Chapter 298: The Holy Book of Another World
Yes, there was a musket in the world of Correll, technically called a flintlock pistol.
Why do you say it has appeared?
Naturally, it was because it was eliminated by the choice of the times ...
I have to say that in a world like Corell, which has a lot of extraordinary powers, muskets, especially flintlock pistols, which are troublesome to reload and less powerful, are in a really awkward position.
After all, the main force on the battlefield in this world is still heavy armored cavalry after all.
In the face of such a group of tin cans with full-body plate armor charging in groups, this 'burning stick' was completely powerless.
Although some people have tried to use enchantment to increase its power... Not to mention its cost performance, the flintlock pistol that has not even been invented with rifling, if you want to hit someone, it depends on luck, unless you learn from the queue shooting in the era of Napoleon in the Blue Star, there may still be a little bit of power.
But here comes the problem again, with this effort, a group of lightly trained bows and arrows fired a salvo that exploded the musket team both in accuracy and rate of fire and frequency ...
After all, the upper limit of the quality of the creatures in this world is ridiculously high through acquired training...
So its elimination is almost inevitable.
Igtiger: They had obviously heard of the musket, which was pitted, but the goblin engineering explosives made of the same alchemical material were still widely used in a variety of fields.
Before Levi went to Zeellandia, the Tiger Gold Miners' Brotherhood often used goblin engineering explosives to open mines, but the power of this thing was somewhat uncontrollable, and it was easy to cause accidental mine collapse accidents.
Iggy continued to report, "Based on the information guide on building an Ultramariner that you gave us before you fell asleep last time, we have also been studying the blueprints of the blaster in it for a while.
"Unfortunately, as a high-explosive munition, we have so far not been able to formulate an alchemical substitute that meets its explosive requirements.
"And the propulsion base, main propulsion package, large-scale reaction explosive fire cap and diamond warhead required by the gun itself, with our current technology and industrial base, are far from meeting its accuracy requirements.
"As for the purified deuterium core, we have not yet been able to observe the microscopic level of the element, and it is naturally impossible to find the element 'deuterium', but it is not ruled out that it does not exist in this world. β
Just when Levi was a little disappointed, this guy Ig quietly took out a large exaggerated and complicated crossbow arrow, put it on the desk, raised his hand and introduced:
"In order to make up for this regret, we can only choose to follow the degradation routine like the chainsaw sword, reduce its power and production requirements, and there is it, and the mage Maxine who was responsible for developing it named it Demon Splitter Repeater. β
"What? Demon Breaker Repeater? I'll see!"
Born in a red robe, Fei She had a natural curiosity about this novel alchemy creation, and then picked up this heavy alchemy creation and looked around.
"Just pull the trigger gently...", Iggy was halfway through his sentence when Fischer instinctively pulled the trigger.
Poof!
The powerful sound of breaking wind was almost mixed with a dull dull sound and a harsh metal grinding sound at the same time.
Fischer looked up a little confused, and saw Levi staring at the crossbow arrow between his claws, which had been badly deformed and the arrow was red and smoking.
The cold sweat on his head flowed down like a waterfall, and he stammered:
"Old... Boss..."
"It's okay, this thing can't pierce through my scales. β
Levi glanced at him, and then looked at the lower part of his claw wrist that was forced to partially turn back into a main defense and the scale armor was scratched, and couldn't help but say:
"But this power is really good, it shouldn't be a big problem to penetrate a layer of plate armor, my scales are scratched, and now I'm going to do scale polishing again, this part of the labor fee is deducted from your monthly allowance is okay, right?"
"No... No comments..."
Fischer wants to cry, does he dare to have an opinion...
If he were to be his lord with an ordinary creature, he might have been splattered with blood for five steps and would have fallen on the spot.
Tiger and Holtz on the side were originally a little eager to try, but they were also very unfamiliar with this novel alchemy creation, and seeing the tragic situation of Fisher, they thought about it and endured it first.
Iggy was accustomed to this, and calmly continued:
"This is a standard crossbow bolt, made of fine iron throughout, and we have created a number of crossbow arrows with different enchantment effects to meet the needs of various situations and different enemies. β
Levi bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.
Eagle casually picked up a crossbow arrow with red lines on the table and introduced: "First of all, it is a purgatory arrow enchanted with fire-based plastic energy spells, the principle is actually similar to a magic scroll, and the fire spells on it will bloom after being triggered by impact, causing a small area of flame explosion, such a purgatory arrow is enough to turn a heavy armored cavalry without spell protection into a torch with people and mounts." β
Holtz's hair on the side stood up on the spot, if he hadn't been caught off guard before he had been transformed by an Ultramarine, if he had been caught off guard by such an arrow, he would probably be uncomfortable tight, and his fur would have to be replaced.
