Douluo starts with the Pea Shooter

Lan Nuo has been inspecting the major factories in the territory for the past week. Although the grassroots management has been handed over to his clone, factory management is still a matter for professionals. The clone cannot be used. Dr. Zombie King's increase in professional skills is still a lot worse.

As for the wisdom in dealing with people, there is not much difference. Dr. Zombie King is only good at technical things. After all, this is a zombie that can't even bypass the garden. Even if he creates a super robot, it can only step on the garden.

The first thing Lan Nuo inspected was the coal and steel industrial complex. Steel is the foundation of most industries and the top priority in industrial development. Naturally, it must be taken seriously.

Unlike the steelmaking method on Earth, the Douluo-style steelmaking furnace looks a bit rough, but the effect is not bad.

First, the ore is screened by relying on the element separation soul guide. The minerals containing iron elements will be adsorbed and the slag will be directly thrown away. In reality, the ore selection step is very troublesome and requires the assistance of many technologies. In Douluo, only one soul guide is needed, which is really much more convenient.

The next step is to send these minerals into the steelmaking furnace, mix them with coal, and calcine them at high temperature. During the whole process, not only does the coal combustion provide high temperature, but there is also the soul guide on the cylinder furnace, which injects soul power into the interior, so that the steelmaking furnace can maintain a high temperature of more than 3000c for a long time.

Next, the element separator comes on stage. At this time, the molten steel contains a large amount of carbon elements, phosphorus and sulfur compounds and other impurities. The multi-channel element separator will absorb these impurities, and the next thing you get is almost pure molten iron.

Things cast with this molten iron can be forged, but the hardness of pure iron is not enough. It is okay to use it to make farm tools or cold weapons. When it comes to making industrial products that require higher strength, it is not enough.

So various rare metals will be added next. The alloy ratio is measured by the workers in this world, which is naturally different from that on Earth. After all, although the rare metals here are elements on the periodic table, their physical properties have changed greatly due to the influence of soul power.

Fortunately, most of these changes are benign, which allows Lan Nuo to obtain alloy steel with quite good strength. Just such a steel mill is basically better than all the blacksmith shops in the whole continent. The last living space for blacksmiths is probably to inject soul power into the process of forging rare metals to give rare metals special properties.

Although machines can also assist humans in doing this, it is difficult to mass produce, the cost is extremely high, and there is no urgent industrial demand. The slow development of such technology is considered to give traditional blacksmiths a last chance to breathe.

Lan Nuo, who has the scientific research ability of Dr. Zombie King, walked around the factory and proposed a lot of improvement plans. For many machines, almost just a glance will appear in the mind of the three-dimensional structure, and then find out the unreasonable design.

Overall, Lan Nuo is quite satisfied. Workers in any world are not fools. After spending so much time in the factory, these old workers have a thorough understanding of the equipment. Even if Lan Nuo can propose improvement suggestions, he can basically not change the framework they have formulated. It is almost difficult to build a more efficient system under the current technology.

Even so, Lan Nuo's casual advice still amazed the knowledgeable workers.

When Lan Nuo left, someone couldn't help but sigh: "He is worthy of being the one who created our soul guide industrial system. We concentrate on studying a technology, but he can still find many loopholes at a glance."

...

After inspecting the steel mill and chemical plant, Lan Nuo directly skipped most of the factories producing light industrial products and went to the military factory. It was not that he did not value light industry, but there were almost no technical problems there.

The technical content of today's light industrial products is quite low. With qualified steel supply, it is difficult for them to have problems.

At this time, the military factory was trying to produce percussion rifles. After having qualified steel, machine tools with sufficient precision soon appeared. Although it was still difficult to produce small internal combustion engines, the factory was still driven by oversized coal powder internal combustion engines, which would emit bursts of mind-blowing roars after starting.

However, the accuracy of making automatic firearms parts and metal shell bullets is basically no longer a big problem. They have also found a cheating method for the most difficult gun barrels, which can be quickly mass-produced.

This aspect still depends on the Hongchen family. They have the magical ability to control metals. It is because of them that the accuracy of machine tools has almost no threshold and has been rapidly improved.

And their ability to control the softening of metals was summarized by a genius among the clan members, and the corresponding soul guide was issued. In this way, when processing the gun barrel, the metal can be softened first, and then drilled. The whole process is as simple as drilling holes in wood.

Although this invention can hardly be used in actual combat, it has increased the production efficiency of the factory several times, which is really like a cheat.

Originally, a large number of parts that needed to be cast or carved by machine tools can be directly stamped after having a large amount of softened metal. The efficiency has increased by more than ten times, which is as simple as pressing plasticine into a mold.

The workers in this world are not bound by the disassembly drawings of assault rifles, but combine the manufacture of firearms with soul guides.

The most classic of these is the modification of bullets. With a softened soul guide, engraving soul guide patterns on the surface of bullets is as easy as movable type printing.

As long as you roll the bullet on the engraving, you can get the corresponding etching. As for the energy source of the bullet, it is the internal energy caused by friction with the air. It does not need to be charged separately, and it hardly affects the power of the bullet itself. Different etchings will add different effects to the bullet.

For example, frost special effects, flame special effects, or lightning paralysis, sharp armor-piercing.

Especially the last armor-piercing special effect, which is extremely useful for many soul beasts with amazing defense on the continent. It can make the bullet sharper and increase the penetration ability several times after hitting the enemy.

Most of the bullets on Earth are soft targets. Excessive penetration will cause the bullet to penetrate the human body, reducing the damage caused. However, the defense of soul beasts is obviously not comparable to that of humans. Many recycled scales are even harder than steel, so armor-piercing ability is extremely important.

This is also why Lan Nuo designed the missile in the form of a terminal discarding sabot tail fin armor-piercing projectile when he designed it, in order to be able to penetrate the defense of soul beasts.

