Chapter 650

He also said that he had forged similar firearms, even stronger firearms.

This is the point! ===== CHAPTER 1391 =====

That is to say, Lin Cheng didn't worry about this gunpowder gun spreading at all, because he had already studied it, and even possessed stronger firearms!

Perocizia's gunpowder gun could at most kill a Third-Order warrior and below, while Lin Cheng's... he simply couldn't imagine!

If the gunpowder gun forged by the monstrous Lin Cheng had such power, could it kill a Fifth-Order or Sixth-Order powerhouse?

Or even a Seventh-Order powerhouse!!!

Don't say, there really was this possibility!

No matter how powerful a flintlock gun is, it cannot escape the scope of physics.

But Lin Cheng's ideas had already advanced to the scope of kinetic energy weapons, hundreds of years ahead of flintlock guns; as long as all the magic power of a Seventh-Order magic crystal could be compressed, and the speed was fast enough, then even the Dou Qi shield or magic shield of a Seventh-Order powerhouse could be shattered in an instant, and the opponent killed. Breaking the surface with a point!

That was roughly the principle.

And a pure flintlock gun, even if it used bullets forged from anti-magic materials, its initial flight speed could not compete with kinetic energy weapons.

Simply put, even if a flintlock gun used bullets forged from anti-magic materials, its speed was not fast enough; even if it had the ability to kill a Seventh-Order powerhouse, it was meaningless if the bullet couldn't hit the target in the eyes of a Seventh-Order powerhouse.

As for mushroom bombs, Seventh-Order powerhouses indeed couldn't resist them.

Not to mention when it would develop to that point, whether the Heavenly Dao of this world would allow it to develop to that point was also a question.

The appearance of flintlock guns, Lin Cheng felt, should be the appearance of dwarf firelocks and gnome muskets.

This Heavenly Dao allowed the appearance of flintlock guns to a certain extent; in fact, the principles of the three were not much different, just that the precision and stability of flintlock guns were relatively higher.

It was completely fine to say they were improved versions of dwarf firelocks and gnome muskets.

When Lin Cheng saw that the steam engine could not be realized, he knew that this world was destined not to develop a technological civilization, so what he said to President Holder was completely to scare him.

Even if the flintlock gun was spread by Perocizia, Lin Cheng could counter with a wave of kinetic energy weapons; kinetic energy firearms powered by magic crystals had faster kinetic energy, longer range, and greater power.

As long as it didn't deviate from the concept of magic, the Heavenly Dao of this world wouldn't care about him at all! As a good young man from modern society, Lin Cheng's brain didn't lack all kinds of advanced ideas.

Even if you play with technology, if you can build a brand new one, I lose.

For the so-called new ideas of people from other worlds, for modern people who traveled through, that was simply what they had played with.

"Lin Cheng, do you have any way to restrain it? You said you have stronger firearms, right? Lend me one to study." Holder, who had already figured it out, began to flatter Lin Cheng with bad intentions.

Lin Cheng had no feeling at all and said bluntly.

"Yeah, spirit weapon-level firearms; as long as you can get its approval, I have no opinion."

"Uh... then forget it." Holder still had this self-knowledge.

Even if Lin Cheng was willing to lend it, he didn't have the ability to study spirit weapons.

He wasn't this pervert Lin Cheng; he was an Eighth-Order Blacksmith of the same level before, and in less than a month, he was already a higher quasi-Ninth-Order Blacksmith.

The most painful thing was... he was also clearly only 85 years old!

The competition ended, and Lin Cheng left with his family as usual, but Perocizia was different; he was surrounded by President Holder and other elders asking questions. If it was luck that he could forge firearms during the preliminary round, then now it undoubtedly proved his ability to really forge these firearms; this was a real war machine!

An epoch-making terrifying weapon!

It couldn't be compared to those flashy goods before...

No, in order to maintain the safety of the Empire, they must ask Perocizia for advice!

Lest this kind of firearm spread in the future, they would be unable to compete with it.

After the president and others stated their purpose, Perocizia answered them with a smile; the principle of the flintlock gun was not complicated, the trouble was the bullet, which was small and needed to be engraved, and loaded with black powder.

This was a real fine job! A slight mistake would lead to failure.

Perocizia didn't seem to worry that the firearms would spread; even if they spread, the gun body was easy to forge, but this bullet was not something that an ordinary blacksmith could easily forge. Having a small amount might be possible, but wanting to popularize it was almost impossible.

The president and elders also thought so after learning about it.

Forging a small amount might be possible, but to popularize it, it would take at least ten thousand middle-to-high-level blacksmiths to forge continuously for several years to supply an army.

Even so, the forging speed and consumption of bullets could not support an army!

Without special bullets, firearms were not even as good as a fire poker.

When President Holder learned this, he suddenly thought.

Had Lin Cheng already anticipated this step? That's why he was fearless!

Lin Cheng had a modern assembly line to support the automated forging of bullets; even if the enemy had similar assembly line projects, he was not afraid at all. ===== CHAPTER 1392 =====

Kinetic energy weapons, invincible!

Night!

Forging Guild.

