In the world of "Voyage", firearms are very developed.
There are dozens of firearms shops in the 23rd District, selling finished muskets and customized special firearms.
Whether they are pirates, sailors, adventurers, bounty hunters...people like to carry a musket at their waist, which is also a guarantee of strength and life.
The market for muskets is huge in the world of navigation.
At least in the early stage, musketeers have a huge advantage. Because muskets can cause huge damage to low-level extraordinary beings!
Unfortunately, the forging technology is still very backward, mercury primers have not been invented, and there are no metal-cased bullets. Most of them are single-shot muskets.
However, although flintlock muskets are not as good as the semi-automatic firearms of Raymond's previous life, the subsequent trend of firearms in this world is "magic firearms".
A magically modified firearm with all kinds of strange abilities and great power.
This kind of advanced firearm also poses a fatal threat to high-level supernatural awakeners.
As the first novice expansion pack in Black Sea, "magic firearms" are very rare.
Therefore, this low-level extraordinary sea area is still the home of gunpowder firearms.
And Raymond now has a rare blueprint in his hand [Hex Three-Barrel Warhammer Blueprint], which is the pinnacle of musketry skills.
The power of its finished product is even greater than some low-level magic firearms.
As long as this gun can be made successfully, it will definitely be able to destroy most low-level transcendent beings with one shot.
At this stage, the life-saving ability is extremely strong.
...
The steel ship island in the 23rd District has gone through hundreds of years of transformation and reinforcement. The city's structural structure is extremely complex. There are hundreds of meters of steel buildings lined up in rows. The iron buildings are connected by spider web-like covered bridge steel pipes, which are rusted and mottled.
A maze-like complex layered sense emerges.
"Rosen Dark Alley" is located at the lowest level of the ship island and is dimly lit all year round.
This place is filled with dirt, pirates, adventurers and speculators.
However, this is also Philip's largest underground black market.
Those who know their way around can find a lot of good stuff here.
Even some powerful firearms controlled in the territory can be found on the black market.
There are also a lot of stolen goods taken from pirates, there are not many treasures, and the prices are very cheap.
As long as you have money, you can buy sophisticated equipment that is not inferior to those in aristocratic neighborhoods.
"Sure enough, this place is exactly the same. In this case, the blueprint in my hand should be forged by the 'gun master'..."
Raymond is very familiar with the road. He has wandered around this street countless times in the game.
As a professional power leveler, he is familiar with most of the NPCs here and knows the trigger points of almost all hidden tasks.
He walked directly into the shop labeled "Fire Snake Firearms Modification Shop", where a top firearms modification master who was once famous in the Tianlan Kingdom lived in seclusion.
...
There are various kinds of muskets hanging in the shop,
Flintlock, smoothbore, rifled gun...
Long barrel, short barrel, double barrel...
High explosive black powder, yellow powder, smokeless powder...
Military spurs, hunting crossbows, whaling harpoons, high-explosive ammunition, incendiary bombs...
It’s a dazzling array of items, almost like an arsenal.
The clerk at the gun modification shop is a young man with blond hair. He is currently polishing a double-barreled musket.
If Raymond remembers correctly, making a double-barreled musket requires advanced firearms specialization.
Apparently, this is a high-level firearms apprentice.
"Excuse me, please find Master Haig."
Hearing this, he raised his head and stared at Raymond suspiciously.
My master rarely makes firearms with his own hands now, and he never actively accepts customizations from customers.
Although Raymond didn't look like someone who could afford a gun, he still asked politely: "What can I do for you?"
"I want to customize a barrel."
Raymond said, just about to take out the gun barrel drawing he copied.
"Just the barrel?"
The blond man raised his eyelids, obviously not interested, "My teacher will no longer accept customized tasks, please come back."
Raymond was not surprised by his reaction and continued: "I know that Mr. Haig only makes firearms that interest him... I can guarantee that the master will be very interested in my drawings."
"oh?"
Hearing this, the blond man was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the poor boy in front of him even knew about this hidden threshold.
His master, Master Haig, didn't just stop making guns, but now he no longer made ordinary muskets that he found boring.
"Show me your drawings."
He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and said.
Master Haig has extraordinary firearms skills and has made countless muskets in his life. It can be said that he is proficient in the forging skills of almost all muskets.
Therefore, if there are not many muskets in this world that can interest him, there are definitely not many.
At least it's not something a poor boy can get.
"Sorry to trouble you."
The drawing that Raymond took out was only part of the drawing, and it was the barrel drawing that he copied 1:1.
[Hex Three-barrel Warhammer Blueprint] The complete blueprint cannot be easily shown to others, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Maybe others don't know the value of the blueprints, but the gunsmiths in the gun shop must know it, especially Master Haig.
This complete blueprint is even more valuable than a rare and rare potion formula!
After just glancing at the drawing, the blond young man frowned slightly and muttered: "It's just a short barrel, and it also states that it must be made of sea steel with a strength of at least 9?"
Hainan Steel is a material used for forging high-end machinery. It has extremely high strength and toughness, and is also extremely expensive.
Using steel of this strength to make barrels for ordinary muskets is simply overkill.
Just by looking at the note on the drawing, he could be sure that it was just a design drawing designed to impress people.
Many wealthy nobles like to make boring blueprints like this. They think that by piling rare and expensive materials on firearms, they can improve the quality of the firearms.
Then the finished product forged from the blueprint of this luxurious firearm can only be used as an iron mallet for ornamental display.
"Oh, look what I saw...the Heim Mitsubishi pattern is actually marked with incised rifling on the drawing?"
When the blond young man saw the rifling pattern drawn in the barrel, he shook his head and sighed, "Short barrels are rushing to use this kind of rifling. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Seeing this, he was already sure that this was just a musket drawing drawn by a rookie and amateur!
