Utopia

So in April, the temperature began to get a little cold. Sogen still brought his secretary, Beth, who had been responsible for recording and keeping secrets, out of a farm. They couldn't help but sigh at the fact that the seasons in the New World were completely opposite to those in the Old World.

"The weather in April is actually a sign of getting colder. Even after so many years, I'm still not used to it."

Woo woo woo...

So as soon as Sogen finished speaking, the alarm bells in the city suddenly roared.

"You have to get used to it, go back to the Council Hall to find Nice."

Due to the increase in the number of residents in the town and the increase in the actual control range, the Council Hall was officially upgraded to the Council Hall.

Although the place is still the same, with more working members, the Council Hall, which has now been converted into a three-story building, is on high alert.

"You are back? Everyone sit down first, project."

Accompanied by the words of the city lord Minnie, a real-time monitoring screen displayed on the big round table made all the members of the Council Hall quite nervous.

Especially when a large number of giant black ants were marching towards the city of Marle, endlessly killing from outside the city to the direction of Marle City.

"There are such big carnivorous ants in the world. The New World is indeed a good place that can give us surprises and gains."

"Leya, now is not the time to be happy. Look at the ants on the screen, they are as scary as the waves."

Bang!

Listening to the bombardment outside, Beth was lecturing Leya. However, thanks to the three 55mm truck guns in the city that have been used as trump cards recently, every time a shell went down, the flying ant debris made the members in the council hall understand the cruel reality why magic power cannot conquer the world.

You must know that the sound of the cannon firing is completely inaudible at a distance of 4 kilometers, and only the whistling sound produced by the shells passing through the air can be heard by the objects in the bombardment area.

But it was too late, the flying speed of the shells was much higher than the speed of sound. Most of the objects who could hear the whistling sound of the shells did not even have time to react, and were instantly turned into meat paste by the shock wave and shrapnel produced by the shell explosion.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the Kingdom of Negan has never easily taught any spells that require chanting a long round of spells. After all, many wizards in the human kingdom died directly under the power of artillery shells or mines before they could even finish chanting spells.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then they watched other types of artillery fire explode in the ant waves, and they were glad that their troops did not need to use cold weapons to resist on the front line.

If cold weapons were used, facing such a wave of ants, the crossbow might be the best long-range strike weapon. However, compared to the 55 truck gun that has been used recently, which can easily hit an effective range of 2 kilometers, the large crossbow can hit 2 meters, which is very good.

[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app! It's really fucking useful. I use it to read and listen to books to kill time while driving or before going to bed. You can download it here. ]

As for Sogen himself, he was happy that the artillery technology of Marle City was still first-class. Compared with shooting, artillery is the most important factor in dominating the battlefield.

However, as the ant wave approached, the frequency of artillery fire in the city became more and more frequent. Especially as the main force of artillery battles, I have been using [to be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available.] 5 cannons can also blow away countless ants.

And what makes Sogen quite admire is that the artillerymen did not fire normal grenades, but incendiary bombs that can create a large sea of ​​fire.

Although the members of the Council Hall were not on the front line, they were purely using the crystal ball in the middle of the round table to project the real-time images from afar for observation; but such a picture purely created by modern weapons and equipment really made all members of the Council Hall understand a fact-the rise of the Eastern human kingdom is not without reason.

Therefore, Ness, who was in charge of the defense situation on the other side of the city wall, felt helpless that he could not stay in the office. After all, as the person who was responsible for the safety of the town, it was impossible for him to say that he was not panicked at all when he saw the ant army finally emerging from the horizon. However, he could not show any panic expression or even performance, and he could only command the troops in his hands to fight well.

Especially at this time, his machine guns did not follow the normal burst fire at all, but all pulled the trigger to fire automatically.

"Sure enough, the machine gun with the function of fast switching barrels is more useful than the fixed barrel."

Since the human kingdom in the east successfully repelled the invasion of the demons at the cost of a tragic victory, the discussion about whether the machine gun should retain the function of fast switching barrels came from the east. Negan. In this regard, Ness, who completely disagreed with the fixed barrel, was somewhat fortunate for the Sett general machine gun of his kingdom.

Although he had heard many militiamen complain that the machine guns in their hands were a bit heavy.

As for why there was such a discussion... It's very simple, it was all caused by the shadow of the demons. Many of the biochemical monster troops of the demon clan are good at long-range attacks, so the army of the Eastern human kingdom has naturally felt the taste of being suppressed. Therefore, in actual combat, if a machine gunner continuously fires more than 6 bullets in a bunker, it is very easy to be attacked by the demon clan's covering fire.

As a result, after the war, statistics and summary, the machine gunners of the Eastern Human Kingdom made an unwritten rule to leave their positions and move immediately after firing 5 bullets. And for the convenience of calculation, the belts or drums used by the machine guns of the Eastern Human Kingdom are limited to 5 bullets.

In this way, there is absolutely no need for the machine gunners to quickly switch the barrels during the transfer after firing 5 bullets.

During the transfer process of the machine gunner carrying the machine gun, the barrel can be cooled naturally under the external air cooling conditions during this period.

But he looked at another powerful weapon maintained by the stationed soldiers, a fully automatic anti-aircraft beam launcher used to replace the 37mm caliber machine gun.

The overheating problem is no matter how serious it is than the general machine gun or even the machine gun driven by gunpowder power, and there will even be a longer cooling time. To dissipate heat or utilize this heat energy is a technical problem that the experts of the arsenal have always hoped to solve completely.

However, as the black ants decomposed into black shells and some orange viscous liquids under the power of guns and cannons, Nice was still more confident in the performance of his subordinates and the sufficient firepower in the city. At the same time, he was also happy to pull out the command knife on his waist and command his subordinates how to fight.

In short, when the last black ant was shot through the head and fell on the corpse of its compatriot, the area 3 meters outside the city wall was all black and orange, polluting the original green grass...
