Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 157: The Bingfeng Points

After cutting off radio communication with Huangshi, Chen Jian fell into extremely contradictory doubts.

On the one hand, he couldn't believe that these mercenaries had such high-tech and even sci-fi weapons as "electromagnetic cannons".

But on the other hand, according to Huang Yu's description, this thing might really be some kind of small electromagnetic gun.

The coils of wire, the huge energy batteries, the electronic components that Huang Yu couldn't understand, and the large capacitors that were exposed like small buckets, which he described most clearly.
In addition to the electromagnetic gun, what other weapons can gather all these elements?

Chen Jian frowned and looked at Lei Jie who looked indifferent. He asked:
"Aren't you surprised? The enemy who originally only knew how to use muskets and cannons has now even taken out electromagnetic cannons!"

“I don’t understand this world any more.”

"What's not understandable about this?"

Lei Jie shook his head with amusement:

"Have you forgotten? When we first arrived here, we were wondering if there would be cavalry charging with laser rifles."

"In fact, these so-called high-tech products are not that advanced. Let's not talk about laser guns for now. Are electromagnetic cannons that exaggerated?"

"There are only two core technical difficulties for this thing. One is the large capacitor, and the other is the high temperature and ablation resistant material."

"As long as these two problems are solved, the manufacturing difficulty of an electromagnetic gun will be lower than that of an ordinary smoothbore gun."

"Twenty years have passed between our time and the Cataclysm, and nuclear fusion has matured, which means the problem of the first wall material has been solved."

"If we can solve the problem of the first wall material, then solving the problem of the high temperature resistant material required for the electromagnetic gun shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?"

".What you said makes sense, but I always feel like something is wrong."

Chen Jian sighed helplessly, and Lei Jie comforted him:
"Don't think too much. Haven't we seen enough things beyond our imagination these days?"

"We used to live in a remote corner, too far away from the real core human settlement area."

"From now on, this situation will become the norm."

"really."

Chen Jian didn't continue to worry about it.

Anyway, he had already given an order to Huang Yu, asking him to use the trade route of the Yuanhuan Chamber of Commerce to transport the thing to Jinling first.

Whether it is an electromagnetic gun or not, we will know it when the time comes.

If not, that's fine, but if it is.
This thing might prove to be of miraculous effect in the next battle against the monster in the Jinling ruins.

After all, his team would not be able to get large-caliber rifled cannons in a short period of time. If there was a small electromagnetic cannon to support it, it would be much better than the rocket launchers and automatic grenades in their hands.

Thinking of this, Chen Jian felt a lot more relaxed.

At the same time, Shen Yue, who had just finished a call with the Yuanhuan Chamber of Commerce, also came over.

"I confirmed with the people at the Circle Chamber of Commerce, and they don't have any large-caliber weapons available."

"It's not that I don't give it to you, it's that I really don't have it."

"These technophiles don't understand the significance of weapons. Unlike the Adeptus Mechanicus, they are not that interested in pre-Cataclysm tools of war."

"They just treat artillery and guns as commodities for trading. Only things that look sophisticated, such as missiles, can catch their eye."

"This time, we probably can't count on them."

"It doesn't matter. I guessed it a long time ago."

Chen Jian waved his hand indifferently, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask:
"What about the information about the Fuxi project? Do they have more feedback?"

"No."

Shen Yue replied:
"I hinted to Wang Lizi about nuclear fusion, but judging from his reaction, he was not aware of it."

"I mean, he knew about the existence of nuclear fusion and had a general understanding of what it was, but he failed to connect it with the Fuxi Project as they knew it."

"They are just blindly pursuing something, but at the rate they are going, I'm afraid they will never get any results."

"But one thing is that they have gone further than us."

"They have already sent people to Luzhou, intending to continue the broken clues there."

".We didn't tell him that the next clue was in Luzhou."

Chen Jian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, that's the crux of the matter."

"We didn't tell them the clue was in Luzhou, but they knew the clue was in Luzhou."

"That means their working method is opposite to ours." "We follow a clue and keep expanding, while they keep gathering the divergent clues."

"I feel like we'll meet in Jinling eventually."

"When that happens, it will be time for both of us to have a showdown."

"Whether it's cooperation or confrontation, I'm afraid the outcome will soon be clear."

"clear."

Chen Jian nodded slowly, then asked:
"Is there any other information?"

"Have."

Shen Yue replied:
"The last and most important piece of information."

"Huadu is gathering its troops to march south."

"Their target is also Jinling."

At the same time, inside Jinling City.

Inside the Trinity Temple of the Mechanicus.

The Pope sat on a high throne, with a totem representing the Holy Trinity hanging above his head.

The cold light from the electric lamps illuminated the entire interior of the church, but his face was perfectly hidden in the darkness.

Bishops and priests prostrated themselves at his feet, accepting his blessings with pious expressions.

After a low hymn was sung, these people left the church one by one.

Only one archbishop, dressed in black, remained.

He walked slowly up the steps and came in front of the Pope.

Then, he spoke:
"According to reliable information, Huadu has gathered more than 2,000 troops and is heading south, with the goal being the Jinling ruins."

"They want to snatch the Jinling ruins from us. A conflict may be inevitable."

"We have to make a decision quickly."

"Whether we launch a crusade against Huadu based on the crimes we discovered in the Anqing Ruins, or rush into the ruins before them, the two strategies will lead to completely different results."

"We need your decision."

After he finished speaking, the Pope slowly stood up.

Then, he spoke:
"The people of Huadu still cling to their heavenly knowledge."

"Why don't they understand that the profound knowledge before the Cataclysm is meaningless to us?"

"Even if they can enter the Jinling ruins, defeat the monster, and even find the so-called buried treasure, what good will it do them?"

“No one can truly control the so-called ‘genes’. Knowledge that cannot be put into practice is nothing but useless empty talk.”

"Compared to them, the newly emerged 'Huaxia Army' is more sober."

"They are pursuing pure power just like us."

"And only power can revive this dying world."

Having said that, the Pope let out a long breath.

Then, he spoke:
"We don't have any more options."

"The Jinling ruins cannot fall into their hands."
