Chapter 56: Preparations for Battle
There were still two months left before Raphael set off for the Papal States, but Qin Shouzhuo did not plan to return to the imperial capital within two months to fight Victor to the death. To be honest, Qin Shouzhuo was not sure that he would grow enough to defeat Victor head-on in the remaining two months, so Qin Shouzhuo decided to wait for Victor and his party to leave the imperial capital and intercept them on the way back to the Sacred Mountain of Hygar, and if necessary, they could also destroy the opponent's entire team, disguised as a bandit attack.
After all, it is an ODST elite background, maybe there is no hope of defeating Victor, but the opportunity to kill Victor is not impossible, not to mention anything else, in order to finally use it as an assassination plan for insurance, Qin Shouzhuo even hand-concocted 60kg of Alfang explosives, which is a simplified version of military explosives in the interstellar era, in order to facilitate production when acting behind enemy lines, it can be manually concocted with some very common materials through a simple process, ordinary soldiers naturally can't, but for ODST who often performs actions behind enemy lines, it is one of the necessary skills。
60 kg of Alfang explosives is equivalent to the explosive power of 540 kg of TNT explosives, what is the concept? When everyone was still grabbing territory in Blue Star, Hans Meow created the largest artillery system of mankind -- Gustav.
This kind of dead weight of 1,350 tons requires 500 soldiers to operate normally, plus other troops responsible for air defense alert, rail laying and other tasks, a total of up to 2,500 people. With an impressive caliber of 800mm, this super cannon can fire 7.1 tons of armor-piercing shells from a distance of 48 km, and during the attack on the White Cliff stronghold in the fortress area of Sevastopol, a shell pierced a 10-meter-thick concrete wall, detonating an ammunition depot 30 meters underground, and even sank a ship in a nearby harbor with a huge explosion.
The actual charge of a 7.1-ton armor-piercing projectile with such a powerful destructive power is only 200kg, while the actual charge of a high-explosive projectile weighing 4.8 tons is only 400kg.
Of course, it is better to be able to defeat Victor openly, after all, even if the person who comes to Yin succeeds, it will be very troublesome to deal with it afterwards, and it is likely that Raphael will have to be incognito from now on.
When leaving the teaching area of the Imperial University, the head of the Christina Academy gave Qin Shouzhuo a space wrist wheel, which Christina got from a ruin when she was adventuring around the continent back then, and it is said that it has something to do with the god of space, of course, it will not be the artifact wrist wheel of the god of space, and that thing is now lying in the treasure house of the Holy See. Of course, not for nothing, in exchange, the head of the house Christina got the silver phantom.
It doesn't matter what the origin is, as long as it can be used, the space attached to this wrist wheel is measured by Qin Shouchou to be spherical with a radius of about 50m, which has to be said to be a big outrageous, enough to pack and take away all the industrial equipment made by Qin Shouchuang, and also bring a lot of materials. In fact, Qin Shouzhuo also did so, planning to take time to do something after cultivating after entering the mountain, especially the insurance arranged, the 60kg Alfang explosives, and he had to make a shell for it, even if it was an IED (roadside bomb), it couldn't be too much.
Prepare the things that need to be packed, and pile up the Willis MB jeep with food, water, tents and other camping supplies, Qin Shouzhuo is ready to leave, and the head of the Christina College who came to see him off was startled, with the space wrist wheel and such a full car, are you going to go forever?
Farewell to the teacher, Qin Shouzhuo drove the jeep into the mountain behind the Imperial University. In the Blue Star, this World War II jeep carrying eagle sauce all over the world is known for its strong terrain adaptability, and the high output advantage of Magic Crystal Power makes this car maintain the same volume and size as the original, and the extra 600kg weight redundancy is used to strengthen the body structure to make up for the lack of structural strength caused by the gap in material level. The high-speed motion mechanism produced by the manual processing level comparable to that of an 8-level worker ensures the stability of this car, and it is racing all the way on the vast prairie, attracting a group of steppe wolves to chase until the head wolf is paralyzed.
