In the shooting range of the palace, Luo Ji played with the rifle in his hand, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood on this day.

The trigger was pulled, and with the sound of a gunshot, the bullet that came out of the disembowel accurately hit the target at a distance of 100 meters.

Then, Luo Ji skillfully removed the cartridge casing, loaded the bullet, and then continued to shoot.

Obviously, he has already played with this rifle quite slippery, and the one in his hand at this time is the latest research result of the Ordnance Research Department.

Of course, it is said that it is the latest research results, but in fact, the range, power and accuracy are basically not much different from before, because the biggest difference is not in the performance at all, but in the cost!

If the manufacturing cost of the original rifle is defined as the number five, then the manufacturing cost of the rifle in Luo Ji's hand at this time is the number three.

He can now build almost two rifles that cost him.

The reason why this low cost can be achieved is naturally due to the racial talent of the goblins.

As we all know, goblins are very good at reducing costs, and they can even cut the manufacturing cost of a device in half, and then create a device that is basically not inferior in power and performance to the original, and it is completely talented in black technology.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that low-cost devices are manufactured, and occasionally there will be some glitches, and there will be a fault DeBuff......

But there's still no denying the sheer nature of this talent.

It's a talent, and it's not something anyone can do.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Luo Ji handed over this matter to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan could not say that she could make a rifle that was not inferior to the original in terms of performance while cutting half the materials.

At this time, the rifle in Luo Ji's hand was undoubtedly a typical low-cost rifle, but it was not the same as the original low-cost equipment of the goblin civilization.

Just like all instruments generally have design drawings, the low-cost equipment researched by goblins naturally has design drawings.

Still take the low-cost rifle in Luo Ji's hand as an example, if you want to build it, you can only follow the design drawings, otherwise you will not be able to trigger the effect, either the performance will be greatly reduced, or it will directly fail to be manufactured and become a pile of rags.

And under this premise, the powerful place comes.

Luo Ji first asked Jiang Zhan (goblin), deputy director of the Ordnance Research Department, to take the original design drawings and study a low-cost design drawing.

After determining that according to the low-cost design drawing, a low-cost rifle could be successfully manufactured, Luo Ji signaled Jiang Zhan to hand over the low-cost design drawing and the manufactured finished product to Ye Xuan, so that Ye Xuan, the top ordnance master of the human race, could improve the low-cost rifle, improve the stability of the low-cost rifle and reduce the probability of failure while controlling the cost.

After this round trip, a new blueprint appeared, improved by two master armorers, the Goblin and the Terran.

The cost of the latest rifle has risen slightly, the original cost of two and five has risen to three, but the performance and power are not inferior to the original version, and the most important thing is that Ye Xuan's successful improvement has made the malfunction DeBuff that originally belonged to the goblin equipment gone.

When Luo Ji received the design drawing, the whole person was almost going crazy with laughter, awesome!

What is the biggest problem with a civilization that limits the number of your troops? To put it simply, two questions......

The first problem is the population problem, if you don't take this into account, blindly conscripting like a fool is likely to lead to the collapse of civilization, so how to balance the number of soldiers in the army and the number of civilized population is very important.

The second problem is the economy, to put it bluntly, it is money, how can you raise soldiers without money?

And the second question, if you divide it into details, the place where you need to spend money to raise soldiers can be roughly divided into three small pieces.

They are the salaries of the soldiers, the daily consumption of food, and the cost of weapons and equipment.

Not to mention the first two items, as long as the final cost of weapons and equipment begins, Luo will be able to save a lot of money as long as he waits for the production of new weapons of this type.

At the same time, this method can also be used in a variety of other equipment, such as steam trains, steam excavators, steam miners, etc......

As long as this batch of design drawings is made, the financial pressure of his Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization can be alleviated!

In this way, Luo Ji, who was in a very happy mood, naturally praised Jiang Zhan and Ye Xuan, and at the same time gave a generous reward quite simply, and asked them to make persistent efforts to quickly get all the weapons of his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization at hand.

As for equipment such as steam engines, they are naturally handed over to the academicians of the Academy of Science and Technology.

At the same time, outside the western border of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, the infantry unit led by Guo Zhen maintained a mobile shooting posture and pressed forward all the way.

In the face of a rain of bullets, even if it is a nimble with rough skin and thick flesh, it is impossible to escape the fate of eating a few more guns.

On this piece of tropical savannah on the western border, a large number of scattered orc groups have basically not been at peace, which also makes the garrison army in the western border far busier than the other frontiers.

However, Guo Zhen, as the general of the Western Frontier, felt that this was a good thing.

These orc groups are often not many in number, less than a dozen, more than dozens, and hundreds of them are rare, so the threat is very limited, just to let the soldiers under his hands accumulate actual combat experience, especially the batch of recruits who were replenished later, there is no blood, what use can it be when it comes to the battlefield?

Just as Guo Zhen was thinking this, in the pile of corpses in the distance, a jackal covered in blood suddenly exploded, and pounced on the soldier closest to him with teeth and claws.

The physique of the orc clan is far superior to that of humans, and its vitality is also extremely tenacious, unless the bullet hits the vital point directly, otherwise, five or six shots may not be able to die.

The soldier was obviously a newly recruited recruit, and this sudden situation directly scared him stupid, and for a while, he didn't move.

At this moment, Guo Zhen, who was standing dozens of meters away at the time, directly picked up the rifle in his hand, and then there was a 'bang' of gunshot, and the bullet that came out of the disembowel directly sank into the jackal's head.

The corpse fell to the ground, and the frightened recruit, after breathing a sigh of relief, sat down directly on the ground with a 'poof'.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing this voice, the recruit subconsciously raised his head, Guo Zhen's cold face suddenly met his eyes, and the huge sense of oppression made his brain instantly turn into a mess.

"General, general, I ......"

"You're still on the battlefield, who will allow you to relax? Who allowed you to sit down?! ”

As he spoke, Guo Zhen's gaze swept over the rifle that had fallen to the side.

The recruit's heart twitched, and he quickly grabbed the rifle in his hand, and struggled to his feet from the ground.

"After returning to the city, I ran 30 laps around the training ground, and then conducted 20 rounds of gun training, and if I couldn't finish it, I didn't have to eat."

As he spoke, Guo Zhen's gaze swept over the other recruits around him, and then he shouted loudly......

"Listen to me, you're on the battlefield now! A hint of relaxation, when the time comes, it will be your life! I don't care if he's dead or not, I'll mend the corpse on the ground, do you understand!? ”

"Understood!!"
