I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

Today, the dozens of Kabane encountered an unexpected situation. Li Mo, who was standing on the outer wall of Xianjinyi, held the long Type 38 rifle in his hand very calmly and completed the shooting with quick and precise movements - ejecting the shell and reloading the rifle - the shooting steps. The Type 38 rifle, which has always been known for its accuracy and small recoil, exerted the lethality of a sniper rifle in Li Mo's hands. He eliminated dozens of Kabane one by one, and even the more difficult one that was a thief was shot and killed by Li Mo who was discovered at the first time.

As a thief among Kabane, he was a samurai with superb combat skills in his life and has become an elite unit of Kabane. He can still more or less use the combat methods he was familiar with in his life. Compared with those Kabane who only know how to mindlessly charge and bite the enemy, at least one thief can deal with ten Kabane. However, the strength of his heart membrane is not much stronger than the core heart membrane of an ordinary Kabane. He was directly hit by a rifle bullet and turned into a corpse.

However, the Type 38 rifle in Li Mo's hand was a bolt-action rifle after all. For fifty Kabane running at the speed of athletes, if the distance was from 600 meters to 200 meters, even if he killed half of the Kabane, there would still be half of the enemies left!

"fire!"

With an order, a twelve-pound Napoleon cannon on the high wall opened fire. More than 100 finger-thick shotguns swept across an area of ​​ meters. The twenty or so Kabane that rushed over were knocked over by the oncoming shotguns and fell to the ground like tattered dolls. Occasionally, some Kabane could move a few times, but without the support of their limbs, they were no longer a threat.

What's more, Li Mo was very considerate and kept shooting one by one. The overly obvious light of the Kabane's cores really provided the best target for people to aim at. Destroying the cores and making sure the light disappeared was the best way to confirm the death of the Kabane!

……

The battle, which lasted less than five minutes, was declared over, but the group of people watching the battle on the wall of Xianjinyi was completely silent. From the head and eldest daughter of the Sifangchuan family who had come out to relax and watch the excitement, to the coolies who were ordered by Li Mo to escort the artillery and ammunition, everyone had their eyes wide open.

For the Neon natives of the world of Kabane, they had never seen such a clean and neat battle against Kabane. Although there had been battles against Kabane in the past, most of the brave samurai and soldiers were directly approached and bitten to death by the monsters that were difficult to kill with steam guns. In the past, they relied on their large numbers to encircle and suppress a few Kabane, but it was difficult to kill these monsters without paying the price of blood. When the number of Kabane increased to an absolute advantage, the Neon people huddled in various castles could only rely on Kabane to communicate.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Japanese hiding in various castles may die every time they rely on railways and the Kabane to transport supplies or personnel. Occasionally, we hear that some castles were completely destroyed by Kabane. Many civilians and even samurai dare not even think about resisting and defeating Kabane. They would rather hide in the castle and beg for peace.

However, what the head of the Shigaogawa family, the eldest daughter Shigaogawa Ayame and their followers saw now was a scene of victory that seemed like a crushing victory. Dozens of Kabane that once seemed terrifying could not even get close to the moat of Xianjinze and were all destroyed!

"Li...well, Mo Jun, you did a great job!"

When the head of the Sifangchuan family was the first to come to his senses, he immediately demonstrated his ability as a daimyo. He changed his previous way of calling Li Mo by his name to a more intimate name, with a polite and courteous attitude.

This was a matter of course. Anyone with a little bit of vision who saw the scene just now would know how important it was to have weapons that could kill Kabane in this world where people were threatened by Kabane and their lives were in danger at any moment. Moreover, with the vision of the head of the Shifangchuan family, he could naturally see how important the new type of firearms called the [Type 38 Rifle] and the [Napoleon Cannon] were to Xian Jinze himself. It could be said that Xian Jinyi had an extremely powerful trump card.

Sifangchuan Acorus and the other samurai followers, of course, saw how politely their master treated the foreign refugee. However, including those who once privately grumbled about Li Mo enjoying samurai treatment, now took it for granted!

"Lord City Lord, the weapon test was successful, but there are still some problems!"

