Utopia

So after he returned home, he continued to indulge in the new round of weapon equipment design, and rethought how to get the army's approval and use of the 6mm caliber submachine gun.

"He..."

"Leya, don't worry about him, just take care of yourself."

"Then Beth, you... have you already..."

"What's the difference between the four of us having it or not? It's just a matter of earlier or later. But there are a lot of things in Solo City recently, much more than here."

Since the natives openly crossed the river to attack Ketuo City, the garrison militia of Solo City and the regular troops of the kingdom have increased the intensity of patrols in the surrounding areas. Even on this basis, these troops carrying heavy firepower have repeatedly used different types of artillery and even different types of shells on the land of the New World to solve the problems of the indigenous tribes.

I have to say, what is strict cleaning, this is it.

Even if the natives think they are fearless, facing the regular army of the Kingdom of Negan, they basically die or run away, and they are not even qualified to be prisoners.

The various guns and artillery of the Kingdom Army, and even the severe sanctions of the priests who accompany the army to summon meteorites and create thunderclouds at any time are no joke.

Especially when the priests take action, an entire tribal camp with thousands of natives will enjoy what is called complete destruction in half an hour.

As for the spoils of war, anyway, Solo City, as the officially established capital, has obtained the greatest value, resulting in the local economy not starting to decline due to the reason of mobilizing troops.

At the same time, more importantly, completely destroying an indigenous camp is to ensure greater security.

"I heard that Solo City allows the Chamber of Commerce to form its own expedition team to help deal with various troubles in the south of the city."

"Xin Mi, this can only be said to be Solo City's own request. After all, you all know that Sogen doesn't like the people in the city to run away to become adventurers one by one, leaving a lot of vacant farms, workshops, and shops to cause negative economic growth in the city."

"Is it mainly because we have naval and army troops stationed here?"

"Yes. There are reasons in this regard."

In fact, Beth understands the fundamental reason here. The total number of residents in Male City is less than 20,000. Such a number of people in the Eastern Human Kingdom can only be called a town or a district in the city. You must know that the Nigan Kingdom, which is learning from the Eastern Human Kingdom, is also very interested in big data. Let's not talk about other places. Just take Solo City, which is designated as the capital, and the number of residents scheduled for this place is 30,000.

And 30,000. What does 10,000 residents mean?

It means that the area of ​​Solo City must be more than 2 square kilometers.

Of course, the current population of the Kingdom of Negan is definitely not 30,000, and even the 10,000 mark is still a long way off. But this does not mean that the Kingdom of Negan will not reach it in the future.

You must know that until now, the strange white fog that appears from time to time in the New World has greatly interfered with the connection between various places. In order to deal with the white fog, the three towns in the New World, Solo City, Ketuo City, and Marle City, must open up a larger area of ​​direct jurisdiction and actual control.

So how can we control and develop more territory? The number of citizens must be sufficient.

As the eastern fortress of Solo City, the estimated development area of ​​53 square kilometers of Marle City is only more than 10,000 residents. Moreover, there are still a lot of areas that are not residential areas, which are basically military-controlled defense areas.

The number of coastal defense fortresses, naval ports, and air defense positions is unmatched by any town on the Gem Island.

Especially after the appearance of the automatic beam launcher that replaced the 37mm caliber machine gun, not only Marle City itself, but also Solo City was the first to purchase large quantities from Marle City. As for the 2mm machine gun that could be directly installed on a three-wheeled motorcycle for close-range fire suppression, it is a common heavy weapon equipment in the three towns of the Negan Kingdom in the New World.

So much so that Beth herself heard that experts at the Marle City Arsenal made secondary improvements and tried to come up with a triple-mounted version to enhance its firepower output. However, this idea was limited by funding issues. In addition, Congress had been blocking funding. Not to mention the development of new weapons and equipment, even the production lines of some weapons and equipment were restricted and shut down.

So two months later, Sogen once again returned to his three-story home under heavy snow. He got Otto's telegram from Beth, who was officially diagnosed with pregnancy.

"That's right, Otto. It's obviously written by his mother, so why did he have to send it in his own name?"

"Maybe Lehman did it on purpose. After all, their family often does this."

As Beth said, the telegrams or letters from the Omer family clearly have the names of the children as the senders, but inside they are written by Omer and his wife, Omer's sister Lehman, or her brother-in-law Ness.

Although it doesn't really matter to do this, after all, they are all members of the same family, but this makes Sogen and other recipients feel strange.

"So that's it, I understand."

When Sogen saw the contents of the document, he understood another reason why the 6mm caliber submachine gun he designed failed. That is, the ammunition feeder is too large, and the handwriting written by Lehman inside also illustrates a new phenomenon - the drum-type cartridge from the Eastern world.

Similar to the drum, the cartridge is actually the product of stretching the drum. But even in the Eastern world, as a new thing, the reliability of the cartridge is under public doubt.

Although the cartridge is easier to carry than the drum, the problem is that the structure of the feeding device inside the cartridge is very demanding on industrial processing technology.

Therefore, in the human kingdom of the East, no military or police in any country has adopted such a feeding method so far. What is more troublesome is that the cartridge cannot be directly loaded with a quick loader like a normal magazine, and can only be loaded one by one.

"Who wrote it to you?"

"Lehman. She told me about new things outside and asked me to refer to them. But I am not very interested in it myself. Even if I refer to it, I have to reconsider it and see if I can improve it."

Just like women have a natural pursuit of beauty, Sogen has his own unique views on weapons and equipment. So he returned to his desk, took out a new design drawing, and began to think seriously.

After all, the submachine gun that fires 6×2 mm pistol bullets is different from other firearms. It is a standard military weapon...
