Chapter 96: The incense burner who is tired of dying
"However, Brother Zhongli, you may have forgotten one thing."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"If you need bullets, can't you just remove the magazine and eject the bullets like I did?"
…
Silence, long silence.
“Ahem.”
Zhongli said: "That is naturally to accurately understand the firing method of this thing, so that it can be better imitated. This is the effect I want to achieve."
"Brother Zhongli, that's a good idea."
Gu Sanqiu cupped his hands. The big boss had already found an excuse for him, so what else could he say? Being a nitpicker was a dead end and extremely dangerous thing to do.
boom.
Gu Sanqiu raised his gun and fired at the sky . He listened attentively, watched the trajectory carefully, and then touched the gun barrel.
"Well, normally speaking, this is already a sniper rifle that can be used normally, but it seems that Brother Zhongli is still dissatisfied with it?"
"That's right. I don't see any obvious traces of elemental force in this sniper rifle, but it can produce quite a violent explosion. It's more advanced than the Fatui vanguard's weapons. This is the problem I want to solve at the moment."
“This one.”
Gu Sanqiu thought for a moment and said, "Then, Brother Zhongli, have you ever considered starting with ammunition?"
Gu Sanqiu gestured at the bullet in his hand: "It's roughly similar to the monsters' explosive barrels. We can change the formula and put it into the bullet."
"Use the powder of electric crystal and the petals of flaming flower, and mix them with slime gel as a barrier to form the core of the bullet."
"In this case, once the balance point is found and the safety performance is determined, this type of ammunition that can create micro-explosions can play a better role."
Gu Sanqiu pointed at Broken One and said, "Brother Zhongli also knows the power of this gun. Do you think it can be widely used?"
"Moreover, as far as normal equipment is concerned, this type of sniper rifle is sufficient and does not require any further improvements in terms of power."
The seven countries of Teyvat have a normal legal system and a relatively stable social environment. If they are really equipped with sniper rifles, it means they don't intend to leave any mortals alive. It would be even worse if they continue to work hard on ammunition.
"Well, that makes sense. Giving up some of the lethality to increase the possibility of popularization is indeed a very reasonable approach."
Zhongli nodded: "That's an idea, but I still have something I want to ask Brother Gu for help with."
"what?"
He now understood that there was only one reason why Zhongli had come up with these things, and that was because he was attracted by their portability and lethality, and planned to equip his people in Liyue with something new.
Gu Sanqiu looked up, and when he saw Zhongli take out a small black gun, he could not help but remain silent.
You are the Rock King, Morax, who made bullets with his bare hands and made a replica of a sniper rifle in a short period of time, so I won’t say anything.
But isn’t your ability to draw inferences from one instance a little too strong?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
That thing is a pistol, it is definitely a pistol!
Gu Sanqiu took the pistol from Zhongli without saying a word, squeezed it lightly with his other hand, erected a target not far away using the element of rock, and then began to pull the trigger frantically.
Every shot hits the bull's eye, very accurate.
The recoil was completely negligible to him, and there was a magazine capacity of about nine rounds, as well as this familiar feel...
The power of a nation or a race cannot be underestimated, and it can even overthrow many seemingly indestructible things.
And the knowledge reserve, practical ability, thinking, etc. of a thousand-year-old monster...
I kneel down.
orz
"This thing is named a pistol. Some adjustments have been made to its lethality and ammunition capacity, but it is more convenient to carry and can even be used for daily use."
Zhongli continued, "In addition, through making this pistol, I have other inspirations, such as a short and convenient firearm that can fire a large number of bullets in a short period of time, and a heavy firearm that can be placed on the ground and use a bracket and shock absorber to reduce the impact of recoil, etc."
…
The ideas of submachine guns and heavy machine guns have come up, so what else can he do except be in a mess in the wind.
Gu Sanqiu was speechless. He could already imagine that when outsiders entered Liyue Harbor in the future, whether by land or sea, the first thing that would catch their eyes would definitely be the heavy machine guns placed in front of them.
No, considering Grandpa Zhongli's vague idea of piling up firepower to the extreme, he even felt that the final product would not only be a heavy machine gun, but its power might even develop in the direction of the large-caliber machine gun carried by armed helicopters.
The former can hit people and destroy vehicles.
But the latter... is probably the same as using anti-material to hit people, either way the word "massacre" is clearly written out.
"Well, Brother Zhongli is indeed a knowledgeable person. He was able to come up with these things so quickly. I really admire him."
Gu Sanqiu clapped his hands expressionlessly. "However, Brother Zhongli, have you ever thought about one issue, which is the cost of your research?"
"spend?"
Zhongli was obviously stunned, then lowered his head and thought carefully.
"Well, I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I actually forgot about such a simple thing. This time the cost is really not small."
"However, from the perspective of protecting the people of Liyue, these expenses are worth it and are of great value."
"If you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean the world?"
Gu Sanqiu said calmly: "If you can't even take care of your own life because of an extra thing, then how can you say you are doing it for the benefit of the people?"
"Brother Zhongli is first and foremost a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall. Considering the Wangsheng Hall is your top priority, and the common people should come second."
"As the saying goes, if you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean up the world?"
Gu Sanqiu took a deep look at Zhongli. You want to hide your identity, right? Then don’t blame him for trying to intimidate you with moral principles. You, Morax, will definitely suffer the consequences for this mute!
"Well, Brother Gu seems a little angry?"
Zhongli asked, "Is it because of Hall Master Hu?"
"That's right."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "I have seen how much effort that girl has put in to keep Wangsheng Hall going, but I will not give her a large sum of money all of a sudden."
"Because, the process of that girl's hard work is the most important."
"I haven't heard Walnut mention you before, and I don't know much about how you get along with each other. I am looking at this matter purely from the perspective of 'Walnut's friend', so some of my words may be a little biased to you."
"but."
Gu Sanqiu's tone was particularly serious: "Brother Zhongli, your current behavior seems to be somewhat different from the reputation I have heard in the past."
"Gentle, polite, knowledgeable, calm and smart, etc., I don't see any of that in this matter."
Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes: "Why are you a little impatient about this matter? What are you worried about?"
"Or, what are you in a hurry for?"
