw Ling Zhen holding up Fengleizi, aiming at it smartly...

"Bah!"

The wooden man was intact, and there was a bang on the ground not far away, and a burst of flames exploded!
The atmosphere became a little awkward.

After a moment of silence, Ling Zhen hesitated and said: "Why don't you give it a try, Mr. Lin?"

Li Yan actually wanted to try it a long time ago, walked over, caught Feng Leizi, played with it a little, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you change the name of this magic weapon after you transformed it?"

Ling Zhen was startled: "How do you know? Uncle felt that the original name was no longer appropriate, so he named it 'Fenghuolei'."

Li Yan nodded: "It's a lot more appropriate to call it that way..."

The uncles and nephews Ling Zhen and Ling Daoren respectively have two kinds of magical artifacts, one is called Fengleizi and the other is called Leihuozi.

The former is the "gun" in Ling Zhen's hand. According to him, it is powerful, but difficult to control. Sometimes it is impossible to kill both sides, and it directly injures itself, which can be understood as a bombardment.

The latter is a one-time magic weapon developed by Taoist Ling, which can blow down the city gate and create a sea of ​​flames. The previous fire in Prince Jian's mansion was caused by him controlling Lei Huozi, which can be regarded as a highly explosive incendiary bomb.

But now the gun in Ling Zhen's hand has been remodeled and has the characteristics of both. At this time, Li Yan aimed at the wooden man, and a stream of light suddenly shot out from the muzzle of the gun, hitting the wooden man fifty paces away.

"boom--!"

After a bang, the upper body of the wooden man was torn apart, and the lower body began to burn.

"That's the power!"

Ling Zhen was overjoyed, and then he was amazed: "Mr. Lin is so quick to get started, my uncle still had to try out a few times to achieve such power!"

Li Yan played with the barrel for a while, watched the lines on it fade, and asked, "Can it be mass-produced?"

Ling Zhen understood the meaning of mass production, and shook his head without hesitation: "With my uncle's ability, it took a lot of effort to transform this 'Feng Huo Lei', so it must not be mass produced."

This answer is not surprising, because the power of this "wind, fire and thunder" is too great, let alone a wooden man, even a general wearing armor may not be able to withstand this attack.

But great power is good, but it also loses the meaning of popularity.

"This thing looks like a pistol, but it's actually an offensive weapon."

"Obviously Ling Daoren's research is the same as "Taiyuan Township Law", which is to strive upwards, pursue fewer but better, ignore backward compatibility, and cannot be large and broad."

"This is also normal, and it is in line with the pursuit of a cultivator, but if you want to develop firearms in the secular world, it still falls on this person."

Li Yan looked at Ling Zhen, and handed Feng Huolei back: "Please wait a moment, I happen to have some designs, and I want Brother Ling to review them."

Ling Zhen stood and waited, and after a while, Li Yan came out with a thick roll of pictures and handed them to him.

Ling Zhen took it. At first, he was a little confused, but after reading one piece, he was immediately attracted: ""Wu Jing Zong Yao"? Gunpowder formula? These are... guns?"

Li Yan said: "This is the 'Fire Ball Fire Powder', 'Tribulus Fire Ball Fire Powder', 'Poison Smoke Ball Fire Powder' recorded in "Wu Jing Zong Yao". There must be earlier formulas in the folks, but they are not reserved come down."

"According to my analysis, this type of gunpowder is powerful but extremely unstable. The corresponding guns are 'bamboo guns' and 'flying guns'."

"Bamboo gun, as the name suggests, the barrel is made of long bamboo tubes, and two soldiers use one together when shooting. One holds the gun, and the other ignites the gunpowder in the gun, so as to spray flames to burn the enemy, or to burn the enemy's attack. It is conceivable that this thing has a short range, is difficult to operate, and has mediocre practicability."

"When it comes to flying guns, the barrel of the gun is made of sixteen layers of yellow paper, gunpowder and iron slag are filled in the barrel, and the end of the gun is tied with a rope. The soldier holding the gun has an iron tin can with a fire source inside. When you touch the gunpowder in the gun barrel, the gunpowder burns instantly, and the spray distance can reach thirty paces away, burning and killing the enemy should not be underestimated."

