Chapter 362 Antiquities (2)
The war airship descended from the sky.
Among the snowflakes in the sky, through the large gas lamps set up on the hillsides around the valley, you can see that there is a huge flat ground in the middle of the valley. Under the light, the flat ground is dark and shines with the unique cold light of metal.
Qiao held her breath.
This is a flat land about three miles long and two miles wide!
Such a huge area is actually made of metal!
What is particularly amazing is that in this cold and frozen season, heavy snow falls continuously, and the snowflakes are still seven or eight feet away from this metal clearing, and are evaporated by a heat flow emitted from the ground. No snow can accumulate in this metal area.
On the hillsides around the valley, next to each giant gas lamp, a flat ground was built with cement, with a guardhouse on it.
A large group of soldiers wearing dark gray uniforms, winter coats, steel helmets, cashmere faces, holding guns and swords on their waists, standing in the snow like cedars.
Salian took the lead and jumped out of the pod door and landed straight from the air hundreds of feet above the ground.
Qiao and a large group of officers followed closely behind and jumped off the airship.
After a while, the war airship made a sharp roar, breaking through the clouds again, returning to the sky, disappearing.
In the valley, in the blizzard, a large group of imperial generals were wearing dark gray uniforms, and coats outside lined up in neat rows and greeted Sallyan.
Among these generals, Qiao saw many familiar figures - several grade directors of the first grade of the Military University, class teachers, and a group of tutors from the Comprehensive Command Department.
Qiao's class teacher, one-eyed Major General Oslong, and the first-year director of the Comprehensive Command Department, were also mixed in the crowd.
Seeing Joe suddenly next to Salian, a fierce light flashed in Oslong's one-eye. He took out his pocket watch with his backhand to look at the time, then looked at Joe and pointed to the pocket watch on his hand.
It's already 8:40 p.m. now!
It has been long since Qiao returned to the Military University to sell off the leave!
Qiao smiled at Oslong and spread his hands helplessly.
What can he say?
If that guy from Bavaria hadn't made trouble, he would have gone back to school to report for a fake report now!
Hey?
Not right!
Even if Bavaria does not make trouble, Salian insists on pulling Joe to the Lanyin Corridor to test new weapons. He is a small major? What can he do? Can he refuse Salian's order? It is obviously impossible!
Osron saw Joe's movement? He widened his one-eyed eyes hard.
But among the hundreds of generals present, there are more than twenty generals? Can there be forty or fifty lieutenant generals? On the contrary, the number of major generals is slightly smaller... In front of these highly powerful military bosses, where is there room for Osron to attack?
Salian waved his hand: "So? All are ready? Then let's go!"
A tall and black-faced general nodded heavily? He took a folder from a major general behind him? He handed it to Salian solemnly.
Salian opened the folder, signed his name solemnly on a document on it, then took out a small seal and knocked it heavily on the document.
The black face took the folder back? He took a serious look at the signature on it? and the deep seal lines, and nodded. He raised his right hand and waved hard towards a dark building at the end of the valley.
'laugh'!
‘KaKaKa’!
The metal ground in the valley shook slightly, and countless tiny blue lights exploded on the dark metal ground? The electric sparks that turned into fleas and splashed out in all directions.
Qiao widened his eyes, and he and Mr. Si Gengsi and others beside him all held their breath and looked at the slowly cracked metal ground in front of him with a dull look on his face.
The strong wind spewed out from the ground? A large tract of hot water vapor rushed up with the noise, shattering the cold wind and snow above the valley.
Laplaci's sharp laughter rang in Joe's mind: "Fussy mortal..."
Joe had no time to pay attention to the sarcastic Laplacie? He widened his eyes? His pupils were slightly red. He stared at the faster and faster crack on the ground with all his eyes.
Gradually, the metal ground of the entire valley slid open, revealing a large pit that was three miles long and two miles wide, and unknown how deep it was.
In this square pit, crystal glass lamps the size of human heads were hung on the walls of the pit. Glamorous lights jumped in the lamps, emitting light that was stronger than gas lamps, illuminating the entire pit.
A low metal sliding sound came from the bottom of the pit.
The ground was trembling, and the air around it was filled with displaced electrical elements. Qiao waved his fingers, and a large number of electric sparks burst out between his fingers, making a crisp sound of "crackling".
Below the big pit, a huge metal platform rose slowly.
