Chapter 859: Breech Gun Solid Shell
Wang Lu's interest increased greatly, and he clapped his hands heavily: "This idea is good, based on the cliff mountain, self-sufficient, not relying on the sky or the earth, it is necessary to have such a spiritual leader." Come on, come on, what do you think, just open up and talk to me. β
The young man saluted with his arms on his chest: "Yes, Captain Wang, I recently trial-produced a cannon, I want you to take a look." β
Wang Lu said in a loud voice: "What are you waiting for, come on, help this young man get the cannon, by the way, find more zombies and see the power of this homemade cannon." β
After a while, the young man, with a few staff members of the mechanical department, pushed a cannon, a - I went, a breech gun!
Wang Lu is sure that his eyes are fine, the difference between the breech gun and the breech gun is still obvious, the young man pushed to the shooting range is a straight metal tube, although it is not as thin as the Qing Dynasty "Shenwei General Cannon" that Wang Lu often sees in major scenic spots, but just by looking at the back there are no bolts, gates and other parts, you know that this is a breech cannon that can no longer be really!
For a moment, Wang Lu wondered if he had crossed over, not in the apocalyptic world, but in the Braided Dynasty.
What the young man did next made Wang Lu even more devastating, only to see that he took a silk medicine bag, stuffed it through the muzzle, and then stabbed it with a wooden stick, and then put in another cannonballβwell, this cannonball is not spherical, but a bit like a miniature thermos, except that the warhead is flat, not the usual cone-shaped.
After all, this breech gun has a firing mechanism, instead of leaving a fuse on the fire door like the braided chao, otherwise. Wang Lu had to scold.
But the young man didn't know what to do, and he looked at Wang Lu's elongated face like a donkey, and said to Wang Lu respectfully: "Trouble Captain Wang to line up the zombies a little tighter." β
Wang Lutie's face was blue, and he gave an order with his brain waves, and more than 50 zombies in front of him were crowded side by side.
The young man began to aim - it was a fucking direct aim, there was no aiming equipment, but there was a simple three-point-line crosshair on the gun.
As soon as the fire rope was pulled, there was a bang, and the cannon body was one behind, and Wang Lu raised his eyes and looked--dumbfounded.
There was no explosion. There was no fire. No smoke, no shrapnel - your sister, it's a solid bullet!
However, it is such a solid bullet. In the zombie group, there is a flesh alley that pierces the front and back! Where the shrunken thermos shells go. The zombie flesh was all beaten in pairs. Wang Lu saw that half of the zombie's body at the front was almost torn in half from the waist, and the muscles and bones on the left were gone. It staggered as if trying to get to its feet, and eventually fell to the ground. And the zombies behind it are not much better, there are almost 6 zombies in front and back, all of which were split in half by this solid bullet.
The young man ordered someone to retrieve the cannonball that had passed through the zombie horde and hit the cliff face, and the shell had turned into a lump. He said to Wang Lu: "Captain Wang, this solid cartridge breech cannon was specially designed by me for the physiological characteristics of zombies. The reason why the style of the breech gun is used is because the breech gun processing method is simple, and there is no need to consider the manufacturing of bolts, gun locks, air seals, rifling processing and other issues, because although we now have high-precision processing lathes in our hands, these lathes can be worn out once, and the knives are difficult to update, and the breech guns can even be cast in extreme cases, which is very material and labor-saving. And the solid bullet, is better than the current flowering bomb, the grenade commonly used in the army, mainly rely on the shock wave and shrapnel to hurt people, but for the zombies, there is not much lethality at all, like personnel kill bombs, is to rely on the small steel balls in the body of the bullet to kill, if the zombies wear a pressure cooker, the small steel balls will completely lose their power. But the solid bullet is different, it can cause the greatest damage to the human body, the zombie cluster attack is the most terrifying, but the solid bullet can exert the greatest power in the face of such a cluster attack. A shot out is a bloody alley. What's more, the shells can also be recycled and reused, which is very important for our lack of raw materials. β
Wang Lu had already smiled on his face, and patted the young man's shoulder again and again: "Okay, good, we Yashan just need innovative talents like you, by the way, what are you called......"
Li Bo said beside him: "This young man's name is Wu Ping, he is the newly appointed chief engineer of our Machinery Department, and he is currently presiding over the research and development of new weapons, and the explosive bullet and breech gun are all ideas he came up with. β
As soon as Wang Lu heard the name Wu Ping, he understood that he was an international student at the California Institute of Technology who came back from the United States with Xie Yaguo. In Wang Lu's office, there is a file about Wu Ping, which records his self-described past and his position in the Yashan Machinery Department. Fortunately, Li Bo is not a person who likes to seize power, seeing that Wu Ping is capable, he reported to Wang Lu, and directly mentioned that he was the chief engineer, and he was happy to live happily with Xu Weiwei, and he was now busy making great causes.
