Steel steam and flame

"Pneumatic weapons...?" Sotagang repeated. Ye Jielin turned her head and glanced at Cassia. She had something to say, but it seemed that the current atmosphere was not suitable.

"It is very feasible." Sotagang nodded in agreement, "But I want to ask a question first, Mr. Cassia, have you ever seen a armor that is truly used for fighting and killing? It is not a simple collection of steel. , the technical content condensed above will not be lower than that of the super vapor compression device. After all, the miniaturized super vapor compression device is the power source specially designed to serve the battle armor. There are many things that can be continuously improved on the above control system, as well as the basic structure and its own materials. The additional functions are destined to make the empire consider pneumatic weapons, weapons with astonishing destructive power, when manufacturing them. If I remember correctly, most of the materials of the body are made of a mesh structure of meteorite copper, which can be used at high temperatures. It is formed by allowing high-order alloys to naturally integrate into the network cavities of meteorite copper. It has high high-temperature resistance, and its strength and flexibility are far higher than ordinary high-order alloys."

"In other words, the armor, which was originally used as the third stage of the operation, is destroyed by pneumatic weapons. It places extremely high demands on the user and the pneumatic weapons themselves."

"There is basically no need to consider the pneumatic weapons that flow into the black market. They are all mass-produced works of mechanics when they are bored, or they are defects of the military. The energy of the phosphorus tube, as well as its own heat and sharpness Almost none of the above can meet our current needs." Sotagang is very clear about the current situation of goods circulating on the black market. "Originally, they are only weapons used by buyers to cut armored vehicles, and their functions are also in a wide range. It is limited to the specific thing of dealing with armored vehicles. After all, it is an item controlled by the empire and prohibited from sale. Just like those surgeries on the black market, the two can be compared to things of the same level."

"It is precisely because their performance is far from the standards of the imperial military that the supervision is much looser. And it is not easy for the mechanics to make a truly standard pneumatic weapon. It takes three or four months. time span. Within the group of mechanics, there are actually corresponding levels based on different technical strengths. Just like the academy in our school." Ye Jielin took over Sotagang's words with half explanation and half explanation.

"They can make pneumatic weapons above the standard, and they have almost reached the top of the pyramid among the mechanics. They have technology that far exceeds that of ordinary people, but if they want to surpass the imperial military or the big forces' own factories, it will almost never be possible. impossible things."

"What do you think those people did before they entered the dark world and became mechanics?" Ye Jielin asked Cassia, smiling.

"Technical engineers in the factories of the military and big forces?"

"Most of it is right." But it was Sotagang who answered Cassia's question, "You know, there are too many goods of unknown origin circulating in the dark world, but the most expensive ones, except for several energy substances, are military The products flowed in from all directions and forces. Just like the complete production line technology of Webley Arms Company behind Miss Ye Jielin, even though everyone knows that in terms of real-time technology, these production lines are two or three generations behind the top production lines, there is still too much Many people are fighting for it.”

"Even if it is two or three generations behind, it is still a level of technology and craftsmanship that cannot be deciphered or copied by ordinary factories." Cassia thought of the factories he took over, and the situation was exactly the same as what Sotagang told him.

"The situation is like this, so mechanics can have a higher status in the dark world, part of the reason is this. They are a group of people caught in the middle." Sotagang's tone seemed a little helpless, "As for the remaining That small group of people, most of them stand at the top of the pyramid of mechanics."

"Either they are extremely talented students from top schools in various regions. After graduation, they work in a factory for a period of time. After completing the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical manufacturing in a short period of time, they can grow into a machinist very quickly. . Or maybe it’s the professors in scientific research institutions and schools. Most of them like to use other identities in the dark world to make money with the knowledge and technology in their heads. Everyone has experienced the student days, maybe you and Ye Jie Miss Lin’s school is a bit special, but in my impression, many professors’ salaries are not very high.”

"It is definitely dozens of times more than the standard for ordinary people, but I think it is still not equivalent to the knowledge in the heads of these professors. Therefore, through some special channels, many professors are keen to work as mechanics in the dark world. Things. Apart from the products of the military and major forces, only the pneumatic weapons manufactured by this small group of people can cause damage to real war machines. After all, from the beginning of the design to the final completion of the war machine, everything is Their results.”

Cassia listened carefully, and Ye Jielin added at this time: "Just think about it, there are so many factories in the empire, but why none of them can make blue silver bullets. The same reason can actually be applied to pneumatic weapons."

Suota Gang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Ye Jielin's words were indeed much simpler than what he said.

"Then, let's go back to the topic." Sotagang put away his smile and looked at Cassia, but Ye Jielin just looked at her hands and thought about other things, "Mr. Cassia, now you still Sticking with the pneumatic weapons option?”

Cassia, who came out of her thoughts, recalled the memory of the volcano base and nodded. Perhaps out of expectation, Sotagang didn't say what he had planned, and the four of them spent a while in silence.

"Let's assume that there is a custom-made standard pneumatic weapon... Then the user... everyone is familiar with this kind of thing, and the conditions for use are all remembered. And if you want to obtain strong combat effectiveness and effects, you also need to use your own Extremely powerful.”

"What is recorded in the data is that in the last war, a single person invaded the enemy's defensive area and destroyed the entire battleship formation with just a pneumatic weapon. The weapon and the user have their own aspects, and they are mutually exclusive. Influence, but not equal." There is a negative element in Sotagang's words.

"That's Coach Bei." Ye Jielin suddenly said, "This is why he became famous in the war. Regardless of his status as the head coach of Samsung Academy, he is also a major general in the imperial military. There are also military schools. There are many people like Coach Bei." Cassia once again felt that he was lacking in established knowledge and surrounding information. This feeling was not the first time since the beginning.
