Arknights is too real, right?

"Speaking of which, what is gunpowder?"

Indra asked him what gunpowder was, and Xia Feng became depressed.

Of course he knew what gunpowder was, but he couldn't explain it in a few words.

Gunpowder is just a general term. In fact, the main component of bullets is nitrocellulose, and the structure is quite complex. After all, bullets are a sophisticated product that integrates physics, chemistry, materials science, aerodynamics and technology.

After thinking about it, Xia Feng could only say awkwardly.

"Gunpowder! Don't you know? Didn't you miss the flowers during the Chinese New Year? The kind that make sparks pop when you light a match."

"Why do you do that?"

"Just entertainment, fun, and fun."

Everyone was silent.

Wei Na touched her chin as if thinking.

"Xia Feng, you are talking about gunpowder, is it Asia Origin Stone Powder?"

"What is Yayuan Stone Powder?"

Vina blushed.

"Ya Yuan Stone Powder is... well, I don't read much, Kate, please explain to him."

Kate nodded immediately.

"Sub-Originite powder is a substance extracted after crushing the energy-exhausted Originite remains. It has a low ignition point and a high explosion speed. Although it is not as precious as the finished Originite, it is also a very rare flammable solid.

Xia Feng understood.

It turns out that this is called the generation gap. To be precise, it should be the world gap.

Compared with his original world, the world of Terra not only has different races, but also different natural environments, and even the natural substances that exist in the world are different.

No wonder he always felt something was strange.

Combined with the world view of Arknights, Xia Feng understood instantly.

If the development of civilization is compared to a technology tree, then the technology tree in the world of Terra is undoubtedly very distorted.

If a civilization wants to move from primitive to technological era, the most important thing is energy!

In his original world, the first widely used energy source by humans was coal, which later led to the birth of textile machines, steam engines, wired communications, blast furnace steelmaking and other technologies.

With the development of civilization, humans have developed technologies to use petroleum and electricity as new energy sources, and what followed were engines, internal combustion engines, automobiles, aircraft, converter steelmaking, and so on.

Later, various cutting-edge energy sources and technologies emerged rapidly, including atomic energy, microelectronics technology, information technology, biotechnology, space technology, ocean technology, and later manned space technology. The development of human civilization is no longer limited to our own planet. .

This is a normal trajectory for the development of civilization. This step-by-step development constitutes a normal-shaped technological tree.

However, the world of Terra is completely different.

For thousands of years, due to the lack of natural resources, the world's technological development has been very slow, basically in a primitive state.

Until one day, a horrific natural disaster occurred.

This made the already powerless residents of Terra even worse, and the continuation of civilization was once on the verge of collapse.

Many years later, desperate people accidentally discovered it—the Source Stone—from the ruins after a natural disaster.

At this point, the world has changed dramatically.

This stone containing powerful energy fell into the technology tree of the world of Terra like a golden carat, causing the development of civilization to instantly skip all steps and jump directly to the level of technological subversion.

The energy contained in a small source stone can even drive a behemoth like the Rhode Island base to move in the desert. Using the source stone as a new energy source, the world quickly established a powerful technological system.

Heavy industry and manufacturing rose rapidly, various scarce materials and items began to be mass-produced, and efficient means of transportation were born one after another. Until finally, people even used the energy in the Origin Stone to build a mobile city-state that could avoid natural disasters.

This explosive and rapid development constitutes the twisted technology tree of the world of Terra.

Affected by natural disasters, the exchange of information between countries in the world is very closed, which also leads to a characteristic, that is, the level of civilization in the world of Terra is very uneven.

Large countries at the T0 level, such as Colombia, Victoria, Ursus, Longmen Special Economic Zone, etc., these economically developed countries have developed technology to a quite terrifying level. For example, "Rheinland Life" supported by Colombia has begun to secretly source... Stone human experiments, and actions related to artificial humans.

And some relatively closed and backward small countries, such as Kjerag, Rembiton, Rutland, Caprini, Casimir, etc., have been left behind in terms of technology.

Here, another problem arises.

As we all know, territory represents resources and strategy, but why don’t those countries with powerful technology annex these small countries by force?

The answer is simple.

That is, in the process of scientific and technological development in this world, military development is basically zero.

Except for Source Stone, there are no substances such as machine guns, cannons, tanks, missiles, etc. in the world. The number of Source Stone is very rare and can only be mined in dangerous areas after natural disasters. Therefore, these precious Source Stones are also Basically invested in industrial development.

In addition, some people in this world can learn to use spells, which are commonly known as warlocks. This is an efficient and powerful attack method. Compared with spells, the value of ordinary firearms has been reduced again.

So except for Originium guns, there are almost no guns in this world.

Xia Feng has witnessed it with his own eyes. Lingdong can directly tear off steel bars with his physical strength, and the infected person who was crushed by several heavy steel bars did not die. In addition, Wei Na can also smash the big iron in the warehouse with one hammer. The door flew open.

This confirmed Xia Feng's speculation.

People in this world are far superior to ordinary people in his original world in terms of strength, speed, physical endurance, etc. In this world where everyone is a monster, the significance of ordinary firearms becomes even more obvious. Weak, not to mention, there are infected people in the world who can use their bodies to activate Originium skills.

The melee weapons in everyone's hands are basically mixed with substances in Source Stone, and the ammunition of long-range weapons, such as Angel's blunderbuss, Razer's pistol, Meteor's crossbow, Meteor's bow and arrows, etc., are all composed of Source Stone. , and then the lethality can be extremely exaggerated.

After figuring this out, Xia Feng suddenly felt enlightened.

I am really a little genius in reasoning!

This is the right thing to do. Otherwise, if you throw two atomic bombs at the enemy before you even see what they look like, how can you still play? Save Amiya? Then I'll save the shit!

This is just right, don't use guns, don't use cannons, and don't be a pervert, just a male banker who comes out to wrestle head-on!
