The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 32 The King and Queen

After Jean Valjean said that he would give Leo a gift in return, he quickly left the room. After a while, he saw him coming in from the outside with a beautiful box.

However, when Martin saw the box, his expression changed suddenly, he went up to Jean Valjean, and said seriously, "You can't do this?"

"I'm going to do that." Jean Valjean pushed back mercilessly.

"It's not yours." Martin said seriously.

"No, it's mine." Jean Valjean confronted each other and said, "Don't forget, you were there when the old man died. He said he would leave it to me, and now I'm going to give it to this Ray." Mr. O. Dodd, also in accordance with his last wishes."

After finishing speaking, Jean Valjean reached out and pushed Martin away, walked up to Leo, handed over the box in his hand, and said, "See if it suits your wishes?"

Leo didn't hesitate to accept the gift because of Martin's attitude. On the contrary, he was even more curious about the contents of the box because of this strong opposition.

He took the box unceremoniously, and opened it directly, only to see that there were two exquisite firearms and daggers in the box. At the same time, when Martin saw the two firearms, his breathing became stronger. few.

When he saw the two firearms in the box, Leo was stunned for a moment. The reason why he was a little surprised was not because the two firearms were so weird, but because the appearance of the two firearms was so normal.

Although he has seen a lot of firearms in this world, most of those firearms have strange shapes, either adding some seemingly useless decorations, or complicating the firearms, adding some complicated gear mechanisms, even The breech-loading gun on his back inevitably has these world-style characteristics.

But the two firearms in the box now seem to be very simple and simple at first glance. Apart from a large number of decorative patterns engraved on the surface, there is no other firearm that Leo can understand. Functional gear set up.

The overall shape of the firearm looks a lot like the python revolver of the old earth era, but the barrel is thicker and bigger than the python revolver, and it is almost a circle larger than the rear reloading revolver. It feels a bit top-heavy. Holding a gun requires a lot of strength in the arms and wrists.

Seeing the barrels of these two guns, Leo understood why Jean Valjean had the idea of ​​thickening the barrels.

It's just that what you see on the surface is not necessarily everything. When Leo took out one of the firearms and was about to carefully inspect the parts of each part of the firearm, he found that his previous simple and simple judgment on this firearm was completely wrong. Incorrect.

The cylindrical barrel of this gun is not a solid barrel like the flintlock designed by Jean Valjean, but a rotating shaft device that Leo can't understand. Through the sub-brain system, I roughly analyzed the effect of this rotating shaft device after it is fully running. It is probably that some irregular patterns similar to rifling appear on the inner wall of the gun bore.

Even if Leo is not an expert in antique hot weapons, he can easily see that these patterns will not affect the power of firearms at all, except for adverse side effects such as hindering bullets from advancing, changing bullet flight trajectories, and causing low hit rates. Any helpful help is appreciated.

If it is inferred according to common sense, Leo will definitely think that these two firearms are definitely two failed works, but judging from the conversation between Jean Valjean and Martin just now, it is obvious that these two firearms are not what he saw with his eyes. Simple.

So Leo asked Jean Valjean, "May I have a try?"

Jean Valjean said frankly: "Of course, I said that this set of weapons is given to you as a gift in return. You can try your things as you like."

"What kind of ammunition?" Leo asked again.

"Standard specialty bullets will do."

Leo looked at the revolver magazine, and found that it could not be removed from the gun body. It could only be manually loaded from the fully exposed magazine hole on the side of the gun body like earlier revolvers. Rotate the magazine until five rounds have been loaded.

"Wait." Just as Leo was about to shoot, Jean Valjean called to stop, then found another wooden figure and placed it on the opposite side, and moved, uh, a new steel plate, placed it on the Behind the wooden man.

Seeing what Jean Valjean did, Leo felt a little puzzled, because he was arranging the target area completely according to the power of the flintlock just now.

