Utopia
Chapter 383: Can't afford the price
Why?
The reason is very simple.
One of his church friends was shot, with a small dot in front and a fist of flesh and blood bursting out in the back.
His spleen burst on the spot, and he died immediately without even being able to scream.
Obviously, Wayne didn't know a common knowledge, a common type of gunshot wound called cavity effect.
You should know that the dog-headed man shot 8×58mm rifle bullets, the standard rifle bullets used by the Iron Fist Empire and even its sphere of influence. Whether it is power or range, this bullet with a little bit of recoil has been used in many actual combats, and the number of corpses that fell under this bullet is definitely not what Wayne can imagine.
What's more, the bullet that hit Wayne was not an ordinary 8×58mm rifle bullet, but a ×67mm rifle bullet that the dog-headed man specially imported from overseas. The lethality and effective range of this bullet are more fierce than the 8×58mm rifle bullet, and it is also the first ammunition of the Japanese Mai people that can shoot and kill mages with magic power protection.
As a result, the brave Wayne finally got up from the bed, and his magic power was in a state of confusion.
[Recommended, the book is really useful, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. ]
The reason...
"What? Bullet residue?"
"Brave Sir, the bullet in your abdomen has some kind of substance that can suppress spells. When you were unconscious, we cleaned it very carefully."
"This...this..."
Hearing the explanation of the follower who treated him, Wayne was stunned.
There is really something wrong with this world!
Normal, shouldn't guys like dog-headed people be scum that can be abused at will?
Why are the dog-headed people here so strong that their combat effectiveness is comparable to the troops in the First Global War in his original world?
In fact, what the brave Wayne didn't know was that the dog-headed people he was facing now were just refugees fleeing from the Old World.
Not to mention the Old World, just the New World, the Kingdom of Negan has magnetic storm technology. Even if the Kahn Empire was unified and concentrated its national forces to attack the Kingdom of Negan, it might not be able to break through the first line of defense. As a result, the natives were turned into ashes by the pale arcs released by the magnetic storm coil.
"That means... Mr. Brave, you may not be able to use magic for a while."
"Without magic... then I have to fight the dog-headed man in hand-to-hand combat? How can I beat him?"
"Uh..."
As Dieli Bate said, Wayne's sword, without any magic power, can hardly beat the Manka revolving rifle with a bayonet of more than 1.4 meters in length.
As for the rumors outside about swordsmen defeating spearmen, swordsmen have to be equipped with shields to block the stabbing and hitting of the spears to have a chance to beat the spearmen.
Like Wayne, he doesn't even have a shield, and he has to face the "spear" that can fire bullets. What a loss?
This is it.
And after Wayne looked at the various things in the room that were supposed to be the remains of rifles, he found that this model weighed 3.7 kg, had a total length of 58 mm, and a barrel length of 657 mm. He didn't know how to feed the ammunition, but he only knew that the rifle that fired one shot after another was not something he could easily deal with.
He even doubted that he had the ability to imitate such a rifle for use on the battlefield?
"So, can it be imitated?"
"My brave man, please don't embarrass us..."
Even if there were no other restrictions on industrial and chemical technologies, Wayne knew that the ascetic church, which had no idea what flexibility was, would not use gunpowder weapons for decades or under enough pressure of destruction.
And after this injury, he began to feel that the knowledge of the original world he mastered was useless.
However, what he didn't know was that the coup troops that besieged the mansion had entered the mansion and kept throwing homemade black powder grenades to clean up every corner or corridor.
"Sir. We found the entrance to the secret passage, but Archduke Karl and his men have already escaped."
"Chase! If you can't catch up, you have to shoot him to death!"
"Yes."
For this armed coup, he prepared a lot of funds and even gunpowder weapons to deal with Archduke Karl and Lady Netram, who would not easily surrender.
If the muskets he imported from the south had a short range, hitting an enemy thirty steps away was almost as efficient as hitting the sun, he would have hoped to withdraw all the archers.
After all, if you don't have one or even three years of experience to train a qualified archer, you can't pull him out to fight. If you switch to muskets, he can definitely guarantee that it will be done in three months.
If possible, he really hopes that he can import dark elves or dog-headed people's breech-loading guns.
But is this possible?
The dog-headed people don't speak the language, are aggressive, and like to abuse and enslave humans. Trading with them is definitely not the best choice (if things go wrong, it's not impossible to be captured and made a slave).
If you change it to a dark elf... that's fine. However, this price is definitely not something that ordinary people can easily afford. Just the sharp blades made by the dark elves require an equal weight of gold as the purchase price. The advanced guns and weapons are even more terrible prices that are unacceptable to everyone in the Kahn Empire.
To put it bluntly, in trading with the dark elves, the buyer has to sell off his entire country without even knowing whether it will work.
The fees were too expensive, so expensive that many princes could not afford the price.
Therefore, the princes in the south did not know how to develop a front-loading matchlock gun. Of course, such a gun cannot be used on rainy days, and secondly, it cannot be used on windy days. The lit matchlock will go out very quickly, so there is no way. Take a shot.
And when shooting, keeping the match rope lit at all times is also an extremely challenging thing for the shooter. Until now, no one knew what kind of rope was resistant to burning. Not to mention that at the moment of shooting, the shooter has to turn his head to take a rough aim and shoot.
Taken together, with this difficulty... it's no wonder that few of the vassal states in the south are willing to use such troublesome weapons to fight.
So in his own opinion, the best gunpowder weapons currently are black powder grenades and landmines.
"My lord, Archduke Karl's troops have escaped."
"What's going on? You..."
"We didn't want it either. Mrs. Netrama's eldest brother came over with his troops..."
"Okay! Evacuate! Lay mines by the way to increase their memory!"
"yes!"
When he heard what his subordinates said, the planner of the failed military coup had a gloomy look on his face. He didn't want to encounter foreign aid or anything like that.
