Age of Empires From Scratch

The vigorous wave of construction and learning lasted throughout the winter.

When the new year comes, although the winter village is still in a world of ice and snow, the temperature has begun to rise significantly, and correspondingly, the enthusiasm for learning has gradually subsided.

In a few months, everyone has read all the knowledge that they are interested in or even not interested in, and then they will choose a certain knowledge for formal practice according to their own preferences and the depth of understanding of these knowledge.

David estimated that no one would be able to master some kind of mysterious power for a while. Without the guidance of a mentor, mastering mysterious power by self-study is not an easy task.

The fundamental reason why Laura was able to quickly learn many hunter skills was that she had already mastered the magical power of the Holy Light, and she could understand many power applications in the notes more intuitively.

Others don't have this advantage, they can only slowly explore from scratch.

In comparison, Will Turner's blacksmith shop has made a lot of contributions this winter: making various crystal ore weapons, making various parts needed by several scientists, and making the pistol that David wanted.

Even, on the basis of the original design, Will Turner also played some creativity.

"The warhead of this bullet also has crystal powder added, and crystal powder is also added to the charge." Will held a bullet in his hand that looked no different from a .45 ACP pistol bullet, except that the bullet The color is a bit special, with a purple halo under the sunlight.

"How about the power?"

David was still looking at the revolver Will had just made for him. The appearance of this gun still chose the appearance of his favorite violent hunter revolver before, but because the main material is light cast iron, the whole gun has a faint golden color.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the supply of ammunition in the village, the specifications of the bullets were not the original .44 Magnum, but a .45 caliber.

In this way, all the pistols in the village use bullets of the same caliber, and Will only needs to make a mold of one specification, which saves a lot of trouble.

"You can try it yourself." Will pointed to the target not far away, which was set up in advance.

Today is the day to test the gun, and it is also the day to show the power of the new bullet. Will's target is a huge stone with thick metal plates hanging from the front and back.

David put a few bullets glowing purple into the gun, and the specially-made revolver can pop out from the left and right sides of the gun body, that is to say, there is a button on both sides of the pistol, press and hold the button on the left, You can make the revolver eject from the left side of the gun body; press and hold the right side to eject from the right side.

This design is convenient for David to use with both left and right hands. When reloading, he only needs to hold down the corresponding button with his thumb and flick the gun body lightly.

At this time, David held the gun in his right hand. After loading six bullets, he flicked the pistol, and the revolver returned to the gun body, and then raised the gun to aim at the target.

boom!

Without brewing or reminding, David pulled the trigger directly after aiming. The sound of the pistol firing was slightly different from the previous Rage Hunter, and the sound was more dull.

This is not the point. The point is that after David shot, the stone that was the target was directly blown into dust. With his strong vision, David clearly saw that the metal plate hanging in front of the stone was also shot into pieces. debris.

"..."

A group of people, including Steve, Mark, Eva, etc., watched the test firing behind David. No one expected the power of this shot to be so exaggerated.

David looked in the direction of the target, and he saw a lot of metal fragments—that was the metal plate that was previously tied in front of the stone; besides a few broken stones, there was more flying dust—that was directly blasted into the ground. There was also a piece of broken metal plate, which was inserted here and there in the ground farther away—the metal plate tied to the other side of the stone.

Looking down at the pistol, David looked at Will again. He really didn't expect it to be so powerful.

At the moment of shooting, David could clearly feel the waves of holy light released from the pistol when shooting, and the energy of holy light was attached to the bullet.

But what caused this destructive power should be the purple energy that burst out when hitting the target, that is to say, this powerful power mainly came from the crystal ore powder. Of course, David does not rule out that it is the interaction of two energies that has such amazing power. As for the magic-breaking effect added by the holy light, it is not yet clear.

He looked at the Furious Hunter in his hand again, and it would be more appropriate to change its name to the Holy Light Hunter. David was very satisfied with this new gun, and after playing with it happily for a while, he inserted it into the holster around his waist.

"You made the rifle bullets too!"

"Of course." Will pointed to another box next to it, which contained rifle bullets.

There was no need for anyone to remind her. Sharon had already carried a huge thick metal plate to the shooting range, supported it with two stones, and stood the metal plate horizontally against the two stones.

