Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"Your Highness, this is the latest product..."

A giant structure that looks very strange, shaped in a style that is extremely inconsistent with the aesthetics of the elves. It is three people tall and seems to grow horizontally, as if four steel bars are inserted into a base, and then a decorative dragon-shaped helmet is placed on the head.

What Carl cares about is the black iron pipe that symbolizes the position of the structure's arm. Several sealed hoses extend from the mysterious device behind themselves, showing the connection to the elbow in a naked form, if that bending device can be called an elbow.

Under the prince's instructions, the engineer had no choice but to start this test product. As a long-established structure project, they have already achieved some phased results.

Except that Tao Yong of Zhendan had difficulty finding samples, Imrick, who was particularly concerned about this matter, was very considerate to find enough samples for the project leader. From the lost rune colossus of the dwarves, the demon engine of the chaos dwarves, and the soul cage of the tomb king, all of them are extremely rare and powerful devices without exception.

But this plan was shelved a hundred years ago. The reason is simple. The cost is too high, and the actual effect is difficult to match the group of dragons. Imagine a large-scale awakening of a flying creature that can overcome the weak mobility of the giant beast unit, and he himself is the actual controller. No one will make a fuss and continue to consume resources endlessly.

Draknir restarted the project, but he asked for a little change. What level of samples can be produced without using magic.

Under the cooperative control of the engineer, the construct slowly raised its left arm through the wonderful transmission between the gears.

The powerful steam engine gave the construct powerful kinetic energy. The steam transported fuel to the weapon compartment through the sealed hose, and ignited through the precise ignition device, which suddenly raised the temperature of the test site by several levels. The flaming dragon has been ejected.

Inspired by the flames of the fire lizard's breath, the fuel is mixed with a flammable mineral that is unique to the mud of Lustria. These gadgets are extremely unstable. They will burn by themselves when rubbing against the air, and will splash like raindrops when encountering solid objects.

The test site turned into a sea of ​​fire, but Draknir was not satisfied. He shook his head and asked the engineer to continue. With this power, any dragon could do it.

The steam revolver, originated from the Rapid Pass, plagiarized from Juan, and finally perfected by the engineers of the New World. It was derived from Caledo's unique dragon armor forging technology, so that the barrel did not need to consider the most fatal cooling problem.

But the only problem is that finger-sized bullets cannot be fooled with lead bullets. They must meet the design caliber and requirements. This thing must use brass bullets...

One minute of shooting turned ten targets into a hornet's nest, and Draknir's eyebrows kept jumping, as if the scattered shells under the feet of the construct were not bullet shells, but numbers written on the finances.

A simple walk around, except for the relatively slow movement speed, very cumbersome operation, and must be used on flat ground, the construct code-named Iron Can is perfect, making hundreds of thousands of gold leaf coins go down the drain.

The engineer walked carefully to the prince with an uneasy mood. He knew that the war was coming, but he could not leave the laboratory without a breakthrough in technology.

In terms of operation, there was no convenient information transmission by magic. If the four limbs were to operate successfully with only gears and transmission devices, it would consume a lot of space in the construct.

"Your Highness, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in construct technology in a short time. From the perspective of cost performance, tanks that are easy to manufacture and operate are the best choice..."

"I know, but who can refuse an extra-large toy?"

The prince waved his hand to let the engineer recycle the construct, and his disappointed eyes were hard to hide.

Carl was amazed. He didn't expect the elves to prepare such a project, but he wanted something more substantial than the technological progress of the elves.

For example, the secret of steel, especially the special steel used for forging gun barrels.

The elves started their careers after engineering, but even the dwarves had to stay away from the expertise in high-temperature resistant materials.

"About..."

The emperor was just about to start and retreat to ask for some small things, but Draknir had already made his attitude clear.

"I can't easily promise what you want. This is the result of the joint research of many priests. But some small gadgets that are not valued may not be taken seriously by anyone.

But before that, let's take a look at other things."

In this way, Carl and Kurt came to the light weapons warehouse of the military factory, and here they finally saw the product of the combination of elves and Kislev culture - the revolver shotgun.

When Kurt lifted the "light weapon" that was as tall as a dwarf and as heavy as a dwarf, he subconsciously wanted to check the condition of the barrel.

When a dark barrel as big as a child's fist was facing his eyes, and the clearly visible rifling inside seemed to drill into his eye sockets, the battle-hardened Kurt also wanted to curse, which madman designed this.

Six shells of the same amazing size were quietly placed in the magazine position. According to the description of the Phoenix King, the engineers successfully developed a double-action revolver pistol without the help of steam power, relying only on the mysterious combination of mechanical existence, and successfully created an epoch-making semi-automatic weapon thirty years ago.

Adhering to the spirit of the North, the engineer perfectly combined exquisiteness and ruggedness, turning it into a single-soldier weapon in Kurt's hand, a suicide weapon with enough recoil to blow off an ordinary person's skull.

"Can I try it?"

"Please."

Under Draknir's playful gaze, Kurt, who was holding a revolver shotgun in one hand, held the butt of the gun in one hand. The marshal, who was not very familiar with the New World's armaments, held it in front of his chest by muscle memory.

In order not to put it on the shoulder to offset the recoil, because this thing was too big, even the sturdy imperial soldiers could hardly use it like a long gun.

He aimed at the target twenty meters away, which was the standard distance for testing muskets. If you can hit the target at this position, you can enter the provincial corps.

The marshal mistakenly thought that the guy in his hand was a single-person cannon, a replica of the Troll Hammer rocket launcher, but he soon realized that the Maozi was much wilder than the dwarves.

The recoil was enough to blow off the skull, making Kurt's arm numb. His body was suffocated by the force from the gun, and the gun, which was originally held steadily, was unnaturally tilted towards the sky.

The harsh sound made the marshal, who had experienced the destruction of the Slaanesh demon's sound waves, feel a little harsh.

A shotgun shell filled with tiny white bullets suddenly burst out from the muzzle and shot out in a cone shape. Only bursts of white smoke and black shadows could be seen.

As for the target, it had already been blown into pieces and scattered everywhere.

This result was somewhat beyond Marshal Rick's expectations, but it was not shocking. However, Prince Caledo's next words completely dumbfounded him.

"Sir Kurt, the basic condition for joining Caledo's multiple firepower support team is to be able to pull the trigger six times in a row, and you stopped after pulling it once?" (End of this chapter)
