The Infinite Journey of the Sage

Chapter 128 Electromagnetic Weapon Systems

The talks between the leaders of both sides lasted for 15 days in total.

The things negotiated are very large contracts, including aluminum, coal, petroleum and other contracts. To be honest, the prices of these things are very cheap. Except for metals such as aluminum and iron, other things can really be said to be very cheap.

Because oil is not used in engines and other fields, the Middle East is really poor and only has sand.

No more industrial gold and oil output, and there are no cash crops to trade over there.

Perhaps, population can be counted as one?

Schneizel might be confused as to why Kelal needs oil, but keep an eye on it.

But he never thought that this was Keilal's preparation to abandon Sakurashi Power.

The Sakurashi engine had inherent shortcomings from the beginning, such as torque and output power. On the one hand, Keilar is working hard to improve the structural issues of the Sakurashi engine. On the other hand, he is preparing to manufacture two types of diesel engines and gasoline engines.

This is just like the P51, which can be driven by both a Sakurashi engine and a diesel engine.

The two sides are connected in a sense. As long as Kelar can come up with the principle, Noeryu can make things.

First, theoretical work is the most difficult, followed by materials industry, and finally manufacturing issues.

But now that the materials for the Sakurashi engine frame have been solved, and Kelar can come up with a new engine frame and theoretical work, the manufacturing process is naturally not worth mentioning.

There are not many technical problems standing in the way anymore, and manufacturing gasoline and diesel engines is inevitable.

Someone will definitely ask whether it is necessary to continue to use diesel engines and gasoline engines when the Sakurashi engine has matured?

This is of course necessary. First of all, it can avoid risks. Once the cherry stones are exhausted, won’t the knightmare stop working?

Secondly, it allows for the development of various aspects of industry. You must know that gas turbines for large ships, diesel engines for submarines, internal combustion engines for aircraft, and piston engines for automobiles. Human industry is blooming step by step, like blossoming everywhere.

In Keilar's view, the industry in this world is very deformed. Once there is a problem with the supply of cherry stones, planes cannot fly, cars cannot run, and even wars cannot continue.

And because the second industrial revolution did not happen, chemical output was also very limited. The most typical example is that the power of guns in this world is very weak.

The bullets equipped on Knightmare are barely good at hitting people. The 12mm bullets can only be compared with the 5.56mm bullets of the previous life. As for the pistol bullets, they can't even penetrate ordinary steel plates.

It can be said to be very embarrassing.

However, at this time, Keilar was too lazy to engage in the chemical industry. That thing was more difficult than engines. Keilar directly found a new way to develop electromagnetic weapons.

Theoretically, this kind of battery weapon should have been available for a long time, but for some reason, no concrete conceptualization has been formed in this world.

Electromagnetic weapons are a system, a large-scale national weapon system for future weapon replacement.

The entire weapon system consists of lightweight weapons, infantry weapons and heavy weapons.

The lightweight weapon system is divided into two categories: pistols and submachine guns. It consists of three parts: battery, steel ball, and launching system.

Because it is an electromagnetic pistol, even though it has a battery, it is still lighter than gunpowder weapons. What's more important is that in terms of finger ammunition, because there is no problem of gunpowder, the capacity is far greater than that of gunpowder weapons.

This is the advantage of electromagnetic weapons. They are lighter, more compact, have longer battery life, have more ammunition capacity, are more powerful, can quickly replace batteries, and more importantly, can fire continuously and have a faster rate of fire.

Do electromagnetic weapons have no disadvantages? Of course not. Battery weapons are too precise and their reliability is worse than gunpowder weapons.

But does this mean we won’t engage in electromagnetic weapons? Just like when gunpowder guns came out, the loading speed was slower than bows and arrows, the accuracy was worse than bows and arrows, and the shooting speed was slower than bows and arrows. The Tatar Manchus dismissed gunpowder weapons, and then they were taught to be human.

