Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 192: gunpowder

gun.

A weapon that uses gunpowder gas pressure to project a warhead.

is a weapon of mass destruction.

It has completely changed the pattern of war, made killing more efficient, brought an end to the conflict between the spear and the shield for thousands of years, and made human beings completely detached from the food chain and above all living things except cats.

Whether ancient, modern, extinct or still existing, the so-called ferocious predators are just a pile of rotten meat under a large-caliber rifle, even if the Tyrannosaurus Rex comes, it is useless, this is carbon-based creatures The sadness, protein is inherently fragile.

Although it is very powerful, the principle is very simple, and children know it.

The basic principles of really powerful things are often very simple, just as there are only two sources of power for modern humans—exploding and boiling water.

The essence of a gun is nothing but a sealed tube, in which the gunpowder is sealed and burned, and the gas produced propels the projectile in front. This is the gun. Since the first gun appeared, the work of human beings is to let the iron The tube is lighter, more powerful, quicker to fire, more accurate, and that's it.

Just a sealed tube.

Just like... the one held by the green skin in front of Kant's eyes.

It sat on the ground with a dazed expression on its face. It must have been startled by the recoil and loud noise. The thing in its hand was a metal pipe. There is no need for outsiders to cast this thing, and most of them are made by Iron Son.

The greenskin still didn't know what he had just done.

Just like the first Chinese on earth to discover that sealed tubes and fireworks can be used to kill people...don't know what they did.

Hong San wondered: "Master, this sounds like your weapon... a bit like it."

Guns are terrifying weapons. When fired, there will be extremely violent explosions and terrifying flames, so that any animal or even a human who sees this thing for the first time will be startled. Hong San was also scared before. I have been there, but after fighting with Kang Shuangying in the city a few times, I am familiar with it.

He naturally thought that this was a powerful and unique weapon possessed by Kant, but he didn't expect to be able to manufacture it on a large scale, otherwise he would have been excited for a while.

Kant did not speak.

Just turned around and looked at Hong San.

Hong San closed his mouth, showing a look of horror, and hurriedly lowered his head.

The greenskins were also taken aback by the sound, but they immediately reacted to what had happened, surrounded the companion, shouted excitedly, and clapped their hands, meaning "one more, one more".

The Autobot turned into a humanoid, half-kneeling and looking at the tube in the greenskin's hand, with a serious expression.

Kant walked over quickly, his eyes were a little dignified, he glanced at the Autobot, and asked in Chinese, "Did you make the pipe for it?"

The Autobot replied: "Yes, this is the exhaust pipe of the motorcycle. I am afraid it likes the mount so much that before abandoning it, it abruptly pulled off the exhaust pipe and carried it with it all the time."

Kant was silent for a moment, then asked, "You also gave the gunpowder?"

The Autobot shook his head silently.

Kant took a deep breath.

He turned around and walked towards the group of greenskins. When the orcs saw him, they immediately gave way with a sly smile, grabbed the bang-bang boy as if they were offering a treasure, and praised: "Big skills! Look at Bang Bang!"

The orc holding the pipe also kept smiling, like a child expecting praise from his elders.

Kant's expression was even more complicated. He looked at the primitive musket in the orc's arms, and only when he got closer did he realize that it was simpler than expected, but it had already taken shape. One end of the pipe was covered with stones, rags, and dirt. Things like that were blocked to death, and then a small hole was drilled, I am afraid it was used to ignite gunpowder, and there was black ashes on the green-skinned face.

He stretched out his hand and said calmly, "Can you show it to me?"

Hong San, who was not far away, raised his head quietly. The exchange of glances just now explained some problems. After hearing the violent sound, Kant became wary and wary, but he didn't understand why for a while.

- Just like the Chinese who combined pipes, fireworks materials and iron sand and gravel, he has absolutely no idea how many people this combination killed in the next thousand years.

The atmosphere became very strange, only the greenskins were still laughing and joking, heartless.

The bang bang green skin had no objection when he heard the words, and even showed the carelessness that an orc should not have, and even wiped the tube with his hand before handing it to Kant.

Kant took it over with a calm expression.

But at the moment of taking it over, this messy primitive firearm suddenly made an abnormal noise, then cracked open, and then scattered all over the place, and even the debris such as mud, stones, and rags used to block one end were also shattered. It's like when the Dajian enchantment fails.

The greenskins let out a wow at the same time, disappointed and shocked, especially the firearm inventor, who beat his chest and shouted, "My big bang!"

