Chapter 1155 Brand New Design

Inside the shooting range of the palace, Luo Ji was playing with the rifle in his hand, and he seemed to be in a good mood that day.

When the trigger was pulled, along with a gunshot, the bullet that came out of the chamber accurately hit the gun target at a position of 100 meters.

Afterwards, Luo Ji skillfully removed the cartridge case, loaded the bullet, and continued to fire.

Obviously, he has been playing with this rifle quite slippery, and the one in his hand at this time is the latest research result of the Ordnance Research Department.

Of course, it is said to be the latest research results, but in fact, the range, power and accuracy are basically the same as before, because the biggest difference is not in performance at all, but in cost!

If the original manufacturing cost of a rifle is defined as number five, then the manufacturing cost of this rifle in Luo Ji's hands at this time is number three.

The original cost of one rifle, he can now make almost two.

The reason why this low cost can be achieved is naturally due to the racial talent of the goblins.

As we all know, goblins are very good at compressing costs. They can even cut the manufacturing cost of a piece of equipment in half, and then create a machine whose power and performance are basically not inferior to the original version, a complete black technology talent.

But the only fly in the ointment is to manufacture low-cost equipment, occasionally there will be a little glitch, and its own fault DeBuff...

But this still cannot deny the power of this talent.

This is a talent, and not everyone can do it.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Luo Ji handed over this matter to ye Xuan, ye Xuan could not say that she could make a rifle whose performance was not inferior to the original with half the materials.

At this time, the rifle in Luo Ji's hands was undoubtedly a typical low-cost rifle, but it was not the same as the original low-cost equipment of goblin civilization.

Just like all instruments generally have design drawings, the low-cost instruments researched by goblins naturally also have blueprints.

Still take the low-cost rifle in Luo Ji's hand as an example. If you want to build it, you can only follow the design drawings. Otherwise, you will not be able to trigger the effect. Either the performance will be greatly reduced, or the manufacturing will fail, and it will become a pile of tattered.

And under this premise, the great place comes.

Luo Ji first asked Chang Jiang Zhan (Goblin), the deputy head of the Ordnance Research Department, to take the original design and study a low-cost design.

After confirming that the low-cost rifle could be successfully manufactured according to the low-cost design, Luo Ji signaled Jiang Zhan to hand over the low-cost design and the finished product to Ye Xuan, and let Ye Xuan, the top ordnance master of the human race , Improve this low-cost rifle, while controlling the cost, improve the stability of the low-cost rifle and reduce the probability of failure.

After such a trip back and forth, a new design improved by the goblin and human armor masters appeared.

The cost of the latest type of rifle has increased slightly. The original cost of 2.5 has increased to 3, but the performance and power are not inferior to the original. The most important thing is that Ye Xuan's successful improvement has made the original goblin special. The device's malfunctioning DeBuff is gone.

Luo Ji, who received the blueprint at that time, was almost going to laugh like crazy, it's awesome!

A civilization, what is the biggest problem limiting the size of your army? To put it simply, two questions...

The first problem is the population problem. If you don’t take this into account and blindly recruit troops like a fool, it is likely to lead to the collapse of civilization development. Therefore, how to balance the number of soldiers in the army and the number of civilization population is very important. .

The second question is an economic one. To put it bluntly, it is money. How can you support soldiers without money?

As for the second question, if it is further divided, the place where money is needed to raise troops can be roughly divided into three small pieces.

Respectively, the soldiers' wages, daily food consumption and weapons and equipment costs.

Leaving aside the first two items, Luo Ji would be able to save a lot of money on the cost of the last weapon and equipment as long as the production of new weapons of this type begins.

At the same time, this type of method can also be used on various other equipment, such as steam trains, steam excavators, steam mining machines, etc.

As long as these batches of design drawings are produced, the financial pressure on his Myriad Realms civilization can be relieved!

In this way, Luo Ji, who was in a very happy mood, naturally praised Jiang Zhan and Ye Xuan a lot, and at the same time gave generous rewards quite simply, and asked them to make persistent efforts to quickly put the weapons of Wanjie Civilization at present. Do it all.

As for equipment such as steam engines, it is naturally handed over to the academicians of the Academy of Science and Technology.

At the same time, outside the western border of Wanjie Civilization, the infantry troops led by Guo Zhen maintained a mobile shooting posture and pressed forward all the way.

Facing the rain of bullets, even the agile, rough-skinned Gnoll could not escape the fate of eating a few more guns.

On this piece of savannah on the western border, a large group of scattered orcs have basically never been peaceful, which also caused the garrisoned troops in the western border to be much more busy than other borders.

However, Guo Zhen, who is the defender of the Western Border, thinks this is a good thing.

These orc groups are often not many in number, a dozen or so in number, dozens in number, and hundreds in number are rare, so the threat is very limited, just to allow the soldiers under his command to accumulate practical combat experience, especially later The batch of recruits who have been added has not seen blood. What use can it be used when it comes to the battlefield?

Just as Guo Zhen was thinking about it, a blood-covered gnoll burst out in the pile of corpses in the distance, and pounced on the soldier closest to him with his fangs and claws.

The physique of the orcs is far superior to that of human beings, and their vitality is extremely tenacious. Unless the bullet hits the vital point directly, otherwise, they will not necessarily die if they are shot five or six times.

The soldier was obviously a newly recruited recruit, and this sudden situation scared him stupid. For a while, he didn't move.

Just at this critical moment, Guo Zhen, who was standing dozens of meters away at the time, directly picked up the rifle in his hand, and then there was a 'bang', and the bullet that came out of the chamber went directly into the head of the jackal. .

The corpse fell to the ground, and the frightened recruit sighed in relief and sat down on the ground with a 'pop'.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing the voice, the recruit raised his head subconsciously, and Guo Zhen's frosty face suddenly caught his eye, and the huge sense of oppression made his mind instantly turn into a mess.

"General, general, I..."

"You are still on the battlefield, who allowed you to relax? Who allowed you to sit down?!"

While speaking, Guo Zhen's eyes swept over the rifle that had fallen to the side.

The recruit's heart twitched, he quickly grabbed the rifle in his hand, and then struggled to stand up from the ground.

"After returning to the city, run 30 laps around the training ground, and then do 20 rounds of gun training. If you can't finish it, you don't have to eat."

While speaking, Guo Zhen's eyes swept over the other recruits around, and then roared fiercely...

"You all listen to me, it's on the battlefield now! A little bit of relaxation, all you want is your life! I don't care if the corpse on the ground is dead or not, I'll give me a knife, do you understand? !?"

"clear!!"
