Chapter 495

In the past two or three years, Ryan has not been researching the miniaturization of the Titan Furnace. There are many other things, and the bolter is one of them. The time and effort invested is second only to the Titan Furnace, and it started earlier. In the end, great results were reaped.

The bolt gun looks like a submachine gun that has been magnified twice, but the operating principles of the two are quite different, and the power is even more different!

Where it differs the most is the ammunition.

A huge ammunition with a caliber of more than two centimeters and five centimeters in length appeared in Ren's hand. It was thicker than an adult's thumb and comparable to the ammunition of a shotgun.

The light red shell is made of phlogiston, which is hard and thin. The phlogiston is still used as a fuse, but what is ignited is no longer the propellant in the previous caseless bomb, but the solid propellant hidden at the bottom of the warhead, and a violent explosion occurs. Explodes, launching the heavy warhead.

This is also the reason for the deafening sound of gunfire when the bolter is fired.

The propellant in the second half of the warhead is a strange metal, Ren can't name it, and it is extracted from a green ore. According to its characteristics, Ren speculates that it is probably the "beryllium" in the previous life. After adding a catalyst, it can be used as rocket fuel under high temperature and high pressure, releasing huge heat to form thrust.

Under the huge thrust, the speed of the alloy warhead made of blue iron increased several times, possessing terrifying lethality, easily piercing through the metal plate armor.

Also, the warhead contains a hybrid high explosive that produces a devastating explosion when the bullet hits a target or is under pressure.

This is "Octojin", which Rennes has been groping for for more than two years, and was successfully produced last month. In his previous life, it was the explosive with the best comprehensive performance. It can be used as a propellant additive, which can kill two birds with one stone.

As a result, Rennes created a terrifying bullet that combines high rate of fire, high penetration, and high explosive energy, and named it "Explosive Bullet"!

He precisely controlled the amount of charge, and after repeated tests, the power of a burst bomb was roughly equivalent to the three-ring spell "Blast Flame Orb".

The soul power consumed by the Explosive Flame Orb is equal to that of the three-ring fireball technique, but its reputation is far less than that of the fireball technique, and its killing range is smaller, at most no more than two meters.

However, the temperature and lethality of the flame produced by the Explosive Flame Orb surpassed that of the Fireball Technique within two meters.

Explosive bullets are extremely similar to Explosive Orbs, even exactly the same, but the range, speed and frequency of Explosive Bullets are much higher than Explosive Orbs, and the soul power consumption is only a few tenths of Explosive Orbs.

Ren switched the bolt gun to the "continuous fire" mode, aimed at the nearby target and pulled the trigger.

Boom boom boom...

Blazing red flames spewed from the muzzle of the bolter.

A series of violent explosions reverberated in the mechanical alchemy room, as if standing next to a continuously firing artillery, the shock made the eardrums sting. The recoil produced by the bolt gun even caused waves of shock waves, and the walls made of boulders roared and vibrated, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The three targets in the indoor shooting range were instantly shattered, and deep craters were punched on the stone walls. The rubble was everywhere, and the smoke and dust billowed, as if they had been bombed by artillery.

In fact, the bolter fires a small shell!

Wren stopped the test firing.

In just three seconds, he fired fifteen explosive bombs, each of which was equivalent to the power of the third-ring spell "Explosive Flame Orb", and the surrounding temperature rose several degrees.

The bolt gun also became hot. The thick gun body was extremely strong without any looseness. The cooling rune array engraved inside took effect automatically, reducing the heated barrel, making a soft sizzling sound, and wisps of gunshots emerged from the muzzle. white smoke.

"It's all money!"

Ren sighed softly. Bolt guns are good for everything, but the biggest disadvantage is that the bullets are too expensive.

The cost of a burst bomb is roughly a gold shield!

In the continuous fire mode, with the rate of fire of the bolt gun, it can fire 300 bullets per minute, that is, 300 golden shields, and every bullet fired emits the smell of golden shields.

Shooting guns is playing money!

No matter how rich he is, he can't afford such consumption. If the four companies of Ultramarines have a bolter, there is no limit at all, and they can fire as much as they want, and they can bankrupt themselves in a few hours...

And that's not even counting the cost of the bolter.

The manufacturing material of a bolter is about 5,000 gold shields, and more than half of the value is in its dimensional magazine, which is also one of Ren's research results. The maximum ammunition capacity is 12,000 rounds of bullets, and the interior is divided into five Independent space, can hold five different ammunition, switch at will when firing.

