Chapter 113: The Driver (II)

By the time he stabilized his body and regained his composure, Kasia had already grabbed his sword in both hands and rushed over. Originally www.biquge.info the height difference between the two was not much, but the tilt of the hull made Kasia have a condescending feeling when he looked at Nolida. The tilted hull of the ship made Kasia accelerate faster, and in two steps he crossed the distance between the two of them, and the forged steel sword wrapped in black cloth in his hand became a silhouette that slashed sideways, slashing at Noreda's upper body.

But Nolida had already crouched down when the forged steel sword was about to slash at his body. The black silhouette slashed over the top of his head, the blade was long, the tip of the sword rubbed against the wall of the room behind Nolida, a puff of sparks, and the heavy curtain was completely cut off by the tip of the sword, breaking in the middle and falling to the ground.

The round window, obscured by the curtains, was exposed, and it was no longer the black clouds that were just right, but there was now a faint bright blue sky, without a trace of white clouds, as symmetrical as the blue pigment that had settled evenly under the surface of the lake. Below the sky, there was a black-red cloud of the main body of the black dust storm dyed by the last trace of the sun's afterglow, and the clouds that showed the shape of a vortex were still moving slowly, and how many incandescent lightning flashed in the clouds in this instant. Kasia knew they had come out of the black dust storm and were now flying high above it.

Then the next moment, his thoughts and eyes returned to the room in front of him, and the forged steel sword in his hand, which was still slashing diagonally, was immediately pulled back by him, and with a beautiful arc, the sharp blade under the black cloth slashed at Nolida's head again.

Norida, who had already established himself, did not give Kasia this chance, and the black leather case was blocked by him above his head, and the contents blocked Kasia's attack. Through the cut corner of the forged steel sword, the handle of the weapon that resembles a steel material can be seen inside.

Then, with a dull sound like a deep sea whale gushing out of a column of water, the rhythm and bite of countless gears, and the sound of shaft driving friction came from the black leather box. Finally, there were several of Kasia's familiar sounds of steam valves opening, and clouds of steam, thick as white clouds, emerged from the gap cut by the sword, rushing into his eyes.

Kasia hurriedly stepped back, putting some distance from Norida, and something slashed at the spot where he had been standing right behind him, sending a trace of white steam with it.

The metal zipper of the black leather case was finally opened, and Nolita took out a handful of something that was very rough, but gave an incomparably fine and delicate feeling. It was a two-handed tomahawk, no more than a meter long. The handle of the axe is thick, with spiral lines on it that prevent slipping. The body of the axe, that is, the broad and thick axe, is different from the forged steel sword in Kasia's hand, and is not cast from an alloy piece.

It was an axe made up of countless pieces of metal, gears, shafts, bolts, and the cutting edge of the axe was six independent, rapidly rotating, sharpened gears that were held between two pieces of metal by a central shaft like a chainsaw. Everywhere on the axe, there were bare rotating gears, and the whole axe looked like a metal piece that had just been cooled by cooling water from a red-hot state, and a trace of steam was gushing out through some valves and combination interfaces on it.

"It's a weapon that took a lot of work to get from a mechanic, and it's very expensive. Norida sighed faintly, and then grasped the back of the axe handle with his hand and twisted it slightly, activating the switch. I saw that all the gears and metal pieces on the axe began to operate under the designed program, and the speed of rotation became faster. All the sharp gears in the area around the edge of the axe, as well as the metal pieces held in place on the edges, began to slowly turn from gray to a scorching dark red. They were heated by something, because the air around the cutting edge had begun to distort from the heat.

"Pneumatic weapons, that's a good thing. Needless to say, the material itself is definitely more advanced than steel. In addition, the pneumatic weapon itself does not have any structure of a difference machine or an analysis machine, but with the clever brains of mechanics, several weapon transformation programs can be set up in it with a limited number of gears. For example, in the current state of air heat, a large amount of heat is generated by the friction between the metal sheet inside and the rotating gear, and the effect of the electric heating block can create an area with a temperature of more than 1,000 degrees on the main attack edge of this weapon. The energy in a green-light tube drives the steam circulation system inside the weapon, and it is no problem to keep it in this state for a year. "Nolida was very satisfied with the weapon in his hand, and even though the temperature rose, the color of the dark red blade remained the same, and it did not turn into a bright red burning state during this time. The materials on the cutting edge are special materials that are resistant to high temperatures, and the high temperature of 1,000 degrees does not make it emit a dazzling red glow.

