Chapter 148: Disadvantages and Advantages of Grenades
"Host, you guy, I have to say, it's useless to do serious things, but it's really an expert at fixing these crooked things. The system said angrily.
"Go, system, you goods, why is it crooked that I get a grenade?" Cheng Siping was also angry, and immediately replied.
"Isn't it a crooked way? The system asks you, what kind of grenade do you think you can kill if you use this grenade to deal with those cultivators?" the system said with a sneer.
"Uh......" Cheng Siping was speechless for a moment. It is true that this grenade can be used to resist the tide of beasts, but if it is really put into the battle with the cultivators, it is basically an ornament. The reason is simple, just two words: speed. Cultivators have more or less learned the light body exercises, and some cultivators with advanced knowledge have even learned some body exercises and the like. Their bodies were quite fast, and they hit them with grenades, and it is estimated that before the grenades were dropped, they would have long since lost their heads.
This is where the biggest gap between grenades and attack talismans lies. Attack talismans are quite small, highly concealed, and extremely easy to excite. Therefore, it can play the role of a surprise soldier in the fight with the opponent, sneaking up on the Yin people, making people unguardable. The grenade can't do this, even if its attack ability can reach the same level as that of an attack talisman, but the restrictions on its use are huge. Therefore, if on this point, it is not a big mistake for the system to say that Cheng Siping is not doing his job properly with grenades.
Of course, at this time, Cheng Siping was going to use these grenades to deal with the strange beasts in the beast tide, which was another matter. Alien beasts are not as intelligent as each other, they are used to punching and rushing, and no one is so slippery, so there is a lot to be done with grenades against them. It is in response to Cheng Siping's argument in his previous life that he said that the tiger is victorious. What's more, Xuanyuan Village's terrain also has a great bonus to the use of grenades. Xuanyuan Village is located in a valley, and the passage in and out of the village is quite narrow, and the space for dodging is greatly limited, which makes up for the shortcomings of the grenade's slow speed to some extent. At the same time, its powerful advantages have been greatly developed.
"I don't agree with what you're saying. What is a crooked door, what is a righteous way? In my previous life, a great man in Huaxia once said that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. As long as it does not violate the principles of heaven and does not follow the evil path, everything that can achieve the goal is a good method, and what can come in handy is also a good thing. Let's just say that this grenade, you don't like to see it, do you believe that this thing will become popular, and even become an important pillar industry in Xuanyuan Village?"
When the system heard Cheng Siping's words, it was immediately silent. It knew that Cheng Siping didn't brag at all this time, this thing was not very good, but it could definitely be popular. As for the reason, it has an advantage that no other thing can match.
Compared to this grenade, the attack talisman and attack elixir with the same effect have many advantages. For example, it is small in size and easy to carry...... After careful analysis, there are simply too many advantages, which are simply comparable to grenades. But there is one thing, but they can't catch up with the grenades. And it is precisely this article that makes Cheng Siping so confident that grenades will be popular. As for which one, just four words: cost, output!
Whether it is an external attack elixir or an ordinary attack talisman, it is impossible to manufacture it in large quantities. In the case of pills, refining this thing requires a large amount of refining materials. These refining materials are not just a matter of reaching out and grabbing them, so no matter how good the alchemist is, it is impossible to make too much. As for the talisman, the resources required by the talisman maker to make the talisman are much lower than those of alchemy, but the problem is that drawing the talisman is to greatly consume the talisman maker's energy and effort. No matter how good a talisman maker is, he can make more than a dozen or twenty talismans a day, and it will be heavenly, and it is impossible to have more. This is also the reason why the resources consumed to make talismans are so few, but the price of talismans is still so expensive, almost on par with similar pills.
But grenades will not be affected by this. First, the source of materials for grenades is all worthless and worthless things.
Cheng Siping's core thing of this grenade is naturally the explosives filled inside. As for the category of explosives, he chose picric acid. This kind of explosive, which was originally a dye, was once very popular in the military field, and the source of materials for its production is simply everywhere, and it can be obtained casually.
In Cheng Siping's previous life, he privately tinkered with this thing at home. So, it's not that hard to get it. Moreover, in his divine consciousness, in the information given by Emperor Dongyue, there is a very detailed description of the preparation steps. Cheng Siping's previous life, Baidu searched for the production process of this thing, but how could Emperor Dongyue collect it, how could there be no corresponding process. As long as he comes step by step, he won't worry about not being able to get it out. Facts have also proved that it is indeed very easy to do.
The production materials are not valuable, and the cost is mainly due to manpower. In a large city like the southern capital, the cost of manpower is naturally not low, but in the corner of Xuanyuan Village, the so-called manpower cost is negligible. So, in terms of cost, the grenade easily beats the other two of the same kind.
In addition to the cost, the more important thing is the output. It's so easy to make grenades, and there is no technical threshold. Except that the process of making picric acid is a little more troublesome, it is very easy. Although the process of preparing picric acid is more complicated, there is one, and the amount of it is quite large. Cheng Siping was only for testing before, so he only made seven grenades. But in fact, with the bitter acid he tossed in the past two days, he made hundreds or thousands of grenades, which was a very easy thing.
This is only a trial production, in the future, Cheng Siping will slightly transform the production process and introduce the assembly line operation. At this time, he arranged the manpower to make two or three thousand pieces a day, which was a very easy task. This is the advantage of grenades, doesn't it mean that it is not easy to excite, and the size is not hidden, so it is not easy to hit the opponent. If you don't hit the good one, come ten, and if you miss ten pieces, come a hundred. Directly take the number to kill the other party, it's so unreasonable. If you play like this, can you still have no results?
Especially when both sides are fighting sieges and defending cities. At that time, the manpower on both sides will be limited to a certain range, and the space for people on both sides to dodge and dodge will be greatly compressed, and the advantage of the grenade will be fully reflected. That's why the system was silent. This saw that the beast tide was coming, and I am afraid that the beast tide would become the norm in the future. It is conceivable that as long as Xuanyuan Village carries it alive with these grenades in this beast tide, then the order for grenades will make Xuanyuan Village earn a soft hand......