A dimensional magazine full of ammunition plus a bolt gun, the total value is close to 18,000 gold shields, enough to buy a relatively mediocre epic weapon!

The labor costs paid by Ren himself have not been counted.

It has been more than a month since he completed the design of the bolt gun, and he has not installed it on the Ultramarines yet, just thinking about how to reduce the cost.

In addition, the structure of the explosive bomb is complicated, and it is laborious and time-consuming to manufacture.

Ren and Raistlin, the main body and the avatar used "activated metal" together, worked overtime day and night, and could only produce at most 3,000 explosive bombs a day, which was only enough for a bolter to fire continuously for ten minutes.

Submachine guns also consume caseless ammunition. There are more than 1,200 gun-wing knights, and each of them has to destroy tens of thousands of bullets just by training every day. In the past two years, apart from meditating and building spell models, Raistlin spent the rest of his time making bullets and repairing submachine guns, completely turning into a tool man.

This is why Ryan changed his mind and decided to cooperate with the Mechanics Union to produce submachine guns.

One is to remove the coveting of outsiders on the submachine gun; the other is to reduce the burden of manufacturing.

When talking with Akland just now, Renn didn't express all his thoughts. He planned to design a production line that could manufacture bullets in large quantities with only a small amount of labor, but the problem was how to control the phlogiston to form the shells.

At present, only "activated metal" can do this, and he has not found an alternative method, only has some clues, and it is not sure whether it will be successful.

If we go one step further and give the synthesized propellant to the mechanic union, sooner or later someone will produce pure gunpowder bullets, which will spread among ordinary people and impact the structure of the extraordinary world.

"This problem is not easy to solve!"

Ren frowned, feeling very troubled.

In the future, the size of the army under his command will become larger and larger. It is impossible to provide logistics supplies by himself alone. The entire military industry system will be maintained by himself. Not to mention too tired, if something happens to him and he can't get away, Glamorgan's The extraordinary legion will collapse overnight.

But this question is as difficult as the Titan Engine, and there is no answer for a while.

"The road ahead is long..."

Ren thought for a long time, and just about to put away the bolter, he saw Sicarius poking his head at the door of the mechanical alchemy room, and asked loudly, "Boss, what happened?"

"It's okay, just testing the new gun."

Ren saw at a glance that Sicarius was asking the question knowingly.

Every symbiote can sense the state of the original body at all times. The mechanical alchemy room is equipped with a soundproof circle, and only the vibration of a branch shooting is transmitted. Sicarius is on duty in the castle, and he immediately noticed it. Here comes the opportunity.

Ever since he saw the prototype of the bolter three years ago, he has been obsessed with it.

"New gun!"

Sicarius' eyes lit up, seeing the bolter in Ren's hand, he immediately took off his helmet and ran in, and asked expectantly: "Boss, this is the bolter you mentioned before, right? It's ready to use gone?"

Seeing his curious and unbearable look, Ren couldn't even move his eyes, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, come and try your hand."

He handed the bolter over.

Sicarius felt different as soon as he started, the heavy gun body was just right for his strength, even if he couldn't fire it, he could still use it to hit people.

The handle on the back of the gun is just the right size and feels great in the hand. When holding it, there is a strange feeling. This is a weapon tailored for myself, like a part of the body, as if the existence of the Ultramarines is to one day be able to Use it, it matches perfectly.

This is the ultimate weapon of destiny!

He didn't rush to shoot, and carefully admired the bolt gun in his hand, his eyes were full of intoxication.

The body of the gun less than one meter long weighs a hundred pounds and can be held in one hand. Like the Rambo gun, it is made of magic alloy. The only thing that can be disassembled is the curved magazine.

The barrel is big and thick, which means powerful firepower!

The silver-gray gun body is engraved with the golden emblem of the Augustus family on both sides, surrounded by red runes and energy lines, which penetrate deep into the gun body, which is very extraordinary.

The design style of the new gun is domineering and fierce, and Sicarius fell in love with it immediately.

He suddenly felt inexplicable excitement and excitement, the blood in his brain was throbbing, he raised the bolt gun towards the already smashed target wall, and pulled the trigger.

Click!

There was a light mechanical sound, but no bullets were fired.

Sicarius blinked his eyes, and pulled the trigger a few more times, but there was no response after a few clicks. He turned back in doubt, and asked depressedly, "Boss, is this broken?"

"It shouldn't be broken, but I forgot one thing."

