Chapter 16 Steam Spiders and Mechanical Soldiers
Water, sunlight, and a little active metal.
Blue crystal ore can grow.
Gradually drain the active metals in the vein, then grow under the action of water and sunlight, or self-replicate?
What is certain is that this crystal structure does not show biological morphology. Under high-intensity light, sufficient water and sufficient minerals, the growth rate can reach 300% of the normal rate, and after simple industrial processing, it can release pure hydrogen.
This world can develop such an amazing steam mechanical device thanks to this.
Only three players have ever taken the blue crystal ore mineral resources as the highest reward of the copy, and they all became the leaders in the end.
An efficient energy source, pollution-free, simple to mine, and can automatically extract active metals. Industrial waste that should have been scrapped no longer needs to go through a complicated screening process. Just pour it in and fish it out after a while.
Because they can produce and store hydrogen, with the help of this strong reducing agent, the smelting ability of this world has developed quite well. With a little bit of magic, they can create structures with quite amazing strength.
As for the unmanned mechanical spider, it is the so-called core engraving technology, which is a branch of magic and runes, a heavy evolution on a certain route, and fully automatic machines are still an insurmountable obstacle on Earth.
If there is a perfect energy source, it should be like this.
It's just a little bit powerful.
The shot just now almost broke his shoulder.
According to the tactical manual, after firing, it takes a while to let the inside of the gun barrel cool down and dissipate heat. The blue crystal ore powder mixed with the oxidant will produce a large amount of hydrogen at the moment of impact. The hydrogen produced by the rapid reaction will then burn with the oxidant to produce ultra-high temperature.
This medicine bag exploded directly in the gun barrel, causing great damage to the rifling.
So these musketeers were holding muskets without rifling. The range of this weapon of 200 meters was completely due to the power of explosives.
The main function was to send bricks flying with force.
In the game, when a soldier was remotely commanded to go to the front line and shoot at the enemy, the player, as an observer, would even feel a little annoyed when he saw two soldiers grinding against each other for a minute without killing each other, and he would want to pick up the gun and shoot for him.
Ji Lin stood on the right side of the array line he commanded, and fired at the oncoming infantry line with the infantry. The distance was estimated to be more than 300 meters, but he still commanded and began to prepare for the first round of shooting.
While entering the firing formation, you can pretend to be working, and you don’t have to follow other musketeers to advance to the enemy’s firepower line.
The commander above noticed this musketeer who was almost the fastest to prepare the team, nodded, and was proud of the kingdom's military training for being able to train such excellent soldiers.
If Ji Lin stood here, he would definitely scold him for ten minutes. Facing this commander, your troops finished a round of artillery fire and there were a lot of dead bodies still breathing in an instant. If it weren't for the supervision team, they would have started to flee.
Advance, there is no such thing as advancement.
Leave this deadly matter to other friendly forces.
The bullet storm started from the infantry array line, accompanied by bursts of white smoke. The infantry line in the distance was still dark. I don't know how much results can be achieved.
He was not equipped with a telescope, which was a good thing for senior officers.
"Reload!"
Your enemy is the same kind as you who has lived in the world for eighteen years. Everyone has similar weapons and similar wisdom. Eighteen years of life may be consumed in the moment of firing on the battlefield. There is no king of soldiers, no super soldiers.
Even if the physical fitness is several times higher than that of ordinary people, they will be taken away by volleys on such a battlefield.
The battle of line infantry is quite cruel.
Either fire or move forward. There is no choice of retreat in front of you. Soldiers surround you from all sides. Once the line collapses, you will be greeted by the enemy's charge.
He chose to fire.
Ji Lin did not dare to relax at all. If he went so early, he would not have chosen this task book copy in vain.
The system will not issue him a task.
According to the words of the "Civilization Lasts Forever" system, there is only a final assessment in the copy, and the final conclusion will be made based on his performance in the entire copy.
As the enemy gradually approached, he saw the tall shadows in the infantry line. Some of them were six meters tall, with slender limbs driven by mass gears. They were advancing along with the long infantry line. Their target should be the steam spiders on their side.
