Chapter 620: Doubts about defensive challenges, rune firearm technology [5K]
At the end, the strategy module mentioned something about defensive challenges.
Doubts about the defensive challenge also emerged in Zong Shen's mind.
The previous announcement was regarded as a forward-looking announcement challenging the situation, but in fact the rules were not described in detail.
Zong Shen still has a lot of doubts and ideas about defensive challenges.
Taking this opportunity, he planned to ask about the strategy module together. Only by clearing up the doubts in his heart early could he be better prepared and arranged for the challenge.
"How will defensive challenges be handled for territorial citizens who are not within the territory? Will those territorial citizens be attacked?"
(For the subjects who are not within the territory and are included in the command value, they will be dealt with according to the number of killed. Your epic big bag can come in handy. For the subjects with weak combat power, they can be put into the big bag to avoid
Affected by the defensive battle, the casualty rate will not increase significantly due to leaving the territory.
The defensive challenge will comprehensively evaluate the comprehensive strength in the territory and match you with evenly matched enemies. Casualties are inevitable, and it is good to reduce them by even one percent. Other lords do not have props like big pockets, so make good use of your own
Advantages, don’t take them lightly)
The strategy module can basically understand the information that has a clear conclusion.
Of course, the strategy module is not useful for things that have not yet been clearly determined.
It cannot predict the future from nothing.
But even so, the function of the strategy module is incredible enough.
Just the information gap between him and ordinary lords is as big as clouds and mud.
This time, the tips and notes given by the strategy module are particularly long, and they seem to have a somewhat "serious and thoughtful" feel.
It seems that we have to recall those brats in the mine in advance.
Those kobolds are all included in the command value.
As for the griffons, manticores, lions and skeleton knights, those that indirectly control them don't matter.
Whether they are killed in defensive battles or outside the territory, it will not affect the casualty rate of the territory's citizens.
It is a kind of foreign aid that takes care of itself.
But those who can participate in the war must have a direct or indirect contractual relationship with Zong Shen.
This meant that the lords could not easily take advantage of the natives.
Even Baron Bezos and Zong Shen do not have a clear contract, leadership, or superior-subordinate relationship.
So even if Zong Shen could persuade Baron Bezos to bring the city army to support him, it would be useless.
Due to the identity of the aborigines, the opponent may not even be able to see the monsters in the defensive challenge.
"What kind of enemies will I face in a defensive challenge?"
Zong Shen squinted his eyes and quickly scanned each line of prompts, and then asked the second question.
(Before the challenge starts, the attack template will be randomly selected and will only be revealed after the selection. Any template will be suppressed to the same level as the territory's strength)
"Attack template...randomly selected?"
Zong Shen probably understood in his heart.
In other words, anything is possible in a defensive battle against the enemy who is responsible for attacking.
Maybe you will draw the human kingdom or the orcs, elves, dwarves and other ethnic groups.
It is also possible to draw enemies from different dimensions to attack the territory.
But no matter what, the strength of these enemies will be limited and stuck just on the territory's comprehensive strength line.
The overall strength of the territory is a very complex multi-dimensional data.
Including the strength of the lord, defensive buildings, the quantity and quality of warriors, various props that can be used in battle, and the defense score of the territory, all will be calculated.
This is why Zong Shen dare not take it lightly.
This is true even if he has collected many high-level scrolls and goblin bombs in advance.
These potential means must be strengthened by the enemy in some form.
If this defensive challenge can be easily overcome, then it will not be worthy of the meaning of the "final exam". Everyone must go all out, whether it is Zong Shen or other lords.
Therefore, this defensive challenge is relatively fair in a certain respect.
[Encloser's flag (orange)] is a flag about three meters in length.
You can choose a place to place it with just a thought.
Up to three flags can be placed.
When three flags are destroyed unanimously within 24 hours, [Enclosurer's Flag (Orange)] will be damaged.
Once a single flag is destroyed, the opportunity to enclosure will be completely lost.
That is to say, a single enclosure is permanent and cannot be pulled out even if you regret it.
These three opportunities must be used with caution.
The mine must be prepared for enclosure.
There is a full fifty or sixty kilometers away from the territory. If you want to wait until the territory expands there, you must at least upgrade the territory to level fifty or sixty.
In addition to the mines, it is also necessary to delineate the poisonous swamps in the south.
As long as it is properly developed, it can become a supplement to agricultural and pastoral areas.
Zong Shen has two options for the remaining spot.
The first is the undeveloped gem mine near the griffin's nest in the northern mountain forest.
The second is the lake where the Riptide Tribe fishmen live.
These two options are currently pending.
After thinking for a while, Zong Shen put the [Encloser's Flag (orange)] into the storage compartment and took out a firearm about one meter long with his backhand.
This firearm feels a bit like a matchlock gun in Earth.
But there is a big difference.
The first is the caliber of the gun barrel, which is at least 20 mm. According to earth standards, this is already the caliber of a machine gun.
Secondly, this thing is breech-loaded and has a machine cover similar to a metal screw breech.
When firing, you must open the cover and load the projectiles.
