The condition of the iron pipe made the dwarf very satisfied. After Hu ate Hesse, he took advantage of this strength to make some iron castings. It is said that these will be cut, drilled and polished into parts for guns. Zhao Mai can see some things from the finished products, but he can't recognize any iron castings.
That is to say, ordinary people only see stones, but artists only see statues. How to show delicacy from mediocrity is the real art. Undoubtedly, what dwarves are doing is an art.
The next work, Zhao Mai and green, had nothing to do but wait for the dwarfs to finish themselves. Zhao Mai seized the time to continue learning common language, and green also seized the last time to teach him.
"Mad rat" green is very gifted in language. He not only learns fast, but also can imitate vividly. From the tone of other people's voice, he can hear more emotional information than ordinary people.
A look, an action, an inadvertent shake, he can quickly and accurately interpret. On the card table, this ability is not disadvantageous, but when I meet Zhao Mai, I can't do it. For green, Zhao Mai comes from a completely different place. There are many different meanings expressed by body language. Moreover, Zhao Mai's mother tongue is like a heavenly script to him. Whether it is common language, elvish language or dwarf language, these characters are all alphabetic basic structure, and the use of ideas are consistent. Every square character used in Chinese seems to be a magic badge. After reading it several times, green completely lost his confidence in learning.
It is said that the best way to learn common language is to smile and graduate. The dwarf alphabet is best recognized, but it has a long history. Living in caves has led to the isolation of dwarves from each other, and the development of writing is also different, which means that there are too many dialects, so they begin to learn with a smile and graduate with a cry. The elves' characters are too high, they have life-span learning, but other races are not so convenient. However, the Elven characters are all beautiful in the end, so some people say that Elven language starts with crying and comes out laughing.
Green said that Chinese is the kind of language that has been crying to death before seeing the gate. He gave up studying because he didn't want to die.
The next day passed quickly, and the first gun was made at dawn. Green's pistol is the smallest in size and can hold the least parts, but it is simpler. The rough metal surface has not been polished and modified, and unexpectedly there is a rough feeling.
This is a standard double barrel "handgun". The thick barrel and the short handle don't match very well. However, green asked that the volume should be given priority, so it can only be made like this. Zhao Mai looked over and over for a long time, and had to admit that this gun had a unique beauty in the alien world.
"Sock, green, I just want to understand one thing. You should keep it a secret after you hear it. Don't tell him about it." Zhao Mai was ready to start smuggling again and said: "I have a feeling that the gun itself is not the most important thing, ammunition is. I think of two How about three kinds of ammunition? "
He drew the shrapnel, flat warhead and conical warhead with paper and pen. "Once launched, what effect can be produced depends on the warhead? The previous round ball may be less powerful. I've been thinking for the past two days, since it's decided to use fixed metal cartridge case, why not change the warhead? "
The dwarf squeezed his beard and thought about it, then said, "in this way, it will be more complicated and expensive to make."
"Isn't it our goal to make a magic weapon? Which magic weapon will be cheaper? " Zhao Mai shrugged: "if there is a way to increase the power of the sword by half, even if the cost is increased by ten times, I think someone will want it."
"Yes, it is." Green echoed: "only if you can make a magic weapon can you become a master craftsman, right?"
Suok the dwarf was convinced, and he began to make bullets. Because the cartridge case is useless after launching, so there is no need to cast a mold. Try two pieces of iron sheet roll, and the effect will be better. Green considered that his weapons were all short-range self-defense, so he chose shrapnel. He fell in love with the effect of "one dozen, one large area" described by Zhao Mai and was ready to experiment.
The gunpowder is ready-made, and the dwarf's hands and feet are very sharp. The first launch took place at noon on the same day and failed to ignite. After a round of investigation, it was thought that the bottom of the cartridge case was too thick and the sealing wax was not penetrated.
The second launch was in the afternoon of the same day, and this time it was a success! The shot left a lot of small dots on the wooden target. Judging from the impact degree, the gun was no less powerful than the crossbow - besides, it was surface killing.
Now that this idea proved to be feasible, the dwarves began to build a second gun. He drove the other two out to work all night.
"No, you have to get some sleep!" Zhao Mai insisted: "if you go to have a good rest, we can relax. Maybe as soon as you relax, your mind will be alive and give you a new good idea
If you say anything else, the dwarf will never listen, but for the sake of guns, he will be stubborn. In the blacksmith's shop, three people had a good sleep. During this period, green got up once, and it is said that the compensation for theft came.
"You have to take the money." Green said to Zhao Mai, "anyway, it's only 100 gold. Take the pocket money."
It seems that with the handgun, the "mad rat" is full of confidence. He also advised Zhao mai not to return the room of the fireplace Hotel, which was to support the fat boss.Zhao Mai didn't care about it. He listened to the voice of the dwarves working, looking forward to seeing his weapons. But in the evening of the third day, it was the dwarf's heavy hammer spear.
How to look at it, the body of this thing is a two handed hammer, but the handle is a little curved. The barrel is the handle of the hammer, and the muzzle is hidden at the top of the hammer. If you play with this hammer gun, Zhao Mai will break his wrist, and green may dislocate his shoulder again. Suok, the dwarf, could easily hold the weapon with one hand and enter the firing position.
"Don't worry, Mike. I've got time." The dwarf said with a clear mind: "after building handguns and hammerguns, I have accumulated some experience, which can make your weapons lighter and better to use. After all, you are the weakest among the three of us... "
"Thank you for telling the truth..." Zhao Mai had no choice but to smile, worried that he could not finish his weapons.
"Tomorrow morning, your gun will be ready, and then I'll start with your gun, make fine adjustments, and then make enough bullets." Sok patted green and said to him, "he needs to get out of here and go to the Druid forest. We're in no hurry, so you don't mind pushing back the delicate work?"
"I have no opinion!" Green replied with a smile.
In fact, the dwarfs took out their final work a little later than expected. The dawn of the sun has appeared, the dawn sprinkled on the shoulders of the three. In the middle of them, a double barreled shotgun about half a meter long lay quietly on the table. Taking full account of the convenience of holding, the dwarf creatively installed a blade with automatic turning and protruding under the muzzle of the gun. Whether it's shooting or in the form of a short spear, the gun is basically balanced.
"I improved the grip. You can use this weapon with one hand and use both hands when loading. But one of the hands is only responsible for catching the gun, so it doesn't delay you to use the shield or anything "I still need to change your balance, but first I need to make some bullets to come out and try to feel something," Sok said with a happy smile to Zhao Mai
