Release that Witch Chapter 1045: Black River on the plain
When the train stopped in front of everyone, Iron Axe finally got a glimpse of it.
It has only five quarters in total, which is much shorter than the one shown publicly. However, because it is wrapped with steel plates, it looks much thicker and bulkier. With its non-reflective dark appearance, it looks like a prone barren. Beast.
The shape of the car front segment and the rear section are exactly the same, except that they are arranged symmetrically. In addition to the two rotatable machine gun towers, there are also many small holes in the armor belt below. There is no doubt that those holes are Used by soldiers for observation and shooting.
Iron Axe can already imagine the situation when the enemy rushes to the new weapon.
The spear that fell like rain hit the steel plate, making a jingling sound, but the train remained motionless and still maintained a steady speed. At the same time, one side of its body spit out more than a dozen fires at the enemy, turning the target into the range into a honeycomb.
Whether it is Devil or Evil Beast, they can only be passively beaten. It is like a moving city wall, wherever it can provide the most reliable protection for First Army.
It's exciting just thinking about it!
There is a murmur of voices among the vigilant soldiers around.
But this is not the most noticeable part of the train.
In addition to stabilizing the front line for First Army, its ultimate goal is to destroy Taqila ruins and those skeleton monsters that are as tall as towers, so the large-caliber cannon is a must-have.
At this moment, the two deadly weapons are placed on the second and fourth cars.
Although they still carry 52mm stronghold guns, according to Your Majesty's, these guns have longer barrels and more charges. At this point, with one eye, you can see the difference. One gun takes up almost the entire space of the entire carriage, and even a machine gun cannot be plugged.
The tail of the gun barrel is also surrounded by a huge iron shell. That shell is even wider than the car body, so that even if Devil launches an attack from the air, the artillery's firing cannot be interrupted.
The only thing that worries Iron Axe is that although this new enveloping design is extremely safe, it also adds a lot of weight and volume, which is quite a bit heavy. Especially cannon needs to adjust the direction when shooting, if the whole rotation, can the train withstand the violent impact when firing?
"Report Your Majesty," a soldier trot before King, saluting, "All personnel are ready, please order!"
"This is a weapon that has not been formally listed. Whether it is maintenance or improvement, it is the responsibility of the Engineering Department." Roland shook his head with a smile, "So it is not me who is responsible for the test work today, but the Engineering Department Minister, you should report to her. "
Iron Axe then noticed that Queen also attended the test, but compared to other witch, her outfit was completely like a work clothes, so he didn't recognize it immediately.
"King, His Highness Queen ..." The soldier suddenly stuttered, and he saluted to Anna again, "All personnel are ready, ready ..."
"I see," Anna replied calmly, "let them start testing."
"Yes!" The reporter quickly yelled at the train, "Enable cannon!"
This episode made everyone smile inexplicably, but it did not affect the test in any way. As the password was issued, the alarm echoed over the forest.
"wū wū"
Iron Axe immediately cast his eyes back on the train again. When a squeaking sound of the winch bite came, he was surprised to find that the car body had actually changed.
Two thick "iron feet" were deployed under the second and fourth compartments. Before that, he thought it was just an insignificant baffle. It wasn't until it was fully opened that Iron Axe realized that it was a set of machines that could run independently. A flat iron plate was fixed at the end of the "iron feet". After falling into the snow, it even slightly propped up the carriage, like a giant spider Long feet.
This ... isn't this exactly what the Devil deformity looks like!
Did I get this inspiration from the enemy and use it on the new weapon?
But anyway, the pure metal combination not only does not have a hint of evil, but is full of grandeur. When these iron feet were completely settled, cannon finally pointed at the sky and made the first roar!
During the intense tremor and airflow, the black monster's grains did not move, as if consolidated with the earth.
...
It seems to be working well. Roland took off the earplugs and nodded in approval of Anna.
The subsystems have been tested many times before being installed. This time, they are only to verify the performance of the integrated system. It is not surprising that the first firing can succeed.
In fact, he values the four support legs under the gun mount more than the firepower unit and power unit of the armored train.
This is the first practical test of a hydraulic device.
According to Pascal's principle, the pressure on the sealed liquid is equal in all directions, so in u-shaped tubes with different cross-sectional areas, only a small cross-section needs to be squeezed with a small force to transfer a large cross-section to a large cross-section. Much more force. Because of this magnification of four or two dial jacks, the application range of hydraulic devices is extremely wide. It can be seen from manual pressure jacks to pump control machine tool.
Its only difficulty lies in processing and sealing, but for the current Neverwinter City, there are no technical difficulties.
The train is equipped with a set of hydraulic support equipment controlled by a motor.
Two steam-powered heads push and pull the car body. The abundant power can make the armored train travel at a speed of more than forty kilometers per hour. Next are two artillery units with fifteen rounds of ammunition in the turret, so it looks extra special. huge. In the middle is the ammunition loading vehicle, which is also the power source of the entire vehicle. One Dawn One can meet the needs of two hydraulic pumps and the interior lighting and ventilation.
These five cars constitute a basic armored train unit.
If the speed of reinforcements is not pursued, new compartments can also be added to the front and rear heads, such as troop carriers or sentry vehicles that suppress more firepower. This is also the charm of armored trains. By changing the trailer section, a variety of tactics weapon can be combined.
Just in the endless exclamation, Edith came to him with a smile.
"In this way, the most important part of the Taqila plan was attacked," she stroked her chest, "don't know the name of this new weapon?"
Roland groaned for a while, "Just call it Black River."
"Black River?" Edith eyes turned, "corresponds to the bloodline of Devil?"
It is indeed Pearl of the Northern Lands, he could not help but raise his mouth, "... Yes."
In areas not covered by red mist, Devil once transported thousands of crisscrossed red mist bloodlines to maintain the frontline sentry stations. This is not only their line of life, but also the blood that made Federation extremely fearful Lines. Now, there will be another color of lifeline on Fertile Plain.
A dark armored train will carry people and ammunition, cruising in the Guangmo Plain, forming a new black river.
