Explosive sounds came from inside the modified rifle "Ambition".
The internal firing pin assembly successfully collided with the primer of the black bullet. Under the influence of the impact, the primer made of nitric acid and mercury - a trace amount of mercury fulminate exploded.
The flame generated by the explosion enters the cartridge case along the flame hole.
The cartridge case is filled with a full 2 ml of cellulose nitrate, which is made by immersing cotton lint fiber and wood pulp in a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. Under the action of flame, the cellulose nitrate produces a larger explosion,
A large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated in a very short time.
The gas expands rapidly, and the cartridge case and the warhead separate. The cartridge case is pushed out of the gun chamber, and the warhead rushes forward and enters the barrel.
The spiral raised rifling in the barrel comes into play, causing the warhead to start rotating as it advances along the barrel.
The special paint inside the barrel began to glow when stimulated by the high temperature, releasing an orange-yellow light that illuminated the jet-black warhead.
The warhead lost its original color and turned scarlet.
This is because when the trigger is pulled, the muzzle of the gun moves up a little. Finally, the scarlet bullet spins out of the muzzle, like a streak of blood, drawing an almost imperceptible diagonal upward arc and flying toward the target at extremely high speeds.
Three hundredths of a second later, the bullet arrived in front of Mayfair.
Mayfair is raising the flame again, protecting her body tightly.
The next moment, the bullet hit the flames.
"Wow!"
Last time the invisible flame could block bullets like a tangible solid wall, but this time it suddenly turned into fragile "glass". With a crisp sound, the flame instantly collapsed, leaving a fist-sized hole.
The bullet penetrated the flame defense along the hole, and hit the right side of Mayfair's body...on the shoulder.
"puff!"
A large cloud of blood mist exploded, and the bullet penetrated Feier's shoulder, passed out from behind, and disappeared into the deliberately thickened bluestone wall.
Fei'er's eyes widened with a look of surprise on her face. She stared at Li He blankly for a few seconds, then her body swayed and fell to the ground like a rag doll.
Blood gushed out from the wound, turning half of his body red in a matter of seconds.
"Fei'er!" Weier was frightened and exclaimed, staying where she was. She obviously didn't expect such a result.
Li He was much calmer because he knew that Feier was just a flesh wound and there would be no major problems.
After the ordinary bullet shooting test just now, he had already expected the result. Compared with the expectation, the actual situation was only slightly different.
The penetrating power is a bit greater, but the actual damage caused is not maximized... Li He thought... You can consider modifying the warhead, reducing the strength of the warhead, and creating an expanding ammunition effect similar to DUM bullets. But this has a disadvantage, that
It may affect the ballistic stability of the bullet.
Maybe you can try to add a cavity to the tip of the bullet to make a tumbling ammunition... Li He continued to think... In this way, after the bullet enters the human body, the tip part of the bullet will deform due to its low strength, which will cause the center of gravity of the bullet to shift and induce instability.
Rolling, thereby increasing the resistance of the bullet as it advances in the human body, fully releasing the kinetic energy.
In this case, the bullet will not penetrate the human body and only cause penetrating injuries. If it hits the torso, it will cause a fist-sized wound on the front and a washbasin-sized wound on the back. Even if it hits the shoulder or limbs, it can cause
serious injury.
However, the material processing is a little difficult, and it is too time-consuming to make it by hand alone. You can think of a way to trick Mayfair and use the other party's fire spell ability to make it...just like before.
Thinking of this, Li He looked at Feier.
At this time, Feier's eyes widened and she lay motionless on the ground. Her whole little face was twisted together. She opened her mouth and wanted to scream, but because of the pain, she couldn't make any sound at all.
Weier stood not far away, completely stunned.
Li He couldn't help but shake his head, walked to Feier and squatted down, stretched out his hand to press the wound, controlled the speed of blood flow, and quickly checked the specific trauma caused by the bullet.
The deltoid muscle is torn, the teres minor ligament is perforated, some veins are broken, and the acromioclavicular joint is damaged...the trapezius muscle is intact, the artery is intact, and the glenohumeral joint is intact...
