Hunter Academy Chapter 81 The First Lesson
The short break passed quickly.
The group in Xia Yuan's dormitory are now in the classrooms of the academy, and they are about to start the first class of the real university.
This class is a ranged weapons class, which means that it mainly teaches the use of some firearms.
The teacher looks like a middle-aged man, and his middle-aged appearance shows that the teacher is at least four or five hundred years old, with a serious expression and a pair of eagle-like eyes that are sharp and domineering.
"Hello students, I am the teacher of your remote weapons class, responsible for teaching you the use of some firearms, my name is Indo, you can call me Teacher Indo."
"Hello Teacher Indo."
The students of Class 3 greeted him in unison.
Indo nodded.
"Let me briefly talk about the meaning and content of this course."
"After being a hunter, many missions need to go to the primeval forest wilderness, where there are many powerful mutant beasts."
"The hunter's task may be to find some precious plants, or rare ores, or to hunt and capture rare mutant beasts."
"This is indispensable to conflict with mutant beasts, we are human beings, human beings with intelligent civilization, compared with mutant beasts, our bodies are far inferior, but we have a stronger advantage, that is, our technological weapons."
"Firearms are a weapon that has been indispensable and prosperous since the development of human science and technology."
"Firearms have been the most important weapon for individual soldiers since they appeared."
"And the easiest external power for us hunters is the firearm, the power of the gun is extremely long-range, and it is simple to use, and it only consumes some ammunition."
"An ordinary person can easily kill mutated creatures with a firearm."
"Of course, this is on the premise of hitting the vital point, and the mutant beasts in the wild will not stand there stupidly and be a target for you."
"The long-range weapons class is a very important course, in which I will train you to be proficient in the use of all kinds of firearms, from basic aiming and shooting to mobile shooting, preview and so on."
"As far as we in Yellowstone are concerned, half of the official and elite hunters use firearms as their main weapons."
"Of course, this is not to say that melee strength is not important, although firearms have all kinds of advantages, but the disadvantages are also fatal."
"Some mutant beasts are extremely fast, and some are good at stealth sneak attacks, and the role of firearms will be greatly limited when encountering these situations, and once they are close to mutant beasts, the effect of firearms will be even more minimal."
"So the melee class should also be taken well, but there is a saying among hunters, that is, it can be solved with a gun, never melee, melee is the last resort."
"Even if you are a hunter with strong melee strength, you can't miss a gun."
The students below all nodded in understanding.
Yingduo is not wrong at all, the price of ordinary firearms widely circulated in the imperial market is generally not high, depending on the type, there are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.
Even the most common and cheapest kinetic gun is powerful enough to kill and injure mid-level mutant beasts, even the poorest hunters can use it.
In contrast, the armor that can allow an ordinary person to fight with a mid-level mutant beast in close combat must be at least industrial-grade, and the industrial-grade armor starts at a million.
For the average hunter, it is enough to have a good set of consumer-grade armor with a certain amount of self-protection, and then attack and use firearms.
"Now I'm going to talk about the guns that are in circulation in the Imperial Market."
"Generally, there are three main types of firearms that we can buy directly, Gauss guns, electromagnetic pulse guns, and kinetic guns."
"Gauss gun, is a magnetic field weapon, equipped with a special magnetic bullet, powerful, and low noise, generally speaking, the longer the barrel of the Gauss gun, the stronger the magnetic field can be generated, the stronger the bullet will be, plus the longer its magnetic field charging time, the stronger the strength of the magnetic field, so the Gauss weapon is most suitable for use as a sniper rifle."
"The electromagnetic pulse gun is somewhat similar to the principle of Gauss weapons, but it is different, it also uses a coil, but the electromagnetic gun is to pay attention to the current and high voltage gathered by the coil, generate high-frequency radio waves in a resonant way, and then emit an electromagnetic pulse, the power of this gun is also not small, especially against flesh and blood creatures."
"The consumption of these two weapons is a charged magazine, the magazine is mainly a high-energy battery, and you can also directly use energy crystals, to be honest, the consumption is quite large, and the consumption is relatively expensive."
"A standard low-level energy spar contains 10,000 degrees of energy, and the standard shooting of the Gauss gun needs to consume about 10 degrees of energy, and if it is charged to shoot, it will consume up to 100 degrees of energy."
"In other words, a standard low-grade energy hedron can provide a thousand standard shots from the Gauss gun, or a hundred strongest shots."
"It's the same with the EMP gun, a basic shot consumes ten degrees of energy."
"The capacity of the charged magazine is different, from 1,000 kWh to millions of kWh, depending on what you buy."
"Everyone should know this price, a standard low-level energy spar is 10,000 credits, and the charged magazine is about the same according to the capacity."
