Several soldiers, as if relieved, quickly lifted the stretcher and ran deep into the camp.
Novak stood there, looking through the gate into the wilderness in the distance.
Why do I have a bad feeling? I always feel that this expedition will fail... No, it's impossible.
He shook his head, turned around, walked to a tent, lifted the curtain and went in.
The tent was very empty, with only a long table in the middle. Sniper rifle parts were scattered on the table, and more than a dozen craftsmen were gathered around the table, discussing something.
The origin of the table sniper rifle is not complicated.
The two sides were entangled on the edge of the plain area. Although Zhang Mu's soldiers gained a lot, losses were inevitable. Naturally, the coalition forces also seized some sniper rifles.
Zhang Mu was not worried that the coalition forces would dismantle the sniper rifle and then reverse engineer its manufacturing method.
This thing is not something you can understand by just taking it apart, or in other words, even if you understand it, you can't make it.
Among the hundreds of countries on the blue planet, only a few have the ability to manufacture high-precision sniper rifles.
For the rest, it is useless to show him the blueprints or send a technician to explain them.
Because the craftsmanship was not up to standard, the precision was not up to standard. Besides, the people of Sol Continent probably couldn't understand what "seamless steel pipe" and "rifling" meant.
This is true.
When Novak saw the sniper rifle brought back by the soldier, he was overjoyed and called in master craftsmen from the rear to try to study the principles of the sniper rifle and replicate it.
The result is regrettable.
More than a dozen top craftsmen spent several days tinkering with the sniper rifle but not only did they get nothing out of it, they were even afraid to disassemble it for fear of damaging the few trophies.
In the end, it was only after Novak ordered that they would not be punished if they destroyed the structure that they mustered up the courage to start.
After dismantling two guns, they finally understood the basic assembly structure and successfully disassembled a sniper rifle, which was a pile of parts on the table.
Seeing that things were finally progressing, Novak relaxed his frown and walked towards the long table: "Everyone, this bow and arrow..."
"Marshal, you've arrived just in time." The craftsman, who was absorbed in his research, only noticed his arrival when he heard the voice. He grabbed a black round tube and ran over to him. "It's so exquisite!"
"What?" Novak looked confused.
"This!" The craftsman spread out his five fingers and showed the round pipe in his hand. "You know, we thought it was just an ordinary iron pipe at first..."
Novak studied the tube, not seeing anything mysterious: "Isn't it?"
"of course not!"
The craftsman was so dissatisfied with his ignorance that he didn't even bother to address him with a respectful title: "Touch it!"
Novak was the Allied Marshal, and no one should dare to offend him, but these craftsmen were the treasures of various countries, so he did not dare to reprimand them and had to reach out and touch the round tube obediently.
Originally he didn't care, thinking that since he didn't sense any magical fluctuations, what could be special about it?
However, as soon as he put his hand on it, he immediately noticed something unusual.
"It..." Novak stared at the round tube, "It's smoother than a woman's thigh."
The craftsman's face darkened and he slapped his hand away: "You are blaspheming the art of forging!"
Novak came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and brought the topic back on track: "You go ahead, you go ahead."
After all, business was more important, and the craftsman didn’t bother to argue with him: “The smoothness means it is very resistant to high temperatures.
Didn't you say that the arrows shot from this bow are hot to the touch, so why don't the bow break?
This is why.”
Novak scratched his head: "Can we build it?"
"I'm sorry, but we don't have that technology at the moment."
"You are all master craftsmen from various countries, and it's not possible?"
"No." More than a dozen craftsmen shook their heads together. The craftsman holding the round tube hesitated and said, "I doubt whether it can be forged by humans.
How to explain it... it doesn't look like a product of human craftsmanship."
Novak's mood, which had just improved, was instantly shrouded in gloom again.
This was not the first time he had heard this in recent days.
Not long ago, a magician of the coalition forces discovered a strange monster flying in the sky while patrolling around the camp.
He looked at it for a long time, and after making sure that the strange monster with four wings posed no threat, he grabbed it.
However, after turning it over and over in his hands for a while, he still couldn't figure out what kind of monster it was. The only thing he understood was that this thing didn't seem to be alive.
Because I can't feel the breath of life.