Hearing the polite greeting from the head of the Sifangchuan family, Li Mo appeared very calm and took out the Type 38 rifle in his hand, pointed at the scattered brass shells on the city wall, and gestured to the Napoleon cannon on the side, and explained to him: "For example, there is no problem with the production of rifles, but the propellant needs me to personally prepare it for small-scale production. And the propellant for artillery can certainly be mass-produced, but manual scraping of saltpeter is not enough..."

In this regard, Li Mo did not say anything nonsense. The industrial capacity of Xianjinyi was obviously much stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army at that time. There was no technical difficulty in mass-producing the Type 38 rifles and Napoleon cannons. However, the modern propellants used in firearms and the granular propellants used in Napoleon cannons could cost people's lives.

Thanks to the time-travel novels he had read and the chemistry knowledge he learned in high school, it was not difficult for Li Mo to make the Napoleon cannon and granular propellant. The Type 38 rifle may seem to be a World War I-level firearm, but in fact the Eighth Route Army was able to manufacture the Type 81 rifle under simple conditions. For example, the Xianjinyi, which was able to repair and maintain trains and produce rails and steam guns, had no technical difficulty in manufacturing these two equipment. However, the manufacturing process and required materials for ammunition were another matter entirely.

——As a bronze cannon, the manufacturing difficulty of the Napoleon Cannon is that it can be completed even in the Bronze Age. However, the raw materials needed for granular propellant are not so easy to obtain. Sulfur and charcoal are relatively abundant resources in Japan, but saltpeter is almost non-existent. It is completely dependent on human saltpeter stacking technology to obtain saltpeter. For modern propellants like the Type 38 rifle, nitrocellulose requires a certain chemical foundation for mass production. It is obvious that the technology tree of the Iron Fortress world has gone astray. Japan really does not have any chemical basic industry worthy of praise.

Therefore, when Li Mo just crossed over to the world of the Iron Fortress but had not yet entered the White Mist Space, he felt the pressure of being associated with the common people of Xianjinyi who were struggling to survive with two meals a day because of his low value. He gritted his teeth and conducted the experiment of synthesizing nitrocellulose on his own. Fortunately, Li Mo, who was well aware of the situation, took excellent protective measures and avoided the tragic scene of the Nobel experiment failing and killing his own people.

Now, Li Mo had to make the problem clear in advance. Otherwise, if the head of the Sifangchuan family got carried away and asked him to immediately mass-produce the Type 38 rifles or Napoleon cannons, he would have to explain it to him!

"Well, that's not bad! Eh? Mo Jun, what are you going to do?!"

The head of the Sifangchuan family was certainly a little disappointed with Li Mo's answer, but he also thought it was natural. After all, he was the famous city lord of Xianjinyi and understood the difficulty of manufacturing new weapons. But then he was stunned by the other party's actions.

"Lord City Lord, I am going to take some people down to bring back Kabane's body to see the specific lethality of the new guns and artillery!"

At this time, Li Mo had already put away his rifle, bowed slightly to the head of the Shifangchuan family, and then turned and walked towards the other side of the city gate. He really wanted to study the situation of Kabane in reality, such as playing some etiquette corporal tricks with the Shifangchuan city lord. Li Mo, who had already obtained extraordinary powers and also researched the [Seed of Black Shadow], really didn't care.

Seeing Li Mo's decisive action, the head of the Sifangchuan family was stunned for several seconds before he reacted. Regardless of Li Mo's seemingly rude behavior, he whispered to the surrounding warriors and servants to protect Li Mo's safety!

……

Although the head of the Sifangchuan family was slightly dissatisfied with Li Mo's rude behavior, he was very clear about the importance of a scientific research talent. This was just like how he treated those highly skilled craftsmen in Xianjinyi, and gave them status and treatment comparable to that of ordinary warriors.

After all, those [Jun Cities] are the lifeline that maintains the hundreds of cities in Japan. Without [Jun Cities] to connect King Kong Station and the surrounding cities, Japan's current population of survivors would probably be reduced by more than half. Even King Kong Station, which has the largest population and the strongest power, cannot rely on the population of more than 100,000 or 200,000 and the extremely small territory to maintain its own industrial operations and agricultural needs.

