I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 217 Technological guns and magic bullets (for subscription)

   "Not bad, it's pretty fast."

  Lin En rubbed Lydia's head as a sign of encouragement, then reached out and took the beautifully crafted musket over, and looked at it carefully.

   What he asked Lydia and others to research and make was naturally a flintlock gun!

  Compared with early muskets and arquebuses, flintlock guns have the advantages of fast rate of fire, light weight, small caliber, short gun body, and low recoil, and reduce the situation of being unable to shoot due to rain and damp.

   It is already considered a very perfect musket. It has been popular since it was invented by a watchmaker in the early 16th century, and it was gradually replaced in the 19th century.

   As for the more advanced percussion gun, although it is not impossible to make it, the ammunition of that thing needs to be filled with a primer. With Iyeta's current level of magic industry, it is not suitable for mass production.

  The flintlock only needs lead bullets to fire, and the cost is very low!

   "Dean Lynn, what is this, some kind of new alchemy tool?" Dennis asked in surprise, he didn't feel any trace of magic on it.

   "No, this is a technological creation, and it has not been magically modified." Lynn said with some expectation. "Let's go, let's try its power!"

  Led by Lynn, a group of people quickly arrived at the training ground. The rows of wooden dummies used for magic training in front were the best targets.

   "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lydia said excitedly. After making this musket, she has experimented several times and is very proficient.

   And this musket is also special, it is one size smaller than the one marked on the drawing, just so that halflings like her can also use it.

  Lin En shook his head, handed the musket to the guard on duty, and asked. "Have you ever shot an arrow before?"

"Lord Dean?" The guard was both excited and terrified. Holding this exquisite musket, he couldn't say enough excited words, but he still stuttered and was able to accurately hit the target within a hundred meters. .

   "Then you have a try, the way to operate it is very simple!" Lynn smiled and showed him a demonstration, almost teaching him by hand.

  The use of a flintlock gun is not difficult. As long as a person with a normal IQ learns a little kung fu, he will be able to master it quickly, reload, aim and fire.

Due to being too nervous, the guard had to study for more than an hour before he barely mastered the method of use, and then began to operate with difficulty, pressing the bullet into the barrel of the gun with a wooden hammer, raising the gun, aiming The wooden dummy not far ahead.

  The people present stared at the musket in the guard's hand with great interest, and at the same time wondered why Lynn asked someone who had never been in contact with it to demonstrate.

  Dennis and others showed contemplative expressions on their faces.

   "Be careful of the recoil!" Lynn reminded.

   The guard froze for a moment, then became even more nervous. What is this recoil?

  But he quickly realized that the moment he pulled the trigger, a huge thrust emerged from the barrel of the gun, almost tossing him over.

boom-

  At the same time, a violent thunder-like roar sounded in the training ground, accompanied by a puff of smoke from the musket, and the bullets loaded inside flew away at an extremely fast speed...

  Although there was a slight deviation due to unsuitability to the recoil, it still hit the target accurately.

  The upper part of the wooden dummy was blasted with a big hole almost the moment the gunshot sounded...

   "It's so fast!" Dennis couldn't help but say. With his outstanding eyesight and mental reaction ability, he could clearly see the bullet being fired from the barrel, and hit the target 40 meters away almost instantly.

  The power is also particularly amazing. You must know that the materials of these targets are all special, not ordinary wood materials, but they are still penetrated so easily.

  The guard froze in place, unable to believe that he did it himself.

  Kevin and the others were even more vaguely worried about whether such weapons would pose a threat to wizards.

  After all, an ordinary person who doesn't know magic can master it after an hour of study, which makes them a little worried.

  Thinking of this, Kevin volunteered to stand up and bless himself with a second-ring spell [Mage Shield], intending to use it as a target to test the power of the musket for himself.

   "Master Kevin..." The guard looked at Kevin who was fighting in front of him, holding the musket in his hand, his legs were shaking, and he didn't dare to shoot at all.

   "Don't talk nonsense, try it quickly, the weapon in your hand can't hurt me." Kevin said impatiently, standing fifty meters away.

  Under the constant urging of the crowd, the guard swallowed with difficulty, hesitated for more than ten seconds, but did not move, and finally Lydia snatched the musket over.

   "I'd better do it!" Lydia cleaned the barrel very skillfully, then took out a special bullet from her pocket maliciously, and asked.

   "Professor Kevin, can I have a try with this projectile?"

   "Of course." Kevin nodded casually.

   Receiving an affirmative answer, Lydia happily stuffed the special projectile into the barrel of the gun, paused before shooting, and reminded embarrassingly. "You'd better be careful, Professor Kevin!"

   Kevin waved his hand impatiently.

  Lydia took a deep breath, opened the flint clip, and then started aiming. About three seconds later, she pulled the trigger on Kevin.

   Bang—the sound like thunder rang out again.

  Although his mouth is full of indifference, Kevin's pupils have already turned into griffin-like eagle eyes, which is the shaping magic—【Dynamic Line of Sight】.

   When he really faced the muzzle of the gun, he felt how fast the bullet was. The moment the gunshot sounded, the attack had already arrived in front of him.

  Cross a distance of 50 meters, only for 0.2 seconds!

The lead bullet with an initial velocity of 250 meters per second quickly hit the [Mage Shield], and a trace of cracks soon appeared on the shield, but Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, because The projectile quickly disintegrated.

  However, being so close, Kevin quickly noticed the runes engraved on the surface of the projectile.

   Is this...burst?

  Kevin has limited attainments in alchemy, but he recognized it at a glance. This is the burst rune!

Immediately afterwards, the special projectile exploded straight away, and the disintegrated fragments scattered and turned into a denser rain of bullets, hitting the [Mage Shield] in less than 0.5 seconds. The solid magic barrier was instantly pierced...
