Chapter 17 What the Arsenal Sees
In a country with strict hierarchy like the Norman Empire, there are three, six, and nine grades everywhere. Weapons used by soldiers are of course divided into many grades. A suitable weapon is suitable for those who are often used For the soldiers who fought with others on the battlefield, it was almost equivalent to their second life. Under such circumstances, in the army of the Norman Empire, the more outstanding the military, the higher the rank and position of the soldier, it is only natural , will also have more sophisticated weapons and equipment, and those sophisticated weapons and equipment are not comparable to ordinary standard equipment in terms of craftsmanship or materials.
The super-heavy war sword "Men's Proof" that Zhang Tie once used was made of second-grade tungsten-manganese alloy steel. The weapons used by ordinary soldiers of the empire are generally standard equipment made of some ordinary first-grade alloys. When it comes to school-level officers, the weapons and equipment they use are already some third-level special alloy materials. The value of the third-level special alloy material has surpassed that of gold of the same weight.
As one of the rewards of the Norman Empire for the recipients of the Iron and Blood Medal, the warriors who have won the Iron and Blood Medal are allowed to go to the legion's equipment library to choose a non-standard equipment made of special alloy materials that are at least level three as their reward.
Since there are such benefits, Zhang Tie, whose body has recovered, will naturally not miss it.
Second Lieutenant Piping drove the car and carried Zhang Tie. In less than half an hour, he arrived at a base where the equipment department of the army's logistics department was located.
Because they are both officers of the logistics department, it is easier to deal with each other. Second Lieutenant Pepin has acquaintances here. After explaining his purpose and verifying Zhang Tie's identity, a captain officer of the logistics department directly took the two of them To the equipment warehouse.
Compared to the ordnance warehouse of the 39th Division. There are more than ten times more weapons and equipment in the warehouse of the Army Equipment Department. Zhang Tie, who visited the warehouse of the Army Equipment Department for the first time, really opened his eyes again. Those weapons and equipment that are more exaggerated than "man's proof" In the warehouse of the Legion Equipment Department, they can be found everywhere. And they were all well cared for.
All standard equipment was packed in boxes, and what Zhang Tie saw were basically non-standard weapons and equipment that could only be selected by officers above the lieutenant officer, and some of those equipment were similar to a door. On the surface, there is a terrifying shield full of thorns, a giant wheel ax as tall as a person, and a terrifying war hammer weighing more than 500 kilograms. There are nine stabbing hammers, and a super-heavy chain flail with a hideous shape is more than 5 meters long. double-edged spear. There is a super-heavy backpack machine crossbow like a small turret. According to the introduction, the combat equipment weight of that backpack-style super heavy machine crossbow has reached 1.2 tons. Zhang Tie wonders what kind of hunk can carry such a big guy on his back. Go to the battlefield.
In addition to these, there are various weapons and equipment that Zhang Tie knows and doesn't know.
If Zhang Tie's "Proof of a Man" was placed in this place, it would be inconspicuous at all.
The place with the strongest atmosphere of the Bulape War,
Perhaps it is the ordnance warehouse in the equipment department.
When I saw several terrifying war bows placed side by side on a row of weapon racks in this warehouse. For some reason, something special seemed to surge in Zhang Tie's heart. Zhang Tie had never touched a war bow before, but when he saw these war bows, Zhang Tie had some kind and strange feelings.
"Are there any troops with military exploits in the legion?" Zhang Tie asked the captain officer in the equipment department.
"In the entire empire, because the cost of training an archer is too high, it is far less expensive than training a crossbowman, so all the war bows in the imperial army are non-standard equipment. These few war bows are for several members of the legion. The equipment procured from abroad by masters of the bow!"
"Equipment purchased from abroad?" Zhang Tie glanced at the captain officer curiously. "Couldn't the Norman Empire be able to make a few war bows?"
"Warbows are the weapons that have the highest requirements on the manufacturing process and materials. Of course, the empire can also manufacture warbows, but in the entire Blackson Terran Corridor, the best warbows are produced in Jinyun Kingdom on the east side of the corridor..." That The captain officer glanced at Zhang Tie at this point, "Jinyun Kingdom is a human country with the Chinese as the main body. Those who can use war bows on the battlefield are all masters, and they are highly valued by the army chiefs. Bow masters have very high requirements for bows, and there are some stubborn paranoia, so..."
Speaking of this, the captain officer kept silent, but Zhang Tie understood what he meant, that is, none of those guys who are capable and confident in using war bows on the battlefield are willing to use second-rate war bows made by the Norman Empire. Everyone likes to use the war bow made by Jinyun Kingdom, so it is estimated that the empire would be ashamed to manufacture this kind of weapon by itself, and because it is non-standard equipment, a legion will not be equipped with too much, so simply purchased from abroad.