After thinking about the scene of being swept by a robot, the steam spiders were still a little worse.
Until Ji Lin and them were close enough to see the arc flashing on the right arm of the mechanical soldier.
Not all steam spiders left the team to hunt the heavy mortars that attacked them. There were two teams of steam spiders waiting for an opportunity on both sides of the team. As the enemy continued to approach, they arrived at the infantry line.
Since the steam spiders left the team, they have not been hit by new artillery fire, which is undoubtedly good news for them.
A special gunshot sounded, which sounded like a sharp whistle, and the steam spiders began to overload the boiler and charge.
Steam Spiders are not 19th century light cavalry. Imagine a mobile boiler room weighing 2 meters and running at 35 kilometers per hour charging towards you.
The musketeers' shooting was much more effective than he thought. Eight steam spiders were shot down and exploded halfway.
As long as you can't stop its charge, once it enters your line, it will start killing.
The attack effect of the steam mechanical spider was similar to what he thought. A steam spider as small as a car was walking on six legs, the steam engine was roaring, and the boiler that had entered the overloaded state made the steam spider's movement speed even higher. That flexibility was even difficult for humans in the 21st century to do.
The pale steam rushed out of the high-pressure boiler in an arc, like the scythe of the god of death sweeping across. A team of musketeers, less than one-third of the personnel, wailed and fell down directly under the super-high temperature steam, and then the fangs and claws of the steam spider were held up by the mechanical soldiers. Ji Lin then found that the arms of those mechanical soldiers were flashing with blue arcs.
The high-voltage arc instantly paralyzed the entire steam spider, and it fell to the ground and died, while the high-speed mechanical soldier walked towards it.
At the cost of twenty-four steam spiders, some of their infantry recovered from the bombardment and began to reorganize into a normal line formation. Whether it was worth it, Ji Lin felt that it was not worth it.
If he was in command, he would wait for the opponent to get closer, and the steam spiders that were pulled away would replace the cavalry to attack and destroy the formation.
Even if a few more of their own musketeers died, it didn't matter. The killing effect shown by the steam spiders could easily make up for this loss ratio.
A qualified commander should achieve tactical goals while ensuring his own low loss ratio as much as possible. Preserving enough manpower will make the army stronger and stronger, let veterans lead new recruits, maintain a healthy structure, no mobile cavalry, no line-filling infantry, no firepower artillery.
Most of the time, having no air defense is better than having no air defense at all. After all, there is a huge difference between having no field air defense and having bad field air defense.
The newly trained troops are sent to die, and the newly trained troops are sent to die. This mode is equivalent to slow death.
The current one-time charge seems powerful, but in fact, it makes the opponent not need to be afraid of the steam spider charge here. The importance of keeping a team of mobile cavalry at any time to make the opponent afraid to use it is beyond doubt.
When playing war games in the past, Ji Lin liked to keep a team of units with similar functions to mobile cavalry around.
Until the mechanical soldiers were exposed to Ji Lin's field of vision at a close enough distance, he obtained the specific information of this mechanical soldier.
[Name]: Steam Machine
[Number]: 12
[Melee Defense]: 25
[Movement Speed]: 10km/h
[Armor Strength]: 60
[Weapon Range]: 20
[Weapon Power]: 140
[Features]:
Arc: This unit uses arc to kill the target, causing more damage to enemies with lower armor, and at the same time, it has a chance to directly destroy the target's internal components. The lower the armor, the stronger the penetration ability.
Crossing: This unit can walk in the center of small units (units with a body smaller than or equal to that of a horse) without being penalized by speed.
Never Defeat: This unit will not be affected by morale/organization gains and losses.
Encouragement: The presence of this unit will increase the organization of units within the radius (morale +4).
Precision Transmission: The shooting accuracy of this unit is improved, but the damage tolerance is reduced.
[Introduction]: Zi-ha-, be careful, arcs hurt people!
