When Jiang Tian came out of the underground again, he had temporarily given up his plan to destroy the half of the mummy as a major hazard. Because he suddenly realized that as more and more aliens and strange objects appeared in the world, this existence was more like a recovery schedule.
On the other hand, the almost pervasive epiphytic effect of the creeping tendrils may be a tool to deal with other alien species. Because this kind of whiskers that shrink and turn black in the air also has a strong sense of exclusivity, especially for the already formed alien beasts and ghosts.
After being activated by blood gas and infiltrating into the body, obvious malignant growth and distortion will occur, which will then lead to peeling and cracking of the flesh and blood in the corresponding parts, and even local explosions; resulting in serious injuries that are difficult to heal. However, the soaking liquid in the large tank can temporarily suppress its activity.
In this way, as long as you take out a small amount and put it in a sealed vial, you can throw it out at a critical moment and use it as a weapon against the enemy or in emergencies. On the other hand, it is aimed at those members of the direct team who have a thirst for flesh and blood after fighting for a long time in a mutated state.
Bai Bohuan is also researching and thinking about corresponding alternatives; for example, he made a suggestion to try to use that kind of flesh and blood seed to implant into some large livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, to create mutations caused by artificial intervention, or to capture some wild animals. of alien species to see if they can be raised.
for more portable sources of nutrients and energy. Jiang Tian approved his project after just a brief thought. At the same time, Geng Shu, who was the director of the Industrial and Camping Department, also sent a message specially, but it was some of the knowledge brought back by Jiang Tian that bore fruit.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian walked out of the main office; passed through the ruins of Chengfang District/Ghost Market, which had basically been renovated, and the sergeants who were conducting environmental simulation drills; and came to the other end of this underground space. It is also a device testing ground and construction area in a sense.
I saw an underground river with abundant water rolling down from a high place; it was diverted and deflected into fragmented streams of water between the cascading large and small runners and paddles; thus driving a series of machine shafts, and corresponding There were roars and smoke billowing in the workshop.
Occasionally, you can see some figures wearing glass masks, rubber protective clothing, headlamps and other series of products; groups of small and medium-sized people push carts and hold tools, shuttling back and forth. Or carefully inspecting and debugging the endlessly rotating machinery amid the smoke.
Only when they saw Jiang Tian did they all take off their masks and salute. However, when Jiang Tian saw Geng Shu again, he couldn't help but be shocked. Because he was alive and kicking not long ago, but now his beard and hair are disheveled, his eye sockets are blue, and his cheeks are sunken; it seems that he has been ravaged for several days;
"What's going on with you? How did you become such a virtuous person?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but exclaimed: It would be bad if this little fat man died of overwork. Where can I find such a professional technician leader who I am familiar with every day and have the same hobbies!
"It's just that I haven't slept well for several days." He yawned with bloodshot eyes, but his eyes were full of burning passion and persistence, "To tell you the truth, ever since we got those drawings, they have been engraved in my mind; As soon as I close my eyes, I can’t help but think about it, and I can’t sleep at all.”
"However, I finally figured out a way to do it." He continued, hammering his back, which was somewhat unable to straighten up: "However, in order to find suitable materials, I went through a lot of trouble and made more than a dozen kinds of fabrics. Formula, and now we can make some trial samples that can be delivered."
After a while, everyone arrived at a testing site against a towering stone wall; here, it was like a zigzag staircase, with many large and small platforms with wooden beams climbing up the steps; and on some platforms, Surprisingly, there is also a chain crane with a wheel hub and a turntable.
The next moment the whistle blew suddenly. I saw a figure wearing armor, suddenly jumping down from a high place, making a dull thumping sound, and with the earth and rocks splashing on the ground, vehicles, vehicles, and obstacles that were used as targets and obstacles within a few steps of the ground were splashed. If he resists the horse, he will be overturned and knocked away.
However, the next moment, the armor, which looked a bit bloated, started to fall apart and some parts and fragments were scattered one after another with the rising and turning movements of the body. After walking a few more steps, the external accessories on his body were completely scattered on the floor.
Only then did Jiang Tian clearly see that this armor was equipped with mechanical accessories such as springs and gears on the key points of the body, as well as the elbows, leg bends and other joints; it was also covered with wear-resistant, stab-proof, The cushioned leather and metal cover makes it look a bit bulky.
As the collar on the edge of the helmet was rolled up, the grinning face of Guo Da, one of the four disciples, was revealed. But he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood and cursed on the ground: "What the hell, if you jump down wearing this outfit, your tooth sockets will be shaken loose, and your forehead will still be buzzing?"
"I've seen you, sir!" Then he saw Jiang Tian and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry that my subordinates are not wearing armor yet, so it's inconvenient for me to salute."