"Of course, whether it is a flying musket or a bamboo musket, they are just the most primitive tubular muskets. When gunpowder is improved, bullets are invented and loaded in the gun, it is a burst musket. It still uses a giant bamboo tube as the barrel, and the barrel is placed It is not only the gunpowder, but also the bullets fired by it, just like Ling Daochang's thunder fire, and its power will be further improved."

"It's just bamboo tubes and paper tubes. After a few shots, they are definitely easy to burn or even burst. In the end, these firecrackers still have to be made of iron to enter a new field of development..."

After having [Quantum Reading], Li Yan read a lot of books and classified them by [Thinking Hall]. After meeting his uncle and nephew Ling Zhen, he specially sorted out the contents of gunpowder equipment, and combined with the future direction, these designs were carried out.

Facts have proved that, regardless of whether he can attract Daoist Ling, Ling Zhen has already been aroused: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to have such a level in the way of refining weapons. Just seeing my 'Fengleizi', I can create There are so many types of 'firearms' used by ordinary people, I am really in admiration!"

Like the "San Zi Jing", Li Yan was too depraved to explain: "Do you think it is operable?"

Ling Zhen looked at it carefully: "If gunpowder really has such explosive power, and the army already has the prototype of artillery, then I am sure to turn these 'blueprints' into reality, but Mr. Lin has designed so many versions , shall we start all over again, or shall we be in place all at once?"

Li Yandao: "If the advantages and disadvantages of various guns are as I speculate, then naturally there is no need to start from scratch, but the accumulation of technology is also crucial, and the idea of ​​​​doing it overnight..."

From a purely historical point of view, before the Song Dynasty, it was almost impossible to change social contradictions through the development of productive forces, and all conditions were not met. It was only in the Song Dynasty that it was barely possible in theory. The actual situation Not very realistic either.

In fact, there were many very intelligent and capable people in ancient times, and they also made many inventions and creations that would be amazed by later generations, but most of the creations that became popular were unknown people among the people. evolved.

There are various reasons for this, but one key factor cannot be ignored, that is, the characteristics of the farming society, resulting in supply and demand, making many advanced inventions of capable people useless.

This actually reflects a problem. Many traversers think that social conflicts can be solved by improving productivity through the science and technology of later generations. They are more or less taken for granted. Advanced science and technology are good, but the structural adjustment and adaptation of the entire society are actually the most important thing. The more important, and the harder part to fix.

Li Yan understood the laws of history, so in the Tang world, even if he held great power, he only informed Li Hong of many breakthrough developments, and did not act too hastily before his ascension.

In the world of Song Dynasty, there are supernatural spells here, and what he thinks is also to combine with the technology of later generations: "At present, my plan is to combine firearms with magic weapons. I don't expect to produce too many on a large scale. As long as I can arm Personal guard soldiers have practicality."

The strongest personal guards that appear in the original plot of the Water Margin are none other than Gao Lian's "flying soldiers". "Hulu is hung on the body, and a thousand flames are hidden on the back", which is an exaggerated description.

And Li Yan's Taoist guards don't do anything fancy, just hold a gun...

Half human, half ghost, sharpshooter number one!

Ling Zhen was in a very excited mood. He took the blueprint and looked at it again and again: "No matter what, this is a road that can be implemented. Mr. Lin is really a great talent!"

Li Yandao: "It's overrated. This is much more difficult than simple technical improvement, and it may even be impossible to complete. Not to mention that the final practicality is not as good as spells, and the cost performance of bows and crossbows is not as good..."

Ling Zhen's eyes lit up: "So Mr. Lin wants me to join?"

Li Yan nodded: "Of course, I am not enough to complete these specific implementation steps alone. Talents like Brother Ling are needed."

Ling Zhen was a very strong person in the original plot, but he had very few successful records. He could be called a model that did not live up to the name, and I don't know why...

If it is to suppress the use of firearms, isn't the fighting style of Gongsun Sheng and others even more surreal?
No matter what, Li Yan still hopes that Ling Zhen can play his role and shine in his field.

And the inventor Ling Zhen, who failed to become an officer and originally planned to leave after repaying his favor, was also willing and clasped his fists together: "Thank you for your attention, brother, I will definitely do my best to combine firearms with magic weapons and make it a reality! "

Li Yan smiled happily, and made a good wish: "Work hard, and hope that one day, the guards will be able to hold our invention and shout, this thing is much more useful than magic tools!"
