Your war hammer is too fake

Bing Ruolan didn't know how she had survived these two months. Just a few days ago, the dazed Shugenqing walked to the attic of the hotel, opened the window, and began to chant the Dragon Star Spell in the direction of the Bokaha Palace... Fortunately, her subordinates stopped her in time and did not let Lady Kisli find out about it.

"So," An Jiyue looked at Bing Ruolan, who avoided her gaze guiltily, "in the name of the Heavenly Court, you promise to provide enough food for the citizens of Kislev to eat for half a year?"

"There are also Praag and Erengrad, but these two cities only need three months of food..." Under the governor's rather subtle gaze, Xiuyan Qing's voice became lower and lower, and finally fell silent completely.

"Okay, I got it," An Jiyue patted the shoulder of the unlucky kid who couldn't hide the dark circles under his eyes even with the masking helmet that Xiugenqing usually wore. "I'll take over the rest. Relax, I'll take care of it."

After comforting Bing Ruolan, who looked like she might cry at any moment, An Jiyue turned her gaze to Boris, who had a sour face. The Red Tsar strode towards her, and the two sword guards who were originally standing behind the girl immediately stepped forward and protected their own Jiedushi behind them. The Red Tsar still rushed forward regardless, but the two sword guards stood there motionless.

The Tsar's guards following behind the Tsar drew their weapons in unison and tried to move forward with unfriendly expressions, while the swordsmen on the opposite side also drew their weapons in unison upon seeing this.

"Hmm?" Boris stumbled back a few steps and raised his hand to signal the Tsar's guards to put away their weapons. He looked at the two swordsmen blocking him with interest: "Not bad, they are all top fighters!"

"Let's stop talking nonsense here, Boris Bokaha," An Jiyue said in very standard Gospada (Note 1), "The Celestial Empire has plenty of food and gold, and we don't mind using money to solve problems when necessary. But are you worthy? Lady Kislev, the Celestial Empire only gives things to warriors. Are you warriors?"

"Don't try to provoke me," Boris grinned, "When Kislevites were guarding the northern border of the Old World, you were just hiding behind that wall, but you really thought you were so brave."

"You will get the food promised by the Heavenly Court," An Jiyue couldn't help but glared at Bing Ruolan who was standing beside her while saying this. "As for organizing a coalition expedition to the Arctic, forget it. We will carry out this operation independently. The Zhendan people will be responsible for rescuing the gods of Lady Kislev. As for Lady Kislev? Just don't cause trouble for the Zhendan people."

"Ha! You don't look like a warrior, so I allow you to appoint an individual champion as your representative." Boris' beard trembled with anger, and violent anger burned in the pupils of the Red Tsar. "I challenge you to a duel! You have humiliated all Kislevites. Such a shame can only be washed away with blood!"

Believe it or not, with just one letter from me, I can choose any warrior from the entire Mountain Kingdom, even Agrim... An Jiyue thought so in her heart, and signaled all the swordsmen to retreat: "I am indeed not a warrior, but I don't need any champion to duel on my behalf. I accept your duel. Let me see if the God-chosen Champion of Ersun is worthy of the name of a warrior!"

Boris roared, holding the Ice Sword in both hands and rushed forward, his eyes showing no mercy for a "weak woman". As soon as he took the first step, he suddenly floated up uncontrollably. The Red Tsar's limbs were waving in the air in vain, and the blade of the Ice Sword was slashing in the air, leaving a series of cold tracks.

"Do you admit defeat?" An Jiuyue asked.

"Never!" roared the upside-down Red Tsar.

"Please stop, beautiful sister." Just as An Jiyue was thinking about whether to use the windmill or Hulk to knock down Loki, a gorgeously dressed black-haired loli pushed aside the Tsar's guards in front of her and rushed into the duel scene. She first looked at Boris with a helpless and headache expression, and then said to An Jiyue: "My father has already admitted defeat, please don't hurt him."

"I didn't!" Boris protested loudly while floating in the air.

"Father, I know where you usually hide the wine," the black-haired loli glanced at her father, "I think if we throw them all into the fireplace..."

"...I give up. Okay, put me down!"

……

Note 1: Kislev is the name of a country, not an ethnic group. The Russians in Warhammer are actually called "Gospada", which is translated as "Gespoda" in Hammer III. Just like the Russians in reality, although Kislev is not a big country, there are also a lot of messy ethnic groups in the country. Of course, the only ones who have a sense of existence are the Gospada and the Ugol (Warhammer Tatars), and the Kislev army is basically composed of these two ethnic groups.

