Chapter 16 Steam Spiders and Mechanical Soldiers
Water, sunlight, and a little active metal.
Blue crystal ore can grow.
Gradually drain the active metals in the vein itself, and then grow under the action of water and sunlight, or self-replicate?
What is certain is that this crystal structure does not show biological form. Under high-intensity light, sufficient water and sufficient minerals, the growth rate can reach 300% of the normal rate, and after simple industrial processing, it can release pure hydrogen.
This world can develop such an amazing steam mechanical device entirely thanks to this.
In the previous life, only three players got the blue crystal ore mineral resources as the highest reward of the copy, and they all became the leaders without exception.
An efficient energy source, pollution-free, simple to mine, and can automatically extract active metals. Industrial waste that should have been scrapped no longer needs to go through a complicated screening process. Just pour it in and fish it out after a while.
Because there are means to produce and store hydrogen, with the assistance of this strong reducing agent, the smelting ability of this world has developed quite well. With a little magic blessing, they can create structures with quite amazing strength.
As for the unmanned mechanical spider, it is the so-called core engraving technology, a branch of magic and runes, a major evolution on a certain route, and fully automatic machines are still an insurmountable obstacle on Earth.
If there is a perfect energy source, it should be like this.
It's just a little more powerful.
The shot just now almost broke his shoulder.
According to the tactical manual, after firing, it is necessary to wait for a period of time for the inside of the gun barrel to cool down and dissipate heat. The blue crystal ore powder mixed with oxidizer will produce a large amount of hydrogen at the moment of impact. The hydrogen produced by the rapid reaction will then burn with the oxidizer to produce ultra-high temperature.
This drug pack exploded directly in the gun barrel, causing great damage to the rifling.
So these musketeers are holding muskets without rifling. The weapon can reach a range of 200 meters completely because the explosive power is strong enough.
The main feature is a strong force that can fly bricks.
In the game, you can remotely command a soldier to go to the front line and shoot at the enemy. As an observer, the player will even feel a little annoyed when he sees two soldiers grinding against each other for a minute without killing each other. He wishes he could pick up a gun and shoot for him.
Ji Lin stood on the right side of the array line he commanded, and fired at the oncoming infantry line with the infantry. The distance was estimated to be more than 300 meters, but he still commanded to prepare for the first round of shooting.
When entering the firing formation, you can pretend to be working, and you don’t have to follow other musketeers to advance to the enemy’s firing line.
The commander above also noticed this musketeer who was almost the fastest to prepare the team, nodded, and felt proud that the kingdom’s military training could train such excellent soldiers.
If Ji Lin stood here, he would definitely scold him for ten minutes. Facing this commander, your troops will have a bunch of breathing corpses in an instant after a round of artillery fire. If it weren’t for the supervision team, they would probably have already started to flee.
Advance, there is no such thing as advancement.
Leave this deadly matter to other friendly forces.
The storm of bullets started from the infantry array line, accompanied by bursts of white smoke. The infantry line in the distance was still a dark mass, and it was unknown how much results could be achieved.
He was not equipped with a telescope, which was a good thing only for senior officers.
"Reload!"
Your enemy is the same kind as you who has lived in the world for at least eighteen years. Everyone holds similar weapons and has similar wisdom. Eighteen years of life may be consumed in the moment of firing on the battlefield. There is no king of soldiers, no super soldiers.
Even if the physical fitness is several times higher than that of ordinary people, they will be taken away by volleys on such a frontal battlefield.
The battle of line infantry is quite cruel.
Either fire or move forward. There is no choice of retreat in front of you. Soldiers surround you from all sides. Once the line collapses, you will be greeted by the enemy's charge.
He chose to fire.
Ji Lin did not dare to relax at all. If he died so early, he would not have chosen this copy of the task book in vain.
The system would not issue him a task.
According to the system of "Civilization Lasts Forever", there is only a final evaluation in the dungeon, and the final judgment will be made based on his performance in the entire dungeon.
As the enemy gradually approached, he saw the tall shadows in the infantry line. Some six-meter-tall humanoid mechanical soldiers with slender limbs driven by a large number of gears were advancing along with the long infantry line. The target should be the steam spiders on his side.
After thinking about the scene of being swept by the big robot in his mind, the steam spiders were still a little miserable.
Until Ji Lin was close enough to see the arc flashing on the right arm of the mechanical soldier.
Not all steam spiders left the team to hunt the heavy mortars that attacked them. There were two teams of steam spiders waiting for an opportunity on both sides of the team. As the enemy continued to approach, they also arrived at the infantry line.
Since the steam spiders left the team, they have not been bombarded again, which is undoubtedly good news for them.
A special gunshot sounded, which sounded a bit like a sharp whistle, and the steam spiders began to overload the boiler and charge.
The Steam Spider is not a 19th century light cavalry. Imagine the feeling of a mobile boiler room weighing 2 tons and running at 35 kilometers per hour charging towards you.
The musketeers' shooting was much more effective than he thought. Eight steam spiders were knocked down and exploded by the volleys halfway.
As long as you can't stop its charge, once it enters your line, it will start to kill.
The effect of the steam mechanical spider's attack was similar to what he thought. A steam spider the size of a car was walking on six legs, the steam engine was roaring, and the boiler that had entered the overload state made the steam spider's movement speed even higher. That flexibility was even difficult for humans in the 21st century to do.
The pale steam rushed out of the high-pressure boiler in an arc, like the scythe of the god of death sweeping across. A third of the musketeers wailed and fell down directly under the super-high temperature steam, and then the savage steam spiders were held up by the mechanical soldiers. Ji Lin then discovered that the arms of those mechanical soldiers were flashing with blue arcs.
The high-voltage arc instantly paralyzed the entire steam spider, and it fell to the ground and never lived again, while the tall mechanical soldier walked towards it.
At the cost of twenty-four steam spiders, most of their infantry recovered from the bombardment and began to reorganize into a normal line formation. Whether it was worth it, Ji Lin felt that it was not worth it.
If he was in command, he would wait for the opponent to get closer, and then the steam spiders would replace the cavalry to attack and destroy the formation.
Even if a few more of their own musketeers died, it didn't matter. The killing effect of the steam spiders could easily make up for this loss ratio.
A qualified commander should achieve tactical goals while ensuring his own low loss ratio as much as possible. Only by preserving enough manpower can the army become stronger and stronger, let veterans lead new recruits, maintain a healthy structure, with mobile cavalry, filling infantry, and firepower artillery.
In most cases, having or not is better than being good or not. After all, there is a big difference between having no field air defense and having bad field air defense.
The newly trained troops are sent to die, and the newly trained troops are sent to die. This model is equivalent to chronic death.
The current one-time charge looks powerful, but in fact it makes the opponent not need to be afraid of the steam spider charge here. The importance of keeping a team of mobile cavalry at all times to make the opponent afraid to act rashly is beyond doubt.
When playing war games in the past, Ji Lin liked to keep a team of units with similar functions to mobile cavalry around.
Until the mechanical soldiers were exposed to Ji Lin's vision at a close enough distance, he obtained the specific information of this mechanical soldier.