Ren took back the bolter and said with a smile: "It can only be used by the person I designate. Even if it falls into the hands of someone else, it won't be able to shoot bullets without my permission."

"It's so amazing!"

Sicarius' eyes widened, not understanding how the boss did it.

Ren didn't explain, and Sicarius couldn't understand it.

This secret lock is his original technology. A "carving stone" that can record the wave frequency of the soul is inlaid inside the dimensional magazine. It is connected with the rune circle of the magazine to form a key function similar to the previous life. When the person holding the bolt gun pulls the trigger, a bit of soul power will be absorbed to unlock the dimensional magazine and release the bullets from it.

This ray of soul power is not much, and it must match the soul wave frequency recorded in advance in the engraved spirit stone before the bolter can be used.

If the soul wave frequency does not match, no matter how many times the trigger is pulled, it will be useless.

Even if the dimensional magazine is destroyed, the bullet cannot be taken out.

A carved spirit stone can record up to 20 different soul waves, and the authority to enter new waves only belongs to the first soul wave, which was decided when the dimensional magazine was made, that is, Ren himself, Others cannot add, delete or replace.

Carved spirit stone is also a kind of soul stone, but it is not commonly used, and its value is medium.

Regarding the function of engraving the spirit stone and the secret of the soul wave frequency, unless someone can also have the eye of the soul, it is impossible to crack the bolt gun and the dimensional magazine.

Ren is extremely confident about this, and he is not afraid of the bolt gun falling into the hands of outsiders.

He held the bolt gun in one hand, pressed Sicarius' body with the other, and recorded Sicarius' soul wave frequency on the engraved spirit stone inside the magazine, which took only a few seconds to complete.

"Try again." Ren smiled.

Sicarius held the bolt gun suspiciously and shot towards the target wall, this time he finally had a reaction.

boom!

The thunderous gunshots startled Sicarius, and the huge recoil almost made him lose his gun, and he took two steps back before stopping.

"Above Gilliman!"

"This... this is simply an artifact!"

Sicarius was dumbfounded, looked at the hole punched in the opposite wall, and then at the bolter in his hand, almost in disbelief. You know, it has been three years since he was promoted to Legendary Warrior. Not long ago, he just reached level 11, and his strength element reached level 8. He almost lost his grip when he shot!

The power of this gun is many times higher than that of Rambo's gun!

Boom boom boom!

Sicarius couldn't wait to fire a few shots. The deafening gunshots didn't make him feel any discomfort, but his blood boiled.

He has used firearms for several years, and he has also learned a lot about firearms. The bullet speed of the bolt gun, the recoil force of the shot, and the power of the explosion, but the soul power consumed by each bullet is lower than that of the Rambo gun. He was beyond shock.

Without Ryan's reminder, he switched to burst mode.

In an instant, the huge gunshots became more violent, almost like thunder exploding in the ear.

The bolter sprayed out a tongue of flame more than one meter long, the surrounding temperature soared, the heat wave was rolling, and the recoil from the gun continued. fall back.

bang...

After shooting for more than ten seconds, the three-meter-thick stone wall on the opposite side of the shooting range was pierced, and half of the wall collapsed, which alarmed the Ultramarines standing guard outside and rushed in.

"Okay."

Ren told Sicarius to stop, and waved for the Ultramarines at the door to go out.

However, these Ultramarines are all knowledgeable. When they saw the bolter in Sicarius' hand and the collapsed stone wall at a glance, they all stared straight at Ren, their faces The expression "I want to try too" is written on it.

"Hahaha..." Sicarius yelled cheerfully: "Boss, when will you give me a bolter? With it, I dare to slay dragons alone!"

Ren couldn't laugh or cry.

Sicarius is too floating. Using the power of a bolter to meet a legendary dragon can pose a considerable threat, but it is still difficult to break through the dragon's scales and skin. It must be shot four or five times in a row. The same point is possible.

"I just made a bolter." Ren said to the hungry Ultramarines, "Its ammunition costs a gold shield, and I can't make many, so just wait."

"So expensive!"

Sicarius paled in horror.

He shot at least 50 ammunition in that shot just now, that is 50 gold shields, which can buy a lot of food and supplies for the tribe. Ren, said with a dry smile: "Boss, I didn't mean to."

The other Ultramarines were also startled, and their desire for bolters subsided a lot.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to pay. Sooner or later, I will give each brother one." Ren put away the bolter and said with a smile.

"Long live the boss!"

The Ultramarines shouted in unison, and Sicarius shouted especially loudly, his face full of eagerness and anticipation.
