Chapter 83 Advanced Engineering Device
Chapter 83 Advanced Engineering Device
In the woods near the gunpowder depot, more than half of the trees had been cut down, leaving only a large number of thick stumps, which opened up the field of vision and made it extremely difficult for outsiders to approach. However, with the camouflage provided by the color-changing suits, Porcupine and Tommy successfully entered the gunpowder depot.
Along the way, Porcupine dismantled more than a dozen warning devices, making the person who came later much faster.
Jiang He bypassed the machine gun positions stationed outside, followed the subtle marks left by the two team members, and entered the gunpowder depot through a simple tunnel. Tommy, who was a tunnel soldier, was very professional in digging holes.
Inside an iron door, there is a spacious corridor that connects the front and back. This place seems to have been converted from a cowshed. The piled up sandbags divide the area into ten areas on the left and right. In order to prevent moisture, the surrounding walls are also covered with sandbags, making it difficult for sound to be transmitted.
Four Prussian recruits on duty inside fell to the ground and died, while Porcupine was sitting cross-legged on the ground assembling a bomb with one hand.
Tommy squatted beside the sandbags, busying himself with winding bundles of wire together front and back.
"How many shells are there?"
Tommy was startled and almost jumped up. He turned his head and saw someone. He came to his senses and said, "Eight thousand. Most of them are field artillery shells. The number of grenades and bullets cannot be counted."
Porcupine continued, "Originally there should have been 20,000. According to the list registered at the door, most of them were taken by a passing artillery regiment. Calculating the date, it should be the unit that bombarded us at the train station."
Jiang He asked directly: "How much can I take without affecting the operation?"
Tommy knew that the enemy had a habit of "eating shells", which was the case at position 144.
Porcupine was somewhat surprised by this question and said, "About 2,000. Many of the ones left by the artillery regiment have misfires or moisture problems. At least three-quarters must be kept to ensure their power."
Jiang He nodded, turned and walked into the storage area next to him.
The porcupine glanced at Tommy, who shook his head.
"Don't ask meaningless questions."
……
Shell storage area.
Wuhe used his new trumpet crow to report: "There is nothing unusual outside the gunpowder depot. The Grey Knight has killed the Viper Knight who was in charge of guarding the camp. He has now returned to the mountain and is silently hugging the skeleton."
Jiang He was stunned for a moment. What a mysterious situation.
He thought that the Grey Knight might encounter an accident during the assassination, and also thought that the gunpowder depot was simply a trap, so he firmly rejected the other party's initial plan at the beginning. Now he came here halfway, but the result that the Grey Knight pretended to be dead while holding the skeleton was completely beyond his expectations.
Wuhe saw someone's doubt and said helplessly: "I don't know either."
Jiang He walked to the stacked shell boxes, took out everything in the item bag, then stuffed a small or medium-sized shell into it and detonated it. He then put in a chaos explosion engineer in the shape of a ring. After a few seconds, a black gem fell into his palm.
He opened the ammunition boxes one by one, moving between two storage areas. The number of black gems continued to increase. After an hour, 755 chaos bombs were completed.
[Tip: The quality of your exclusive props is improved]
[Name: Chaos Explosion Engineer]
[Category: Production]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect ①: Absorb shock waves and heat radiation to create chaos bombs]
[Effect 90: Chaos bomb is of excellent quality, with a strong effect range of 45 meters, causing % additional damage to flesh and blood creatures and spirits]
[Effect ③: When used multiple times, each bomb causes an additional 35 points of true damage]
[Effect ④: When the cumulative number of chaos bombs reaches a certain level, the item will be upgraded (0/100000)]
[Note: S-level rating blessing/I am explosive! ]
Jiang He stuffed a 155mm howitzer into his bag. Half a minute later, the high-quality chaos bomb that was produced still looked like a black gem, but it emitted a faint light all over and was the size of an egg.
Compared to the 155mm howitzer, the new black light gem is slightly inferior in destructive power, but it is more targeted at flesh and blood life and spiritual bodies. It also has extremely rare true damage, and its basic damage is much higher than that of the rare black gem.
"Oh my god." Wu He was shocked when he saw the bomb information shared with him. "I have never heard of advanced explosive consumables. Don't you think this engineering device is outrageous?"
Jiang He calmly commented, "It's far from the previous scene of the British army firing a salvo, and after all, it's not our own strength. It's like carrying a special attack turret with us."
Wuhe complained, "But the enemies still die anyway. The most important thing is that derivative missions and world missions restrict hot weapons, but there are no requirements for props."
"In ancient times?"
"Jurassic is fine." Jiang He was a little surprised. When he was doing the first ancient copy, the chaos explosion engineer had not yet been invented. If it was as Wuhe said, then the importance of the chaos bomb could be mentioned further.
After a short break, production continued.
At last count, there were 860 rare-grade black gems and 73 fine-grade black light gems.
The latter took significantly longer to produce.
Jiang He put all the gems into an ammunition box, and then stuffed them back into the item bag along with the other items. This batch of consumables would be enough for him to use for a long time.
"Rhine, it's almost five o'clock." Tommy ran over and shouted.
"Got it, come and help first."
The two men gathered the ammunition boxes one by one, then quickly left the storage area, reunited with the porcupine and returned through the burrow, dealing with the traces of the four bodies in the process.
……
Five o'clock in the morning.
Commander Lieutenant Colonel Mia ordered all recruits to transfer the ammunition in the powder magazine and assemble within a quarter of an hour, and by the way, complete this month's military parade rehearsal ahead of schedule.
In response to the staff's questions, Mia did not give any detailed explanation, but simply answered with the general word "intuition".
At 5:15, most of the new recruits in the camp were lined up. Thousands of people were bustling around, and the twenty columns around the ammunition depot stretched out for several miles.
The major in charge of internal inspections rode past the queue on horseback, with increasing confusion on his face. As the intensity of the war continued to rise, the officers did gain greater command power, but if this kind of decision was not a non-combat order, he would definitely ask for the cause and effect.
Passing by the ground where the staff officers were gathered, the major reined in his horse and asked unhappily, "Why hasn't the lieutenant colonel arrived yet?"
Several staff officers looked at each other, and the leader's expression gradually changed.
"She said she was going to look for you!"
"What a joke!"
At the same time, on a small hill two kilometers away from the camp.
Five people lay in a row. Jiang He used a monocular telescope to observe the gunpowder depot. The Prussian recruits had not yet assembled, but some officers had already noticed something was wrong.
"That's enough. Being greedy will only backfire."
Upon hearing this, the Grey Knight released lightning, which flowed rapidly along the wire in his hand, passing over fences, positions, barns and other buildings, and penetrated into the gunpowder depot, detonating the special bomb made by Porcupine.
All five of them stared intently.
In the silent night, orange-red flames shot up into the sky, and the top spread rapidly, like a giant mushroom made of energy. Then a white "tsunami" visible to the naked eye swept wildly around with the gunpowder depot as the origin, covering up the flames produced by the explosion in the blink of an eye. After the circular wave overflowed, the expanding shock wave tore through everything around it, engulfing the entire camp and completely annihilating the area within a radius of several miles.
The ground shook violently, and Tommy, who had the weakest constitution, vomited blood immediately. Jiang He took out a few vitality potions and handed them to him. His shouts were drowned out by the rumbling thunder that resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The loud sound of the explosion lasted for a full half minute.
It was as if a real impact wave swept over the hillside, making the five people feel as if they were at the bottom of the sea.
