Abyss Express

"My beloved gunsmith, the two trial samples you sent have been polished and repaired and are ready for actual combat."

"At first, you asked us old antiques to make guns and weapons. When you were making the Wenyu and Wuhuan series of individual equipment, I, an old man, was still worried - after all, I came from the aerospace complex. Japan does steel work, and Eric doesn’t know anything about guns.”

"But when it comes to this rocket launcher, let's go back to our expertise."

"When we studied the shapes of these arrows, we realized that you seemed to have done many aerodynamic practices. The shape of the warhead and the groove twist of the launcher pipe no longer need to be modified. The rest is the combustion chamber and launch The design of the chamber and the process of turning it into a [recoilless rifle]."

"It uses hibiscus bloodstone as solid fuel, and its warhead can hold about 75 grams of cloud explosive. Your requirement is for ammunition that can be produced quickly - then the internal design should be as simple and reliable as possible, and no longer do it. Other layered treatments.”

This is a letter from Polechev, the dead partner.

Cloud bombs in the mortal world use ethylene oxide as the explosive. Compared with TNT, the king of explosives, the shock wave generated by this explosive is five times that of TNT, and the area of ​​effect is 40% larger than TNT.

However, Xueming has no intention of using ethylene oxide. This kind of explosive requires extremely high precision in the preparation of warheads. Its boiling point is only ten degrees. Fragrant Fantasy can carry out precise operations of stamping flechettes, but ethylene oxide has The requirements for the material of the warhead shell are very strict. Once a vaporization leak or other explosion accident occurs, it will die earlier than the enemy.

And there are two other explosives, whether it is white crystal or hibiscus bloodstone, these two types of pyroxene fuel are better choices - it has only one shortcoming, ordinary people cannot use it, and psykers must use their spiritual bodies to activate the pyroxene fuel. The deflagration process of stone.

These solid fuels can also be found in Shambala, where Mr. Pluck's hometown is an ore pit. Chabon also used pyroxene as a spiritual stone and swallowed the stone in order to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.

This weird stone-eating custom reminded Xueming of the children of the Virgin Mary of Canaan. The members of the Church of [Afterlife] also learned this way. Their bodies were transformed by Lady Canaan into pyroxene skeletons, The stone man with pyroxene nerves may be able to connect to the Malphite network and possess extremely outstanding psychic talents.

Speaking of these two weapons, when the priest got them, he immediately rushed to the militia shooting range in the City of Tears. I informed the local security department that this was a heavy firepower experiment, and the shooting target became a shelling target.

What can 75 grams of white crystal be used for?

When it reaches Lingweng's hands, after simple polishing and cutting, it can be turned into a thousand-grain rough stone and can be made into a set of jewelry.

The retail price of wool is about 300 pyroxene currency, wholesale by ton, and based on the mining resource commodity transaction price calculation, it is also 75 pyroxene currency, one dollar per gram——

——This is only the premise for calculating mining costs, and does not take into account logistics, transportation and retail distribution.

The seventy-five yuan turned into a silver steel arrow and was stuffed into the barrel of the launcher.

Its explosive power is equivalent to four times that of TNT. If you want to have a more intuitive psychological estimate, the power of this high-explosive warhead is equivalent to three F1 defense grenades.

Before pulling the trigger, Xueming was mentally prepared. He checked the weapon against the gun. From the muzzle, he could see the troubleshooting mechanism and the firing pin, as well as a large piece of ceramic inner shell left for the red stone to fully burn. This is the burning room.

When the rocket leaves the muzzle, the tail flame will be ejected forward through the integrated barrel. It has triple buffers and six diversion ports in an inverted V shape, which divides the wake of the arrow projectiles to the left and right sides. It was modified from the previous CZ-75 The design did not take this into account, and the tail flame ejected from the pressure relief hole would burn the shooter himself. This design is more like the shape of a muffler - but the inverted V-shaped multiple channels of the muffler are used to decelerate the bullet gas. These pressure relief holes are like the guide grooves when large rockets are launched, used to divert the excess rocket tail. Try to keep the arrow body flying smoothly.

