Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

The moment Ji Lin walked into the workshop, he was attracted by the large, quiet machine in the center of the room.

The heavy equipment composed of a large number of precise metal parts fell in the corner of the equipment warehouse, and a large number of gears and metal axles built its exquisite body:

Layers of chrome-plated gears nested in overlapping structures, progressive calculation gears overlapped and meshed, and the gear set at the bottom extended a pipe to connect to the iron-gray steam engine next to it.

Difference machine.

It was the first time that Ji Lin saw such a heavy machine driven by machinery in reality. This difference machine was wrapped in a special glass cover to prevent dust from penetrating into the internal precision components and causing blockage.

The difference machine stayed quietly in the corner, waiting for the next use.

Then he noticed that there was another person in the workshop.

A young engineer sitting in the corner, smoking a cigarette, was holding a large gear machine and dismantling it with a screwdriver in his hand.

He looked up at the Night Crow who pushed the door open and raised his eyebrows.

"New here?"

Ji Lin nodded.

He looked at the weapons hanging on the wall. The whole wall was full of short swords and long spears, and a faint silver glow was flashing in this fully enclosed workshop.

The aura of the talisman flowed under the weapons. All the weapons on this wall were cold weapons that had undergone complete talisman strengthening technology. The weapons themselves could even penetrate 5mm homogeneous steel armor.

But no matter how powerful it was, it could not make up for the defect that it was a melee weapon. The sword holder could not use this weapon to fight against the war construct.

He habitually swept his eyes across this spacious equipment workshop, trying to find a forge for blacksmithing.

The equipment workshop did not have the equipment he had thought about for making cold weapons, only a floor of machine oil and a young engineer sitting on the floor.

He did not look up, but seemed to know Ji Lin's question, and said unhappily.

"The steam forging press can make hundreds of sword blanks for you in one minute, the grinder can grind out a long sword sharper than the front, and the chrome plating technology can make the weapon in your hand cut iron like mud."

But if you want me to forge cold weapons, no.

The young engineer shrugged, and the only person who came here was Night Crow.

"My job is just to help them carve symbols that can meet their needs on the weapons. If you want any cold weapons, go to the wall over there and pick them."

Their only goal is to get weapons with higher efficiency in killing enemies.

"I know you always dislike weapons produced by machines because they have no soul, but I can assure you that every weapon in the wall is worse than that of a proper craftsman."

These guys who follow the experience of their predecessors especially like to use various...cold weapons.

And the fact is that, except for explosives, no weapon can be as useful to them as a long sword and a spear with a penetration depth of 5mm...With their own abilities, the armor-piercing ability of this weapon will be further improved.

But cold weapons are outdated after all, and users need to take great risks to use cold weapons.

"Are there any firearms?"

Ji Lin coughed lightly and took a step closer to the machine, wanting to get closer to observe this mechanical device that has been put into practical use since another historical line.

Every part inside is lubricated, but it can be seen that the managers here have great respect for this machine.

The engineer stood up and threw the disassembled gear machine aside.

"Yes, what kind of firearms do you need..."

"Automatic weapons, I need automatic weapons that can fire continuously, with a caliber as large as possible."

"7.62mm automatic rifle, loaded with magazines, eight rounds of ammunition capacity."

The engineer stood up and walked to the other wall. Ji Lin noticed that the wall was full of matte infantry firearms, but much more than the cold weapon warehouse that occupied an entire wall next to it.

He threw a rifle into Ji Lin's mouth. Ji Lin caught it and skillfully pulled open the barrel to check the loading action.

"Standard military rifle, you can try it... There is a shooting range outside, specially for you to practice weapons."

He took a long metal tube that was slightly thinner than his arm from the edge of the wall and stood on the ground to support himself like a crutch.

"Ultra-light mortar, a 2-inch/50mm thing, can be fired quickly... I heard that they all use this thing to fight against those backward mechanical symbols in Europe. Just aim at the target and fire. The direct shooting accuracy within five meters is quite good."

Infantry support armored weapons, the last desperate stage.

Although they need to be set up, I think you should use it...

New London is already developing better automatic mechanical weapons, but these are all I can give you now.

The engineer yawned and waved at the new Night Crow.

"As for ammunition, go to the ammunition depot next door and look for it yourself. There are special people there who will arrange ammunition for you. I don't like to be in the same room with a bunch of flammable and explosive items."

Ji Lin looked at the ultra-light mortar that the engineer used as a crutch. It should have a more familiar name, grenade launcher.

It is indeed a good thing to enhance infantry support firepower. With this thing, his infantry will no longer need to carry 30mm infantry guns around with great effort.

"Do you have thermite bombs?"

Ji Lin questioned the engineer in front of him. The armor on the flesh turbine required him to have a weapon that could break armor and generate high heat at the same time.

Break armor against steel plates, high temperature against flesh.

And he didn't even need a fuse. After throwing thermite, an improved fireball was enough... The same applies to throwing explosives.

"Thermite? What is that?"

The engineer showed a blank expression and didn't know what the Night Crow meant.

"A function that creates extremely high heat in a short period of time to penetrate objects. I need aluminum powder and iron oxide, or other oxidants."

The periodic table appeared in the 9th century. Ji Lin thought that the engineer should be able to understand what he was talking about.

"Aluminum powder, iron oxide, what did you do before? I remember that there was a little left when I finished my work before."

The young engineer walked to the workbench and searched for a while, then threw the two tubular objects in his hand to Ji Lin and looked at him with a little more interest.

"What are you going to do?"

Aluminum powder, iron oxide.

Provide a little more high temperature to promote the oxidation.

The suddenly rising spark jet melted the test steel plate and fell to the ground, and the flashing stars were reflected in the engineer's eyes.

He lifted the steel plate before Ji Lin and observed the steel plate that was directly penetrated by the aluminum heat... The aluminum heat should be able to produce a high temperature of 2,000 degrees in a few seconds. In later generations, this effect was generally used for welding in civilian use, and in military use, it was used to penetrate thick armor and cause casualties to personnel.

The high temperature of 2,000 degrees will act on the target body at the moment of contact.

"It's a very interesting phenomenon. I will try to use this phenomenon in weapons."

The engineer nodded, and his impression of Ji Lin was not much better.

Anyone who spends a lot of time with a group of mentally stable people who have devoted their entire lives to killing the enemy will have a pretty good impression of normalcy.

"You can call me Nicholas. It looks like they finally figured out how to recruit people from the schools. It's really annoying to deal with people who don't understand scientific terms."

"Garytown University? I haven't heard of such a university."
