Mo Xiaohu also repeatedly advised: "That's right, that's right, you're here! Sir, don't leave in a hurry, I'll get the good stuff for you right now!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran to get something elsewhere, and soon ran back with a small box in his hands.
Open the box and there are only three things inside besides hay.
Mo Xiaohu took out the first one and said proudly: "This is the handgun that Zhao Lie mentioned. It's called a three-shot handgun! It can hit three shots in a row!"
"Although it's not as powerful as a flintlock gun, it's more convenient for concealment. It's perfect for personal protection!"
Zhao Lie's eyes flashed: "That's right! This is it!"
"Last time I came here you said it wasn't finished yet. What I brought out this time should be the finished product."
Mo Xiaohu shook his head: "How should I put it? This thing still can't meet the requirements of the master. It still has a lot of flaws. It is extremely slow to change ammunition. But fortunately, as long as three rounds of ammunition are loaded in advance, you can be prepared for unexpected events."
"Actually, it's not just three rounds. It can also hold more ammunition. However, the greater the number, the easier it is to have the problem of jamming and exploding the chamber. It has not been solved yet."
"We don't have many people in our institute, so being able to fire three shots stably is the limit, and the cost of this gun is more than 600 taels!"
Six hundred taels? Xie Xian felt a lot more relieved when he looked at the gun. This thing looked a lot shorter and thick, so it shouldn't be able to kill anyone...
"This thing... shouldn't explode, right?"
"No instrument can be completely guaranteed to be safe, but the safety of this gun is still acceptable. The barrel has been thickened and the possibility of exploding the chamber is extremely low, but it may still jam." Mo Xiaohu explained: "But That’s not a problem! Just bring two extra ones! If they break, just replace them!”
Zhao Lie obviously admired the handgun very much and exclaimed: "Good! Today I can fire three rounds in a row. Maybe in a few years I can shoot thirty rounds in a row? That won't make me invincible!"
"Take a shot first to see how powerful it is? If it works, I want as many of them as you have!"
Mo Xiaohu sighed: "There are only four. If you want them, just take them all."
"All open flames are used underground, so the remaining ammunition and gunpowder are stored in the research institute above ground."
"And we don't have the funds here right now, so we can only be responsible for drawing and designing."
"Oh, by the way, be careful to avoid people from Dianjing City when taking gunpowder and test firing. But they usually live in Xueyue Tower, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"The use of the gun is very simple. Just hold the trigger and aim at the opponent to shoot. As for loading, the people above will teach you."
Xie Xian took the gun and played with it briefly before nodding.
Then Mo Xiaohu carefully took out a large wooden box from the box.
Zhao Lie saw this and asked curiously: "What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Mo Xiaohu smiled proudly: "This is called a landmine! There is a mechanism inside. If you step on it, the explosive will explode! Anyone who hits it will die!"
"There is no gunpowder bag inside, which is more troublesome than using a gun, and it can only be used for defense, not offense."
"In addition to stepping on it, you can also use a trip wire to trigger it!"
"Even the master has never seen this baby!"
Zhao Lie immediately became excited when he heard this: "Okay! Okay! This is truly practical!"
"It would be much easier to go hunting tigers in the mountains if you had this thing. Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Mo Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said: "I just made it recently. The structure of this thing is not complicated and the production is simple."
"The most important thing is to save money... We found two carpenters and built it. Except for flint and gunpowder, it is basically made of wood."
"But you can add some gravel or iron pieces when filling it to double the power!"
Zhao Lie picked up the wooden box and played with it, then smiled and said, "It's not easy for you, but I think it's unnecessary to step on it."
"It's too troublesome to arrange such a big thing. Most of us are moving in the city and there's no way to bury it. What idiot with no eyesight would step on it?"
Mo Xiaohu turned around without saying a word, took a pen, and wrote a line of big words on the mine box "You dare to step on it and try it".
"Do you want to step on it now?"
Zhao Lie: "......"
Xie Xian: "......"
The two were speechless for a moment.
I really want to step on it... But this trick can only be used once, so you have to lay it out in advance...
"It can be used even in the city. If you lengthen the trip wire, throw it directly into someone's yard and then pull the trip wire, it will still explode."
Zhao Lie said thoughtfully: "Well, not bad! It's interesting to throw it out and detonate it! This is a good usage!"
Finally, Mo Xiaohu leaned over and took out the last thing, which was a dagger with a slightly strange shape.
"This looks like a dagger, but it's actually a gun!"
"There is a small trigger here. As long as you press the bottom of the dagger handle, a projectile will be fired. Although the power is not fatal, it can be a surprise in close combat!"
"With guns and daggers, an untrained ordinary person can withstand three or four trained soldiers in close combat!"
"Coupled with the mines, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend! If the opponent's numbers are not far greater than yours, there will be no problem in ensuring safety!"
Xie Xian nodded with admiration.
It seems that the guys at the Firearms Institute are still very useful. You can consider going back and asking the master to help them apply for funds.
"That's all. Sir, what do you think?" Mo Xiaohu's eyes were full of hope.
In the past two years, the Firearms Institute has been overwhelmed by steam. Whether it can get funding depends on this time!
"Very good! Very good! I will report this to the master after I have used it!"
Mo Xiaohu suddenly beamed with joy: "Okay, okay! Once the funds are approved, I'll invite you to go to Xueyue Tower to have fun!"
"I want to go too," Zhao Lie said.
"Then add you."
"Sir, everything is ready. What else do we need to prepare? If there is nothing we need to prepare, we can set off at any time."
The departure time seems to be a bit hasty now. The master has given me a month to prepare, so we definitely can't hit the road in such a hurry.
We still need to find Zhou Tie and Qian Desheng to learn about the situation in the old land of Qian Kingdom in the south, find some manpower, and make some preparations.
Otherwise, if you act hastily, accidents will inevitably occur, and it may be troublesome to seek supplies at that time!
Xie Xian thought for a moment and said: "No rush, the master gave me a month. I have to practice this gun first. I need to learn more about the situation in the salt-producing areas in the south. This time I will go out for a long time. You should also go home and make some preparations."
"And... we may have to go to many places, and we need to go to Yinfang to prepare some clearance routes. From now on, our people will declare themselves Jinyiwei if there is too much movement when walking outside!"
"What is Jinyiwei?"
"You don't have to worry about that, just remember that you are a royal guard!"
"understood!"