Polechev gave this pistol type launcher a very simple name, "Chen Crystal No. 1", and the long gun type launcher was called "Chen Crystal No. 2". The ammunition used is the same, 15* 50mm thick flechette.

The moment he fired the gun, Xueming felt no reaction force. He only saw a straight meteor coming out of the muzzle of the gun. Six golden-red sparks separated from the gun body. Then he saw the shelling target in the distance explode into a ball. A fireball of four to five meters in size hit the side of the car more than 300 meters away. The door was dented and deformed, the glass was shattered, and the head of the dummy in the car was severed and flew into the wilderness.

The charge of the F1 defensive grenade is 65 grams of TNT, and its killing radius is 30 meters. The energy density of this flechette explosive is far higher than that of TNT - except that it is expensive, it has no disadvantages.

The alien pistol Dust Crystal No. 1 has only eight rounds of ammunition. It is a decisive weapon against large disaster beast units. Because it is in the shape of a rocket, it does not require shell extraction and there is no recoil. In addition to barrel overheating, its failure rate is much lower than that of ordinary firearms.

The design language of the Chenjing No. 2 rifle is simpler. It does not have a recirculation structure for the re-entry gas guide. It can be slimmer and more portable, and looks more like a short assault rifle.

Xueming loaded the magazine into the receiver, checked the number of bullets loaded, then pulled the trigger and shot out all twenty arrows.

Its rate of fire is astonishing——

——The flames ejected from the ten pressure relief holes on the left and right are almost in a line. From the shelling window of the field shooting range, it looks like a fairy stick burning violently.

There was a continuous roar of "SiuSiuSiu" across the field, and the projectiles were almost connected in a line, hitting the same side of the car. After emptying the magazine, the front half of the car had disappeared, and nothing was left after the explosion. - Its cast-iron engine was blown to pieces, parts flying everywhere.

Xueming then replaced the second magazine, grasped the front grip and continued to spray firepower. The flames spitting out from the fishbone of the barrel would burn through the wooden frames on both sides of the shooting window.

Unlike traditional rifles, Chenjing No. 2 does not require much arm strength to control the muzzle beat. The feedback from the receiver is not the vibration of the bullet and gunpowder explosion, but the continuous pushback force at the moment of the rocket deflagration.

He only needs to grasp the front and rear grips tightly, see the target clearly in the rail sight, and lock the target tightly in the center of the crosshair to complete a series of blasting operations.

After finishing all the inventory and more than two hundred arrows sent by the Death Partner Agency, he slowly exhaled and felt physically and mentally comfortable.

As a light infantry weapon, this thing is almost a perfect answer.

Powerful projectiles or grenades cannot hit as far as it does.

Rifles that are more accurate than it can't destroy the thick-skinned blood-granting target in an instant.

It is more portable than a rocket launcher, has a faster firing speed, is easier to deploy, and has good firepower sustainability.

"SD!" Jiang Xueming called out Hunwei.

The big steel cat immediately revealed its true form and took the two pieces of copper and iron raw materials sent by the main body.

I saw this soul power rubbing the ammunition on the spot, using a slightly softer copper head as the warhead of the kinetic energy arrow, using its toe claws to stamp the steel skin as the propulsion part, and finally grinding the red stone into powder, cold forging the projectile, and using the sharp claws Cut out two tail flame holes to maintain spin.

The effective range of this simple arrow projectile is only about a hundred meters, which is not comparable to the finished product produced by the iron factory. However, when the ammunition is exhausted, it can penetrate ten millimeters of uniform armor steel. It flies smoothly and steadily. It will get faster and faster after leaving the muzzle, and it will reach the top speed at about thirty meters.

Xueming stuffed the kinetic energy ammunition that was hand-rolled on the spot into Chenjing No. 1 without detonating the warhead. When it hit the concrete target eighty meters away, it turned into a violent swirling air mass in an instant.

The moment the soft copper head warhead came into contact with the concrete gravel, it was immediately shattered into pieces. The jet of fine and hot high-temperature copper particles scattered in all directions, leaving a three centimeter deep mark on the wall.

