Chapter 8 Making Weapons
The passage of time is neither fast nor fast, nor slow. However, when you are immersed in something, you will find that time flies; At the same time, this happens when you waste your time, decadent and indulgent.
It's March 29, the third day of East Point Registration Day.
In the past few days, Ike has been in his own home, making weapons one by one by himself according to the old weapon drawings provided by the "Saiko" light brain.
That's right, the arms he sells are all made with his own hands, without using any high technology. Not to mention the light brain, not even a stamping module is used.
It's because he made it himself, he just bit so tightly when he was bargaining, and it's not cheap, and he really needs money urgently.
It is a 60-square-metre room, spacious in itself, but at the moment it is filled with numerous metal ingots and fine woods. There are several portraits of Ike on the walls, but they are all full of bullet marks.
Leaning against the window, there is a rectangular metal workbench with many delicate parts on the surface, and springs and knobs are scattered irregularly around it.
Hunched over the workbench, Ike was expressionless, his eyes extremely serious.
His hand speed was fast, and his arm shadow flew up, turning into an afterimage. The two fingers are flexible, and they continue to extrude and deform many metal ingots, and at the same time use a small chrome alloy file to continuously polish. The wood was cut with a sharp knife, then cut into pieces, and in the end, it was left just to make a small piece of shrapnel.
He gently picked up the shrapnel with two fingers, then stuffed it into a box and gently crushed it so that it was embedded in it.
Then he picked up a knife in his left hand and a large glass block on the ground with his right hand. The knife quickly plunged into the glass, then twisted.
Wiping, picking, drilling, sharpening, rubbing, grinding, and scratching, a series of coherent movements flutter on his hands, like art. His hands were so fast that it seemed to give life to the ordinary knife.
A huge block of glass was cut into several thin lenses in an instant, and the glass shards on the ground disappeared.
This is due to the absorption function of the "Saiko", which automatically stores things in other spaces and keeps them completely safe. Compared to other space storage, this feature has the advantage of being fully automatic and able to absorb large storage volumes.
The "click" lens is embedded in the double conical barrel, and the knob is adjusted and the scope is assembled.
Another shadow of his hand flickered, and Ike's fingers kept moving in and out of the pile of parts, sometimes pinching a firing pin, and then pinching a brake.
A series of parts were quickly pinched in his hands, and then assembled in the air.
With the knob, brake and scope, the rear grip raised, the magazine plugged in, and the silencer inserted, a 1.3-meter-long gun was completely built.
The gun looked like a turret, but was much flatter. The barrel was very long, accounting for more than half of the length of the entire gun. The delicate knob-like optical sight reflects a different kind of metallic luster, which is full of beauty. The barrel also has a silencer and flame suppressor with long curved holes at the beginning of the barrel.
This old weapon, known as the AS50, is an anti-materiel sniper rifle that uses BMG rounds. It was incredibly powerful hundreds of years ago, and even now, its name is known.
Gently stroking the weapon he made himself, the metallic body of the gun gives people an infinite feeling of coldness. There was a visible flame burning in Ike's eyes, like looking at a lover he loved.
"This one should be pretty much there." He smiled slightly, turned on the light brain analyzer on his left arm, and gave instructions to it.
"Saiko welcomes the master in." It's still the same cold voice as ever, but there are many differences between "Saiko" and other light brains.
"Test if the weapon is qualified!" Holding AS50 in his arms, Ike muttered softly, "This time must be passed!" ”
"Testing" A burst of data aperture enveloped the gun, and the cold voice continued to sound, "...... After testing, the gun was qualified. ”
"It's finally qualified." Ike breathed a sigh of relief, "Report back to me on the details." ”
"This gun you're building is a semi-automatic anti-materiel sniper rifle developed before AS50,329 with a gas-conductive construction.
Due to your skillful manufacturing skills and the use of rare metals, it is much more resistant to wear. It is even able to withstand the attack of its own bullets without damage. ”
To defend against the attack of its own bullets, is it a bullet shooting, and the initial kinetic energy of the bullet is 15000J. Ike quickly understood what "Saiko" meant, but she was very forgiving.
