Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 "A rifle capable of long-range shooting? Let me think about—" The dwarf uncle took off the magnifying glass tied to his eyes and gently touched his beard. "By the way, did you buy this gun for accurate shooting of small and medium-sized targets in urban areas or shooting ranges or for long-range shooting in the field."

　　 "Is there a difference between these?" Lawrence asked a little puzzled. "I just want a powerful rifle that can be used for medium and long-range shooting. Isn't it different to use this gun in different places?"

"Of course it's different. There is a deep knowledge in it." After talking about his professional content, the dumb dwarf uncle started talking like he had opened a chatterbox. At the same time, he was still from the cabinet. Two rifles with apparently different styles were taken out as examples.

　　 One of the two guns is a traditional rifle, but with some magic runes on it. The other is a steam rifle unique to this world. Lawrence has only heard of it before but has never seen the actual one. So after the gun was taken out, he focused his attention on it.

A large number of parts of this gun are made of brass, but the barrel and the part of the bolt are made of some kind of magical steel that emits shimmer. There are several gears and connecting rods that Lawrence can not figure out on the surface of the gun body. . If you look at the rear of the gun along these structures, you will find a delicate dial on the rear of the gun, which should be used to display the pressure in the barrel.

　　 Besides, the whole gun is specially designed to look like a giant beast. The behemoth’s horns protruded from both sides of the dial. After careful observation, Lawrence discovered that they were actually well-disguised exhaust pipes. In short, this gun is a bit larger than the ordinary shape of the gun, but those parts and decorations show a unique mechanical beauty of the steam age.

"Do you like this?" Seeing Lawrence staring at the gun, the dwarf uncle in front of him explained, "This is the most proud work of a friend of mine last year. He is the priest of the God of Forge and Flame. "

"Don't look at the size of this gun, but the movement and recoil of the shot are very small. At the same time, the ammunition fired by high-pressure steam prepared by the pocket magic boiler hidden in the **** is a slender needle with a diameter of two millimeters. Therefore, it has a large ammunition capacity and a high armor-piercing ability. The most important thing is that this gun has two firing capabilities. As long as the air valve is adjusted, it can fire continuously while reducing the speed of the bullet, allowing the user to Gain an advantage in close combat."

"However, if you are going to the wild, I don't recommend you to use this gun. If I recommend it to you, it will hurt you." Seeing Lawrence staring at the steam rifle with an enviable look, The dwarf poured cold water on him.

　　 Lawrence was also awake when said by Uncle Dwarf. He was just a little too excited after seeing this handsome weapon for the first time. Now that he calmed down, he found that Uncle Dwarf was right.

　　 As we all know, the biggest problem with this type of precision weapons is that they are prone to failure. Looking at the complicated gear connecting rod on the gun, you can probably guess how easy it is to break and how troublesome it is to repair. Lawrence doesn't think he can fix this kind of thing in the field anyway.

　　 If he remembers correctly, the epoch-making G11 caseless assault rifle on the earth died on the exquisite mechanical structure like a watch. And now the structure of this steam rifle is more precise than it is. Lawrence can probably guess what the situation will be when the gun is used in the field.

　　 "It seems that you also found the problem, right?" The dwarf looked at Lawrence's thoughtful expression and nodded. "This thing is really easy to use when in the city, but it will be very troublesome to get it in the wild."

"But this gun is different." Said the dwarf picked up another rifle next to it. The overall look of this gun is no different from the current single-shot rear-mounted rifle equipped by the Federal Army. It's just a bit shorter, plus a set of mechanical sights that look very precise on the gun.

　　 "Don't look at it a bit smaller, but it is simple in structure and easy to maintain." The dwarf raised the gun and pointed out the difference between it and the ordinary gun with his short fingers.

"Look, the barrel is inscribed with acceleration inscriptions and strengthening inscriptions. At the same time, its barrel is mixed with a little fine gold during forging to greatly reduce the rate of wear. In addition, this gun is the most special and the most The good thing is that there is a wind element enhanced magic circle in its bolt machine, which can make five bullets with wind element magic every day when the input of magic power is activated, giving them an additional layer of penetration equivalent to the first level of magic force……"

　　 Just like the parents who sang babies on the earth, the dwarf uncle introduced this standard 10mm caliber military rifle endlessly.

　　 "Sounds really good." After looking at the other guns, Lawrence finally chose this rifle. "But the price of 1,200 yuan is really—"

　　 "I made this gun by myself, so she is worth the price." The dwarf realized that Lawrence was indeed the kind of person who really wanted to buy it, so he seriously bargained with him. "But I can give you some discounts elsewhere."

　　 After 20 minutes of bargaining, Lawrence finally knows why everyone says that dwarves are stone heads. Because they are so confessional, as long as the decision is made, they will not change.

　　 But as a businessman, this dwarf uncle is not the kind of person whose mind is completely dead. He said that besides the price cannot be negotiated, Lawrence can be provided with certain discounts in other places, such as more gifts.

　　 In the end, Lawrence agreed to the dwarf’s suggestion, because he knew that such magic weapons were not cheap. Not to mention that in addition to the normal 60 rounds of ammunition and the matching bayonet, this dwarf also comes with two additional bases of ordinary ammunition, half the base of deer ammunition, ten rounds of exorcism ammunition, and five rounds of strong acid ammunition. With a set of cowhide outfits.

　　 In addition to these gifts, the dwarf uncle also allowed Lawrence to select three weapon parts he collected from various places on the black shelf next to him.

"Don't worry, I haven't chosen any of these things." Seeing Lawrence finished paying, the dwarf uncle graciously put all the things he bought in a long leather handbag, UU reading www.uukanshu.com continued. Take him to the black iron shelf. "But you can only judge with your eyes or release magic. Anything you touch with your hand will even be selected."

Lawrence walked to the shelf and found that four dwarven-specific runestones were hung on the four corners of the shelf. The magic aura in front of him was not the same as the previous magical aura that emits different colors according to the magic power, but only The difference between being and nothing.

　　 "Detection magic or identification?" The dwarf looked at Lawrence and raised an eyebrow, but he didn't feel anything wrong. There are so many people coming to this street every day, naturally including relatively rare spellcasters. "The rune stone I hung on it has a disturbing effect, otherwise there will be no excitement of the selection."

　　 "Okay." Lawrence nodded, and then released [Appraisal Technique] on several parts that he was interested in before. Sure enough, this mutated magic was not disturbed by rune stones.

　　 The dwarf uncle watched Lawrence's behavior and did not stop him, he was confident in the runestone he hung up. Otherwise he would not allow everyone to use magic detection.

"By the way, I think the overall style of this store is very similar to the store of the same name on Gunpowder Street! Do you know Uncle Rick?" Just when Lawrence used [Identification Technique] to check a rusted pistol He opened his eyes wide, and in order to avoid letting the dwarf uncle next to him find that something was wrong, he quickly turned off the topic and tried to distract the uncle.

"Rick? That's my cousin." There was a smile on the face of the dwarf uncle, but soon the smile turned into a slightly impetuous expression, "Even if you know him, I can't give you a discount. Yes, but you can choose one more from the pile."