Wu Ping has only been in Yashan for a few months, and he immediately entered the core power layer of Yashan with his own ability, which is not surprising, because if you are not afraid of blushing, Yashan really has no talents, Wang Lu is needless to say, the good point is the uncrowned king, and the ugly point is the code word migrant workers, Li Bo and Qiu Weiqin are a bit of real material, but they are not outstanding talents, in the original unit, they are also marginalized, and the rest such as Che Yongbo, Sha Qing, Sha Lin, Zhu Yazhen, Wang Bomin, are the eldest sons of the short people, and they made up the numbers. Those who are really powerful are Feng Haiqi and Zhou Chunyu. But even if they are, they are still far from the standard of "elite". But Wu Ping, whether it is from the standard evaluation of the pre-apocalyptic world or the present, except that he is not a supernatural person, he is a veritable elite, and he has a place for use in any survivor settlement. So it is not surprising that he has risen ahead in a very short period of time.
Such a person should be of great use, let it go!
Wang Lu announced on the spot that the personnel involved in the research and development of the machinery department would be paid three months' salary as a bonus. And Li Bo and Wu Ping have each increased their salaries by one level because of their meritorious work in presiding over the research, and I hope that everyone will make persistent efforts to make better and more suitable weapons for Yashan. Zombies are no longer a threat to Wang Lu and Yashan, but no one will think that the big stick in their hands is thick. In the final analysis, Wang Lu appreciated Wu Ping's spirit of taking the initiative to contribute to Yashan.
Wang Lu made important instructions on the work of the Machinery Department from a high vantage point, and then left in the midst of everyone's farewell.
When he couldn't see Wang Lu's back, Li Bo pulled Wu Ping and hurriedly turned to a corner of the shooting range, and Li Bo said, "Xiao Wu." What's the matter with you. A person who usually looks at you quite cleverly, why did you make a mess today? β
Wu Ping said lightly: "Li Gong, where did I make a mistake?" Wasn't Captain Wang quite happy when he left? We've even raised our wages. β
Li Bo heaved and nodded Wu Ping: "You, you." Wu Ping. What is this salary? I'm not a fool. You have something to say, you young man, you have real facts. Sooner or later, you will be in power in this mechanical department, and I will mix up with old seniority and mix some delicious food and drink in Yashan. Don't be sorry, we need talents like you. Today, Captain Wang finally came to the mechanical department, you should bring out all the good things, so that Captain Wang can see your strength, but you can see what you have done? Isn't it a burp to get this solid cannon that fools people out. β
Wu Ping scratched his head: "Where did I fool people, isn't the solid cannon very appreciated by Captain Wang?" β
Li Bo was so angry that he patted Wu Ping's head again: "You kid, you still play with me." The defects of this thing are clear in your heart, this thing is indeed simple to operate, economical to make, even the little cubs under Wang Bi'an can easily get started, but this thing can only be used to fix defense, that is, to deal with zombies These idiots - but we can use Yashan to be afraid of zombies? Fuck, other survivor settlements have to hide from zombies, but in Yashan, under Captain Wang Lu, zombies are our slaves! β
Li Bo nodded at the badge on Wu Ping's neckline: "You are wearing this thing, and you can be regarded as Captain Wang Lu's henchman, don't you still understand Captain Wang Lu's thoughts?" Is his vision limited to zombies and smart corpses? Is it just the walking dead that he really wants to deal with? You lied to him that there has been no progress in the modification of anti-ship missiles so far - hey, not only has there been no progress, but you threw those missiles in the warehouse, didn't even look at them, didn't move! But you must know that what Captain Wang really cares about is these missiles, if these missiles are converted into surface-to-surface missiles, it means that as long as Captain Wang Lu pushes his fingers, the survivor settlements hundreds of kilometers away who dare to resist him will become ashes! What Captain Wang Lu wants is this, what he wants is a weapon of mass destruction in the true sense! β
Wu Ping remained silent: "Minister Li, I originally thought that you were not very in charge of affairs in the ministry, and you even had to go home for dinner at noon, but I didn't expect that you would see everything in your eyes and remember it in your heart." I thought you were patronizing and rolling the sheets with Xu Weiwei's sister-in-law. β
Li Bo glared at him: "Don't talk to Lao Tzu, say, is your kid having convulsions?" Don't think that Captain Wang Lu laughs all day long, but he should know when he deals with Lin Jiu, Captain Wang Lu is ...... Alas, it's not the same as when I first met him. Even I know the little actions you do, can you hide those guys who can do it? They are the real loyal dogs of Captain Wang Lu, pervasive and omniscient. That is, because our mechanical department operates most of the precision instruments, the zombies can only clean up and carry the clumsy raw materials, if the zombies are everywhere like other departments, those small actions you do, Captain Wang Lu can know overnight! β
Wu Ping looked directly at Li Bo: "Then why don't you denounce me?" β
Li Bo kicked Wu Ping angrily: "At this time, you still don't tell the truth?" Do you think Xie Yaguo can keep you? Captain Wang Lu really wants to clean you up, Xie Yaguo, the country's abbot, is a fart! Let me tell you, except for Chen Wei, Wang Bi'an, and Xie Ling, there is no fourth person in this cliff mountain who is not able to be done by Captain Wang Lu! β
Wu Ping looked at Li Bo who was snorting angrily, knowing that this middle-aged man who was a little cowardly and a little strict did not have much real kung fu in his hands, and he was indeed really thinking about himself, he finally let out a long sigh: "I don't mean anything else by doing this, I just want to delay Captain Wang Lu's time to do it to other survivor settlements as much as possible, for example, to deal with those big soldiers in the petrochemical industrial park." β
