2507 Scarce material (1)

Tang Zhen’s drawing had many weapons and equipment on it. The most powerful weapon was naturally the cannon.

This kind of weapon was once used on a large scale in the war in his original world and also existed in other planes. It was naturally Tang Zhen’s first choice.

Although it looked ordinary, its power was considerable. It was definitely the most suitable weapon to defend the Heaven’s Wall city.

With the church of the alarm Bell’s ability, it was entirely possible to produce cannons, but due to the limitations of the materials, it was likely that it could not be mass-produced.

This was because every cannon required a large amount of metal. However, in this world with low productivity, metal was often the most precious strategic material.

Even if the Heaven’s Wall city had a special situation and had accumulated a large number of metal ores from years of mining, it still could not support this consumption.

As expected, the problem of the materials made everyone feel troubled.

If they couldn’t deal with the monster, the cooperation plan would become a joke. They wouldn’t be able to stop the monster’s attack.

if we go all out, we should be able to gather enough materials for 10 cannons. But if we use it in war, 10 cannons won’t be of much use.

If we don’t have enough weapons, their power will be greatly reduced. It’s better to melt metal and make arrows, which may kill more enemies.”

After some discussion, the person in charge of the manufacturing base concluded in a serious tone. From his performance, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about this plan.

Although he was shocked by the might of the cannon described by Tang Zhen, the person in charge was very hesitant because it would consume a large amount of materials.

If he couldn’t achieve the desired effect after giving it his all, it would be a disaster!

The other believers were silent. Before they saw the power of the weapon on the blueprint, they would not easily express their opinions.

“How about this, Sir? we can make weapons according to the drawings and send people to collect the required materials.

Although the amount of metal required was huge, he should be able to find a large amount of metal in some ancient ruins.

We’ll only need to transport the metal back then, and we’ll be able to mass-produce weapons. What do you think of that?”

Tang Zhen looked at the bone when he heard this and asked what was going on.

“There are some ancient ruins near the Heaven’s Wall city, some of which belong to the mechanical civilization. They are good at making giant mechanical devices, even in the tomb.

according to the information we have, there is a mausoleum of the mechanical civilization nearby, and it is connected to the underground tunnel.

As for the reason for the connection, it’s very likely that the ancient demonic insect mistakenly entered the mausoleum, so it left behind a secret passage.”

Tang Zhen nodded his head and asked the bone,”Since you knew about the existence of the tomb, why didn’t you go and collect the metal materials before? why did you wait until now to make a move?”

Considering that the cost and reward were not proportional, the church of the alarm bell had no choice but to give up their exploration operation. At the same time, they blocked the passage to ensure that no one else would discover it.

“What caused you to suffer such heavy casualties? is it a trap in the tomb, or is it some monster?”

Tang Zhen was suddenly very interested in the tomb of the mechanical civilization. If there were monsters there, it would be the best place to level up.

“There are mechanical puppets. They are the tomb’s guards. There are also all kinds of monsters, all of them extremely ferocious.

Other than that, there are also spirits and evil ghosts. Those are the most terrifying things, and they can take people’s lives without a sound.”

When the bone said this, a trace of fear appeared on his face. Perhaps he had also participated in the exploration in the past, but he had almost died.

After listening to the introduction of the bone, Tang Zhen had already made up his mind. He must go to the tomb and take a look.

“If it’s possible, please send someone to clean up the passage. After the matter here is over, I will personally make a trip to the mausoleum.”

alright, if you insist, I can send people to clean up the passage.

That bone didn’t try to stop him. If Tang Zhen could complete the clean-up, it would be a good thing for the alarm bell Church.

At the same time, he could also observe Tang Zhen and understand his true strength. This was also one of the tasks that li te had arranged.

“Alright, I’ll have to ask everyone to cooperate and produce the sample as soon as possible.

This matter concerns the life and death of the entire world. We must ensure that we succeed, or else what awaits us is destruction!”

The bone seemed very excited. He kept waving his arms and emphasized the importance of this matter.

The believers were also infected by the atmosphere, and they recited the oath loudly, making the atmosphere very serious.

After the meeting ended, Tang Zhen started to work with the believers to forge the weapons and equipment on the drawings.

Because of the existence of cultivators, many things became much simpler. For example, the production of gun barrels and the molding of certain parts could be completed with the assistance of cultivators.

Tang Zhen was anxious to let these natives see the power of the weapon, so he participated in the entire process. In less than half an hour, a rifle appeared in front of everyone.

This rifle should actually be called a mother-son gun. The bullets were made separately with runes engraved on them, and they were manually locked after being inserted into the chamber.

After the trigger was pulled, the runic magic circle was activated, and the head of the bullet was pushed out of the barrel and shot at the target.

After that, he could take out the empty shell, load new bullets, and continue to shoot.

The shells couldn’t be thrown around because they could be reassembled. It didn’t require too complicated a process, and each soldier could complete it independently.

“Sir Tang Zhen, is this the gun you were talking about?”

A group of alarm bell church’s believers surrounded Tang Zhen with curious expressions. They really couldn’t understand what was the use of this black iron pipe.

In fact, in their opinion, firearms were far less convenient than bows and arrows. A qualified Archer could shoot many arrows in a short time.

In comparison, the flintlock, which had a complicated manufacturing process and a slower loading speed, did not have much advantage.

Tang Zhen had naturally seen through the thoughts of his believers, but he did not explain much. He only needed to let them see the results of the actual operation.

Very quickly, someone had prepared the target. They covered it with a thick animal skin over a sack and placed it against the wall.

When they saw that they were going to conduct an experiment, a large group of believers gathered around. They also wanted to see the power of the weapon that Tang Zhen had created.

However, from their expressions, it was clear that they did not think highly of the power of the gun and thought that it was just a modified version of the strange crossbow.

Although it looked much lighter, the power should be about the same.

In the midst of their whispered discussion, Tang Zhen suddenly raised the rifle in his hand and then completed the locking, aiming, and firing actions at a dazzling speed.

“BOOM!”

A muffled sound was heard, and the surrounding believers were shocked. Some even cried out in alarm.

The scene was extremely chaotic. Some people even subconsciously took out their weapons and looked at Tang Zhen angrily.

They had never thought that the pipe would make such a loud noise, almost like thunder.

Was such a loud noise just to scare and intimidate the enemy?

If that was the case, it should be considered a great success, because they were indeed frightened.

Just as the audience was marveling at the loud gunshot, someone noticed that a hole had been shot through the target used for the experiment.

since it can pierce through the hide, it proves that its power is not bad. It should be effective against monsters.

Bone nodded. He was also shocked by the sound of the gunshot. Now that he saw the shooting effect, he felt that the gun had its merits.

However, if that was the case, then the gun could only be said to be dispensable. After all, ordinary bows and arrows could also do this.

However, when the inspector walked up and took off the animal skin, he was stunned.

Because he found that not only the animal skin was pierced through, even the sack behind it was also pierced through, and then left a deep bullet mark on the stone wall!
