Chapter 208 Gun Research
The recruitment cost of human soldiers is generally higher than that of other forces, because most of the human soldiers wear well-equipped armor and attach great importance to the soldiers' defense capabilities.
The fifth-level infantry is already full of armor, and the sixth-level guard is thickened again on this layer of armor.
Human soldiers performed very well on the defensive end, so Yanxing asked his werewolf warriors to have comprehensive offensive capabilities.
When selecting weapons for the sixth-level werewolf warrior, Yan Xing found that there was a hand crossbow in the weapon selection bar, so he added it without hesitation.
Therefore, a new type of soldier unit named the sixth-level werewolf warrior, and based on the main weapon of tomahawk, a hand crossbow was added as a secondary weapon.
Werewolf Warrior (Sixth-level werewolf)
Attack: 10
Defense: 8
Kill: 7
Physical strength: 25
Talent: high fighting spirit (on the battlefield, fighting werewolf can always maintain strong morale.) Shooter (mastering primary shooting skills: range, lethality, rate of fire, etc. comprehensive abilities of ranged weapons are increased by 10%)
The equipment on the newly advanced werewolf warriors will naturally be replaced, and all the fighting werewolf's armed forces will be used.
Bomb-proof vests, bullet-proof shields and fire axes...
As for the crossbow, Yanxing equipped the first batch of werewolf warriors with flintlock pistols that had just begun trial production.
In fact, with the Internet-connected humanoid alchemist puppet, Eternal Collar can produce guns completely after purchasing machine tools and materials from modern times.
Don’t ask for it to be so sophisticated, there is absolutely no problem with normal "tumbling" fire.
But guns are easy to build, bullets are difficult to build.
The material processing technology involved in bullet manufacturing is too advanced.
There are also gunpowder formulas and manufacturing techniques, which cannot be made by searching for some documents.
In reality, there are only more than 30 countries that can independently manufacture bullets, including India. It can be seen that the technical threshold for bullets is not generally high.
Especially for large-scale standard manufacturing, it is indeed a bit difficult to make with Yonghengling's industrial foundation.
Therefore, Yanxing asked Chuai Fu to command the imitation alchemy puppet and handmade some simple flintlock rifles to study gunpowder formulas and production techniques.
At the same time, collect some ballistic data to make technology and experience reserves for the next generation of gun manufacturing.
However, even the flintlock rifle is better than the 18th century's design for blowing and blowing using modern materials.
The first generation flintlock rifle uses breech loading.
When loading, fold the butt stock and open it to expose the chamber, and then stuff the handmade standard black powder paper shell into the chamber.
After closing the stock, the fire strike device will cut the paper shell projectile.
At this time, pull the trigger to hit the flint and spark it, and you can ignite black gunpowder and shoot the bullet out.
After preliminary test shots, the effective killing distance of the first generation of flintlock rifles can reach 100 meters.
If the barrel is lengthened, the range can be higher.
Although the lethality of the flintlock gun is not as good as that of modern military crossbows that Yan uses to be used as human crossbow soldiers, it is definitely more than ordinary archers.
Moreover, flintlock rifles are easy to carry, and musketeers carry more bullets than archers can carry.
Take out a pre-loaded flintlock gun in an emergency and shoot it is definitely faster and more convenient than using a crossbow.
Just like Yan's idea of equiping werewolfs with slingshots, equiping werewolf warriors with flintlock rifles was to give them more methods of long-range attacks.
More tactics can be used depending on the situation.
For example, when a werewolf warrior suddenly encounters an enemy, they can first use a flintlock rifle to suppress fire. Then continue to load and shoot as appropriate, or directly use a fire axe to commit melee combat.
In addition to combat equipment, Yanxing also equipped each werewolf warrior who came to Newta City with a set of ceremonial armor.
After actual combat and training, Yanxing found that the metal armor has too many disadvantages and is gradually eliminating the metal armor from the combat equipment of the Eternal Leader's direct army.
Comprehensively replace modern bulletproof sleeves as modules.
The vest, arm guard, leg guard and thrust bulletproof board are freely combined.
While giving each soldier the necessary protective power, it also greatly facilitates the maintenance and logistics supply of protective gear.
But from the perspective of this world...
This is a cloth armor, which is not intimidating and far less tall than metal armor.
Therefore, Yanxing also followed the trend of the times and provided another set of full-body metal armor for the werewolf warrior guards in the embassy.
The armor is polished and gold-plated, and all kinds of fancy devices are installed. For example, things like built-in fans and ambient lights are nailed to the back.
The appearance of the armor is made in the style of the Golden Saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's
The more you want, the more you want, the more you want, the more eye-catching it is.
In the future, werewolf warriors who were ready for combat will wear conventional combat uniforms, while werewolf warriors who were on duty will wear golden holy clothes.
Wherever you are bright, stand wherever you are!
Let everyone see my style.
As the renovation of the Thunder Swamp Embassy in Newta City was gradually completed, a sensational scene appeared in Newta City.
Especially at night, the whole city is dark, with only a few nobles and wealthy businessmen's mansions that are not too bright.
Moreover, the Thunder Swamp Embassy is full of magnificence.
Countless lights reflect, a large number of glass doors, windows and glass decorations make the light beam more brilliant.
The light shines, and it looks like competing with the stars.
It also eclipses all other lights.
So every night, there are crowds of people in front of the Thunder Swamp Embassy, and people rush to see this miraculous scenery.
The city defense force had to arrange manpower early to maintain order in case of serious stampedes.
On the streets, on the roofs nearby, people look at the Thunder Swamp Embassy from all places they can see.
My mentality is also undergoing this drastic change.
Since Yanxing first came to Newta City, what he felt the deepest was the contempt of the people here for the swamp tribe.
The superiority of the upper civilization made the lowest humans look at the swamp werewolf as if they were a wild beast.
They called the swamp tribe barbarians to gain spiritual satisfaction.
Moreover, the lower the status, the more you like to find the dignity you lose in your daily life from backward civilization.
This is the bad nature of a smart creature.
Just like Yan Xing's first time entering the city, he also felt superior to the people here.
I am impetuous and feel that I can rely on the height of my civilization to call the wind and rain here.
It was not until he was beaten by Count Theodore that he truly found his position.
If Thunder Swamp wants to expand its influence, it can no longer continue to carry the label of barbarians and be looked down from a high position.
The people in Newta City cannot recognize that the Swamp tribe is a civilization of the same level as them, so everything the Swamp tribe does is original sin.
The richer you are, the more hated you are.