Especially the Type 38 rifle and Napoleon cannon displayed by Li Mo, which have shown their power to defeat ordinary steam guns. The head of the Sifangchuan family, who knew that weapons with copper shell ammunition seemed to have appeared in the outside world but had not seen it with his own eyes but learned about it through letters from relatives and friends at King Kong Post, naturally knew that if he held this trump card in his hand, the strength and status of the Sifangchuan family would definitely be greatly improved, and top talents like Li Mo would never give up.

Fortunately, Li Mo did not make any overly dangerous moves. He really passed through the city gate and carefully arrived in the direction of the battlefield with a dozen samurai attendants. He directly retrieved dozens of heart cores including the heart core of the stolen skills. He did not stay in the direction of the battlefield, but returned directly to Xianjin Station and was called to the castle tower by the head of the Shifangchuan family.

Seeing Li Mo walk into the hall of the castle tower, the head of the Shifangchuan family, who had summoned him alone, was all smiles. He did not mention the other party's rude behavior just now, and said to Li Mo who had just sat down in a very generous manner:

"Mr. Mo, you have made a great contribution this time. Do you want any reward?"

Chapter 21 Li Mo's Request (New book, please collect and vote~!)

"Mr. Mo, you have made a great contribution this time. Do you want any reward?"

Seeing Li Mo sitting in front of him, the head of the Sifangchuan family was in a very good mood. He generously promised this outsider who came from a shipwreck. In his heart, he was thinking about what reward the other party would ask for and how he could tie this outstanding talent to the Sifangchuan family's ship to work for the Sifangchuan family and Xianjinyi.

As a Neon daimyo with above-average decisiveness and ability, the head of the Shigaogawa family naturally understood the importance of the new rifles and artillery after watching Li Mo's demonstration. It can be said that if it were not for the disaster of Kabane that caused the entire world to fall into the crisis of extinction of all mankind, including Neon, the Shigaogawa family's ability to produce new weapons alone would be enough to gain a higher status and more territory in Neon, and even have a chance to compete for the position of Shogun of Neon. Speaking of its importance to the Shigaogawa family, there is no doubt about it.

After all, the Shigagawa family and Xianjinyi are now facing the threat of Kabane. Ordinary civilians and lower-level samurai can still deceive themselves and think that they can live safely by hiding in the castles with dangerous terrain. However, the head of the Shigagawa family knows very well that bad news can be heard occasionally about the castles in Japan being captured by Kabane. If Xianjinyi does not have means of self-protection, it may be destroyed at any time.

It is precisely because of this that even though the new weapons developed by Li Mo have many shortcomings, they are extremely important to Xianjinyi. The head of the Sifangchuan family, who considers himself to be a superior, naturally has to be clear about rewards and punishments. Otherwise, how can he expect others to work hard for him in the future?

"reward……"

After hearing what the head of Sifangchuan said, Li Mo's eyebrows slightly raised, and he began to silently recite the knowledge of "The Actor's Self-cultivation" in his heart. Then his expression was very sincere, and he said to the middle-aged uncle in front of him: "Lord City Lord, what I want is to mobilize the steam factory of Xianjinyi, see the ability to mass-produce new weapons and supply them, and try to improve the steam gun, and prepare to recapture the port adjacent to Xianjinyi!"

"Hmm? Mo Jun, are you serious?!"

Hearing what Li Mo said, the head of the Sifangchuan family really couldn't believe what the other party said. He couldn't help but look at the other party and observe carefully. When he found that Li Mo had a serious expression, he spoke to him with a strange expression to confirm.

To be honest, if Li Mo asked for rewards such as territory, official position, wealth or even women, the head of the Sifangchuan family would not think there was anything strange. Isn't life all about fighting for these things? Moreover, in this world where one can be killed by Kabane at any time, living in the moment has become the wish of many people, and to do so requires capital.

However, Li Mo actually wanted the factory to mass-produce new weapons and improved steam guns, and also wanted to help Xianjinyi to recapture the port. What was going on?

Of course, the head of the Sifangchuan family did not know that Li Mo was by no means a helpful international friend. His ideas like helping Xianjinyi improve its military equipment and retake the port were because he had bigger plans for Xianjinyi.

