Chapter 145 Weapons
In a corner of the arsenal of the Azure Cathedral, a small construction site has been built.
The support of the teleportation array has just been removed, revealing the original appearance of the built space equipment. The transport-type teleportation array is a circular platform with a height of 30 cm and a diameter of 7 meters. The surface and interior of the platform are burned and filled into the space magic array. The edge of the platform and the ground of the arsenal have been built with a slope of 15° to facilitate the transportation of goods.
Close to the wall of the transmission array, there is an energy conversion furnace. The crystal with magic energy is filled into the conversion furnace, and the magic energy that can be generated drives the entire portal to operate. In addition to the energy conversion furnace, there are three booms around the transmission array, which are used for loading and unloading large heavy objects that are not easy to carry.
The entire teleportation array is protected inside by a layer of isolation barriers, blocking the propagation of sound, mirroring light, and refraction has achieved invisible purpose.
During the entire teleportation array construction, the church knights of the Azure Cathedral entered and exited the arsenal many times every day. Especially after Father Titus and Councillor George determined the plan to transfer these weapons, the Cathedral gradually returned the borrowed weapons.
But no one found the teleportation array for busy construction.
There are only one barrier, on one side is the sound of ding Dingdang engraving magic circuits, and the magic shines; on the other side is a darkness, and the quiet is the sound of the church knights carrying and organizing weapons.
Everyone is at peace...
When the teleportation array was completed under the auspices of the night, Daliang couldn't wait to come to this arsenal.
Just like Juliet described a few days ago, there are so many weapons here that are dazzling.
Daliang walked to a hill of wooden boxes, then pointed to one of the wooden boxes and said to Sophia, "Open this."
The wooden box is nailed to death by iron nails, and it can only be opened with a crowbar.
But Sophia walked to Daliang and pointed to the wooden box, easily opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a rifle embedded in the groove inside.
This is a manual rifle that is similar to the World War I. During World War II, it is a rifle that needs to manually complete the operation of sending bullets into the gun chamber and exiting the used shell from the gun chamber. When you shoot a gun and pull the bolt, the shooting speed is slow, but the range and power are greater than that of ordinary automatic rifles.
These rifles are the 548-type infantry guns provided by the Holy See for the Marcels Parliament. Among the chambers and bolts, there is a set of Vaticans designed supercharger techniques for the halberd rifles, which can provide additional chamber pressure for the next shot by reclaiming shooting energy. It can make the bullets shoot farther and the ballistics are straighter.
The Battle Rifle is an infantry weapon currently in service in the Holy See. The basic model can be used by ordinary soldiers without magic. Some derivative models have been adjusted to the gun body and added corresponding techniques, combined with special alchemy bullets, and have special uses.
For example, the Battle Halberd sniper rifle, Battle Halberd cavalry rifle, Battle Halberd aerial fighting gun, and the team's direct blasting gun...
The Council bought this batch of weapons to equip a complete infantry division, so the basic models and derivative models of the Battle Halberd rifle can be found here.
Daliang asked Sophia to open several wooden boxes, which contained light machine guns, heavy machine guns and mortar parts, as well as various bullets and shells.
Hundreds of artillery of different caliber sizes can be disassembled and transported by soldiers, and some must use animal power and special vehicles to pull heavy artillery.
In addition to these, there are battle fortresses and silver wings purchased by the Parliament from the Holy See.
The function of the battle fortress is similar to that of the tanks on earth. However, the battle fortress uses a steam engine, and then uses the air pressure generated by the steam engine to drive the mechanical feet to carry the combat module to walk. The speed of the battle fortress is of course not as fast as that of the tank, but the combat fortress’s ability to respond to the terrain is far higher than that of the tank.
As long as the driver is skilled, the battle fortress can move on mountains with not very slopes, so there is no need to worry about slipping in the snow.
In terms of maneuver, the steering of the battle fortresses is also more flexible. They can be moved horizontally at any time when they advance to avoid attacks from the front.
The multi-foot mechanical legs can raise the height of the turret, and the mechanical legs can be expanded to press the turret very low, making it easier for the battle fortress to hide behind the cover, and then lie down and avoid loading after firing one shot.
When the battle fortress is fully unfolded and fixed to the ground with mechanical legs, the most powerful "bombing" technique can be used to act as a heavy artillery to remove the enemy's strong fortifications at a fixed point.
However, in Daliang's eyes... the defect of the battle fortress is also very fatal, the first is its defense. The way it moves determines that its mechanical legs cannot bear too high loads, so the armor of the battle fortress is relatively thin.
The flexibility is indeed exaggerated, but it's basically done if you get a shot.
Tanks are heavy armored combat vehicles, and the moving wheel tracks can move their movements so that they can cover all sides of the armor. Although the flexibility of the tank is lower than that of the combat fortress, it is nothing to do if you just set the angle and get a few shells.
Why there are no tanks in this world? Daliang speculated that the piston engine technology should be immature. The mainstream engine is an air-pressure tie rod engine, which uses the enhancement and reduction of air-pressure to achieve power transmission, limiting the further miniaturization of the engine.
Therefore, all the miniaturized motorcycles Daliang saw were magic power, and the cost was high and it was impossible to popularize civilians.
Daliang believes that studying piston engines, or other more powerful engines, is a new direction for overtaking on weapons to achieve curves. At the same time, powerful and cheap engines can drive the speed of world logistics, thereby promoting the acceleration of civilization process.
As long as the power can keep up, the tank can be made larger, the armor is thicker, and the speed runs faster. Once the tank forms a rapid penetration ability across the war zone, it can become the protagonist of the ground battlefield. As for the battle fortress, the legs cannot run through the wheels, and low defense and high agility can only become a very good infantry support weapon.
Daliang believes that once heavy tanks are studied, they will definitely change the world's war model.
After watching the battle fortress, Daliang turned his attention to Silver Wings.
For completely unfamiliar weapons, Daliang could not find anything that could compare horizontally with the Silver Wing. The aerial power provided by the Silver Wing is equivalent to adding a pair of wings to the driver. In addition to the advantages and disadvantages of the body's performance, the driver's magician level is also an important part of evaluating the combat effectiveness of a Silver Wing.
The main weapon of Silver Wing is the aerial fighting rifle used by the driver, and its range and power far exceed the basic model. At the same time, Silver Wing can also activate the bombing warlock of the fighting rifle to complete the combat mission against the ground. Since the driver of Silver Wing is generally a high-level magician, Silver Wing also has very strong magic defense capabilities.
Piston-style combat basically does not have the strength to fight against Silver Wings.
In addition to flying fast, jet fighters also have no good way to use Silver Wings without missiles.
In addition, the current silver wings still have great potential to be tapped, so Daliang decided to give priority to the development of his own silver wings. After the piston engine technology is mature, he is considering studying other aircraft.
