Chapter 182
"It doesn't need a magic core? Then what does it use as energy to drive these... strange arrows?"
Looking at this weird-looking vehicle-mounted automatic turret at close range, Anqi still couldn't believe that his army of one million people could actually lose to these iron lumps.
"Gunpowder." Weiwei waved her hand and said:
"This thing is more complicated. If I tell you, you probably won't understand it. Anyway, there is no magic used in it."
"Depending on the internal filling, the effect after the explosion is also different. Different shells are fired completely differently."
"The one that blew you up that day is called a rocket bomb, and the warhead inside is called a cloud bomb. It is currently the most powerful bomb here. How do you feel?"
An Qi's face froze, remembering some not-so-good memories, and whispered:
"It's strange. After the explosion, there was not only hot fire and strong shock waves, but also a suffocating feeling. It was very difficult to even breathe. At that time, I thought it was your human magic union that had developed some new type of magic. , I didn’t expect it to be this kind of thing.”
After the cloud bomb explodes, it will quickly drain the surrounding air. Of course, it is normal to feel suffocated.
That is because she is a seventh-level warrior, and her physical strength has already exceeded the limit of carbon-based creatures. Otherwise, these two consecutive cloud blast bombs hit her face, and her body would turn to ashes.
After hearing her question, Weiwei said calmly:
"Principle? How would I know? I didn't make this thing."
With that said, he took Anqi to a temporary maintenance workshop.
If so many guns are fired next time in a high-intensity battle, of course some vehicles or the weapon systems mounted on them will malfunction. Several hundred of the 10,000 soldiers are engineers who are professionally responsible for equipment maintenance.
There is a lack of heavy equipment here, and in many cases it is of course not that convenient for large vehicles to be repaired and maintained by these people alone.
But the good news is there's no shortage of strong people here.
Any second- or third-level warrior can remove some parts with bare hands that require mechanical assistance.
It saves a lot of trouble.
Hundreds of maintenance engineer masters, each with a few local cattle and horses in Mengchuan City, can barely guarantee the maintenance of these thousands of vehicles.
When it comes to transporting ammunition during wartime, these local strong men in Mengchuan City are much more useful than the cat trucks that transport supplies and ammunition.
It's not that Jiuzhou and Su Yi can't afford to send these vehicles. The key is that the number of people who need to be sent is limited, and the vehicles need people to drive them.
So we can only find these ways to replace it.
As soon as Anqi entered this huge temporary maintenance workshop, he saw that it was filled with various vehicle turrets. Many weak humans were directing some huge horses and oxen to do this and that, and they seemed to be very busy. .
Cows and horses are not adjectives here, but descriptions that are consistent with reality.
Second- and third-level human warriors usually have some social status, much higher than ordinary people. In this world where blood is supreme, let these powerful warriors listen to the orders of a bunch of ordinary people and do this and that. It's definitely not going to work.
Moreover, they also need to be stationed on the walls of Mengchuan City.
So the coolies Weiwei found for the engineers were not humans, but a group of orcs.
Minotaurs and horseheads are the most honest and obedient and least aggressive among the orcs. There are almost none.
But at the same time, these two kinds of orcs are powerful. As long as they reach adulthood, they are comparable to second- and third-level human warriors.
Some individuals can even have the strength of a fourth-level warrior.
But in a human country like the Blazing Sun Empire, the status of these orcs is usually very low.
Although the average strength is not bad, the high-end combat power is almost non-existent, not to mention the bloodline. Those so-called noble bloodlines are basically those whose ancestors have produced super strong people.
Under such circumstances, the status of these orcs in the Blazing Sun Empire is naturally very low, even inferior to ordinary people.
And although they are hard-working and honest, they are usually timid and afraid of fighting, to the extent that even the strongest men in the human army are too lazy to fight.
The most they can do is to forcibly capture a group of them during a war and send them to the logistics force to transport supplies.
This is naturally the case now.
When Weiwei heard that the female officer responsible for communicating with her mentioned the manpower problem and needed a group of strong and powerful people to help do some heavy work instead of machinery, she immediately gathered all the tauren and horse-headed people in the city without thinking. .
Thirty thousand cattle and horses were sent to the reinforcement camp that day.
These orcs were quite scared when they were recruited at first, thinking that Mengchuan City could not be defended and the city leader wanted to drag them to fill the line.
After arriving at the place and finding out that I only needed to move things around, I quickly settled down.
Very obedient, it can be said that they do whatever the engineers tell them to do.
Originally, in this kind of world, if you were drafted into the army, even if you didn't need to fight, you just had to work, you had to bring your own dry food, and you didn't get paid.
Although these cows and horses were obedient, their enthusiasm for work was not very high at first.
Coupled with the language barrier, there are many obstacles to communication between the two sides.
Until they worked in the camp all morning, and when they were ready to take out the dry food they brought to fill their stomachs at the end of the work, they were suddenly pulled into a temporary open-air canteen by the engineers who led them to work.
Here, these strong and powerful beasts of burden, who were at the bottom of the magic world, had the most abundant meal in their lives.
After eating, the senior officers of the reinforcements who had used the language access card came to tell them the treatment for helping in the camp.
Hearing that they would not only be provided with food and accommodation, but also be paid afterwards, these orcs who were used to being exploited could not believe it for a while.
But the meal was eaten.
Therefore, with a skeptical attitude, these orcs began to actively cooperate with the work of the engineers and carefully learn what they were taught.
The efficiency of mechanical maintenance quickly increased, and even experienced engineers said that even if there were professional equipment here, they might not be as fast as these orcs.
For example, dismantling the wheels of those trucks.
Under normal circumstances, you have to use a jack to lift the car first, and then use a machine that is specially used to remove the wheel bolts of the truck to hit it one by one.
Even with mechanical assistance, it takes more than ten minutes for one person to remove a wheel.
But after teaching these orcs, everything became simple.
What jack? They don't need it at all.
A few people lifted the car a little, and another one took a wrench and went up to tighten it.
The speed was faster than any special machine.
After a few days of getting along, these soldiers from Kyushu had a very good impression of these orcs.
And goodwill is mutual. When you show kindness to others, others can certainly feel it.
In the eyes of orcs, these people who came from nowhere, dressed strangely, but can use extremely powerful weapons, are no different from angels.