The second steel-core kinetic energy ammunition was fired at the armored vehicle. When the armor and the steel-core warhead were in contact at 90 degrees, violent sparks broke out when materials with similar hardness confronted each other. It was like a drill bit that could not chew through the armor. The steel can only self-destruct, and the propellant of the rocket deforms and leaks out in advance. A stream of pink dust crystals explodes first, and then a huge fireball appears. The flames chase the oxygen and burn quickly, swallowing from the outer ring to the inside. Finally, The shock wave reverberated inside and outside, exploding into a clean vacuum field. If there were still living people in the armored vehicle, they would be very uncomfortable. They had to deal with overpressure and hypoxia of 2,500 meters per second at the same time, and there was also a Instantaneous high temperatures of more than a thousand degrees Celsius.

"Oh!~~~" Fenfang Huanmeng has never seen this novel gadget before, "When we dealt with the Incarnate Butterfly before, what kind of bicycle do we need if we have this thing?"

"Yes." Jiang Xueming held the two treasures and stuffed them back into the weapon box: "The magic weapon I am looking for is used to deal with the transformed butterfly."

The miniaturization, portability, and miniaturization of individual soldiers with heavy firepower——

——All this is based on psychic explosives.

The more than 200 rockets that Xueming destroyed just now are equivalent to more than 50,000 pyroxene currency in terms of market retail price. The dozen or so targets in the field bombardment site were all in tatters, with charred iron blocks and masonry everywhere, as well as crystal clear red and white dust crystal particles.

These stone crystals cannot be degraded naturally. They will become part of the underground atmosphere and continue to enter the ecological food chain. They will continue to transform the body structures of livestock and humans. Places where dust crystals are concentrated will even produce many psychic phenomena. Attracting strange spirits and ghosts.

The simultaneous release of energy from so many pyroxenes is a powerful psychic ritual in itself.

This is also another side effect of dust crystal rockets. If too much firepower is directed at an area, it will increase the concentration of spiritual disasters here.

This kind of mini rocket is actually not much more expensive than the heavy firepower of an individual soldier. The RPG-7 family barrel series, the king of infantry in the 20th century, sells for one thousand six hundred dollars in war-torn areas of the mortal world. It can destroy a rocket launcher. tank. In the black market of arms dealers and mobile traders in the underground world, they could be sold for 2,500 pyroxene currency in the expedition era. Nowadays, there are not so many regional conflicts, and they only cost 500 yuan per shot.

Dust crystal rockets of the same value cannot deal with tank armor, but a flechette can definitely kill a fully armed blood granting unit, and defeating the Giant's Scion is not a problem.

The RPG-7 only has one chance. After firing the rocket, its propellant and warhead need to be reassembled.

But Chen Crystal No. 2 can aim at an extremely fast-moving target and squeeze the trigger without letting go, until this freakish angel like a moth turns into a puddle of flesh.

It can shatter the bone armor of apostle units, burn out the oxygen these large monsters need, and paralyze them quickly. A single magazine can create a vacuum of life, at least 30 meters in fifteen seconds. There will be no living things within the left and right blast radius.

"It's not a good thing if it's too powerful, right?" Fenfang Huanmeng pondered: "What if we encounter a situation of close combat? The thirty-meter blast radius will also hurt us."

Jiang Xueming packed up his weapon box and prepared to return to Fangfeng Settlement to retrieve Mingde's remains. Hearing Hun Wei ask this, he searched out the old set of equipment from the weapon box.

"Wu Huan and Wenyu can still be made, but they have reduced the types of ammunition and the size - they are now the conventional weapons of Homo sapiens."

Jingguang, as Jiang Xueming's secondary weapon, is now smaller overall. It no longer uses the 9*39mm series of VSS ammunition, but has been changed to 10mm high-power pistol bullets. Such bullets are easy to find in the underground world. The size has also returned from 6.5 inches to 5.1 inches, becoming a standard full-size pistol - the ammunition is Daniel Desert Eagle bullet, and the muzzle velocity is about 400 meters per second, which is very practical.

Diwana and Yinhe have undergone small-caliber modifications. Xueming positioned these two main battle rifles as being used against humanoid units. Shooting 5.56 bullets, the armor-piercing efficiency has become higher and the ammunition capacity has increased.

