Starting Life as a Baron

"A dozen times?" Alan looked at Urfa, speechless.

Although he knew that the original musket had a very short lifespan, but with the help of an alchemist and the addition of magic materials, it still looked like this.

“Because of the method of using alchemy bombs, the explosion caused too much damage, and the barrel is not very strong, so the lifespan is not long. 39

Alan also knew that although this No. 1 musket was very cheap, it simply reduced the cost to the extreme, and the finished product turned out to be like this.

And the power is too small, so close to the distance can not penetrate a layer of steel.

If this is on the battlefield, not to mention knights, even ordinary people are not enough.

It seems that Urfa saw that he was dissatisfied with the high cost of the musket, but the quality was too poor.

However, it is not good to suppress Urfa's enthusiasm.

Alan put the gun down, looked at Urfa and said, "It's okay, the cost is very cheap. But the performance is not good. Since the cost is low, you can add some more materials to improve the performance first."

"Yes, my lord." Urfa still looked happy.

Alan took it easy again and took the second musket that Boltzmann brought.

I saw that this musket looked much more beautiful than the first musket, and the color was also a bright silvery white.

Not far away, the target has been set up again. Alan raised his gun, aimed, and fired in one go.

boom--

Unsurprisingly, it was a lot off. Boltzmann may have expected it. These steel plates are a few meters in size, and the distance is very close, so they will not miss the target.

This time, instead of the iron bullet being embedded in the steel plate like before, it went straight into it.

"Hit the three-layer steel plate! 35

Hearing their words, Alan smiled.

"This one is okay, Boltzmann, who did this?

Boltzmann smiled, "Your Majesty, this is my work."

"Okay, nice job." Alan praised, in this case, you can introduce your work.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can see that this gun is also based on what Your Majesty said, using the power generated by the explosion to push the bullets out. 55

"However, in order to increase the lifespan of the musket, I asked the dwarves to make special steel, which improved the strength a lot. I also painted a small amount of magic circles on the musket to further enhance its power."

"How much does this gun cost?" Alan asked the most concerned question.

"Ten gold coins."

"Very good." Alan was overjoyed, (bcdi) although it was still very expensive, it was within the range he could afford.

"This." Boltzman hesitated, "The most critical part of this gun is the barrel, which uses the technology of the dwarves, but they did not charge a high price.

"Also, limited by the abilities of the dwarves, the output of this steel is not much. 99

After listening to Boltzman's words, Alan lost interest.

After all, output is a very important aspect, and Alan intends to equip all the soldiers.

At that time, the number of millions will be exhausted and they will not be able to do it.

"Can't the dwarves point out the blacksmiths?" Alan thought of something.

Boltzmann shook his head, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not possible. After all, not everyone has their skills."

"Moreover, when it explodes in the barrel, the impact force will be dispersed around, and the barrel will be under a lot of pressure, which must require a strong barrel."5

"But then, the price will be high." Alan said after finishing the conversation.

"The king is right." Boltzmann grimaced.

Alan sighed and handed the gun to Boltzmann again.

And the accuracy of these guns is too bad, this is a gun, not a bow and arrow.

It would be nice to use it as a substitute for bows and arrows, but Alan's mind was obviously more than that.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at this, this is the work of Lilith and Kelly.

Hearing this, Alan was a little surprised.

Don't Lilith and Kelly like biological alchemy? Why are they interested in this?

"Your Majesty has something to do, so naturally we have to dispatch all of us.

Perhaps sensing Alan's doubts, Lilith looked at Alan and said.

"Also, we have made a lot of improvements.

"Oh?" Alan was interested.

"Your Majesty, please see." Lilith and Kelly took an item and handed it to Alan.

Alan looked at the musket in front of him, um, barely to say that.

Only the musket in front was seen, with three barrels, it looked majestic.

Lilith introduced excitedly, "This is the latest achievement. With three barrels, his power has been increased several times at once, and we have put a lot of things in it, which will definitely cause more damage. ."

As soon as Alan saw this gun, he felt bad, he could know the history of the development of the musket.

Most muskets in later generations basically have only one barrel, which shows that having more barrels is not a good thing.

But Alan still brought it over, ready to give it a try.

bang-, bang-, bang-

After the three shots were fired, only a crackling sound was heard. A lot of bullets hit the steel plate, and there was a burst of sparks.

This time the power was even worse, and it didn't even penetrate the steel plate, but left a lot of traces on it.

However, they seem to have added some corrosive things in it, which caused the steel plate to be full of potholes.

"Well, the range is not small." Alan praised.

Lilith and Kelly looked happy, but Alan continued: "But the damage is still too small, so the development of this kind of musket is suspended for now. 35

"Yes, Your Majesty."

They answered feebly.

"And mine, and mine, my master. Monte, who can dance, has been standing on the ground, and at this time he can't stand it any longer, and he just leans in front of Alan with a gun.

"Master, none of them are good, look at me, the power is the greatest." Monte, who can dance, said proudly.

"Well, I see." Alan twitched as he looked at the two-meter-long musket, as well as the power stone and magic circle inlaid on the barrel.

"My gun is directly made of high-grade magic material red copper, not only that, but also a full ten magic circles are depicted on it, which are used to maintain the stability of the barrel, the strength of the bullet, and so on.

"However, your cost is too high, a gun costs two thousand gold coins." Boltzman complained.

"Shut up, what do you know." Monte, who can dance, interrupted Boltzmann.

"If you want to do it, you must do your best, you are all garbage." Monte, who can dance, said disdainfully.

Alan listened to the cost and rejected it.
