Isekai Online Game Developer - Chapter 79
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
“Hmm… I don’t think it’s liquid.”
Alken looked at the boiling pot and thought.
It’s been several months since the gun was made.
The trick was to create a bullet that would explode.
And since it explodes when the trigger is pulled, it seems that the explosion is caused by a physical impact to a local area.
Ultimately, if we could create a substance that would cause an explosion inside the bullet, we could say that we had found the solution.
The problem is that we have no idea what that substance is.
“It’s not a liquid, and it’s containing gas… That doesn’t make sense without magic. Then it would have to be a solid.”
The more I researched, the more I began to think that it might be impossible.
But every time that happened, Alken thought back to Riot’s interview.
– In my opinion, this game is more realistic than reality. The world of ‘Hidden Attack’ is not magical. It is harsh reality.
It was clearly stated that magic was not used.
This means that it can be made without any magic.
“But Riot just created a fantasy, how do we know if guns will work in reality or not?”
If you think about it differently, Riot is a fantasy wizard anyway.
But how does he know whether the gun can be made in reality or not?
Alken shook his head and began to pray again.
Even though everyone left, I somehow felt like things would work out.
There was such a powerful feeling.
I wanted to show my pride as an alchemist.
“If it’s neither a gas nor a liquid, then it’s a solid. And… a powder would be the most useful. That would increase the cross-sectional area and probably create a bigger explosion.”
The idea comes from the idea that fires catch fire better in dry, dusty environments.
The finer the particle, the better it transmits fire.
It was an intuition resulting from the long alchemy of alkenes.
In modern times, this could be called science, but alkenes were only getting closer to the correct answer through experience.
Then one day.
“Not this combination either… um…”
While researching various combinations.
Alkenes were also pulverizing substances made from new combinations.
Next to him, a pot containing all sorts of things was bubbling away.
“Will it work this time…?”
Alken, sighing and taking out some powder.
There have been several substances that have been known to catch fire or cause small explosions.
But that happens to any substance.
The explosive power was not strong enough to implement a gun.
It was the same even if they were concentrated in small bullets.
So that’s the 79th attempt.
He wrote down the recipe in his notebook and headed out.
The experiment should be done outdoors so that there is no damage in case of an explosion.
however,
“Uh, uh… uh… hmph…”
Alken suddenly feels like sneezing.
“Phuengchu!”
With his sneeze, powder scatters everywhere.
At the same time,
Phew-!
Alken’s house exploded with a loud noise.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaah-!”
Fortunately, I was wearing a robe with protective magic that I had bought a long time ago at a great price, so I wasn’t seriously hurt.
It was a necessity for alchemists.
There was a ringing in one ear, but that didn’t matter.
“Okay, okay… okay!!!”
He succeeded in making ‘gunpowder’.
“It worked, but…”
But in return, everything, including his house, was destroyed.
“You’re done.”
It was okay once it was successful.
A moment later, Alken collected the fantasy game artifacts from the burned down house.
As long as there was a mix of materials and a game, nothing else really mattered.
Because I didn’t have much to begin with.
Instead, Alken headed to the home of a fellow alchemist with whom he often played games.
I planned to stay at his house for a few days to finish the materials and build the gun.
“But what do you do with it?”
Alken, lost in thought before leaving.
It is against international law to sell weapons indiscriminately, let alone kill people.
“Let’s think about that later.”
Thinking about it now, it was a headache.
Whatever it was, it was clear that being an alchemist would be a promising career in the future.
Alken, who felt better just by that, headed to Lulu Lala’s friend’s house.
But Alken’s worries and happiness did not last long.
“Is the alchemist who caused the explosion near the forest of Poho here?”
After a while, the Frankish army came to the house of his friend where Alken was staying.
“yes yes?”
“Here you are. You should follow me.”
“Huh?”
And Alken was taken away by the royal army.
The course of events was simple.
Residents reported the explosion to the police, but no one was there.
Because Alken had been telling the whole town that he was going to make guns, the police were able to get information that he was an alchemist trying to make guns.
And after a little more investigation, we found Alken’s whereabouts.
“Are you the alchemist who created that gun?”
And surprisingly, it was the king who ordered him to be brought to the palace himself.
The king is also a user of ‘Hidden Attack’.
He liked to relieve the stress of being under the Empire by playing intense games.
Besides, the king of the Frankish kingdom had slightly different ideas.
If I actually owned that ‘gun’ thing.
And if you create an army armed with guns.
If that’s the case, then it would be easy to subdue the knights who are wielding swords.
International law has made our lives better.
Still, the long-standing discontent among the kingdoms remained.
If most kings were given the chance to take over an empire, they would probably take it without hesitation.
“Yes, yes, that’s right.”
Alken answered with his head bowed and trembling.
A petit bourgeois like that will never even meet royalty.
He had to be scared without even knowing English.
“Raise your head.”
“That, that…”
“Raise your head.”
Alken raised his head from his prone position.

“Is it true that you made a gun?”
“Well, I wasn’t able to make a gun, but I was able to make the material that makes up the bullet.”
“Then that must be the reported explosion.”
The minister next to him nodded.
Even the royal family was secretly working on producing guns.
That is why news like Alkene could reach the king’s ears.
“Wow! A mere alchemist has done what even the scholars of the royal castle could not do. Alchemist, let me work in the royal castle.”
“Yes, yes, yes…?”
