There are several types of weapons similar to flamethrowers stored in this warehouse. Basically, they are weapons that are generally correct but have various problems in some details.
Fortunately, Lawrence has the memory of two worlds, so he can find some more suitable uses for these weapons.
For example, a flamethrower can be used with a small steam engine on a carriage, thus eliminating the need for the production of the only auxiliary parts of the injector that require extraordinary strength.
Although the weapon has changed from a light individual weapon to a heavy weapon after this transformation, according to calculations, the new flamethrower has been greatly improved in both range and duration.
More importantly, these new flamethrowers can be produced by ordinary people, which means they are easy to popularize. If you consider that the enemies in the mountains this time are likely to have a complex enough cave system, these flamethrowers
Ejectors are obviously very valuable.
Just like a normal magical world, this world also has magic similar to flamethrower effects and scrolls or magic props that can use this magic. But considering the number of spellcasters and the cost of magic props, this method is obviously
It cannot be spread to every place where it is needed.
"Putting it on the car is indeed convenient for transportation, but what about the front line?" Nora, who had been silent before, suddenly asked, "I think even if you compress the volume, the fuel tank and steam engine are equivalent to an entire carriage carriage.
Due to its size, it is not very convenient to transport it to where it is needed in mountainous areas."
"I think this is easy to solve. It only requires one or two simple spells to reduce its weight and let everyone carry it manually. After all, most of the time this kind of thing is only used to clean up the cave after dealing with the enemies on the surface.
Work, so there is no need to pursue too fast speed or too high defense."
After listening to Nora's question, Lawrence answered very seriously. "As for the few wartime missions, I remember that there was a six-legged puppet on the front line for transportation. It was enough to temporarily install this flamethrower on
A certain amount of armor should be added to it to complete this front-line mission."
Lawrence also admitted that the mobility of this kind of weapon is indeed much worse than that of spell casters, but compared with those spell casters, this kind of machine is more convenient to mobilize and cheaper. It can also avoid certain spell casters.
There are serious risks you may run into by going too far forward.
After all, as magic supplies, the prices of magic props and magic scrolls in this area have always been high. It is not cost-effective to burn a cave with only a few goblins with a scroll worth tens or hundreds of yuan. And it is impossible for people to do so.
Let them do this at the risk of losing the caster.
In addition to flamethrowers, there are also many various weapons that Ou Ren and the technicians in the factory have tinkered with. However, most of these items are weapons that look good but are not actually that useful.
.For example, this is the case with sticky bombs that were originally designed to explode in certain special locations or attack giant monsters.
This thing is a heavy-duty grenade with a thick layer of glue on the outside and a thick cardboard shell. According to theory, when encountering a location that needs to be blasted or some large monsters, the user can open the thick cardboard
The shell throws the grenade towards the target, causing the grenade to stick to the target and explode.
It sounds like a very good design. After all, artillery on the battlefield cannot support every place that needs support at any time, and the same is true for extraordinary people. Therefore, it is very valuable to allow ordinary infantry to gain the ability to kill those large monsters.
matter.
But the problem is that during the experiment, they discovered that this thing is more willing to stick to the clothes or weapons and equipment of soldiers than the dust or sand-covered skin of monsters.
The same is true for the explosive magic crystal grenade. After adding explosive magic crystal and magic metal, it can cause obvious damage to monsters with extraordinary abilities. At the same time, it can also avoid the explosion phenomenon caused by violent vibration when the artillery fires these things.
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to throw such a heavy grenade too far with the arm strength. If you consider the huge damage range of this bomb, Lawrence feels that this kind of thing is more suitable for making explosive vests.
So after spending half an hour looking at everything in the warehouse, Lawrence ordered ten steam engine versions of flamethrowers and 50 optical sighting systems for modified military rifles.
At least when fighting in mountainous areas, Lawrence felt that optical sights that could increase the effective range were more valuable than other fancy weapons.
After completing the equipment selection, Lawrence and Nora returned to the temporary station with the three mechanics who voluntarily followed them.
Three days later in the afternoon, when Lawrence received the things he needed at the train station and loaded them into his own carriage, the order from the command finally arrived.
The reason why it took so long was because it was only two days ago that the frontline troops penetrated into the mountainous area and successfully recaptured Pine Valley. Therefore, even if the frontline tried its best to complete the finishing and survey work, it was not until the second day after the recapture that the preliminary survey was completed.
Working with logistics crews like Lawrence to inspect and clear out the premises required.
After receiving the transfer order, the medical team on Sauer Island immediately organized, and then boarded the commuter train at the pier and went straight to the train station. Then everyone boarded the heavy intercontinental armored train assigned to them.
car. Less than half an hour after my family got on the train, the train slowly pulled out of the station.
"If everything goes well, we will be able to arrive at the St. John's Fortress at the mouth of the valley tomorrow." Lawrence said to Nora while looking at the scene of quickly retreating out of the window.
"It's just that there is still about thirty kilometers of mountain roads from this fortress to our destination. I'm a little worried about the supplies and equipment we brought -"
"This is indeed a problem. At least the information I have seen all points out that the road is relatively difficult to pass, so that some artillery and baggage transportation need to rely on extraordinary beings." After hearing what Lawrence said, Nora also showed thoughts on her face.
"If the road is bad, I will fly more often."
It has to be said that the little doll has the characteristics of a crow's mouth in some aspects. After the train arrived at the St. Joseph Fortress, they discovered that this not-so-large fortress and around it were filled with people, all because of the impassable roads.
The materials and some logistics personnel are blocked here.
"Holy Visby Empire New Saul Island Field Hospital? Let me see - yes, it's right here." In the dispatch office, the colonel sitting in front of Lawrence just opened the book in his hand and checked it before saying
He said, "You should be in the first category of personnel now, which means that your transportation sequence belongs to the first batch."
"Then when can we set off?" Lawrence asked the colonel in front of him. Because he entered a war zone, Lawrence now also put on his own colonel uniform of the Holy Visby Empire. And this military uniform and epaulettes
The silver-white four-pointed colonel star made the colonel in front of him, who looked extremely irritable at first glance, look much calmer.
"Then you need to wait until daytime tomorrow." The colonel said after glancing at the list in his hand again. "Because the safety of airships flying at night is not very high, so important personnel and materials like you must fly during the day when the weather is good.
It can be transported only when the time comes.”
"Can't we go to Pine Valley through that mountain road?" Lawrence asked with some confusion when he heard that he was going to take the airship. "When I came here, I saw many people walking towards the front line from that mountain road."
"You really can't." The colonel adjusted his glasses on his nose and said. "There are too many supplies in your team that need to be handled with care, so it is not suitable to use that rugged mountain road to advance."
