The gun was still the most important weapon in the Wasteland. It was also the most important tool of production and the most important asset.
Just like how the bow had been phased out, with the development of the era, the gun would inevitably be phased out as well. However, it was a very long process for humans to phased out the bow.
When the first matchlock gun was introduced, the position of the bow was shaken. However, when the flintlock gun was introduced, the trend of the bow being phased out was obvious. When the breech-loading gun was introduced, the bow was basically phased out, but this phased out took at least a few hundred years.
Phased out didn't mean that it would disappear immediately. When the Maxim machine gun was introduced, there were still people using the bow in battle, but everyone knew what happened to those who used the bow.
However, the bow still existed to this day. Whether it was used as a sports equipment or a weapon, the bow was still used by people. What did this mean? It meant that the phased out was a process and took time, but the phased out things weren't completely useless.
There would still be individual weapons, and there would always be. Since the gun was destined to be phased out, what kind of weapon would replace the gun?
First of all, the weapon that replaced the gun wasn't an ability user, because an ability user was also a weapon user, not the weapon itself. Therefore, an ability user and a weapon were two different concepts. An ability user and a gun both belonged to the category of weapons, but the weapon that replaced the gun wasn't a rare ability user, but a weapon that could be mass-produced and matured.
From the looks of it, the weapon that replaced the gun was an electromagnetic weapon. According to inertia, the electromagnetic weapon used by individual soldiers could be called an electromagnetic gun, but an electromagnetic gun was an energy weapon, not a kinetic weapon that fired projectiles. Therefore, this wasn't a modification of the weapon, but a complete change.
There were already electromagnetic weapons that could be used by individual soldiers. Although Morning Dawn City didn't have them yet, many large cities were already equipped with them. The advantage of electromagnetic weapons over guns was like the advantage of automatic rifles in the archery era. It was an all-around advantage, unlike the matchlock gun over the bow.
Therefore, the phased out of the gun was inevitable in history, but this could take hundreds of years. Speaking of which, even if it was destined to be phased out, it wouldn't affect the importance of the gun at all, because these were two completely different concepts.
Especially in the Wasteland, as long as the Wastelanders didn't and couldn't use electromagnetic guns, then guns that used gunpowder to drive bullets would always be the Wastelanders' most important weapon.
Also, whether it was in the city or the Wasteland, a good gun would always be a symbol of status and identity.
Therefore, Gao Qi lifted his clothes and revealed the shiny pistol at his waist.
He quickly pulled out the shiny 1911 pistol with mammoth ivory patches and a stainless steel body from the holster.
"Wow! A Screwdriver, your gun is so beautiful! "
Lao Meng exclaimed in admiration. He looked at the pistol on Gao Qi's waist and said in an envious tone, "Where did you get it? I want one too."
"Hey, watch your words. Can you afford this gun? This is a gift from Fei Ge to Chief Gao. How much money do you have? Tsk, no matter how much money you have, you have to be able to buy it. "
He Jun took a step forward and said in high spirits, "I'll take you into the city today. Let's go."
Lao Meng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes shone with a strange light. He said, "Chief Gao?"
"Fei Ge is no longer in the Special Ability Group. Now Boss Han is the leader of the two Special Ability Group. The deputy leader of the second group is A Screwdriver. You'll be working under Chief Gao from now on."
He Jun didn't seem to have any complaints. He was still in high spirits and arrogant, as if it didn't matter that Huang Fei recommended Gao Qi to be the deputy leader and not him when he left the Special Ability Group.
When Lao Meng looked at Gao Qi again, he was extremely surprised, but he quickly lowered his head and said, "Chief Gao."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Don't listen to Brother Jun's nonsense. It's just temporary. Besides, I'm just a deputy leader. There are a lot of things to do today. Brother Meng, can you leave now?"
Lao Meng hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, I'll go back and pack my things. I'll be ready soon."
He Jun said impatiently, "What's there to pack? What's there to pack? There's nothing in the city. Let's go."
Lao Meng hesitated for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Yes, there's nothing in the city. There's no need to pack!"
Gao Qi said, "If there's anything important, just pack it. It's okay, it's not a big deal."
Lao Meng shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just some junk. Leave it to others. Chief Gao, let's go."
Gao Qi nodded and said in a low voice, "You know that I'm injured, and there are a lot of things to do these days, so I'm delayed. I'm sorry, Brother Meng. Brother Fei wanted to come in person, but he has too many things to do in the new department, so he asked me to do it."
Lao Meng shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was worried about your injury. It's great that you're fine."
He Jun waved his hand and said to Lao Meng, "You take the car in the back. Let's go."
After waiting for them to get in the car, He Jun smiled at Gao Qi and said, "A Screwdriver, you don't have to be so polite to Lao Meng. The desolate people are all like that. If you're too polite to them, they'll take advantage of you."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "After all, we've been through life and death together. Brother Jun, let's go to the Seventh Farm."
He Jun drove, and Gao Qi sat in the car. Behind them was a small truck. The truck was empty, so they had to go to the Seventh Farm to get their things.
In fact, it had only been a few days since they left the Seventh Farm, but after coming back, not only did Gao Qi not feel happy, but he also felt deeply guilty.
When they arrived at the Seventh Farm, Gao Qi didn't show off his new gun. He just asked people to move the bullets and guns, and he invited Wang Zihao to his dorm room.
"Wang Chang, I asked people to ask the higher-ups. The city won't send any new pioneers out of the city in a short period of time. That means …"
It was hard to say, but Gao Qi finally said helplessly, "There won't be any new people coming to the Seventh Farm for the time being."
If Gao Qi left, there would only be three people left in the Seventh Farm. How would the three of them survive?
Wang Zihao was stunned for a while, then he nodded and said, "Okay, I got it."
"I want to take away ten thousand bullets and ten guns. These are the conditions that the ability users Group Leader Huang agreed to. I'll borrow some from here first."
Wang Zihao said indifferently, "You're the captain of the guards. The weapons and ammunition are your responsibility. You can make the decision, no need to inform me."
In name, he was still the captain of the guards of the Seventh Farm. If he wanted to take away a batch of guns and ammunition, Gao Qi could totally make the decision. At most, he would just have to report the losses.
But Gao Qi didn't want to take the things and leave just like that. He stopped Wang Zihao, who was about to get up, and said in a low voice, "Group Leader Huang said that he wants me to bring the ability users to the Seventh Farm to show off, to let the desolate people know that even if the Seventh Farm doesn't have a lot of people, it's still not something they can mess with!"
Wang Zihao was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Group Leader Wang, I've also been to the Seventh Farm. I can't just leave like that. There's no need to keep the village that attacked us. I'll bring people to sweep the nearby villages. Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be warned will be warned. In the future, the Seventh Farm won't be so many people thinking about it."
Wang Zihao was stunned for a while, then finally said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Gao Qi sighed and said, "The management department probably won't remove my position in the Pioneer Group. I'm still the captain of the guards of the Seventh Farm. Wang Chang, we're all family. There's no need to be so polite."