Dozens of Hydra Secret Guards were like evil spirits from the night, wearing black leather tight soft armor, carrying long swords, and quietly standing around the metal platform.
On this huge metal platform, a magnificent and incredible creature was like a sleeping giant beast, quietly crawling there.
It is nearly two miles long and more than one mile wide, and it looks like a thick and fat ray.
The whole body is made of metal, and the surface is as smooth as a mirror. Under the blue-black shell, the fine lines processed by unknown means shine with confusing and magical light.
"Okay, efficiency, efficiency, respected generals! The Lanyin Corridor is ready and just waiting for us." Salian clapped his palms vigorously, staring at this extraordinary metal creation with enthusiasm: "Aha, every time I see it, I always feel like a first love... Unfortunately, the cost of falling in love with it is too high."
An admiral standing beside Salian muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's the end of the year... This time to mobilize it..."
Salian waved his hand and shouted excitedly: "At this time, don't tell me any discouraging words such as fiscal deficits and military spending holes, okay? That's something that the Minister of Military Affairs and the Prime Minister of the Empire should worry about..."
"As imperial soldiers, our responsibility is to find the enemy, or create the enemy, and then use all means to kill our enemies!" Salian whistled, patted Joe's arm with his backhand, reminded him to "follow up", and then ran all the way toward the creature that had risen to the ground.
Qiao followed Sallyan in a slight stroll. He asked in horror: "Your Highness, what is this?"
Salian stared at the creation without looking squintingly and shouted: "Who knows what its real name is? But since the Empire discovered it, mastered it, and restarted it, the Empire called it the 'God War Chariot'."
"A very tacky name, isn't it? But, it's really great!" Salian said sincerely: "It's really great!"
'laugh'!
On one side of the God's Chariot, an outer armor plate dozens of feet wide fell down slowly, landing heavily on the ground, turning into a steep gangway.
Salian took more than a hundred imperial generals to run up the gangway in small steps.
Behind them were Mr. Sigensi, the entourage of the generals, and the group of Hydra Secret Guards.
Walking up the gangway, the lights in front of you shine on a huge space.
About an Imperial Army soldier with a full combat brigade was sitting upright in the corner. Seeing Sally and others coming in, the soldiers stood up at the same time and stood at the stern salute.
Salian and others returned the salute to the soldiers, and the officers leading the team shouted the orders, and the soldiers sat down neatly.
Apart from these soldiers, the huge space was filled with huge wooden boxes.
Salian brought the man to the nearest wooden box without using a crowbar. He directly used his fingers to pick out the long nails on the box, opened the lid, revealing a dark mortar inside.
Joe raised his eyebrows. He had just read the drawings of the mortar in the private vault at the Imperial Bank headquarters.
The mortar in front of me is about 120 millimeters!
"Dear generals, this is one of the new ordnances we went to the front line of the Lanyin Corridor to test this time." Salian proudly slapped the big guy who was all black and emitting a cold light of steel.
"The Empire Style 79, 120 caliber mortar... The total weight of the battle is 700 pounds!" Salian smiled proudly: "Dear generals, the total weight of the battle is 700 pounds... Any slightly stronger Imperial soldier can carry it and walk freely on the battlefield!"
"Range, four miles (metric: 6437m)!" Salian smiled and looked at the group of generals whose eyes were shining, fired, and blue veins raised on their foreheads.
Before the official trip today, all the indicators of these new ordnances were absolutely confidential. Except for Salian and a few confidant generals, no one in the Empire knew the specific performance of these ordnances.
"And the new shells it is equipped with, the destructive power of each shell is equivalent to the old 300-millimeter mortar shell!" Salian said again with a flash of grace and said a data that made the generals present almost crazy.
The weight of his own is only a meager of seven hundred pounds, and a soldier can carry it all over the ground!
The range is comparable to the current large-caliber field gun, and it also reaches the four-mile level.
On the battlefields of Medland countries today, this range can even be said to be too extravagant.
Such a light weight and such a large range, it has the same destructive power as the current 300 milli-heavy mortar cannon... Such a new cannon is the "god"! It is the "master"! It is the most terrifying "soul harvester" on the battlefield!
"Think about it, the terrible weight of the 300-millimeter mortar, that kind of big guy..." Salian curled his lips in disgust: "It's outdated, outdated, and completely useless... Dear generals, the Imperial Army no longer needs the kind of inferior goods with a weight of tens of thousands of pounds, a range of only three or four miles, and a lack of power!"
"We have something better!"
