Chapter 20: Our Luck
On the second day of the meeting, a convoy squad encountered Diagonal Soldiers in the Wasteland City, and an encounter took place, resulting in three deaths and a great defeat!
Liu Jing had to order the escorts to return to the base for the time being, waiting for Feng Chen's new weapons.
…… Near the shelter base. According to Feng Chen's request, a brand-new weapons test site was transformed. It was originally a deserted square, surrounded by buildings of high and low heights. After the renovation, most of these buildings were painted with various symbols - they all became test subjects or targets.
Feng Chen stood in the center, surrounded by Liu Jing and other heads of several shelters, as well as the guards brought by Ptolemy, most of them looked serious and listened to Feng Chen's explanation: "...... This weapon is called an electromagnetic gun, and Ptolemy will demonstrate it for you later. The electromagnetic gun uses electricity as an energy source and uses electromagnetic force to shoot magnetic bullets to cause a lethal effect. The bulge on the back of the gun is the power supply module of the electromagnetic gun, which can support at least a week of fighting, and needs to be replaced as soon as possible after the battery is depleted; Here's the magazine......"
Feng Chen fiddled with the electromagnetic gun and explained the structure of the latter to everyone in detail.
The electromagnetic gun, also known as the Gauss gun, has been featured in games such as Fallout and StarCraft, and is said to be more than three times more lethal than traditional guns, with extremely high accuracy and reliability. This is also one of the most advanced individual weapons that the mother machine can produce at present, and it is logical that it was selected by Feng Chen.
The electromagnetic gun is silver-gray throughout, and the rear half of the butt, magazine, power supply module and other structural lines are capable and very ergonomic, whether it is handheld or shoulder-carried, it will fit very well, and the front section of the barrel is square, which should be something like an acceleration coil.
Liu Jing seemed to like the shape of the electromagnetic gun very much, and as soon as Feng Chen finished introducing it, she took the electromagnetic gun, looked down for a long time and said, "It's very beautiful, and it's heavy enough." But what about the power? ”
Weapons, no matter what the appearance is, people are most concerned about lethality.
Feng Chen had created a total of two new weapons this time, and he hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be okay to test the electromagnetic gun first, so he said, "Then let's try it." ”
Ptolemy, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over slowly, he had seen two new weapons last night, and Feng Chen explained to him in detail how to use them, so that he could test them. At this moment, Ptolemy looked worried, took the electromagnetic gun from Liu Jing's hand, smoothly confirmed the magazine situation, activated the power supply module, turned on the safety, he looked at the weapon in his hand, and said with great emotion: "New weapon...... Most of the time it will be dangerous...... It can explode, there can be all kinds of accidents, that's why the bravest people need to experiment......"
Then Bachar suddenly said, "I can come too." ”
"No way!" Ptolemy seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, jumped to the side with a scream, and even made an exaggerated gesture of starting hands, seeing that Bachar was standing in place and did not move at all, Ptolemy blushed and said with a smile: "Uh...... How could I, Ptolemy, push it to someone else for such a dangerous thing? Am I that kind of person? Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I'm going to test it, sir! ”
After saying that, he happily entered the firing position.
Feng Chen and Liu Jing glanced at each other helplessly.
Although the principle is different from that of traditional firearms, electromagnetic guns also have recoil. Therefore, Ptolemy, who had long been warned by Feng Chen, took a horizontal shot. The target was a wall about 700 meters away in front of the crowd, on which Bachar drew a large × and a ○ on the outside of the ×.
Ptolemy took a slight aim, pulled the trigger, and the sound of gunfire rang out suddenly. In the dim sunlight, several bullet chains faintly appeared, everyone immediately looked at the target in the distance, only to see a bowl-sized pit suddenly appeared on the huge wall, and some debris fell immediately, and then, more craters appeared, quickly covering the entire wall, as if the lake surface of the rain was falling, and the debris continued to burst out like water droplets splashed on a rainy day, and soon accumulated a thick layer in the corner of the wall, and half a minute later, the wall collapsed!
