Chapter 711

Regarding the development of the new artillery, he conceived many plans.

As the saying goes, there is no best weapon, only the most suitable weapon. After comprehensive consideration of combat opponents, battlefield environment, production level, etc., he finally chose a mortar that can be far and near, and cheap to replace the outdated front-mounted field gun.

Its range can effectively cover an area of ​​200 meters to 3,000 meters, filling the gap between heavy machine guns and fortress guns, and at the same time enhancing the strike effect at close range.

Due to the existence of the impenetrable line of defense, the most important function of the mortar is to fill in the gaps. It can be carried by soldiers, go over mountains and mountains, and establish an artillery position at any point in the mountains. It is light and easy to carry, which is difficult for other weapons to match. In addition, the height difference between the foothills is very common, and the curved firepower can exert its greatest power in this terrain.

The production level of Neverwinter was the reason for Roland to finally make this decision.

The structure of the mortar is much simpler than that of the howitzer. The shell shell can be made of cast iron, and the barrel has no rifling. The production requirements are lower and will not affect the production capacity of the 152mm artillery. If another small-caliber field gun is developed, whether it is a retreating recoiler, a rifled barrel, or the corresponding trigger fuze shell, it will conflict with the fortress gun that is currently trying to be independently produced.

In the case that the new machine tool and processing technology have not yet passed the test, even if the attempt fails, Anna is still used as an emergency measure to supplement the key parts of the fortress cannon with black fire, and the impact will not be too great. However, if the new field artillery is added, the production pressure will inevitably increase exponentially, and the First Army may fall into the dilemma of having no artillery available.

In addition, Roland also considered developing a grenade for individual soldiers as a supplementary weapon, and even made a few samples for testing, but the performance of the experimental product filled with black powder was really unbearable to look at directly. Maybe it will be useful, but in the face of evil beasts and devils, its power is not enough.

Considering that Neverwinter's chemical production capacity was not yet luxurious enough to distribute double-based gunpowder-filled grenades to every soldier, he had no choice but to give up this plan.

...

After nightfall, Roland walked down to the second floor and gently knocked on the door of Anna's bedroom.

With a creak, Anna poked her head out from behind the door, and she looked quite surprised when she saw him.

But this surprise only lasted for less than a second, and soon a blush appeared on her bright face.

Walking into the room, Roland picked her up from behind, walked lightly to the side of the bed, and lay down on the soft big bed with her.

"How are you today..."

Anna's blue eyes shone like jewels in the night.

Usually, she would take the initiative to find Roland two or three times a week. According to her, such a frequency would not affect her daily work. Of course, if Roland asked, she would not refuse. It's just that since confessing his feelings for Nightingale, he always felt very guilty, and he hasn't asked Anna for anything for a long time.

And it was the first time to come to Anna's room in person—although she was the only one among all the witches who lived alone, but after all, the leaves and scrolls were sleeping next door. Considering the sound insulation problem, the two would always communicate deeply upstairs. In a situation like this, it's no wonder Anna was surprised.

"I want to talk to you about the dream world," Roland whispered in her ear, "I don't have time to go into details this afternoon, so you want to know more... about the life I have experienced in the past."

"What you dreamed was another world?" Anna quickly guessed a corner of the truth.

"That's right, it's like a world based on my memory, but it has many special features, such as the power of nature that is very similar to magic power..."

The night he confessed to Anna, Roland discovered that she knew nothing about Nightingale, but from the beginning to the end, she had been waiting for him to speak out. From then on, he understood Anna's approach. Although she would not hide her emotions or thoughts from him, she would still wait patiently for some things. The only reason was probably that she didn't want to embarrass him.

This made Roland faintly worried. He didn't know where the boundary was. If one thing and two things continue to accumulate, will it make her gradually change to hide her thoughts and wait in silence? Compared with becoming silent because of fear of being hurt, he prefers to trust him with all his heart and speak out Anna.

So Roland didn't plan to hide anything from her anymore, even if she didn't take the initiative to ask, he would confide in it.

Anna obviously saw what he was thinking, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "I see, then let's start with your residence. In the dream, did you also live in the castle?"

"No, it's a tube building, similar to an apartment where many people live together. Everyone has a small apartment, and there is a person in my room that you can never guess."

"Hmm... it can't be Zero, right?"

"Pfft—cough cough, why?"

"It's very simple. You said that you only had such a dream after defeating Zero in the Soul Battlefield. Half of the birth of the dream is related to you, and the other half is related to her, right? Two people who created the world appeared in the It's not a strange place. It's just that... she didn't attack you again afterwards, did she?"

"That's not true. She lost all her memories before she woke up, and turned into a teenage kid—the kind of guy who has no hair on his mouth but thinks he knows everything."

"Ten years old, living together again... Could it be that she has become your family?"

"Uh, Zero was fostered by her parents and came to my place, so she can be considered a tenant."

"Yes, then you have to take good care of her."

"Why? That was a dream."

"But didn't you say that it is no different from reality? If so, why bother to distinguish whether it is a dream or not?"

Roland once again marveled at Anna's different thinking from ordinary people. The content of the chat seemed to be going off the rails. However, seeing Anna's radiant eyes and tone of voice full of interest, he didn't bother to care about these details.

From the building of the soul to the fragments of memory, and from the force of nature to the Martial Arts Association, at the end of the chat, Anna's voice gradually sank—she rested on Roland's arm, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her breathing became more and more stable... Although she had fallen into a Sleeping, but the other hand firmly held his waist, as if unwilling to let him leave, so that he could not return to the bedroom without disturbing her.

Anyway, just spend the night here, and hope that no one will notice him coming out of the bedroom on the second floor tomorrow morning.

Roland kissed Anna's smooth forehead, and fell asleep together with her in his arms.
