Chapter 928.
In the room, under the moon glow lamp, Wang Dust sat in front of the table concentrating on assembling the accessories in his hand.
Metal casing, card spring, handle, flint ……
A flint cannon that did not belong to this world and era was being assembled and molded little by little by Wang Chen!
In the past three months, while he was practicing hard in the guardhouse, he was also thinking about the future.
For Wang Chen, his current self was merely a passer-by in this world, the Cangqing Realm.
Sooner or later, he would have to leave.
But conquering and owning this world was Wang Chen’s ultimate goal!
With a small world as his backing, then not to mention YuanYing and Transformation God, even Harmonization and Mahayana were not impossible to expect, and the path of the Dao could be described as spacious.
But how easy was it to obtain the origin of a world!
Wang Chen was certain that the owner of that cave at the bottom of the pool, the great cultivator who had built the transmission array to the Cangqing Realm, had failed to achieve his goal and had given up for some unknown reason.
And the strength of this great cultivator was definitely far above him!
Then what the other party couldn’t do, could Wang Dust do it?
Wang Dust certainly didn’t have any certainty!
But he was willing to work hard, willing to start from the bottom in this world with extremely low aura content and impassable rules, and climb up step by step, right up to the apex of this realm.
But would one be able to obtain the World Origin once they reached the apex?
The answer is obviously no!
The World Origin was something that could make a YuanYing go crazy and a Transformation God must fight for it, and its value exceeded any heavenly material or treasure.
If such a supreme thing could be easily obtained, then great powers would no longer be rare!
The problem was that Wang Chen had no experience in this area.
He had read countless Taoist books, but none of these books dealt with the relevant knowledge.
It clearly belonged to the untold secrets!
So Wang Chen could only fumble around on his own.
Fortunately, he had such a large “testing ground” in the Cangqing Realm.
This is the chance belonging to Wang dust!
The creation of this flint cannon in his hand was the first step in Wang Chen’s attempt to conquer the Cangqing Realm.
He was going to take a different path, and was not going to follow the usual path!
What Wang Dust did was the most mature design of the impact flint cannon, the principle of which was to pull the trigger and use the flint on the hammer to create sparks, ignite the gunpowder in the pool, and then push the projectile stuffed into the cannon to fire out.
The principle is not complicated, but it is not simple to do.
First of all, there was the issue of gunpowder.
The Cangqing Realm did not have gunpowder, or someone had invented something similar, but sulfur and saltpeter, the two materials used to make gunpowder, were available.
In fact the Haotian Realm also had sulfur and saltpeter, only that it was pointless to make thermal weapons in the Immortal Realm.
Cangqing realm is different, this small world belongs to the world of weak law and strong martial arts, just from the level of power, there is no doubt that it is different from Haotian realm, and it is not comparable to Shanhai realm.
Moreover, the Cangqing realm is full of countries, such as Da Liang, Da Wu, Northern Qi, Southern Barbarians, Western Qiang and so on, and there has never been a great unification of the dynasty.
This gives meaning to thermal weapons.
Wang Dust was a polytechnic man in his previous life, and also did handmade self-media, not only is his hands strong, but also played a lot of things.
This included flint cannons!
His grandfather had been a hunter in the mountains and owned two flint cannons, only to surrender them all later.
Wang Duan had touched these two hunting cannons when he was a child and remembered them exceptionally well, so much so that when he grew up, he secretly made his own flint hand cannon, which he dismantled after playing with it a few times in the field.
Therefore, he understood both the principle and the technology, and there was no manufacturing obstacle.
Wang Duan first made gunpowder, and it was also granulated gunpowder.
As for the production method, he followed the ancient method, the precise proportion plus repeated experiments, the final product is of excellent quality.
The next step was naturally the various accessories of the cannon.
The most difficult of them was undoubtedly the seamless cannon tube.
Although the seamless cannon tube could be obtained by casting and the manufacturing cost was very low, the cast cannon tube could not avoid the presence of trachoma and dark wounds, and it was easy to blow up the chamber.
The best thing to do was to drill it out with a drill.
Fortunately, the forging technology in this world wasn’t weak, and although Wang Dust’s requirements were very high, there were still smiths of notable strength who took up his business under heavy payment.
In the end, they came up with a finished product that satisfied him.
As for the other accessories, it is going to be a lot easier, Wang Chuan divided into different workshops to customize.
In the end, he assembled and adjusted them himself.
In total, he customized five long and five short ten seamless cannon tubes, which were used to make five flint long cannons and five hand cannons.
Since all the parts were hand processed, it was normal to have errors, so Wang Chuan made his own adjustments until they met the requirements.
That night, he finished assembling one long cannon and one hand cannon!
The next morning, when the gates of Linjiang City had just opened, Wang Chuan quietly left the city.
He traveled west along the official road and came to an empty and uninhabited wilderness.
When no one was around, Wang Chen took out a flint cannon from his storage space.
He first poured gunpowder into the chamber of the cannon, then inserted a Minnie bullet wrapped in silk and soaked in grease, and pounded the strips and stuffed them tightly, then poured a little gunpowder into the medicine pool.
The amount of gunpowder was added by Wang Chuan based on experience, and it would definitely be made into a fixed load later on.
After completing all the preparations before launching, Wang Dust steadily raised the homemade flint long cannon and aimed at a big tree a hundred paces away.
He suddenly pulled the trigger.
Snap!
A ball of fire accompanied by green smoke rose up, the long cannon shook abruptly, and a cast Minnie bullet suddenly discharged.
It hit the target it was aiming at!
Wang Chen put down the long cannon and walked over to check the result.
Only to see an extra hole thicker than his thumb in the trunk of the large tree, the projectile had embedded itself deeply.
But it did not penetrate the tree trunk.
Nonetheless, the power of this flint long cannon had exceeded Wang Chen’s expectations!
Wang Chen’s mind instantly flashed through words such as “three-stage shooting” and “lining up to be shot”.
If such a weapon was held in the hands of an ordinary person, not to mention ordinary martial artists, even warriors and masters could not withstand it, and if a large number of people gathered fire, it was possible to take out a general!
As for a Martial Zong, that was certainly no threat.
But what if the long cannons were replaced with cannons?
Wang Chen didn’t think any further.
He was only making these long and short cannons to validate his idea, whether or not they would be used in the future, or how they would be used was not in the scope of consideration.
Next, Wang Chen tested the hand cannons.
The range and power of the hand cannons were quite a bit weaker than the long cannons, but with all five hand cannons loaded and placed in the storage space as a weapon backup, it was actually quite good.
Additionally Wang Dust tested different loads to determine the best ratio.
For the next few days, he ran off to the field to play with the cannon.
And on the fifth day of Wang Chen’s promotion to Martial Zong, he received a mission from the guardhouse.