Chapter 112 Negotiation (Part 1)

An hour later, Bokaha Palace.

This palace, located in the very center of the city, was built two hundred years ago, when the former Everchosen Asava Kul invaded the Old World, Praag fell, and Kislev City stood firm under the crazy attack of the Chaos Servant, successfully persisting until the arrival of reinforcements led by Magnus the Pious. Although Kislev City did not fall under the tenacious defense of the Kislevites, the city itself was still severely damaged, and the Gospada Palace, which was originally the Tsar's palace, was almost reduced to ruins.

On the ruins of the Gospada Palace, the Kislevites built the Bokaha Palace as a new royal palace. As the power center of the Ice and Snow Court, this magnificent palace in the style of ancient Russia had not yet been transformed into the later Ice Palace - that was what Katalin did deliberately to show her power after she succeeded to the throne as the female tsar.

In terms of performance, An Jiyue felt that Katarin was much better than the Empire's Chief Mage Metalface. When a certain green-skinned Dr. Wow invaded Kislev in the future, Katarin cast a spell to summon an unprecedented blizzard, forcing Grimgor Ironhide, who was unable to move forward, to turn around and return without any effort. Before ET, Bayershazer Gelt had never had such an exaggerated performance. At most, he used the ultimate alchemy to turn tens of thousands of beastmen into golden statues.

At the moment, Katarin Bokaha was not yet the most powerful ice witch in the world. In fact, after entering the living room, the nine-year-old girl ignored the seat prepared for her by the servants, and got into An Jiuyue's arms quite naturally and even as a matter of course, which made Boris, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

"Katalin," Loli's father said to his precious daughter in a tone so gentle that An Jiyue's skin was covered with goose bumps, "If you want a hug, Daddy is also completely..."

"No." Loli's voice was very clear. She arched in An Jiyue's arms, and her little head pushed the slime on An Jiyue's chest and made it jump randomly. Boris was staring at such a beautiful scene in the world, and after noticing this, Loli pouted, stretched out her right hand and pointed at her father, and uttered a short syllable.

A loose ball of snow appeared out of nowhere and hit the Red Tsar's forehead. The sudden low temperature made the Red Tsar shudder all over, and his body subconsciously jumped up from his position.

"Oh, you little naughty boy," Boris slapped the snowflakes off his forehead, "don't do that again next time!"

"Although I don't mind appreciating the harmonious family relationships of the Kislev royal family," An Jiyue finally spoke, "but can we get down to business? If there's nothing wrong with my memory, this should be a diplomatic meeting."

"Of course, the witch lord who came all the way from faraway Zhendan, of course." Boris took a glass of kvass from the servant and drank it all in one gulp, then burped with satisfaction. "Hurp~ Where do you want to start? Your colleagues told me that you are the main person in charge of the Dragon God Empire in the Old World. Here, your opinion is the opinion of the Heavenly Court."

This is a lie. Of course, if you look at it from another perspective, it can also be true.

Touching Katarin's little head, An Jiyue could feel that the loli in her arms had a significantly lower body temperature. This was a side effect of using ice magic. Ice witches had a lower body temperature than normal people, and their personalities were usually more cold and ruthless. However, compared with the magic of the Ugor people, this side effect of ice magic was nothing at all.

Although the magic of Wuguer witches is unique, the price is that it will cause the user to age rapidly. Many Wuguer witches look to be in their seventies or eighties, but their actual age may not even be thirty.

"This is not a public place, so I'll just say this directly," the governor said while petting the little girl. "Although I have warned Bing Ruolan before, it seems that she is really not used to Mrs. Kislev's rogue-style negotiations, so she agreed to the condition of providing food aid. Shut up, Boris, listen to me, and don't force me to beat you in front of your daughter. Listen carefully, you will get the food, and one of my... um, allies has already rushed to my territory to allocate food."

The ally was naturally Dustan Falcon. Bing Ruolan had promised to give Lady Kislev 50,000 tons of food. The transportation of so much food naturally required a reliable person to oversee it. An Jiyue immediately thought of Master Asur, after all, this guy had done a good job when he helped supervise the construction of the four-story altar.

