Lord: Skeleton soldiers are weak?I am infinitely talented

Chapter 36 Designing the Musket, Angel Investment

Su Yi looked at the communication channel and was stunned.

According to Chen Ke's description, as a person from the 21st century, he quickly realized what these things were all about.

Guns, cannons, gunpowder.

Even, this person wants to use [steel] as the skin, and the whole horse-drawn tank will come out!
The world of Lords is different from Blue Star in that weapon technology is still in the cold weapon age.

Because of the existence of magic, the development of science here is seriously lagging behind.

All kinds of electronic products in the previous life are now magic props made of [crystals]. Teleportation arrays have replaced airplanes, high-speed rails, and trains, and close-distance transportation such as cars have been replaced by various mounts.

In this world, the web never existed.

In each province, the empire has set up a "magic source network" covering a wide area. [Crystal] products can be connected to it, which is equivalent to a disguised WIFI, and there will be no delay or lag.

It is difficult to say whether the technological level of Lord World is ahead or behind Blue Star.

Let’s talk about backwardness, [Crystal] has all kinds of computers, TVs, and mobile phones, and there is no need to charge phone bills, and the collective WIFI can be used casually.

But to be ahead, there are no tools such as tractors, harvesters, tower cranes, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Even the mining of mines and marine resources relies on the hard work of individual military units.

The reason for this is simple.

The basis of the Industrial Revolution was improved power. Both steam and electricity were invented for higher productivity.

In the world of lords, all problems can be solved by magic, and the requirements for production power are naturally much smaller.

Therefore, the main body of research and development of weapons and equipment is also the military branch.

The most common ones are various armors and cold weapons. There are only two ways to increase their power.

First, use better quality materials and improve the attribute panel;
Second, use magic enchantment to add additional features to the equipment.

Nothing changes without its origin, and the ways to strengthen equipment have been restricted by these two methods for tens of thousands of years.

High-level troops can use better broadswords and spears, while low-level troops can only pick up usable scrap metal to make do with.

Under such inertial thinking.

No one has ever imagined what kind of effect it would have if powerful weapons that could also be used by low-level soldiers were developed and equipped collectively.

Firearms, even low-level soldiers can use powerful weapons.

No [Strength] attribute restrictions, no equipment requirements, as long as you have fingers and can pull the trigger, you can use it
An adult holding an AK can easily kill a large beast.

A few skeleton soldiers operate the artillery, and the power of the shells is hundreds of times stronger than the bone arrows fired from the ballista!
For a moment, Su Yi even suspected that this person named Chen Ke was also a time traveler.

Being able to invent firearms in the cold weapon age is simply a genius compared to Nobel who invented explosives.

You know, there is no black powder in the world of lords!
Using [Sulphur] to test out the explosive ratio, and then stuffing it into the barrel and barrel, what kind of genius mind is this!
Su Yi stabilized his mind and proposed to take a look at the samples first.

Without saying a word, the other party immediately initiated a transaction and sent over the prototype of the manufactured firearm.

[Obtained, Dwarf Artifact X1]

[Acquired, Dwarf Artifact (Great Success) X1]

[Obtained, alchemy creation powder, which can produce an explosion effect after being ignited by flames]

After the territory panel prompted, three things appeared in Su Yi's hands.

"It turns out that Chen Ke's arms are some kind of [dwarves]. No wonder he can forge firearms. This skill is really amazing."

No matter how genius the idea is, there must be sufficient conditions to produce it.

[Dwarf] As the ceiling of forging ability, it is one of the most popular units in Blue Star and the vast sea of ​​stars.

They can create weapons and armor of the highest [Legendary] level, and firearms made of only [Exquisite] grade materials are certainly not to mention.

Contrary to Su Yi's expectation, the prototypes sent by Chen Ke are quite immature.

The gun has no handle, and a short stick is inserted into the barrel as a handle. It is not as good as the oldest flintlock gun;
The cannon is even more primitive to a certain extent, that is, a large ball of gunpowder is wrapped in cloth and leaves and stuffed into the barrel, and the ignition is also thrown in from the muzzle. Whether it can hit the target depends on God's will.

Only gunpowder really hits the mark.

Chen Ke sprinkled some kind of alchemical potion on the mixture of [sulfur] and charcoal to enhance the explosion effect.

The [Shockstone], which was used as a target, was bombarded to pieces, unable to absorb the impact of the gunpowder at all.

"It seems that when combined with magic, firearms are quite powerful."

Su Yi rubbed his chin, thinking about how to improve these prototypes, and searched a large number of resources in the [Library].

Among the resources, some alchemist's experimental products inspired Su Yi.

They stored the magic in the crystal, and then stuck the crystal in a long and narrow tube to shoot it out. The principle was very similar to Chen Ke's musket.

The alchemist eventually gave up this experiment.

