Chapter 215 You call this a "light rifle"?
"Generally speaking, the appearance and style of a weapon serve its performance. The general style of a firearm is mainly based on its operating principle and also takes into account ease of use.
"Therefore, the trigger is still the most mainstream design. In traditional gun design, the trigger is pulled by the finger to make the trigger rod move forward, which in turn drives the bolt to move backward, exposing the gunpowder ignition part, igniting the gunpowder and finally releasing the bullet. This design makes the gun trigger have the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and high reliability. It can fire reliably in various environments and has a certain adaptability to low temperature, high temperature, dry or humid environment."
Just when Wang Ergou hadn't reacted yet, a large translucent "screen" suddenly appeared above the three people's heads. It had a feeling of a futuristic science fiction world, and it looked like the content had been recorded long ago. It was the image recorded by the photo stone commonly used by the cultivators in Guixu Realm.
On the screen was the figure of Ma Lou from the laboratory, who was introducing the laboratory non-stop:
"But for firearms that rely on psychic energy to 'ignite', the trigger is no longer a necessary component. In order to reduce unnecessary cumbersome designs, we have set a threshold for the psychic version of the MG-42, which is the lightweight psychic continuous multi-shot thunder rifle, which we will refer to as the thunder rifle in the future. That is, at least you need to be able to draw spiritual energy before you can use it smoothly - I emphasize that this does not mean that only monks can use it. The threshold for drawing spiritual energy has been proven to be very simple. According to the latest research report from Zhongzhou University, even the so-called 'natural disabled' can reach the level of sensing and smoothly drawing spiritual energy after systematic and scientific training.
"Of course, this design is just a compromise based on our current level, and specific improvements are still in progress."
When Ma Lou from the laboratory said this, a strange-looking "gun" appeared on the screen.
The cold black metal, the side-by-side gun barrels, the diameter of an average adult's thigh...
Wang Ergou opened his mouth wide.
You call this a "lightweight"? Or a "rifle"? Compared to the MG-42, this looks more like a Gatling gun, right?
“Of course, it doesn’t seem ‘light’ in appearance, but in fact, we designed a weight-reducing device on the handle to ensure that it maintains a weight that a seven or eight-year-old child can hold while maintaining a good feel.
"Also, although this lightning rifle looks very different from the MG-42, we swear that it was originally designed and modified based on the MG-42. For example, the multi-barrel design is because we found that compared with a single barrel, multiple barrels can fire more ammunition at the same time, increase firepower, and improve lethality and combat efficiency. Another example is the handle. It is mainly because after we abandoned the trigger design, we needed to provide a design that is easy to carry, so we designed the 'spiritual induction port' for spiritual energy to fire in front of the handle, which is more convenient to use!
"As for the power, the power of each lightning shell it fires is equivalent to that of a mid-level lightning talisman, but because we use a multi-barrel design, its lethality is very considerable. According to tests, the amount of damage caused by a Qi Refining cultivator after exhausting his own spiritual power is equivalent to that of a Jindan cultivator! And the intensity of its attack per minute is far higher than the average of Jindan cultivators! Of course, it cannot compete with cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, because the base of the barrel of the lightning bullet rifle uses a formation engraving method to convert spiritual power into lightning shells. This process replaces the process of the cultivator's own spiritual power conversion. Currently, we are limited by the research and understanding of materials and formations, so we can only achieve this level of lethality, but we believe that as long as we have a little more time, we will definitely be able to do better...
"At the same time, we tried various five-element formations. The power of fire bombs should not be underestimated. However, considering that the power of lightning bombs on non-biological targets is much higher than other attributes, we adopted the lightning bomb design..." "As for endurance, we adopted..."
After watching the entire video, Wang Ergou was already doubting his life. He couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't we be in a fairy world? How come we developed hot weapons? Technology beats cultivation? This is illogical!"
"This is a misconception," Fang Xianyu patiently explained, "In fact, among cultivators or immortals, the most lethal attack methods are very similar in principle to modern thermal weapons in the Blue Star Realm. They either use spiritual power to condense fire dragons or gather thunder, or use fire and thunder symbols. Even the Way of a Hundred Weapons and sword cultivators use spiritual swords with thunder spirits, rather than real cold weapons. Among them, the use of "thunder" by the cultivators of the Guixu Realm is similar to the laser weapons of the Blue Star Realm."
Wang Ergou thought about it carefully and was a little confused: "Okay, it seems to be the case..."
Elder Lu Ying nodded and said, "So, what is strong is not the thermal weapons on the technological side, but the more advanced way of thinking. The Blue Star Realm is just more perfect than the Guixu Realm in the development and utilization of objective things. There is no difference between the two. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Since the macroscopic physical rules of the two worlds are the same, it is natural to choose to stand on the shoulders of giants and move forward!"
After listening to Elder Lu Ying's explanation, Wang Ergou soon figured it out. Then, he recalled the "Gatling" in the video just now, and almost drooled in his heart. He asked: "Then these Gatlings... no, these rifles, are they for players to use in the new battlefield?"
Who doesn't want to play with "Gatling"? Especially the psychic version of "Gatling"! Wang Ergou is almost imagining himself sweeping the battlefield with "Gatling"! "For some, I will put 300 of them on the shelves in the sect store as limited-time weapons, and the rest will be given to the flower growers. By the way, this time I can give you a total of 500 places, but..."
Before Elder Lu Ying could show his delight, Fang Xianyu added, “But we need to add another 100 professional NPCs.
"The Taiyin Sect is really short of manpower. I discussed with the Xiling Clan about going to the Five-Colored Formation at the entrance of Guixu. They promised to help set up a portal in the Taiyin Sect and teleport directly to the Five-Colored Formation. This is much more convenient than teleporting to Quanxian King City and then entering. This way, higher-level players will also have a place to level up.
"The money exchange NPC and the reception NPC both need manpower to take charge."
Elder Lu Ying readily agreed: "No problem! We will arrange special training for the required personnel in this regard!"