When Leo was in the Black Forest, he tried to kill several prey with special bullets, and he knew the power of this bullet very well. Perhaps because of the addition of the high-energy substance stabilizer, the bullet can be fired at any time, but the same stabilizer also weakens the power of the bullet after it explodes.

For example, the red-spotted leopard he killed, if it didn't directly attack the weak point of the eyeball, but attacked the red-spotted leopard's skull, the power of the special bullet would definitely not be able to penetrate the red-spotted leopard's skull.

It can be seen that the power of the special bullet is not very great. If it is not guaranteed to activate, the special bullet will not have any value.

However, the pellet gunpowder improved by Jean Valjean has fully demonstrated the power of small artillery, which is more than ten times more powerful than the special bullet. The special bullets can only explain one problem, that is, the revolver with the weird barrel in his hand and the special bullets will produce a power not weaker than that of a flintlock.

With the guess in his heart, Leo walked to the place where the flintlock was tested before. Just like before, he raised the gun and fired five shots quickly to finish the bullets in the gun.

"Hey!" Leo exclaimed in his heart. This exclamation was not because he saw that the special bullet crushed the wooden man and cracked the steel plate just like the steel ball fired by the flintlock just now, nor was it because he He didn't feel any recoil from the pistol, and he was shocked because of the data analysis results revealed in front of his eyes by the sub-brain system.

"Psychic weapon, the structure of the weapon is unknown, the psionic module is unknown, and the psionic effect bursts."

After the emergence of the psykers of the Earth Federation, for a long time, psykers only used weapons that were no different from ordinary people. With their psychic skills, the power they produced with these weapons was far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, as the Earth Federation and the alien races came into contact more and more deeply, they discovered that the alien psykers all had their own exclusive spiritual weapons, so the Earth Federation is also developing in this regard. Specialized research has invested a lot of cost, but the results are still not satisfactory.

The scientists of the Federation couldn't figure out why an ordinary weapon or defensive power armor could become a psychic weapon by adding some patterns that looked like decorations? Why did they use the same method to engrave patterns and seals on other weapons, the accuracy and perfection of the engraving even reached the nanometer level, but it was useless?

The Federation really wants to know the secrets of making spiritual weapons. Unfortunately, the secrets of making such weapons are in the hands of a powerful alien race. Although the Earth Federation has already occupied a place in the Galactic Council, it is still weak compared to this race. Ants.

Therefore, the Federation can only obtain this kind of psychic weapon from other sources, or spend an unusually high price, order it from that alien race, or directly snatch it from other alien races.

Although the exclusive psychic weapons of the psykers of the alien race that were snatched may not be suitable for human psykers, but it is better than nothing.

Leo is no stranger to psychic weapons. As one of the top teams in the federal special operations team, he has been ordered to secretly transport psychic weapons more than once, and more than once he had to use psychic weapons because he was blocked by the enemy. Take it out of the container, change its face, and smuggle it back. Therefore, the psychic weapons that he, a biological weapon without any psychic talent, came into contact with far exceeded those psychics, which also gave his sub-brain the opportunity to record some characteristics and details of psychic weapons.

When the sub-brain system discovered that the gun in his hand was a spiritual weapon, although Leo was surprised, he did not doubt the judgment of the sub-brain at all, because when he shot, the innate instinct derived from the will to fight had already made him Found the difference in the guns in hand.

This is also the reason why he wasted precious special bullets and fired continuously. Only through the fighting will triggered by continuous shooting can the sub-brain system collect enough records for analysis, and then he can discover the secrets in this gun. .

Through these data derived from the perception of fighting will, Leo found that the special bullet did not show any abnormalities after being excited, but when the bullet was ejected from the muzzle of the gun, the bullet showed an unknown secondary acceleration, In other words, the bullet experienced an impact acceleration similar to that caused by the trigger of gunpowder, and then hit the wooden man, producing a burst effect that should not have occurred.