In their view, releasing the crystal once with such great effort has the same effect as releasing magic directly, it is purely taking off your pants and farting.

Su Yi copied the structural diagram of his design and improved certain parts based on his understanding of the gun.

A "hammer" is installed on the rear of the gun, which can ignite the gunpowder by the spark generated by the impact;

The handle is changed to a wooden handle, which increases the stability of holding the gun and aiming;
In terms of the overall shape, Su Yi chose the style of firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and stored the gunpowder and medicine bags, which greatly improved the efficiency of loading;
In addition to gunpowder, iron flakes, bone slag and other materials were also added to the medicine bag to increase the lethality besides impact.

After everything was done, Su Yi sent the design drawing to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke, who received the news, heard a series of system prompts before he could take a closer look.

[Acquired, 1000 units of wood]

[Acquired, 800 units of stones]

[Acquired, 500 units of food (Zerg meat)]

[Obtain, 200 units of sulfur]

[Obtain, 100 units of steel]

Chen Ke was stunned by the screen-swiping resources.

The territory panel where he got rich instantly made him feel inexplicably "nurtured".

Su Yi (1): On the basis of the original, I have slightly modified the design drawing. You first create a sample according to the new drawing.
Su Yi (1): These resources are made as a deposit first, and the follow-up [contract] can be signed after the product is formed
Su Yi (1): Come on, you are the one super genius among ten thousand, I believe you can do it

Su Yi really wanted to support Chen Ke and directly sent a large amount of resources so that he could focus on the development of firearms.

If it can be successfully produced and mass-produced, it will have great strategic significance.

Just imagine, if hundreds of thousands of ordinary skeleton soldiers could be equipped with a musket.

In that scene, even if the dragon came, he had to make a detour!
Chen Ke, who received the funding, looked a little dazed, watching the communication channel for a long time unable to speak.

Just as Su Yi said, Chen Ke comes from a family with extremely high attainments in alchemy.

His father and grandfather were both famous high-level alchemists, who had invented various patented medicines and served in high-level positions in the empire.

Obsessed with it since childhood, coupled with Chen Ke's extraordinary talent for alchemy, he passed the test before the entrance examination and became the youngest alchemist in history, only 15 years old.

The Alchemy Union is a paradise for all alchemists, a gathering place for geniuses and madmen.

Here, Chen Ke found that his idea of ​​"firearms" was not worth mentioning, and there were many crazier ideas than him.

The human body is refined, the elements are deconstructed, and the core of the earth is extracted.

These crazy and outrageous ideas can attract investment from rich people, but no one cares about Chen Ke's "firearms".

What's the use of firearms when there's magic?

Scoffers believe that no amount of gunpowder can ever equal a hair of forbidden magic.

The same goes for his family and friends, who all advised him to give up this unrealistic fantasy to avoid bringing shame to the family.

However, even in the face of his father's letters and accusations, Chen Ke did not compromise.

He firmly believed that if he successfully prepared gunpowder, the idea of ​​​​the firearm would be realized.

Su Yi's approval gave Chen Ke a shot in the arm.

The subsequent angel investment made him even more flattered, his eyes red, and deeply moved.

If it was a compliment from an ordinary person, Chen Ke wouldn't take it seriously at all, he would just treat it as flattering to his family.

But who is Su Yi?
Crush all the candidates, occupy the first place in two rounds in a row, and will soon reach the top of the Eastern Province!

Such people are called "super geniuses".

The overjoyed Chen Ke almost twisted his mouth into a smile: "There is a reason for the Great Master Su Yi to reach the top. Look at it, and violently kill those second-rate warlocks who laugh at me!"

"Let me see what changes have been made to the master's design drawings."

Originally, Chen Ke was full of confidence to create an excellent firearm to prove his own strength.

But when he saw the design drawings that were completely different from before, and full of icons and annotations, Chen Ke seemed to have read a book from heaven, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Hammer ignition, what is that?
Cancel the steel wheel and replace it with a 3cm spring. Can this thing work?

There are also breath-holding effects, blasting thrust, smoothbore energy storage, and various technical terms that directly stupefied the genius alchemist.

Chen Ke's second-level building is called [Dwarf Forging Hall], which can produce [Exquisite]-level troops with the characteristic [Master Craftsman].

Several burly dwarves with hammers came to him one after another, asking him if he would continue to make "firearms".

Chen Ke handed the design drawings to the dwarves dully.

Then, these master craftsmen also followed in their footsteps and fell into a state of confusion.

　In terms of settings, some forbidden spells are stronger than nuclear weapons.

　　Ordinary forbidden spells of destruction are as powerful as nuclear weapons. The higher the level of magic, the longer the reading time and the lower the success rate of release.

　　Forbidden spells can be understood as level 10 magic, and you have to pay a huge price every time you use it.
