Chapter 123: Guerrilla Artifact
Long Pao Ji also likes this kind of ferocious thing very much, especially after having Crazy Iron Dog as a means of transportation, even the shortcomings of large shell consumption have been made up, which makes her even more tempted.
But after some consideration, Long Paoji finally had to give up the development of the mortar.
Mortars were abandoned for two reasons.
One is the firing process of the mortar, which must be parked on the ground, set up a position, and be aimed and fired. There is no way to fight while walking on the march, which is obviously much worse than those bazookas.
The bazooka can be carried on the shoulder, and it can be fired continuously while riding a crazy iron dog, and it is too flexible and too flexible.
As for another reason for abandoning mortars, it is the terrain here that is limited.
You must know that Emperor Shi Tian and the others are now fighting in the underground world, and the sky above them is not an infinitely high blue sky, but a stone firmament.
Although there are places that are very high, it does not prevent the firing of mortars.
But in many places, the stone sky is only one or two hundred meters from the ground, and firing a mortar at this time will not cause any damage to any enemy from a distance, except for smashing a hole in the stone on the head.
This made the application range of the mortar much smaller, so Long Pao Ji had to abandon it.
Then, the dragon cannon Ji looked at the bazooka again, this is really a good thing, cheap, easy to use, powerful, and accurate and ruthless, and very flexible.
Especially after having the Crazy Iron Dog as a mount, hundreds of cave people carried this thing, running wildly and shooting wildly, and thousands of rockets were fired at once, even the city wall had to collapse directly, right?
However, after some careful consideration, Long Paoji had to give up the bazooka again.
Because the bazooka has an extremely fatal drawback, that is, the range is too close.
Two or three hundred meters is still a little accurate, 500 meters away can only rely on Meng, and if you die, you can fly 600 meters, 700 meters, and then you have to blow yourself up.
But don't forget, this is the realm of gods, there are as many magic as dogs, and the magic is everywhere.
With the power of magic, bows and arrows can easily shoot a thousand meters, not to mention catapults with a range of several kilometers, and ultra-long-range spells with a range of more than ten kilometers.
In this kind of world, who do you say you hit with a bazooka with a range of several hundred meters?
I'm afraid that before you can get over, you will be beaten into a sieve!
In desperation, Long Cannon Ji had no choice but to give up the bazooka, and then focused all his attention on the last option, which is the 107 rocket launcher known as the 'guerrilla artifact'!
At the same time, there were three types of guerrilla artifacts, namely assault rifles, bazookas, and 107 rocket launchers.
But in the eyes of Long Pao Ji, there is only one real guerrilla artifact, and that is the 107 rocket launcher!
The so-called guerrilla artifact is an artifact-level weapon used by guerrillas against the regular army.
And the equipment of the guerrillas is obviously too far and far worse than that of the regular army, and in this case, any hand-to-hand action is akin to seeking death.
Then assault rifles and rocket launchers are all at a range of two or three hundred meters, and when your guerrillas can hit other people's regular army, other people's regular army will definitely be able to hit you, and the firepower is much more fierce than yours.
The most important thing is that the regular army has money, body armor, bulletproof vehicles, everything, and it is difficult for assault rifles and bazookas to cause much damage.
On the other hand, at such a close distance, once the guerrillas are attacked by the regular army, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and they will not be able to stop it, and it will be difficult for them to even escape.
In this case, assault rifles and rocket launchers do not play much role against the regular army, and at most they are self-defense weapons.
But the 107 rocket launcher is different, it can shoot accurately within two kilometers, and the longest range can reach eight kilometers, that is, 8,000 meters.
The most important thing is that this thing can be connected in series, and then a dozen or 20 of them can be fired out within a minute, with fierce firepower and great power.
One can imagine launching a wave of attacks on the convoys of the regular army from a distance of several kilometers, and then turn around and run.
When the regular army reacted, they couldn't find anyone.
As long as such harassment is carried out incessantly, with almost zero casualties, and a large amount of damage is inflicted on the logistics convoys of the regular army, then no country and army can bear such losses continuously.
That's why this can be called a guerrilla artifact!
When Long Cannon Ji was a mercenary with Emperor Shitian, he fought a lot of battles on the ground.
Sometimes they work as a regular army to clean up the guerrillas, and sometimes they act as a guerrilla force and harass the regular army.
In this process, they all fully realized the power of the 107 rocket artillery.
Especially when they were in the regular army, they were afraid all day long, whether they were marching or sleeping and resting, even in the barracks, they were afraid that they would suddenly be attacked by a barrage of rockets.
But after becoming a guerrilla, Dragon Cannon Ji and Emperor Shi Tian began to enjoy the fun brought by the 107 rocket artillery.
Several people quietly sneaked into each other's vital points with rocket launchers on their backs, such as airports and the like, and stopped a few kilometers away, which could ensure their own safety.
The next step is to unleash the attack, first aim well, then set an hour later to automatically detonate, and then disguise it a little, and then they will run away.
