Chapter 130: Towers in the Sky

Why did the newly-built formation gun explode? Ramsey and the other three couldn't figure out the reason and thought it was caused by the imbalance of the five elements, but Zhang Ziqiang knew that this was because there was too much spiritual energy released at one time and the barrel could not withstand such a great amount of pressure.

"Olaura, install the handful you made as you did just now, smash the crystals and try to install only a small piece!"

After a while, Olaura installed the formation gun as he spoke and activated the formation from the air. With a "bang", it was normal now. The gun did not explode, but the fixture and the gun were overturned to the ground. It seemed that the backcoat of the formation gun was quite strong.

Zhang Ziqiang looked along the direction of the muzzle and saw that the iron ball also penetrated into the wall. This time, the hole was not pierced, but a hole more than ten centimeters deep was also made.

"It's done! Hahaha..."

Zhang Ziqiang laughed loudly. Olaura and Ramsey were so excited that they hugged each other tightly, laughing and crying. At this moment, Ramsey completely forgot that Olaura was Auburn's wife. Two such loud noises were made in the yard, which would naturally attract everyone to come and observe. Amilia and Kalyn were not at home, Xiao Cui and Xiao Mei Xiaolan rushed over, Dos and Auburn and more than ten others also came out of the room. When they saw Olaura and Ramsey hugging each other, everyone was stunned.

Zhang Ziqiang drove everyone away, left Auburn, explained what happened just now to him, which was not good to make other couples misunderstand. Ramsey also apologized to the couple in awkward manner. Unexpectedly, Auburn heard that he had made a small cannon and did not take the matter seriously at all. He just wanted to see how it was made.

Several people gathered together again, Zhang Ziqiang said: "The first explosion was because the spiritual energy was released too much. The space of the old-fashioned spirit gathering array had to be as large as three times higher than the spiritual energy outside in a short period of time. The speed of spiritual energy was released fast enough. Now there is no limit on the formation in the formation gun, so the spiritual energy is released faster, and the space in the tube is small. After the spiritual energy is released, it is squeezed into the tube, so the explosion occurred."

"In the second test, the formation gun was only equipped with a very small crystal, and it was a third-level crystal, so the spiritual energy released was much less, so there was no explosion. Ramsey, now you make a new one, and the tube above will not change, but the formation below needs to be changed, change the control formation, and make it automatically shut down every time it is started. If it still explodes, the working time will be shortened until it does not explode, and the time will be shortened by 30%. The things we make cannot be used after a few times."

"After this thing is made, it will be called a formation gun. O'Laura. You can change this tube. I'll draw a pattern for you. Change the iron balls to copper balls. You must install copper balls behind the tube. It is best to install the copper balls automatically before closing the barrel. A spiral pattern must be drawn out in the tube."

"After everything is done, install a confidential formation. This formation gun is listed as a first-level confidentiality in the family!"

The lord's mansion then rang for a month, and the formation gun finally met the requirements. Zhang Ziqiang tried the gun himself. The bullet had no shell, so there was no need to withdraw the shell. He needed to manually pull the bullet and even aimed at it, he could plant it every five seconds. But no matter how hard the barrel of Han Ling Wood was, it was a wooden structure after all. Even if it was clothed with the Vajra Formation, it was still different from the steel used for making guns and cannons in the world. When he heard Baru talk about this kind of small cannon, he thought it was cast in steel, but he didn't expect it to be made of Han Ling Wood.

Push the copper ball, aim the target with the gun, and the trigger is a shrapnel. Press it tightly to start the formation. After release, press it and then start it up. The barrel diameter is about five millimeters, which is similar to the rifles in the previous world.

Zhang Ziqiang tried several shots from a distance and near, and the effective range of this formation gun reached more than 400 meters. No matter how far it was, it was impossible to hit, and the accuracy could not be guaranteed.

The newly built formation gun is much better than the small cannons of the Kuangfeng Dynasty. One of them is the shooting speed. The Kuangfeng Dynasty gun needs to be loaded from the front, and it is very good to shoot two bullets per minute. This gun only needs crystals and can shoot one bullet every five seconds. It mainly takes some time to push the bullets onto the load.

The second is that the range is long, the inner wall of the formation barrel is rifled, and the bullets fired are rotating, and the kinetic energy obtained by the bullet is no less than that of the Gun Feng Dynasty, so the accuracy can be guaranteed at 400 meters. The small cannons produced by the Gun Feng Dynasty can only be fired at 300 meters, and rely on large-scale bomb rain to kill. If you want to say the accuracy, it is less than a hundred meters!

The formation gun has a long range, high accuracy and fast firing speed. For soldiers in the foundation-building stage, it can be regarded as a killer weapon. For the entire continent, once this gun is promoted, it will completely end the era of cold weapons confrontation!

But this kind of formation gun is not without shortcomings.

First, it is difficult to make a gun barrel. The whole gun must be made entirely by the weapon refiner. The most difficult thing is the production of the barrel rifle. The accuracy of Ramsey can meet the requirements when making it, but it is difficult to keep the rotation axis of the six rifles consistent. In this regard, O'Laura is much better than Ramsey.

