The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 100 Design of Gem Inspired Gun

Although it is a flintlock gun, the principle of the gemstone trigger gun that Ickert wants to make is quite different from the flintlock gun.

There are also differences in specific structures.

But the first thing to do was to make Hammerhead understand the structure he was drawing.

Although Hammerhead is an experienced blacksmith, it is not realistic for him to understand the drawings drawn by Ickert.

The reason is also very simple.

Whether it is a goose-head sear or a bird-head movement, or U-shaped and acute-angled spring steel, the hammerhead does not know their material properties.

If you can understand it by looking at a pile of black ink, Ickert really has to wonder if Hammerhead is a time traveler.

"Hammerhead, you can think of this U-shaped and angular part as a continuous piece of bamboo, and the rest of the bird's head and goose's head are all iron parts."

"My lord, I seem to understand what you said."

Hammerhead replied, although bamboo is a new discovery by the lord, the craftsmen in the territory are very familiar with it.

Hammerhead even considered whether he could use those bamboo poles to make spears, but finally gave up.

But the elasticity of bamboo impressed him deeply.

"Okay, as long as you can understand the characteristics of their respective materials, then I will explain to you the operating principle of this mechanism."

Ickert pondered for a while, and then explained the principle of the flint mechanism to Hammerhead.

"First of all, you have to remember this elastic U-shaped spring. Just remember it. Now I want to rotate the bird's head backwards. During this process, the U-shaped spring will deform and bend to accumulate a force.

At the same time, the goose head that was originally stuck in the lower position will also be driven to lock the movement at the top of the sawtooth.
And the resistance iron spring will also block the goose head with a force, preventing it from releasing the force accumulated in the U-shaped spring in advance.

At this time, you should also notice that I only need to slightly lift the back of the goose’s neck upwards to release the force of the spring, thus driving the movement to rotate forward at a high speed until it is reset. "

As a mechanical dog in his previous life, Ickert felt that he had a good grasp of this simple mechanism.

Moreover, in the process of explaining Hammerhead, he also tried to use words that people from other worlds could understand.

"How about Hammerhead, can you understand this device?"

"Lord, this device of yours is very ingeniously conceived, I can probably imagine how it works in my mind,

But my lord, only such a simple drawing is still not very clear. There will be many coordination problems in the manufacture of these parts. I need more accurate drawings. Of course, it would be best if there are real objects. "

In the past, craftsmen's drawings were not three-dimensional drawings, but serious three-dimensional paintings. It was purely his habit in the previous life to draw a planar drawing, and it was normal that the hammerhead could not be made according to it.

And there are more things that the hammerhead did not say. The most difficult thing to manufacture this kind of mechanism is not the mechanical structure, but the material.

Where can a blacksmith like him find spring steel that is bent into a U shape and remains elastic?
I'm afraid the lord will use magical rune steel or magic materials to solve it again.

"There is really no problem with the real thing. Making a flintlock requires the cooperation of all your blacksmiths, and I don't have time to explain it one by one. How about you find old Kent for me and ask him to cut a rough model for us now. come out."

Ickert ordered that he couldn't draw a three-dimensional picture with his hand, so he could only see if the old carpenter could make a real object.

"Yes, my lord."

Hammerhead immediately went out to find old Kent, and explained to him the working principle of the flintlock.

The old carpenter is worthy of being an old carpenter, and it turns out that in this era, people are more inclined to use wood to make various power structures.

There is no doubt about the strength of old Kent. After making some slight changes, he used narrow bamboo slices and files to rub out the trigger model.

Now the structure of the flintlock is more intuitive.

Old Kent tried to fiddle with the goose head, and found that it really could drive the movement forward at a very fast speed as the lord said.

"Old Kent, you have real skills."

Ickert picked up the bamboo and wood gun and looked at it carefully for a while. If it weren't for these materials being unreliable, he would have wanted to use this directly.

"I'm glad I can help you, my lord, but I can't understand the old man. What is the use of your thing?"

"Well, this is just the core, and we need to improve it for him next."

After Ickert finished speaking, he began to write and draw on the paper again.

This time, he attached a hammer to the Birdhead movement.

"Now, I only need to pull the hammer backwards to complete the power storage, and then I only need to add an arc-shaped main linkage mechanism behind the goose head to realize the energy release.

This mechanism, you just look at it as a crossbow. "

Originally, Old Kent couldn't understand this set of operations, but when it comes to crossbows, with reference objects, it is not so difficult for craftsmen to understand firearms.

After all, even in Blue Star, the triggers of early firearms were largely influenced by crossbow triggers, which were as big as bicycle handles.

The trigger of his firearm is just a little small, and it is not beyond the common sense of craftsmen.

"I seem to understand my lord, your mechanism is ultimately to use this hammer to hit the objects under it, right?"

Old Kent said, and the blacksmith Hammer also nodded beside him.

"Yes."

Although the gemstone trigger gun Ickert conceived uses the action of the flintlock, it does not use the action to start the fire.

What kind of scythe, gunpowder pool, they all turned into another set of designs for him.

Since the principle of the gem propelling gun is to use the impact of gems to simulate the spiritual power to stimulate the magic circle, the operation of "ignition" becomes "hammer gem".

Eckert officially calls it "provoking."

The thing that replaced the flint jig was a real hammer.

However, in terms of strength control, it is definitely not aimed at smashing gems, although traditional gem magic does require gems to be broken.

Because Eckert can also use a magic circle knowledge called "magnification circuit".

This circuit was originally designed for magic traps to adjust the excitation sensitivity, which is one of the important knowledge of traditional gemstone excitation traps.

This knowledge accumulated by the predecessors can be directly used by Ikert, and it is over by stepping on the shoulders of giants.

After solving this problem, the remaining mechanism adjustment will be simpler.

First, instead of the scythe, it is the gemstone that is responsible for being struck by the hammer.

And under the gem, there is a magic crystal that replaced the gunpowder pool and gunpowder.

The reason why it is put together with gemstones is essentially to hope that they share magic conductors and save costs.

For this reason, Ickert recovered the prototype of the previously produced magic gun and the mithril steel of the first-generation magic gun, intending to refine them into L-shaped again.

So far, the structural problem of the jewel triggering the gun has been completely solved. The hammer hits the jewel to activate the magic circle powered by the magic crystal, thus firing bullets.

Since the essence of the bullet is to kill the enemy by pressure rather than relying too much on kinetic energy, it saves mana compared to traditional damage spells.

Moreover, the shooting steps are extremely simple, and ordinary people can also use it. The rate of fire can be expected to be high, and the power is quite good.

Ickert can't wait to use this thing to drive sharks.