"That's not bad!" Ike nodded, but felt a wave of fatigue hit him, and he closed his eyes and sat down on the ground. Holding the gun he had just made, he leaned back without looking at anything.
"Pop" a bunch of guns fell and almost buried him alive.
This is a bunch of AS50s, there are more than a hundred, all of them are guns he has made before, but none of them meet the qualification requirements of "Saiko".
The technique of making weapons by individual soldiers is recorded in the "Saiko", which is called "grinding spears". Once this technology is mastered to the depths, it will greatly develop a person's physical potential and mental strength, and at that time, it can even build a space battleship by himself.
But the requirements are also very demanding, so Ike can only pile one gun after another aside, constantly trying to "sharpen the gun" technique, and finally succeeded in a small step today.
Not to mention these more than a hundred guns. If you add the previous ones, the AS50 made by Ike adds up to more than 2,000 branches.
And these guns are stored in the space of "Saiko", and sometimes they are taken out and sold.
Pressed by nearly 60 sniper rifles, Ike slept in it as if he was fine, and he still snorted when he was fine, and seemed to sleep extremely sweetly.
Suddenly, he rolled over on one side, and the whole person pushed the gun pile up.
The pile of guns lost its balance again, and one gun after another pressed down like dumplings, covering him tighter.
"Huh?" Being pressed like this, Ike finally woke up after falling into a deep sleep.
With a kick that pressed his gun away, he stood up as if nothing had happened. Looking out the window, it was already dark at night.
"What time is it?" He looked at the "Saiko", which showed that it was 3 a.m.
"It's so late." Ike snorted, he had just woken up, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of sleep.
Turning his head to look at the more than 100 of his masterpieces, "If you sell them all, how much money will you make!" ”
He couldn't help but pout, "It's a pity that there aren't so many buyers." However, it is purely handmade, and the fee should be higher! ”
It is now the twenty-fourth century, and mankind has fully entered the interstellar age, and weapons have also developed to advanced laser types.
The current people, unless they are particularly nostalgic collectors, that Boss Zhao is; Or for hunting, otherwise who would come back to take care of his old arms business.
Compared to laser weapons, old munitions did have many shortcomings.
Today's laser sniper rifles have extremely strong shooting accuracy and can complete sniper missions tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away.
In addition, the beam travels in a straight line, and the ammunition used in the laser gun has a special anti-polarization treatment, so that the sniper rifle can make the soldier shoot hundreds of shots on the battlefield.
And an old-time weapon like the AS50 has a range of only 2500 meters. Although its accuracy is good, the recoil is very high when shooting, even with the brakes installed.
It's not that it will hurt people, but it will make people's hands tremble, which will affect the shooting.
At the same time, after the bullet is discharged, it will be affected by unstable factors such as wind direction, which will greatly interfere with its flight trajectory.
Compared with the two, the natural advantages and disadvantages are obvious. And the old weapon also has an Achilles' heel, bullets are more likely to deflect than light in space, and will be interfered with by various gravitational fields. This is unimaginable in today's era of the universe.
However, laser weapons also have disadvantages, they consume too much energy, so the cost is relatively high.
But now is the time for humanity to explore the stars on a grand scale, and who cares about this money.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning. My own AS50 is different from those old weapons, and it can still be used, but the power is a little low.
This AS50 used to be able to burst the armor of tanks and armored vehicles, but it can't do much damage to the current mainstream weapon, mechas.
For individual forces, the armor of the Blue Defender can't resist, but it's helpless against the exoskeleton armor of the bayonet series.
What to do, switching to large-caliber bullets is undoubtedly the easiest and most effective way.
Ike gently laid the as50 flat on the workbench as if he were the woman he loved.
"Maybe, I should do something!" He took some electronic components and special metal controls from the metal box next to him and got to work.
It was bright outside the window, and tonight was the time of the full moon of Phobos.
For a long time, the morning sun slowly rose from the horizon.
Ike stood up from the workbench, stretched slightly, and looked at "Saiko", it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
And the gun on the workbench is the same as the AS50 before it. It's just that there are a lot more delicate parts in the scope, and the caliber of the barrel has almost doubled, apparently replaced.
"Let's call you as51!" Looking at his masterpiece, he nodded in satisfaction and put it into the space of "Saiko".