"Then there is the kinetic gun, the kinetic gun can be said to be the ancestor of firearms, the power of the kinetic gun mainly depends on the bullets used, the power of different calibers is also different, plus a variety of bullets, there will also be different effects."
"Although the kinetic gun is practical, it has a lot of shortcomings, that is, the magazine limit, the gun is too loud, and the recoil, but the price of ordinary bullets is not high, about one credit point."
"But some special bullets, such as armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, etc., can cost hundreds or even thousands."
Indo paused, and the students below spoke like a frying pan.
"It's so expensive, a shot from a Gauss gun and a pulse gun is ten credits, and I will lose money for a meal."
"Kinetic guns aren't cheap, ordinary bullets are better, but special bullets are burning money."
The empire did not ban guns, and most families bought some guns to keep at home.
Many students have touched guns, but they are all parents who bring them, and they don't have to pay for the guns themselves, and they haven't felt how expensive they are.
These students who choose to major in hunters have a lot of exposure to guns, and many students may already have their own guns.
The price of the gun will not be too expensive, maybe hundreds or thousands of people can buy it.
But now after listening to Yingduo's words, I understand that with firearms, the gun itself is not expensive, but the consumption of ammunition.
"Students, although the hunter profession is a high income, the investment in response is also essential."
"There is no shortcut to the use of firearms, you can only practice more and use ammunition to pile up proficiency."
As soon as Yingduo's words fell, there was a wail below.
Gun training is not a simple matter, there are not thousands of rounds, and the accuracy is not so easy to improve, let alone mobile shooting, pre-aiming and other difficult shooting.
Although there are many opportunities to practice in schools, it is not possible to provide unlimited ammunition for students to practice, and their tuition fees do not cover the costs.
"You don't have to worry too much about the cost of ammunition practice, the academy uses a combination of virtual world and real training."
"In the virtual world, it can be simulated to 98% of the reality of reality, and the use of various firearms is basically the same as reality, and you can practice without restrictions."
"After practicing to a certain extent in the virtual world, we will practice a certain amount of live-ammunition in reality."
"This can improve your accuracy at the lowest cost, but although you don't have to worry about the cost of ammunition in the virtual world, the energy consumption required to open the virtual world is not small."
"So you can use the virtual world for free only when you are in class, and the price of using the virtual world is usually 100 credits per hour, so please cherish your time in class and don't be lazy."
"Virtual world?"
Xia Yuan was a little puzzled, the virtual world should be the virtual galaxy he logged in with the terminal, and the price should not be so expensive.
Xia Yuan secretly pulled Hank and asked, "Is this virtual world so expensive?" Isn't it possible to log in to our usual terminals? ”
"It's different, after logging into the virtual world on our home terminals, the characters we use are completely virtual, just some data, which is different from the real body.
But the school's teaching terminal scans the real data of your body, so that your body in the virtual world is no different from the real world, so that you can practice the skills you have mastered in the virtual world and master them with a little familiarity in the real world. ”
"Is that so?" Xia Yuan nodded.
Xia Yuan also has a doubt, the empire's technology is very developed, it is enough to travel through the galaxy, such a level of technology, there should not be only these three guns.
Even when they were on Earth, theoretical experiments such as laser weapons, particle weapons, and so on had already appeared.
In terms of the scientific and technological level of the empire, it will definitely be able to be put into use,
These weapons should be more powerful.
But Yingduo didn't mention it, Xia Yuan thought that when he bought equipment at the Hunter's House, he really only saw these three kinds of guns, or just some auxiliary guns, like electric shocks. Guns or something.
"Teacher Indo, does the empire only have these three kinds of guns, there should be more powerful weapons."
Xia Yuan raised his hand and asked.
"This question—" Indo frowned, it was a matter of common sense, so he didn't say it.
But when he saw Xia Yuan, he immediately recognized him.
Xia Yuan can now be said to be known to everyone among the teachers of the Hunter Academy, the seed of a king-level hunter that is rare in a hundred years.
Of course, it is just that it is rare to say in a hundred years, in fact, two years ago, there was also a new student who was known as the seed of a king-level hunter.
That is Caroline, when she first entered the school, she also attracted the teachers to coax, but she failed several consecutive assessments, which made the teachers a little disheartened with her.
Facing this Xia Yuan, who showed higher potential than Caroline, Yingduo's love for talent made him feel a lot.
In addition, Xia Yuan is an ancestral star, and some things really don't know much.
Indo specially explained the reason for him.
The Empire does have more advanced and powerful firearms, and it is precisely because they are more advanced that the Empire has imposed certain restrictions on these weapons.
Only those who have become a nobleman of the Empire, or who have reached the Master level, can purchase these weapons and equipment through certain stores.
