Volume 1: The Rise of Elanhill Chapter 0090 Development of Weapon Technology
"It's really... unexpected." Looking at the scene in front of him, Chris felt that there must be another person who traveled through time besides himself. Although he had spread a lot of his knowledge, everything in front of him still gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Yes, a sense of familiarity - without anyone reminding them, all departments brainstormed and completed the defense system of Seris City. As a result, Chris saw not only the bastions and anti-aircraft towers, but also the ring railway and the terrible armored train.
Given that the dragon can flexibly choose the direction of attack, dispersing anti-aircraft artillery seems to be a serious waste of firepower. Therefore, under the premise of trying every possible way to concentrate the artillery for use, someone proposed the concept of an anti-aircraft artillery train.
Then, in just a dozen days, Desel built a ring railway specifically for air defense operations, and he built two railways at once! He deployed two special trains on each of the two railways, each of which was equipped with ammunition carriages and anti-aircraft gun carriages.
With everyone's reminders, the armored train became more and more perfect, with steel plates for defense installed and fireproof designs in important parts. The number of carriages towed by the front of the train also increased, including a rest carriage for soldiers on guard, a special anti-aircraft gun carriage, an anti-aircraft machine gun carriage, an ammunition supply carriage, and a cold water carriage for firefighting.
After these armored trains were added to the air defense system, the defense system of Seris became more complete. Compared to all the mortal cities before, Seris was completely an unprecedented super fortress.
"You guys are really capable..." Chris looked at the city defense map with a smile, and praised his men who had been working diligently in his base camp, "This can be said to be the most powerful air defense system we can build."
A student who had acquired high school physics knowledge pointed to the report and reported to Chris: "In fact, there is more than that. When we were developing night combat, we improved the searchlight. Because we were worried that the searchlight system would be destroyed by the dragon, we added a lot of new weapons and equipment to supplement the combat troops."
Gurlo took over the topic and said, "For example, we tried to manufacture mortars and put them into production. We used this low-pressure light artillery to throw a new type of shells - flares. With this new shell, our combat effectiveness at night has also been improved. The troops have conducted targeted training at night, and the effect is obvious."
This is definitely an efficient supplement to night combat. With things like flares, it will not only be used in air defense operations, but will also be used extensively in future field battles. It is definitely a very effective technical means of night combat.
"In addition, in terms of ammunition production, new solid armor-piercing bullets have begun to be equipped to the troops. Armor-piercing bullets of the same caliber allow rifles and machine guns to have stronger penetration capabilities, and are more lethal to dragons." Another young man who had knowledge of weapons manufacturing spread out several drawings in front of Chris and introduced them.
He is now the technician in charge of ordnance production and a very capable subordinate of Smith. The ammunition improvement plan led by him has achieved many results. Many of the enhancements to the Seris defense system are due to his contribution.
"Most of the warheads we produce now have pyroxene added to them, which improves their ballistic performance and increases their destructive power. If necessary, we can even make warheads entirely out of pyroxene. Although it is expensive, its performance is very strong." He looked at his idol Chris and introduced his achievements word by word.
Iron is a specialty of Ailan Hill. It is said that there are also iron veins in the southern Alante Empire and the Dosen Empire, and the output is not low. This kind of steel has very good performance, especially when used alone, the performance is shocking.
It is precisely because of the existence of pyroxene, a material that did not exist in the previous life, that the industry of Ireland Hill was able to rise rapidly, transcending many metallurgical and casting technologies and directly developing highly practical power machinery.
As for weapons, with the support of ferroxene, ferroxene has become an indispensable additive in both gun barrels and bullet production, greatly improving the durability of Ailanhill's weapons and equipment.
"Also, we have produced tracer bullets according to the drawings. There are not many of these bullets now, and they can only be distributed to the air defense forces in Seris. During use, we found that this is a new type of ammunition that is very effective for correcting shooting. We are expanding its production capacity." Smith nodded and said to Chris.
"In other words, you have improved the effectiveness of our existing weapons even though we are no longer able to increase the speed of weapon production on a large scale? Haha! You are much better than I thought." Chris spoke again and praised everyone.
