In modern society, weapons and equipment are updated rapidly. Nuclear weapons, laser weapons, and electromagnetic weapons emerge in endlessly, but there is always one kind of weapon that has been the most widely used weapon by the military since its emergence.
This is a firearm.
When there was no way to prepare gunpowder in large quantities, firearms that could produce astonishing damage with only a small amount of gunpowder naturally entered Wang Liangyu's field of vision.
Limited by the production process and materials, it is definitely impossible to produce a modern rifle with a fine structure, so a relatively simple flintlock gun becomes the best choice.
As for the more primitive firecrackers and the matchlock guns that were subsequently developed, these were relatively backward and inconvenient to use, and were directly eliminated by Wang Liangyu.
The basic structure of a flintlock gun is like a musket, that is, the flint on the hammer is struck to generate sparks, ignite the gunpowder, and the gunpowder explodes to produce a large amount of energy, and then the bullet in the barrel is ejected.
The production of a flintlock gun is not complicated. A set of flint excitation device and an iron barrel are enough.
The power of the flintlock gun is far inferior to that of modern rifles. In order to increase the power, Wang Liangyu completely abandoned the issues of accuracy, range and lifespan. Regardless of the rifling, he designed the barrel to be extremely thick in order to increase the amount of propellant and increase the gun barrel.
The energy generated by the detonation of large gunpowder increases the muzzle velocity of the bullet and enhances its power.
Starting from iron-making, step by step, Wang Liangyu spent nearly three days and finally made the world's first flintlock gun.
The gun handle is carved from hardwood, the flint excitation device is stuck on the gun handle, and it is paired with a grainy iron barrel, which is extremely simple and crude.
The only thing worthy of praise is the thick barrel. It doesn't look like a gun, but more like a cannon.
Wang Liangyu tried firing once, with a two-finger-thick iron pointed bullet, one shot shattered a large rock surrounded by three people into pieces.
Wang Liangyu doesn't know how powerful the evil dragon is, and whether the flintlock gun can be effective is equally uncertain.
Therefore, Wang Liangyu made double preparations. While making the flintlock gun, he also made some other things.
For example, poison.
Whether it is the world of martial arts or various fantasy worlds, poisoning is an extremely important method, and all kinds of strange poisons have been developed from this.
There are many highly toxic substances in nature, from various types of cyanide to King Cobra venom, which can easily kill people. There is also polonium, the king of poisons. It is said that 0.1 grams can kill 100 billion people.
After eliminating most of the highly toxic substances that could not be obtained, Wang Liangyu quickly settled on botulinum toxin.
Botulinum toxin is the most powerful biological toxin in the world. Its toxicity is equivalent to 10,000 times that of potassium cyanide. It is said that 1 gram can kill 100 million people.
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin. Its main function is to inhibit the release of acetylcholine vesicles at the neuromuscular junction, block impulse conduction at the neuromuscular junction, and cause muscle paralysis and disease.
Based on this, this frightening poison has become a beauty medicine for many women, and they are injected into their faces one after another.
The preparation of botulinum toxin is not complicated. Botulinum toxin is present in many moldy foods. In anaerobic environment, highly toxic botulinum toxin is produced, which is also the culprit of most food poisoning.
Of course, the botulinum toxin prepared in this way is not pure, and its toxicity is not that terrible. If you want to improve the toxicity, you need to further purify and refine it.
Wang Liangyu has no such means, so he can only rely on quantity and hope it will work.
Wang Liangyu is not sure whether it will have any effect on that evil dragon, but he can give it a try.
Give it a try. If you fail, you won’t lose anything. If you succeed, you will gain.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
Yu Xin suddenly came over and told Wang Liangyu some bad news.
"Why is it so sudden? Didn't you say that we can delay it for a while longer?" Wang Liangyu was completely stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked urgently.
Wang Liangyu was counting the days, hoping to kill the evil dragon before offering sacrifices, so that the people would not have to perform human sacrifices.
After only one day of delay, Wang Liangyu's plan was completely disrupted, and many things were not ready yet!
Yu Xin frowned, confused and a little depressed: "I don't know what happened. Early this morning, the witch suddenly broke away from my interference and immediately announced that today's sacrifice will be held." Then he pointed outside, "Now, everyone is here.
The people in the town have all gone to the river!"
Wang Liangyu looked over and saw that the people in the town seemed to be taking action, pouring out from all over the town and walking towards the river.
First of all, there are hundreds of elaborately decorated oxcarts. Sitting on the oxcarts are boys and girls, as well as various other sacrifices.
When Wang Liangyu saw this, he cursed, hurriedly packed up his things, then greeted everyone, and quietly stood behind the crowd, preparing to act according to the opportunity.
