Chapter 146: Crafting a Pistol

That night, Xu Feng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He looked at the wooden ceiling and recalled the entire process of fighting against the Japanese pirates. Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Yup!"

Suddenly Xu Feng slapped his head and said, "Since we can make cannons, we can also make pistols."

Cannons are naturally used to attack enemies and defend the country, but pistols are easy to carry and can be used for self-defense.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng could no longer sleep. He immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter, and sent someone to deliver it to Mr. Zhuge urgently over eight hundred miles.

……

Three days later, Mr. Zhuge hurried to the capital with Xuantie and craftsmen to find Xu Feng.

"Master Xu..."

"Mr. Zhuge..."

After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Xu Feng immediately invited Mr. Zhuge and the craftsmen into the hall.

"Congratulations, sir, on being conferred the title of Marquis. This unparalleled feat is a first for our dynasty."

Upon hearing the good news from the capital, Mr. Zhuge was happy for Xu Feng from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Excellency is a rare talent of our time. You are appreciated by His Majesty. It is only a matter of time before the court appoints you as a noble or a prime minister."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xu Feng immediately laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zhuge. Without your contribution, the cannon would not have been successfully built."

Xu Feng paused and continued, "Speaking of cannons, I now have a new idea."

"My lord, it's okay to say so."

"Although cannons are powerful, they are large and heavy, making them difficult to carry."

"To address the weakness of cannons, I want to create a new type of weapon—a pistol."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Feng immediately placed the design drawings he had prepared in advance on the table.

"A pistol can be used for self-defense, and it's relatively small and light, making it convenient to carry."

"Although it's small, it's quite lethal."

Mr. Zhuge took the drawing and examined it carefully.

"Is this weapon also made of steel? Does it also need to be filled with ammunition?"

"How long does it take to build this weapon? How many people are needed?"

Mr. Zhuge asked a series of questions, but every one of them was on point, which made Xu Feng appreciate his talent even more.

In fact, after countless tests and confrontations some time ago, Xu Feng has confirmed that Mr. Zhuge did not travel from modern society.

The Dashun Dynasty had such a talented person with avant-garde thinking.

It is really unfair that such a person is not valued by the court and has to devote himself to a small Holy Fire Sect.

However, when Mr. Zhuge heard that he could create a new type of weapon, he naturally became excited.

"Don't worry about that. I've already designed the blueprints, and the construction process is actually similar to that of a cannon."

Then Xu Feng took out the blueprint and explained the principle of the pistol to Mr. Zhuge.

"What needs to be filled in a pistol is not explosives, but something called a bullet."

Finally, Xu Feng immediately took out another design drawing and drew the model of the bullet.

"These bullets all have a certain diameter, so they naturally need to match the corresponding pistol."

"There are many types of pistols, including revolvers and Brownings..."

"So how do you build this weapon?"

Mr. Zhuge looked at Xu Feng with a puzzled expression. Of course, this was the issue that concerned him most.

"But there is one thing I'm very curious about."

Mr. Zhuge paused, looking at Xu Feng with a puzzled look. "Based on the design drawings and the theoretical explanation of weapons, a pistol should be less lethal than a cannon. But why did you insist on creating one?"

"Is such a good weapon only used for self-defense?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhuge shook his head subconsciously.

With Xu Feng's foresight and vision, it would definitely not be that simple.

"Actually, the reason I did this was also for the consideration of the Holy Fire Cult."

It turned out that although Xu Feng had made many efforts before, the prejudices of various factions in the martial arts world against the Holy Fire Sect were greatly reduced.

However, it is extremely difficult for a newly emerged sect to be listed as one of the eight famous religions of Dashun.

Although the imperial court has not yet conducted a thorough purge, it is still a hidden danger after all.

However, it is not easy to ask the emperor to issue an order to certify the Holy Fire Sect.

You must make corresponding contributions in exchange for it.

However, the most talented and intelligent person in the Holy Fire Sect is Mr. Zhuge. Xu Feng plans to work together with Mr. Zhuge to create a pistol, so that he can gain an opportunity in front of the emperor.

But this is the capital after all, and the right prime minister's spies might be hiding around you unexpectedly.

Things are still unresolved at the moment, so Xu Feng naturally won't make things too clear.

But Mr. Zhuge was a smart man and quickly understood Xu Feng's true intention.

"Thank you, Master Xu, for still thinking of us."

"You're welcome, sir. We are good friends."

That night, Mr. Zhuge and Xu Feng had a long talk. After countless improvements and designs, the prototype of the *** rifle suddenly appeared on the paper.

"We already have experience in producing cannons, so producing pistols is a piece of cake now."

"Go back and tell your craftsmen that they only need to make slight changes to the production line to switch to producing pistols."

"Of course the barrel tip needs to be changed. After all, the previous cannon was ten centimeters, but now the pistol only needs five centimeters."

It was just the beginning, and Xu Feng didn't want to try everything at once. He planned to make a batch of conventional pistols first and then make a decision.

"Of course, the different calibers of the barrels naturally require different routes inside. This also involves the spring principle of the piston and the structure that secures the pistol and the pressure line."

While Xu Feng was explaining, he wrote down all the important steps on paper and handed it to Mr. Zhuge.

"So where should we choose our production site?"

Mr. Zhuge frowned slightly. "Most of the people around us now are the Right Prime Minister's spies. I'm afraid that if this matter gets out, it will be detrimental to us in the future."

"I've already thought about it. I'll put it in the Holy Fire Cult's branch."

Mr. Zhuge looked at Xu Feng with a little surprise. He didn't expect that the other party had so much trust in them, which made him deeply moved.

"Master Xu has always been considerate of us and trusts us. Even if it costs me my life, I, Zhuge Xuan, will definitely help you complete the manufacture of the pistol."

Mr. Zhuge looked at Xu Feng with a confident look on his face.

"Sir, there's no need to be so nervous. If the pistol can truly benefit the country and the people, it would be a truly great achievement. It would also allow the world to rediscover the Holy Fire Cult."
