Chapter 177: Clearance
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
There's no one who doesn't love a blast!
While the other teams were still suppressing the firepower in an orderly manner.
On the side of Whiterock-Winchester United, the sound of explosions was already heard.
Although the distance of the explosion was still far away, the shock wave of the explosion seemed to have rushed in front of everyone.
The mayor of New Haven, who was always in control, covered his face with his arm.
The commander of the militia, Thomson, was also taken aback, but he did not dodge, but cautiously looked in the direction of the explosion.
Gao Wen, who was originally impassioned, suddenly had no way to explain it when he said this.
Why is there no way to explain it?
Because he had no idea what was going on.
He had no idea why there was such a loud explosion in the direction of the Whitestone-Winchester United.
"This ...... Is this a bag of explosives?" said Gawain, hesitantly.
"No! it's not an explosives bag! it's a grenade!" Doug was already from the edge of the stand, to the middle.
He gentlemanly introduced himself to the few people in front of him, "Hello everyone, I'm Doug Claydon, owner of White Rock-Winchester United. Let me explain it to you. ”
Doug turned around and looked in the direction of the Whitestone-Winchester United, he looked at the smoke and dust that was stirred up over there, took out a wooden-handled grenade from his bosom and said, "It was the one that just exploded!"
"No way! There's no way a grenade can have such a big blast effect!" Colter Jr. retorted.
Although he looks like a son, he is not completely ignorant of weapons and equipment.
Actually, he still knows a little.
For example, he knew that a grenade filled with black powder would require at least a sack to achieve such an explosive effect.
But how can a sack of grenades be thrown into the enemy's position?
Don't......
Did you do it?
It must be so!
"You—you've done it!" Colt said, pointing at Doug.
Doug smiled slightly, did not admit or refute, but the expressions of the others looking at Little Colt were a little subtle.
It seems that everyone wants to say "whose fool is this"......
Because, this is a very simple logic, naturally Doug dares to stand up.
Since Doug dared to say this in front of everyone.
It shows that he is very confident.
If a person is not confident, how can he expose his weakness to others?
Doug didn't delay long, just paused slightly, and then he continued, "Because Winchester's grenade, the loaded explosives are not black powder. Rather, a completely new explosive.
His fierceness is at least dozens of times higher than that of black powder.
So, there was such a big explosion. ”
"Dozens of times?" Thomson muttered.
Although grenades have been born for more than 100 years, there are not many application scenarios.
The main reason is that after it exploded, the destructive power produced was not as strong as imagined.
Moreover, due to problems such as craftsmanship, it is inevitable that there will be problems such as dumb fire.
Neither reliability nor destructiveness worked, so grenades, although they have made it to the stage of history, have been hovering on the fringes of the stage.
"Can you show me?" asked Thomson.
"Of course!" replied Doug.
He handed the grenade in his hand to Thomson, the commander of the New Haven militia.
However, when he handed it to Thomson, he said, "Your Excellency, this is a grenade that is not loaded with explosives. ”
Why didn't the grenade in Doug's hand be loaded with explosives?
Because the explosives that are now loaded with grenades made in Winchester are all picric acid.
Picric acid is not as safe as he thinks, and Doug is not a person who is ready to kill himself, so he certainly does not carry a grenade filled with picric acid with him.
As for why trinitrotoluene is not used, it is because no reliable primer has been developed.
You know, trinitrotoluene is much more stable than picric acid.
It's safe, but at the same time, it's harder to get it to explode.
Despite Doug being in this world, the Nobel Prize was the first to propose the concept of the detonator.
That is, use explosives that are easier to explode, but less violent, to detonate trinitrotoluene.
However, this is a bit demanding for the process.
At present, the engineers of Winchester Arms Company have not yet come up with this problem.
After all, the so-called engineers in this era are not so professional.
They did not graduate from a vocational school, but from another profession.
And, because their level of education is relatively low.
It is not good to introduce mathematical and physical tools to aid in design, and the design of weapons is more through the so-called experience.
Although, it is also possible to exhaust reliable designs.
But the time, money, and casualties required were a little more expensive than Doug's ideal scientific design.
Of course, scientific design does not mean that you can design today, get pregnant tomorrow, and produce a finished product the day after tomorrow.
Empirical design is not without meaning.
However, there are many advantages over experience-based design.
However, this is an internal problem. Doug certainly wouldn't blow himself up in front of so many people.
What he has to do now is to make everyone in the room, whether it is his peers or future customers, feel that Winchester's weapons are the best and most advanced!
Little Colt said, "Who knows what you said is true! How can new explosives be so easy to study!"
Doug still smiled slightly, he ignored little Colt, but looked directly at the mayor of New Haven, "Lord Mayor, do you remember those terrorist attacks against the rich people of New Haven some time ago! The explosives they used in the attack were stolen from my laboratory!"
I think you know very well how powerful those explosives are, and whether they are very destructive!"
When everyone heard Doug's words, their eyes naturally focused on the head of the mayor of New Haven.
De Niro, the mayor of New Haven, wanted to stare at Doug fiercely, because he knew that those explosives were not dropped by Doug's lab at all, and those explosions were deliberately made by him!
Spread panic, buy stocks, and use shady means to achieve your own ends.
It's good to just achieve your goal, and now you actually have the face to say it?
However, in front of so many people, Mayor De Niro didn't want to show that he knew Doug well.