There are clearly carved riflings in the barrel, which can rotate the projectile and improve accuracy and penetration.
This was beyond Zong Shen's previous expectations.
It seemed that the musket technology in this world was not as backward as he thought.
The barrel is silvery white in color, with no runes engraved on the surface, only fine lines left after forging. This is typical rune forging technology.
Forging runes into the material itself can give the material better properties without the need to carve additional runes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, materials that have undergone rune forging technology can still be carved with runes on the outside, so that they can have multiple attributes at the same time.
This is why rune forging skills are so famous in the mainland.
However, the rune forging materials used in normal mass-produced equipment do not have additional runes engraved on them.
Carrying out double portrayal is a test of the level of magic power.
Only a super master can complete it.
The rune gun in your hand is the material product of the first layer of runes.
This firearm does not have much buffer structure, and only the rear butt can be used for shoulder shooting.
For alien warriors, especially those short, dark and thick dwarf musketeers, the recoil is just a cloud, and the recoil below this point is simply water.
There is a trigger and a shoulder strap below, but there is no bayonet port in the front.
It seems that the dwarf musketeers are not in the habit of stabbing at close range.
Compared to bayonets, they still prefer to use axes or one-handed hammers as secondary weapons.
Zong Shen looked at the rune gun in his hand and began to check its properties.
[Type 4 Rune Fire Gun (Purple)]
【Hands】
[Quality: rare grade]
[Piercing damage: 76~79]
[Effective range: 350 meters]
[Maximum range: 550 meters]
[Effective shooting height: 200 meters]
[The effective range does not represent the actual range, and the power of projectiles will not be significantly reduced within this range]
[Durability: 500]
[Strength required: 35]
[Requires agility: 25]
[Shooting interval: 5 seconds]
[After shooting 60 rounds of projectiles continuously, the gun chamber will enter an overheating state and you need to stop shooting for 10 minutes]
[Forced shooting under overheating will greatly reduce the durability of the gun]
[Skill: Continuous shooting LV10 (no status required, ignores shooting cooling, fires three projectiles continuously, causing 1.2 times puncture damage to the target, cooling time 2 hours)
Passive skill: Positional tactics LV5 (when entering the fortress or the shooting position of the position, the projectiles will gain higher accuracy)】
(Sir, times have changed)
The rune musket is heavy, and its weight far exceeds that of ordinary long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.
The piercing damage is also much higher than that of rare-level bows.
Just like bows and crossbows consume arrows, each shot of this thing also consumes projectiles.
Fortunately, the treasure boxes are quite considerate and are given in batches.
Zong Shen searched in the storage compartment and took out a basketball-sized pocket, which contained a set of three armed belts.
There are cone-shaped projectiles hanging on each belt.
The caliber of these projectiles exactly matches the barrel.
It looks very impressive.
Each projectile has its own cartridge case and primer.
It looks similar to the principle of ammunition crafting on Earth.
It's just that the raw materials are different.
The primers in the earth are basically made of mercury fulminate as the main material, plus a potassium chlorate-free firing agent, making it a custom-made primer with a high safety factor.
The primer here is a tiny red crystal wafer.
It's about the same size as a fish eyeball.
After Zong Shen studied this, he took out an alloy projectile from his armed belt and took a look at its properties.
[Alloy projectile with primer (blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Piercing damage: 40]
[Armor Break: 15]
(Amazingly powerful alloy projectiles need to be used with a suitable rune gun.
The power of projectiles is huge, but the cost is much higher than that of arrows and crossbows, which limits the overall development of muskets. In addition to cost, muskets paired with projectiles with excellent performance can exert far more power than crossbows of the same level.
In addition, muskets, like crossbows, can be put to use after simple shooting and aiming training. Of course, if you want to shoot accurately, you also need to train with a large number of projectiles)
"sure!"
"The projectiles alone come with 40 points of additional piercing damage and 15 points of armor-piercing effect!"
After adding these alloy projectiles to the [Type 4 Rune Fire Gun], the piercing damage can reach more than 100 points.
You can achieve this level of damage without any skills. This is the charm of the gun!
In other words, as long as they meet the equipment requirements, a soldier who has received simple training can become an amateur musketeer with good long-range killing capabilities.
But the guide is right, because the materials and processes are different.
As a result, the otherworldly version of the musket is extremely expensive to make and the craftsmanship is more complicated.
It's just that the principles are basically the same.
This reflects the importance of materials science to scientific progress.
Even if Zong Shen is researching muskets, he still has to try to rely on the technology tree on Earth.
However, this cannot be rushed after all, and the development of the plan can be promoted from two aspects.
First of all, we must recruit as many relevant talents as possible from the Endless Continent.
Secondly, you have to start from the lords.
Looking for some original technical talents.
Even Zong Shen suspected that there were already lords in the continent who had started researching earth firearms.
In fact, high-precision thermal weapons do require a certain industrial foundation.
But if you start with early firearms, you have a chance to reproduce them.
There is no need to rush this matter, we can study it later.
He grabbed the extracted alloy projectile and rune musket and walked towards the entrance of the fortress.
Pulling open the bolt cover, Zong Shen stuffed the alloy projectile into the gun chamber.