Originally, when Li Mo did not realize that he could enter the white fog space and gain power from other worlds, his idea of ​​staying at Xianjin Station was to improve his status in order to prevent the scene of the fall of Xianjin Station in the original plot of Kabutojo. At this time, he could ride on the [Juncheng] and run away instead of being abandoned.

However, the plan obviously cannot keep up with the changes. Li Mo now has the power of four of his own in other worlds. It can be said that he has the ability to protect himself in the world of Kabutosen. He even analyzed the [Power of Shadow] and researched the [Seed of Shadow], which can immediately raise a team of more than fifty soldiers for him. But at this time, Li Mo will not act according to the original plot. What he wants is the actual control of the city of Xianjinyi, so that he can control all its manpower and material resources to deal with the threats of the villain Boss and Kabane in the original plot.

Under such circumstances, Li Mo naturally needs to obtain a higher status and power in Xianjin Station. For example, now that the head of the Sifangchuan family has taken the initiative to offer a reward, that is exactly what he wants. He does not need to use other means to control the head of the Sifangchuan family as the lord of Xianjin Station, but can try to utilize the industrial capacity of Xianjin Station first, and by the way, clean up those Kabane for actual combat to enhance his prestige.

Of course, Li Mo knew that he couldn't speak his plan openly, but the head of the Sifangchuan family would obviously not allow him to make requests at will. He was not prepared to waste a [Black Shadow Seed] to create a puppet, so he naturally thought of an excuse in advance!

"My Lord City Lord, as a shipwreck victim, my family in my hometown are waiting for me to return, so I have my own selfish motives in seeking to retake the port..."

Facing the questions from the head of Sifangchuan family, Li Mo's face darkened with a hint of grief, and he displayed superb acting skills, combined with the body control skills he acquired in Chinese martial arts. His eyes were red and even had tears in them.

Li Mo was mentally prepared for the questions that the head of the Sifangchuan family might raise and had made a draft. Borrowing his previous excuse of being a shipwreck victim, it was natural for him to use this excuse to cover up his lie. In addition, Xianjinyi did have a coastal area and port in the past, but it was threatened by Kabane and had to abandon the port and coastal area. Now, Li Mo first took out weapons and equipment, and then proposed to enhance industrial capabilities to fight, so he had a very suitable excuse.

Of course, Li Mo also saw that the head of the Sifangchuan family was not a person who was content with the status quo, so he took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​strengthening industrial capabilities and opening up the port. Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort if he really encountered someone who was a coward!

"...I see. I accept your appointment as the temporary manager of the Xianjinyi Factory. However, I will let me think about the matter of sending troops to retake the port for a while!"

After hearing Li Mo's words, the head of the Sifangchuan family resolved his doubts. Looking at Li Mo's red eyes and even tears in them, he thought about it for a while and made a decision. He asked Li Mo to temporarily take over the position of the general manager of Xianjinyi Factory, but he did not immediately agree to let him retake the port.

As the lord of Xianjinyi, the head of the Shigao River family naturally wants to recover all the territories that once belonged to the Shigao River family. However, under the threat of a large number of Kabane, this dream is just a luxury dream that can never be realized. What's more, the military strength of Xianjinyi itself is not very strong, and the steam guns at hand are at most effective against humans themselves. If he rashly goes out to recover the port, it might be a fresh gift package for Kabane. The head of the Shigao River family, who knows his own strengths and weaknesses, is naturally unwilling to send his samurai to die.

Now, the head of the Sifangchuan family felt a little excited. With the advanced firearms and artillery provided by Li Mo, it seemed that there was real hope for Xianjinyi to regain the port. If this step could be achieved, the strength of Xianjinyi and his own prestige would be greatly enhanced. However, for such a big event, the head of the Sifangchuan family could not make a decision all at once. He felt that he should think about it carefully.

Seeing the reaction of the head of Sifangchuan family, Li Mo knew that his suggestion still had a chance, and what he needed to do next was to take control of the factory in Xianjinyi and produce the [Jet Bomb] from the original plot first to strengthen the military strength of Xianjinyi!

