Utopia

Accompanied by the explanation of the four surviving human attackers, a new mountain map was updated again.

For this, Sogen, who did not need to take the initiative to attack, naturally conducted mapping and analysis on one of the spoils - the 8mm caliber mortar and its accompanying shells.

"Well... humans use this caliber as the main mortar to fight mountain battles and street battles... not bad."

Therefore, in the next three months, Sogen, who was responsible for repairing weapons and equipment for his companions during the day and designing mortars alone at night, had no intention of stopping.

And...

"Is this the design you drew and the model you made with various scrap metals?"

"No. This is the actual sample of the first 8mm caliber mortar provided by the Solo Arsenal."

"Can it really fire?"

"Yes, Teacher Mona. And according to the opinions of the Arsenal, this gun can fire the 8mm caliber mortar shells of the Eastern Human Kingdom."

Listening to Sogen's story, the teachers and students at the outpost were all confused. Therefore, the useless Sogen started loading the shells directly, just like he did in the arsenal before, loading from the muzzle, driving the shells to fly out into the wilderness in the distance along the guidance of the barrel.

"Well... Is this for the outpost?"

"Yes."

No matter how strong Sogen is now, he can't carry a mortar with a total weight of 59.56 kg, a barrel length of 5 mm, an elevation angle of positive 9 to positive 4 degrees, a left and right firing range of 8.3 degrees, and a theoretical firing rate of 8 rounds per minute.

What's more, each shell fired by this gun weighs 3.6 kg to ensure a maximum range of 453 meters. In order to ensure that the gun can have normal sustained combat effectiveness, a gun must be served by at least five gunners.

The reason is... heavy. The weight problem is not easy to solve. Especially in terms of shells, 3.6 kg shells are only light shells manufactured by the Solo Arsenal. The captured 8 mm caliber mortar shells have a maximum range of only 5 meters, but the weight of the shells is 6.86 kg.

In other words, Sogen himself realized that heavier shells are what mortars need.

Because mortars do not require precise strikes like barreled artillery with recoil devices, and it is impossible to achieve relatively accurate and fatal strikes; therefore, mortars can only adopt a relatively normal development idea.

Area killing.

That is, increasing the amount of charge to cause greater lethality, resulting in a larger area of ​​killing. Even on the basis of a large amount of charge, it can cause damage to armored targets.

Of course, Sogen himself has already experimented with it. Mortars are not suitable for offensive operations, so there are 84mm rapid-fire field guns, which are used to deal with hard armored targets and are equipped on land and sea vehicles.

"In this way, aren't we really moving closer to the humans in the East..."

"Teacher Mona, since we began to accept the writing of Eastern humans, how could we not move closer to the direction of Eastern humans? But I firmly believe that since humans have the ability to defeat the army of the Eri United Kingdom, it means that we, the Kalai people, need to learn and find out from the enemy why we lost."

As he was talking, his companions who were out on the activity brought over a prisoner with his hands tied behind his back and his eyes covered with black cloth.

"Oh? Prisoners? What else did you get?"

When Teacher Mona saw that there were prisoners and a large bag of things delivered to the open space of the outpost, she hurried over to take a good look.

However, what puzzled Sogen who followed him was that there was a black mark of a round-bottomed inverted five-pointed star on the neck of the prisoner. Moreover, among the captives' belongings, there was nothing except a long sword with the hilt tied with a hemp rope.

"This is..."

"Cultists, human cultists. This sword contains the energy of the demons, and we tied the hilt with a rope just in case."

Upon hearing what other companions said, Sogen saw the members of his team holding magic wands surrounded the more than one-meter-long sword, and then formed a white circular magic circle on the ground of the long sword. The six members responsible for sealing the long sword let the magic wands in their hands release white rays, so that a circle of white sealing shields would be generated around the long sword.

The next question was how to deal with this human captive.

However, something that surprised Sogen happened. The mark on the captive's neck suddenly emitted a red light. The teachers and students immediately retreated and witnessed the red mist that began to form on the captive's body.

"Destroy him!"

So there was no need for Sogen to take action. The teachers and students took out their guns and cast spells. The captive instantly enjoyed what a cruel death was.

"No more prisoners..."

Sogen said halfway, he looked at his companions who looked calm, everyone's reaction was just as ordinary as he thought. So he lowered his head and continued to tinker with his 8, which had been forced recently.

No way.

This is the Kingdom of Negan, a free and independent kingdom that belongs only to the Kalai people.

Intelligent life forms that are not members of the Kalai people cannot be guaranteed too many rights and interests here. You have to know that during the border war, humans did not keep any Kalai prisoners, and completely wiped them out on the spot, killing, burning, and looting them, which led to Her Majesty the Queen bringing a group of surviving widows and orphans to the Gem Island to develop it herself.

From this, it can be seen that this is not to say that the Kalai people have no mercy. If you want to blame, blame the ruthlessness of humans who taught them what they should do.

"In fact, can't you make a rear-loading launch mechanism, or even a mortar that uses a magazine to feed ammunition?"

"Beth, that weight is no joke. You have to know that compared to... Beth, I have an idea."

"Don't tell me."

Beth knew what strange ideas Sogen had that she couldn't understand at all, so she didn't need to listen to Sogen's wonderful ideas.

As a result, Sogen was depressed again. He was looking at his 8, which had been using mortars recently, while writing various things about mortars in his notebook.

"Isn't it bad for you to send him away like this?"

"Xin Mi, you can accompany him for one night..."

"No, I, that's not what I mean. It's just that we haven't..."

"That's good."

"Huh?"

"It's not time for him to rest now. There are too many things that require him and each of us to work hard."

Although it was a bit far-fetched, Beth felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Sogen continuing his research...