After locking the machine cover and resetting the firing pin, Zong Shen placed the butt of the gun on his shoulder and used a simple crosshair to aim.
The target is chosen as the tower wall of the Lord’s Fortress!
As part of the territorial architecture, the walls of the tower can be repaired after damage.
After taking some aim, Zong Shen directly pulled the trigger.
The tower is a big target, so even if he doesn't have shooting talent, he doesn't have to worry about missing the target.
When the trigger was pulled, the primer suffered a violent impact.
Vibrations and explosions followed immediately.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, gray-white gunpowder smoke spurted out from the front of the muzzle.
Visible to the naked eye, a large light spot came out of the hole.
It hit the wall of the fortress tower a hundred or two hundred meters away.
"boom!"
The sound of impact came, and the tower only suffered dozens of points of damage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, a gap the size of a teacup appeared at the location of the attack.
It's not the fault of the weak musket power, but the high defense of the tower.
Zong Shen blew the gun smoke from the muzzle and silently put down the musket.
He discovered several things from the shooting just now.
First of all, the rune musket projectile's exit speed is not very high.
Secondly, the magic gunpowder and the chip-like primer will produce a large amount of gunpowder smoke after collision and deflagration.
It's almost as good as black powder.
As for the power, it can only be considered average.
If a musket team can be formed and fired in a platoon formation, it will be miraculous against large-scale impact enemies. After all, the alloy projectiles have their own kinetic energy and can suppress the impact.
He put away the rune musket and walked down the steps.
He quickly walked to the wall of the city tower.
The shooting just now left a bullet hole on the tower at a height of about two meters.
The bullet hole shattered the wall, but the damage was not serious.
The defensive capabilities of the seventh-level city lord's fortress are astonishing, and it is normal that the mere fourth-level musket cannot perform any feats.
Zong Shen stared at the location of the bullet hole, slightly bent his knees and jumped up.
From the bullet hole, the flattened shrapnel was found.
To deal with such a solid wall, alloy projectiles are still insufficient.
You have to refer to the armor-piercing and armor-breaking bullets on Earth.
"Forget it, let's leave it to Iron Hand Barenke to study it!"
"It just so happens that I still remember the proportions of black powder."
"We should find an opportunity to chat in the area and see if there are any lords who were engaged in chemical industry or military industry before the arrival."
Zong Shen thought for a while and suppressed his desire to research.
In addition to acquiring and projectiles, the last golden treasure chest also gives two books.
One is an all-black advanced book, and the other is a book about magic gunpowder.
He just stood in the fortress courtyard and took out the advanced book first.
[Necromancer Advanced Book (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Can be used on third-level necromancers]
[Promote it to a fourth-level intermediate necromancer (Necromancer)]
(Tasia, who has been secretly competing with Aishia, is finally able to advance. During the days when she is silently working for you, I hope to get your care. While taking into account her development, she should not let down these good girls.
they)
This advanced book can be used by Tasia just right.
Now he is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more high-level warriors in his territory.
Zong Shen somewhat neglected these girls who had followed him since the early days of his arrival.
A kind of estrangement is arising unconsciously.
"It is necessary to form a Guards."
"Except for those high-level warriors, I just want the girls to stay with me."
"I assume Luna won't be jealous, right?"
Zong Shen thought about it and realized that Luna was indeed the only one to be favored.
In this way, it seems that he treats other girls favorably.
"As a lord, it should be okay to have more wives, right?"
Those girls were different from Vereesa. They had a deep affection for Zong Shen, and everyone knew it.
And in terms of qualifications, they are all similar to Luna.
In addition to the harmonious beasts, those who restricted Zong Shen from accepting a harem were also those vegetarian lords.
In addition, Zong Shen's busy schedule every day is also a very important reason.
For a guy like him, he wishes he could break one day into a month.
There are more things to pay attention to, so naturally there will be less attention devoted to those girls.
He's done everything, he's a scumbag.
He doesn't do anything and is a scumbag.
Zong Shen curled his lips, stopped thinking so much for the time being, and put away the advanced book.
Tasia pre-orders this advanced book!
She and Vereesa went to pick up the Lion and Skeleton Knight, and they should be back soon.
Next is the book.
[Book: "History of the Development of Magic Gunpowder"]
[Reading time: 240 hours. After reading all, you will master the corresponding magic gunpowder technology]
[Reading effect: Wisdom 5]
[Each person can only read it completely once and enjoy the attribute bonus of one reading effect]
(Introductory technical book on magic gunpowder)
This is a technology-related book.
It just so happened that Zong Shen had drawn a technical book called "Introduction to Rune Firearms" from the blind points box.
The two books seem to complement each other.
Magic gunpowder and rune firearms form a complete technical system.
This book Zong Shen will deposit it in the library as usual.
At the same time, the dwarf uncle and the goblin engineer will be notified to go to the library to read.
In addition, Zong Shen also plans to use his spare soul to awaken a special instructor who is good at rune forging technology, engineering, and alchemy technology to cultivate talents.
At the same time, you can also guide the dwarf uncle and goblin engineer!