An hour later, the enemy's airfield was heavily bombed, and the fighters suffered heavy losses.
The frustrated regular army came by helicopter to search for the enemy, but all they could find was a pile of scrap metal that had self-destructed.
And the culprits Long Pao Ji and Emperor Shi Tian ran away an hour ago, and they should have already started counting money excitedly!
From this, it can be seen how perverted the 107 rocket launcher is, even in the interstellar era, the guerrillas on the ground are the first choice for this kind of thing, and countless modifications have been carried out.
And when he was a guerrilla, Long Pao Ji loved the 107 rocket launcher to the extreme, and personally participated in and designed several special modifications.
Among them, Long Pao Ji thinks that the most successful modification is to turn 107 into 122.
In fact, there are many calibers of rocket artillery, and the largest ones even have calibers of 400 or 500, but why is a 107 caliber rocket artillery an artifact?
The reason lies in the fact that rocket artillery of this caliber, in terms of size and mass, is suitable for individual soldiers, and it is larger than it, and it cannot be carried by individual soldiers, it is smaller than it, and its power is slightly worse.
In the interstellar era, although humans have strengthened their strength through genetic drugs, they have not strengthened their body size, and their average height is only about 1.8 meters.
The rocket artillery with a large caliber will inevitably be lengthened, and it is inconvenient to carry it after checking, so in the end it can only be used with 107 caliber rocket artillery.
Of course, you can also use mecha to carry it, but the mecha target is too big, and it is difficult to avoid the reconnaissance network of the regular army, so only 107 is the most suitable.
However, the dragon cannon Ji has innovated on this basis, but it is simply thickened, but the length has not increased much, and it can still be carried comfortably by individual soldiers.
So, the dragon cannon invited Aladdin to tell him his thoughts, and asked him to magicalize this weapon.
Aladdin is worthy of being a god-level alchemist, and after listening to the dragon cannon Ji's thoughts, he quickly came up with the finished product.
This thing has the shape of a round barrel with an inner diameter of 107 and a square frame on the outside.
The reason why 107 is still used is because Long Pao Ji considered that the strength of the cavemen under his command was too light, so he did not dare to directly use the heavier 122 caliber.
As for the square frame on the outside, this is a special attachment of the interstellar age, which makes the round barrel become a regular quadrangular prism, which is easy to carry and at the same time, it can also be aimed with a prism for direct fire.
Crucially, there are also special tenons on the square frame, which allow them to be easily snapped together with each other, which creates multiple rocket launchers.
Because it is a random combination, you can have as many as you want, four pipes, eight pipes, sixteen pipes, and even thirty-six pipes, forty-eight pipes, you can combine them.
The combined advantage is that a huge number of rocket launchers can be fired in a very short time, which can form an overwhelming carpet bombardment, thereby greatly increasing the lethality.
After a month of hard work, Long Pao Ji and Aladdin finally handed over a satisfactory answer sheet, and with hundreds of samples, they found Emperor Shitian.
At this time, Emperor Shi Tian was busy settling peasants in the New World. Finally took a moment to meet the two of them, and looked at the framed metal tubes all over the floor, and he couldn't help but show a look of anticipation.
Without any nonsense, the little angel raised his hand and waved, and first a light curtain was displayed in front of Emperor Shitian, on which was the information card of the new weapon.
Designation 107 rocket artillery
Nicknamed the guerrilla artifact
Grade bronze upper position
Weight: 8.5 kg shell, barrel plus frame, 1.5 kg
The firing range is 2000 meters for direct aim and 8500 meters for projectile shooting
Propulsion Spell: Large Arcane Missile (used to propel rocket artillery)
Killing spells: Wall of Fire, Burst Fireball, Thunderclouds, Poisonous Mist, Group Greasy, Ice Ring, Madness, Acid Rain, Earth Split. (All of them are level 3 spells, and new spells are being developed all the time.) )
Seeing such a data card, Emperor Shi Tian was immediately satisfied, the overwhelming third-level spells, the explosion power is definitely greater than that of 150 caliber artillery, and there are some powerful spells in it, which can even be comparable to 203 caliber artillery.
And the accurate range of 2,000 and the range of up to 8,500 meters make it a great killer that can suppress the enemy's long-range firepower.
With only ten kilograms of full combat weight, the cavemen could carry one or two on their backs.
As for the crazy iron dog, it can even run around the battlefield with a dozen or twenty rocket launchers.
At this time, it needs to have an extra launcher on its back, and it is running wildly and firing at the same time, how fierce is the firepower?
At least in terms of firepower output, almost catching up with the tank!
Of course, no matter how good the data is, it is only a superficial article, and it cannot be called a good weapon unless it has undergone brutal experiments.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian first asked with concern: "Have you done a live-fire test?"
"All types of rocket artillery have done at least ten rounds of live firing, and all of them have been successfully fired, both in terms of power and accuracy, and they have also met the requirements, so I specially brought them to you!" Long Pao Ji said proudly.
