Chapter two hundred and ninety fourth strange weapon

When Tianyou saw Liu Ye’s so-called gun at first sight, he realized that he had seen this thing, and he was holding it in one of the rows of giant statues outside the Zixiao Palace Mountain Gate.

At that time, Tianyou followed the Qin Dynasty's selection team to participate in the Zixiao Palace selection exam. When he entered the mountain gate, he saw two huge statues more than five meters high in the square in front of the mountain gate. Each of the giant statues had a unique image. Their weapons were dressed differently, and one of them was a female statue holding a similar hollow tube in her hand. At that time, Tianyou was still wondering how this slender weapon was used for fighting, but now he understood that it was not a cold weapon at all. It was a gun, a hot weapon that could project projectiles.

Compared to the colossus outside the mountain gate, the hand is obviously different, but the general structure is still similar. However, the two obviously belong to works of different grades.

Although the gun in the Colossus's hand is stone, its appearance looks extremely gorgeous. Every curve and every turning point on it is so just right and so full of beauty. However, the weapon in his hand is full of... rough.

Yes. This gun is very rough.

The gun body is roughly a long strip, but it does not look like a modern weapon, but it has a bit of the heavy-duty rifle used by medieval European knights. The front part of it is basically a hollow iron pipe, which is equipped with a conical structure three feet long from the muzzle. At first glance, it looks like a handguard used on a European rifle, but this one looks smaller and the structure is not round, but it has edges and corners, as if it is bent with a whole piece of iron plate and wrapped.

Behind this structure that is approximately conical is a small grip area. The reason why it is so easy to identify is that Liu Ye wrapped a cloth strip on it, which is obviously convenient for grasping and increasing friction.

After holding the point, the gun body suddenly enlarged and half into a rectangular structure. I don’t know what was inside, but there was no opening outside anyway.

The rectangular structure was followed by an iron pipe, which looked exactly the same as the front part. Tianyou also raised the gun body and looked inward from the tail, but found that he could actually see the opposite side directly through the muzzle.

This thing is obviously not a cold weapon like the Red Tassel Gun, but it is not like a musket. Its barrel is obviously longer than a modern rifle, and it is actually a ventilated structure. Tianyou really can't imagine how such a barrel would pressurize the bullet and shoot it out. In addition, there is no common gun body and header on this gun. It does not conform to ergonomic design, cannot withstand shoulder shooting, and there is no trace of the butt stock at all. It has no bullet supply, no trigger, no insurance, and there is no bolt or bullet thrower.

To be honest, if Liu Ye hadn't said that this thing could fire ammunition, Tianyou wouldn't have linked it to the "gun". Moreover, this material was a little too inferior. You could clearly feel the roughness of the surface of the iron material when you hold it. Even the position where you hold it is a cloth strip to solve the friction problem. The whole gun gives Tianyou four words: "Simple and rough".

Seeing Tianyou frowning with a magic gun, Liu Ye immediately explained shyly: "This is what I did myself. My family is poor and I can't help me. After getting started, I can only accumulate contribution points a little bit. Fortunately, I entered the Treasure Artifact Sect. I can also make some extra items for helping my fellow disciples in other sects to make some gadgets, otherwise I can't afford so many materials. However, if you ask your senior brother or the Immortal Master to help you make it, the labor cost is too expensive, so I still can't afford it, so I can only make this gun by myself. It's a bit rough, but I promise it's still reliable to use it."

"This...is what you mean by marble?"

"Well, that's it." Liu Ye looked as if he was taken for granted.

Tianyou was completely confused. He originally thought that the name was different, but he didn't expect that this thing was really a bullet. The wooden box was filled with these round black projectiles. Judging from the weight and color, it should be the most ordinary pig iron, and the quality was extremely poor. The iron balls as thick as index fingers could actually see bumpy bubble marks on the surface, and many of them had reddish-brown rust marks, which showed that they were extremely inadequate in smelting and maintenance.

With all kinds of complaints in his heart, Tianyou decided to look at the results of the live ammunition shooting. "Well... can senior brother demonstrate the shooting effect?"

Liu Ye said with some embarrassment: "This gun is very powerful and has a long range. It takes a place where no one can test it. If you want to see the power, you still need a special shooting range. Now, I am afraid that even if you borrow it from the shooting range, you will not be able to see the impact of the bullet?"

"This..." Tianyou didn't expect this, but if he couldn't get the performance of this gun, he wouldn't have fallen asleep tonight. So in the end, Liu Ye couldn't persuade him after Tianyou's repeated insistence, which also proved his lack of confidence. If he changed his senior brother, Tianyou wouldn't even care about the improper demands of Tianyou, let alone be convinced.

The Treasure Artifact Sect wants to make various weapons, so it has its own shooting range, and there are a lot of them. Tianyou, who is known as the immortal Zhenyuan, can easily borrow one. Of course, there are also reasons why he is very popular in the mail, otherwise the shooting range will not be opened easily at this time.

He brought the whole set of guys to this narrow and long shooting range, and then Liu Ye began to prepare for shooting under Tianyou's impulse.

Because this thing is too far from the rifle on earth except for the iron pipe in the middle, Tianyou knows nothing about it. Seeing Liu Ye fiddling there, he was wondering where to load this thing.