Immediately, Iggy continued to pick up two crossbow arrows with frost white and pale blue from the table and said:
"Frost Arrow, suitable for Agile Wanderers and Thieves, can inflict a certain range of Frozen Lag even if it misses a direct hit.
"Wind Tracker Silencer Arrow, surrounded by a wind enchantment that reduces wind-breaking noise, can be used for covert combat, and decapitation and sniping.
"There are only these three types of plastic energy, and the effect of other categories is relatively low. β
Levi: "Yes, it's very practical, and there's it." β
Eagle picked up the last two and continued: "This one, the arrow is quenched with a mutant acid poison that mixes mushroom spores and several well-known biotoxins in the dark region, once the toxin enters the body, neurotoxins and hemolytic toxins will work at the same time, which can produce a certain hallucinogenic effect, and it is good to deal with some large creatures with rough skin and thick flesh." β
Fisher, Holtz, and Tiger all looked at the daring demon maniac with inexplicable eyes.
Instead of being offended or threatened, Levi asked with great interest:
"Have you ever tested it on a dragon?"
Eagle said truthfully: "I have tried to shoot on an earth-walking dragon, but most of the dragons' scale armor defense is too high, and this kind of poisonous arrow that sacrifices the power of kinetic energy will be greatly weakened, unless it directly hits the eyes, nose, mouth and anus, the effect will not be as expected." β
Li Wei glanced at it, saw that the arrows on the table were all introduced, and asked: "It's not bad, you can find a chance to try it on those black dragons in Ember City, if it can weaken them, then it will be successful, is that?"
Iger: "That's all for now, there were also Metal Storm Fragmentation Arrows and Armor-Piercing Arrows in the original plan, the former is suitable for dealing with swarms of lightly armored targets, and the latter is used against heavy armored creatures, but so far, neither the research progress nor the experimental results have reached the expected goal. β
Li Wei showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, with this kind of long-range repeater, our territory's shortcomings in long-range firepower have finally been solved." β
In the whole of Zeelandia, due to its location in a dim and dark region, there are really not many archers who can handle it, except for the female Drow who are not destined to become an army for the time being, and even if they start training now, it will be at least a few years to start.
But Iger's next sentence made Levi's smile freeze: "I'm sorry, Tiberius, I'm afraid that in a short time, we still won't be able to complete the assembly." β
Levi already had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What?"
"Even the crossbow itself has very high requirements for material and precision, and at present, it is impossible to use the assembly line production method, at least it requires the cooperation of master-level gray dwarf craftsmen and mages above the intermediate level, and the cost of enchanted arrows is also very high. β
"How tall?" asked Levi cheaply.
Eagle was silent for a while, "If you want to complete the assembly of the thousand-person team, the cost will be enough to erase the total revenue of last year..."
The corners of Levi's mouth twitched.
In other words, they have been busy in Jishui City for more than half a month, and they have been busy in vain?
In other words, straight out of the bank...
Nima, sure enough, something related to magic is something that burns money.
But the effect of this Demon Splitting Crossbow described by Iggy is too greedy for him!
Levi took a deep breath, knocked his index finger on the table in contemplation, and asked:
"Without delaying other projects, you can do your best to produce, I will not make any requirements in this regard for the time being, anyway, such a bulky crossbow cannot be carried by horses, and it is estimated that it can only be equipped on the future motorcycle rider. β
Eagle bowed slightly and said, "Follow your will." β
Levi turned to Fischer again: "Fisher, plan to arrange, due to the shortage of priests in our territory, you can arrange for people to contact the major churches in the surrounding city-states such as the Silver Moon Federation, Drawing Water City, and Neverwinter City, and see if you can ignore it... Well, ask some pastors to come to our territory for a mission?"
"This... I tried my best. β
Fischer scratched at the bare skull and replied with some embarrassment.
It's a well-known fact that the vast majority of churches have... Regional discrimination cannot be said to be discrimination, and there are still very few pastors who are willing to go to remote places to preach in order to practice their teachings.
Levi seemed to see his difficulties and said bluntly: "You can tell them that as long as they are willing to come and preach, we will be responsible for building the church." β
He is trying to make up for the lack of a treatment team, and he has also made a lot of money.
Although Zeelandia's surgical medicine has begun to sprout, it is still a bit too primitive, and the healing efficiency is far less than that of the priest's Orthodox Healing Technique.