When he brought it back to the camp, Novak was unable to recognize its origin. He showed it to the church clergy accompanying the army, but the result was the same.
Finally, Novak attacked violently and smashed the monster directly.
Accompanied by a burst of smoke and flying debris, they realized that they were Lake's things.
Only Lake now can master this incomprehensible thing.
There are also "small cubes" taken off the ears after killing Lake soldiers.
The coalition professionals have seen Lake soldiers talking to the small cube more than once, and guessed that it might be a magic prop similar to the sound transmission crystal.
But when I took it in my hand, there was not even the slightest fluctuation of magic power.
Imitating the Lake soldier wearing it on his ears, he also couldn't hear any sound.
A lot of unknowns kept coming one after another, and Novak was already extremely irritable. Now that he learned that he couldn't copy the opponent's weapons, he felt like he was about to explode.
He needs an outlet.
Unfortunately, the craftsmen in front of us are not suitable candidates.
But he had to release the depression that filled his body, so Novak walked away with a sullen face, planning to find an empty corner and cast two spells to vent his emotions.
The craftsmen didn't care about his departure and returned to their tables to continue their research.
A craftsman picked up the spring, pinched the two ends with his fingers and flattened them to the limit, then let go.
Watching the spring return to normal, he muttered, "Strange... It's obviously made of iron, why is it elastic?"
Without waiting for his companions to start discussing, he turned around and walked out of the tent. Half an hour later, he returned with two identical springs in his hands.
Everyone was a little surprised: "Can it be imitated?"
"I can only imitate the appearance, but not the performance..." The craftsman shook his head in disappointment, squeezing a spring in each hand and letting it go, "Look."
There are two springs, one returns to its original state, and the other only rebounds halfway.
"Is it a material problem?" The craftsmen gathered around and speculated.
"I don't know."
"Hey!" A craftsman shouted to them from behind the table.
"What's wrong?" Everyone hurried over.
"Look!" He pointed at the pile of extra parts on the table, "I took apart another bow and arrow, and then compared the parts of each part of the two bows together, and found that they are exactly the same!
OMG!
Not only the appearance, but even the weight is exactly the same!"
Everyone looked shocked and grabbed two parts with the same location to test them.
"real!"
"How did you do it?!"
"What about the others? Are they the same?!"
"Quick, tear it down!"
Everyone rolled up their sleeves and quickly disassembled the remaining sniper rifles, then compared the parts.
"All...all..." After trying one by one, everyone opened their mouths and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
They are all top craftsmen from various countries. To be honest, it is not difficult to simply copy a part with a similar appearance.
For example, the craftsman who made a spring in half an hour.
Unfortunately, similarity is just similarity, not identicalness. These are two different concepts.
Just like a spring imitated by a craftsman, on the surface, it looks basically the same as the original, but if you compare them carefully, you can see that there are obvious differences in the details.
As for weight, it is even more difficult to get the same.
They had forged weapons of the same style, and they still looked exactly the same.
A craftsman grabbed a magazine in each hand. "If that's the case, it means... their bows are damaged. They don't need to get a new one. They can just replace the broken parts."
The craftsman next to him nodded: "That's right.
And they must be familiar with their weapons and know where they are most likely to break.
This way they can prepare a stock of vulnerable parts when they go into battle, and if they break, they can replace them directly on the battlefield without having to retreat to the rear to get new weapons."
As everyone was talking, they couldn't help feeling heavy in their hearts.
The biggest advantage the coalition has over Bilake is the large number of high-level professionals.
Although this type of bow and arrow cannot threaten high-level professionals, the war is just entering its early stages and no one would be stupid enough to reveal their biggest trump card right at the beginning.
Lake, there must be more powerful weapons of the same kind.
As they thought about it, they began to feel a palpitation in their hearts.
You know, this kind of weapon... can be used by ordinary people!
If Lake is fully equipped, the role of the professional...
Thinking further, if this kind of weapon becomes popular, most kingdoms in the Sol Continent will use it...
no, I can not!
They felt a chill on their backs, and they quickly stopped thinking and looked up at each other.
"Haha, there are gods in the Thor Continent, and professionals are all believers favored by the gods, so they won't..."
"Yes, professionals are the rulers of the Sol Continent."
