Chapter 39 Discussion about weapons

Seeing the damage caused by this shot, Foster was naturally able to estimate the damage this shot would cause if it hit a person.

"This power and range is close to that of a four-pound infantry cannon." Foster estimated that although he was holding a gun, the destructive power caused was actually equivalent to the small-caliber artillery used by the army.

This made him couldn't help but hold this powerful musket in his hand again, wanting to study it more carefully.

However, Purficott on the side asked him to continue shooting to further test the gun.

When Foster saw this, he naturally did not disobey her. He held the gun and shot again, and experienced the power of continuous fire from an automatic weapon.

Seeing the three bullets fired at once splashing a lot of soil at the location he was aiming at, even though Foster had followed the old Baron Brandless on the battlefield and witnessed the power of the artillery salvo, he couldn't help but feel Eyes widened.

"Miss, if such a sharp weapon is equipped with the army, it will be invincible!" Although Old Foster is not a soldier, his military quality is not low at all.

And as the steward of the Brandless family, he clearly remembers what the old Baron Brandless was obsessed with during his lifetime.

If this weapon can be equipped with the army, the Brandless family can regain its influence in the army.

However, in the face of Foster's excitement, Purficott just shook his head and said to him: "Every part of this gun is handmade by me, even the bullets. The empire cannot afford to popularize it." Live this expense.

Each of its bullets is worth one gold pound, which is still the cost price. Grandpa Afu, the bullets you just polished off are worth twenty gold pounds together with the magazine. "

The high price quoted by Purficott shocked the elder Foster, but he was not puzzled by it.

Having used this gun personally, he knew that this powerful weapon was worth the price, and even the price quoted by Perfectcott was only the cost price.

But even so, Foster still persuaded Purficott: "Miss, I think you can sell this weapon to the military. They will definitely be interested in this weapon!"

"Of course they will be interested, but they can't afford it." Of course Purficott knew how powerful the thing she made was, but she had no intention of handing it over to the military: "The manufacturing of such a gun It takes a charter-level alchemist three months to create, and its manufacturing cost is as high as twelve hundred gold pounds.

Making it involves seventy-four my unique inventions and technologies. Whether the military pays royalties or buys out my patents, they need to pay me a large sum of money.

In addition, there is a more important point. The recoil of this gun is extremely strong. If ordinary people do not pay attention when shooting, their entire shoulders will be shattered.

That's why I designed the steam armor to control it with stronger power and stronger defense.

However, the cost of making steam armor is also very high, and it must reach the strength of a knight or above to allow this armor to exert its full performance, so it has no possibility of being popularized.

And more importantly, the current situation is not suitable for large-scale manufacturing of this equipment, and the empire's resources should be used in more important places. "

When Perfectcott designed and built this equipment, she did not consider the possibility of mass production, so although she understood what Foster meant, she remained unmoved.

What's more, the end of the world is coming soon. Although it makes sense to strengthen armaments at this time, it doesn't mean much. If you have the money to build steam armor, why not build her two more airships?

Foster understood what Purficott meant, but he still persuaded Purficott: "Miss, I think you should give the drawings of this set of armor and weapons to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Then, through Her Royal Highness the Princess, ask the military to manufacture a batch of such equipment, which can gain more benefits for you.

And according to your request, the most suitable person to equip this kind of equipment is the Knights of the Guard.

You can completely equip your guard knights with this set of equipment and let them protect you, thus improving your safety. "

In Foster's view, although he has been promoted to a Knight of the Order and has such a powerful set of equipment, he does not have the confidence to protect Perfectcott if he is alone.

Because he clearly knows what kind of chaos the entire country will fall into when disaster strikes.

It would be difficult for him to protect Purficott on his own, so he had to plan a safer protection for his young lady.

Foster's words seemed to move Purficott. After thinking about it, she said to Foster: "In that case, Grandpa Afu will go for me tomorrow! The simplified drawings of armor and weapons are in my experiment." On the bookshelf in my room, it’s labeled ‘Steam Rider’.”

Hearing what Purficott said, Foster hurriedly saluted her, but due to the steam armor on his body, he couldn't bend down at all.

This made Purficott couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "It seems that it still needs improvement. There is not enough room for movement in the waist and abdomen."

"This is actually enough. A knight rarely bends down when wearing armor." Foster seemed very indifferent to this, and even jokingly said: "Back then, your grandfather was on the battlefield. When he was wearing armor and had an itch on his back, I would always reach out and scratch it for him. Not to mention bending down, sometimes he would need help from others to pick up things if they fell on the ground.

Armor is such an inconvenient thing, Miss, you don't have to worry about it. "

"I will not allow flaws in my works." Purficott said, while using his omniscient eye to re-examine the steam armor on Foster.

But after looking around, she still said: "But what you said, Grandpa Afu, makes sense. I should really focus on more important things. This thing is not worth my time."

After saying that, Purficott stopped talking about related topics, and just conducted more tests on the steam armor with Foster.

As a newly promoted knight, Foster actually has a lot of battlefield experience. When he was young, he also fought in knight's armor, so he has a lot to say in this regard.

Therefore, Foster provided Purfict with a lot of inspiration, giving her a sense of enlightenment.

Although she is a time traveler and has plug-ins such as the omniscient eye, there is still a fundamental difference between working behind closed doors and listening to the personal experience of professionals.

Therefore, Foster's suggestion was of great reference value to her, which also allowed Purficott to quickly conceive the design of Steam Armor 2.0 in his mind.