He just wanted to briefly test the effect of the bullet and teach the troublesome Fei'er a small lesson. He had no intention of physically destroying the opponent. Under his intentional control, the bullet did not hit the torso or other vital parts, but hit the shoulder, causing
The trauma is not very serious.
Perhaps under the medical conditions of the Middle Ages, there was a high probability of death from excessive bleeding, but this was not the ordinary Middle Ages, but the Middle Ages with magic.
After Li He checked the injury, he waved to Wei'er: "Come here, Wei'er, help Fei'er."
The stunned Weier woke up as if from a dream, running quickly like a frightened rabbit, and pressed down on Mayfair's wound with her hands in a panic.
Li He stretched out his hand to stop and commanded: "Don't be anxious, save your strength, and do it in order. Repair the blood vessels first, right here, don't be afraid. Then send the blood back...then repair the bones...then the joints...and then recover.
Muscles and skin…”
Wei'er was stunned, but she still followed Li He's instructions to release her healing power.
Soft white light was released from her hands, and Mayfair's body recovered little by little.
After a while, Mayfair recovered as before.
With a "swipe", Fei'er sat up from the ground, moved her arms a few times, looked at Li He with a grin for several seconds, and said with some fear: "It really hurts!"
"I told you, it hurts more than you imagine." Li He shrugged slightly and took the opportunity to educate him seriously, "So next time you come to my place to cause trouble, think about it carefully."
"I..." Fei'er pouted and said in a no-nonsense manner, "I won't be intimidated by you...but why does it hurt so much...the first time you hit me with this iron rod?
It’s obviously okay.”
"Because the first time I used ordinary bullets, the second time I used special bullets."
"What's so special? Why doesn't my spell work again? You didn't spray the same powder you did before this time...what kind of powder."
Li He chuckled after hearing this: "Of course it's not dry powder, it's a drop of your blood."
"My blood?" Fei'er was surprised.
"Fei'er's blood?" Weier couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Remember when you made trouble before, I punished you by drawing your blood for research." Li He explained, "I refined the blood and extracted a substance that was different from normal blood. I temporarily named it 'Wizard'
'Blood'. Melt a drop of 'Wizard's Blood' into the warhead and make it active in a specific way. The energy released can easily break through the flame protection you created and injure your body."
In fact, the real principle is much more complicated, involving dozens of biochemical reactions and metal production processes. Li He knew that Wei'er and Fei'er wouldn't understand, so he simply explained it simply.
Even so, the two of them were confused after what they heard.
After a long while, Fei'er said with some vague understanding: "So, I was beaten like this by a drop of my blood? I alone can't beat a drop of my blood?"
"That's because you haven't completely controlled your power yet. When you grow up and become more powerful, it will be different."
"So, if I become as old as you, or even as old as Third Sister, it won't hurt so much to be hit by a drop of blood?"
"Yeah." Li He nodded, "At that time, at least two drops of blood will be enough."
Mayfair: "..."
At this time, Li He glanced at the metal drawer next to him that he had opened earlier.
There are several neat rows of bullets inside, and the bullets are darker in color with each row.
The innermost row was extremely black, and each bullet in that row was fused with five drops of wizard blood.
After hearing what Li He said, Feier was obviously a little bit shocked. She looked at Li He and said with a sad face: "According to what you said, even if you are not a wizard, it will be difficult for me to beat you?"
"So, you'd better be good and save yourself from hardship." Li He said, "By the way, since you were disobedient and tried to cause trouble today, although it failed, I still punish you with some work. In two days, use your fire spell power.
, process some parts for me."
"Ah!" Feier screamed.
Wei'er covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
…
In a blink of an eye, night comes.
The entire Blackstone Castle fell silent, the lights in the rooms were turned off one after another, and the owners of the rooms fell asleep one after another.
However, in the stone house in the castle grounds, the room named "Laboratory Zero" by Li He was brightly lit, and Li He was busy inside.
If the day time is used to experiment and explore something, the night time is used to think, analyze and organize.