Seeing these war bows, Zhang Tie couldn't help thinking of Bruce. According to Zhang Tie's understanding of Bruce, if that guy could choose, he would definitely stubbornly choose the best war bow and would not settle for the second best. It is estimated that those who use bows and arrows must have some strange tempers.
Jin Yunguo——Zhang Tie remembered this name. As a Chinese, he felt a little proud in his heart, but standing in front of two officers from the Norman Empire, Zhang Tie was embarrassed to express this pride of being a Chinese. Instead, he picked up a war bow in front of him and looked at it.
The war bow is very heavy, about 20 kilograms, and the material of the bow handle seems to be very strange. It is neither gold nor wood. I don’t know what it is made of. The whole war bow is very well made. I feel the vigor and murderous aura of a golden and iron horse.
When putting the bow back in place, Zhang Tie noticed that there were two small Chinese characters "Huaiyuan" on the handle of the bow.
...
Because the weapons are made of special alloy materials of the third level, only the first level of the army officer is eligible to use them, so the warehouse where these weapons are placed should be smaller, only less than 100 square meters, just a room in the armory Inside, a door needs to be opened to enter.
Led by the captain officer, Zhang Tie and Second Lieutenant Piping came to this place where more advanced weapons were placed.
Compared with the scary looking and bulky weapons outside, perhaps because of the precious materials, the weapons in this warehouse look much more "normal". Guys, I can't see any of them. The three most common weapons in this room are knives, guns, and swords, and some other strange-looking things. There are about 200 pieces in total, because they are all non-standard. Every weapon here is almost unique in terms of shape.
Looking at the sophisticated weapons shining coldly on the weapon hangers, Zhang Tie's eyes were suddenly brighter than Wannian fluorite lamps.
There is no doubt that the most valuable and sophisticated weapon Zhang Tiechang has ever seen is here.
The officer who brought Zhang Tie in randomly pulled out a gleaming long sword with a pattern like fish scales from a hanger, and then picked up an ordinary finger-thick steel bar next to it, without seeing how hard he was trying to force it. , I just saw him holding the steel bar horizontally in front of his body, and swiping down with the sword in his other hand.
"Clang..." With a sound, the steel bar in his hand fell to the ground like a severed cucumber and rolled to Zhang Tie's feet. Zhang Tie bent down to pick up the steel bar, the entire section of the steel bar, Smooth as a mirror.
Such a weapon is really worthy of the word "cutting iron like mud". If an ordinary soldier's weapon is matched against such a weapon, the weapon in the ordinary soldier's hand will be cut off in less than three or two strokes. The captain officer brought the sword over to Zhang Tie for a look. There was not even a trace of a trace on the blade that had just cut off a steel bar, and the entire blade was still shining coldly.
Second Lieutenant Pepin also swallowed. In the eyes of Second Lieutenant Pepin, these weapons were piles of gold coins.
"Are all the weapons here of this level?" Zhang Tie asked the captain officer.
"It's almost the same, but each has its own differences. The third-level special alloys all have some strange properties, such as this..." The captain officer took a hand shield with a unique shape, "This shield uses The third-level memory alloy, no matter how you smash this shield, no matter how it deforms, as long as you put it on the fire and roast it, it will quickly return to its original shape when it encounters high temperature."
Putting down the shield in his hand, the captain officer picked up a heavy machine crossbow next to him. Seeing the captain officer pick up the heavy machine crossbow next to him with one hand, both Zhang Tie and Second Lieutenant Pepin ate shock.
The captain smiled, "This heavy machine crossbow looks heavy, but in fact, because it uses special alloy materials, it is much lighter than a light machine crossbow, but it is powerful. But there are not many! Take a look, you can choose any weapon here..."
Zhang Tie wandered through the excellent weapons and picked them out, because most of the school officers in the legion usually choose a long knife or long sword when they come here, while cavalry officers like long spears, so this storeroom Three things are the most, but there are many other things, even more advanced war bows, here are two.
Second Lieutenant Pepin suggested Zhang Tie to choose a long sword. Zhang Tie shook his head. The long sword here is good, but too conspicuous. The same goes for those swords and guns. Zhang Tie actually wanted to choose one that could be carried with him at any time, and could be used for fighting in critical situations. , but usually not very eye-catching weapons. If there is such a weapon, it will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with the kidnapping like last time.
In the end, among all the weapons in the entire warehouse, what caught Zhang Tie's eyes was a strange item, which was different from the other weapons placed on the weapon rack. In the red tray, it is softly rolled up in a circle, like a belt, and it is as inconspicuous as an ugly duckling among the magnificent and shiny weapons with different shapes around it...