At the same time, Kasia also took out the forged steel sword from the black cloth wrapped in it, and the snow bright sword body did not lose any advantage in front of the pneumatic weapon in Nolida's mouth.

"A modified body for a chainsaw?"

"Of course not. Nolida chuckled softly, the angle of the merchant ship had not changed, his head was tilted at an angle, he looked at Kasia and said, "How long the cold weapon has been with us humans, maybe only those archaeologists know. But it cannot be denied that this time is much longer than that of firearms. But now people are more inclined in their hands, and cold weapons have long been reduced to a by-product. ”

"Most of the time, the range and power of cold weapons are destined to be replaced by firearms, which is something that no one can deny. Cassia said.

"Yes, the convenience and advantages of firearms are destined to replace these things in our hands, both in terms of power and attack range. Even for surgeons like us, ballistics can be avoided very well. But when faced with the cross-fire of several light machine guns, no matter how agile the body and sharp line of sight are, it has no effect. "But many things have to have a precondition, otherwise many things can't be discussed and established." The same is true for cold weapons versus firearms. ”

He looked at Kasia, who had been on alert, and continued: "Especially when biotechnology such as surgery is developed, and when humans continue to explore the unknown world around them, and the countless discoveries that are understood, the advantages and disadvantages of cold weapons and firearms are constantly flipping. Guns are no longer king, just as the role of propeller planes has been reduced to the defensive aircraft of airships, and cold weapons have also been reformed at some point, of course I don't know the specific reason, but the rumors from the mechanics who made this weapon seem to have a lot to do with the extreme climate. But for whatever reason, cold weapons have in many cases been on par with firearms, and in some ways surpass those in our hands. And like surgery, pneumatic weapons are something under control, and not many people know about it. A lot of things are buried in the dark because of the fears of those in power. To understand this, we have to climb higher in terms of status. ”

Nolida suddenly said a few words that were very practical, and then a smile appeared on his face. "It's a pity that you don't have a chance. ”

Kasia's heart sank, he knew that he had been tricked, and Nolida said so many words not simply because he was in a good mood, but because he was delaying time, waiting for the full arrival of the red-hot state of the pneumatic axe in his hand. Just like in a steam factory, it takes a little time to heat metal, things like that, even if it's fast.

Nolida jumped in front of Kasia like a bear with a battle axe in both hands, and the pneumatic axe flashed a dark red shadow in the air with scorching steam and temperature, and slashed towards Kasia.

Kasia, who was not sure of the specific power of the pneumatic weapon, did not dare to use her sword to make a hard connection, and her body dodged, allowing the red-hot axe to slash directly into the steel floor under her feet. There was no expected violent collision sound, and the pneumatic axe slashed down with a violent spark, which was six sharp red-hot gears rubbing violently against the steel floor, and the piercing sound drove countless heated metal particles and molten metal liquid to splash out. The steel floor could not resist the power of pneumatic weapons, and a mark like an ordinary axe chopping on a tree appeared very clearly on the floor made of steel.

"You know, on the battlefield, it's used against those steel chariots. The level of pneumatic weapons, but only when you reach the rank of lieutenant can you have a preliminary understanding of the opportunity. Norida reminded Kasia, "Don't get cut." ”

Lifting the axe sunken in the steel floor with ease, Nolida's strength was enough to wield this bulky weapon with incredible fluidity. After a few hard hits from Noreda, Kasia had to do everything he could to avoid a direct collision with the pneumatic weapon. There were already several gaps on the forged steel sword in his hand, even if it was a high-grade longsword, but every contact with the pneumatic axe was not much better than ordinary steel.

Having to find a wider place, Kasia moved towards the door. Whether it is speed, or the agility and reflexes of the body, they have been greatly improved under the rejection reaction, and strength is not his only advantage. The room was still too small, and with a heavy axe, Norida could rely on some walls to defend against Kasia's high-speed sword moves from all directions. In the room, except for passively taking over with Norida, he has not been able to give full play to his own advantages. And in the hallways and halls, Kara's sniper rifle can also find a chance to destroy Nolida's pneumatic weapons. Although he had a revolver at his waist, there were no bullets in it, and if he wanted to destroy the weapon with his blue and silver bullets, it seemed that he had to find other opportunities. But now there is no such opportunity.
