Chapter 1197: Evil Eye Gatling Type I, Points Exchange Completed

Speaking of revolving firearms, their earliest appearance on Earth can be traced back to the early sixteenth century.

At that time, it was still a revolving matchlock gun.

It was not until the early nineteenth century that Collier invented the revolving flintlock pistol.

However, the one who truly popularized revolving firearms was Colt.

From the first cap-fired revolving pistol to the first rifle with practical significance, Colt’s repeating rifle, also known as the first ring-lever revolving rifle.

These can all be called the ancestors of revolving firearms.

As for the revolving machine gun, it’s just an extension of this structure.

Indeed, the importance of revolving firearms to the development of firearm history has long been proven.

The most significant advantage of this structure is its ability to greatly enhance the firearm’s rate of fire and shooting speed.

This principle can certainly be applied to the traits of the “Evil Eye.”

Magic energy serves as the ammunition, with the Evil Eye merely converting the magic energy into “Evil Eye Beams.”

Once the principle is explained clearly, the expertise of the Dwarf Uncle and Goblin Engineer naturally allows them to quickly create a prototype.

Now it’s time to test this “Evil Eye Gatling.”

He slightly bends his knees, leans forward, and lifts it up by the rear handle.

One must say the structure of this thing does seem a bit bloated.

For Iron Hand Bucklon and Dwarf Uncle, recreating a revolving structured firearm isn’t difficult.

But compressing its size is not easy.

Especially in the Endless Continent, where the concept of fine craftsmanship doesn’t exist.

No matter how bloated the magic energy mechanism is made, there is always a large group of warriors with brute strength and big muscles rooted in their minds who can use it easily.

Zong Shen holding the “Evil Eye Gatling” is like holding a uniquely shaped machine cannon.

Previously, he even considered asking Iron Hand Bucklon to design it with a manual crank.

Unexpectedly, that guy directly connected the revolving system with the magic energy core to enable power through magic energy.

This indeed gives it a hint of electronic revolving.

He lowers his head, gaze fixed, checking its detailed attributes.

[Skills: None]

[Passive Skills: (Burning), (Corrosion), (Pain), (Disease), (Frost), (Wail), (Strangle), (Grief), (Filth), (Cruelty)]

(The prototype Evil Eye Gatling is not yet engraved with magic runes, only possessing nine passive damage traits of the Evil Eye)

“The damage hasn’t changed, but the range seems to have increased by more than 50%.”

Zong Shen quickly finishes checking the attributes, looking up at the Goblin Engineer Iron Hand Bucklon.

Hearing his words, Iron Hand Bucklon becomes excited again.

“Lord, your insight is remarkable!”

“The barrels are made sturdy because I applied a layer of alloy coating of secret silver and refined gold in a 3 to 1 blend inside the barrel walls. This coating effectively concentrates the beam, making it less likely to dissipate, hence the increased range!”

“If there’s enough time, this clumsy Dwarf could forge the barrels with ‘Tenacity’ and ‘Smooth’ runes, further enhancing the range!”

Iron Hand Bucklon explains the issue of the increased range of the “Evil Eye Beams.”

Indeed, certain technological modifications can enhance a material’s inherent traits.

This probably belongs to the unique charm of engineering and rune forging technology.

“This magic energy reserve of twenty thousand is a bit lacking.”

“Based on its consumption rate, even without considering the revolving system’s magic energy consumption, it can only fire continuously at maximum speed for about two minutes.”

“In combat, it can only deal damage slightly more than the equivalent amount of magic energy.”

Zong Shen poses a second problem.

However, Iron Hand Bucklon seems to have already thought of a solution.

“The solution to this problem is quite simple.”

“And that is to further increase its size.”

“In fact, it can be mounted on certain magic energy vehicles.”

“For example, your Burden-Bearer Mecha is an excellent modification platform.”

“Once mounted on a vehicle, we can indiscriminately increase the size of the energy storage components.”

“Theoretically, I can transform it into a weapon platform with tens of thousands of magic energy reserves!”

His words brighten Zong Shen’s eyes.

Here, one just has to mention the importance of specialized knowledge.

Although Zong Shen possesses technological concepts from Earth, his thinking doesn’t extend as far as Iron Hand Bucklon; with such professional spirit, even if these Goblin Engineers were to be placed on Earth, they would soon grasp the essence of Earth’s technology.

He didn’t even think about mounting it on a vehicle, only considered making a handheld remote weapon for individual soldiers.

Actually, for a lord with a storage grid, making it into a vehicle is the best option.

At that time, the vehicle could also be given to other warriors for use.

Moreover, the vehicle’s mobility combined with the high rate of fire of the “Evil Eye Gatling” is simply the perfect complement!

Even the issue of magic energy endurance can be resolved!

“Evil Eye Beams,” unlike conventional firearms ammunition, do not have overheating losses during firing.