Chapter 22: The male protagonist who becomes a tool man (new book, please collect and vote~!)

Why, when he already has the Type 38 rifle and the Napoleon cannon, does Li Mo still plan to look for the [jet bomb] from the original novel to strengthen the military power of Xianjinyi?

The reason is that it has been said long ago that the production of the Type 38 cannon and the Napoleon cannon is not a problem. It is not difficult for Xianjinyi to carry out industrialized production with its own industrial capabilities. However, the firearms propellants and granular propellants required for the two are a big problem. The nitrocellulose produced in the laboratory is only adequate for supplying dozens or hundreds of rifles, but more is not something that one person can handle, let alone granular propellants.

Before the [synthetic ammonia] process was ignited, humans had to rely on the supply of raw materials to use gunpowder weapons on a large scale. Neon had no shortage of high-quality sulfur and charcoal, but saltpeter ore was an absolute rarity in Neon. Li Mo, who failed to find saltpeter mines in Xianjinyi, was forced to use the saltpeter scraping technology.

That was an outdated method that was antique-level, which was to have people scrape saltpeter in the toilet. The collected saltpeter had to be refined before it could be used. Li Mo certainly didn't have to do this himself, but the problem was that there were only over 30,000 people in Xianjinyi, and the amount of saltpeter obtained by scraping saltpeter was very small. A Napoleon cannon would consume several kilograms of granular propellant for one shot. It was estimated that if more than ten Napoleon cannons fired one round, the saltpeter produced by Xianjinyi that day would be almost exhausted. If they wanted to equip more Napoleon cannons, they would have to find saltpeter mines.

It was precisely because of this realization that Li Mo understood why in the original anime of the world of Kabutoshi, a few years ago, Kaimen had clearly appeared with bolt-action rifles with metal shells and heavy artillery similar to the Dora Cannon, but was still equipped with steam guns, which had little lethality to Kabane. It was simply because Neon lacked factories with saltpeter and suitable modern firearms propellants, so naturally it could only produce steam guns.

Now, Li Mo is preparing to find out the male protagonist of the original plot of the world of the Iron Fortress in advance. The [Jet Bullet] invented by the other party gives the steam gun the power to kill Kabane, which is a more suitable weapon for the current Xianjinyi!

………………

Xianjinyi is an inn with a very developed steam industry. Almost all the nearby [Juncheng] are manufactured here. Except for the [McClatchy Steam Engine] which is the power core, Xianjinyi can directly produce other parts of [Juncheng].

As for producing steam guns, it was a piece of cake for Xianjinyi. That's why when Li Mo found himself running to the vicinity of Xianjinyi and was rescued by the head of Sifangchuan family and his group, he wanted to highlight his importance and said that he knew how to manufacture advanced weapons. It was because he estimated that the weapons and equipment he chose would not be difficult to manufacture for Xianjinyi.

--In fact, there is no obstacle for industrial equipment that can produce steam locomotives and steam guns to switch to producing army weapons and equipment at the World War I level, at least when considering the production of artillery with a caliber of 105MM or above, there is no technical difficulty in producing 75MM small-caliber artillery, flat-fire artillery, heavy machine guns and rifles. The reason why Li Mo chose to manufacture the Type cannon and Napoleon cannon in Xianjinyi, in addition to the restrictions on its ammunition, the most important reason was that he could not remember the design drawings of better rifles and artillery.

To be honest, when Li Mo first read novels and occasionally saw people making handmade firearms on the Internet, he did remember a few design drawings of light weapons from World War I and World War II. However, the difficulty of producing the Type 98 rifle and the Mauser K is obviously different. As for artillery, it goes without saying that except for those fanatical World War II enthusiasts who may study this, it is good enough that more people can remember the difference between muzzle-loading guns and breech-loading guns.

Now, Li Mo is preparing to use the Type 38 rifle as a sniper rifle, and the Napoleon cannon is also going to be replaced by the Tiger Cannon. Steam guns with jet bullets are the mainstream, but he has to find the male protagonist who invented the jet bullet first!

"Master General, this is our steam smelting factory area!"

