Douluo's Bacchus

Chapter 442 The Tranquility Before the Storm

"In addition to standard muskets, there are also armor-piercing guns suitable for bullets with armor-piercing effects, magic-breaking guns suitable for bullets with magic-breaking effects, burst guns suitable for bullets with burst effects, and sniper rifles with ultra-long range , and [-] machine guns that can be fired in bursts each, for a total of [-] shots!" Lou Qing continued to report.

There are many guns that Chen Hu just put forward an idea, and the blueprints are not perfect. These are all researched by Lou Qing and the students of Jiwu Academy, and they have been manufactured on a large scale, which shows that the performance test has satisfied the use. .

"Well done!" Chen Hu exclaimed.

Abducting Lou Qing from Gengxin City was really the most correct choice he made. The firearms in his hands really reappeared in another world.

Lou Qing nodded and continued to report: "In terms of bullets, there are [-] bullets in one set. At present, we only need [-] sets of ordinary bullets, [-] sets each of armor-piercing bullets, magic-breaking bullets, explosive bullets, and sniper bullets. The bullets are still ordinary bullets.”

If Qiang has no bullets, it will be a pile of broken copper and iron. The firearms factory has a large stock of bullets, which is enough for a large-scale war.

This is also the war resource that Lou Qing has been actively stockpiling since the founding of the Wuhun Temple, otherwise he would actually be more inclined to research on firearms such as armor-piercing guns.

Lou Qing is the director of the firearms factory, and he also deeply understands the importance and lethality of firearms as a strategic weapon, so he is also sparing no effort to promote the manufacture of firearms.

This is not the end.

Lou Qing took a deep breath and continued: "The cannon paper given to me by the city lord has been improved and researched, and we have overcome a lot of technical difficulties not long ago and completed the test and manufacture of the first cannon. The manufacture of twelve cannons has been completed, and the fire ammunition is simpler, and it can be manufactured continuously if the materials are sufficient!"

Facing the siege of spirit beasts, the power of muskets is actually limited. Soul beasts have strong vitality, and their bodies far surpass soul masters. The damage caused by muskets to them is actually not terrible. Only a large-scale gun array formed by a hail of bullets can fight against the tide of beasts. But the cost performance must not be too high.

The cost of bullets is not cheap!

If it wasn't for Chen Hu's looting of the imperial treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire and the full support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it would not have been easy for Lou Qing to manufacture so many firearms.

Compared with muskets, cannons are undoubtedly much more powerful against spirit beasts.

In addition to artillery guns, firearms factories also have research on throwing firearms such as grenades and grenades, but the investment is not too much, and the quantity is relatively limited.

Chen Hu took a deep breath and said: "Brother Lou Qing, one year, I will give you one year, the firearms factory will temporarily stop the follow-up firearms update research, and devote all efforts to the production of firearms and artillery. After one year, I hope that the standard firearms will The total number of guns will reach [-], the number of all kinds of special firearms will be doubled to [-], and then the total number of cannons will also reach [-], the more ammunition the better, can it be done?"

After hearing Chen Hu's request, Lou Qing frowned and said, "I need more money to buy steel and other materials."

As soon as Lou Qing opened his mouth, Brother Pi patted his chest and assured him: "The Financial and Commercial Department will fully cooperate with Master Lou."

Ning Fengzhi also said: "Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School also has money left over, so I can fully support Master Lou!"

To say that Dionysus City is most dependent on the Firearms Factory is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Shunfeng Clan.

Bai He also wanted to speak, but realized that he didn't want the Qibao Glazed Tile Sect to be rich, so he could only say in a muffled voice, "If Master Lou has a need, the Shunfeng clan can also be ordered by the master!"

"Then it's no problem!" Lou Qing nodded, with Brother Youpi's words and the support of Qibao Glazed Tile School, it is not a problem to complete Chen Hu's goal in a year.

Chen Hu turned his head to look at Ning Fengzhi, and asked, "Uncle Ning, what is the current population of Dionysus City?"

Ning Fengzhi is the director of the Administration Department, and he knows the situation in Dionysus City best.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, and said: "Currently, there are 37 people registered in Dionysus City, of which the total number of soul masters from each department is 520, and the Lingming clan is 340..."

37 million people.

Although there are affiliated relatives of clans such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Hu never imagined that Dionysus City would absorb so many residents in just three years.

"Uncle Ning has worked hard in the past few years." Chen Hu said, starting from scratch, managing more than 30 people is still in an orderly manner. Ning Fengzhi's ability is one aspect, and the hard work and energy he has put in are far beyond imagination.

In fact, these are only the registered personnel of Dionysus City, as well as businessmen, tourists, and students. The permanent population of Dionysus City is no less than 50.

As for the more than 7000 soul masters registered in Dionysus City, in addition to the more than 3000 soul masters in Qibao Liulizong itself, there are also more than 1000 soul master students in Jiwu Academy, and the remaining nearly [-] soul masters are all admirers. The young soul master of Wu Qiren.

More than 7000 soul masters, the number even exceeds the soul masters recruited by the Heaven Dou Empire, they are a decisive force no matter where they are placed.

