Working Prophet.

Chapter 492 This Can Help
"You had a nightmare?"

"I just dreamed...someone was going to kill me." Miss Rabbit said with lingering fear.

"Who?"

"A guy nicknamed Earth Bear, he was my opponent in the martial arts tournament, but I can't do anything about him."

"I thought you had gone to clarify the misunderstanding with His Majesty the Emperor."

"I did confess to him about the dragon slaying, saying that it was everyone's credit, and I was more of a commander in it."

"and then?"

"Then he seemed to misunderstand me even more. He insisted that I was just showing the modesty of a knight, and praised me again. Oh, by the way, he also mentioned the previous battle between me and Hercules, what did the empire say? The honor needs to be defended by me."

"I couldn't convince His Majesty, so I went to see the Second Prince Claudio again through Geoff's help, hoping to ask him for help.

"In the end, Claudio gave me the condition that I kill the Earth Bear in the tournament, because the Earth Bear killed one of his friends in a duel, and hung the intestines of that unlucky ghost up a tree and piss on him or something.

"However, the bounty offered by Claudio is quite high. This must be admitted. It seems that it is quite good to be his friend."

"You met Geoff again?" Li Yu was a little surprised, "How much did you pay him before he agreed to take you to meet the second prince?"

"Uh, I didn't spend a single silver coin. Instead, I asked him to give me seventy golden lions, because the money was originally paid to him by the second prince, and I left him thirty golden lions. gone."

When Ilea said this, there was a little smug look on her face, but it disappeared quickly, and she said with a mournful face.

"But it's useless for me to ask for the money. It's over. I'm sure it's over this time. The martial arts tournament will start tomorrow, and the guy with the golden voice even made a poem about my poisonous fog and my ability to control thunder. All over the city.

"The other contestants probably know how to deal with me by now. I... I'd better go and prepare the suicide note." The girl was looking for a pen and paper while talking.

But then Li Yu said, "The suicide note is unnecessary."

Miss Rabbit's ears pricked up all of a sudden, and her already dull eyes brightened again, "Really?! You still have a solution?"

"There is always no harm in making more preparations for everything. I did consider the possibility of you participating in the martial arts tournament before coming to the capital."

"You mean to say, you also helped me prepare a way to beat the other contestants?" The girl's heart was pounding. If she had a smart bracelet to help her measure it, it is estimated that her heart rate has already soared. 190 up.

And Li Yu's answer was also very straightforward, with only one word, "Yes."

"My God!" Happiness came so suddenly, the female lord jumped up from the ground, her long ears trembling as if they were equipped with small motors.

What the hell is Saturday? !She had believed in Picia for so many years, but Picia ignored her at all, and Saturday and Merlin were even willing to change the rules of the world for her.

Because other than this possibility, Ilea really couldn't think of how else she could defeat that group of strong men.

"Let's go," Li Yu said, "Let's go meet Watt together, he can solve the trouble you are encountering now."

Watt is Ge Lipeng's current Christian name, which was decided by Li Yu after seeking his opinion.

In another cosmic plane, James Watt created the first practical steam engine in 1776, which pushed human civilization into the age of steam.In order to commemorate this great inventor, people of later generations also named the unit of power watt.

Ge Lipeng chose this Christian name purely out of respect for his predecessors, not that he also hopes that he can be as famous as Watt and change the course of world history.

But I don't know if there is some kind of providence in the dark, what Ge Lipeng has created today is indeed enough to usher in a new era.

In order to let Ilea, who has almost no training and is a woman, quickly have the strength to defeat other opponents, besides the so-called empowerment in martial arts novels, the first thing Li Yu thinks of is of course the gun.

Hot weapons usually have an overwhelming advantage over cold weapons.

In 1519 AD, the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortes led an expedition team of more than 600 people to land on the east coast of Mexico. After several twists and turns, they finally conquered the Aztec Empire with a population of more than 500 million.

In 1532 AD, another Spanish explorer, Pizarro, took 168 people, invaded and later completed the occupation of the Inca Empire with a population of 600 million.

The brave Indians also performed poorly in the face of the colonists' guns.

When Li Yu found Ge Lipeng, the latter expressed that he wanted to make guns, but the laws and regulations at that time did not allow Ge Lipeng to make such an attempt.

But when he reincarnates in Bratis, of course there will be no such restrictions.

So Ge Lipeng was entrusted by Li Yu to start making guns.

In the words of Ge Lipeng, it is not difficult to make a gun.

Of course, in Bratis, which only has a medieval civilization, there are too many technical problems to be solved in order to manufacture familiar modern guns such as AK, Thompson, Mosin Nagant, etc.

In addition, the production of metal fixed bullets is also a problem.

So a more realistic choice is the flintlock.

"Guns or cannons are nothing more than finding a suitable tube, igniting the gunpowder inside, generating kinetic energy, pushing the projectile in front, and shooting the projectile out." Ge Lipeng said.

"It sounds really simple." Li Yu said, "A pipe plus an ignition device."

"Yes, this is a gun."

"According to different ignition methods, guns can be divided into fire door guns, arquebus guns, flintlock guns, revolver guns and percussion guns. Modern guns usually use thunderbolt impact to ignite."

"The advantage is that it is fast?"

"Yes, if you use a matchlock gun, you have to wait for the matchlock to burn to the fire plate, which usually takes a while, compared to a flintlock gun, which can be much faster, and on the battlefield, time determines life and death."

When it comes to guns, Ge Lipeng is like a different person, and he has become much more talkative.

"The ignition of the flintlock requires only a flint to hit the scythe to produce sparks. Both of these things are easy to get. The real hard work is the barrel.

"The first is the material. A good barrel must be able to withstand the pressure generated by tens of thousands of gunpowder explosions. Of course, if you don't plan to use it too many times, you can relax the standard a little bit, and there are also requirements on hardness. It is too soft. Not even hard.

"The barrel forged with the existing technology of Bratis Continent will contain a lot of impurities and trachoma. I can find a way to improve the quality of the steel, but there is actually a more trouble-free way."
