Chapter 288.2
The Combination Of Technology And Cultivation (2)
According to what Dai Zhixin said, the gunpowder used in this pistol is made of carbonized red wood, Yangjing stone powder, spirit stone powder, and other very common pill refining and weapon refining materials, and the shell is made of a kind of material called “Fire Thunder Iron.”
Fire Thunder Iron has a certain characteristic, that is, it will produce tiny sparks once it is hit.
And this small spark can be used to ignite what Dai Zhixin called “Spiritual Energy Gunpowder.”
After solving the two basic problems of gunpowder and firing pins, Dai Zhixin approached Xue Li to solve the problem of the manufacturing process of the cartridge case. After these three major problems are solved, the remaining structure of the pistol belongs to ordinary mechanical technology.
Thus, a cultivator’s version of the “Desert Eagle” was produced.
In terms of craftsmanship, this version of the pistol is still very rough, but it has just begun to be lethal. As for the cost, it is a bit high for ordinary people, but it is quite low for cultivators. As for its power…
“The killing effect on cultivators in the Gold Core realm is limited, but it can pose a threat to the life of those below the Gold Core realm. I tested it with Uncle Xue Li. Even if it is a Divine Transformation realm cultivator, being shot continuously by such a pistol will not end with a light injury.”
That is to say, with such a pistol, one bullet can kill a cultivator below the Gold Core realm, but the Gold Core realm and above cannot be easily injured. But if it can be launched continuously in advance, then even a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator would find it hard to ignore.
This damage is quite satisfactory among many magical items, but this pistol has an incomparable advantage, that is, the cost is low!If assembly line production can be realized, then the cost can be further reduced.
But after Feng Shao pondered for a long time, he shook his head, put down his pistol, and said, “Although this pistol is good, its lethality is still not enough. If you want to build an army with this kind of thing, I’m afraid it’s still far away.”
Dai Zhixin shrugged, “I knew you would say that.
But you have to know that this is only the first version of the experimental product, and it is already very good to be able to achieve such lethality. Next, I am going to discuss the craftsmanship of ultra-thin steel plates with Uncle Xue Li. I intend to ask him to engrave formation runes on the steel plate. With the blessing of the formation rune, the damage of the pistol can be increased by a large amount.”
Feng Shao thought about it carefully and had to admit that Dai Zhixin’s idea was indeed feasible.
But he still couldn’t help reminding Dai Zhixin, “But you have to know that although the lethality of this kind of hot weapon is considerable, there is an upper limit to the lethality. However, the cultivator in this world has almost no upper limit.”
“There is no upper limit? Not necessarily?”
Dai Zhixin shook her head and said, “As far as I know, the cultivators in this world were restricted by Heavenly Dao a few thousand years ago, and the highest realm that a cultivator can cultivate now is the Transcend Tribulation realm. That’s it. As long as we can design weapons that can deal with a Transcend Tribulation realm cultivator, are these problems still problems?”
Feng Shao looked at Dai Zhixin’s confident look, and couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that you already have an idea?”
Dai Zhixin laughed, revealing a cunning smile like a fox, “Hehehe! My great City Lord Feng, you really guessed this!”
Feng Shao couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Dai Zhixin smiled and said, “In order to be able to develop a magical item that can effectively kill a Transcend Tribulation realm cultivator, I searched a lot of classics, and as expected, I found some ways.”
“What way?” Feng Shao asked curiously.
Dai Zhixin said, “Actually, after so many years of development in this world, many highly lethal magical items have emerged, and many of them can threaten a Transcend Tribulation realm cultivator. However, most of these magical items are cold weapons. You and your wife’s Golden Crow Sword and Silver Snow Sword are two of them, as well as the Jade Lotus Blade, Sea Essence Ice Silk, Skybreaker Sunset Bow, Tiangang Divine Armament, Xuanji Seal, etc. Since these magical items can be made, can’t future generations learn from them, explore their principles, and make magical items of the same level? But what we want to make can’t be called magical items, it has to be called weapons.”
Feng Shao raised his hand to his forehead and said, “You should speak more clearly, I didn’t follow your train of thought for a while.”
Dai Zhixin gave him a disdainful look, and said, “After living in this world for so many years, you must have completely forgotten the way of thinking of modern people, right? Do you really think that the refining of magical items is a quantum state? Can those things be made by chance? Anyway, I don’t think so. As long as you understand the principle, even if it’s the Tianhua Jade Slip, it’s not impossible to make them!”
Speaking of this, she patted the pistol and said, “Tell me, is there a possibility that we can extend the barrel of this gun infinitely, and then engrave hundreds of formations and runes in the barrel? What kind of power will the bullet produce after being blessed with so many formations and runes? If we make the barrel thicker and bigger, and change it into a cannon or even a missile, what will the effect be like? Heaven-defying? My great City Lord Feng, have you ever imagined what it would be like? Even if it’s those Transcend Tribulation realm cultivators, can the withstand the blow of such a bullet?”