Kant squatted down with a frown, picked up a piece of iron, observed it for a moment, and said, "It wasn't smashed by the explosion just now... The explosion is normal, but it won't blow up afterwards, and it won't blow up so fragmented. "

what happened?

He thought about it for a while, and said, "I thought about it, maybe this big bang bang thinks he is too rotten and weak, just like a little chicken, but he is held by a big tyrant, so he feels embarrassed and dirty. The hand of the skill tyrant simply killed himself."

-what?

In other words, this green-skinned bang bang feels that he is not worthy?

This is too licking a dog, obviously it's just a primitive musket!

This statement is simply nonsense. As a normal-minded and scientific earthling, Kant does not believe it at all. In this case, he is more inclined to have something to do with his special ability. looks like.

However, the greenskins believed it. They nodded their heads one after another, and their expressions were unmistakable. Even the sad gunners squatted down and stroked the wreckage of Da Bang Bang. They didn't even look very sad, and praised: "Da Bang Bang, You have the seed, it's a good bang, very waaaagh!"

Kant observed the fragments in his hand, feeling a little complicated and a little confused.

When the bridge between the two realms was erected and he returned to Earth from Huisha, Kant completely separated the concepts of aliens and earthlings. There is a hometown, this is a foreign land, and the human beings here have no DNA origin relationship with themselves. , it can even be said that the people on earth are two different species.

Coupled with the experience in Huisha Town, he can treat life in other worlds with a detached mentality, and he can treat life equally without discrimination. It can even be said that he is an egalitarian—the so-called equality means that no matter human beings or aliens, as long as Silly [beep-], they will all be hacked to death, as long as they are kind, they all deserve a better life.

Therefore, people who are constantly shouting about human supremacy on this kind of issue are all schizophrenic and pretending The outsiders, let’s say, one side is the green skin that obeys you unconditionally and follows you, and the other side is those **** in Huisha Town. If one of the two sides must die, does that also require human supremacy?

Kant has always acted in this way, treating every life in the other world equally.

So he rejected the mayor's suggestion and request. Even if he is physically and psychologically closer to the otherworldly humans, it does not mean that "as long as more Goethes can be saved, the number of greenskins that die is worth it". This view is correct, because the orcs did nothing to the Goths.

If the greenskins were replaced by the invading armies of the elves, then he agreed, because they did.

He thought so.

But sometimes the world is complicated and good fortune makes people, and he is just a young man.

When he found that a green skin figured out the operating mechanism of the firearm by himself, and even made gunpowder by himself, Kant suddenly developed a heart of fear and vigilance, and even subconsciously gave birth to killing intent.

This race with magical ability and inexplicably strong manual ability has come up with gunpowder. What this means, no one can guess. Even if the greenskins in front of them are sincere, loyal and forbidden, will all greenskins be like this? Do all the greenskins believe the prophecy, are close to him, and are always willing to listen to him? What if there are disobedient orcs who get this technology and use it for looting and war?

All kinds of thoughts almost came in a flash.

But the subconscious killing intent did not spread, but was immediately extinguished by Kant.

Because all along, these greenskins have done nothing wrong.

He's just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have the consciousness to become that kind of person...at least for now.

Killing is a method that cannot be used on innocents.

He raised his head and saw a worried Autobot - he was obviously a Transformer, and that iron face could show such a rich variety of expressions.

Kant smiled slightly, indicating that it's okay, don't worry.

Huisha Town is a sad place and has taught him many, many things.

But if the most important lesson is to follow the good intentions of the original heart, he did not open Hannah's stomach alive and place a bomb because of a single thought, so that Lost was not seriously injured, so the other party cursed the artifact. After a turnaround, the divine power on the dagger finally connected the bridge between the other world and the earth, transporting the dying Kant back to his hometown, and thus obtained the ultimate redemption.

Above fate, there is more fate.

As before, this time, I still choose what I think is the right path.

He said to the iron son who was a little relieved: "You can make a few more iron pipes of that kind."

Problems are found, signs of danger are found, then, a solution and a control method must be found... I hope this risk is controllable as he thought.

The Autobots turned into Hummers again, with a rumbling sound inside, sparks and lightning all the way, and the greenskins didn't even know that they had walked through the gate of hell.

They jumped up and down, clapped their hands and said, "It's started! It's started! Xiaojiba is going to perform again! Eat iron and steel, and then pull out good things! You are much stronger than us, we only shit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Autobot stood up in a dazzling transformation, holding an iron pipe in one hand, slamming all the green skins to the ground, and said angrily: "That! No! Yes! Excretion! Excretion!"