Perocizia's firearm work was placed in the Forging Guild as a sample for other blacksmiths to visit and study; of course, this was also with Perocizia's own consent.

But no one expected that when it was dawn, the Forging Guild was actually invaded, and Perocizia's firearm was stolen!

The blacksmiths on night duty reacted quickly, but when they chased out, it was a step too late. They could only report to the police helplessly.

President Holder, who arrived after receiving the news, was very angry, scolded the blacksmiths on night duty, and then quickly went to the City Lord's Mansion to wake up Wu Wu Hongtian and describe the horror of the firearm in detail.

Originally, Wu Wu Hongtian was also very angry, but when he learned how terrifying the firearm described in President Holder's mouth was.

He was scared; once this kind of weapon was controlled and popularized on a large scale by other hostile forces of the Empire, it would be a devastating blow to the Empire.

Fortunately, the report was timely, and coupled with the fact that President Holder and other elders joined forces to apply ancient inscriptions to the firearm that could not be put into the space ring, Wu Wu Hongtian took direct measures.

When the city gate was opened the next morning, the spies of the Western Regions Kingdom who originally intended to send the firearm out of the city were exposed, and a small-scale battle occurred between the two sides.

In the end, the soldiers of Panshi Fortress City still couldn't protect the firearm; seeing that the enemy was about to leave the city, a captain-level soldier hardened his heart and directly destroyed the firearm, and the other party could only rush away with some fragments and parts in a hurry.

The remaining parts were recovered by the soldiers.

Wu Wu Hongtian naturally scolded these trash after the fact; fortunately, the other party didn't leave with the complete firearm, which could be considered a misfortune in the midst of fortune.

But what day was today!

It happened to be the day when the Second Prince Li Li Jian came to visit Lin Cheng.

This kind of thing happened in the morning, and this matter naturally reached Li Li Jian's ears; upon learning the role of the firearm, his face was even more icy, and he threatened to report it to his father, making this Divine Might General Wu Wu Hongtian look good.

Originally, this Divine Might General Wu Wu Hongtian was not a minister who supported him, and now that he had been caught by him, he had to participate in a book anyway!

Even if he couldn't be punished, he had to disgust him.

Lin Cheng's blacksmith shop.

The Second Prince Li Li Jian, who arrived in a hurry, originally came for the magic crystal internal combustion engine, but now he had more important things.

Asking Lin Cheng if there was any way to restrain the firearm, or forge a more powerful firearm!

After Wu Wu Hongtian's investigation, it was preliminarily determined that the thief who stole the firearm was a spy from the Western Regions Kingdom; even if the structure of the firearm had been broken, it could only hinder the blacksmiths of the Western Regions Kingdom for a period of time. After the other party studied it thoroughly, they would inevitably be able to forge a firearm with the same effect. After stating his purpose, the Second Prince Li Li Jian's face was full of sorrow.

In contrast, Lin Cheng appeared much calmer.

"Lin Cheng, what do you say? Should we imprison that prince first and interrogate the firearm technology first?"

"No need, right." Lin Cheng felt that this was a bit too much.

It was just a flintlock gun; was there a need to make such a fuss?

"But..." Li Li Jian seemed to have something to say, but since Lin Cheng said so, it meant he must have a way.

Li Li Jian looked directly at Lin Cheng and asked.

"Do you already have a way?"

Lin Cheng smiled and waved his hand, signaling not to be too nervous!

"Your Highness, don't worry too much; even if the other party's blacksmiths develop it, the most important thing about the firearm is the bullet problem."

"To be honest, the bullet process is very difficult; there are cone-shaped and granular ones. The former must be forged by high-level blacksmiths, and the process must be very careful; if there is any carelessness, it cannot be used; the latter is far less powerful than the former, and middle-level blacksmiths can do it."

"Secondly, the range of the flintlock gun is extremely limited, only about 200 meters, and if you talk about precision, it may only be within 50 to 100 meters, not even as good as the parabolic shot of some longbows, which can reach about 300 meters."

"Even if the Western Regions Kingdom wants to develop it on a large scale, it needs ten thousand middle-level blacksmiths to forge it all year round. Not to mention whether the other party has so many blacksmiths, a war needs to consume several times more bullets than firearms; the Western Regions Kingdom can't fight only one war a year if they want to use firearms, right?"

Even if the other party really applied it to every soldier, Lin Cheng wouldn't let it go; he would take out black technology in minutes.

Thinking about it this way, it seems there is no practical problem.

After people finally made it out, he would then carry out a blow at the technical level; just thinking about it makes him feel cool!

"Your Highness, let's talk about the magic crystal internal combustion engine; with the magic crystal internal combustion engine, we can do more things."

"Lin Cheng, do you really think the other party's research will be difficult?" Li Li Jian was still a bit worried, but Lin Cheng was full of confidence.

"Of course, no one can solve those problems except me!"

"The second-generation magic energy internal combustion engine has been improved; I heard that the Imperial Capital is the first experimental city. Your Highness, what are your plans? What aspects do you plan to prioritize improving?" ===== CHAPTER 1393 =====
