Chapter 929 The first step to conquer the world (Part 2)
In the room, under the moonlight lamp, Wang Chen sat in front of the table and concentrated on assembling the accessories in his hands.
Metal sleeve, circlip, handle, flint...
A flintlock gun that does not belong to this world or era is being assembled piece by piece by Wang Chen!
In the past three months, while he was training hard in the clinic, he was also thinking about the future.
For Wang Chen, he is just a passerby in this world - the Cangqing Realm.
Sooner or later you have to leave.
But conquering and owning this world is Wang Chen's ultimate goal!
With a small world as your backing, let alone Nascent Soul, Transformation God, even Hedao, Mahayana is not impossible to hope for, the road can be said to be extremely spacious.
But it is not easy to obtain the origin of a world!
Wang Chen can be sure that the master of Tandi Cave and the great monk who built the teleportation array leading to the Cangqing Realm failed to achieve their goals and gave up for unknown reasons.
And the strength of this great monk is definitely far above him!
So what can Wang Chen do that the other party can't do?
Of course Wang Chen didn’t have any confidence!
But he is willing to work hard, and is willing to start from the bottom in this world with extremely low spiritual energy and irregular rules, and climb up step by step until he reaches the top of this world.
But can we get the origin of the world when we reach the top?
The answer is obviously no!
The origin of the world is something that can drive Nascent Soul crazy and become a god. Its value exceeds any treasure of heaven, material and earth.
If such a supreme thing could be obtained easily, then great power would no longer be surprising!
The problem is that Wang Chen has no experience in this area.
He has read countless Taoist books, but none of them contain relevant knowledge.
It is obviously an undisclosed secret!
So Wang Chen could only explore on his own.
Fortunately, he has such a large "experimental field" in Cangqing Realm.
This is Wang Chen’s opportunity!
The flintlock gun in the hands of the maker was Wang Chen's first step in trying to conquer the Cangqing Realm.
He wants to find a new path and is not going to take the ordinary path!
Wang Chen is making the most mature percussion flintlock gun in terms of design. The principle is to pull the trigger, use the flint on the hammer to strike to generate sparks, ignite the gunpowder in the powder pool, and then push the projectile stuffed into the barrel of the gun to launch.
go out.
The principle is not complicated, but it is not simple to actually do it.
The first is the issue of gunpowder.
Gunpowder does not exist in the Cangqing Realm, or someone has invented something similar, but there are two materials for making gunpowder, sulfur and saltpeter.
In fact, there is also sulfur and saltpeter in the Haotian Realm, but it is meaningless to create thermal weapons in the Immortal Realm.
The Cangqing Realm is different. This small world is a world of weak magic and strong martial arts. In terms of power level, it is undoubtedly different from the Haotian Realm, and it is not as good as the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Moreover, there are many countries in the Cangqing Realm, such as Daliang, Dawu, Northern Qi, Southern Barbarians, Western Qiang and other countries. They are constantly fighting with each other, and there has never been a unified dynasty.
This makes thermal weapons relevant.
Wang Chen was a man in science and engineering in his previous life, and he also made handmade self-media. Not only was he strong in hands-on skills, but he also played with a lot of things.
Including flintlock guns!
His grandfather was once a hunter in the mountains and owned two flintlock hunting muskets, but they were all turned in later.
Wang Chen had touched these two hunting muskets when he was a child, and his memory was so profound that when he grew up, he secretly made a homemade flintlock handgun, which he dismantled after playing with it a few times in the wild.
Therefore, he understands both principles and technology, and there are no manufacturing obstacles.
Wang Chen came up with gunpowder first, and it was granular gunpowder.
As for the production method, he followed ancient methods, precise proportions and repeated experiments, and the final product was of excellent quality.
Next, of course, are the various accessories for the gun.
The most difficult one is undoubtedly the seamless barrel.
Although the seamless blunderbuss tube can be obtained by casting and the manufacturing cost is very low, the cast blunderbuss tube cannot avoid the existence of trachoma and hidden damage, and it is easy for the barrel to explode.
It's best to drill it out with a drill.
Fortunately, the forging technology in this world is not weak. Although Wang Chen's requirements are very high, there are still capable craftsmen who take over his business despite the huge sum of money.
In the end, he came up with a finished product that satisfied him.
As for other accessories, it was much easier. Wang Chen was assigned to different workshops for customization.
Finally, assemble and adjust it yourself.
He customized a total of ten seamless blunderbuss tubes, five long and five short, to make five long flintlock blunderbuss and five handle blunderbuss.
Since all the accessories are hand-processed, it is normal for errors to occur, so Wang Chen adjusted it himself until it met the requirements.
That night, he completed the assembly of a long gun and a handgun!
In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Linjiang City had just opened, and Wang Chen quietly left the city.
He walked westward along the official road and came to a deserted wilderness.
With no one around, Wang Chen took out a long flintlock gun from the storage space.
He first poured gunpowder into the gun chamber, then inserted a mini bullet wrapped in silk and soaked in grease, tamped it tightly, and then poured a small amount of gunpowder into the medicine pool.
The amount of gunpowder was added by Wang Chen based on experience, and it will definitely be made into a customized package in the future.
After completing all the preparations before launching, Wang Chen steadily raised the homemade flintlock gun and aimed it at a big tree a hundred steps away.
He suddenly pulled the trigger.
Snapped!
A ball of fire followed by green smoke, the long gun suddenly vibrated, and a cast Mini bullet suddenly came out.
Hit the target!
Wang Chen put down his long gun and walked over to check the results.
I saw that there was a hole in the trunk of this big tree that was thicker than my thumb, and the projectile had been deeply embedded in it.
But it didn't penetrate the trunk.
Despite this, the power of this long flint gun has exceeded Wang Chen's expectations!
Words such as "three-stage shooting" and "queuing up to be shot" flashed through Wang Chen's mind.
Such a weapon is in the hands of ordinary people. Not to mention ordinary warriors, even samurai and martial arts masters cannot resist it. If a large amount of fire is concentrated, it is probably possible to kill the generals!
As for Wu Zong, there is definitely no threat.
But what if the blunderbuss was replaced by a cannon?
Wang Chen didn't think about it any further.
He is making these long and short muskets just to test his ideas. Whether or not they will be used in the future, or how to use them, is not yet under consideration.
Then, Wang Chen tested the gun again.
The range and power of handguns are much weaker than that of long guns, but having all five handguns loaded and placed in the storage space as backup weapons is actually quite good.
In addition, Wang Chen also tested different charges to determine the best ratio.
In the next few days, he went to the wild to play with guns.
On the fifth day after Wang Chen was promoted to Wuzong, he received a mission from the Guard.