"Within thirty meters, Divana is faster and more accurate."

Fenfang Huanmeng asked: "What if it's fifteen meters?"

Xueming rolled his eyes: "What's your range?"

"Oh oh oh." Fenfang Huanmeng slapped her forehead: "That's okay."

After solving the problem of free prostitution weapons, the recasting of Beloberg became simple.

After all, when designing firearms, you also need to pay attention to the human-machine function. It is much easier to create a cold weapon for close combat.

Xueming spent four days. First, he returned to Fangfeng Settlement, got the short ribs freshly baked by BOSS to remove the demon curse, chatted with the Holy Mother of Canaan, took a look at the construction progress of the new station, and immediately started working non-stop. Rush back to the death partner agency.

After following Chief Nanami back to the ironworks, the veteran cadres saw this fresh bone and immediately began to draw the designs of the Iron Knight and Beloberg. In just one or two days, a complete set of cold weapons was created.

Using Mingde's remains as the carburizing material, the Dragon-Slaying Sword as the prototype, and merging it with Beloberg's shape design, when the Bright Blade is released again, its new steel body will emit a dazzling light.

This large sword is one hundred and seventy centimeters long. From a distance, it looks like a thick nail. When you get closer, you can see its thick spine and the intricate overlapping forging textures on the eight-sided sword. It doesn't have any weird pattern enchantment attributes. It has only one function, which is to generate heat and light, dissolve flesh, muscles, tendons, and cut open bones.

The re-launched Iron Knight is a bit more fancy. Chief Nanami made it a katana-like knotted Maki Hanao. Its light sword blade also has the spirit body of Beloberg, which is pulled out from the tail of the cane. It looks like The thin needle-like light sword is longer and heavier than before, just right for Meteor's height and physique - the previous Iron Knight looked too much like a children's toy in Meteor's hands.

Then there are three pairs of fighting knives of different shapes, including claw blades and dagger stabs, survival knives, chop knives, and chef's knives. This set of short knives are all made from scraps left over from Belloberg's old sword hilts. They don't have such a strong heat source, but they can be used as flints. Their blades and spines can only emit a temperature of more than 600 degrees. Wood and stones can be used to make fire, and they are very efficient in killing unarmored targets. They can also be used to cook food.

Everything was ready. Xueming finally tried the balance of Belloberg's sword. The skills of the blacksmiths were still so good. The sword was easy to use. After only a few rounds of dancing, it became like a new limb. , as long as the eyes can see it, it will be able to stab quickly and decisively.

He took the leather scabbard and packed the dagger. The whole set of weapons was to be sent back to the anonymous club.

When leaving the Death Puppet Agency, Xueming and Nanami returned to the fast food restaurant on the platform.

While waiting for the bus, Nanami started chatting.

"This battle should be the final journey, right?"

Jiang Xueming shook his head, pouting and supporting his chin: "I don't know. But sister, your words are a bit unlucky."

Nana Mei said in a serious tone: "Gunsmith! You commissioned us to make so many powerful weapons. The enemy must be very scary, right?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Xueming didn't get any information. He didn't know the situation in Shambhala yet. He had to wait until the cabinet sent an order to the Organization Department and waited for a notification from the Organization Department.

"What? You don't even know who your enemy is?" Nanami was very confused - unlike Jessica, who often ran out, Nanami preferred to stay in the dormitory, working on making iron. Watching movies with old friends in the institute.

The colorful world outside is so beautiful, and countless cultural and entertainment products are produced every day. Even if the two sisters grow another head, they probably won't be able to see all of these things and listen to all these stories. I have only heard of the gunsmith's expedition, let alone any actual understanding.

"I always have to wait for the arrangements from the Organization Department and the BOSS." Jiang Xueming played with the claw blade; "Sometimes the brothers in the intelligence team really have no choice, so we have to bite the bullet and go to the quick knife and the gate to find out whether Got any useful news - this matter must be handled by it, otherwise what will happen to the people in the disaster area? Do we have to wait any longer? "

"Shambhala is so far away. It is on the other side of the sea. It seems to be a place that the railway can never reach."