Moreover, it is comparable to the vigorous methods of the 'Mongolian doctor', and it is easy to mistake it for a cult to desecrate the sacrificial scene...
Anyway, for Zeelandia, which has already trained a large number of qualified construction workers, isn't it just to build a few more houses!
As long as someone comes, it will be his Levi's person, no matter how you count it, you can earn it!
Hearing Levi's words, Fei Shi suddenly became overjoyed: "Aha, if there is a ready-made church, I'm afraid that many pastors will force their heads, I'll do it!"
Pastors who are able to achieve remarkable results in their missions will be of great benefit to their faith and career.
"Wait, there's no rush for this, let's go back later. β
Levi shouted back the bald head of the red robe, looked around at everyone, and finally fell on Tiger, and said, "Tiger, I say, you remember." β
"Yes!"
Tiger sat upright. I know that it is probably the lord's approval plan for his new army formation.
Sure enough, I heard Li Wei say: "I think you should have felt that the times are quietly changing."
"It's not just our Zeellandia that is changing fast, but the external environment is also changing, especially since I went to Drawing Water. β
"With the discovery of the ruins of Nether everywhere, and as more and more arcane achievements are applied to the production of various materials by some large families that have been passed down for thousands of years, it has essentially marked the beginning of the germination of capital.
It's just that the vast majority of families or city-states don't realize this, but capital is inherently profit-seeking.
"I have looked through the financial report statistics of the Chamber of Commerce that Miss Xia Lanwei Luosi lent to me, and it is obvious that in the past 100 years, all kinds of import and export trade in Jishui City have been showing a steady and increasing trend, and in the past ten years, this increase has been more obvious.
"And our Hoag Mining's industrial integration and factory assembly line model in Jishui City will sooner or later spread throughout the Corell continent with the circulation of shipping and the competition of major forces, thus exacerbating this change.
"With the increase of productivity, the competition for population, raw materials and even the production of cheap materials will lead to the early arrival of the era of colonial exploration!
"The conflict of interests also means that the pace of war is approaching.
"Fischer, Holtz, you must have seen the griffin knights of Drawing Water, the rows of whale hunting crossbows on the merchant ships in the docks, they can be used to hunt whales, they can be used to defend against pirate ships, and in the same way, you can also make a cameo appearance as a pirate yourself when no one is watching in the deep sea.
Therefore, the future war system will definitely change from a two-dimensional war with ironclad cavalry as the core to a three-dimensional war with coordinated operations on land, sea and air.
"In order to adapt to this change, and to guard against threats from the north, we must make changes in advance!"
Levi paused here and continued:
"I plan to spend fifty years to gradually build at least twenty warbands with battlefield rapid reaction capabilities and tactical resilience. β
"The command of each warband is under the full command of the warband leader, and is staffed by twenty-seven members of the elite Honor Guard.
"There is one chief medical officer in charge of treating the wounded and retrieving the bloodline, one chief priest in charge of faith support, one think tank curator in charge of spell support and recruit training, and one armory chief in charge of logistics and maintenance.
"Twelve physicians, ten priests, ten think tank administrators, and twenty-seven gray dwarf technical sergeants.
"Each regiment will be divided into 10 companies, each of which will consist of 100 fighters and be commanded by a battle-hardened company commander.
"Each company consists of 10 squads, and each squad includes 10 Ultramarines led by a sergeant.
"The First Company will consist of ninety-seven veterans of a hundred battles, providing heavy fire and spell support.
"The second to fifth companies are combat companies, each consisting of six tactical squads, two close assault squads, and two heavy firepower squads.
"The sixth company is the Alchemy Motorcycle Ranger Squad, the seventh company is the Griffin Legion, and these two companies are tactical companies, which adjust their tactical operations according to the battlefield situation.
"The eighth company was a reserve assault company, which quickly and forcefully struck at the weak points of the enemy's army.
"The Ninth Company is a reserve fire support company.
"The 10th Company is a reconnaissance company, and it will also become a training company for new recruits, mainly participating in the battle as skirmishers, and the tactics are mostly stealthy operations. Their responsibilities will include infiltrating enemy positions, clearing the way for warbands, detecting enemy movements, setting up ambushes to capture prisoners, disrupting supply lines, and they will only be eligible to join the main force after they have proven themselves in 10 companies.
"At that time, I will title it as:
"Brother Astarte!"
After hearing such a dazzling and complicated organization, the group of people seemed to be confused.
Only Iggy looked silently at the book that Levi was holding in his right hand, and which he had heard the lord mention:
The Astarte Canonβββ Robert Killman. book
