Chapter 267
At noon, the sky was a little overcast, the clouds were thick, and gusts of cold wind blew over the city walls, blowing the big air worn by Rua gently swaying. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Woo~~~~" The long horn sound resounded throughout Black Rock City, informing every resident of Black Rock City that the beast tide. Here it comes.
Standing on the city wall, Ruya held a telescope removed from Barrett in his hand and aimed into the distance, and within the field of vision of the high-precision telescope, a vague wave surged up from all directions.
'Hey' When he really saw the beast tide that seemed to be overwhelming, Lu Ya suddenly understood the feeling of 'one soldier over 10,000, boundless'.
From the condescending view of the city wall, it seems that a shadow is pressing up towards the Black Stone City, the kung fu of tea, the beast tide is approaching, the beast heads are moving, the big mouths are stretching, the eyes are full of cruelty, and the disgusting smell is impacting Lu Ya and the others on the city wall at this moment.
"There aren't many monsters in here," Ruya said as he looked at the scope and turned to Berry.
"It's all low-level demonic beasts, wind wolves, earth worms, thorn snakes, and red-eyed earth dragons have seen these kinds for the time being, and high-level demonic beasts really haven't seen them," Bai Lifu replied calmly.
"It's incredible, there are tens of thousands of scales, and I don't know how many people control it, chirp, if I hadn't heard that this kind of guy who controls the beast tide would have no good end, I would have wanted to learn" Lu Ya looked at the still beast tide that stopped not far away and sighed.
"Mr. Bart said that those people need to use secret methods to consume life force in order to control these beast tides, and I want to live for two more years"
Ruya looked at Bai Lifu in a slightly surprised way, Bai Lifu rarely made a joke, this level of joke was quite rare for Bai Lifu.
"I don't know who spread this secret method of controlling the beast tide, but it seems that no one in the blood clan knew this secret method before, and our previous guess that this time the beast tide and the blood clan are inseparable may not be accurate." Lu Ya rubbed his nose, this information was all Bart told Ruya, according to Bart, in the past, although those guys who manipulated the beast tide were caught and killed, but this secret method also seems to have a legacy and power, although I don't know who the people who understand this secret method are, but it is certain that those guys are definitely not a member of the blood clan, which is an inference from the combination of various events that have happened over the years.
"Grab one and you'll know," Berry began.
"How to catch it, so many beasts just stand still and let you kill how long you can kill" Ruya rolled his eyes and Bai Lifu.
"The soldiers in the city have also been arranged?" asked Ruya again.
"Well, it's all been informed, if there is any movement under anyone's house, the army will arrive at the first time, our house is full of stones and cement poured underneath, and it is unlikely that those dirt will dig a thousand meters and then pick up the cement," replied Berry.
"Well, prevention is still necessary, don't be careless"
The current situation is a little speechless, whether it is Black Rock City or the beast tide, no one on either side has nothing to do, Black Rock City is not comparable to those small and medium-sized tribes with wooden walls, the cement wall more than ten meters high is not something that ordinary beasts can shake at all, but Black Rock City also has nothing to do with those beast tides, so many beasts are surrounded outside with the strength of Black Rock City is not enough at all.
Of course, if Black Rock City takes out all the arms and consumes them, it can completely hit the beast tide hard, but neither Lu Ya nor anyone will agree to do so, good steel is used on the blade, those weapons are not easy to come by, if it is consumed with all its strength, at most, Black Rock City will have to rely on those steel crossbows to survive, and when it saves so many belongings, I don't know what year and month it will be.
This is also what Lu Ya is depressed now, most of the attack methods of the entire Black Rock City come from the arms he summoned, this is very bad, the dependence is too strong, if there is really any protracted war, or he is gone, then Black Rock City will become precarious, this is what Lu Ya does not want to see, so he will make every effort to develop science and technology, and strive to be able to produce those equipment weapons as soon as possible, free from his restrictions, only in that way, the Black Stone tribe can really become strong.
The beast tide just stopped a kilometer away from the city wall and confronted the city wall, and this boring confrontation made Lu Ya leave without holding on for a while.
After lunch, the excited Lu Ya and the old man carried a big box up the city wall, for the Black Rock City was besieged by the beast tide, up to Lu Ya, Bai Lifu and other high-level people, down to the ordinary people in the city, no one was worried, after all, such a tall and thick city wall is not a decoration, and those beasts can't climb ladders, it is estimated that even if there are no people standing on the city wall, they will not be able to enter the group of beasts for a year.
After Ruya and the Iron Old Man came up, they were followed by a group of scruffy humans or orcs, as well as a few wrestler slaves carrying large and small things.
Along with Lu Ya were the researchers of the Artillery and Thermal Weapons Research Group and the Gunpowder Research Group of the Research Institute, and there was the sloppy old man of the Iron Old Man who led by example, and none of those research institutes had a better image than him, but their love and enthusiasm for their respective work were extremely high.
Knowing that there was a beast tide coming, whether it was the steel mill or the various workshops closed, the personnel entered the Black Rock City, and the research institute was naturally no exception, but those researchers were not idle even so, and they started work again in the city with the research tools and equipment that they could carry, and Lu Ya brought the city wall to the city were those who could not play in the city.
Touching the non-existent sweat on his head and putting down the box, Lu Ya rested on the side, while the old man continued to direct the personnel who came up to fiddle with the things that were carried up, in fact, to put it bluntly, there were not many things, mainly the assembly of several metal pipes of different thicknesses.
These metal pipes are naturally the various versions of artillery and guns developed by the research institute, and Lu Ya was afraid that these researchers would do something with these things in the city, so he simply took them up to the city wall to make a special place for them.
The Iron Old Man was very satisfied with Lu Ya's proposal, and immediately raised his hand in agreement, and the Iron Old Man also understood the importance of firearms to the Blackstone Tribe, so he was also particularly interested in the research of firearms and gunpowder.
After a period of assembly, the largest pipe was assembled, this pipe was made of fine iron, the diameter of a human head, the wall of the pipe was more than half a palm thick, and the outer wall was covered with several iron hoops.
This is actually an artillery, and it is also a refill-loading technology, after all, there is no need for Lu Ya, who understands the basic development of artillery, to use that kind of pre-filler red-coated cannon, which is purely superfluous, and at the current level of the steel plant, a simple reloading gun can still be made.
This gun was named the Experimental Type 3 gun, and its first two models were both experimental in nature, and of course this Type 3 was also an experimental type, but compared to the first two models, he improved a lot.
The biggest improvement was reloading, where a researcher took out a solid pellet from a box next to the gun and stuffed it into the chamber from the back of the gun, then took out a copper cartridge from another box and stuffed it in. It is worth mentioning that due to technical limitations, not only the caliber of the projectile and cartridge does not match the artillery, but also because of the lack of technology to make a primer, the gun still needs to be ignited to fire.
After the back hall was closed, a fire line was drawn from the small hole that had been reserved, which extended directly from the powder keg, and the exterior was waterproofed.
Everything was ready, and the old man took matters into his own hands, calibrated it, and then ordered the ignition. (To be continued.) )
