Chapter 18: Not enough swords
"This is easy to handle. Didn't I find someone for you?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Then he greeted Meng Tian: "Meng Tian. Come here."
Meng Tian took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty... the village chief."
Under the intimidation of Ying Zheng's eyes, Meng Tian abruptly changed his words.
Ying Zheng said with satisfaction: "I know you like swords. Now that you are responsible for the iron smelting room, you can refine the sword however you want."
"You like swords." Qin An said in surprise, "There are many people who like swords in this era. Generally, people who like swords must be very skilled."
Meng Tian frowned slightly and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this? Don't people nowadays like swords? They are for self-defense."
Qin An sighed and said: "This sword may be a self-defense item in the village, but outside, the sword has become a controlled item and not everyone can own it.
What's more important is that swords can no longer be used for self-defense, so everyone doesn't like to use swords, but guns.
A bullet directly blows the opponent's head off, even if the sword is a magic weapon, it is useless. "
"Is the gun so powerful?" Meng Tian said disdainfully.
It’s not like I’ve never seen a spear before. I’ve killed so many people with spears that I don’t even know how many people I’ve killed.
Looking at Meng Tian's expression, Qin An knew that the other party had misunderstood.
"Old Meng, the gun you are talking about is different from the gun I am talking about. What you are talking about is this kind of long gun with a spear head, which is generally used to deal with cavalry." Qin An gestured with his hands.
Meng Tian said: "Is there any other gun that the gentleman mentioned?"
Qin An smiled and said: "Of course they are other guns. I can't tell clearly, so it's better to show them directly to you."
Meng Tian said in surprise: "Sir, do you mean you have the gun you mentioned?"
"No." Qin An said, then took out his mobile phone and said, "But I have a mobile phone."
Ying Zheng and Li Si's eyes lit up, and they could see their husband's world again.
Meng Tian frowned slightly and said, "What is this? What kind of chicken is a mobile phone? Why have I never heard of it?"
"If you haven't heard of it, that only proves that this place is too backward and has never been in contact with the outside world. Otherwise, it would be impossible not to recognize mobile phones."
Qin An turned on his phone. Ying Zheng and Li Si immediately came to his side and watched as the phone was turned on.
"Oh no, the battery is almost out. I wish I could find my suitcase and I can still charge it with a power bank. Let me tell you, I brought five power bank with me, which can be used more than a dozen times. .”
Power bank, what kind of treasure is this?
Ying Zheng and Li Si looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Qin An did not open the photo album this time, but directly opened the video, a movie he downloaded the night before he came to teach as a volunteer.
Among them are gun fight movies.
Qin An found one of the gunfight movies and turned on the movie.
"This? Why can the people on the phone move and talk?" Ying Zheng asked in shock.
Qin An replied casually: "This is called a movie. Lao Meng, come here, this is a gun. To distinguish it from a long gun, we call it a musket."
Meng Tian was shocked when he saw the phone light up, and was even more shocked when he saw the movie characters on the phone.
I also saw characters in the movie shooting at each other with muskets, especially three of them holding so-called muskets and killing dozens of people who rushed out in an instant.
Ying Zheng and Li Si were also shocked.
Is this a gun? Why is it so powerful? What else is that? Just let the house blow up?
Suddenly the phone screen went completely black.
"Hey, the power is still out." Qin An said sarcastically.
Ying Zheng didn't understand what it meant that the power was out, so he said directly: "Sir, why is it out of power? Are you continuing to let us watch?"
Li Si then asked: "Is this a musket? Why is it so powerful?"
Qin An put away his mobile phone and said: "Comrade Village Chief, the battery is out. If the mobile phone is out of power, it cannot be used. Just like when a person eats, there is no way to use the mobile phone without charging.
There was no electricity in the village, so I had no way to charge my phone.
By the way, the village chief doesn’t often go to the next village. I handed my phone to the village chief and went to the next village to charge it for me. "
Regardless of whether Ying Zheng agreed or not, Qin An directly put the phone in Ying Zheng's hand.
Ying Zheng held the phone and for a moment he had the urge not to give it back to Qin An. Finally, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and stuffed the phone back to Qin An.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid no one in this area knows what electricity is? So let's wait until we help him find his suitcase and use this mobile phone."
Qin An held the mobile phone and said: "Hey, this mobile phone is just a brick when it is out of battery. Forget it, let's talk about it later.
Okay, I have shown you the musket, Lao Meng. Now you know that the sword has no effect on the outside world. "
Meng Tian recovered from the shock and said, "Here, do people outside have such a gun?"
"How is it possible?" Qin An said, "Now that we are in a legal society, how is it possible that anyone can possess such a destructive weapon?
The state prohibits people from owning such guns. Not only guns, but also swords are not allowed to be carried.
If you wander the streets with a sword, the police will talk to you. "
police? What is this for?
Meng Tian looked confused and asked: "If the common people are not allowed to have these weapons, what will happen to the bandits if they encounter them?"
Qin An's head is full of black lines, robbers and bandits, which have almost been extinct in China for a hundred years, but there are still gangsters.
But with all the eyes of the sky, the gangsters would not dare to blatantly come out to harm people.
"Lao Meng, to be honest, you should go out of the village for a walk. There are no robbers or bandits outside. There are gangsters, but they don't dare to do evil.
There is harmony outside, people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone abides by the law, and the crime rate can be said to be very low. "Qin An said.
"Meng Tian, since Sir has said so, then the outside world is absolutely as Sir said, but this does not stop you from liking the sword.
Sir, do you think so? "Ying Zheng said.
Qin An nodded and said: "The village chief is right. Everyone has different hobbies. For example, my hobby is learning, some people like shooting, and some people like sports cars. It is difficult for everyone's hobbies to hinder others.
Lao Meng, if you like swords, then make a good sword. These iron ores are not the best ores, and the swords you make are just ordinary swords.
It's best to find some cutting steel. The steel is harder, so that the sword can be made to cut iron as well as mud. "
"Really?" Meng Tian asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true, but I'm not familiar with identifying ores. You have to do it yourself. The best way is to make more swords." Qin An said.