"There's no need for this. Just go on and don't worry about me." Jiang Tian smiled at him and said:
"Yes!" He nodded sharply, and then reached out to grab a chain with a hook, and climbed up again with a faint clanking sound of rotation on a platform somewhere above; at the same time, someone shouted : "One hundred and sixty-third, rise two hundred feet and descend with a rope."
After a while, as the small flag used for instructions on the high platform above fell, suddenly there was the sound of pedaling on the mountain wall, as well as the teeth-breaking sound of metal friction. But Wang Guoda, who was dragging a long and straight leather rope behind him, rushed down the steep mountain wall like the wind.
Then, at the moment when he was about to hit the ground, Wang Guoda suddenly let go of the lock set in his hand, kicked his feet like a cannonball and jumped into the air; a long arc was drawn in the air; his momentum continued unabated. He crashed into a shed with a pile of debris dozens of steps away.
However, when he stumbled out again, covered with dust and debris, he couldn't wait to shout loudly: "It's refreshing, it's really refreshing, this is how it should feel; as long as you adjust it a little or two, it will be much better." After coming here a few times, I should be able to use it skillfully."
"It's not enough. It's not enough at all. More debugging and reassembly are needed." Geng Shu, who had heavy bags under his eyes, shook his head and said, "After all, this is just a semi-finished product. Just because you can get used to it doesn't mean that others can bear it. I What we need is equipment that everyone can equip..."
Despite this, Geng Shu continued to demonstrate a series of supporting equipment that he had improved and built during this period. For example, a small cannon that is similar to a short-barreled gun and can be fired by hand. It also adopts two styles: nested internal and external boring, and wheel-shaped rotary boring.
The other type can be put on the arm of an ordinary soldier. After being wound up through a lever and a ratchet, it can continue to rotate and launch by relying on the continued force of the machine spring. It can also serve as a machine-operated repeating crossbow supported by a lanyard; it can be called a cold weapon of this era. The final product of weapon tactics developed to the extreme.
It also includes special ammunition: smoke bombs/poisonous smoke balls from heterogeneous renewable extracts, thrown with one hand or loaded into a hand cannon; Eucommia gum and resin components that are easy to explode and stain are added to the fire oil. , a cauterizing bomb that can cover several targets;
Specially formulated gunpowder can emit strong light flares, single-tube spontaneous flares (smoke arrows/fireworks); there are even modified mouthparts that can be pointed in a specific direction by hammering or pinching them. , a detonator that makes an uncomfortable loud noise.
Obviously, this kind of weapon originating from another time and space and inherited by blood knights can only be regarded as tailor-made and specialized equipment. Therefore, without certain physical fitness and recovery ability, it is impossible to use it freely. Therefore, it still lacks diffusion and popularity in terms of military use.
Then Jiang Tian came to Geng Shu's exclusive workshop. In addition to firearms of different sizes and shapes on specially built shelves, there is even a finely crafted golden cannon. It is exactly the same as the Wanjun bronze cannon named "Huaiyuan" on the gate tower of Jingshi Jiangwu University that tells the time every day.
Afterwards, Geng Shui, who kept yawning as if he was about to fall down in the next moment, mustered up his energy and went to the messy room, under a pile of cases filled with drawings, tools and accessories, and rummaged through the A wooden flat box comes; opening the flat box reveals a number of tiny parts.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Tian assembled these parts together with ease, and immediately formed a small and exquisite double-haired handgun; then he found a small pile of customized equipment in the silk bag on the other side. The paper-cased lead-tipped bullets of Zi Yao are loaded into the handgun with the breech open.
As he turned on the elastic flint mechanism spring and clicked it, a puff of green smoke and sparks shot out with a bang and a clang, hitting a gear ten steps away, causing it to explode and fly away. Jiang Tian couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that except for the gunpowder having slightly more impurities, the other performance was good.
"Do you think this is okay?" Geng Shu said feebly: "There is nothing surprising about the other parts of this thing. It's just that the tube and the machine spring are a little troublesome. Just the high-quality round steel bars are useless. There are several; such a small machine spring has to be made more than a dozen times before it takes shape."
However, after Jiang Tian assigned the Industrial and Battalion Department to produce experimental firearms in small batches as a follow-up task for directly affiliated team equipment. I had no clue about the mission scene "Dawn of Iron and Fire/A Thousand Miles Begin with a Step" for a long time, and a prompt suddenly popped up, changing the progress to (1.2%).
Jiang Tian understood something in an instant; this delayed response to the task seemed to be linked to a series of subsequent impacts and changes that the relevant knowledge and concepts he spread in this world could bring about.
