The sudden explosion of projectiles was obviously beyond Kevin's expectation. Even with his excellent dynamic vision, he could clearly see the rain of bullets flying towards him. At such a close distance, it was already too late to react.

Kevin could only watch helplessly as the flying projectile fragments hit his body. Kevin was so frightened that he backed away. However, he soon found that his body only felt slight pain, and there were not a few holes, not even any skin.

break.

"If what Lydia put in just now was a special iron pill, you would have been seriously injured now..." Phillip looked at the frightened Kevin in a funny way, and was not surprised by this result.

Because this explosive projectile was made by him, and its power has been tested a long time ago. Its power is roughly equivalent to the second-level magic spell - explosive fireball, which can break through the [Mage Shield], and the remaining kinetic energy is not enough.

It could harm the human body, so when Lydia took out this thing just now, he didn't say anything to stop it.

Seeing that everyone on the scene had expressions of laughter, Kevin was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but glare at Lidya.

The halfling girl stuck out her tongue and hid behind Lin En. She just saw Professor Kevin talking so unbearably about the power of the musket, so she wanted to demonstrate it to him.

After all, this musket was made by her own hands, and it is the finished product she is most proud of.

Linn on the side also said in a funny tone. "Professor Kevin, Lidya has warned you before. If you pay more attention, you won't be in such an embarrassing situation."

Although the power of the musket is good, as long as a three-ring wizard is serious, it cannot be a deterrent at all, mainly because Kevin underestimates the enemy.

Of course, Lydia also went too far. Although he could guess that Lydia had tested the power of the projectiles, the attack that could break the [Mage Shield] was still quite dangerous, so he picked up the musket and used it

He hit the halfling girl on the head several times as a warning.

Lydia covered her head in pain, looking pitiful.

"By the way, how did it feel to face the musket just now, Professor Kevin?" Lin En asked curiously.

"It's amazing. An ordinary person who doesn't know magic can master it in just one hour and gain the power to threaten official wizards." Kevin's expression became very solemn. If the threat from the Holy See was not right in front of him, he would have

Linn will definitely be advised to keep the gun and the method of making it top secret, or even destroy it.

Because before this, there was an insurmountable gap between wizards who mastered magic and civilians, especially after becoming a second-level wizard, you can learn the all-round protective magic of [Mage Shield].

Without the blessing of extraordinary power, even if the opponent holds a crossbow or giant sword, it will be difficult to break through the wizard's protection, but their magic can easily kill the enemy.

The emergence of muskets broke this convention, allowing a civilian without magic to initially possess the ability to threaten wizards.

However, Kevin also saw the shortcomings at a glance. The main reasons were that the reloading was too slow and the concealment was too poor. The sound of the musket firing could be heard hundreds of meters away.

Moreover, special projectiles made without the use of rune magic would require at least two to three shots to break through the [Mage Shield].

Kevin expressed his feelings very solemnly.

Lin En also nodded. He was naturally aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the flintlock gun, but he was a little surprised by the explosive projectile developed by Philip and others.

It seems that magical transformation of the musket may also be a good route. Since there are explosions, it may not be impossible to have bullets such as freezing, thunder and lightning.

"How much does this kind of musket cost? How long does it take to make?" Raphael asked quickly.

During the days he stayed at the port of Iyetta, he had just finished his assessment of the internal combustion engine and submitted a report to the parliament. Unexpectedly, Linn gave him a new surprise.

He saw clearly the demonstration just now. This thing called a musket is not only incredibly powerful, enough to break through armor, but it is also very easy to use and can easily form combat effectiveness. It can effectively make up for the lack of low-end combat effectiveness in the Wizarding Land.

.

This is also an issue that Parliament has been worried about.

According to the deductions of some great wizards, when there is a real large-scale battle, the Holy See may first send out a large number of low-quality serf soldiers, use divine magic to strengthen their will, charge in groups, and consume the magic power of the wizards, while those composed of clergymen

, the God's Punishment Army, and the Griffin Knights form an elite, and they can wait for work, and the victory or defeat will be decided in one battle.

There is no so-called army in the Wizarding Land, only some security teams responsible for maintaining order. Although recruitment and training have been restarted, they do not have high hopes for this.

Because the army recruited temporarily has no combat experience at all, it would be good if it doesn't collapse thousands of miles in a real fight.

So much so that some people suggested that we should let those wizard apprentices go to the battlefield. They don't have much magic, but they can still deal with the serf soldiers. However, this was quickly refuted because they were completely injured.

Although these apprentices no longer have much potential, they have been trained through hard work, and it would be a pity to be used as cannon fodder.

The muskets appeared at the right time, which meant that they could build a combat-ready team in a short time, and they could still use them against low-level clergymen without preparation.

"It probably took us more than ten days to make this musket according to the drawings," Philip said in a deep voice.

"The biggest difficulty in making a flintlock gun is the seamless barrel. I solved it using magic, but it is not that easy for those craftsmen."

You can't develop a corresponding alchemy formation specifically for this gun barrel, right?

"This can be solved with an internal combustion engine, and then just drill holes in a solid steel pipe." Lin En said, then made a rough estimate and spoke again. "A factory with 1,500 people.

With our factory, it shouldn’t be a problem to produce five hundred muskets a month.”

"How is this possible?" Philip was in disbelief.

Doesn't that mean that an average of three people can make a musket in a month?

"Of course it's possible. As long as we divide the work and standardize the process, nothing is impossible!" Lin En said decisively.

Nowadays, whether it is the Sekas Empire or the craftsmen in the Wizarding Land, they still follow the traditional manufacturing method, that is, one craftsman makes an item alone. Compared with the modern division of labor, the efficiency is much lower.

Already...