Food itself was not a problem. After recruiting 20,000 troops at one time, in order to solve the sudden increase in food supply pressure, An Jiyue spent 50,000 points and drew 100 times in the material pool. It was hard to say whether the result of the draw should be considered lucky or not. If it was lucky, all the 100 draws were basic materials such as food, iron ingots, lead ingots, medicinal materials, cloth, and black gunpowder. It was outrageous that there was no high-value material...

But in terms of good and bad, these 50,000 points allowed An Jiyue to obtain nearly one million tons of grain, plus a large number of other types of supplies, filling up all the official warehouses in the inner city of Xuanshui. Until now, some of the supplies can only be stored in the open air.

The food that Kislev asked for was not worth mentioning to An Jiyue. The biggest problem was how to transport the food to Kislev. On the way from the dock area of ​​Kislev City to Bokaha Palace, An Jiyue found Dustan in the chat group, who was almost overwhelmed by the piles of government affairs recently, and asked him to ride his arcane phoenix to Xuanshui as soon as possible. There, the food was already being organized to be shipped out of the warehouse, and the food transport team would set off on time tomorrow morning.

Due to the large quantity and the limited logistical support capacity of Sanhe Prefecture, the 20,000 Anxi troops deployed along the Blood River must be given priority, and the 50,000 tons of food can only be transported in batches. An Jiyue's plan is that Dustan will lead the team to escort the food to Aveland, and then hire inland ships there to deliver the food to Kislev City by water along the route that Bing Ruolan had taken before.

The grain transport team only transported 5,000 tons of grain each time, and completed the transportation task in ten times. Considering that a large number of merchant ships needed to be hired, and the grain transport team itself also needed military escort, Dustan had to try to meet with the Elector of Iverland, the famous Mad Count Marius Redolf, to obtain a certain degree of support from him. Considering that Dustan himself had no talent for diplomacy, the governor suggested that a high elf noble be sent with a wizard to handle the matter, as they were particularly good at this.

"If everything goes well, the first batch of food will arrive in this city in 40 days," the girl said, leaving some room for time. "You'd better pray to your god, asking him to protect this batch of food and make sure nothing unexpected happens on the way. Oh, your god has been captured, there's nothing we can do about that. Otherwise, why don't you try praying to the White Wolf God?"

When Boris Bokaha was crowned, the religious situation in Kislev was in chaos, especially the continued decline of the belief in Ersun. More and more Kislevites converted to the White Wolf God Yurik. In order to change this situation, Boris, a devout believer of the Bear God, decided to debut as... (crossed out) determined to revive the belief in Ersun. To this end, he did many things, the most important of which was to establish the Great Orthodox Church and standardize the belief system and religious rituals of the Kislevites.

"Damn it!" Not surprisingly, Boris was furious: "Duel! We must duel!"

"I accept your..." An Jiyue was about to agree so that she could beat this guy up with a legitimate reason, but Katarin suddenly jumped out of her arms, ran to Boris and kicked her father hard in the knee.

A kick from a nine-year-old girl was no big deal to a tough guy like Boris who could wrestle with the Chaos Champion. However, the Red Tsar still suffered a heavy blow on the spiritual level. He lowered his head to look at his little girl, while Katarin raised her head, put her hands on her hips and glared back.

"Well, well!" Boris raised his hands and saluted in a Bretonnian military salute. He sat back in his seat and muttered, "You shouldn't insult other people's beliefs, because it also insults your own beliefs."

"I am from Zhendan," An Jiyue shrugged nonchalantly, "We don't believe in gods, we only worship our ancestors."

Boris was choked by these words and was speechless.

Chapter 113 Negotiation (Part 2)

An Jiyue is not as easy to talk to as Bing Ruolan.

"I want Devingard," she said to the Red Tsar. "This is not a request, but a notice. If my request is not met, the second batch and subsequent batches of food will have to be 'delayed'."

"Girl," Boris stared at An Jiyue with a bad expression, "No one, no one ever, can get even an inch of land from Mrs. Kislev by any means other than war."

"Then I can wait until you all starve to death, and then send someone to take over Devingard," the Jiedushi waved his hand nonchalantly, his tone mocking, "That place is useful to the Heavenly Court, but that doesn't mean you can use it to control the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court needs a base near the Chaos Wasteland, and Devingard is the most suitable, but it is not our only choice."

An Jiyue was not bluffing, because there was indeed a more stable place to stay, that is Doomburg, a small dwarf fortress next to the Arctic wasteland. Compared with the simple outpost with log walls in Kislev, the defense of the dwarf fortress was naturally more trustworthy, and the various facilities of the latter were definitely more complete.

