Chapter 403 Equipment Workshop

The moment Ji Lin walked into the workshop, he was attracted by the large, stationary machine placed in the center of the room.

A heavy instrument composed of a large number of precision metal parts is placed in the corner of the equipment warehouse. A large number of gears and metal axles build its exquisite body:

Layers upon layers of chrome-plated gears are nested into an overlapping structure, and the progressive calculation gears overlap and engage. Pipes extend from the bottom gear set and are connected to the iron-gray steam engine on the side.

Difference engine.

This was Ji Lin's first time seeing such a heavy-duty mechanically driven instrument in reality. This differential engine was wrapped in a special glass cover to prevent dust from penetrating into the internal precision components and causing blockage.

The difference engine sits quietly in the corner, waiting for its next use.

Then he noticed another person inside the workshop.

A middle-aged engineer sitting in the corner, smoking a cigarette, holding a small gear machine covered in oil and dismantling it with a screwdriver in his hand.

He raised his head and looked at the Night Crow who pushed in the door and raised his eyebrows.

"New here?"

Ji Lin nodded.

He looked at the weapons hanging on the wall. The entire wall was covered with everything from short swords to long spears, shining with a faint silver light in this completely enclosed workshop.

The aura of runes flows under the weapons. All the weapons on this wall are cold weapons that have undergone complete rune strengthening technology. The weapons themselves can even penetrate fifty millimeters of homogeneous steel armor.

But no matter how powerful it is, it cannot make up for the shortcomings of it being a melee weapon, and it is impossible for the sword holder to use this weapon to fight against war structures.

His eyes habitually scanned the spacious equipment workshop, hoping to find the forge used for blacksmithing.

There was no equipment in the equipment workshop for making cold weapons as he thought. There was only a pile of engine oil and a middle-aged engineer sitting on the ground.

He didn't raise his head, but seemed to understand Ji Lin's question and said angrily.

"Steam forging machines can make hundreds of sword embryos for you in one minute, grinders can grind swords sharper than previous ones, and chrome plating technology can make the weapon in your hand sharpen like clay."

But if you want me to forge cold weapons, no.

The middle-aged engineer shrugged. The only person who came here was Night Crow.

"My job is just to help them carve runes on their weapons that meet their needs. If you want any cold weapons, go pick them out on the wall over there."

Their only purpose is to obtain weapons that are more efficient in killing enemies.

"I know you always despise the weapons produced by machines as having no soul, but I can assure you that every weapon on the wall is no worse than a serious craftsman."

These guys who follow the experience of their predecessors especially like to use all kinds of... cold weapons.

And this is also true. Except for explosives, there are no weapons that are useful to them, such as long swords and spears with a penetration depth of 50 millimeters... Coupled with their own abilities, the armor-breaking ability of this weapon will be further improved. .

But cold weapons are outdated after all, and users need to take great risks to use cold weapons.

"Are there any firearms?"

Ji Lin coughed slightly and took a step closer to the difference engine, wanting to get closer to observe this mechanical device that had never been put into practical use in another historical line.

Every part inside is lubricated, and you can see that the managers here respect this differential engine quite a bit.

The engineer stood up and threw the disassembled gear machine aside.

"Yes, what kind of firearms do you need..."

"Automatic weapons, I need automatic weapons that can fire continuously, and the caliber should be as large as possible."

"A 7.62mm repeating rifle, loaded with a magazine, with a capacity of eight rounds."

The engineer got up and walked to another wall, and Ji Lin noticed that the wall was covered with matte infantry firearms, but it was much smaller than the cold armory next to it that occupied an entire wall.

He threw a rifle into Ji Lin's hand, and after catching it, Ji Lin skillfully pulled the gun open to check the loading action.

"You can try the army standard rifle... There is a shooting range outside for you to practice weapons."

He then removed a long metal tube that was slightly slender than his arm from the edge of the wall and stood on the ground like a crutch to support himself.

"Ultra-light mortar, a small 2-inch/50mm thing that can fire quickly... I heard that they all use this thing to fight against those backward rune machines on the continent of Europa. It can fire directly at the target. The direct aim within fifty meters is pretty good.”

Infantry support with anti-armor weaponry as a last resort.

Although they need to be set up, I think you don't need to...

New London is already developing better anti-automatic weapons, but that's all they can give you for now.

The engineer yawned and waved to the new nightcrow.

"As for the ammunition, go to the ammunition depot next door and look for it. There are dedicated people there who will arrange ammunition for you. I don't like to be in the same room with a bunch of flammable and explosive items."

Ji Lin looked at the ultra-light mortar that the engineer stood up like a crutch. It should have a more familiar name, a grenade.

It is indeed a good thing to enhance the firepower of infantry support. With this thing, his infantry does not need to run around carrying a 30mm infantry gun.

"Are there any thermite bombs?"

Ji Lin questioned the engineer in front of him. The armor on the flesh turbine required him to have a weapon that could break armor and generate high heat at the same time.

Armor breaking against steel plates, high temperature against flesh.

And he didn't even need a fuse. It was enough to throw the thermite and then follow it with an improved fireball... The same goes for throwing explosives.

"Thermite? What is that?"

The engineer looked blank, not knowing what the Night Crow meant.

"A reaction that creates extremely high heat in a short period of time to penetrate an object. I need aluminum powder and iron oxide, or other oxidants."

The periodic table appeared in the mid-nineteenth century. Ji Lin thought the other party should be able to understand what he was saying.

"Aluminum powder, iron oxide, what did you do before? I remember that there was a little left when I finished my work before."

The middle-aged engineer walked to the workbench and searched for a while, then threw the two tubular objects in his hand to Ji Lin and looked at him with a little interest.

"What are you going to do?"

Aluminum powder, iron oxide.

Provide a little more high temperature to promote oxidation.

The sudden jet of sparks melted the steel plate used for testing and dropped it to the ground, with the twinkling stars reflected in the engineer's eyes.

He lifted the steel plate before Ji Lin and observed the steel plate that was directly penetrated by the heat of aluminum... The heat of aluminum reaction can produce a temperature of more than 2,000 degrees in a few seconds. In later generations, this effect was generally used for welding in civilian use, and in military use, it was used to penetrate thick armor and cause casualties to personnel.

The temperature of more than 2,000 degrees will act on the target at the moment of contact.

"It's a very interesting phenomenon. I will try to use it on weapons."

The engineer nodded, and his impression of Ji Lin became much better.

Anyone who spends a long time with a group of mentally unstable guys who have devoted their life experience to how to kill the enemy will have a very good impression of normality.

"You can call me Nicholas. It seems that they finally know how to recruit some people from the school. It's really annoying to deal with those guys who don't understand scientific terms."

"Garytown University? I haven't heard of such a university."
