"Dean, we've been studying it for a long time, but we still have no idea."
Alkinnon frowned and felt helpless.
Zhang Feng patted Alkinnon's shoulder and encouraged him. "Don't be discouraged. Have you thought of changing the shape of the steel balls?"
He decided to teach them the theory behind the bullets and let them slowly figure it out.
"Change the shape?"
Alkinnon's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent. "Dean, what kind of change do you mean?"
The dean's words had opened up a wedge in his heart. However, he only had a vague idea, so he decided to ask for clarification.
"Think about it. How did a spear stab an enemy? Isn't it because of the sharp tip? If we make the steel balls like a spear and make them sharp, wouldn't the effect be different? "
Zhang Feng's gaze swept over the crowd as he tried to entice them.
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and pondered deeply, their brows tightly knit together.
After a while, Alkinnon seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly said, "Dean, your suggestion is good. The sharp tip is much more lethal than the steel balls. Once it's shot, it can easily pierce through armor."
Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction. "You're right. However, this won't do. We have to increase the size of the barrel. Once the sharp tip bullet is made, it will definitely be longer than the steel balls. Also, gunpowder will need to be added to the bullet and a cap at the base. Only then will it be able to unleash its full power."
He knew that Alkinnon was a talent in this field. No matter what he said, Alkinnon would be able to react immediately.
"Dean, I know what gunpowder is, but what is a cap?"
Alkinnon looked at Zhang Feng with confusion.
The others were also confused. They were helpless. Zhang Feng's words were too advanced. It was normal that they didn't understand.
"Give me a pen and paper. I'll explain it to you as I draw."
Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said to everyone.
As his voice fell, one of the men standing outside immediately ran out. After a while, he ran back in with a pen and paper in his hand. He handed the pen and paper to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng took it and leaned on the table. He glanced at everyone and said as he drew, "Look, this is the pointed bullet we talked about just now. It is made up of the shell, primer, propellant, and warhead. The shell is the outer layer of metal. It can be made of iron or steel, but it must be made into a cylinder. Look at the warhead, this is the tip of the entire bullet and needs to be made into a sharp point. The propellant, this is the gunpowder, needs to be filled in the shell. Finally, there is the primer, which is also the most important. It needs to be installed at the end of the entire bullet, which is also the cylinder, wrapping the entire back of the bullet."
After saying that, the blueprint for the bullet was completed. Zhang Feng took the blueprint and handed it to Arkinnon. "Take a look. Can you make this bullet?"
This was just an overview of the bullet, so it was relatively simple. A talent like Arkinnon could understand it with just a few glances.
As Zhang Feng expected, Arkinnon took the blueprint and looked at it carefully for a while. Finally, he said seriously, "This bullet can be made, but the trajectory of the gun needs to be changed."
"Okay."
Zhang Feng nodded and rested his chin on his right hand. "This is not a problem. Changing the trajectory will only increase the power of the gun. Take some time to study it."
When he thought of this bullet, he already knew that the trajectory might need to be changed. The trajectory changed with the bullet, or in other words, the trajectory needed to adapt to the bullet.
For modern bullets like this, the trajectory needed to be slender and flexible. Otherwise, the trajectory would be destroyed in a short period of time.
"Okay, Dean."
Arkinnon agreed and began to study the drawing again.
At this time, Zhang Feng seemed to have thought of something. He said to Arkinnon, "Oh right, Arkinnon, didn't you ask me to come here to look at the gun?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my brain, I almost forgot."
Arkinnon patted his head, a little embarrassed.
Zhang Feng didn't blame him, because he knew that for a freak like Arkinnon who only cared about research, if something suddenly attracted him, he would quickly fall into it. Just like when they were talking about the bullet, everyone was so excited that they naturally forgot about the gun. Even Zhang Feng himself had forgotten about it until now.
"Here, Dean. This is the improved gun."
Arkinnon took the gun from the table next to him and handed it to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng looked at the gun in Arkinnon's hand with a strange expression. It was not for any other reason, but because this gun was very different from the previous one. Not only was the barrel much longer, at least ten centimeters, but the body was also slender.
He asked with some confusion, "Arkinnon, why does this gun look different from the previous one?"
"Dean, this is our newly improved gun. It has been lengthened by ten centimeters and the body has become slender. However, the most important thing is that the accuracy of this gun has increased a lot. Even if you haven't used it before, you won't miss too much."
