Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 630: The art of guns!
Falitis Royal Colony, Thomastown.
The Glory Church.
Although the name of this church sounds majestic, it is a very small church. It was the first church belonging to the “Goddess of Kingship and Sailing” established by the pioneers who landed in Thomastown for the first time in the kingdom.
The main body of the church that combines the “Dark Thousand Years” style and the Gothic style is rectangular, with a ten-meter long minaret that is less than 20 meters high at the highest point.
With a sloping roof, small windows, and gable walls covered with sea shells, if it weren’t for the shape of a church, it would be almost the same as an ordinary house.
A red glow gradually appeared on the horizon in the evening.
A silver-haired old man wearing a simple black robes is sitting on a stone at the entrance of the church holding a small rattan basket, smiling and looking at the seven or eight children in front of him. After the cookies I gave out, I happily jumped and sang.
Children full of innocence sing hymns of the goddess, praising his gifts without any impurities.
Suddenly.
“Ah!”
One of them, a little girl who was only five or six years old, accidentally dropped her biscuit on the ground. After the scream, the eye circles immediately turned red, and the crystal tears had begun to swirl in the eyes.
The old man did not blame her, but bent down and picked up the biscuits that fell on the ground and blew them into his mouth, gently comforting the little girl:
“It’s okay. When the food falls on the ground, you can eat it within three seconds and pick it up. Come on, Liz, Grandpa will give you a bigger piece.”
The little girl burst into tears and smiled immediately, and took another biscuit from the basket, thanking her sweetly:
“Thank you, Grandpa Ralph!”
A group of children played here for a while, until the sky got dark, they thanked the old man again and left together.
At this time.
The old man who watched them leave with a smile, but instead of returning to the church, he slowly turned and looked behind him.
Bah!哐!哐! …
There, a group of “Iron Wall Knights”, dressed in heavy armor like human-shaped armored vehicles, came slowly from the other side of the church, and they had already stationed in ceremonies a long distance away.
“Your Excellency Ralph, the goddess is with you.”
The old man simply returned a gift and waved at them. Even with a third-order knight in the lead, he was casual, and it was no different from the kids just now:
“Children, stay here first. You don’t need to tell me what you want to do. Ralph is just an old man who has retired and is waiting to return to the kingdom of the goddess.”
Boom!
Ambrus beats his chest with a fist, the iron glove hits the steel armor with a muffled noise, and bows his head respectfully:
“Yes, we will not disturb your peace for too long. Regardless of whether this task can be completed or not, there will be a result within three months to six months.”
……
Georgia collar.
On the east side of the Cumberland Mountains, Vulcan Metal Company’s field shooting range.
“200m target!”
Jonson, the commander of Irvine’s new Extraordinary Unit [The Gunners], was holding a brand-new and peculiar rifle in his hand. He didn’t even use the attached sight and pulled the trigger casually.
Bang——
A line of fire flew out, and a small hole appeared in the center of the target paper.
[The Gunner] can acquire the core abilities [Gun Sense] and [Key Insight] at the first level, keenly perceive the enemy’s vitals, and give a fatal blow.
Accurate shooting is just a piece of cake.
It’s normal to get here, but what happened next made Anthony and Dillis watching from the sidelines, gradually turning from shock to numbness.
“300 meters, 10 rings.”
“500 meters, 10 rings.”
“…..”
“900 meters…10 rings!”
Jonson, in a military uniform, completed the shooting demonstration at a rate of one shot in 20 seconds, collected the new rifle distributed to him, walked to the side of Aiwen, and stood up and saluted:
“Report to the sir, the task is completed, please give instructions.”
“Very well, let’s go back to the team.”
Ivan turned his head, looked at Anthony and Dilis, who were a little dazed, and asked with a smile:
“Two people, how about our Georgia rifle?”
Hearing what Ivan said, the two people gradually recovered.
“I knew for a long time that you are an indisputable genius! Mass production of sniper rifles is incredible.”
Anthony’s face is a bit complicated. When I first met Ivan five years ago, he was only a beginner’s threshold, but now he is a veritable high-ranking wizard and marquis, and even a Tier 4 transcendent. He was cut off in the “War of Rebellion”.
An endless stream of weapons of war have been invented by him in the past few years, and it is obvious that they will profoundly change the way of fighting in the future.
Before.
Anthony, who was born in a large aristocratic family, knew very well that if he was alienated and respectful after meeting with Aiwen, he was really alienated from him. Take a normal attitude to deal with it, and it will be better to grasp the effect of proportion.
But after witnessing the infinite wisdom of the other side with my own eyes, I can’t help but switch to honorifics again. Slaughter the city, destroying the country, and slashing the fourth-order is too far away from him, only what he saw with his own eyes is really relevant to him.
“Hahaha, the cost of Georgia muskets is actually not low.”
Under the guidance of Aiwen, the Arsenal successfully developed the first excellent rifle exclusively owned by the “Vulcan Metal Company”. According to Kentucky’s naming rules, since it was born in Georgia, Ivan named it “Georgia Rifle”.
Revolutionary use of flash hider to activate, eliminated flint with an activation rate of only about 70%.
