The Royal Springfield Arsenal is located in the northwest of Abyss City, with Lake Neva to the north, and is easily accessible by water. It has a long history, having been established for almost a thousand years.

It is the most important factory in the industrial area, and it is also an important stronghold in the western part of Abyssal City, which has been built directly into a strong fortress.

Charles's lunch was served in the workers' quarters outside the Arsenal, where there were a number of restaurants catering to single workers.

"Let's have a bowl of thick noodles with fish balls. Charles said to the boss.

"There is no rough paste. The boss replied.

"Let's have a bowl of fish balls and pho. ”

"There is no pho. ”

Fortunately, Charles was not McDull, and he asked, "So what's there now?"

"I recommend the beef balls here. Rurika said, who had brought Charles here.

"Would you like a bowl of beef balls and pho?" the boss asked.

"Okay. Charles nodded.

Not everyone can visit the arsenal casually, even if Charles and Diana follow the path of Nicholas II and get a visitor's pass, they also need to be accompanied by a special person. Considering Charles's itinerary, the escort was taken over by Rurika.

It stands to reason that a person of Rurika's status has no reason to find a random roadside restaurant when he has a treat, and sure enough, the peeing cow pill that can be used to play table tennis conquered Charles and Diana at the right time.

Rurica said with a smile: "The recipe for this beef balls is still left by Philip, and after so many years, this restaurant has made the best taste." ”

"Boss, another bowl of beef balls!" Charles called for another bowl, and then divided it equally with Diana.

At this time, the Springfield Huahua Kindergarten opposite the small restaurant also happened to be the time for dinner, the children of this kindergarten are all children of the Springfield Arsenal, the children lined up in front of the canteen, and then sang "Planting the Sun" under the leadership of the teacher.

The song drifted to the small restaurant, and Charles and Diana burst into tears, and Rurica thought they were moved to tears by the delicious beef balls.

The well-fed and well-fed duo followed Rurica to the arsenal, where they received their identification badges at the entrance and were asked to hang them in a prominent position.

The two young visitors did so, otherwise they deserved to be arrested as spies.

At Charles's request, Rurica took them to the workshop where new weapons were being researched and produced.

Rurica can infer from the "Charles series" such as "Conscience", "Broadsword" and "Organ" from the Elven Court that Charles has a good talent in the field of new weapons, so he agrees to Charles's request.

Charles knew that Philip had left behind a number of samples of modern weapons, many of which he had seen in the basement of the Royal Library, and now that work had begun in the arsenal, such as the semi-automatic rifle used by Freya.

However, Diana was not very favorable with Freya using that kind of gun, because Freya mainly fought with Emerald in the woods, and the more flexible short guns in that environment were more suitable for them.

However, Charles knows more than that, and even if he brings in the modern firearms of his hometown, it may not be applicable in this world.

After the end of the "Journey of a Thousand Miles" a while ago, he was called to the Military Logistics and Military Technical Equipment Research Department to participate in the research of new firearms because of his extensive experience in the use of muskets, and the research department summed up many advantages and disadvantages of muskets from the opinions received by users, including Charles, on the use of muskets.

For example, when dealing with high-speed moving and dodging targets, the user can easily get close to the target, and the user cannot effectively damage close enemies with the gun. Even with a bayonet, the strength of the structure limits the power of the bayonet.

In this case, firearms can only replace ranged combat weapons such as bows and arrows, and cannot completely replace melee weapons.

At that time, the Ministry of Military Logistics and Military Technical Equipment Research joined forces with the relevant departments of the Rurik Kingdom to redesign the firearms used by the other side in this world.

Of course, Charles naturally made some small contributions during this period.

Diana kicked Charles in the calf, pointed to a sample of a new gun on the table, and whispered in Charles' ear, "This thing is your melee solution?"

Charles said triumphantly: "Yes, beautiful and practical." When dealing with close enemies, you don't need to stop and stab like a bayonet, just go straight to the enemy. ”

Diana glared at Charles, "But this thing has a lot of processing technology, precision and man-hours, and it is even a little more troublesome than the gun itself, do you think the military will agree to purchase such a high-cost weapon?"

Charles gently patted Diana on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this problem will be solved when our machine tool appears." ”

Diana looked Charles up and down seriously and said, "You planned it from the beginning?"

Charles smiled and didn't speak.

At this time, Rurika came over and said, "Today, the shooting range in the west is being tested, let's go and have a look." ”

Charles immediately nodded in agreement.

The sound of shooting on the shooting range came and went, and there were many researchers and workers gathered here, because this gun was jointly developed by the Rurik Kingdom and the Elven Royal Court, Charles also saw the elves he had seen in the Military Logistics and Military Technical Equipment Research Department here.

After a few pleasantries, a new gun was handed to Charles.

The elf, who was familiar with Charles, said, "Your Highness, you will also give it a try and see if there is anything to improve?"

Charles took the gun and threw an inquiring look at Diana, who just shook her head, let's keep the hole cards or something.

"I want to try this. Charles pointed to the small chainsaw hanging from under the barrel and said, "Is it reliable now?"

The melee solution he proposed was to replace the bayonet with a small magic-powered chainsaw, which could be easily tackled without encountering enemies wearing reinforced plate armor.

"That's it. The elf said, "The chainsaw experiment is going on here. ”

Charles came to a large wooden stake on the side, the hard stake was covered with deep cuts, and there were many tattered leather armor and a few pieces of armor beside it.

After the chainsaw was activated, there was a "buzzing" sound, and the vibration was not very large, Charles pressed the chainsaw part of the chainsaw gun on the wooden stake, and for a moment the sawdust flew in front of the user, and soon cut a deep mark.

"It's very motivating!" lamented Charles, who had struggled with the power part when he had come up with the Chainsaw Gun.

"That's right. The elf said, "The chainsaw uses the power technology of the golem, which is barely enough and not yet perfect, but it can be seen that it is full of energy." ”

"What about energy consumption?" Charles asked.

The elf burst out a set of numbers, and Charles nodded and said, "It seems to be within the acceptable range." ”

"Some people are thinking about developing the chainsaw sword, although the chainsaw sword is a bit heavier, but the dragons love it, and they can't get enough of the weapons that look like they're stylish. At this time, a researcher came over and said, "At the same time, people on the agricultural side are also very optimistic about this technology, and some people from forest farms want to use it to cut down trees." ”

"So does it have any drawbacks?" Charles asked deliberately.

"The material aspect was ok. "It's just that the processing is too complicated." ”

"That's easy to do. Charles spoke a little loudly, "I have a way to improve the efficiency of parts processing." ”

"Is it okay with other parts?" One of the demons was attracted by Charles's words, and he introduced himself, "I'm Knox, the director of the Royal Springfield Arsenal. ”

"Nice to meet you, Lord Knox. Charles shook hands with the other party, "Although my idea is still some way from being realized, I plan to talk to interested friends in the next two days." ”
