While the Northern District made arrangements, the commotion at Gates 2 and 3 also required a response.
Gate 2 is the ice cap ecology east of Fatel.
The ice-crown demons lacked the ability to fly and spent a long time wandering around the local area. The few that crossed the floating island were creatures with only the ability to glide.
This kind of ecology is relatively easy to understand. The demon world side of Gate 2 is an ultra-low temperature environment. The surface area of creatures with the ability to fly is too large. In this environment, more energy is needed to maintain life. The more chaotic it is, the easier it is to be called other demons. The ability to fly will naturally tend to degrade under the influence of evolution.
If you have to maintain the ability to fly in a low-temperature environment, the only possibility is to achieve self-supply without eating like the Crystal Giant, whether it is magic power or photosynthesis.
However, beings with similar qualities, even animals, will become very homely. After all, there is no need to forage, so why come to the exile for excitement? Just like the Crystal Giant, the entire floating island at Gate 3 adds up to There are only more than a hundred of them, and this is because the total territory of the dominant species is not enough.
The ecological niche of the gliding species is not high, and it belongs to the middle layer. It is used as food by the ice cap system, and it can also prey on some worse ones.
The method of gliding makes their route across the island relatively fixed, which is to find a hilltop and a narrow fan-shaped surface on the opposite side as a landing area. This mode makes it difficult for them to escape from surrounding hunters, especially these hunters who have a certain popularity of magic firearms.
The current commotion has nothing to do with the Sliding Species, it's still a problem between Teguama and Icecrown Ice Devils.
Previous intelligence showed that after the Icecrown Ice Demons entered the breeding period, unexpected clusters of special horses appeared, raising concerns that the Icecrown Ice Demons would be difficult to regain their ecological niche.
The latest news is that heretics have appeared in Mali.
It is unclear whether it is some kind of change brought about by group living or other factors. Some locals have witnessed mutations in individual individuals in the Teguima group.
A survey of several local cities found that at least four horse groups had variants, and their characteristics were basically consistent.
It is taller and darker in color, almost non-reflective black. It has the behavior of gnawing on the same kind. It seems that the teeth have become sharper, and there seem to be scales attached to the shoulders and neck. Appearance and behavior are not the main point. These mutant horses are prone to walking on fire.
Horse type, walking on fire, this feature is very similar to the legendary nightmare.
After a period of time, aerial reconnaissance found that a group of them had changed their living habits and were on a hunger strike!
The Tegua horses themselves gnaw grass roots, and of course they also eat grass and shrub leaves. After forming a group, they are simply an army of lawn mowers. However, the group that was targeted found a river valley and stopped moving.
Pay a local adventurer to confirm that they are staying in place and not grazing.
In the following time, through aerial reconnaissance and ground confirmation by local adventurers, the number of mutant individuals in this group was increasing! The other three horse herds where the mutant was discovered also went on hunger strike.
The Ice Crown Ice Devils have just entered the breeding period, not on a hunger strike. They are still interested in the fixed group of horses.
But all the ice demons that came to the door were dead!
The Ice Crown Ice Demon is a giant beast similar to a carnivorous dinosaur, but the special horse is about the same size as a horse. Even aside from the size difference, the Ice Demon's special ability [Ice Coffin] has a longer effective distance.
The ice demon was killed without the horses moving. The situation was very strange. Unfortunately, due to the limited time for aerial reconnaissance and the influence of terrain and vegetation, local adventurers were not willing to take risks 24 hours a day. No one witnessed the fighting moment in any way.
There is no need to delve into the situation of horses and ice demons. While the ecological niche is reversed, the number of special horses has increased to an abnormal level. It is obvious that there is something pushing the special horses through the world gate.
The abnormal increase in their numbers made Wang Qi feel the need to intervene.
There was no need to make any big moves. After all, they were close to Fatel, and their army seemed to be on the floating island next door. It would be somewhat troublesome to cause a backlash.
The method is still to support weapons.
The weapons this time were different. More than a hundred Python III models were sold directly.
The Python III is the fifth field version of the 15mm military rifle. In terms of generations, the Caroline I and the Python are the first generation, and the two second generations are the second generation. The Python II has several modifications. Model 3 is the third generation.
During Wang Qi's trip, the technology of the laboratory version of the Cat Type (12mm) used by the Eight King Kongs was used on the Python Type III, which is a different application of the same technical route as the Ripper cannon.
It was meant for huge individuals like Sharp Blade. It was not big enough and would easily get bumped when carrying a gun, so I never considered selling this kind of thing.
Now, in order for the locals to better deal with the mutant Guima, they have to use something powerful.
The main considerations for the 12 mm caliber modular foreign trade gun at that time were technical confidentiality and convenient maintenance, but modularity had a big shortcoming, which was that the accuracy was not stable enough.
According to the current military standards, a qualified gun needs to ensure that the "ballistic deviation" after 500 shots is not higher than 2‰. For the Python, this deviation is mainly caused by bore wear, while the foreign trade version will be caused by disassembly and reassembly. , uncontrollable ballistic changes occur.
Its hit rate is relatively random due to structural and processing errors. Its qualification index is that a specific gun inspection team uses random modules to assemble a complete firearm and achieve a certain hit rate at a distance of 300 meters. The latest hit rate test value is 92%.
But this does not mean that one person can achieve such a high hit rate with it. It involves personal ability, positioning deviation caused by repeated assembly, etc.
Of course, there will also be "one-in-a-thousand" guns among them. Their parts are highly adaptable, and the gun will not be disassembled after assembly. After humans and guns adapt to each other, they can achieve quite high hits even from 500 meters away. Rate.
In the process of upgrading the Python, the focus is on the long-range hit rate, which is also related to its own value. The projectiles are heavier and more resistant to the influence of turbulence. The standard strike range of Type 2 armor reached 800 meters. In the Type C era, optical sights were available, and individual warriors could fire 100 rounds at an average of 6.8 rings on a 1,200-meter humanoid target.
High-precision optical sights cannot be completely machined, and some processes must be done manually. The yield rate has always been very low. Only the Python III will be equipped with the latest sights.
Naturally, the one sold this time will not be equipped with a new sight. It is equipped with the quadruple scope of the previous generation, mainly targeting targets between 300 and 900 meters.
High hit rate is a systematic project, and the processing accuracy of bullets also needs to be considered. Fortunately, the projectiles of magic firearms do not have a gunpowder part, so the processing threshold is not high. The projectiles that were previously sold to local people and processed by simple equipment can also be used within the quadruple scope. However, due to the lack of consistency in quality control, the ballistic stability will be slightly worse.
The ability of the mutated special dangerous horses is unknown. In order to ensure that they can be destroyed, 15mm magic-breaking bullets are also indispensable. The output of this thing is very low, and there is no 12mm version. The first batch only sold a thousand rounds. We will see the situation later.
Speaking of which, I originally planned to sell cat style this time.
The Cat is a 12mm series of guns equipped to the non-sharp blade corps. It has rifle, submachine gun and pistol versions. The rifle can deal with targets of five to six hundred meters.
Just considering the national interests, the Cat-type is "not big enough". If an enemy attacks, if a few individuals hold the Cat-type, it will be difficult to find it among the foreign trade firearms, and it is easy to be hacked. Compared with the normal human body shape, the python style is no different from the cannon. It is very intuitive and can avoid some hidden dangers. For those who receive these guns, they can also try to fight more powerful demons.