Li He was sitting in front of a wooden table with papyrus on it. He was holding a quill, dipping in ink and writing quickly.
"Shashasha..."
"Through tests No. 103, 104, and 105, it can be determined that the bullets of 'Wizard's Blood' can function stably, but its principle needs to continue to be explored. Is it neutralizing the effect of the spell and causing the spell to fail, or destroying the stability of the spell and causing the spell to fail.
Further testing required…
In addition, the purification process of 'Wizard's Blood' needs to continue to be optimized to find ways to increase the productivity... In the later acidolysis reaction, the 'Wizard's Blood' semi-finished product shows high sensitivity to the pH value, which is higher than 1.4 or
If it is lower than 1.6, subsequent reactions cannot proceed. Can the reactants be adjusted to improve...
also……"
"Shashasha..."
After writing for a long time, Li He put down the quill, browsed through it, decided on the next research direction, and put aside the papyrus paper full of words.
To put it simply, his current research has two general directions.
One is to explore the principles of the magic mastered by Wei'er, Mayfair and others, what kind of rules it follows, what are its advantages and disadvantages, and what is its fundamental nature?
The other is how to absorb magic into the scientific field and how to use scientific means to analyze and utilize it.
In other words, he wanted to find out what the so-called wizard's magical power was, and how he, as an ordinary person, could control this power.
Of course, besides this, he also had many other things he wanted to explore.
For example, the owner of Blackstone Castle, Blood Countess Elizabeth Gray, adopted seven children, six of whom are witches. Why is he the only one who is an ordinary person without any magical power? Is there any special reason?
For example, the Blood Countess almost never shows up or communicates with the outside world except for the family dinner once a day. She also prohibits them from leaving at will. The entire Blackstone Castle is in a semi-closed state. Why? What is the defense?
Or is it hiding something?
For another example, half a year ago, "he", who had always been frail, sick, withdrawn and indifferent, suddenly fell into a coma, and then woke up. He was aphasic for a long time, and then his behavior became weird - and he did all kinds of weird research. The six sisters were all interested in this.
She expressed surprise, but the countess never expressed any opinions. Did she not care? Or did she not care?
There are too many doubts that need to be answered, but there are too few clues, so we can only patiently search for answers.
You have to be patient... Li Hyuk said in his heart... Time is too precious, and I can't find the answer at the moment, so I can only do other things first.
He reached out and took out a thick stack of papyrus from the side of the table, with numbers written on it: 193 pounds of grain, 238 pounds of grain, 234 pounds of grain... 12 pounds of sugar... 47 pounds of iron... 67 copper coins in taxes...
The tax is 1 silver coin and 32 copper coins... tax...
This is an account for Blackstone Castle to collect materials and taxes from the surrounding territories. It was originally the eldest sister Fiona who was in charge, and the other party was the countess' assistant and the chief steward of the entire castle.
But later he found a way to come over and be responsible for statistics and organization, which saved Fiona's energy. Accordingly, he could apply for some "unimportant" materials for research.
For Fiona, calculating these accounts is quite tedious, but for him, using a simple formula, it can be clarified.
"Shashasha..."
The tip of the quill brushed across the papyrus, and all the data was sorted out in a short time.
Taking a breath, Li He secretly made a plan: "Tomorrow, I will find a way to apply for some more iron blocks. In addition, there are not many chemical reagents. I need to add some, which will require salt blocks, sulfur, lime... I hope Fei
Ona can be more relaxed..."
…
In the blink of an eye, the next day.
Li He found his eldest sister Fiona with a list of materials to apply for.
Fiona was really happy this time, beyond imagination.
But it's not a promise, it's a rejection.
"I can't give you these things you want?"
"for……"
"In addition, be prepared. The stone house you built must be dismantled and the contents inside the stone house must be disposed of. From tonight on, you must sleep in a room in the castle and cannot appear anywhere else."
"..." Li He was silent for a long time, then said, "Fiona, I need a reason."
"There is no reason, because..." Fiona paused and replied, "This is what the earl meant."
