Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 172
In the sacred forest by Lake Nemi, there is a big tree. Around this big tree, there is always a creepy figure wandering there alone. No matter it is day or night, people can see him at any time.

"I see." Shang Luo held up the binoculars, and the figure of the Forest King clearly appeared under the tree.He was wearing a gray-black toga robe, the hem of which was torn from being dragged on the ground, covering him like a cloak; the silver sword had no scabbard, and he used it as a walking stick.Every time he took a step, the tip of the sword would sink into the ground, so that his old body could borrow strength.

There was no expression on the forest king's face.Because his entire face was painted red—many techno-barbarians would treasure faded Roman gods, but the Romans themselves had painted statues.The skin, hair, and clothes of each god are all painted in a fixed way with fixed pigments, and they must be painted in a fixed color number.These are all written in the tourist brochure.

Red face has a special meaning in it, its meaning is life and vitality.The faces of many gods can be painted red, such as Mars, the god of war.But the red face has a special role in Rome: that is, during the triumphal ceremony, the Roman generals can get the honor of being painted red, and receive the whole salute as gods during the triumphal ceremony.So the red face here has the meaning of "superior power".

The same goes for the Jungle King.This is actually inconvenient. People have to remove makeup even if they put on makeup, and they can't keep applying oil paint on their faces.And this layer of mask-thick red paint seems to have grown on the face of the forest king, and I am afraid it will never be removed.

He goes to great lengths to swear his divinity, not just in the red face.On his head was a crown of golden laurels, but it was not a golden branch, but a golden branch.He wanted to use this method to bring Jin Zhi closer to him, but it was in vain.

The real golden branch was still on the tree: it was a laurel.If the cypress is Diana's sacred tree, then the laurel is the symbol of Diana herself.The laurel branches stretched out in all directions, and they swayed gently in the night breeze. As they swayed, the throne of the forest king was also crumbling.

Circles and circles, the figure of the forest king wandered slowly under the tree, guarding the circular open space with a radius of [-] meters around the laurel tree.But his vigilance against cold weapons didn't seem to help him understand the range of heavy machine guns.

The Dragon Tooth Soldiers have already begun to build positions.Like unpainted soldiers, they were busy.A radius of [-] meters is still too narrow, and they have to cut out more space to arrange a multi-layered firepower network.

Because there were only a hundred men, they didn't dig trenches, they dug some foxholes.The weapons team is deployed in the rear, mainly heavy machine guns and anti-tank rifles, all of which have woven a firepower net from all directions.

A company-level position slowly took shape, densely packed light and heavy firearms aimed at the forest king in the center.Just wait for the formation of the position to be completed, and then wait for an order from the back, and the attack can begin.

"Professional, so professional." Shang Luo put down the binoculars.The group of them did not rush directly to the front, but prepared to charge under the cover of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers.However, judging from the "tactical qualities" of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, they are definitely "qualified".

"It does look very professional." Wen Yuan leaned on his gun, "Is this really the standard level of Roman soldiers?"

"Do you think they can win it by themselves?"

"I don't think so. If legionnaires can solve the problem here, then every time the Romans simply send legionnaires to work. But even if it is an extraordinary existence, he will always have to block a few heavy machine guns. Block it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give him a shot and see if he can block it.” As he spoke, he shook the “big gun” in his hand.

It's really a big gun.The gun and bayonet are 1.7 meters five, a little taller than Wen Yuan himself.The shape of the whole gun is very similar to a bolt-action rifle, and it is not fully manual.The butt in particular was huge, as big as a blunt weapon.This ratio doesn't even look like a modern rifle, but rather like a muzzle-loading gun used more than a hundred years ago.In other words, it looks like a rifle used in a queue for shooting.

"Your gun. Why haven't I seen it before?"

[It's not easy for you to say this sentence.After all, you have seen 'many' things. You haven't even seen this?Then of course I haven't seen it.I can feel that there is surging phlogiston fluctuating in this gun. 】

"This? This is an experimental torch deflagration gun."

"WTF?"

"Jusu deflagration gun. Oh, you don't know, I almost forgot that you just joined the group. This is a Jusu weapon that has only recently been equipped. The initial theoretical research began more than ten years ago, and the use of cinnabar is even more A long time ago—the so-called jusu and cinnabar were our attempts to use spiritual energy before you proposed the bottled sea of ​​energy."

"Is there any difference between these and bottled Qihai?"

"The most important thing is that you can't eat it, and it's useless to eat it. Neither cinnabar nor jusu has changed the 'energy level' of the substance itself. A tank of fuel should run 100 kilometers, and it won't be able to because of the addition of aura. I ran 200 kilometers and even shortened the distance.”

"Then what's the use of these things?"

"Its usefulness lies in marking objects with aura, so that the spiritual consciousness of Qi practitioners can affect the explosion process, because there is such a reason: no matter how you increase the propellant powder, increase the chamber pressure, lengthen the barrel, etc., The expansion speed of gunpowder gas has a limit. This limit is about 1 to 4 kilometers per second, and 4 kilometers is the limit of the limit. It is only a theoretical value. Because the relative tube velocity of the fluid in the equal-diameter tube will not exceed the fluid itself speed of sound."

"Then your gun"

"That's right. Starting from cinnabar, weapons using cinnabar can exceed this speed. This is the function of cinnabar. Although it does not change the energy contained in the gunpowder itself, it can allow us to speed up the process and even break through the physical limit. And This torch gun is an evolution of the cinnabar gunpowder used in the past - 21 years ago, Yingtian Chemical Manufacturing Institute developed the torch technology, which broke through the bottleneck that cinnabar itself can only be mixed with solid gunpowder. They combined aura and liquid Mix the explosives to make Jusu. Jusu is much more convenient than cinnabar."

He turned the gun upside down:

"The bottom of the butt is where the torch is loaded. Well, it's actually very similar to an old-fashioned firecracker. I remember that some of the oldest repeating guns used the butt to store bullets, and some used it to store gas cylinders. Now this butt holds It’s actually only a small bottle to store the torch. Because we can control the speed of deflagration, a little high-energy torch can accelerate the projectile to a terrifying level.”