The spies who came to follow and monitor Qin Shouzhuo collectively said: It's really a beep dog.
............
Before leaving, there is one more episode.
Qin Shouzhuo finally learned who was the other cup of coffee on the table when he left the Duke's Palace and came to the Captain's dormitory of Christina, it was Elsa, the commander of the 11th Legion of the Imperial Capital Garrison, and the one who was one of the four beauties of the Imperial Capital along with Rafael and Sophia. The reason for visiting the dean was to learn that the dean was Qin Shouzhuo's direct responsible teacher, and he came to pull connections to buy his own magic cannon, and even patted his chest and said that he would open conditions casually, and implied that if it was Christina, her body was not negotiable, and she was almost thrown out of the door by the dean.
When Qin Shouzhuo arrived, she was avoiding in the room next to her, and then she frequently harassed Qin Shouzhuo by relying on the relationship between the old army commander during Christina's service, until she was hung up and beaten once by the angry academy head.
Well, literally, the location is in the atrium of the college office building, and the scene is quite spectacular......
............
Bidding farewell to the grassland and entering the mountains, Qin Shouzhuo lived the days of the revolution of the flower planters, climbing snowy mountains, lying on the grassland, climbing mountain beams, drilling old forests, and turning the arsenal in the surrounding area, making all kinds of dangerous explosives and guns and bullets.
Different from Blue Star's bullet development thinking, due to the existence of magic and fighting spirit in the world of Elis, the effect of ordinary metal bullets is very poor, even if it is a large-caliber steel core armor-piercing bullet, for a real master, a few hard shots can't die. Of course, no one can resist Gatling, it's okay to take one or two shots hard, and sweep the target into a sieve like one or two thousand rounds, but Gatling's electronic control system is difficult, and you can't do it manually.
It is also for this reason that muskets, although they appeared in this world many years ago, eventually became a weapon for civilians to fight in groups. The same is artillery, in the early years, relying on the weight of cannonballs to bombard the city wall or something, even if the master can resist the cannonball and not die, it will be knocked away, and it can be regarded as effective, but the effect is really not large, so the development is very limited. After the magic cannon appeared, it was quickly eliminated, and until now, that is, there may be some artillery still in use in the bandit cottage.
Therefore, if Qin Shouzhuo wanted to give full play to his greatest advantage, the hot weapon, and the ability to fight against magic and fighting qi had to be put on the agenda. When killing Victor's Guards Knight that night, Qin Shouzhuo used the method of activating the ultra-small magic crystal, using the magic crystal as a bullet attack, just like the head of the academy said, like an ultra-micro magic cannon.
Although it has achieved a record of killing four people in a row, it relies on surprise, the opponent is not prepared, neither wearing armor nor supporting the protective fighting spirit, its weakness is also obvious, the lethality is insufficient, and after the opponent has defense, it has never been able to achieve results.
Energy is conserved, neither arises nor disappears out of thin air, only transforms from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy, which is familiar to the villagers of Blue Star, still exists in this other world.
Whether it is Dou Qi or magic, it is a kind of energy, and the only thing that cannot be explained is the generation of magic and Dou Qi. It is said that it is generated through the resonance of the soul and the world, but the soul energy of the strong has not only not decreased but also increased, the energy is exhausted, and the cultivation can be restored in one night, and meditation can also speed up, which is simply incomprehensible to Qin Shouzhuo, but the general transformation is still valid.
In other words, when magic and fighting energy hit the magic shield and fighting energy shield, there was a fierce energy confrontation. Since this is the case, kinetic energy is also a type of energy, and it can achieve the same effect. If you want to strengthen the kinetic energy of the bullet, you can either choose a large-caliber long-barreled rifle, or find a way to use the bullet. Qin Shouzhuo did both, he made an M2HB heavy machine gun, a steel core armor-piercing bullet of water, and then went to the front to put a demon bear on it.
