[Chapter 87 New Bullet]
The vigorous construction and learning wave lasted throughout the winter.
When the new year arrived, although the winter village was still covered with ice and snow, the temperature had begun to rise significantly, and correspondingly, the learning craze gradually subsided.
In a few months, everyone had read all the knowledge that they were interested in or even uninterested in. Next, they would choose a certain knowledge to formally practice according to their preferences and the depth of their understanding of these knowledge.
David estimated that no one would be able to master a certain mysterious power in a short time. It was not an easy thing to master the mysterious power by self-study without the guidance of a mentor. The
fundamental reason why Laura was able to quickly learn many hunter skills was that she had mastered the magical power of holy light, and she could understand many of the applications of power in the notes more intuitively.
Others did not have this advantage, and they could only slowly explore from scratch.
In comparison, Will Turner’s blacksmith shop made many contributions in this winter: forging various crystal ore weapons, forging various parts needed by several scientists, and forging the pistol that David wanted.
Even on the basis of the original design, Will Turner also played some creativity.
“The bullet of this bullet also contains crystal ore powder, and the charge also contains crystal ore powder.” Will held a bullet that looked no different from a .45 ACP pistol bullet, except that the color of the bullet was a little special, with a purple halo under the sunlight.
“How powerful is it?”
David was still looking at the revolver that Will had just built for him. The appearance of this gun was still the appearance of his favorite Violent Hunter revolver, but because the main material was cast iron, the whole gun was a light golden color.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the supply of ammunition in the village, the specifications of the bullet did not choose the original .44 Magnum, but was specially made into a .45 caliber – this is a custom pistol with a Violent Hunter appearance. In this way
, the pistols in the village all use the same caliber bullets, and Will only needs to make a mold of one specification, which saves a lot of trouble.
“You can try it yourself.” Will pointed to the target not far away, which was set up in advance.
Today is a special day for testing the gun and showing the power of the new bullet. The target Will chose is a huge stone with thick metal plates hanging on the front and back.
David loaded several purple bullets into the gun. The specially customized revolver can be ejected from the left and right sides of the gun body. In other words, there is a button on both sides of the pistol. Pressing the button on the left side can make the revolver eject from the left side of the gun body; pressing the button on the right side will eject it from the right side.
This design makes it convenient for David to use it with both hands. When changing bullets, he only needs to press the corresponding button with his thumb and shake the gun body lightly.
At this time, David held the gun in his right hand. After loading six bullets, he shook the pistol, and the revolver returned to the gun body. Then he raised the gun and aimed at the target.
Bang!
Without brewing or any reminder, David pulled the trigger directly after aiming. The sound of the pistol firing was slightly different from the previous violent hunter, and the sound felt more dull.
This is not the point. The point is that after David fired, the stone used as the target was directly blown into dust. With his strong vision, David clearly saw that the metal plate hanging in front of the stone was also broken into pieces by a shot.
“…”
A group of people including Steve, Mark, Eva, etc. were watching this test shooting behind David. No one expected that the power of this shot would be so exaggerated.
David looked at the direction of the target and saw a lot of metal fragments – that was the metal plate tied to the front of the stone; in addition to a few broken stones, there was more flying dust – this was the part that was directly blasted into powder; there was also a piece of broken metal plate, scattered on the ground farther away – the metal plate tied to the other side of the stone.
Looking down at the pistol, David looked at Will again. He really didn’t expect the power to be so great.
The moment the gun was fired, David could clearly feel that the pistol released the fluctuation of holy light when shooting, and the bullet was attached with holy light energy.
But the purple energy that burst out when hitting the target caused such destructive power, that is to say, this powerful power mainly came from the crystal ore powder. Of course, David did not rule out that the interaction of the two energies produced such amazing power. As for the magic-breaking effect of holy light, it is not clear yet.
Looking at the violent hunter in his hand again, it is more appropriate to change the name to holy light hunter now. David is very satisfied with this new gun. After playing with it for a while, he put it into the holster on his waist.
“You made the rifle bullets too!”
“Of course.” Will pointed to another box next to him, which contained the rifle bullets.
Without anyone reminding her, Sharon had already carried a huge thick metal plate to the shooting range, supported it with two stones, and stood the metal plate horizontally against the two stones.
