Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

The officer touched the blue-feathered bird that had been standing on his shoulder. The latter seemed to have no intention of leaving his shoulder.

An apron has been built on the lawn next to the outpost specifically to provide territorial aerospace crafts with landings. Two Seagull-class carriers are parked here.

It was named by the developer of the aerostat. He originally wanted to name it the Seabird class, but he always felt that the name was weird, so he finally changed it to the better-sounding Seagull class.

The officer walked through these man-made objects that were slightly larger than steam spiders. Even if he had seen them several times, it was still so surprising to see them now. Each transport ship can carry three infantry pods, hang two steam spiders, and carry a total of two platoons of 60 combat soldiers plus a week's worth of combat supplies to deploy to the target location.

About to launch a tentative attack on a large island, the airport in charge of preparations seemed very busy.

"This is?"

The officer looked curiously at the piles on the ground. Boxes upon boxes were placed on the ground. The boxes were filled with dark white cylinders arranged side by side.

From the smell of gunpowder wafting in the air, he could probably tell that this was the new bullet that the general in charge of them had been talking about.

"Report sir! We are counting the bullet supplies sent from the territory!"

The soldier saluted him and explained to him.

"These are the latest paper-cased bullets sent from the territory. They have been tested and handed over to us for use."

The work on the paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition has entered a suspended state... In other words, the design of the paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition at this stage has been completed. After research, the dean of the academy found that if the long-barreled musket was to use a paper shell bullet structure consisting of a primer, propellant, and warheads, the entire musket would have to be redesigned.

Redesigning a hammer-type musket into a breech-loaded musket with a firing pin, and also introducing primer technology was not an ordinary project, so he slightly created paper shell bullets for use in the transitional stage to increase the loading speed. .

However, the bullets and gunpowder were simply packed in cardboard boxes, and the bottom of the cardboard boxes was torn open when the soldiers needed to fire. First, pour a small amount of gunpowder into the gun chamber, then use iron fiber to push the torn paper shell at the lower end into the gun chamber, pull the trigger, and ignite the opened propellant at the bottom.

Fire.

The excessive temperature of the crystal propellant will quickly burn out the paper shell, and the unburned paper shell will be sprayed out of the muzzle, which will not affect the next firing. The pressure generated by this special propellant is different from the The temperature is higher than that of ordinary muskets.

Of course, if you fire more than twenty times in a row, it will still have a certain impact on the design of the firearm.

This shortens the infantry loading process by several steps. Soldiers no longer need to think carefully about shaking the powder from the medicine bag, then taking out the projectile, and pushing it deep with iron fiber to hold it. If this one accidentally falls to the ground, immediately replace it with the next paper shell.

This kind of paper shell bullet was tested by the college director to find the optimal thickness of the paper shell, which not only keeps the packaging intact, but also uses up the remaining packaging shell to the maximum extent every time it is fired.

The time spent by soldiers loading ammunition on the battlefield is transferred to the territory's citizens. The territory has specially designed ammunition workshops for the territory's citizens to configure and package such disposable paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition.

Ten thousand rounds of single-point rifle bullets, and ten thousand rounds of mixed shot shells.

The first ammunition supplies from the territory.

"All the supplies for this round have been delivered. Are you confident that you can get a foothold on the large empty island?"

Ji Lin drew an attack route on the sand table, aiming directly at the one closest to this 께-shaped sky island, one of the three largest sky islands in the fragmented world.

An empty island that has never been developed in the records of adventurers. The kingdom they belong to, which is famous for spells and runes, focuses on the development of the other two empty islands, and only controls one third of them. areas that are not accessible.

He doesn't really want to compete with those people, because due to their attack, the local wildlife is very concentrated in the remaining two-thirds of the area. If they choose those two empty islands that are being developed, their offensive and defensive pressure will be huge...very huge.

It will take time to improve the territory's industry.

This is not a multiple choice question.

Undeveloped super large sky islands are their final option... Moreover, complete ruins are most likely to appear on large sky islands.

This is a tentative attack. If the tentative attack is successful, he will not hesitate to send troops to establish an outpost on the empty island.

As for why he did not choose other types of air islands, it was because he was too short of soldiers. There were three hundred people in total, three companies of soldiers, and at least one company-level unit must be stationed on an air island to maintain stability. Then the number of attacking troops that can be dropped on an empty island will be greatly reduced. The quality of his troops is very high...the training period is not short.

Physical training, shooting, fighting, marching, and tactical training.

The next batch of 300 soldiers will have to wait until the total population of the territory reaches 10,000 before being drawn from the militia and trained to become regular troops - otherwise the territory's industrial base really cannot support such a standing army.

Bullets, firearms, structures, supplies, maintenance losses.

"Lord, I promise to complete the mission!"

The general in gray military uniform stood up straight and shouted his answer loudly.

Afterwards, Chang Heng and Ji Lin looked at the large sand table drawn based on a map with only a corner of the edge captured from the adventurer's aerostat. This map may not be correct... The islands in the sea will not move, but in the air Islands really do shift over time.

Compared to sea islands, sky islands can be observed from many times farther away. The larger the sky islands, the more obvious they can be observed with the naked eye from a distance. However, clouds often cover many sky islands, revealing their corners in front of people.

This is even more of a test for pilots and observers.

Some observers will regard the occasional cloud whales that jump out of the clouds as part of the island.