The workers seemed to realize this, so in addition to bullets, the shells were designed to be even more crazy. Conventional shells are larger in size, and the patterns that can be etched are more complex. The shells can also carry their own energy. By reducing part of the charge and replacing it with soul power capacitors, the armor-piercing performance of the shells can be greatly increased.

As for the armor-piercing shells with fins, the design is even more crazy. Almost all of the energy storage units are attached with armor-piercing effects, not only adding sharpness to themselves, but also adding corrosion, fragility and other weakening attributes to the opponent.

In actual combat, it can easily penetrate a steel plate more than half a meter thick, and the defense of most soul beasts cannot resist the attack of this shell.

As for the artillery and firearms themselves, the changes made are relatively few, and more improvements are made in the observation and aiming equipment and user experience, that is, adding a scope that can amplify vision, or adding an inertial damper to the buttstock to reduce the impact of recoil on shooting.

After all, the design of these weapons themselves is very mature, and the space for modification is relatively limited. If too many modifications are made, it will even affect their reliability.

In addition to assault rifles and barreled cannons, the most produced in the factory are small artillery such as mortars and grenade launchers, which can hardly be called artillery.

The purpose of producing these things is also obvious, that is, to be used for mountain warfare, and it is clear that they are used to deal with soul beasts.

Of course, the effect of dealing with the army of the Sun and Moon Alliance will not be bad either.

However, before the two sides really go to war, Lan Nuo is also preparing to take his Spark Corps to conduct military exercises, and the target is the nearby Demon Forest.

Although there is military protection, the woodcutters in the Demon Forest are still often attacked by soul beasts, and the progress of land reclamation is not very ideal. The threat of soul beasts makes most people unwilling to settle here. The purpose of Lan Nuo's military exercise this time is to drive the soul beasts in the Demon Forest thirty miles inward. In his opinion, this strategic goal should not be too difficult to achieve.

The entire Demon Forest, like the Star Dou Forest, is a relatively narrow and long type, stretching across the borders of the three empires. Lan Nuo only cleared it out horizontally for thirty miles, which means that this narrow and long forest was shortened. It is still far away from the territory of the Evil Eye Tyrant. In theory, there will not be much trouble, and it is more about letting the troops adapt to new weapons.

After all, in the previous territory pacification war, the Spark Corps used the original weapons summoned by Lan Nuo's third soul skill, which had not been transformed by soul guidance, so the use experience was naturally different.

Before the expedition, Lan Nuo gave a simple speech to the soldiers. The general content was that the soul beasts in the forest had repeatedly attacked our kind workers, endangering the safety of our production and life. As a military force to protect the safety of the people, we must respond to this and give the people a safe border.

In this era, there is no environmental awareness. If there is, there is no need to consider whether it is environmentally friendly. The soldiers agree with Lan Nuo's words very much. Those who dare to eat people must be killed no matter what they are. As for what the soul masters think when they see the large number of casualties of soul beasts and the possibility of getting their own soul rings in the future, it is not what they care about.

Thus, an unprecedented large-scale battle against soul beasts on the Sun and Moon Continent began. More than 25,000 soldiers, ready to go, advanced in an orderly formation towards the direction of the Demon Forest.

Infantry and tanks coordinated, artillery cover, this is a modern army, which will perform a completely different war mode in the Demon Forest.

The horn of war has been blown, but the soul beasts in the forest know nothing about it. They still occupy their large tracts of territory leisurely, fighting for the right to mate.

Although they also have wisdom, they did not use their wisdom to create, nor did they unite together to build civilization. This is destined to make it difficult for them to leave their mark in history. For thousands of years, they have existed in the name of beasts. Except for the most powerful ones, no one remembers their names, and they don’t even have their own names.

The war began with the roar of artillery shells. The first to suffer were those enemies who were huge in size and could be easily spotted by reconnaissance planes in the air. Reconnaissance planes flew very high, and most flying soul beasts found it difficult to reach such high altitudes. Therefore, it was relatively safe, but the information that could be detected was relatively limited. Only those huge enemies, which were ten or dozens of meters in size, could be easily spotted.

These soul beasts are generally the strongest, occupying the most fertile areas. Many people mark their locations on the maps of the soul beast forest, because the predecessors have taught them with blood and tears that these areas are extremely dangerous. If they approach rashly, they will most likely be eaten.

However, these big guys never thought that their days of being domineering and powerful were over. The screams of the shells falling from the sky made their faces look weird.

It was a sound they had never heard before. The soul power fluctuations were quite weak, but it gave them a sense of danger.

Avoid, the soul beasts with more sensitive perception chose to avoid, but more were relatively dull. They have lived here for thousands of years and have long been accustomed to it. Nothing can threaten them. Even if they feel danger, they want to fight with the source of danger to prove that they are the strongest, can occupy the largest territory, enjoy the most prey, and occupy the mating rights of every female.

Then the shells fell from the sky. Although they were not armor-piercing shells, they greatly enhanced the armor-piercing ability.

A huge crocodile, who was very good at defense, lay lazily in the water, ignoring the dangerous source of very weak soul power fluctuations. When he saw the speed of the person coming, it was too late to dodge.

Such a high-speed attack was a huge threat to him, and the powerful armor-piercing ability directly broke his soul skills, tore the layer of golden scales condensed on his back, and penetrated the gray scales on his back, smashing into his body, and then exploded. A total of more than ten shells flew over, only two hit him, but for him, this was already a fatal blow.

The shells exploded in his body, and it must be said that his defense is indeed strong, like a balloon that has been blown up. The originally long crocodile almost swelled up like a pufferfish, and blood spurted out from the bullet holes on his back, but that was all. With such a huge injury, he couldn't survive.
