Chapter 183: Runic Weapons (Part II)
The dagger Dai Xin took out was extremely sharp, and every part of the blade had been carefully polished, but it was obvious that it was not made of silver. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Geng Zhiping was a little strange, the rune bracelet was made of silver, and the information from the Far Rescue Society was also very clear, these mysterious runes must be engraved on the silver in order to function, which made silver the only precious metal in Yuanjiang now. Former luxuries like gold, platinum, and diamonds are not worth as much as a loaf of bread today – and perhaps they will rise in value again in the future, but that will be later.
As if seeing Geng Zhiping's doubts, Dai Xin pointed to the handle of the dagger and said: "We have considered using sterling silver to make a dagger, but first, the hardness of silver is really not suitable for making weapons, and second, the blade cannot form a round surface, so we directly used the tactical dagger used by the army for the blade of the dagger." The grip was replaced with 925 silver and re-smelted, with runes engraved on it, and the three grooves were used to hold the brain nucleus. ”
Geng Zhiping secretly sighed smartly, his heart became interested, and seeing that Liu Yuanzhou didn't mean to play with the dagger, he stepped forward and picked it up and weighed it twice, anyway, he had a very good relationship with Liu Yuanzhou, and Professor Dai was not an outsider, so he didn't have to pay too much attention to hypocrisy.
After playing for a few seconds, Geng Zhiping shook his head and sighed: "First of all, the cylindrical grip is not suitable for tactical daggers; Secondly, replacing the handle with silver will affect the center of gravity of the dagger, destroy the overall structure of the dagger design, and reduce the performance of the dagger; Finally, it's not the Middle Ages, Professor Dai, you let us take the dagger and fight the zombies and mutants in close combat, that's not fighting, that's life. ”
Professor Dai pursed his lips implicitly, as if he was laughing, and after listening to Geng Zhiping's words, he took out three brain nuclei from the compartment of his briefcase, handed them to Geng Zhiping, and motioned for him to insert them into the groove of the dagger handle. Geng Zhiping didn't talk nonsense, grabbed the brain core and put it away, turned his wrist and waved the dagger again, and his face changed this time.
Seemingly a little unconfident in his judgment, Geng Zhiping moved the ceramic cup on the table in front of him again, and gently swung a knife towards the ceramic cup, accompanied by an indescribable slight strange sound, the ceramic cup broke into two.
Geng Zhiping's eyes widened, and he picked up the upper half of the section that flew out, the section was smooth and neat, and he couldn't tell that it was cut with a dagger, and he only used three points of force just now!
"You, this! Wait a minute. Geng Zhiping said a few words incoherently, hurriedly lifted the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the rune bracelet inside, took out three brain cores and put them on the bracelet, and then slashed Liu Yuanzhou's solid wood desk with a dagger in his hand.
The cold light flashed, and when the knife light landed, there was a "click", a large piece was missing from the corner of the desk, and the section was still smooth, Geng Zhiping was dumbfounded, this is a dagger!
"When these mysterious runes come into play, some flaws in the production process can basically be ignored." Dai Xin raised his chin slightly, and after enduring so many white eyes, he was finally able to raise his eyebrows today, which was really happy, "But what Captain Geng said is not wrong, no matter how sharp the dagger is, it is impossible for the soldiers to use the dagger to fight zombies and mutants." ”
"But this is just the beginning, which proves that our thinking is correct, from now on we will put aside the idea of analyzing its working principle for the time being, focus on imitation, application, I believe that new results will be available soon." Now that we can make rune daggers, it proves that runic weapons are possible! Speaking of this, Dai Xin's cheeks flushed, and his assistants with heavy dark circles also looked excited, "Team Geng, now we can make rune daggers, and we may not be able to make rune guns, rune cannons, and rune missiles in the future!" ”
"Let's not say that this time it's probably a shit luck, even if it is done in the future, it doesn't make much sense." Geng Zhiping put down the dagger, shook his head and poured cold water, "You may really not understand the weapons and equipment of the modern army, even if you make rune guns and rune cannons that can increase the power of ammunition, it really doesn't make much sense to find more powerful equipment in the army." ”
"Nope."
It was not Dai Xin who spoke out against it, but Liu Yuanzhou, and Geng Zhiping looked at Liu Yuanzhou in surprise.
"You have made great contributions to Yuanjiang and the country that others cannot match." Liu Yuanzhou glanced at Dai Xin deeply and affirmed his work results, "There are powerful weapons, such as cloud burst bombs, neutron bombs, and nuclear bombs, but the use restrictions and killing range of those weapons are too large, and the use of weapons cannot be arbitrarily measured by power and destructive power." Runic weapons, significant! ”
Geng Zhiping is a veteran who has been on the battlefield, and after Liu Yuanzhou mentioned this, he quickly reacted that the rune weapon was indeed not as bad as he said.
It is true that no matter how much these mystical runes can increase the power of weapons, more powerful weapons will be found in the army, but those weapons may not be easy to carry or use.
Destructive power is never the only criterion for considering the quality of a weapon, and if you want to make a weapon suitable for use on the battlefield, you not only need to have a certain amount of power, but also look at other indicators and performance. For example, the AK47 is famous not because of its excellent workmanship and powerful power, but because of its low price, low failure rate, easy maintenance, easy to learn and use, reliable performance, simple structure, easy to disassemble and reassemble. Even a recruit who has never touched a firearm can be powerful if he touches his hands and fires a few shots. It is for these reasons that it has taken the world by storm and has become the most popular weapon used in local wars around the world.
So think about it the other way around, how much does a rune dagger and a rune bracelet add to the combat effectiveness of an elite soldier? As far as hand-to-hand combat is concerned, it is counted many times. You must know that zombies and mutants can not be used as targets at all times, when zombies and mutants suddenly appear nearby, or encounter enemies in a small and confined space, and it is too late to use heavy weapons and can only pull out tactical daggers or tactical pistols for melee combat, the bonus of a rune weapon can determine the difference between life and death.
If you think about it a little deeper, ace teams like Falcon and Dawn, composed of awakened and elite warriors, often struggle to carry a large number of heavy weapons for long journeys when carrying out the task of hunting mutants, at most carrying light machine guns, grenade launchers, and flamethrowers. In this case, equipping them with runic weapons will greatly increase their hunting efficiency and the survival rate of their warriors.
If you think about it, high-power weapons are often intricate and complex, and if you want to use a heavy artillery, you have to rely on a heavily trained artillery to use it correctly. And what about runic weapons? It's easy for ordinary soldiers to use!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Professor Dai and the others can really develop rune guns and rune cannons, and popularize them in the army in mass production, then the 258th Division can easily push the black domain and recover the whole Yuanjiang!