Jiang Xueming glanced at his watch, and there happened to be a new message from BOSS, which was also a notice from the Organization Department of the Transportation Department - Eureka's ship was ready. To rehearse the deployment of troops in advance, Zhang Congfeng had to be present.

Capturing Judas is like finding a needle in a haystack. The situation in Shambhala is very complicated. There is not even a radio there, and very few big cities have telephone communication. Therefore, the Alliance of Eternals obtained psychic mediums such as Chaos Eggs and immediately transformed them into Pheromone-mediated communication tool.

At the level of exchanging information, Judah has home field advantage.

In terms of mobilizing new troops, the Alliance of Eternals can draw on local materials, trade elixirs through various warlords in Xia Bang, and assign these indigenous troops for their use.

In a decisive battle environment with elite units, the population of villages, towns and cities is the currency in the hands of Judah, which can be spent at any time to create large-scale spiritual disasters and call for the original seed, especially coastal cities close to the original seed. These places are all incarnations of butterflies. 's paradise.

"The car is coming"

Jiang Xueming set off immediately, no longer thinking about how difficult and dangerous the future was.

Nanami suddenly stood up: "Gunsmith, you will definitely win!"

"Keep your voice down." Jiang Xueming responded dumbfounded.

Although the platform was deserted, the fast-food restaurant employees were dozing off.

Nanami pursed her lips and her eyes were watery.

"I helped, right! I helped! Right!"

What can Xueming do?

He is not a shooting star, nor can he shout about courage, friendship, and bond, and then power suddenly surges up.

He stretched out his hand and shook his thumbs with Nanami——

"——Yes! Give you a thumbs up!"

But the Cauldron of Dagda is still there in Shambhala, and the omnipotent but illusory legendary sacred object is still there in Shambhala. It is the omnipotent wishing cup among alchemists, and the great cauldron that alchemists believe can lead to enlightenment and immortality. furnace.

Judas must not be allowed to get it, and the bad guys from the Alliance of Eternals must not be allowed to make any weird wishes.

At the small platform of the Death Puppet Agency, Xueming realized for the first time that she seemed to be very good at fighting——

——It seems that he has some ability and can do something.

This is the moment in the fairy tale when the warrior swings his sword for the first time, and this is where the sense of mission comes from.

Jiang Xueming climbed up the iron ladder, sat back down excitedly, and waved goodbye to Nanami in front of the platform.

"gone!"

Nanami shouted: "Come on! Work harder!"

Jiang Xueming: "Okay!"

Nanami: "I'll lend you my power! I'll lend you Jessica's power too! And all the folks at the ironworks! All of us, all of it! All of the Power! I'll give it to you!"

Jiang Xueming laughed and responded!

"Feel it! Feel it!"

Nanami raised her hands and clenched them into small fists——

"——The power of miracles has gathered together! It's all sent to you!"

This strange ritual does not bring any spiritual blessing. It looks and sounds like a child's nonsense, like the slogan shouted by the kindergarten class and the first grade brother when he performs heroic tricks in cartoons.

Jiang Xueming only felt that his heart followed these simple actions and returned to ten years ago.

"Okay! I've become stronger! I've become stronger! I'll show you how strong I am right away!"

Nanami cried and laughed at the same time.

"Yeah!~"

Let’s talk about a little episode——

——In front of the pet restaurant in the City of Tears.

A traveler stopped in front of the restaurant and retrieved his coat and hat.

"Sir, these are the coats and hats I got from a newsboy. They were stolen by this little girl while you were dining."

"Please don't blame her, and don't get angry at your family or your friends - everyone is just trying to make a living and eat."

"I have brought them back, cleaned off the cat and dog hair, sorted them out and sent them to you again. You have a serious skin disease, and there is a lot of dander on your clothes and hats. I think this chronic disease should be related to you. habits."

"You can't afford White Lady products. You love these little animals, but you are allergic to hair. Maybe you only have this set of winter clothes. It looks like it hasn't been washed in more than two months, and you can still find melons in the pockets. Nutshell.”

"I hope you can cheer up. Life won't always be painful. Miracles will always come to you."