"Minister Li, I'm coming back from the United States. Do you know who kills the most when we're stuck at the airport? It's not a zombie, it's a human! It's the police, security guards, customs and anti-narcotics officers at those airports! I witnessed that in a waiting hall, because a zombie broke in, the guys with guns, shot all the people inside, to prevent them from being bitten by zombies, turning into new zombies, and when the old people and children were lying in a pool of blood and moaning, they were trying to save bullets. Just use the western knife in the cafΓ©. One by one, they stabbed the dead and wounded into the eye sockets to prevent them from mutating into new zombies after death. In order to survive, they did all kinds of evil! β
"This is not a special case, because of the proliferation of guns in the United States. This scene is playing out all over the United States. Private radio stations prevailed in the United States. As long as you buy a high-power radio. I was able to broadcast to the whole of the United States, unlike in our country, where only government agencies can set up radio stations, so I was stuck in the airport. Listening to the private radio, I learned a lot about the situation outside, people have guns, not to kill zombies, but to kill their neighbors first, because they have to fight for food and water, because they are afraid that they will be infected and affect themselves. β
"Minister Li, why do you think we should risk our lives to return to China? In the United States, because it is relatively vast and sparsely populated, guns and ammunition can be found everywhere, is it not good to stay in the United States? What's more, the United States also has the most developed biochemical technology today, and if it is said that a vaccine has been developed, it should be the Americans, not our country. β
"But we still fought to get back. Because we are convinced that people with guns are more terrible than zombies. In the context of American culture, the probability of a tyrant in the biochemical apocalypse is far greater than that of a Washington! And we, the yellow-skinned and black-eyed outsiders, will become their first slaves and victims. β
"It's a pity that we have come back at the risk of death, only to see in our country that there is a dictatorship in the survivor settlements. When we listened to the scene about Yashan on the radio, we originally thought that Yashan would be different, and thought that Captain Wang Lu had created a unique peach blossom paradise in the last days. But when we rushed to Yashan with great difficulty, ready to use the technology we have mastered to create a better tomorrow for Yashan, we found that Captain Wang Lu was also keen to kill his own compatriots. β
"I can't do more, but I just hope that with the help of one person, a weapon like a missile can be used by Captain Wang Lu as soon as possible. Zombies and smart corpses are our real enemies! β
Li Bo covered Wu Ping's mouth: "Shhh, you kid is crazy, can you say such things publicly?" Forget it if you scold the zombies, the smart corpses - they are smart, they are no longer under the supernatural in Yashan. β
Wu Ping snorted: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" β
Li Bo muttered: "I can't say that, I admire a guy like Lu Qiping...... Okay, don't talk about this, Wu Ping, you're still a little young and vigorous. Captain Wang Lu is already good, and he has no choice but to do many things. Let's just say that Yashan's current system, you haven't seen it, for a while, some guys at the grassroots level were so lazy that they forgot that it was the end of the world, and Captain Wang Lu's wrist should be tough. Let's talk about the way to deal with other settlements in the outside world -- alas, you don't know, Yashan was attacked by a place called Jiayuan before......" Li Bo just wanted to elaborate on the past, and suddenly it occurred to him that this aspect was also recorded in the local annals, but it was unrecognizable. He smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I won't say more, I just want to tell you that many times I don't offend everyone but come to offend me, Captain Wang Lu wants to have a certain ability to fight back, and it is also a matter of course." He is not a person who throws missiles at other people's heads for no reason. β
To be honest, if you change someone else, for an airborne but powerful cadre like Wu Ping, he must wear small shoes everywhere in case his position is unstable, but Li Bo is a talent-loving person, and he really hopes that Yashan can flourish, so as soon as Wu Ping came, he vigorously supported his work. Seeing that he might annoy Wang Lu today, he hurriedly spoke out to wake up.
Although Wu Ping has been studying in the United States since high school, he is not unsophisticated, knowing that Li Bo is also for his own good, he nodded: "I know." He paused: "It's not that I don't care about the missile, it's too difficult, the coding of the control system is special to the army, and the civilian program is completely different, I studied electromechanical, and I am not very proficient in programming, so I still need time to study it." Alas, I heard that there was a group of servicemen at the submarine base who had attacked shore targets with anti-ship missiles, but unfortunately they went to sea in submarines, or they could have consulted them. β
Li Bo's expression was a little dazed: "Yes, I heard that their expedition is related to the origin of the biochemical virus, but I don't know if they can come back safely, these people are real men, but I think there is a chance that it will not end well." Li Bo's muttering was very soft, Wu Ping didn't hear it clearly, he shrugged his shoulders: "Let's go, anyway, this 'performance' Captain Wang Lu is still very happy on his face, and everyone present has also given bonuses, I think so, why don't you give some more money from the ministry, and all the staff will have a tooth sacrifice tonight, which can be regarded as a celebration and celebration."
