Chapter 494

The scene in front of him changed, and Ren returned to the teleportation hall in Glamorgan.

The surrounding Ultramarines saluted in unison.

"boss!"

Glamorgan Castle is the center of all the teleportation formations in Rennes. The only astral crystal pillar is installed here, so the number of Ultramarines stationed in the hall is the largest. There is a whole team of twelve people, all from Sicarius' company.

In addition, there are two teams of spear-wing knights standing guard outside, and Rennes has also arranged a number of protective circles, which can be described as impenetrable.

Akalande, who was teleported back together, swept his eyes and found that the strength of this team of Ultramarines was even stronger, and the dangerous aura emanating from them made even himself, a legendary mid-level mechanic, feel a little trembling.

He finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Ren, how many Ultramarines do you have now?"

Because the Ultramarines always wear blue armor and helmets in front of outsiders, it is difficult to tell the difference between them just by their breath, let alone figure out the number of people.

Anyone who pays attention to Rennes has only one feeling, that is, there have been more and more Ultramarines in the past two years, and they don't know where they came from.

In fact, not only Akalande was curious, but many people in the empire also wanted to find out.

The Macragges are a barbarian tribe on the plateau. They have some reputation in history, and their personal strength is only relatively strong among the barbarians. Why did their strength skyrocket to such an exaggerated level after they joined Rennes?

Some forces even secretly sent people to the Sain Plateau in an attempt to investigate the tribe of the Macragges, but they were cleared out by the remaining Ultramarines as soon as they approached Astarte City.

"If anyone dares to ask me this question, I'll blow my head off right now." Ren stared at Akland and replied calmly.

Akland shrank his neck, and the curiosity on his face disappeared.

"Hahaha... Just kidding, you actually took it seriously." Ren laughed loudly, patted Akalande on the shoulder, and walked out with his arms around him.

"It's not funny at all!" Akland pushed Ren's hand away angrily.

Now Rennes is famous in the empire, and he is also famous for his warhammer. He has repeatedly blown the enemy's head in battle, making many people terrified. The fate of the king of Congatro is an example. Moreover, Ren's expression was so serious just now, and it involved the secrets of the Ultramarines. Who knows if he would suddenly swing a hammer over?

Ren let go of his hand and smiled without saying a word.

Akalande was also very interesting and didn't ask any more questions, and walked through the castle to the front hall. Before leaving, he looked at Ren who sent him out, opened his mouth and finally didn't speak.

Ren saw that he hesitated to speak, and his soul was also very emotionally entangled, so he said:

"Say something quickly."

Akland hesitated for a few seconds, and when Ren was about to lose patience, he finally said, "Then I'll say it."

"Hurry up, I have other things to do." Ren took out the voice watch and glanced at the time.

"Look at this."

Akland took out something from the ultimate ring of the dimension, and Ren's expression changed instantly, because it was a submachine gun, the submachine gun used by the Gunwing Knight, and the dark gun body had a metallic luster, and it looked heavy. .

"Where did you get it?" Ren asked.

He observed the submachine gun carefully, and found that the appearance was exactly the same as the one he had made. When he took it into his hand, he felt something was wrong, the weight was wrong, and the internal structure was slightly different. The parts are assembled, more like normal firearms products.

Akalande's face was serious, and he replied: "This appeared at an auction in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City a few days ago. It was bought by the branch president of the Mechanics Union over there, and it was delivered to me."

Ren nodded.

He rubbed the submachine gun in his hand, and after thinking about it, he said, "Go to the mechanical alchemy room." Akalande followed him back to the castle, and the two quickly entered the spacious mechanical alchemy room.

There were also Ultramarines standing guard here, and Akland looked curiously at the equipment in the room. There were all kinds of mechanical tools, some of which he couldn't name. A large number of alchemy materials were piled up on each table, protected by rune circles. Obviously this was Ren's private studio.

There is also a small shooting range on one side of the mechanical alchemy room.

Ren stood at the shooting end of the shooting range and said, "This submachine gun is an imitation. There should be more than one in that auction, right?"

"Yes." Akalande withdrew his gaze from looking at the alchemy room. "There are fifteen in total, and all of them were bought away. The cheapest one was sold for 1,200 gold shields!"

"There are quite a few people who know the goods." Ren sneered.

Akalande smiled wryly, "Who doesn't know the reputation of the Ultramarines? There are also Gunwing Knights, who used their submachine guns to sweep Congatro's extraordinary army three years ago. The secret of the submachine gun."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the cooperation between the mechanics and you, I would also like to do it quietly."

Ren snorted.

The eyes of the soul saw that Akalande was telling the truth, and the imitation of the submachine gun had nothing to do with the mechanic union.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, when Rennes decided to equip the Gunwing Knight with a submachine gun, he was already mentally prepared to leak it. After all, the Spear Wing Knights are only the first-level extraordinary people, most of whom are first-level or second-level. They are fearless on the battlefield, but they can't prevent the prying eyes of those high-level extraordinary people in normal times.

Since two years ago, the Spearwing Knights were deployed to the cities of the Principality of Augustus, far away from Fort King Kong and Glamorgan, and their camps were often attacked by thieves.

