Chapter 274 Characteristics of Gnome Machinery

The king took the spear and checked the electrical accumulator made by the dwarfs.

Bobby explained from the side: "It was an accident when charging this thing, but we have taken care of it. The green light in front means that the battery is fully charged.

"Remember to hold insulating hand protection when discharging."

Wang held the insulating gauntlet and immediately frowned: "What are you doing? You didn't handle the center of gravity well. It's too difficult to hold this thing like this."

The dwarf craftsmen looked at each other, and then looked at Bobby together.

Poppy: "We have never made a spear for human use. We have never made one. Generally, no one comes to us to order this kind of weapon."

Flint: "No one with normal intelligence would ask a dwarf to do such a thing."

King: "Dwarfs don't make their own weapons?"

"We usually use golems to guard our cities." Poppy replied.

Wang: "Isn't that right? Aren't the dwarf worm cavalry very famous? They don't use weapons either?"

"Brynden's worm cavalry mainly relies on the worms themselves to attack," Poppy shrank his neck. "The cavalry's main task is to control the worms and decide where the worms will dig holes. They usually carry a crossbow as a backup. By the way. , we are pretty good at making crossbows.”

As soon as Bobby finished speaking, the dwarf technicians following him started arguing:

"Yes, we are pretty good at making crossbows."

"And our Ta Zhang crossbow, humans will also buy it."

"Especially adventurers like to use our crossbows. But for some reason, the armies of human countries don't like to purchase our crossbows."

Flint complained: "Nonsense, your crossbow's mechanical structure is so complex, so troublesome to maintain, and so expensive. It needs to be bought and used by adventurers who face small-scale and high-intensity conflicts. Adventurers also have free time to maintain it carefully. After maintenance, put it in the dimensional bag and take it out when needed.

"The general army's top soldiers don't have dimensional bags, nor do they have the knowledge to maintain your complex mechanical crossbows."

Wang: "Do dwarf weapons have bad reviews?"

Flint: "Of course it's not good. Gnome weapons are notoriously complicated and prone to malfunctions. Their most popular weapons are various bombs, but when everyone buys them, they will dismantle the gnome detonating mechanism and install their own detonators. Even leads.”

A dwarf craftsman shouted unconvinced: "Our grenades are very reliable! In order to ensure that they can detonate, each grenade has many different detonation methods."

Flint: "Caris Newman's belly button, is it possible that you came up with so many detonation methods that complicated the fuse and made it easier to become a dud?"

"what!"

The dwarfs were very excited.

"Fuck this dwarf!"

"Yes, kill him!"

Flint snorted: "You have the nerve to call me short! You are not even as high as my knees!"

The king looked at the dwarves, then at the dwarfs, and said: "To be fair, your taunt is too much. They at least reach your chest. Only then can I say that they are not as high as my knees."

The dwarf and the dwarf shouted to the king in unison: "Shut up, eldest man."

At this time, Xiaobai used his hands and feet to crawl along Wang's back to his shoulders and ride on his neck.Then she raised her head, glanced at the dwarfs on the ground, and showed a contemptuous and satisfied smile.

The king glanced at the dwarves and dwarfs who were briefly in agreement and then turned hostile to each other. He shook his head and turned his eyes again to the spear in his hand.

Although holding the insulating part of this spear will make you feel uncomfortable and tiring, it may be very powerful.

After all, it is a weapon that is recharged after an explosion.

The king turned his head to look for the target of the discharge, and then saw Atori and the two attendant knights who were equipped with protective lightning magic.

King: "Um, Sir Atori, can I ask you a favor? I want to try the power of this spear, and you happen to be wearing a lightning protection spell."

Atori sighed: "This spell will last for a while. To be honest, we don't want to waste it. Maybe we will have to go in to rescue your dwarf craftsmen later."

The lightning protection spell has an upper limit for damage it can withstand. If it exceeds the upper limit, the spell will become ineffective.

Wang: “Uh, okay.”

The electric shock spear was built, but the test target could not be found. This situation really did not occur to Wang.He frowned and looked around. At this time, Xiaobai, who was riding on his neck, sighed: "Let me turn into an animal and give you a try. If the power is not strong, it won't hurt me."

Wang: "Alright."

Xiaobai slipped off his neck again, and then turned into the signature white bear.

The king took a few steps back to distance himself from Xiaobai, and pointed the tip of his spear at the white bear.

Seeing this, other people distanced themselves from the king one after another. Even Elizabeth, who usually stayed close to the king no matter what, also ran far away.

After all, the recent impression given to everyone by dwarf devices is that they can explode at any time.

Wang took a deep breath, confirmed again that he was holding the insulating part, and then pressed the button!

As soon as he pressed the button, he started to convulse: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, me, me, me!"

Xiaobai's breasts changed: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, me, me, me!"

One of the dwarf craftsmen slapped his forehead: "It's broken, the button was forgotten to be insulated!"

The discharge ended in an instant, and the howling that followed was just a nervous spasm after being electrocuted.

Wang's hair was all standing up, looking like a hedgehog in defensive mode, with smoke still coming from his hair.Xiaobai's situation was similar. The white bear's fur was shorter and the bristling was not obvious, but she stuck her tongue out and tilted it to one side.

Apparently some of her muscles were temporarily disabled.

Elizabeth hurried forward and originally wanted to care about the king, but when she saw his expression, she burst into laughter.

Xiaobai had changed back at this time. Except for the fact that his hair became like mink fur that had been gnawed by dogs, he looked fine.

She also looked at Wang and laughed.

Wang didn't care so much. After the spasm in his joints ended, he was about to fall to the ground. Elizabeth quickly supported him.

He dropped the spear in his hand and pointed it at the dwarfs: "You guys!"

Flint recited a healing spell, released it on Wang's thigh, and then teased: "This is what dwarf weapons are like. Do you know why people like to remove the fuse after buying dwarf grenades?"

While the other dwarfs pretended to be looking at the scenery, only Poppy looked at Wang with apologetic eyes: "I, I didn't check it carefully. Give us a chance, and we will fix this thing."

Wang: "You have got this opportunity. I hope that future electric trebuchets and electric ballistae will not have this problem again. Also, Flint, you said that the gnomes' grenades are very popular? Just remove the fuse?" "

Flint: "Yeah, I said it, what's wrong?"

Wang: "Is there any difference between a dwarf grenade with the fuse removed and an ordinary flaming glue grenade?"

The dwarf spread his hands: "Because their grenades explode very hard, and they inexplicably burn when they stick to things. They also burn when they stick to things like steel that don't originally burn."

Wang frowned: "Wouldn't Chi Huo Glue be like this?"

He turned to the dwarf: "Did you add fuel to your grenades?"

The dwarfs looked at each other, but none of them answered.

Wang looked at Bobby: "Bobby?"

Just as Poppy was about to answer, he was stabbed in the back by several dwarfs.

Wang: "Okay! I share my knowledge without reservation, but you keep it secret! Do you think I don't know? You must have added something that can make explosives into it. Let me tell you, I know more about this than you do." Much more!
"I was originally thinking about teaching you how to make real gunpowder weapons, but now it seems there is no need for this!"

The gnomes looked at each other again, and then they all poked Poppy in the back.

"Speak now!"

"Admit your mistake quickly!"

Poppy: "Yes, I'm sorry. I, we forgot that you are from an outer plane. Our grenades use something called black stone smoke powder, which is our unique formula. The key content is that it is made by alchemy. smoke powder, but we added other ingredients.

"I-we can give you a list of ingredients."