Although more than a dozen people got some of Chris's knowledge and could understand many aspects of the problem, but relying on the limited knowledge and some drawings left by Chris, these "ancients" were able to exert themselves and run on the right path. Chris really felt that he underestimated the heroes of the world.
"With tracer bullets, our shooting accuracy has increased rapidly, but some of the chemicals consumed in the laboratory... were originally stored as experimental preparations. Now we need to open a related preparation factory."
"I really don't know whether this is right or wrong. I am actually helping a group of mortals develop a new weapon to massacre my fellow countrymen in the magic empire." Franzberg sat in the corner with a wry smile and complained to his apprentice William beside him.
"Perhaps I will be abandoned by the God of Elements, and become an old man who is nothing." He seemed a little lonely, and no longer had the look of looking down on the world as before.
"Teacher, you recently wrote 19 papers on magic machinery. These papers are the most ingenious advancement and explanation of the future of magic that I have ever seen. We are on an unprecedented path. I didn't believe it before, but now I am convinced of it." Apprentice William sat beside him and lowered his voice to comfort his teacher.
"Unfortunately, because we don't have enough magical energy to test my theory, these things are now little more than waste paper." Franzberg sighed , a bitter expression written all over his face.
The magic reserve liquid that was used to replenish magic power was decreasing little by little, which made Franzberg, who was used to the feeling of magic in his body, very uncomfortable. It also made his idea of doing magic experiments become an unrealistic fantasy.
"The first batch of magic ore has already set off from Volavor. This batch of magic ore will all be used to make the magic ball of knowledge." At this time, Chris looked at Frundsberg and said, "You can choose the knowledge you want and supplement it for yourself."
Chris' words surprised the great magician Franzberg, who had already regretted staying in Elan Hill. He looked up at Chris with wide eyes, and after a long while he spoke gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."
"I have seen your papers on magic and machinery. I will keep you alone to discuss this matter later." Chris is very interested in those fantastic ideas that are beyond his cognition, because those things may represent a broader future.
As the inheritor of modern industrial civilization and a soul that traveled through time from the information technology era, Chris firmly believed in the greatness of science and technology, but on the other hand, he never underestimated anything about magical civilization.
From the moment he saw the corpse of the dragon with his own eyes, from the moment he saw the giant horse cavalry crash into the defense line of the 13th Regiment with his own eyes, he knew that it was wrong to blindly reject magical civilization. He should be a monarch who is tolerant of the world, rather than a leader who only represents mortals.
"We have captured a seriously injured prisoner from the Holy Demon Empire, a dragon knight. If you have time, Mr. Great Magician, would you be interested in meeting this dragon knight?" Since Franzberg was called, Chris naturally thought of the wounded prisoner he brought back.
The dragon knight who was shot down in the Fallen Dragon City was brought back to Seris City by Chris. Strictly speaking, this was the first time that a prisoner of the Holy Demon Empire was captured on the battlefield. The uninvited prisoner, Frundsberg, was now more like a pioneer who surrendered voluntarily.
"Dragon Knight? Not interested..." Surprisingly, the old man Franzberg had no feelings for his fellow countryman. Compared to a dragon knight whose magical attainments were lower than William's, he would rather discuss the future of magic machinery with Chris right away.
"William, go check the opponent's magic power. If it is really used up, just lock him up." Franzberg thought for a moment and looked at Chris and said, "There are many dragon knights in the Holy Demon Empire. You have to be careful next time. Your Majesty Chris, they will retaliate and use more dragon knights to retaliate."
"I can only try my best to resist. It's not my character to just sit there and wait for death. But if they scatter and attack everywhere, I don't have any good way to deal with it." Chris shrugged and said to Franzberg.
"Indeed, this is a problem." Frundsberg agreed. "If they come directly to attack Seris, I will go to see the general who leads the troops. If possible, I will stop them from destroying Elan Hill."
He paused, then continued, "From any perspective, magicians and mortals are not enemies. You know this, Your Majesty Chris! We have done a lot for this world, but many people have forgotten their original intentions and distorted their hearts."
"Yes, if they sow sin in the mortal world, then Ireland Hill will be a blooming flower of hatred." Chris said softly with his head down.
