The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 32: Dwarven Guns and Friendship
"Well, actually, the weapons we use are similar to your dwarven muskets, but our gunpowder is ignited by something called a primer, which is the same principle as the thing you put in the small box behind the musket to ignite the gunpowder.

But we fix the gunpowder and primer together, which is convenient for combat loading and cleaning, but it is more expensive. "

Dick said in disbelief: "What, you guys also use gunpowder guns to fight? No wonder you know how to aim this thing, I thought you used a dwarven musket before!"

Feng Yu knew that if he didn't show off his skills today, he would be mistaken for a spy.

He raised the musket and took a look at the entire body and muzzle of the musket, then found a small branch and started to cut it. After he finished cutting it, he asked Dick for two straw ropes and tied them to the body and one end of the barrel of the musket.

The musket was handed to Dick, who was told to align the depression in the wood of the gun body with the tip of the wooden stick at the muzzle, and then to aim at the target in a straight line and shoot.

After Dick fired a shot according to Feng Yu's instructions, he muttered, "It's too low. I was aiming at the center of the target, but I hit it below the target. Is this thing you use for aiming? It doesn't work!"

Dick, the clan leader, was very embarrassed that the shot missed the target, so he quickly put the blame on Feng Yu. Feng Yu cut the branch at the muzzle of the gun shorter and asked Dick to try again.

The gunpowder and primer used in the dwarf muskets are very precious, but as the bullet gets closer and closer to the target Dick is aiming at, he also understands the importance of this thing.

Because the bullets of the dwarven muskets were precious, large-scale training was not possible. During battle, most musketeers would just aim at a general range and fire, relying on luck to achieve victory. Those who were hit by the bullet considered themselves unlucky.

As a patriarch of the dwarves, Dick naturally has some strong skills. He has a good sense of guns and can hit the target every time with a musket within a range of 50 meters, but it is limited to hitting large targets such as human bodies.

Feng Yu could not even see a circle on the human-shaped target of the dwarves, and the distance was only 20 to 30 meters. He knew that the accuracy of the dwarves' muskets was not very good. The rifling was probably designed to increase the range and ballistic stability, so accuracy was basically out of the question.

After seven extravagant shots, Dick's musket was able to hit the target he was aiming at, and the gun was calibrated. He handed the musket to another dwarf and instructed him to shoot according to the aiming method Feng Yu taught him.

After three shots, the dwarf musketeer had found the correct way to use it and was able to roughly hit the large white dot Dick had painted in the center of the target.

Dick pulled his beard braid in surprise, grabbed Feng Yu's hand, and said excitedly: "Brother Darren, is this how you aim your muskets? It's amazing!"

In order to gain some reputation with the various races in the camp, Feng Yu was too embarrassed to pull his hand back. He shook his head and said, "When we make firearms, such aiming tools are directly installed on the gun body. They are more sophisticated and fit the gun body reasonably, so the aiming effect is better.

In a normal training environment, a shooter must hit the target 100% of the time within a distance of 100 meters to be qualified! "

"Brother Darren..."

Dick naturally knew the great effect this thing had on improving combat effectiveness, and he pulled Feng Yu aside, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Just now, he misunderstood that someone was trying to find out the secrets of the dwarves, but he didn't expect that he would turn around and want to obtain their technology. This made Chief Dick feel a little embarrassed to speak up.

Feng Yu looked at the embarrassed Dick and said with a smile: "Since you call me brother, it is my duty to help the dwarf brothers. Next time when you make guns, I will help you design a targeting system."

Dick laughed happily and patted Feng Yu hard, just like the dwarf blacksmith just now.

"Let's get started now, I can't wait.

I have to say, Darren, your wood carving skills are really poor. You can draw the drawings of the workpiece and I will do it myself. This way the accuracy should be greatly improved."

Feng Yu had seen the habit of dwarves patting each other on the shoulders, but unfortunately he was not sitting on the ground now. He thought to himself that if he hadn't practiced this before, he would have let you guys beat his butt until it was swollen today!

The original aiming system is very simple. There is no need to shoot a ghost in the head from 800 miles away, so there is no need for a card table to adjust the shooting distance. It is enough to design a simple and practical machine aiming system with only two parts. It is very simple.

Because Dick disassembled the musket, Feng Yu also saw the firing mechanism of the dwarf musket. What Feng Yu was concerned about was the spring. He wanted to know if there was any elastic metal in the world.

There is naturally no spring, but there are two elastic metal sheets fixed in the groove to provide power for the hammer. Although the hammer's movement distance is not long, it is very powerful, which also makes Feng Yu look up to the metallurgical technology of this world.

Feng Yu shared his skills, and Dick no longer kept them to himself, and gave Feng Yu a detailed introduction to the primer that he was concerned about.

It turns out that this thing is a mixed material powder invented by the dwarves. It is made into small cubes after adding water. After drying, a layer of resin is coated on the outside. After drying again, it becomes this block-shaped primer.

Its advantage is that it can explode if hit hard or even dropped on hard objects, and after the resin on the surface dries, this block primer is also moisture-proof.

The disadvantage is that there are too many ash marks left after the explosion, plus the unburned resin, which will adhere to the primer chamber and is difficult to clean. But it is not good not to clean it. It needs to be cleaned once every twenty firings, otherwise it will affect the use.

After Feng Yu and Dick designed the aiming mechanism, Dick used a small piece of copper metal to make it in a short time. After installing it on the musket and adjusting it several times, the effect was very good. This made Dick very happy. He was so grateful to Feng Yu that he insisted on taking Feng Yu out for a drink before letting him go.

Feng Yujue thought that if the Earth's way of thinking wasn't popular in Green Continent, Dick would have to force him to become sworn brothers today.

Feng Yu was originally planning to attend Nicole's class in the afternoon but he didn't make it.

Feng Yu discovered that there was an elf hiding not far away, secretly observing him. He had sharp eyes and ears and keen senses now, so he had already noticed this, but he did not point it out. He knew that this elf should have been sent by Anthony to keep an eye on him.

Feng Yu also discovered that the alcohol in this world was really unpalatable, not even as good as the beer on Earth. Beer had a hint of malt aroma, but the alcohol in this world just tasted like swill. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to get along with the dwarves, he really wouldn't drink this stuff. It was simply murdering his taste buds.
