Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 34 Weapon Upgrade and Manpower Training

Li Jianghao made an aiming gesture and said:
"If we make a rifle, shoot from a long distance, and ensure that every bullet hits the living corpse, which is the vital point of those monsters, then we only need to shoot a few hundred times to deal with the monsters in Winter House."

When Keith heard this, his eyes flickered, and he said: "If there is an old-fashioned Martini Henry rifle (a bolt-action rifle used by the Imperial Army in 1867), plus enough ammunition, we can easily solve the problem. That kind of monster. But, Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid we have nowhere to find gunpowder for bullets."

Li Jianghao rubbed his chin with his hand and said: "Ammunition? This is indeed a problem, but I already have a solution. As for the rifle, the design frequency of the bolt-action rifle is too slow. I asked the engineer about a method that can Specific improvements to the design of the bullet automatically entering the chamber after shooting are already in progress."

Speaking of this, not only Case, but other workers also stared at Li Jianghao closely, showing longing expressions.

Which man would refuse the temptation of firearms?Especially when you can use firearms to fight against monsters, this romance can be traced back to the legend of ancient knights slashing dragons.

Besides, fighting monsters with cold weapons will inevitably lead to injuries. Wouldn't it be good to directly let these monsters see the controversy with hot weapons?Soldiers who handle weapons can also keep themselves safe, which will undoubtedly increase their hopes.

Li Jianghao foresaw how attractive holding hot weapons would be to these people, so among the three rewards he received after Shang watched him, he chose the barracks design of Command and Conquer the World without even thinking about it.

Robots can improve efficiency by relying on the number of stacks in the later stage. Although an SCV that stops working after three months of use can also go to battle to kill the enemy, there are too many technologies beyond this world, and many things are difficult to explain.He can't even guarantee that the engineers here will be able to start the SCV work smoothly.

Generally speaking, Li Jianghao is not worried about resource issues, and the resources are basically overflowing after the game is played.The extra props for collecting resources will not work.

Looking at it this way, the rewards provided by the system all have pitfalls. In contrast, the barracks that only allow more soldiers to consume food supplies are much more affordable and the most unpretentious.

In particular, it also comes with the design drawings of the top individual weapons in the current civilization. With the current level of technology in the world of the Frost Age, the bolt-action rifle can be upgraded to a semi-automatic or even a fully automatic rifle.

The emergence of automatic rifles basically means that the level of light firepower cannot continue to rise for a long time.Even in the 21st century, in Lee's own native world, automatic rifles remain in widespread service.

As for the issue of gunpowder, Li Jianghao is really not worried. The barracks design attached to the system even includes the most suitable ammunition for shooting, and there are gunpowder substitutes for various situations.

Now that the wood resources are overflowing, the cut bark is smashed, the fibers in it are nitrated, and ground into granules, which can be used as simple bullet propellants.Although it is not as good as industrially prepared nitrocellulose, it can be used anyway, and it is much more powerful than the black powder made from monosulfur, dinitrate and three charcoals.

How to do the chemical reaction is left to the engineers to do it according to the design drawing.However, Li Jianghao vaguely remembers that nitrate soil can be found in the soil layer deposited near the toilet, and perhaps in the past few days, engineers can still see the scene of digging excrement.

"By the way, didn't any of you sign up for the Guard Station?"

Li Jianghao hoped that such aggressive workers would enter the guard station, and it would be easier for them to maintain hope.

Case suddenly said: "I have signed up, but I asked a few friends, they seem to be hiding something. After yesterday's rally, several people in the same tent as me did not come back soon, as if somewhere What has been exchanged. Mayor, I heard that someone wants to go back to London. This idea is too dangerous. You must pay attention."

Li Jianghao said easily: "Don't worry, these changes have long been in my plan. I have approved your request, Case, and you will be the captain of all the guards. However, you must always remember what you learned at the guard station Knowledge."

Keyes immediately pledged his loyalty to New London and to stop those who wanted to secession.

As for the new knowledge that Li Jianghao said he could learn, he didn't pay much attention to it.

The barracks disguised as a guard station can train five soldiers every day, but Li Jianghao didn't plan to create a large number of soldiers.Otherwise, everyone would have double rations, and his food might not be able to keep up.

To deal with the living corpses in Winter House, an army of 30 people is enough. An army of 30 people is also enough to deal with the security problems that will occur in the city in the future.

Li Jianghao, who planted a seed in the hearts of enterprising people, walked around and finally came to the children's shelter.

The children here have just finished their morning classes. They will take the rail car to the rail station in the afternoon, and then walk to the track laying site.

The first aid station cannot be too far away from the energy tower. These children who have learned first aid knowledge can treat small wounds first.

"Mr. Mayor, I had a dream."

Fanny walked to Li Jianghao with a bowl and sat down, talking excitedly.

Li Jianghao glanced at Fanny, a little cautiously.Although the system determined that Shang had already left, the old pervert who had lived for an unknown number of years was looking at him with the help of Fanny's body.

That guy is close to a god, if some god's exclusive influence is left in the little girl's body and explodes, no one here can bear it.That's 8000 years at a glance.

Thinking of this, Li Jianghao even had some bad taste.If Shang really regards himself as a god, then Fanny who is possessed by a true god is like a living saint!

Li Jianghao couldn't help sitting up straight, looked at Fanny squarely, and said:
"Please tell me what you dreamed, I believe it must be very important."

Seeing the mayor attaching so much importance to herself, Fanny smiled and said happily:
"I dreamed of a black bird burning with flames, like that story you told, Mayor. But the bird told me things I didn't understand, and I wrote them down."

Fanny suddenly looked at Li Jianghao seriously, and said word by word in broken Chinese:

"I'm a Xuanniao, not a Suzaku, and I'm not on fire!"

Seeing the mayor's expression on the verge of crying, Fanny was suddenly a little scared, maybe the strange language she just said frightened Mr. Mayor.

When Li Jianghao heard this sentence, his tongue was about to cramp, and he faltered.It seems that the story I made up at random made that Shang very unhappy. This is not a deliberate glance at him because he has a good impression of him.

This is to punish myself for making up stories and teaching children badly.

Now all the children in New London tried to make Xuanniao a phoenix, and Li Jianghao remembered that Xuanniao was like a swallow in his own world?
