Chapter 19 Conquering the Blacksmith Guild
“Only five grenades...”
Looking at the five grenades on the table, Davis couldn’t help showing a thoughtful expression. This was too few. Bar?
“I’m sorry, Your Highness the First Prince.” Lou Gao explained: “When we first made the grenade, we didn’t know what the dosage of gunpowder was, so we did a lot of experiments and wasted some black powder. After the dosage is determined, there is only enough black powder left to produce five grenades."
"That's it."
Davis nodded slightly, and there was no doubt that he was there. The dose of black powder was too small, and the grenade would not be as powerful as it should be; if the dose was too much, it might explode in advance and accidentally injure one's own people. It is indeed necessary to conduct experiments and take precautions. Prepare!
"So these five grenades are the finished products of Master Lou Gao. I wonder how powerful they will be after they explode. Can they kill the Soul Emperor?"
As he said this, he picked up a hand grenade. A fine iron grenade, as heavy as a big stone, filled with sharp iron pieces and probably not containing much gunpowder.
There is a lead underneath the grenade. As long as you pull the lead, the grenade will explode after a few seconds!
Lou Gao smiled slightly and said: "Well, seeing is believing. Please come with us, Your Highness, and we will demonstrate it to you personally."
"That's fine, let's go."
After that, everyone came to a wilderness outside the city. It was surrounded by dense woods, towering ancient trees, and sparsely populated. It was indeed suitable for testing powerful weapons. place.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, please keep an eye on it!" After speaking, Lou Gao handed a grenade to Silong and ordered: "Throw this grenade to me, remember to throw it far away! "
" Yes, master!"
Silong pulled off the fuse. As the fuse was pulled open, white smoke began to appear from below. At the moment when the white smoke came out, he quickly threw the grenade ten times. Next to a rock five meters away!
boom!
In an instant, the grenade exploded with a deafening roar. The rock behind him shattered instantly, and countless iron pieces scattered in all directions, shooting towards the surrounding trees.
The flying iron pieces were enough to penetrate the trunk of the tree held by three people. For a moment, the surrounding trees shook, and countless fallen leaves were flying in the sky, and the fallen flowers were colorful!
Li Hu, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, was horrified yet excited, and sighed: "I never thought this little grenade could be so powerful!"
"Uncle Li, what do you think of this grenade?" How powerful is it? Can it kill the Soul Emperor?"
With a small grenade, Davis didn't expect it to kill the Soul Saint, as long as it could kill the Soul Emperor.
Li Hu nodded when he heard this and said excitedly: "First Prince, according to Lao Nu, the power of this grenade is completely capable of killing a soul master with the Soul Emperor cultivation level!
It can even injure. Some non-defense soul saints, such as Lao Nu, if this grenade explodes in front of me, even if I activate the martial soul possession and And be prepared for defense, you may still be injured.
If there are more grenades, even the old slave will be killed!"
Li Hu couldn't help but sigh. Qian, I thought it was not easy for him to practice. It took him decades of hard training to reach the Soul Saint stage, but now he can't compare to this small grenade.
Firearms that can kill the Soul Emperor have already appeared. Is it still far away from the advent of firearms that can kill the Soul Saint and Contra?
Alas! Times have changed after all! Li Hu can only express such emotion in his heart now.
After receiving a positive answer, Davis asked Lou Gao again: "Master Lou Gao, I don't know how much black powder is needed to make a grenade like this, and the killing range of the grenade. Have you ever experienced it? Measurement? "
Lou Gao replied bluntly: "Back to the eldest prince, it takes a lot to make such a grenade. Five taels of black powder, the killing range is about five to eight meters. After it exceeds eight meters, the iron piece will be affected by air resistance, resulting in a greatly reduced power.
It may be able to kill ordinary people, but it will definitely not hurt. It’s time for the soul master. Also, after pulling the fuse, the grenade must be thrown out immediately, otherwise it will explode in seven seconds!”
"The maximum killing range is only eight meters..." Davis was slightly disappointed, but after considering the power and cost of the grenade, he was relieved.
The manufacturing cost of a grenade is definitely not more than five gold soul coins. Compared with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow with two hundred gold soul coins, it is already much better. That’s it. What kind of bike do you want?
And Davis plans to arm the Star Luo Empire's army with grenades. When the time comes, tens of thousands of soldiers will throw grenades together.
Even if the killing range of a grenade is only eight meters, it can still make a big hole in the ground. And if there are flying soul masters, they can even carry out targeted bombing in the air.
Thinking of this, Davis laughed out loud, "Congratulations to Master Lou Gao, you have created a weapon that is enough to change the pattern of Douluo Continent. You will definitely leave your name in history and be famous for generations to come!"
" Haha, thank you for the compliment, eldest prince. Prize. To be honest, if it weren’t for the black powder and blueprints provided by the eldest prince, it would be impossible for me to build such a powerful weapon.”
Lou Gao was also very happy, and a grenade could kill him. Soul Emperor, what about ten? What about a hundred? What about a thousand? You must know that the cost of making a grenade is only five gold soul coins.
Who dares to underestimate the blacksmith now? Who says blacksmiths can't change Douluo Continent?
"Haha, Master Lou Gao, there is no need to be modest. Without your superb forging skills, I alone would not be able to make grenades in my life.
In addition, I would also like to invite you and the Blacksmith Association to join the Star Luo Empire and work with me to produce more and more powerful firearms for the Star Luo Empire! "
At this time, Davis also said the biggest purpose of his trip. He came to Gengxin City for two purposes.
The first is to make grenades, and the second is to conquer The Blacksmith Guild, turning the Blacksmith Guild into weapons research for the Star Luo Empire Department.
"Ah this..."
Master Lou Gao hesitated, speaking from his heart, he really wanted to join Davis's camp, if he could develop something powerful enough to kill Titled Douluo. The firearm is enough to make yourself famous forever!
But he was the president of the blacksmiths' association and had to think about other blacksmiths.
Seeing Lou Gao's hesitation, Davis thought it was because he was unwilling, so he quickly said: "Master, don't refuse in a hurry. I know that the master wants to improve the status and treatment of the blacksmith.
If you are willing to join the Star Luo Empire, with your contribution to the research and development of firearms, you will definitely make people all over the continent look at you with admiration, and more people will sincerely respect you. If you want to become a blacksmith, your status will definitely rise.
I will also ask my father to improve the treatment of blacksmiths. With the support of the Xingluo royal family, I believe no one will dare to look down on blacksmiths. , what do you think!”
“Okay! Since the eldest prince has said this, I will sell my life to the eldest prince!”
Lou Gao immediately agreed. This way, he no longer had any worries and could focus all his energy on researching firearms.