“I will not spare my support. Make guns. I will compensate you sufficiently.”
In this way, Alken suddenly became a royal scholar.
A big salary, a warm meal, and a place to sleep.
There was no reason to refuse.
Alken, who had been researching in Wangseong for several weeks.
He became accustomed to Wangseong to some extent and became quite friendly with some of the people there.
Before that, he was a commoner from the countryside who couldn’t say a word.
After I got to know a few people, I was able to have a conversation with Wangseong people.
Just a few weeks after that, Alkene asked a fellow scientist something he had been curious about.
“But Your Majesty, why do you want to make a gun? Are you a huge fan of ‘Hidden Attack’?”
“Huh… You’re a commoner, so you don’t know anything. Well, you’ll find out anyway. Of course, it’s for the ‘war’.”
“Excuse me, are you talking about war?”
“Yes. Can you kill a sniper with a dagger in ‘Hidden Attack’? Of course, if you have a gun, you can easily kill the knights of the Empire.”
“That means…”
“Your Majesty, I intend to repay you for what you have suffered so far. The ‘Hidden Attack’ has brought a breath of fresh air.”
“Wow, are you going to stay still in the Fantasy Tower?”
“In the first place, wizards aren’t interested in politics.”
Could it be that Riot didn’t anticipate something like this when they made the game?
Thinking about his interviews, I don’t think so.
And that night. No, the nights after that.
Alken began to have more and more sleepless nights.
When I think about it, it was obvious that war was going to happen.
Perhaps the order of the continent may change.
And if that happens, a lot of people will die.
Even though Alken had never experienced war, he could tell that much.
“Because of the gun I made…”
Many people die.
Z2dKbDJFSCtSbEo3WFlpUEN0eDQxVjA1dW42anp6SUdxL0UyNk16bFRieXZ6NlRZOVUrcTdFc2prcTBBT0tuRg
Because he made the gun.
I couldn’t stand the thought of that future.
“that…”
Alken, who had stayed up all night like that, made up his mind.
I just couldn’t stand it.
“Huh? Where are you going so early in the morning?”
Alken left the royal capital early in the morning.
“I need the materials. I need to get them urgently.”
“Well, it looks like you stayed up all night studying again.”
The guard let Alken go without much suspicion.
It was common for him, who was originally from a commoner background, to go back and forth to procure materials himself.
But this time, Alken left the royal road and ran further over the mountains.
Without anyone knowing.
I didn’t even use a carriage. I’m sure I would have been caught if I had done that.
He just wanted to be an ordinary citizen.
I do some alchemy and enjoy games the rest of the time.
He couldn’t stand the thought of so many people dying because of him.
He ran for several days and headed to Trinity.

“…So that’s why you came to see me.”
“Yes, that’s right, Riot. Wizards are completely neutral on such matters. And I think Riot, who created ‘Hidden Attack,’ had something in mind.”
After hearing Alken’s story, I leaned back in my chair.
It was expected that someone would make a gun.
In fact, even the royal family was enthusiastic about research.
However, in this world, basic science has hardly developed due to magic.
I expected it would take a very long time to make a gun without magic.
Of course, that’s true. The royal family doesn’t even know what guns are. (I don’t know the scientific principles either, so I can’t help you.)
It was probably purely a coincidence.
Alkenes were the ones who made gunpowder.
Perhaps they discovered it by accident, without even knowing what elements it was.
“hmm…”
Certainly, it would be a big deal for one kingdom to monopolize firearms first.
If we develop firearms underwater, there will be a pretty big war later on.
The only thing that can stand against it is the magic of the Imperial Family. However, their level is not as high as that of Trinity.
“War will happen, for sure. If it happens.”
I never expected that research on guns would proceed so quickly due to the coincidence of an entity called Alkene.
Of course, I don’t want war either.
Is it true that we really don’t know what human life is like?
But it’s not like I hadn’t thought about this situation.
“So, does the Frankish kingdom have guns?”
“That’s not it. It’s about making the gun body and bullets. And how to make the bullets come out powerfully just by pulling the trigger like in the ‘Hidden Attack’ gun… I know a lot.”
“Well, inside the bullet, there’s the bullet’s steel ball, gunpowder, and something called a primer. Oh, gunpowder is an explosive substance made of alkene, which I named it, and the primer is the part inside the bullet that creates a flame. I don’t know the details. When you hit the bullet, a small fire is ignited in the primer, which then moves to the gunpowder, causing a large explosion.”
When I said that, Alken made a face as if he had realized something.
“If we make that, it will be easy to make a gun.”
“Yes, yes. Then in the kingdom…”
“Yes, we could start a war.”
“I don’t want that. People dying because of me…”
“But there’s nothing we can do about it now. Someone will make it someday.”
“then…”
I thought about it for a moment and then said.
Alken was under a lot of psychological stress, as his limbs were withered and his bones and tendons were exposed.
If Einstein had known in his past life that so many people would die because of his achievements, would he have suffered this much?
Maybe they chose not to make it like an alkene.
But another fact is that humanity has advanced in many ways thanks to Einstein.
In the end, it all comes down to how you use it.
“Make it here. Gun. And organize the gunpowder too.”
“yes?”
“And let’s spread it to every country. So that every country can own guns.”
“Huh? What did you mean by what I said…”
Alken jumped at my answer and said:
But there was no answer other than this.
“Don’t worry. What you’re worried about won’t happen.”
After a while, a revolution began in the world.