Of course, this doesn't mean that there are 7000 soul masters in Dionysus City who can join the war.

After all, some of the seven thousand soul masters are only first- and second-ring soul masters, great soul masters, who don't have much fighting power in the war, and there are also auxiliary-type soul masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

However, the members of the three thousand Lingming clan are also a powerful force.

Moreover, the Lingming clan is naturally intelligent and can learn everything quickly. The most important firearms factory in Dionysus City can be built in a short period of time, but to this extent, the Lingming clan also contributed a lot.

Three years have passed, and Dionysus City has become more and more inseparable from the Lingming clan.

The Lingming family is very important in the development of Dionysus City.

"This is what I should do." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Chen Hu nodded, looked at Luo Feng, and asked, "Brother Luo Feng, how many soldiers are there in Dionysus City?"

Lin Xiaoxiao is the director of the Military Intelligence Department, but she followed Chen Hu to Sea God Island. Like Chen Hu, she was a hands-off shopkeeper, and Luo Feng was in charge of the military affairs of Dionysus City.

Luo Feng said: "The Dionysus City has Bawang, Xuanjia, and Shendao armies. Each army has 5000 people, a total of 5000 people. Then there are 500 people in the Firearms Battalion, 1 people in the Reserve Battalion, and 1000 people in the Soul Master Battalion. There are more than 1 other auxiliary soldiers, the guards of the major clans and colleges..."

The Overlord Army is Lin Xiaoxiao's old Overlord Iron Cavalry. It originally had 5000 troops. Later, Luo Feng asked people to expand the number to 5000. They are the most elite cavalry among the three armies of Dionysus City.

Both the Xuanjia and Shendao armies were established following the example of the Overlord's Iron Cavalry, and most of the school officers were soldiers from the Overlord's Iron Cavalry. Under the leadership of Luo Feng, they also participated in many small-scale battles between the two empires and the Wuhun Empire. Combat, rich combat experience.

The total number of soldiers in Dionysus City's army is close to 37, which is already a high proportion for Dionysus City with a population of only [-], but it is also a very normal thing in this special era.

Chen Hu thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, the number of the Overlord Army will remain the same, and the Xuanjia Army and the Divine Sword Army will each transfer 5000 people into the Firearms Battalion to form a Firearms Army, all equipped with firearms, and the 1 people in the Reserve Battalion are also inclined To cultivate in the direction of the firearms army, 3000 people from each of the original three armies were also transferred to form separate firearms battalions to train with the firearms army to learn and use firearms..."

The advent of firearms is bound to change the situation of cold weapons wars.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of firearms was not enough to equip the entire army, Chen Hu even wanted to equip all the soldiers with firearms, but now Chen Hu also wants to gradually transform the army of Dionysus City into an army of firearms.

For the Firearms Army and the Three-Service Firearms Battalion, at least two-thirds of the [-] firearms produced by the Firearms Factory in the future will be used in the army.

Luo Feng had long coveted the firearms from the firearms factory, and when he heard Chen Hu's arrangement, he immediately shouted happily: "Yes!"

Ning Fengzhi and Bai He's eyes flashed a hint of distress. These are at least 2 muskets. In Dionysus City, they are the ones who rely on muskets the most.

Chen Hu continued: "The remaining firearms are given priority to the soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Shunfeng clan..."

Ning Fengzhi and Bai He smiled happily.

Chen Hudao: "Everyone, the battle is imminent. I hope that you will actively prepare for the battle, and you will definitely guard our Dionysus City well..."

After this meeting, Dionysus City was like a precision machine, which began to operate in an orderly manner. The firearms factory was undoubtedly the core of the machine in Dionysus City, and a steady stream of firearms were manufactured in the firearms factory. Then put it into use.

From this day on, gunshots from the city of Dionysus continued, like thunder, and it became a great spectacle in the city of Dionysus.

And Chen Hu, Lin Xiaoxiao, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Qi, Toli, Zhong Lixue, Ye Mei, Ge Ding, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang and other younger generation soul masters are all working hard to improve their soul masters. strength.

However, there are not many strong people staying in Dionysus City at this moment. Chen Hu has won the fortune of heaven and earth, and many people have reached a bottleneck and need to hunt and kill soul beasts to absorb soul rings.

The Great Star Dou Forest is extremely dangerous, and there is only one place that everyone can choose to hunt for spirit rings, the Sunset Forest.

But after returning from the setting sun forest, everyone started penance again.

Even Hu Liena did not choose to return to Wuhun City, but continued to practice in Dionysus City.

And Bibi Dong was also noncommittal about this, as Tang Chen fully fused the power of Tang Hao and the blood-red nine-headed Bat King, went to Sea God Island and returned to the Heaven Dou Empire, and sat on the battlefield of the Heaven Dou Empire, Bibi Dong could not pay attention Do not go back to the two empires.

However, both sides seem to be waiting for something, and both are restraining. Neither side chooses to launch an attack first, and the number of small-scale battles between the two countries is also much smaller.

The mainland also began to fall into a rare period of calm.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

All parties are accumulating their own strength, waiting for the emergence of a force that breaks the balance.
