There are a variety of weapons and equipment on the drawings drawn by Tang Zhen, and the most powerful weapon is naturally the artillery.
This kind of war weapon, which had been used on a large scale in wars in the original world and also existed in other planes, was naturally Tang Zhen's first choice.
Although it looks unattractive, its power is considerable, and it is definitely the most suitable weapon to defend Tianxu City.
With the capabilities possessed by the Alarm Bell Church, it is entirely possible to manufacture artillery, but due to limitations in manufacturing materials, mass production is likely to be impossible.
Just because each artillery requires a large amount of metal, but in this world of low productivity, metal is often the most precious strategic material.
Even if Tianxu City is in a special situation and has accumulated a large amount of metal ore through years of excavation, it still cannot support this kind of consumption.
As expected, the problem of manufacturing materials made everyone feel embarrassed.
If it cannot be solved, the cooperative plan will become a joke, and it will be impossible to resist the monster's attack.
"If we collect them with all our strength, we should be able to gather the materials needed for ten artillery pieces, but if they are used in war, the number of ten artillery pieces will not be of much use at all.
If the number of weapons is insufficient, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced. In that case, it is better to melt the metal and make arrows, which may be able to kill more enemies. "
After some discussion, the person in charge of the manufacturing base concluded in a serious tone that judging from his performance, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about this plan.
Although he was shocked by the power of artillery described by Tang Zhen, the person in charge was very hesitant because it would consume a lot of materials.
If you try your best but fail to achieve the desired results, it would be a disaster!
The other believers were silent. They would never express their opinions easily before seeing the power of the weapons on the drawings.
"Sir, what do you think of this? We can make weapons according to the drawings and send people to collect the required materials.
Although the amount of metal required is huge, large amounts of metal should be found in some ancient ruins.
At that time, all we need to do is transport the metal back and we can mass-produce weapons. What do you think of this? "
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen looked at the bone and asked what was going on?
"There are some ancient ruins near Tianxu City, some of which belong to mechanical civilization. They are good at making giant mechanical devices, even in the tombs.
According to the information we have, there is a mausoleum of mechanical civilization nearby, and it is connected to underground passages.
As for the reason for the connection, it is likely that ancient demonic insects entered the tomb by mistake, so a secret passage was left. "
Tang Zhen nodded and asked Na Gu: "Since you know the existence of the tomb, why didn't you collect metal materials before, but why did you wait until now?"
Na Gu shook his head helplessly, saying that there were many dangers in the tomb. The Alarm Bell Church had sent people to explore it several times, but every time there were heavy casualties.
Considering that the efforts were not proportional to the rewards, the Alarm Bell Church had no choice but to give up the exploration and at the same time blocked the passage to ensure that no one else would discover it.
"What caused your heavy casualties? Was it the mechanism in the mausoleum, or something like a monster?"
Tang Zhen was suddenly very interested in the mausoleum of mechanical civilization. If there were monsters there, it could be the best place to level up.
“There are mechanical puppets, they are the guards of the tomb, and there are all kinds of monsters, all of them are extremely cruel.
In addition, there are ghosts and evil spirits, which are the most terrifying things that can kill people silently. "
When Na Gu said this, there was a hint of fear on his face. Maybe he had participated in the exploration back then, but he narrowly escaped death.
After listening to Na Gu's introduction, Tang Zhen had already made up his mind that he must go to that tomb.
"If possible, please send someone to clean the passage. After the matter here is over, I will go to the mausoleum personally."
"Well, if you insist, I can send someone to clear the passage."
Na Gu did not dissuade him excessively. If Tang Zhen could complete the cleanup, it would be a good thing for the Alarm Bell Church.
At the same time, you can also observe Tang Zhen and understand his true strength. This is also one of the tasks arranged by Li Te.
"Okay, now I ask for your active cooperation to produce the sample as soon as possible.
This matter is related to the life and death of the entire world. We must ensure success, otherwise destruction awaits us! "
Na Gu seemed very excited. He kept waving his arms and emphasizing the importance of this matter.
The believers were also affected and chanted the oath loudly, making the atmosphere at the venue very serious.
After the meeting, Tang Zhen began to cooperate with those believers to build the weapons and equipment on the drawings.
Because of the presence of monks, many things have become much simpler, such as the production of gun barrels and the molding of certain parts, which can all be completed with the assistance of monks.
Tang Zhen was eager to let these natives see the power of the weapon, so he participated in the whole process. In less than half an hour, a rifle appeared in front of everyone.
This rifle should actually be called a mother-and-son gun. The bullets are made separately and have runes engraved on them. They are inserted into the barrel and locked manually.
After pulling the trigger, the rune array is activated, and the bullet's warhead is pushed out of the barrel and fired towards the target.
You can then remove the empty cartridge case, load a new bullet, and continue shooting again.
Cartridge casings cannot be thrown away because they can be reloaded. It does not require a complicated process and each soldier can complete it independently.
"Your Excellency Tang Zhen, is this the firearm you are talking about?"
A group of Alarm Bell Church believers surrounded Tang Zhen, their faces full of curiosity. They really couldn't figure out what the use of this black iron pipe was.
In fact, in their opinion, firearms are far less convenient than bows and arrows. For a qualified archer, a lot of arrows can be shot in a short period of time.
Comparing the two, guns with complex manufacturing processes and slow loading speeds do not actually have much advantage.
Tang Zhen naturally saw through the thoughts of the believers, but he didn't explain much. He just wanted to let them see the actual effect of the operation.
Soon someone prepared the targets, covered them with thick animal skins on the sacks, and placed them against the wall.
Seeing that the experiment was about to be conducted, a large group of believers gathered around. They also wanted to see how powerful the weapons Tang Zhen made were.
Just looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they were not optimistic about the power of the firearm, thinking that it was just a modified version of a weird crossbow.
Although it looks much lighter, its power should be about the same.
While they were discussing in low voices, Tang Zhen suddenly raised the rifle in his hand, and then completed the action of loading, locking, aiming and firing at a dizzying speed.
"boom!"
A muffled sound came out, startling the surrounding believers, and some even screamed.
The scene was so chaotic that some people even subconsciously took out their weapons and looked at Tang Zhen angrily.
They had never imagined that this pipe would make such a loud noise, almost like thunder.
Is such a loud noise just to scare and intimidate the enemy?
If so, it should be considered a great success, because they were indeed frightened.
Just as the audience was marveling at the loud sound of the gunfire, someone noticed that the target used for the experiment had a hole punched by the bullet.
"It can penetrate animal skin, which proves that it is quite powerful. It should be effective against monsters."
Na Gu nodded. He had been startled by the sound of gunfire before, but now that he saw the shooting effect, he felt that this kind of firearm had some merits.
But if that's the case, then this kind of firearms can only be said to be dispensable. After all, ordinary bows and arrows can also do this.
But when the inspector stepped forward and took off the animal skin, he stayed where he was.
Because he found that not only the animal skin was penetrated, but also the sack behind it, leaving deep bullet marks on the stone wall!
