Chang Hao asked Yan Ji to be busy with his business, and he went to find Chang Ge first.

The elevator is steam-powered, Chang Hao came to the negative floor of the scientific research center in the click of mechanical bearings, the underground space carved out here is very wide, and the large instruments cast by the disciples of Weishui Jianlu can be seen everywhere.

It was hard to imagine that the disciples of the Weishui Sword House could still find time to dig such a large area of underground space with the vassal clan while forging armor and weapons.

It looks like an arsenal.

Chang Hao easily found Chang Ge.

She was wearing a scientific researcher's white coat and discussing with Emilia what looked like an iron lump, she was so focused that Chang Hao didn't notice it when she walked behind her, until someone pinched her face from behind, and then she fried her hair like a cat, and when she saw that it was her brother, she immediately drilled into Chang Hao's arms.

Chang Hao touched her head dotingly, and then a standard aristocratic kiss made Emilia tremble, and asked with a smile: "I saw the power supply tower outside, does it mean that our Guangmingye will soon enter the electric age?"

"It rarely rains in the Bright Field, let alone extreme thunderstorms, thanks to Amilia's unfamiliar thunder magic, simulating thunderstorms for me to study and collect various forms of electricity to study. ”

Chang Ge tilted his head and sighed: "Although we have mastered electricity now, it will take some time to use electricity as the main productive force, such as where the substation will be built in the future and how to choose the power supply line, which will take time." ”

"Yan Qi and Ling Xingyi have a very strong learning ability, and the knowledge we teach them is very fast, but all sectors of modern science and technology are related to each other, and there is no complete set of systematic knowledge reserves, and the more they develop later, the easier it is to hit a wall. ”

Emilia walked up to Chang Hao and helped him straighten his collar, "But don't worry, as the lord of Guangye, you are responsible for the overall situation, and Chang Ge and I are responsible for the following things." If you want me to say, it's not necessarily a good thing to go gradually. ”

Chang Hao was silent for a while, it is undeniable that what Emilia said does make sense.

Yan Qi and Ling Xingyi and the others are certainly smart, but modern technology is not a puddle of water after all, it is a sea with turbulent waves, and without adequate preparation, taking risks will only make you doomed.

In normal times, Chang Hao doesn't care about these at all, guarding the three acres of Guangmingye to improve his cultivation is not better than anything else? It's just that a vicious battle is about to break out at the door of the house, the kind that can only win and not lose, and everyone is in a hurry.

Chang Hao took a deep breath to adjust his mood, shouldn't the dignified Jindan Realm monk be disturbed by this little matter, he diverted the topic and said, "Just now I met Yan Qi above, he said that you two are working on a secret project, let me see?"

"Well, see for yourself. Chang Ge stuffed the things in his hand into Chang Hao's hands.

The amount of things is very heavy, Chang Hao looked at it, and it turned out to be 98K?

The Mauser 98K rifle is the standard weapon of Germany in World War II, with a fairly high shooting accuracy and excellent performance, even after the end of the war, it is still collected by many avid firearms enthusiasts at home.

Mr. Chang is no exception, and in the basement of the supposedly all-encompassing basement there is a Mauser 98K rifle that is said to be the world's first factory.

The completion of this 98K is already quite high, with a wooden body with a faint woody fragrance, a classic rotary pull-back bolt, delicate rifling, and judging from the space of the magazine, it should also be a 7.62mm bullet, which is like a work of art.

Judging from the current level of science and technology and the history of warfare between the Orc Kingdom and the Human Empire, the entire Middle-earth Continent is in the age of cold weapons, and the two warring sides are competing to see whose sword is sharper, whose armor is stronger, and whose tactics are better.

And the 98K rifle in Chang Hao's hand represents the advent of the era of hot weapons, and the pattern of the entire Middle-earth Continent will even change drastically because of this wooden lump.

Why did the immortal cultivators in the East gradually withdraw from the stage of history?

The answer to this question is very simple, on the one hand, because of the decreasing aura of heaven and earth, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of the advent of the era of hot weapons.

An immortal cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm can use a spiritual shield to resist the fire of a pistol, but what about a rifle, what about a sniper rifle, and what about a missile? An immortal cultivator in the Foundation Building Realm may be able to block the strafing of a rifle, but he definitely can't block the strafing of several rifles.

As for the higher realm immortal cultivators, except for the two god-level figures of Old Man Chang and Gandalf, at best, they are in the late stage of the foundation building realm, and they don't even have a golden pill realm.

Even if there are Jindan Realm cultivators, the earth's heaven and earth aura is so meager that the spiritual power shield can be held up for the first time, and it is difficult to say whether it can be held up for the second time.

Technology changes the world, and this sentence is not just talk.

"Are there any bullets? I'll try two shots to see what happens. Chang Hao was interested, because he saw a red target in the distance.

"No, to be honest we don't even know if we want to make bullets. Chang Ge and Emilia exchanged glances, their expressions indescribable.

"Why? Is it because our production conditions and technology don't allow it?" The second daughter's answer was really beyond Chang Hao's expectations, the gun that was finally produced was not equipped with bullets, so what was the use?

"It's not a question of whether there are bullets or not, it's a question of whether the gun can produce effective damage. Chang Ge stroked the delicately textured body of the gun, "We compared the data of the Yang Yan Armor and the Hex Mithril Heavy Armor on hand, and found that the penetration generated by the 98K within a sniper range of several hundred meters could not effectively penetrate the armor. ”

Chang Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Brother, you have to be clear, although the Middle-earth Continent is in the era of cold weapons, the armor they wear is too heavy compared to body armor, even the ogre's pig iron deck has an amazing protective effect. I've heard that some of the hoplites in the Human Empire have armor that is even comparable to the frontal armor of tanks, and that a normal sniper rifle just tickles them!"

It was rare to see a discouraged expression on Chang Ge's face, because Guangguang Ye did not yet have a complete industrial system, and this sniper rifle was handcrafted by her and Amilia, which took a lot of time and energy, but it was not until it was built that they discovered this fatal problem that was far from lethal.

There are only a handful of people who can use a sniper rifle in the Bright Field, and Platinum may be the only candidate, which limits the caliber of the rifle to be too large.

However, judging from the current situation, if the caliber is not increased to increase the damage and penetration of the armor, the value and role of the sniper rifle will not be realized at all.

Moreover, the mages of the Human Empire can also add various buffs to their warriors like sacrifices, although the effect is mediocre, and can only apply some simple protective magic, but it can further restrict the space for sniper rifles to play.

According to Chang Ge's estimates, in order to be able to penetrate the heavy armor from the front, it would require at least a 12.7 mm caliber anti-materiel weapon like Barrett's.

But the problem is that a weapon like Barrett with overly precise parts tests the overall height of the industrial system, and many steel parts need to be stamped to complete, which cannot be manufactured at the level of the current Guangmingye industrial system.

"Maybe we don't need to go and raise the caliber of the weapon, we can try to find a breakthrough in the warhead. Chang Hao pondered for a while and gave an example, "Didn't people also make things like armor-piercing bombs and high-explosive bombs in the past?"

Chang Hao woke up the dreamer with a few words, Chang Ge stayed in place for a while, and then rushed to the workbench like a demon, Emilia handed Chang Hao an apologetic look, and ran to the good sister to devote herself to endless research.

Chang Hao exhaled lightly, didn't bother them again, he took the elevator back to the ground, and his eyes were exceptionally bright in the yellowish light in the car.

Someone else's problem is solved, and now it's his turn.

He had to write a letter to the king first.