Wang Liangyu held a pure Jun and hung a flintlock gun on his waist. With a stern expression, he said to Yu Xin: "Senior Yu, be prepared. I have an intuition that the evil dragon may come out!" Then he looked at Lu Qi again and lowered his voice.
The voice instructed, "Lu Qi, if chaos breaks out later, you should go up and rescue the children as soon as possible!"
Lu Qi and other storytellers have little cultivation. As ordinary people, it is better not to get involved in the fight, otherwise you will die without knowing how.
Lu Qi was a little flustered, but after calming down, he nodded in agreement.
After being silent for a while, Lu Qi looked at the crowd of people in front of him and asked hesitantly: "Sir, what if the evil dragon didn't come?"
"The evil dragon will definitely come, even if it doesn't come!"
When Lu Qi heard this, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
Seeing Wang Liangyu's determined expression, Lu Qi stopped trying to persuade him and only said: "Sir, I'm afraid that the people will stop us!"
Sacrifice has a sacred origin.
What's more, the purpose of this sacrifice to the River God is to pray for the River God's blessing.
Wang Liangyu and others want to rob the sacrifices and destroy the sacrifices. For the people on the riverside, this is not only blasphemous, but also harmful to their lives. These people will never give up.
Wang Liangyu cursed secretly, and his expression became complicated. The original plan was not to confront them, but now besides hating their ignorance and lamenting their misfortune, they could only bite the bullet.
Fortunately, Wang Liangyu also made other preparations: "Where are the parents of those children?"
No parent would be willing to let their child die.
As early as when he was preparing to kill the dragon, Wang Liangyu asked Lu Qi to quietly contact the parents of those boys and girls.
Although he made a lot of preparations, Wang Liangyu himself didn't know whether he could kill the evil dragon, so Wang Liangyu made secondary preparations early.
If nothing can be done, Wang Liangyu hopes that the parents of their children can stand up and resist, protect their children, or even escape with their children.
Three hundred children, Wang Liangyu and a dozen people alone cannot save them no matter what. If they are saved, there is no way to take care of them, and they have to be returned to their parents.
It is crucial to convince the children’s parents.
Lu Qi glanced at the crowd, looking at the familiar faces inside. They were also looking over, each of them looking panicked, but there was a trace of determination and determination in their eyes.
Lu Qi nodded and smiled, giving these parents confidence, and immediately replied: "Most parents are willing to save people."
Wang Liangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. With the help of the parents of three hundred children, they can feel more relaxed.
At this time, Yu Xin, who had been speechless, coughed lightly and interrupted.
"The people sacrifice to the River God in order to pray to the River God to get rid of the evil dragon. If we can kill the evil dragon, the people will not embarrass us, but will thank us."
After a pause, Yu Xin looked worried again, and said slowly: "I'm just afraid that if we do this, we will offend Jiang Shen."
Wang Liangyu's mind moved and he couldn't help but think of a story in "Journey to the West".
The four masters and disciples of Tang Monk came to Fengxian County, a prosperous county outside Tianzhu, but they saw that the people were desolate and the streets were desolate. This was not due to plague or war, but because of three years of drought, which made the people unable to make a living.
Why hasn’t it rained in three years?
It turned out that the Marquis of Fengxian County had a quarrel with his wife, overturned the altar table, and the dogs ate the offerings. For this reason, the Emperor of Heaven punished Fengxian County for three years without rain. He also set up three passes. When the chickens pecked the rice mountains, the dogs
After licking the mountain, the lamp flame burned through the one-foot-long golden lock, and then it rained!
Just knocking over the offerings is such a crime.
If you destroy the sacrifice like this, what is your crime?
Wang Liangyu himself doesn't care. He doesn't believe in gods, and he doesn't believe there are gods in this world. Even if there are gods, in Wang Liangyu's heart, human life is more important than heaven.
But if gods really exist and they are pursued, and they can just pat their butts and walk away, what should the common people do?
Thinking of this, Wang Liangyu couldn't help but hesitate and fell into deep contemplation.
After a while, Wang Liangyu came to his senses, turned to look at Yu Xin and Lu Qi, and asked.
"Tell me, how powerful is Jiang Shen?"
When Yu Xin and Lu Qi heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale, and they stared blankly at Wang Liangyu, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Wang Liangyu chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually."
"Sir, after rescuing the person, we can use modified animals to offer sacrifices and pray to the gods again." Lu Qi was worried that Wang Liangyu would say something shocking to the gods again, so he quickly made suggestions.
Wang Liangyu looked at the river bank getting closer and closer, and sighed, depressed and helpless: "I hope this river god won't be too stingy!"