Then he cut the tubes short and threw them to the hairs.

Kant said to the gunsmith, "Can you make another one?"

The Bang Bang boy got up and replied, "I'm thinking about it!"

Kant pointed to the corner to the side: "You go there to think, go there to do it."

Green Skin didn't ask the reason at all, and immediately agreed, holding an iron pipe and ran over, thinking for a long time, thinking about it, digging something from the ground, and running to the corner of the wall not knowing what he was digging.

The other orcs were very curious and turned to look, and heard Kant say, "Don't look at him."

The greenskins were itching unbearably, but they still turned their heads obediently, still sitting on the ground, looking up at Kant.

After a while, the gunsmith of Bang Bang ran back, holding a pipe: "It's done!"

Exactly the same recipe, the same taste, a hollow tube, stuffed with a lot of mess at one end, firmly plugged, and a small hole opened.

Kant stepped forward and took the pipe. The next moment, with a click, the rod killed himself again with a big bang, and the metal fragments fell to the ground with a bang.

And this shot was not fired, and the structure was not impacted.

Kant thought for a while, then said, "One more shot."

The gunsmith picked up a pipe and ran back again, thinking for a while, and then holding it back, Kant motioned to chop the sky: "Go and pick it up."

He took it in his hand, looked left and right, and swiped it a few times under Kant's instructions. There was no problem at all. I changed a few orcs. In Kant's hands, clack, clack, clack.

"interesting."

Kant asked the gunsmith again: "Can they learn how to do this?"

The boy Bang Bang replied, "Yes, you can just think about it."

Kant sighed in his heart, but think about it, they can even make heavy machines by hand.

But gunpowder and heavy locomotives are two different things after all...

He instructed: "You choose four green skins and teach them to do it, one for each, and two for you."

The greenskins fought with each other at a very fast speed. They selected the four most powerful ones and ran to do bang bang, so that they could have a face in front of the big tech tyrant.

It took a long time this time, until the five greenskins came back with their respective bangs.

Kant asked the gunsmith: "Can it be fired now? You have a shot."

The other party naturally agreed, took out a handful of powder from a bag around his waist, poured it into the tube, squeezed a few small stones and threw them in, and then looked at the fire.

Then Kant said, "Wait a minute."

He took a steel armor that had just been made from the Autobots, which could protect the head, face, neck and even the chest. Kant smeared on the lenses of the iron face, and the solid enchantment was etched, and he handed the armor to the firearm. Teacher: "Put this on and come back."

The greenskin was very surprised, and proudly put on the protective gear for work. The other greenskins were very envious. I saw that the gunsmith grabbed a piece of hot coal from the fire and put it into the small hole drilled in the pipe. The next moment, there was a loud bang, and a small cracking sound rushed to the sky.

Hong San has good eyesight, and can see clearly. The structure of this primitive musket is extremely simple.

He murmured: "Master, this thing is amazing..."

Kant drew his pistol and shook it in front of Hong San's eyes.

The other party calmed down in an instant...but the next moment, his expression became even more terrifying.

Kant shook his head, then pursed his mouth and said, "Hong San, put on your protective gear and have a shot."

Hong San approached with a bit of curiosity and surprise. Kant asked the gunsmith to bang the second shot to Hong San to avoid blowing up the chamber. Greenskin was obviously a little unhappy, but he still obeyed. He took out a handful of powder and prepared Loading, but was stopped by Hong San, Aurora people accompanied the smiling face, and finally obtained permission to carry out the loading of gunpowder and projectiles in person. I saw him thinking while loading, and also twisted a little powder and smelled it.

It seems that Hong San also understands that iron pipes are not important. The most important thing is the propellant.

Kant was suddenly curious, he just thought about this and that, and forgot the most crucial question.

He asked, "How do you guys... gunpowder do?"

Then, Kant's face showed extreme shock.

Because he saw that the gunsmith was very excited and touched his butt.

PS1: I shouldn't have flagged...

PS2: Also, you guys, you always misunderstand me. It’s the same when it comes to Dabaojian. Hearing the wind is rain, and seeing the word **** makes me feel like I want to play shit. Hmph, Kant is a decent person with shame and bottom line, even if he is around The environment is filthy and dirty, and you will definitely stick to your heart and will never do that kind of shameful thing! What I want to write is this kind of protagonist with a firm heart!