He put down the arm that had just covered the explosion and said calmly, "Indeed, a very strong explosive has been studied in Doug's laboratory. There was a flurry of panic in New Haven. ”
Doug may be lying because no one knows him, so what can't he do in order to brag about his product?
However, the mayor of New Haven, whom everyone knows, represents the credibility of the government and is not easy to lie.
Not all of them believed completely, but at least most of them.
At this time, Thomson, the commander of the militia, who had finished studying the grenade in front of him that was not filled with explosives, said, "I don't think this grenade can be thrown very far, so how did you do it and blow up the fortifications in the distance?"
Without even thinking about it, Doug replied directly, "That's right." At the very beginning of the battle, our White Rock-Winchester United, like the other teams, began to suppress the fire at the first time.
However, unlike their mere fire suppression.
The Whitestone-Winchester United, while suppressing the fire, also sent mine-throwers.
These minefielders crawled forward close to the ground, and bullets from both sides could hit them.
Of course, after the professional training of Baishi Security, the probability of being hit has been greatly reduced.
When the Minefielders reach the range they can throw, they will start throwing bombs.
So, there is the scene that you see. ”
"Is this a concerted operation?" asked Commander Thomson.
"Yes, it's a coordinated operation. Only after sufficient rigorous training can the mine-throwers reach a good tacit understanding with the designers in the rear, and annihilate the enemy when they are not noticed. Doug replied.
Thomson nodded.
However, little Colt came out again at this time, "This is useless! This is simply a risk, risking their lives!"
Thomson glared at little Colt with caring eyes, and said solemnly, "What do you think war is? Is it a joke? It's useless? Even if this tactic is only useful in this scene, it will be useful!"
Others didn't speak up for Colt. Jr. either.
Because, too, they have had enough of little Colt.
Little Colt, like all young people, is too pretentious, thinks that everyone else is garbage, that they are all mentally retarded, and that only he is always right.
However, this world, this society has its own laws of operation.
When you haven't even figured out this law of operation, what qualifications do you have to deny this law of operation?
However, on the other side of the training ground, you can't see what is happening on the side of the stand.
All the teams are attacking according to the drilled strategy.
Of course, in addition to the Whitestone-Winchester United's own men, many of them were also taken aback by the sudden explosion.
However, it was only scary.
They didn't just flee in all directions.
All the teams present are teams that have experienced actual combat.
In comparison, the whitestone-Winchester United team, which has been formed for a shorter period of time, is a team with fewer actual battles.
However, the core personnel of the Whitestone-Winchester United team all came from that battle in New York.
They obeyed Ram's command and obeyed Ram's dispatch, and Ram was a very talented child for fighting.
With such a configuration, coupled with the weapon support given by Doug's side, in fact, the Whitestone-Winchester United team can be said to be the most powerful team among the teams present.
However, among the people in the audience, it is estimated that only Doug firmly believes this.
Others, whether Winchester or Gawain, were skeptical.
It's not their fault, they're just ordinary people.
Although Gawain is already one of Doug's dogs, he has no feelings for Ram, and even has an illusion that he is much stronger than Ram.
But how can the people who can surround Doug be weak?
Whitestone-Winchester United took the lead in attacking the fort because of their grenade advantage.
However, the storming of the fortress, although it has already ended the first one.
But the whole exercise did not stop.
The second drill was in front of the fortress.
That's right, the training ground for all teams is a long strip.
It's like a video game years later, after one level, you'll have to follow the map to the second level.
Such extravagant exercises can only be realized in the United States in this era.
Such a large area of land, although nominally has their owner, that is, the government.
But in reality, it's still borderland.
It's like looking west from the east of the United States, and there seems to be an endless amount of land suitable for farming and survival.
No matter how severe the economic crisis is, people should not starve to death with so much land.
However, theory is one thing, and practice is another.
These lands, despite the fact that they have no owners, they nominally belong to the government.
Even if you do go to live here, no one will let you leave right away.
However, living in a barren and isolated place, where there is no supply of daily necessities, even if you can farm your own land, can you really live well?
Only by railroad can these places really become suitable places for settlement.
The White Rock-Winchester United, who entered the fort, rested in the ruins, and they did not immediately start the second level.
It's not because they're running out of energy.
It's because the teams on both sides of them haven't passed the first level yet.
If Whitestone-Winchester United start to play the second hurdle now, who knows if those guys will shoot black guns?
Even if they don't shoot black guns, stray bullets are very likely to hit them.
True, this is a flaw in the design of this exercise.
Even the designers themselves have not yet reacted to this flaw.
Although Gawain is a man with some cleverness, he is very familiar with government affairs.
But how could he be professional in the design of such a drill venue?
He didn't know if he didn't ask a professional about what the drill should do.
However, the guidance of professionals is based on experience.
Did people come to the field to design the exercise venue?
So, I immediately found Tom, who was in danger, and decided to take a break.
While accumulating physical strength, I also thought about how to pass the second level.
The second level is different from the first level's encounters.
There is also no attempt to pass through the encounter as a fortress.
The second level doesn't even have to shoot, but is a simple obstacle course.
Just by overcoming these obstacles, you will be able to clear the third level.
But.
These hurdles are also not so easy to pass.
Ram pulled out his dagger and carved a map of the obstacles ahead on the ground.
And I had a little conversation with the team members who are good at obstacles.
He decided, ditching some of his equipment.
