Su Wen has always had a question. Since the goblins invented muskets two or three hundred years ago, and the dwarves have carried forward the musket technology, but in the same two or three hundred years, why has this technology tree been lit out of flowers in his own world, but it is still at the stage of tunneling guns?

The only answer is that it is not valued. After all, material craftsmanship and design craftsmanship will not be affected by this magical world. Goblins can even make high-strength materials that support Ferris wheels. It is logical that it is impossible to produce powerful modern kinetic guns.

But why not pay attention?

After all, even a tunnel fire gun has an astonishing kinetic energy. Its kinetic energy is no less than most modern kinetic energy rifles, and it is far higher than a short-bore submachine gun and pistol. Just like the scene I just saw, the four-ring magic shield that can withstand several ice arrows is actually not much different from a piece of paper in front of a high-speed bullet. It is not only penetrated instantly, but also does not provide any protection for the people inside.

This is exactly what Su Wen couldn't figure out. Since the power of guns in this world has not been reduced, it would not have been ignored if it were not for more serious side effects. Then the world today should not be a world where swords and magic are the only ones. At least those magicians and fighting athletes cannot act as a blessing, because before reaching a certain level, anyone has the ability to easily kill them.

So what is the crux of the matter?

At first, Su Wen believed that the difference in the composition and performance of gunpowder was limited, thus limiting the development of guns in this world. After all, even in his own world, the period of real rapid development of kinetic energy guns in modern times was also after the concept of guns appeared more than a hundred years after the emergence of the concept of guns. Su Wen had previously studied that the mainstream gunpowder in the glorious continent was obviously still in the era of black gunpowder.

However, after a series of tests, although the ingredients were not analyzed, the results obtained showed that there was no obvious difference between the two. The same violent burning, the same thick smoke rolled, and the same large amount of residue left behind were the most primitive and uncommonly used basic gunpowder. So Su Wen came to a helpless conclusion at that time: probably because the world lacked a guy who had lost his luck and had just wiped nitric acid and sulfuric acid with his clothes and accidentally threw it into the fire to find nitrocellulose fibers. Therefore, the modernization process of guns was infinitely delayed due to the performance limitations of black gunpowder.

This is good news, because Su Wen knew the basic formula of smokeless gunpowder, and he could even use it to create a precedent for an era. From then on, like the protagonist of a common novel traveling through the world, he conquered the goblin dwarfs, founded his own armed maid army, occupied the land and conquered the world to the peak of his life. But just when he was eager to try, he accidentally read in the St. Peter's Library, poured cold water on him.

As expected, the reason why guns on the Glorious Continent have never been developed is not just because smokeless gunpowder has not been manufactured.

Of course, it is not a suppression by the Magicians Association or the Church of Light. Not to mention that as long as this thing is really useful, it will not work at all and will only backfire. In fact, in the eyes of the Magicians Association and the Church, although the invention of Goblins is quite powerful, it is just a gadget that cannot be used on the table.

Why?

In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, the world is composed of elements, and black gunpowder is actually an unstable mixture with solidified fire elements as the main component.

In fact, only a small part of the black gunpowder is used by goblins as igniting materials for firearms. Most of its main uses are supplied to major alchemy workshops as a booster for fire elements. It is a low-level material for ordinary whiteboards. The main significance is that when alchemists need to use fire elements, they only need a single click to ignite gunpowder to easily create a large amount of free fire elements in an instant without consuming a lot of magic power. When thinking about doing this, as long as you study hard, even if you are a magician apprentice, it will be fine.

That's what you should realize.

Unstable...

A single snap of your finger can ignite...

Create a large number of free fire elements in an instant...

Even a magician apprentice can easily do it...

OK, gunpowder kinetic guns are basically cold.

This is a typical natural suppression of the magic side on the scientific side. Just imagine a large number of dog-headed men with full arms holding guns rushed into the city, trying to create a vigorous terrorist attack. Then an unknown magician who passed by snapped his fingers and released an elemental jump. The powder barrels hanging on these dog-headed men exploded and turned into fireworks and fireballs. The scene was particularly distressing. In this miserable situation, except for a few unlucky men who were stubborn, unable to practice magic and wanted to have hypocritical powerful power, who has the heart to study what kind of gunpowder gun!

However, there is still a profession in this world called the Magic Gunman, which belongs to a branch of the magical instrument system. Although the goblin's gunpowder gun is very unreliable, its idea of ​​transferring energy to the projectile and then killing through the projectile was absorbed by some magicians. These magicians use gunpowder guns as the basis to create guns that use elemental power as the source of kinetic energy, but to put it bluntly - their power is usually far less than gunpowder guns, which is much worse than Glocks in Suwen's hand, and it is a little better than bows and arrows.

Although black gunpowder is not valuable, its fire element explodes extremely fast after being ignited. If a magician wants to achieve the same effect through his own abilities, he must at least have the ability of a high-level magician to do it. Therefore, the magic gunman seems to be powerful, but not much. He often can only make a fuss about the bullet itself, such as rune bullets, elemental bullets, and even high-priced magic bullets. However, due to insufficient kinetic energy, no matter how different the tricks are played, it cannot change the fact that the foundation is weak. If the magic gunman wants to truly exert his power, at least the level of a high-level magician, but other professions of high-level magicians have their own advantages, so it can't help but become overshadowed.

Back to the present, Su Wen couldn't figure out whether the long-barrel hunting rifle on this man's back was an ordinary gunpowder gun or a magic gun dedicated to the magic gunman. However, there was not much time at this time, and the giant screen in the safety zone behind him would be reduced to him in ten seconds. Although looking at the person downstairs walking around in the garden, you can know that even if he was excluded from the giant screen, he might not be eliminated for a while. He might just obtain a debuff that continuously lost blood, but his bottom-up blood volume and lack of any recovery ability, he would probably not be able to hold on for half a minute...

It would be too unprofitable to be eliminated like that, and it would be impossible to bypass several streets and enter the safe zone in a short time. The only way at the moment is to take advantage of the fact that this person has not discovered him, and then rush straight into the circle in the west.

There was no time, Su Wen continued to inject energy into the scroll, and the violent water element was about to condense into a sharp ice cone within 0.5 seconds...

But at this moment, the man who was picking up the relics on the ground suddenly looked up and smiled at Su Wen.

"Ice Arrow? If you take out the four-ring magic, I might still dodge, but if you use this to deal with me, aren't you a little too underestimated by me?"

“…”

The atmosphere seemed to solidify for a second.

Then, Su Wen retracted his head without saying a word, put away the scroll, turned around and rushed towards the roof of the west. With his strong physique, he pulled a long distance from the street under his feet in just a few steps.

It turned out to have been discovered long ago.