Therefore, electromagnetic weapons are imperative, and electromagnetic weapons already have a certain development foundation in Lelouch's world. After Keilal proposed this concept, it was only in the past year that this system was produced. That’s all.

With this system in place, the firepower of the special forces is completely comparable to that of the regular army.

The regular army finally had the firepower to destroy the knightmare.

Infantry weapons are larger, starting with a battery pack carried on the back. This backpack can be replaced at any time. Secondly, there are two thousand steel ball bullet magazines on both sides of the backpack. One magazine contains 200 steel ball bullets, and two thousand rounds is ten magazines.

In fact, in normal combat, this battery backpack can provide more than 20,000 rounds of firepower.

But in fact, when they go to the battlefield to die, money may not be able to shoot so many bullets. So these bullets are actually prepared to a certain extent based on what they can afford.

Because soldiers have to carry more than just a battery and bullet magazine. There are also issues such as body armor, helmets, communication equipment, etc.

However, the power of this individual soldier system is that each of them has sufficient power supply, so a series of electronic devices can be used on them.

For example, night vision devices, thermal imaging, personal GPS, and auxiliary aiming equipment.

These can be integrated into the battery pack to become a separate set of individual combat equipment.

It is foreseeable that once this individual soldier system is completed in the future, the infantry, which has always been ignored, will become very scary.

The last heavy combat equipment is the electromagnetic gun.

From vehicle-mounted electromagnetic guns to electromagnetic tank guns, to warship electromagnetic guns, from knightmare hand-held gunpowder weapons to electromagnetic guns, to aircraft gunpowder weapons also becoming electromagnetic guns. Although this approach of completely abandoning gunpowder and embracing batteries is radical, But under the pavement of Sakurashi in this world, it has already taken shape.

And the theory Keilal gave them only helped them make a leap.

The benefits of electromagnetic weapons have been mentioned before.

In fact, electromagnetic weapons are being vigorously developed in the real world. Once these electromagnetic weapons are completed and radar fire control is added, it will not be that simple for knightmare to rely on its own sensitive speed to avoid them.

The deployment speed and firing speed of electromagnetic guns are much stronger than gunpowder weapons.

At that time, the gap between conventional weapons and knightmare will become very small.

This is of course one of Kelardo's preparations.

People like Kelal would never place their hopes on an ace pilot.

Although ace pilots are necessary, for example, the ace pilot Marcelo, who lost 158 ​​fighter jets, can be worth an army by himself and can turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment in the battle.

But why did Germany, which had these ace pilots, still fail?

Productivity, population, and comprehensive national strength are what determine the outcome of a war. Those who can see this are the winners.

Kelal didn't know if Schneizel saw this, but he himself had to change the problem of insufficient productivity of the EU and the Chinese Federation.

Trilateral trade is a very good option, but closer exchanges, trade, technical cooperation and exchange between the EU and the Chinese Federation are the trump cards that can truly defeat the Bunitalia Empire.

Instead of pinning your hopes on ace pilots like Ajid or Kallen.

Now it's time to go home.

Kelal's diplomatic trip to District 11 was very fruitful. He found his long-lost friend C.C., he also gathered an ace pilot Kallen, and even found a prince Lelouch who had perished. .

It can be said that these three people are the biggest gain from his trip to District 11. If there is anything else, it is probably the friendship between Cornelia and Euphemia.

After testing Schneizel a little, Kelal had a general understanding of the Bunitalia Empire, and the next step was to fight the Bunitalia Empire.

He may have only three months, or less, to arrange the Indian military zone's operations against the Bunitalia Empire.

But these three months are enough. The first is the individual electromagnetic combat system mentioned above.

These three months are enough to produce an individual electromagnetic combat system. By then, they will be equipped with individual combat systems. Indians can carefully test the combat level of this system.

Then there is the seventh-generation knightmare weakened mass-produced White Tiger of the Shenhu series.

