In the past few days together, this was the first time she said so many words.
A person who is different from the norm must have thoughts in his heart.
In today's Daliang, firearms are not popular. This weapon is too advanced. If it spreads widely, it will definitely cause trouble.
Song Che's original intention of making the musket was just to protect his family. As for his more ambitious ambitions, he had no plans yet.
Even though the woman killed the Japanese, it didn't prove that she was an absolutely good person, not to mention that she had tested Song Che's background this morning.
In this world filled with killings and worldly sentiments, one more suspicion cannot go amiss.
"The range of this musket is naturally incomparable to that of a crossbow. I just made it for hunting birds. Its range is about the same as a slingshot." Song Che said casually.
"Really?" The woman looked a little disappointed and whispered: "If the shot is farther, maybe we can go to the battlefield..."
war?
Song Che became even more suspicious.
To put it bluntly, the invention of guns was the main culprit of cruel wars. He didn't want to bring firearms to ancient battlefields to serve as meat grinders...at least not now.
"By the way, Heroine, let me ask you this, do you martial arts masters have the kind of hard Qigong that makes you invulnerable?" He changed the subject.
The woman said: "Of course there is. Many horizontal exercises use internal strength to strengthen the body. It cannot be cut with a knife or pierced by a sword."
Song Che pursed his lips. It seemed that the musket might not be able to kill anyone. When he saw Di Fei performing "Light Kung Fu Floating on Water" in Yangzhou before, he realized that Gao Wu was real.
At present, muskets use ball bullets. If they can be sharpened and made into armor-piercing bullets, no matter how powerful the iron cloth shirt is, you can try it.
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" The woman cast a suspicious look.
Song Che smiled and said, "It's just a casual question, it's not worth mentioning."
The woman said nothing and walked straight back to the thatched cottage.
"Hey, by the way, Heroine." Song Che suddenly stopped her.
"Do you have anything else?" the woman looked back and asked.
Song Che hesitated, then asked: "How is your injury getting better?"
The woman lowered her eyes and said, "I will leave soon."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It doesn't matter how long you stay here," Song Che explained: "Those Fuso ninjas are cruel and ruthless. Maybe they will come back again. Heroine... where should we go next? ?”
The woman was silent for a while, then whispered: "Go where I should go."
Good guy, asking is like asking in vain, saying is like not saying.
"Why are those Fuso ninjas coming to hunt you? I heard that they asked you for a 'scroll' before." Song Che changed the subject and hurriedly explained: "The heroine doesn't need to worry too much. It's just that Japanese pirates have been scurrying along the coast recently, causing people to panic. ,so--"
"The more you know, the faster you will die. It's none of your business, so don't worry about it." Although the woman's words were ruthless, her tone was quite calm. She walked to the door, turned around and added: "Don't worry about it." Be afraid, the Japanese pirates won’t be rampant for long.”
After finishing speaking, he went into the house and closed the door.
At least from a national standpoint, she is by no means a bad person.
That's right, why should I mind my own business? The more you control, the faster you die.
Song Che shook his head with a smile and continued to test the firearm.
He tried firing three more times in succession. The power remained unchanged and the barrel did not explode. The long gun was considered a success.
He then used the same method to test-fire the revolver several times, also at a dead tree 200 paces away. The lethality was not significantly different from that of a long gun.
The range of long-range weapons and their lethality are completely different concepts. Crossbows can indeed pierce enemies with a hundred steps, but Song Che was skeptical about the woman's previous words about breaking armor and killing enemies. You must know that even a modern pistol can only effectively kill More than twenty feet long, the crossbow is no bigger than a bullet. Not only is it long and slow, it will deflect in the slightest strong wind.
Song Che estimated that the effective killing power of a spear is about two hundred steps, and that of a revolver is about a hundred steps. In short, at fifty meters away, if the aim is accurate, the gunshot will kill someone. This is the biggest advantage of firearms.
After testing the musket, Song Che made a bomb using a wine gourd. The principle was the same as the previous crock bomb. He poured strong gunpowder into the gourd, used burlap powder as a fuse, and plugged the bottle mouth tightly to seal it.
Song Che took the fire gourd and planned to go out to test its power. At this moment, the woman walked out of the thatched cottage. She tied her hair up and tied her waist, and changed into black clothes.
"The heroine is leaving?" Song Che stepped forward and asked.
The woman hummed softly and walked straight out of the courtyard.
"Your injury——"
"How can you walk around the world without getting hurt?"
"No, you may not understand. The sutures must be removed after the sutured wounds heal. You might as well stay for a few more days and I will remove the stitches for you before leaving?" Song Che asked to stay.
The woman gave a cold look and said, "You still want to take off my clothes?"
"This..." Song Che sighed to himself, who could stop him from leaving? He took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the woman, "I'll give this money to you as a favor on the road."
The woman did not take the money, but looked at Song Che seriously: "We in the world have always repaid our grudges. You saved my life. I owe you a favor. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you." .”
"Then take this with you," Song Che threw the newly made fire gourd to the woman: "To use it, you only need to light the fuse and throw it at the enemy within five breaths, with a radius of three feet. You will either die or be injured. You have seen it before It’s powerful.”
The woman grabbed the gourd, hesitated for a moment, and then hung it on her waist. She said "Thank you" in the mosquito voice, jumped out of the ten-foot-high wall, came to the carriage, cut off the reins with a sword, mounted the horse and ran towards the mountain road. .
"Hey, hey, hey... wait a minute! You took my horse away, how can I go back?" Song Che hurriedly chased him out of the courtyard.
The woman smiled sweetly, but didn't look back.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Song Che shouted and asked, "Xia Xia, if you want to repay your kindness, you have to leave a name, right?"
The fast horse disappeared, and then an echo was heard in the valley:
"My name is Ning Yehong!"
"Nvxia Ning, the green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. We will meet again in the future!"