From this, it is not difficult to analyze that the process of changing the special bullet is when the bullet enters the barrel, passes through the barrel, and is ejected from the muzzle, and this process is completely closed, and the talent of fighting will cannot be on it. Have an effect.

However, even without the talent of fighting will to assist the sub-brain system in collecting data, Leo can still deduce what kind of changes the bullet has undergone in the barrel according to normal reasoning, so that it is not difficult to judge the gear in the barrel The special pattern rifling formed after the combination is the main reason for the change of the bullet.

Thinking of this, Leo, with his back to everyone, activated his spiritual vision, and looked at the gun in his hand. Sure enough, the gun was surrounded by a wave of spiritual energy, just like the spiritual energy wrapped around Martin.

However, what surprised him was that according to the strength of the psychic energy wrapped around the gun, his sub-brain system should be able to detect the high-energy substance contained in the special bullet the moment he held it in his hand. Just be different.

But the fact is that after he used the firearm, he analyzed the abnormal performance of the firearm during shooting and compared the data of the spiritual weapon collected in the past to analyze that the firearm was a spiritual weapon.

This kind of situation also happened to Martin. He also couldn't perceive the spiritual energy wrapped around his body directly through shaking hands, and needed to use the spiritual vision skill to see it.

It's just that Martin is a person, a living thing, but this firearm is a dead thing, and the two have nothing in common, or something Leo hasn't discovered yet. And this unknown common point may be the reason why Leo cannot discover the psionic energy of these living or dead objects through contact like other high-energy substances.

After testing the firearm, Leo was speechless for a long time. The people behind him thought he was shocked by the power of the firearm and did not bother him.

It's just that the expressions of the three bystanders are different. Although Jason was also surprised by the power of this gun, he had no other thoughts. He was just happy that Leo had such a weapon.

On the other hand, Martin showed a strong jealousy without any concealment. At the same time, his greedy eyes looked at another firearm in the box on the table, but he recovered quickly and held back the distracting thoughts in his heart. But there was a smile with other intentions that couldn't be concealed on its face, as if it was planning something in its heart at the moment.

On the contrary, Jean Valjean had the weirdest expression. He didn't feel regretful or resentful for the loss of a powerful weapon. On the contrary, he showed a look of relief as if he was sending away some serious trouble.

"Does this gun have a name?" Leo, who had escaped from the sub-brain system data, suddenly turned around and asked Jean Valjean.

"This gun in your hand is called a king," said Jean Valjean.

"King?" Leo was stunned. He lowered his head and scanned the king's crown on the handle of the gun in his hand, then looked at another left pistol in the box that was exactly the same but was loaded on the right side, and said, "This The gun is called the king, but the gun is called the queen?"

"Yes." Jean Valjean nodded.

Leo smiled, walked to the table, replaced the king in his hand with the queen, then inserted a special bullet, went to the place where the gun was tested, and fired at the undamaged steel plate behind the damaged wooden figure. one shot.

The effect of this shot did not attract the attention of the three people behind him. On the contrary, Leo felt abnormal, because the spiritual effect produced by the queen's shot in his hand was completely different from the king's spiritual effect just now.

Just now, the spiritual effect of the bullet given by the king was to burst. After hitting the target, it exploded like a thunderbolt, causing devastating damage to the target. But now the spiritual effect of the bullet bestowed by the queen in his hand is indeed penetrating.

When it hits the target, the Queen's bullet has a strong penetrating power. Even the steel plate behind the wooden man and the thicker steel plate wall behind it can't stop the bullet from penetrating, and this bullet penetrates the steel plate like a fire. The red iron rod penetrated the frozen butter as effortlessly, leaving only a bullet hole on the two steel plates that was only one circle larger than the circumference of the bullet. This was only the part he could see with his eyes. According to the final castration of the bullet, he suspected that after the bullet penetrated two steel plates, it still had the power to penetrate other steel plates.