Amid the roar of steam hammers and rivet guns, Li Mo, accompanied by a group of warriors and several officials, walked into the most important steam factory in Xianjinyi, observing the surrounding steam engines and smelting processes as he walked.

It has to be said that the technology tree in the world of Kabutosen is indeed special. Li Mo looked at the large steam engines and forging equipment that were full of retro feeling, and he felt like he was seeing an industrial antique. You have to know that in the world before he traveled through time, unless steam engines were needed in some special aspects, industrial electrification had already been realized. Even in Africa, steam engines are rarely seen, unless you see these antiques in industrial museums.

After pretending to appreciate it, Li Mo didn't see the male protagonist of the original story of Kabutoshi, so he turned to the manager and said, "I have some technical questions to ask. Please find the best steam technician here!"

Facing Li Mo's order, the official in charge, who knew that he had temporarily taken over the position of chief from the city lord, did not dare to neglect it and immediately gave orders to other subordinates. Soon, five steam technicians, including the original male protagonist Ikoma, were called over. They all looked at Li Mo and his group somewhat uncomfortably.

Among them, the protagonist Ikoma is the youngest of the five steam technicians, and the other four are mostly middle-aged workers in their thirties or forties. According to the introduction of a factory manager, Ikoma is indeed one of the most outstanding people in the factory's steam technology. Otherwise, when Miss Shikata Chuan Ayame came to repair the steam gun in the original plot, the factory manager would not have introduced the protagonist Ikoma to repair guns. Otherwise, if he was just a young man, no one would introduce him to offend the city lord's lady.

The problem was, Li Mo was looking at the green-haired boy who was wearing a craftsman's mirror and looked thin but very strong. He felt a little weird in his heart. The other person's green hair really made him want to laugh!

"Have you guys done any research on how to increase the power of the steam gun?"

Seeing the male protagonist Ikoma and several steam craftsmen, Li Mo suppressed the smile that he wanted to have towards the male protagonist Ikoma's green hair, looked at them solemnly and asked, but the only answer he got was silence.

Needless to say, the four steam craftsmen are responsible for repairing steam machines and some important parts. There is really not much research on weapons like steam guns, which are samurai equipment. In the original plot, the male protagonist Ikoma, who hates Kabane for his parents' death and wants to research weapons to kill Kabane, did not answer immediately but was a little hesitant!

"…Sir, do you want to increase the power of the steam gun in preparation for war?"

Fortunately, the male protagonist Ikoma is not a cunning person. He has heard that Li Mo has produced weapons that can kill Kabane, so he did not think that the other party wanted to increase the power of the steam gun to deal with ordinary people, and could not help but ask in a low voice.

"In the near future, Xianjinyi is preparing to clean up the surrounding Kabane, and even intends to recapture the original port and salt field of Xianjinyi. A large number of wall components are needed, but the key is weapons and equipment. New weapons cannot be equipped in batches due to the limitation of ammunition raw materials. That's why I want to increase the lethality of the steam gun..."

Li Mo did not hide his intentions from Ikoma, the male protagonist, as he told the other party the truth anyway, anyone with a keen eye could infer the limitations of the new weapons and equipment based on the information they collected. Naturally, he told the other party the truth.

"…Sir, in that case, I do have an idea!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, the male protagonist Ikoma was surprised. He had never thought that those people who were afraid of Kabane and dared not face it would actually take the initiative to attack and clean up Kabane. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

In a sense, the male protagonist Ikoma's thinking is relatively simple and direct. He thinks that Li Mo is a truly capable person, unlike those guys who rely on their noble birth or force to exploit civilians. Now that he has new weapons and equipment, he is still looking for breakthroughs in steam guns in the face of Kabane. He thinks that the [Jet Bullet] he envisioned to enhance the power of the steam gun will be helpful to this very kind adult, at least it can be used to deal with those damn Kabane.

Li Mo guessed what the male protagonist Ikoma was thinking. Instead of pointing it out, he nodded and asked him to lead the way. Then, Ikoma took out the [Jet Bomb] he made, and conducted an actual test on the test field on the side!

