A week later, the valley of the Desperate Mountains.

Since the last napalm test, it has become a new weapons testing ground — it's closer to the North Slope lab, and it's hard to get the attention of the public if there's a lot of noise. With the increasing development of the Hidden Forest, the flow of people coming and going inside and outside the northwest city wall is far from what it used to be, and the previous practice of setting up a quarantine area in the suburban grassland and then testing it is obviously a little inappropriate.

Considering that the power of weapons would grow further in the future, it was only natural that the test site should be relocated.

And this time, what Roland wants to test is the individual anti-devil grenade that he decided to research before.

Due to the progress of the overall industrial level and the preparation of sufficient materials in advance, it took only five days for the weapon to be launched from trial production to actual firing, which can be regarded as the fastest record in the history of the development of the Winterless weapon.

Of course, this is inseparable from the extraordinarily simple structure of the individual grenade itself.

In another world, even the extremists of the five scum can make giant RPGs out of gas canisters and drains, and they can be turned into multi-mounted self-propelled guns with pickups, not to mention Neverwinter, which is supported by a whole industrial system.

"Just aim the bullet at the target and press the trigger, right?" Elfy asked with interest as he rolled up the canister with his tentacles. Obviously, as a former high-ranking saint-blessed warrior, she was full of interest in new firearms, not to mention that this weapon was specially developed for the devil.

It's just that this scene looks a little weird in Roland's eyes.

A sarcoma monster with a huge body and tentacles covered in tentacles is almost a regular in horror stories, some of them shoot light from their eyes, some rely on swords, guns and iron shields, and some rely on powerful suckers and special fluids secreted to fight the brave...... But holding up an RPG? uh...... I always felt that something was not right.

However, letting the original carrier work as a tester is also for safety reasons, once the individual grenade misfires and explodes, the soldiers who operate at close range basically have only one end, even if it is a divine punishment witch, it will not be much better. Only the primordial carrier can reach the tentacles to a safe enough place to avoid tragedy.

"Don't let the tail be on your face or anyone else," Roland coughed twice, "Let's get started." ”

Elfin nodded his beard and pressed the trigger.

A flash of fire instantly burst out of the chamber and flew straight towards the target a hundred meters away.

After making a shallow arc, the warhead hit the target accurately...... Underneath, with a bang, the iron box that had been used as a target rolled backwards twice, seemingly unscathed.

Compared to the bombardment of the fortresses that shook the ground, or the napalm flames that obscured the sky, it was arguably the least dynamic test. In fact, not to mention the flames of the explosion, there was very little dust and rubble that was kicked up, and it was blown away by the mountain wind in less than a few breaths.

"Uh......" The scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

Only Roland smiled, "Go take it and take a look." ”

Soon two witches of divine punishment came running back with iron boxes.

"It's ......"

When everyone looked closely, they noticed that the bottom of the box was white, as if it had been burned by something. The white patches have an inconspicuous hole in the center, about the thickness of three fingers.

"Pierced?" Pasha wondered, "It's not slow when it flies, but it's not that fast, at least it's much more noticeable than a bullet...... The Remand Musket can't penetrate this chest, can it?"

"Even the Mark I heavy machine gun can't do that," Elk leaned over, "This iron coffin is completely modeled after the stone pillar projected by the spider demon, covered with a finger's thick steel plate in each direction, and it won't be so easy to penetrate. By the way, isn't there still a test product in it, open it and take a look. 」

She stretched out two tentacles and lifted the heavy lid of the box, and those present let out a low exclamation.

In order to simulate the devil in the stone pillar, several live chickens were stuffed into the chest in advance and hung on the wall of the box with iron wire. But now, all that was left was a few pieces of broken meat, and a layer of burnt chicken feathers.

"Looks like it's working well," Roland nodded with satisfaction. He wasn't surprised by the result, but it was even more rare for Elf to hit on the first test shot - at least five or six shots, according to his vision.

There are no dazzling flames and deafening roars to be expected, and there is as much light as there is quantity, which is an unbreakable rule. But there is a price to be paid for filling in more equivalents, and the first thing that affects this is the rate of fire.

On the basis of a fixed amount of charge, the larger the warhead, the greater the resistance, and the heavier the warhead, the slower the rate of fire. In order to maximize the hit against the high-level devil, Roland gave up the advantage of the charge on the super-caliber, and the grenade was almost the same size as the forty-millimeter barrel, with a conical front section to reduce friction with the air.

Judging by the results of the shooting, the warhead showed a very good performance in terms of flight speed and stability. Although much smaller than the Iron Fist, the shaped warhead was more than enough to handle a ten-millimeter armor plate—the equivalent thickness of the former, which was about the same thickness as the Devil's Projectile Pillar.

"Do you think this weapon can hit high-level devils?" Roland looked at Pasha and the others.

"Hmm......" The first to speak was Elw, "There are strong and weak in the high-level devils, just like the transcendent and the transcendent, it is difficult to generalize. If it's speed-oriented, or it's a demon slayer, let's be honest...... A head-on hit is unlikely. Even if they see that the grenade has been fired, there is enough time left for them to dodge. But—"

She paused slightly, and her tone rose several times, "This is definitely an epoch-making weapon, Your Majesty, because it has flattened the gap between the devil and mortals, making it possible to win by numbers, and it cannot be praised in any words!"

"That's right," Pasha laughed, "that mortals can hurt high-level devils, something that was almost unimaginable before. If there had been such a weapon in the Tachira era, Nataya-sama would probably wake up laughing in her dreams. 」

"And I've got a way to make it hit a lot higher. Elch waved his beard.

"Oh?" Roland looked at her, "what is it?"

"Let the gods punish the witch to use it. Elf's voice was full of excitement, "The only ones who can keep up with the high-ranking devils are the transcendents—if you shoot in the face, even the most powerful enemy will not be able to dodge this blow!"

"Don't worry, since it's a single weapon, it's natural to strive for one per person," Roland smiled, "Of course, the Divine Punishment Witch is no exception." ”

The next test content is to further improve the power on the basis of ensuring the rate of fire and manufacturing costs, he secretly calculated. In addition, the characteristics of super caliber should not be wasted, high-level devils run fast does not mean that those deformed parasites are also the same, considering that sooner or later they will attack the devil's city, it is not impossible to encounter spider demons in street battles, so it is also necessary to pre-develop new bullet types in advance.

Just as Roland was thinking, the guards suddenly brought a piece of news.

"Your Majesty, the team you sent to Wolfheart has arrived at the river docks, and Lord Sean has returned. ”