When Sharon ran back behind David, David had already raised the ordinary HK416 rifle without any modifications, only the bullets that were just stuffed into the magazine were specially made by Will.

boom! boom! boom!

Let's shoot a few bursts first, and David can clearly see that each bullet can leave a big hole in the metal plate that is at least five centimeters thick.

Then he pulled the trigger and fired continuously, and the metal plate was useless until one magazine was finished.

"Is there no flaw in this thing?" David was surprised. He didn't expect Will to come up with such a big killer: "Is it troublesome to make? Is it dangerous?"

"It's not troublesome or dangerous." Will shook his head. He has been tinkering with it for several months. He can be sure that the production of this kind of bullet is not much different from that of ordinary bullets, except that one more material is added: "Crystal Ore is a very stable material."

There is only one shortcoming: the number of crystal ores is too small.

As Leonard and Mark gradually designed and manufactured various equipment that can use crystal ore, large crystal ore should be used as energy, leaving Will to make bullets with scraps, after making some 20mm machine guns After the cannonball, the crystal ore powder in his hand has been used up.

"That's it..."

David has no way to solve this problem. The growth rate of the crystal ore is not under his control. After a few months of holding back, there is not much growth. Two of them are made into weapons. At present, the crystal ore stock in Winter Village is also low. It's only three yuan, and it may be moved by Sheldon and the others to test new equipment at any time.

"Make as many as you can!" David thought for a while, and added: "The village keeps some emergency ones, and Tirion will take the remaining bullets!"

Some time ago, Tirion Fording asked Laura for drawings of Krupp 105mm howitzers and shells used in World War II, drawings of Garand rifles and corresponding bullets, and Browning 12.7mm Drawing of a heavy machine gun and bullets.

If there is no accident, Ironforge should be producing these types of weapons, and Fording has returned to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, ready to go to Hearthglen to face the Scourge.

According to the plan that Fording disclosed to David before, once the Scourge begins to attack, Ironforge will use the 'air force' to send the weapons ordered by Fording to Hearthglen. If the crisis is really as Fording said, In severe cases, Ironforge will also send dwarf troops to join the battle.

It seems that Fording doesn't need to worry about the issue of weapons, but David thinks that there are powerful equipment here, and supporting Fording is also an attitude.

After taking out one hundred and twenty-one rounds of pistol ammunition, David first handed the shell casing that was knocked out to Will, and then put all the bullets into an ammunition bag separately.

According to his thinking, he doesn't need to carry ordinary bullets, he has enough means to fight the enemy, and he can also use bows and arrows when encountering ordinary people or beasts.

The Holy Light Hunter in his hand is not so much a medium-range and short-range defensive weapon as it is a portable heavy firepower. He was actually quite curious, if he encountered a tank, could he blow it up with one shot? Anyway, he was sure that the weasel ultralight tank in the village would not be able to withstand a single shot.

"Hammer of Judgment, and this Light Hunter, do you need to bring anything else?" After clearing the shooting range, everyone was concerned about David's trip. Laura took a picture of David while asking questions. The down jacket on David: "I definitely can't go out wearing it like this!"

The new year is here, and although Lindong Village still looks like a large construction site, the general outline has already emerged.

Considering that the whole year of this year may not be too peaceful, David has already stated that he is going to set off for Iron Tree Fort recently, and if it doesn't go well, he will go to the capital.

If you go early, you can return earlier. It is best to return to Lindong Town before the autumn harvest. At that time, the surrounding villages may find that their food is not enough, and they are very likely to do something to Lindong Village.

"Some documents, maybe some gifts."

Other than that, he really has nothing to prepare. As the head of a small village in the most remote part of the kingdom, it is 'impossible' for him to come up with any rare and good things.

"Also, I won't go with you this time. I have something to deal with." Laura is still the adventurous Laura. Compared with the ruins of civilization in the book, she still prefers the latter: "Also, I always feel that this adventure is very important and must not be missed."

David nodded, knowing in his heart that the Holy Trinity was finally going to cool down completely. Laura, who had mastered the Holy Light and learned some hunter skills, would become even more difficult to deal with.

Just when David was thinking about how miserable Holy Trinity was, Steve suddenly came over: "David, there are some things I want to ask you for advice."