……

"Very good. If the steam gun is used in conjunction with the [Jet Bullet], it will have the power to kill Kabane at least at a distance of 100 meters. It's a very good invention~!"

Later, Li Mo saw the power of the [Jet Bullet] invented by Ikoma at the test site next to the steam factory. He smiled and gave it a high evaluation. Then he waved his hand and made arrangements for Ikoma: "Ikoma, from now on, you will be the leader of the special [Jet Bullet] manufacturing team. In addition, I beg the city lord to reward you. At least the city lord will never forget your contribution!"

"Ah? Ok, ok..."

After hearing what Li Mo said, the male protagonist Ikoma was still a little uncomfortable. He didn't know why he was going to be promoted and rich all of a sudden. However, the factory managers and warriors around Li Mo looked at the male protagonist Ikoma with envy.

They all knew that Ikoma was going to be rich. Even the samurai and factory managers had a rough idea of ​​what the steam gun that could kill Kabane meant to Xianjinyi. Moreover, there was the very conspicuous example of Li Mo. He went from being a shipwreck victim a month ago to the acting general manager of the steam factory in Xianjinyi. The city lord even rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and a house.

Even though it is impossible for Ikoma to receive so many rewards, according to the example of Li Mo, the head of the Shigaogawa family is unlikely to be stingy in this regard. Otherwise, who would be willing to contribute to the Shigaogawa family?

The head of the Sifangchuan family reacted quickly. When he heard about Li Mo's discovery in the steam smelting plant, he quickly came to the trial field and saw a dozen steam guns firing, piercing a thin steel plate twenty meters away. Comparing the weak power of the steam guns with old-style ammunition, he immediately understood the importance of this [jet bullet] and generously rewarded Ikoma with 100 taels of gold and a new house.

As for the male protagonist's future after he has a pup, Li Mo's arrangement for him is to become an excellent weapons development engineer. For example, the job of a front-line fighter who outputs damage by shouting will not need this green-haired male protagonist to participate!

Chapter 23: Hope of Victory (New book, please ask for it~!)

“Puff———————”

Ten days later, outside the city wall of Xianjinyi, hundreds of warriors, led by Li Mo, used steam guns to beat the dozen oncoming Kabane into sieves. Those roaring Kabane fell to the ground before they got within thirty meters.

If you look closely, there are more than a hundred corpses of Kabane, spreading all the way from 600 meters away to a distance of 30 meters. The long-distance killing of 400 to 600 meters was all done by Li Mo. When it comes to 400 to 100 meters, there are the results of the samurai who are equipped with Type 38 rifles and have a talent for shooting. Although they can't kill one kid with one shot like Li Mo, they also performed very well.

Although the Type 38 rifle is considered to have little lethality in those so-called anti-Japanese war films and TV dramas, in fact the full-power rifle bullet is absolutely powerful. In addition, due to its small caliber and relatively low recoil, the warriors selected by Xianjinyi quickly mastered the Type 38 rifle in just a few days, and then the ten warriors created more than thirty kills.

Compared with Li Mo's super-god record of killing more than fifty Kabane in this battle, the record of ten samurai holding Type 38 rifles may seem not high, but compared with the previous loss of more than a dozen samurai to barely kill a few Kabane, this is already an amazing result.

Even the samurai holding the steam gun and jet bullet, when he found out that he could really kill the Kabane, his originally uneasy mood was cheered up. What's more, there was Li Mo and the samurai holding the Type 38 rifle as role models. When they saw the originally cruel and invincible Kabane falling under their guns one after another, the excitement of defeating a strong enemy made them more excited. When the last Kabane fell, these samurai cheered.

Li Mo waited patiently for the warriors he led to vent their joy of victory before letting them go forward to take out the Kabane's heart cores, especially shooting those Kabane who were not yet dead. Only then did he return to Xianjin Station with the spoils!

……

Xianjin Station, the castle tower of the Shihogawa family

Although the castle tower did not play a big role in the era of firearms, as one of the symbols of the Neon Daimyo, Kenkin Station still built this castle tower. The head of the Shifangchuan family lived in it on a daily basis and occasionally summoned his retainers or subordinates. This castle tower was also considered the most core area of ​​Kenkin Station.