This difficulty was solved by the milling machines and lathes designed by Zhang Ziqiang. The tools of the milling machines and lathes are made of metal spiritual materials and diamond arrays. They are much harder than the cold spirit wood without the array and are not difficult to process.

For this reason, Zhang Ziqiang had to take the lead in using a steam machine at home. After testing, the hardness of ordinary iron is not as large as the combination of Han Ling Wood and Vajra Array. Zhang Ziqiang didn't know how to make steel pipes and alloys, so he could only use Han Ling Wood. Fortunately, the rifle of the barrel uses shade patterns, and there is no gunpowder corrosion during use. The life of the barrel can reach 60,000 bullets.

Han Ling Wood is the most hard spiritual wood and is widely used. Although it has a long history of ingredient, it is planted in mainland China, so there is no shortage of materials. There is no problem with using the spirit gathering array for decades. This formation gun has a very high cost performance.

The second biggest disadvantage of the formation gun is not so easy to solve, because the gun body uses the spirit release module in the spirit gathering array. The crystal is decomposed through the formation and converted into spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is also a substance containing a large amount of energy. Therefore, the utilization rate of crystal is not like that of ordinary formations. First, the crystal is converted into spiritual energy, and then the spiritual energy is converted into five elements energy. Finally, it is applied to the five elements energy, and after consumption, it turns into heat energy, kinetic energy, force field, etc.

This gun uses the rapid release of spiritual energy to generate pressure, and the spiritual energy is wasted in vain. It can be said that the energy of crystal stone has not reached one percent compared to other formations.

Like a third-level crystal, the flame array used for kitchen stoves can be used for three or four months, but for this gun, it can only shoot out one hundred bullets. The spirit gathering array originally consumes crystals. The small spirit gathering array comes with a spirit-building module, and requires seven to eight third-level crystals every day. This formation gun releases spiritual energy much faster than the spirit gathering array, so it naturally consumes a lot.

The third-level crystal can fire 100 bullets, the second-level crystal can fire 500 bullets, and the first-level crystal can fire 2,000 bullets. There is no way to think about the first-level crystal. There is no place to buy the national control. The second-level crystal is Zhang Ziqiang's best choice, but the cost will be terrible.

Not to mention the cost of making copper balls and formation guns, each soldier only fires more than 200 bullets per day, which is necessary for these recruits who have never been exposed to the attack method of formation guns. One second-level crystal is consumed every two days, and the current market price of one second-level crystal is more than 20 gold coins, and a soldier consumes crystals every month to reach 300 gold coins!

In addition to the copper balls and other expenses of soldiers, the number-one soldier needs to be saved for 400 gold coins per month. Zhang Ziqiang only has 4,000 private troops, and needs 1.6 million gold coins per month. Such training lasts for three months to half a year. Once a war occurs, the consumption of crystal stones will be greater. This is only Zhang Ziqiang's 4,000 private troops. If the entire Al Kingdom is spread out, the six or seven hundred thousand troops are equipped with formation guns, and there is no need for other countries to invade, the Al Kingdom's own economy will collapse first.

Zhang Ziqiang has tried to use other formation principles to make guns, but he is still in a state of being half-understandable about the formation, and has not found a formation that can have such an effect. This path will not work for the time being. Perhaps after he returns to his previous world, combining the technological system of the two worlds, there may not be a better method. Now it can only be used like this.

After three consecutive months, until the end of the 730th year of the Divine Calendar, Zhang Ziqiang finally came to a conclusion after repeated experiments: if the crystal problem is not solved, this formation gun is just a castle in the air for his family!

However, it is very difficult to solve the problem of crystal stones. In ancient times, crystal stones were like iron ore today, and it was not until the crystal wheels were cut into the forest. However, if you want to obtain crystal stones through crystal stones, it takes a long time to accumulate. Although Rositing also had crystal stone wheels, it was not enough to produce crystal stones until the age of time. If you want to obtain crystal stones through this method, the daylily will be cold.

Humans on the mainland have never stopped studying the issue of crystal regeneration, but except for crystal wheels that can regenerate crystals, there is no other way, and there is no basic theoretical foundation and idea.

Zhang Ziqiang is not short of money, and there are also two-level and three-level crystals on the market. In theory, you can buy crystals if you have money. However, if you want to supply 4,000 private troops to train guns at the same time, you also need to reserve necessary crystals to deal with wars. The crystals needed are not small. Such a large-scale procurement of crystals will inevitably attract the attention of the kingdom, and it is not fun to expose the existence of formation guns.

The small cannons of the Qianfeng Dynasty are like a killer weapon in the mainland. Zhang Ziqiang's newly built formation gun has better performance than the small cannon. Once exposed, it will cause a sensation in the mainland. All forces move, swallowing him up to nothing left. Even the Kingdom of Al cannot protect him and this formation gun.

The purpose of his gun was to strengthen his strength to resist aggression, not to attract covetousness and cause trouble to him. The formation gun has now been produced in a fixed manner, but at present, it can only be trained quietly by the private army, and cannot be detected by the outside world.

Because of the huge consumption of crystals, Zhang Ziqiang's newly-built formation gun is like a mirror and a castle in the sky.