The targets of these shadow fighters are submachine guns!

Most of the thieves were discovered in time and killed on the spot, but there were also a few extremely powerful transcendents who succeeded, including many legend-level shadow fighters, and the ultimate fighters were also helpless.

There were even two or three times when the Gunwing Knight was attacked while patrolling the city, causing casualties, and the submachine gun was also taken away.

Ren was furious and pursued it himself.

But he is not omnipotent. He only recovered a part of the submachine guns, and a few guns are still missing.

After catching those people and interrogating them, they found that they were not actually sent by some big forces. Some of them just took risks and wanted to sell submachine guns at high prices to make a fortune; The most desired group of people.

It has been a year and a half since the earliest submachine gun disappeared, and imitations finally appeared on the market.

So Ren is not very surprised.

As expected, those submachine guns have fallen into the hands of big forces and have been studied countless times.

Ren shook his head, raised the imitation submachine gun, and fired at the target.

bang bang bang!

The gunfire rang out loudly, and stopped after a few seconds. Holes appeared on the opposite target. The power was extremely extraordinary, even stronger than a real submachine gun.

Ren pulled out of the magazine, took out a bullet from it, looked at it twice, and couldn't help laughing.

"How is it?" Akalande asked eagerly.

"It's just an imitation of the shape and structure." Ren returned the gun to Akalande, "It still uses conventional phlogiston bullets, no different from ordinary soul guns."

The key to the power of a submachine gun lies in the specially made caseless bullets.

Only the shell of this kind of bullet is made of phlogiston, and the inside is filled with the unique propellant "invented" by Rennes. It only needs one-twentieth of the soul power to activate the bullet, allowing the Gunwing Knight to shoot continuously without any scruples. mode to shoot enemies.

Ryan noticed it during the test firing.

This imitation submachine gun consumes a lot of soul power, far exceeding that of caseless bullets. The bullets used are cylindrical metal shells filled with phlogiston. He is a legendary sorcerer, he can withstand so much soul power consumption, the average gunman can't withstand it at all, I am afraid that he will be exhausted after a few shots, and he will not be able to last.

In this way, there is no essential difference between it and the previous soul gun, at most it can only shoot continuously.

If the shooter's continuous shooting frequency is too high, then he can't use soul power to support the phlogiston bullets. Many high-level gunners' unique elements and skills cannot be used, and this has fallen into an endless loop.

"It turns out that the problem is the bullets." Aklande looked puzzled.

Ren looked at him with a half-smile, "Couldn't you guess it?" The vice president of the machinist union, with countless talented people under him, wouldn't be able to see the problem? This imitation submachine gun must have been studied by him countless times.

"Cough..." Akalande showed a bit of embarrassment.

Ren didn't want to expose him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Are there any special bullets for submachine guns in the auction?"

Gunwing Knight usually carries at least five filled magazines with him. When the submachine gun was taken away, a batch of bullets were also lost.

"Special bullet?" Akalande shook his head strangely, is this bullet wrong? He immediately reacted and asked curiously: "What kind of submachine gun bullets?"

Ren directly took out a boxy caseless bullet and threw it to the opponent.

"Square bullet!"

Akalande was taken aback, he had never thought that such a bullet existed. When the caseless bullet was in his hand, his "metallic touch" took effect immediately, sensing the mystery of the caseless bullet, his face was full of surprise, and he praised: "What a fantastic idea!"

He studied the caseless bullet in his hand over and over again, and soon became a little confused, "Only the shell is made of phlogiston, but the inside is not hollow. It should be filled with a non-metallic material. This is the biggest secret of the submachine gun, right?" ?”

"Yes."

Ren gave Akland another real submachine gun, "You can try it."

"Okay!" Akalande was overjoyed, skillfully opened the safety and fired at the target, firing all thirty bullets in the magazine in one go.

When the fire ceased, his eyes widened.

"So it is!"

"The power of firing so many bullets is not small. One bullet is equivalent to a ring of magic missiles, but it only consumes so little soul power!" Akalande couldn't let go of the submachine gun, and exclaimed: "No wonder the spear-wing knight clearly It's just a rudimentary Transcendent, but he can maintain such a powerful fire suppression."

He held the caseless bullet in front of his eyes and asked Ren, "Is it okay?"

"You can try it." Ren nodded.

Akland thought for a while before moving.

He carefully mobilized his soul power, a light green flame gushed out from between his fingers to form a hair-like filament, which circled around the shell without a case, and began to cut inward.

This green flame is the Mechanic's "Smelting Fire".

The main soul fused with the mid-level mechanic is called "Mine Road Sour Firefly". This strange huge insect feeds on metal and can spit out green flames to melt metal. After the mechanic is familiar with it, it can be used to quickly smelt metal materials, and also Being able to repair, strengthen, and restore various mechanical products is an essential element for every mechanic.

The temperature of the smelting fire is not high, and it looks very inconspicuous.

However, it was a kind of flame after all, and the flame transformed from soul power was instantly ignited when it came into contact with the phlogiston shell of the caseless bullet.

boom!