The guns on Earth are now loaded with breezes, but the inlets are open up, down, left and right in any direction. Liu Ye's hand is sealed up, down, left and right, and there is nowhere to be used for loading. However, the front and rear ends are completely connected and it is completely incomprehensible. So Tianyou was particularly curious about where Liu Ye wanted to stuff the bullets into.

Tianyou watched from the side, Liu Ye's movements were obviously very skillful. He opened the wooden box he had specially brought out, grabbed a pair of iron balls from it, held them in his palm, and then pinched one with two fingers and carefully filled it into the tail of the gun. The gun was actually loaded with a breeze, but Tianyou couldn't understand how this open breeze would fire ammunition. Just as Tianyou was struggling with it, the other party filled the second iron ball into the barrel, followed by the third and fourth ones, until he stuffed all the bullets in and grabbed new ones, and it seemed that he was planning to continue loading.

It is not surprising that the breeze loading is loaded, but who has ever seen bullets placed in a tandem in an open gun chamber? But Liu Ye’s gun is like this. And according to his meaning, this is not because his gun is special, but because such weapons from Zixiao Palace are designed in this way.

Now You are already unable to complain about the strange characteristics of this gun, but just watched quietly. He wanted to first understand the overall situation of this gun and then ask the reason for it.

After stuffing it in one breath, Liu Ye finished the loading process. Half of the iron balls in the wooden box had already dropped. Regardless of the other performance, the load capacity of this thing is quite considerable.

After loading the bullet, Liu Ye walked to the launch position in the shooting range. There was a small round stone slab as a marker for the launch position. In the target area in front, a servant had already helped to insert a round wooden target with three red circles on it. Although he didn't know the specific distance from the target to the launch position, Tianyou visually estimated that it should be more than 50 meters and close to 60 meters.

The weights and measures used in the Shenzhou Continent are similar to those used in ancient my country. The range of bows and arrows is generally calculated by the number of steps, and like in ancient my country, the step here refers to the distance between the left and right feet that modern people call each step. Tianyou had studied this calculation unit before in order to test his composite bow, so he knew that one step of the weights and measures used in the Shenzhou Continent was equal to 5 feet, which is 1.2 meters long.

The test target cannot be placed randomly, most of which are on integer numbers. From this, Tianyou speculated that the target might be placed in 50 steps, with a distance of just 60 meters, which is similar to his calculations. Later, the helper also confirmed that the target is the 50-step standard. The servant was specifically responsible for the shooting range and was very familiar with the test process. He did not make special requirements. Long-range weapons are usually tested at 50 steps.

The target was set up, but Liu Ye did not lift the gun, but began to untie the cloth strip. At first Tianyou thought the cloth strip was for anti-slip, but Liu Ye disassembled it before shooting, which obviously means that it was not used for this.

Tianyou, who had no idea how weird this gun was, could only watch it. Fortunately, Liu Ye quickly removed the cloth strip.

The wrapped place also has a very thin gun barrel, but it is different from what Tianyou thought. There is actually a wooden cover outside, and the wood is densely engraved with marks. Tianyou recognized it at a glance that it was an uncharged spiritual array. Although he didn't know what it functions for the time being, it must be a spiritual array.

After wrapping the strip of cloth around his left arm, Liu Ye raised the head of the gun, but the holding position was very strange. He did not shoot against his shoulder like a modern rifle, but seemed to be holding a red tassel gun.

This posture is obviously impossible to use a simple three-point one-line aiming method, and the accurate head can only be adapted by the feel. Liu Ye probably also knew that this thing was not accurate, or because he was too lazy to aim during the test, anyway, he almost started to stimulate the gun as soon as he picked up the gun.

With Tianyou's spiritual vision ability, you can clearly see spiritual energy emerging from Liu Ye's whole body, and then flow into the handle of the gun's body through his arm. The originally invisible spiritual nets lit up after the injected spiritual power. In Tianyou's sight, it was as clear as a beacon in the darkness. Of course, everyone else could not see it except Tianyou.

As the spirit net began to be charged, Tianyou saw that the spiritual array inside the gun body also moved, and a large amount of spiritual power was continuously introduced into the spiritual array from Liu Ye's body, and then flowed into the entire gun body. Even the conical guard in front seemed to be full of spiritual arrays, and Tianyou looked at it with dense lines, which made him feel dizzy.

"What a complex array map!"

"Senior Brother, what did you say?" The servant next to him heard Tianyou talking to himself, and thought he was talking to him.

Tianyou hurriedly covered up and said, "No, I am lamenting the magic of this weapon."

The servant next to him seemed to have found the topic and immediately began to follow Tianyou's words: "Yes. You said that this originally ordinary iron pipe can produce such an effect after being engraved with the spiritual array. It's really amazing. If it weren't for the obvious shortcomings, many people would have liked it."

Obviously, this servant saw a gun. Tianyou asked casually: "Doesn't there be few people using this thing?"

The servant nodded and said, "It's not obvious that such an expensive thing, so the new disciples will certainly avoid such weapons, so they will naturally not use them. Besides, the disadvantages of this thing are too obvious."

"Disadvantages? What are the disadvantages?" Tianyou just wanted to understand the characteristics of this weapon. Hearing that this thing has major defects, he naturally had to ask clearly.

I thought the servant would explain a lot, but after hearing Tianyou's question, he just whispered to Liu Ye: "Hey, isn't this the most obvious part of the shortcomings?"

Tianyou turned around in confusion to look at Liu Ye, and then suddenly understood the meaning of the errand words.
