Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1042: Gunmanship is also a method, and trajectory is also a way

"what?"

Ding Shian stared dumbfounded at the iron lump in He Songling's hand, as if he had seen a ghost.

That was the quintessential M16A4 fully automatic assault rifle, widely adopted by the US military and subsequently used by nearly a hundred other countries over the years. Its wide range of applications and the sheer number of users and troops it served even surpassed the classic Soviet AK-47, earning it the title of one of the six most famous rifles of our time.

"How about this? In a martial arts or fantasy novel, this would be a treasured weapon."

Although He Songling could not "create things," he could temporarily materialize the things in his mind into his own world based on his understanding and thinking. However, as time passed, the power attached to them would weaken and gradually disappear.

According to He Songling's estimation, it would probably disappear within his own world in about three to five years. Furthermore, and most importantly, the key to judging whether one can "create" something is whether one can take it out of their own world.

A true "thing" exists objectively. No matter what environment or world it is born in, as long as it exists, it will continue to exist without external forces, regardless of the world it is in.

All the things He Songling created in his world were manifestations of his imagination and the power of the world; once they were taken to the outside world, they would immediately vanish into thin air.

Of course, although it cannot "create things" or "create people," it can be used temporarily in one's own world just like the real thing.

"One of the six most famous guns in the world, is that something? In those martial arts or fantasy novels, this would be something that the whole world would fight over. Giving you this thing is for universality, so that when you go abroad to places where guns and cannons are used, it will save you some of the adaptation process."

He Songling proudly brandished the automatic rifle in his hand at Ding Shian.

"No, Master, you..."

Ding Shian didn't know what to say. After stammering for a while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "So all these years you haven't properly taught me, and this last time you're being so serious is just to teach me how to shoot?"

"That's not all!" He Songling slammed his hand on the ground, and another heavy cannon appeared. "There are more cannons!"

Ding Shian's eyelids twitched as he looked at the heavy artillery, which was clearly from World War II. "I heard that you personally operated heavy artillery when you went to the battlefield. Could this be it...?"

"Hey, that's it, the old buddy! It's intimidated all sorts of strange people, fought the Japanese, and later helped the Allies bomb Hitler on the European battlefield."

He Songling wasn't a military enthusiast, and of course he knew that newer weapons were better, but this thing was just a manifestation of his own thoughts and the power of the world. If he wasn't familiar with it, he might not be able to use it properly.

He knew nothing about the artillery and missiles that modern military powers were equipped with.

Guns are simple things; the firing principle is basic, and improvements are limited to the rate of fire and rotation speed. Slight deviations don't affect usability, since every gun, and even every single gun, will have minor differences. But larger, more complex things can't be handled this way.

It was precisely because of this that He Songling only brought out guns and cannons. Otherwise, he would have brought out tanks, armored vehicles, missile silos, fighter jets, armed helicopters, airplanes, rockets, and satellites, just like Kudo Yusaku taught his son in Hawaii.

He Songling felt unusually out of touch, and it seemed that when he returned to Trinity University, he would have to ask them for information on the kind of "superhuman firearms" that Zhao Fangxu had discussed.

“What I mean is… these things are…” Ding Shian still didn’t know what to say.

"Hey, it's not like I'm telling you to illegally possess a gun in the country. That's a slide you can't even touch."

He Songling looked relaxed. "My goal isn't even to ensure that one day in a country where you can own guns, you'll have a horse and stirrups, and that you'll have weapons to use and know how to use them. The local shooting ranges will teach you that."

Regarding the use of modern firearms, to be honest, even though I was on the battlefield back in the day, times have changed, and they are far more professional in this area. Besides, with your capabilities, you don't need artillery, missiles, tanks, or airplanes; a rifle or machine gun is sufficient for most situations.

"Then you still..."

"I'm giving you these things to make you realize something. I know about the vow you made when you were little, the vow that nothing could ever hurt you, right?" He Songling asked.
“Yes.” Ding Shian nodded. “When I was young, I was afraid of the fragility of life. Later, as I grew older, gained more experience and knowledge, I realized that natural disasters are impossible to resist with human effort. When faced with such things, one can only accept one's fate. But what I want to pursue is within the realm of 'humanity'…”

"Alright, alright, no need to say more." He Songling interrupted him with a gesture. "The purpose of teaching you this is to dispel this wrong idea. Who says that humans cannot resist the might of Heaven, and who says that humans cannot wield the might of Heaven?"

"Huh?" Ding Shian didn't understand He Songling's meaning. "Does relying on external forces count? Besides, what kind of divine authority is this?"

"Of course it counts to use external forces. Didn't you learn that when you were in school? One of the essential differences between humans and animals is the ability to make and use tools. That's the wisdom of 'humans.' It's definitely not what some idiots are saying, that standing up and walking makes you human. Well, Tyrannosaurus Rex walked standing up too!"

He Songling still couldn't forget the harm that old dog Zhang Ziyang had done to him, and his words were full of sarcasm towards him: "Only idiots like Wugensheng and Zhang Huaiyi could believe such a thing. The biggest difference between people is that they can think, master knowledge, and pass it on."

Haven't you heard this saying? Mathematics is the language of God, the language of the universe. If all the species in the universe met and couldn't understand each other, then mathematics would surely become a common language.

“Uh, this math…” Ding Shian’s face immediately turned bitter upon hearing this.

"Well, don't worry, I don't know math either." He Songling, who scored only 36 points in the college entrance exam in his previous life, didn't dare to discuss math with others. The fact that he could now solve a quadratic equation was a result of his improved mental abilities after becoming an immortal.

"What I mean is to tell you that humans can also grasp the divine, or rather, the laws and language of the universe. An explosion is an explosion, regardless of its size; it is all divine power. The hydrogen bomb uses nuclear fusion to explode, which is the same energy as the core of the sun, only differing in yield."
