Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

woo~~~

The train whistled as it entered the station, and Rhett leaned against the window and looked outside. The air quality in Vic City has now changed significantly compared to before.

He walked out of the train without taking anyone else with him except for the accompanying guards. This train also had private compartments.

Naturally, it was Scott and Conrad who came to pick up Red.

Rhett said: "Lead the way."

They did not take the civilian exit, but turned to an inconspicuous passage. After passing through, they saw a large piece of flat land with a black car parked on it.

This is a car powered by an internal combustion engine. Its appearance is just like that of the Republic of China. The car is not very big and can seat four people at most.

The driver was a soldier of the Nirvana Army. He was selected not long ago and was asked to test a new type of transportation.

Red was in the passenger seat, and Scott and Conrad were in the back seat.

Seeing all the big shots, the soldier was obviously a little nervous, even though he had driven this road countless times. This road led to a secret military base, where Red's purpose today was to experiment with new weapons. .

Seeing the soldier, Red was a little nervous and asked, "What's your name?"

"Your Highness, my name is Rory"

"Don't be so nervous. Being chosen means that you are trustworthy. I see that your breathing is a little short. Please relax."

Scott from the back row explained:

"Your Highness, Rory is a combat hero. He originally served in the Second Division of the First Army. Later, his left chest was injured during the battle with the Stephen Empire, leaving sequelae."

"So that's it?" Rhett looked at the soldier: "Has your family received any subsidies?"

"Received. Thanks to the policies of the city hall, my family is living a good life now, and I am also grateful to the army for allowing me to stay here. I really don't know what to do after I go back. Now I can't breathe when I do strenuous work. I can't even go to the battlefield.

But the army didn't abandon me. They asked me to join here. I also know where this place is. I swear I will never reveal any secrets. I am very satisfied to be your highness's driver today."

Rhett said: "We also want to thank you. When the experimental unit was first established, there was a real shortage of people. We didn't know who was worthy of trust. Only with a fighting hero like you can we feel relieved."

"Your Highness looks up to me so much. I am just an ordinary soldier and I didn't play much role in that battle."

"No, it is precisely because of countless people like you that the Republic of Sunshine has been able to develop to this day. Everyone who puts life and death aside to protect this place is a hero..."

After getting out of the car, Scott took Red and walked into the military base. Red took a look and was very satisfied with the defense. There were three open posts in front of the door. He took a look according to the rules for the arrangement of hidden posts and found that Five.

The group of people came to a factory building. The soldiers on guard were responsible for opening the heavy door, and what they saw was a piece of green cloth.

Scott rushed forward excitedly and said:

"Your Highness, according to your request, we created this terrifying steel beast."

Then he pulled away the green cloth, and a guy with five pairs of road wheels appeared: "This is a new type of weapon, please name it, Your Highness!"

Rhett couldn't help but stepped forward and touched it and said: "A powerful weapon that combines defense and firepower. This is the undisputed king of land warfare. From now on, this weapon will be called a tank!"

Scott and Conrad repeated, "Tank?"

Because it was pronounced in Chinese, it was a bit convoluted for them to pronounce it, and they had no idea what it meant.

"That's right, it's called a tank. It may sound a bit convoluted to you, but you'll get used to it in the future. This year is the 8th year since the founding of the Sunri Republic, so this tank is called a Type medium tank."

Scott groaned: "Is this a medium-sized tank? With all due respect, Your Highness, the engine used in this tank is already at the limit of what we can build now. No matter how heavy the tank is, it will not be able to meet your speed requirements. "

Conrad also said: "Your Highness, the oil separation and extraction process is very complicated. Although we are still optimizing the process, that means that the factory must be rebuilt."

"What weight and top speed can this tank now achieve?"

Scott replied: "It weighs about 33 tons and can reach a maximum speed of 43 kilometers per hour."

"Then this is a proper medium tank. The muzzle doesn't look too big. How many millimeters is it?"

"Originally, we were going to install an 88mm cannon on it. After all, this is the caliber used by the Type II, but later we found that the larger the caliber, the heavier the ammunition would be, which would add weight to the car body, so we changed it to an 80mm gun. caliber"

Rhett complained in his heart: Too small!

Scott continued:

"It has three secondary weapons, one is the coaxial machine gun of the main gun, there is also an observer machine gun in the front, and a machine gun position on the roof. These machine guns are all 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and use a brand new heat dissipation frame. , no need for that big bucket.”

"Yeah, not bad." Rhett nodded with satisfaction: "It's time to phase out the B-1 machine gun. Let's name this machine gun the B-2 type and assemble it into the army."

"I'm already planning a production line."

Conrad also said at this time: "Your Highness, petroleum is just like what you said. We have separated many substances, among which gasoline can be used as energy for small cars that are not so heavy, and asphalt can be used to pave roads."

"In this way, our city will change its appearance again."

car? paving? Scott suddenly thought: "Your Highness, did you just feel that the caliber of the tank's main gun was too small and not powerful enough?"

"That's what I meant"

"I have to say that the internal combustion engine is a good thing. The steam engine can be completely eliminated. But at this stage, our internal combustion engine cannot drive heavier tanks, but we can start from other aspects, such as artillery."

Rhett thought he could listen: "Oh?"

"The C-1 artillery has been used for too long, and many structures can be further optimized. Why don't we increase the caliber and build a brand new cannon? Now that we have cars, we no longer need to use horses, but oil The material inside can build a smoother road surface, so speed and firepower are guaranteed."

I have to say that Scott has a strong ability to think independently. Even if he didn't say it, Red would bring it up himself, but I didn't expect Scott to think of this.

"Very good! In this way, we can use the Type 8 tanks as a mobile force, while the frontal battlefield still relies on artillery. So how much are you going to increase the caliber?"

"I think using the 155mm caliber is best"

The person who answered was Conrad.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Scott has come to our chemistry department to do many experiments, and this is all based on data."

Reid said: "It seems that you have had the idea of ​​​​increasing the caliber for a long time."

Scott smiled and said: "Hahaha, this is all because magic is so unreasonable. I can't think of any better way, I can only increase the caliber."

Conrad also said: "I will definitely develop a more powerful explosive!"

It's over, these two people have started to go astray...
