Chapter 145: Weapons

In a corner of the arsenal of the Blue Cathedral, a small construction site has been built.

The bracket of the teleportation array has just been removed, revealing the original appearance of the built space equipment. The Transport Array is a circular platform with a height of thirty centimeters and a diameter of seven meters. The surface and interior of the platform are burned and filled with space magic arrays, and a 15° slope has been built on the edge of the platform and the floor of the arsenal to facilitate the transportation of goods.

There is an energy conversion furnace next to the wall of the teleportation array, and the hedron with magic energy fills into the conversion furnace, and the magic energy that can be generated can drive the entire portal to operate. In addition to the energy conversion furnace, there are three booms around the conveyor array for loading and unloading large heavy objects that are difficult to handle.

The entire teleportation array is protected by a layer of isolation enchantment, blocking the transmission of sound, and mirroring and refracting light to achieve the purpose of invisibility.

Throughout the construction of the teleportation array, the Church Knights of the Blue Cathedral would enter and exit the arsenal several times a day. Especially after Father Titus and Councillor George decided on a plan to transfer the weapons, the cathedral gradually returned the borrowed weapons.

But no one noticed the teleportation array that was busy with construction.

It's just a layer of enchantment, and on one side is the sound of tinkling magic circuits, and magic shines; On the other side, there was a gloomy, quiet sound of church knights carrying and arranging weapons.

Everyone is safe......

When the teleportation array completed the construction under the auspices of the night, Da Liang couldn't wait to come to this arsenal.

As Juliet described a few days ago, there are so many weapons here.

Da Liang walked over to a wooden box piled up on a hill, then pointed to one of the wooden boxes and said to Sophia, "Open this." ”

The wooden crates were nailed with iron nails and could generally only be opened with a crowbar.

But Sophia walked over to Da Liang and pointed to the wooden box, and easily broke the lid of the wooden box, revealing a rifle with a rod embedded in the groove.

This is a manual rifle with a shape similar to that used in World War I and World War II, and it is a rifle that needs to be manually loaded into the chamber and the used cartridge case removed from the chamber. Pull the bolt with one shot, the shooting speed is slow, but the range and power are greater than ordinary automatic rifles.

These rifles are the Halberd 548 infantry guns supplied by the Holy See State for the Council of Marcellus, and there is a set of Papal State-designed pressurization techniques for the Halberd Rifle in the chamber and bolt, which can provide additional chamber pressure for the next shot by recovering the energy of the shot. It allows the bullet to shoot farther and the trajectory is straighter.

The Halberd Rifle is an active infantry weapon in the Papal State, and the basic model can be used by ordinary soldiers who do not have magical powers. Some derivative models have been adjusted to the gun body, and then the corresponding techniques have been added, combined with special alchemy bullets, to produce special uses.

For example, the halberd sniper rifle, the halberd cavalry rifle, the halberd aerial combat gun, and the squad direct fire blasting gun......

The council bought these weapons to equip a full infantry division, so both the base and variants of the Halberd Rifle can be found here.

Da Liang asked Sophia to open the wooden boxes in several places, which contained light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortar parts, as well as various bullets and shells in yellow, orange, and orange.

Hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers and sizes, ranging from small-caliber infantry that soldiers can take apart and transport to heavy artillery that must be pulled by animal power and special vehicles.

In addition to these, there are battle fortresses and silver wings purchased by the council from the papal state.

The role of a battle fortress is similar to that of a tank on Earth. However, the Battle Fortress uses a steam engine, which then uses the air pressure generated by the steam engine to drive the mechanical foot to carry the combat module. Of course, the speed of the battle fortress is not as fast as that of the tank, but the ability of the battle fortress to respond to the terrain is much higher than that of the tank.

As long as the driver's skill is excellent, the battle fortress can move on the mountain with a not very steep slope, and there is no need to worry about slipping in the snow.

In terms of maneuver, Battle Fortresses are also more flexible in their steering, and they can be switched to lateral movement at any time while advancing to avoid attacks from the front.

The multi-legged mechanical leg can raise the height of the turret, and the mechanical leg can be expanded to press the turret very low, so that the battle fortress can hide behind cover, fire a cannon and then lie down to avoid reloading.

When the battle fortress is fully deployed and fixed to the ground with mechanical legs, it can use the most powerful "bombardment" technique, which can be used as a heavy artillery to target the enemy's fortifications.

But in Da Liang's eyes...... The flaws of the Battle Fortress are also very fatal, first of all in its defenses. The way it moves determines that its mechanical legs are not able to withstand too high a load, thus causing the armor of the battle fortress to be relatively thin.

The flexibility is exaggerated, but taking a shot is basically the end of it.

The tank is a heavy armored vehicle, and the moving wheels and tracks are translated in such a way that it can be covered with thick armor on all sides. Although the agility of the tank is lower than that of a battle fortress, as long as it is angled to take a few shells, nothing happens.

Why there are no tanks in this world, Da Liang guesses that it should be the immaturity of piston engine technology. The mainstream engine is an air pressure tie rod engine, which uses the increase and decrease of air pressure to drive the tie rod to achieve power transmission, which limits the further downsizing of the engine.

Therefore, all the miniaturized locomotives that Daliang saw were magic power, and the cost was high, and there was no way to popularize them to civilians.

Da Liang felt that studying piston engines, or other more powerful engines, was a new direction for the Great Tomb to achieve corner overtaking in weapons, and at the same time, powerful and cheap engines could drive the speed of the world's logistics, thereby accelerating the process of civilization.

As long as the power can keep up, the tank can be built bigger, thicker armored, and run faster. Once the tank has formed the ability to quickly penetrate defense across theaters, it can become the protagonist of the ground battlefield. As for the battle fortress, the legs can't run on wheels, and the low defense and high sensitivity can only be a very good infantry support weapon.

Da Liang believes that once the heavy tank is studied, it will certainly change the world's war model.

After looking at the Battle Fortress, Da Liang turned his attention to Silver Wing's body again.

For a completely unfamiliar weapon, Da Liang couldn't find anything that could be compared to Silver Wing. The air power provided by the Silver Wing is equivalent to adding a pair of wings to the pilot. The combat effectiveness of the Silver Wing, in addition to the performance of the airframe, the pilot's mage level is also an important part of evaluating the combat effectiveness of a Silver Wing.

Silverwing's primary weapon is the pilot's aerial combat rifle, which is far more powerful than the base model. At the same time, Silver Wing can also activate the Bombarder of the Combat Rifle to complete the combat mission on the ground. Since the pilots of the Silver Wing are generally high-level magicians, the Silver Wing also has a very strong magical defense ability.

Piston combat basically doesn't have the strength to fight against Silverwing.

And in addition to flying fast, jet fighters do not have a good way to take the silver wing in the absence of missiles.

In addition, the current Silver Wing still has a lot of potential to be tapped, so Da Liang decided to prioritize the development of his own Silver Wing in the Great Tomb. After the piston engine technology matures, we are considering the study of other aircraft.