Hg(CNO)2, the firing drug, is the main component of flashers and detonators. It is highly sensitive to flames, needle sticks and impacts, and is also an indispensable help for rock-breaking.
This “Georgia rifle” is the first real sniper rifle in the mundane world. Its design has gone beyond the scope of the original high-precision rifles such as the Kentucky rifle. It is specifically designed to accurately hit long-range targets. The pinnacle of work.
The most special point is that although this type of rifle is a rifled gun, there is no conventional rifling inside the barrel, but a strange hexagonal bore.
Considering the ease and accuracy of processing, the hexagonal-bore firearm can achieve a good balance in all aspects.
It’s just that the current rifle is still a single-shot rifle loaded with a front chamber. The length of the gun is 1200 mm, the barrel is 840 mm, it uses .45 bullets hexagonal bullets, the rate of fire is 2–3 rounds, and the effective range is 730 to 910. Meters, the maximum range is 1200 meters.
It is very close to the effective range of the alchemy musket.
And the Kenta baseline musket used by sharpshooters of this age has an effective range of only about 300 meters.
Moreover, after making a reliable flash hider, Ivan was only one step away from the fixed reload. As long as the air-tightness problem of the locking structure of the reclining gun can be solved, the real modern rifle will already beckon to him.
However.
Even if all the technical problems can be solved, Ivan is not ready to make this thing and use it on the battlefield, at least not before the “truth is concrete”.
Because this stuff is like a steam engine that has profoundly changed the world, no, it is more powerful than a steam engine.
It is enough to completely subvert the ruling order of the countries in the mainland, sweeping more than 99% of Tier 2 transcendents into the garbage dump of history, even Tier 3 knights will no longer be able to squint and look at ordinary people. The soldiers are like weeds.
Even if you don’t need too much, you have to kneel as long as you are blocked by a few hundred soldiers and set the fire.
This is not just a question of not talking about martial ethics, it is simply a total foul.
This kind of thing that is hostile to the whole world, as long as the brain is normal, will not be able to do it, that is, the “goddess of kingship and sailing” who regards herself as a saint will also be the first to slap and take his own life. .
Because its meaning is similar to handing a knife to the bourgeois…
Ivan has even used existing technology to produce two revolver pistols that use large-caliber black powder to be loaded with paper shells. But this kind of thing is just a toy for him now.
In addition.
Since this rifle can be produced, of course, the low-end trade rifle after the simplified configuration is not to mention it, and it has been fully self-sufficient.
“Vulcan’s weapons and equipment are not that simple. The following is the real finale.”
Ivan gestured.
The tarp on the other side was violently pulled apart by the soldiers, revealing a strangely shaped multi-track artillery.
It does not have a barrel in the conventional sense, but has a total of 8 launching rails, and 16 132 mm cone-shaped bombs with stabilized wings are mounted on the top and bottom.
“Is this some kind of artillery?”
As the official wizard of “Alchemy Tools and Enchanting Project”, Anthony is also the most interested in this new weapon, but there is no trace of alchemy processing on it.
After Ivan streamlined the alchemy equation for the high-energy explosive “Black Sodium”, even apprentices can prepare them in large quantities if they are prepared, so Ivan has a lot of stock in his hands.
This time.
Looking for a way that can use the easiest way and the fastest speed to pour the largest equivalent of RDX on the top of the target’s head was entered into Ivan’s plan.
So, with a simple structure and low cost, the “rocket launcher” known as the “firepower to the countryside” technology for poverty alleviation naturally came into his sight.
“8 kilometers directly in front of the target, target No. 1, launch!”
Ivan waved his hand vigorously.
The artillery were ordered to ignite the rockets.
In an instant, the orange-red flames joined together, almost re-illuminating the fading sky in the evening, and the rockets rose into the air like a spear thrown by the **** of fire.
Shoo! call out! call out! call out! ….
After a minute and a half.
Boom–! ! !
With successive loud horror noises, heavy smoke and dust rushed into the sky, and a small mountain in the distance was already wiped out in a monstrous flame.
Even Irwin and the others could feel a strong vibration.
The rocket has a muzzle velocity of 80 meters per second~IndoMTL.com~ The weight of the rocket is 42.5 kg, the maximum range is 8.5 kilometers, and a salvo takes only 7-10 seconds. This is a veritable artillery scrubber. It can also be said to be [Pai Daxing’s Ultimate Curtain Call 2.0], but Ivan renamed it [Black Sokin’s Iron Fist of Justice]!
Walking to the two people who have gone from numbness to dullness, Ivan’s voice, Gujing Wubo:
“In the future battlefield, we must vent steel and flames, not soldiers.
We are going to leave countless craters on the enemy’s position, the density that allows people to jump from one crater to another, I’m serious on this point.
In other words, it can also be called “oversaturation bombing”. It is a great art of changing geography with artillery fire!
Sufficient logistical support plus firepower coverage that doesn’t talk about martial ethics, nothing more is a word, blow Laozi! This is my Shindo… ahem, tactical concept! “
In fact, when the war really develops to this point, the artistry of the past thousands of years has been completely lost, and it has been reduced to a frontal confrontation of comprehensive national strength between the two countries.
Coming to the age when the cannon is blasted and the gold is ten thousand taels, the war is fought with money.