The clatter of gunfire immediately stopped, Ptolemy's eyes widened, and after a moment he could not help but say, "I'll go!" Awesome! ”
Everyone was a little stunned, Feng Chen had said before that the new weapon would have a larger attack range and stronger lethality, but who would have thought that it would be such a scene in front of him? The distance of seven hundred meters is already beyond the attack range of the bow and arrow, as for the lethality? If you hit a pit the size of a bowl on the wall, what about hitting a person?
It was Liu Jing who came back to her senses first, looked at Feng Chen and said, "How did you choose your weapon?" That's amazing! I couldn't think of it at all...... The new weapon has this power! ”
Zhao Yali beside her nodded again and again, feeling that Liu Jing's words had gone to her heart.
Feng Chen was a little embarrassed, he just browsed the weapon interface and clicked a few buttons to make the electromagnetic gun, which was really not up to Liu Jing's praise. He blushed slightly and said, "Actually, the role of the electromagnetic gun in the escort team in the future is similar to the current sword, which is a short-range weapon. The more powerful and long-range weapon is the electromagnetic cannon over there. ”
Undoubtedly, everyone's attention immediately shifted to the electromagnetic gun.
The electromagnetic cannon produced by the mother machine is a thing about the size of a mortar, and the structure is also very simple, a round barrel with some thickness, a bracket, a circular chassis, and a parameter inputer, and then it is gone. By entering the parameters, the electromagnetic gun can automatically adjust the angle of fire, and the soldier only needs to reload and press the launch button. The whole process is very simple, so setting up the parameters requires some practice.
Ptolemy reluctantly handed over the electromagnetic gun, set up the electromagnetic gun, he used the knowledge he learned last night to set the parameters, the buzzing sound sounded, under the effect of the chassis, the electromagnetic gun adjusted its attitude, and then, Ptolemy put in the cannonball, pressed the launch button.
With a bang, the cannonball flew out with a wake, drawing a beautiful trajectory. Everyone clearly saw the figure of the cannonball falling, and immediately, a small two-story building in the distance was covered in the explosion, and the flames rose violently with smoke, like a demon that had been released, and did not intend to disperse for a long time. At the rumbling explosion, the ground under everyone's feet seemed to tremble.
When the fire cleared, the two-story building was gone.
Many of the guards swallowed softly. It is hard for them to imagine how they can survive such a blow on the battlefield.
Feng Chen was also quite shocked to see it, he used to be a social animal, how could he see the shelling scene with his own eyes? After reading it, he had to admit that explosions, especially explosions with sufficient yields, do have an indescribable beauty, and the soaring firelight and rising black smoke are all the magic of the laws of nature......
Just as he sighed, as soon as Feng Chen looked up, he saw a handsome face of Ptolemy, but unfortunately this handsome face had a flattering expression at the moment, which seemed a little obscene.
Feng Chen took a step back and said vigilantly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng! Hey! Ptolemy snorted: "Is our relationship good?" ”
Feng Chen thought about it slightly: "It's not good. ”
Ptolemy was already immersed in his own world: "Well, that's it, we have a good relationship, you can help, how about a few thousand pairs of electromagnetic guns and electromagnetic guns?" ”
"Hey! Are you listening to me? ”
"Hey, that's it! A few thousand pairs, not many ......"
"Ptolemy! You sober up! ”
On the side, Liu Jing and Zhao Yali quietly watched Ptolemy pestering Feng Chen. Zhao Yali suddenly said: "I have to say, the new weapon is really powerful...... she paused and said: "Feng Chen can come to our shelter, it is really a blessing for all of us. ”
Liu Jing smiled and nodded, and turned to Bachar and said, "Let's reformulate the battle plan." ”
Bachar had expected this, and nodded calmly.