These new generation knightmare will be supported by the Indian Military Region to test new performance, and the Indian Military Region will also make improvements and attach flying backpacks to the bodies of these white tigers. It is predicted that these white tigers will become flying weapons. The ground attack and combat will be handed over to the infantry with a large population. I wonder how much combat effectiveness this combination can exert?

No one knows until the actual battle.

But when it came to testing the Britannia with the Indian's life, Kelal didn't hesitate at all.

The Indian Military Region itself has the idea of ​​independence. This time, sending Lelouch there not only allows Lelouch to attract firepower, but also intends to weaken the strength of the Indian Military Region.

After the war between the Indian Military Region and the Bunitalia Empire was over, the political discourse of the Indian Military Region had been weakened to the point that Kelal could accept it.

By that time, whether it is attacking the Bunitalia Empire or directly recovering the Indian Military District, it will be a multi-purpose achievement.

What surprised Keilar was that Schneizel did not mention Monica, the twelfth Knight of the Round Table.

Does this mean that he has completely given up on Monica, the twelfth Knight of the Round Table?

Or is it just because of the political struggle that Schneizel gave up on this Knight of the Round Table whose faction was different from his own?

This speculation may be the truth. Monica and Cornelia have a very good relationship and are regarded as part of Cornelia's faction. Once she comes back, she will be powerful and the power of Cornelia's faction.

Schneizel would rather she never come back.

Does the huge Brittanian Empire still lack a Knight of the Round Table?

Not to mention anything else, Cornelia's guard knight Suzaku is not inferior to the ace pilot of the Knights of the Round Table. There are many people like Suzaku in the Britannia Empire. Schneizel could have promoted someone from his side to be a Knight of the Round Table instead of rescuing a Knight of the Round Table who was too close to Cornelia.

Cornelia thought that Schneizel had already discussed the issue of Monica with Keilal, so Cornelia, who gave full power to negotiate with Schneizel, had no idea that the second prince had given up on Monica.

However, because it was a problem on the European side, Kelal did not participate in the subsequent battles, and Keilal, who had no actual impression of Monica, only remembered this person after returning to the Chinese Federation.

It can only be said that this person's sense of existence is too weak, and he was directly forgotten by Kelar.

But since Schneizel gave up on Monica, Keilal was not so kind as to put her back.

But how to use her has become a question that Kelal needs to think about.

Of course, the Loli Emperor was also brought back to the Chinese Federation by Kelar. She could just be the emperor's playmate and teach him something, but from another aspect, she was not impossible to cultivate.

The bright and mysterious Kagura is also an extremely smart girl in a sense, and she can be used with a little training.

Keilal is truly hungry for talents now. He has to worry about almost everything and be busy with everything. After returning to the Chinese Federation, he found that he was so busy that he almost died.

It's not okay for this kind of thing to continue like this. He can somewhat understand why the emperor needs the power of eunuchs.

When people outside are unable to carry out your orders, eunuchs, who have no eggs and are extremely loyal, are obviously the last beings that the emperor can directly issue orders and pass them on.

It's just that if you rely too much on the eunuchs, it will become like this. The eunuchs can't get rid of their tails, and they use the imperial power indiscriminately to make the imperial power crumbling.

But now that Keilal has appeared and come over, he has begun to integrate both sides. He will neither reuse eunuchs nor those powerful people.

He introduced a new model to select talents for the country.

【Imperial Examination】

The answers to the most basic imperial examinations are issued together with the test questions, and the provincial examinations also have answers.

But after passing these two tests, when it comes to the national examination, these people have no further qualifications.

Because there is no answer for the national examination, and the only person who marks the exam is Kelal.

When you take the national examination, you will be able to know who is a talented person and who is a piece of trash.

This kind of imperial examination is held once a year and will slowly stop until Keilal thinks there are enough talents.

Kelar will first bring these people to him to teach them for a period of time, and then release them to complete their training.