The bullet exploded, and the bullet flew out rubbing Ren's face, leaving a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Akland asked Ren for another caseless ammunition to try, and it blew up again soon. Lane simply gave him a full magazine with thirty rounds in it.

bang bang bang bang...

No matter how careful Akland was, the bullets always exploded one after another.

After he found that this method didn't work, he gave up the "fire of smelting" and changed to violent dismantling, but found that it didn't work either. This square bullet is perfect, there is no gap on the surface, and the shell case will be ignited as long as it is deformed by a little pressure.

Even, he cut the bullet in half with an extremely thin, light and sharp short sword at the fastest speed, but it still exploded, and it was too late to see the shape inside the bullet.

After ten minutes of tossing, the bullets in the entire magazine were blown up.

"How did you do it?" Akalande was completely convinced, and asked depressedly.

He has too many questions.

Not only is he curious about the internal material of the caseless bullet, but how did Ryan make the phlogiston into the shell, as if it was cast from the whole body?

Renn already knew that this would be the case, otherwise, the auction house in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City would not only have imitation submachine guns. Its receiver structure has been changed to adapt to conventional phlogiston bullets, and the shell needs to be ejected when firing. The overall structure has become complicated, and the shooting accuracy and speed have declined.

This is just the first line of protection.

Ren believed that someone must be able to find a way to remove the propellant from the bullet. After all, there are too many magical spells in the world.

Then they will run into the second problem: how to decipher the composition of gunpowder?

The propellant for caseless bullets was improved by him. It is completely different from the dwarf's "Fire Sand". system, without the participation of extraordinary power at all.

If you use alchemy to explore the composition of the propellant and its development method, you may never get results.

In addition, there is also a bullet primer, which is not much more difficult to crack than propellant powder.

The principles of chemistry and alchemy are fundamentally two different things. If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you study, it will be in vain.

Ryan is very confident about this.

Submachine guns and caseless bullets have been in the hands of outsiders for almost two years, and up to now only nondescript submachine guns have been produced, which shows that my prediction is correct. After those people got the submachine gun, they failed to research the authentic product, so they auctioned off a batch of imitations to confuse their sight.

Maybe they've run out of caseless shells.

"I'm sure I won't tell you how to make caseless bullets." Ren smiled, looking at Akalande's anxious expression, "I rejected you and the mysterious president a few years ago, but what? , things are different now.”

"What do you mean?" Akalande's eyes lit up with anticipation on his face.

"Those gunmen are so eager for submachine guns, and I shouldn't monopolize them, lest there will always be people who sneak up on the gunwing knights and cause unnecessary casualties." Renn paused, and continued: "I authorize the mechanic union to produce submachine guns, and I will Responsible for providing limited bullets, but the mechanic union must ensure that it can monopolize this business and prevent those imitations from circulating on the market.”

Akalande was pleasantly surprised, but he was not dazzled by the benefits.

"I'm afraid the Mechanics Union alone won't be able to suppress those forces." He felt a little tricky, and asked tentatively, "Can Wezeland also be involved?"

Ren thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then there's no problem." Akalande felt a lot more relaxed. With Anse Wodos, the holy soul wizard, as his support, he had a lot of confidence. He asked again: "What about the profit? How should the profit be distributed?" ?”

This is a huge business, and the distribution of benefits is clearly stated in advance.

"I personally want half." Ren said in a tone that could not be refused: "Wezeland Floating City wants 10%, and the rest belongs to the Mechanical Union."

"Okay!" Akalande immediately agreed.

He knew very well that the key to this deal was not to make money, but to greatly improve the overall strength of the Mechanics Union. You must know that Mechanics also relied heavily on the Soul Gun! Mechanics below the Legendary level are far worse than other extraordinary professions in terms of combat power, only slightly better than gunners, and submachine guns can perfectly make up for this shortcoming.

After discussing a few cooperation details with Ren, Akalande couldn't sit still, and hurriedly left the castle to ask the mysterious president.

This time Ren just sent him to the door of the mechanical alchemy room and stopped.

When he was alone in the room, Ren walked to the side of the indoor shooting range, and a brand new firearm appeared in his hand.

Its shape resembles a submachine gun enlarged twice. It is less than one meter long, huge and heavy, and looks like it weighs at least a hundred pounds. The overall structure is complex and sharp. There are several blue runes and energy lines shining on the gun body. The caliber is even more astonishingly large, and the thick handle does not seem to be used by ordinary people.

Just looking at the shape and style of this gun, you can feel a shocking atmosphere.

Ren sparked a bloody rage, his body grew a circle, his enlarged palm could barely hold the handle of the gun, aimed at a target 100 meters away, and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The gunshot sounded like a thunderbolt on the ground, causing the entire mechanical alchemy room to tremble, and the huge recoil was transmitted to the arm, making Ren frowned.

If it were an ordinary person, the recoil of this shot would have shattered the entire arm.

But the power of this shot was also extremely terrifying. The target on the opposite side was completely shattered, leaving a hole with a diameter of one meter on the wall, and cracks like spider webs spread around it, as if it had been hit by a shell.

Ren nodded in satisfaction, and secretly said: "The bolter finally deserves its name."