When Sharon ran back to David, David had already raised the ordinary HK416 rifle without any modification. Only the bullets that were just put into the magazine were specially made by Will.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
First, David fired a few bursts. He could clearly see that each bullet could leave a big hole in the metal plate that was at least five centimeters thick.
Then he pulled the trigger and fired continuously. Before the magazine was finished, the metal plate was unusable.
“Does this thing have no disadvantages?” David was very surprised. He didn’t expect Will to come up with such a killer weapon: “Is it troublesome to make? Is it dangerous?”
“Neither troublesome nor dangerous.” Will shook his head. He had been tinkering with it for several months. He was very sure that the production of this bullet was not much different from that of ordinary bullets. It just added one more material: “Crystal ore is a very stable material.” There
was only one disadvantage: the amount of crystal ore was too small.
As Leonard, Mark and others gradually designed and manufactured various equipment that could use crystal ore, large crystal ore had to be used as energy, and Will was left with some scraps to make bullets. After making some 20mm machine gun bullets, the crystal ore powder in his hand had been used up.
“Is that so…”
David had no way to solve this problem. The growth rate of crystal ore was not under his control. After several months of holding it in, it didn’t grow much. Two large pieces of it were made into weapons. At present, there were only three crystal ore stocks in Winter Village, and Sheldon and others might move them to test new equipment at any time.
“Make as many as you can!” David thought for a while and added: “The village will leave some for emergency use, and the rest of the bullets will be taken by Tirion!”
Tirion Fording asked Laura for some drawings of Krupp 105mm howitzers and shells used by Germany during World War II, drawings of Garand rifles and corresponding bullets, and drawings of Browning 12.7mm heavy machine guns and bullets.
If nothing unexpected happens, these weapons should be produced in Ironforge, and Fording has returned to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, ready to go to Hearthglen to fight the Scourge.
According to the plan that Fording revealed to David earlier, once the Scourge begins to attack, Ironforge will use the “Air Force” to send Fording’s customized weapons to Hearthglen. If the crisis is really as serious as Fording said, Ironforge will also send dwarf troops to participate in the war.
It seems that Fording does not need to worry about the problem of weapons, but David thinks that with powerful equipment here, supporting Fording is also a statement of attitude.
After taking out 121 pistol bullets, David first gave the shell that was shot out to Will, and then put all the bullets into an ammunition bag separately.
According to his idea, he does not need to carry ordinary bullets. He has enough means to fight against the enemy. He can also use bows and arrows when encountering ordinary people or beasts.
The Holy Light Hunter in his hand is more like a portable heavy firepower than a medium- and short-range defense weapon. He is actually quite curious. If he encounters a tank, can he blow it up with one shot? Anyway, he was sure that the Weasel ultralight tank in the village would not be able to withstand a single shot.
“The Hammer of Judgment, and this Holy Light Hunter, what else do you need to bring?” After cleaning up the shooting range, everyone was concerned about David’s trip. While Laura asked, she patted David’s down jacket: “You definitely can’t go out wearing this!”
The new year has arrived. Although Winter Village still looks like a large construction site, the general outline has been revealed.
Considering that this year may not be too peaceful, David has said that he will soon set off for Iron Tree Castle. If things don’t go well, he will go to the capital.
Going earlier means returning earlier. It would be best to return to Winter Town before the autumn harvest. At that time, the surrounding villages may find that their food is not enough, and they are likely to do something to Winter Village.
“Some documents, maybe some gifts.”
Apart from that, he really didn’t need to prepare anything. As the head of a small rural village in the most remote area of the kingdom, it was “impossible” for him to take out any rare and good things.
“Also, I won’t go with you this time. I have some things to deal with.” Laura was still the adventurous Laura. Although the capital of the Kingdom of Tiran made her curious, she preferred the latter to the legendary ruins of civilization: “Besides, I always feel that this adventure is very important and must not be missed.”
David nodded, knowing in his heart that Holy Trinity was finally going to be completely destroyed. Laura, who had mastered the Holy Light and learned some hunter skills, would become more difficult to deal with.
Just as David was imagining how miserable Holy Trinity was, Steve suddenly came over: “David, there are some things I want to ask you.”