Facing a low-level earth-based demonic beast that is known for its defense, the effect is quite touching. This demon bear withstood the continuous attack of 12.7mm steel core armor-piercing bullets, and it was forced to rush within 50m, and the magic shield close to the level of metallization was penetrated, and then it was beaten into a sieve.
Qin Shouzhuo, a merciless guy, killed the demon bear, and then took out the first-generation artifact RPG that had just been built, loaded with a hand-built HEAT warhead, that is, a hollow charge shaped energy armor-piercing projectile, one of the important heroes who forced tanks from various countries to start running naked before the appearance of explosive reactive armor.
The scorching metal jet was obviously not something that a mere magic shield could withstand, and with just one shot, the demon bear's heart was decisively burned to charcoal, and he couldn't die anymore.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by one RPG, and if there is, two shots.
............
Just when Qin Shouzhuo was hiding in the mountains and turned into an arms maniac, the situation in the imperial capital city underwent new changes.
Since neither side deliberately carried out an intelligence blockade of the situation that night, by the time Qin Shouzhuo was discharged from the hospital, the magnates of the major factions in the imperial capital almost knew what happened that night. The performance of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Capital Garrison was remarkable, and it assembled and prepared for battle as soon as it discovered the abnormality, so it was able to rush to the vicinity of the Holy See at the critical moment and force the Knights Templar to withdraw on their own initiative.
In comparison, the performance of the Nine Commanders Yamen was clumsy. On the night of Victor's welcome banquet, the silver phantom was born, and the city defense army of the Nine Gate Admiral Yamen mistakenly thought that it was a demonic beast entering the city, and issued a martial law alarm, and the whole army panicked and the whole city ran around, and even some deserters appeared.
If the first time it was possible to prevaricate on the grounds that "the soldiers had never seen a cart without a horse-drawn carriage and were frightened", the second time it was impossible to say that it was past the time when the gates were opened, but the knights of both Victor and Duke Jefferson had no obstruction in and out, and the gate officers did not play their due role. To make matters worse, when the sound of the horse's hooves of the Third Cavalry Corps outside the city resounded in the night sky, the city defense army had not yet given the order to assemble.
The unbearable Admiral of Jiumen personally sat at the headquarters of the city defense army, but found that the reason for the delay in assembling was that a large number of city defense officers and soldiers left the camp without authorization and slept in the willows. Even the 11th and 23rd Corps of Light Infantry, which were on combat readiness duty, found that nearly 7 percent of the officers and men were not in the battalion, and they were mainly junior officers, not to mention the regiments that were on rotation. The reluctantly assembled big-headed soldiers were led by familiar officers, and it didn't take long for them to be chaotic again. As a result of the fact that the commander of the city defense force, who was already trembling with fear, personally ordered the troops to rectify discipline: until the next morning, nearly 12 percent of the soldiers still did not return to the unit.
When the next morning's Imperial Council discussed what had happened last night, the city defense command had not been able to make any effective moves. Immediately, the commanders of the 11th and 23rd Corps of Light Infantry were dismissed and sent to the military police headquarters.
The Holy See, which has been committed to strengthening the infiltration of its subordinate empires, has been asking for it, and the greatest achievement of the imperial faction for many years has been to ensure the purity of the army in the imperial capital garrison, which has finally been mixed with a little sand. The Holy See faction launched with all its might, trying to protect the commander of the city defense army, and the imperial faction fought in the dark, and finally let the garrison military justice department take the blame, the commander of the nine gates and the commander of the city defense army did not move, the two commanders of the regiment on duty and the head of the military justice department of the garrison, and the three small shrimps carried such a major political event as the failure of the imperial capital's city defense.
After dealing with the three small shrimps, the commander of the city defense army became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the imperial faction, and the commander of the six legions of the city defense army who directly controlled the imperial capital became the object of contention between the two factions. Regardless of the final outcome, the Holy See's sharp knife was already directly on the back of His Majesty the Emperor.
PS: Of course, the calculation of the explosive power of the real artillery shell is not so simple, the composition of the explosive, the density of the charge, the design of the projectile, etc. can have a great impact.