The reason why the girl proposed to take Devingard was mainly because she felt that the defense pressure should not be particularly exaggerated in a place where even Lady Kissili could occupy it... Fort Doom was a little too deep in the Chaos Wasteland. Unless the Lonely City on the other side of the mountain pass could be recovered and rebuilt, it would be difficult to defend such an isolated stronghold surrounded by enemies on all sides. More importantly, the anchor point could not be taken anywhere. It could only be deployed in places with an order degree higher than 25%, and Fort Doom might not meet the requirements.

As an enclave of the Kingdom of Kislev in the northern section of the Mountains of Mourning, crops can be grown normally around Devingard, which means that the Chaos corruption in this area is at most the same level as that in the southern part of the Norse Peninsula. It is still habitable, but the conditions are a little bit worse.

As long as he can keep this place in his hands, An Jiuyue will have a stable source of points in the future.

"I will not accept your threat, witch." Boris's face showed no hesitation or wavering. "If the Heavenly Court wants Lady Kislev's land, then you must pay a suitable price for it. I think..."

"The Heavenly Court wants to gain a stable foothold in the Old World near the Arctic wasteland," An Jiyue interrupted Boris. "As for where exactly it is and how I got this place, the Heavenly Court doesn't care. If necessary, using force to achieve the goal is acceptable."

"Don't even think about it!" Compared to before, Boris' tone this time was not so aggressive: "Even the power of darkness cannot make the people of Kislev surrender. Are the dragon gods more terrifying than the gods of darkness? If the Heavenly Court chooses war, then come. The city of Kislev is right here, come and take it if you want it!"

An Jiyue had a headache. In reality, the Russians were extremely abstract creatures. If you wanted something from them and were willing to pay a certain price, they would assume that you were asking for something from them, and then they would ask for a ridiculous price that was very challenging to the imagination... Obviously, the Russians in Warhammer were also like this.

Going to war with Kislev was not in the girl's plan, but if Boris insisted on not giving in, this was also an acceptable option. She was mentally prepared for the situation at hand, and the last secondary anchor point she had at hand did not necessarily have to be deployed in Devingard -

After kicking her father's knee, Katarin, who had returned to An Jiyue's arms, suddenly raised her head. The black-haired girl first looked at the beautiful elder sister who was holding her, then turned her head to look at Boris: "Dad, I want a fiefdom."

"Oh, Katalin, can we discuss this later? Now let Dad..."

"I want Devingard," Lori said in a baby voice, "I want to be a boyar there."

An Jiyue and Boris fell silent at the same time. After a moment, An Jiyue spoke first: "Boris, I swear in the name of my grandfather that I will never pay you even a penny. But if it is Katalin." The girl passed her hands under Katalin's armpits and lifted the little girl up to her level with her eyes: "Tell me, cute little one, what do you want? The best Aurora silk, or gold and gems?"

"I want my father to stop worrying about state affairs and not dare to let his subordinates see it," Katarin opened her beautiful eyes, "Please, big sister, can you help my father?"

……

"I really didn't expect that," Bing Ruolan crossed her arms and looked disdainful, "you are actually a lolita complex."

"From the beginning, I was prepared to pay extra money to buy Devingard," An Jiyue bent down and carefully examined the map provided by Mrs. Kisley. "What I said before was actually to lower the price so that Mrs. Kisley would not take advantage of me. But Boris turned out to be more irrational than I expected. He changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book."

"That's normal," Shugenqing nodded, "After all, they are Maozi, so they are always so abstract."

"Katalin is really smart. I suspect she may have sensed my thoughts, at least part of them. Both the timing and the content of her words were just right. This little girl is no ordinary girl," the girl gestured on the map, calculating the marching route and the time required. "Anyway, I really regret not being able to give Boris a good beating. Whether it's Boris from Kislev or Boris from the Empire, they both deserve a beating in my opinion."

"Uh, Todd Bullinger isn't that bad..."

"He once assaulted one of his female courtiers and got her pregnant."

"...Fuck, beat me to death, don't give me face!"

"In short, the plan has finally come to this point," An Jiyue let out a long sigh, "Boris didn't ask for money. In addition to more food, he wanted some finished weapons and military supplies. Due to limited transportation capacity, these things can only be sent to Erengrad by sea, not with the grain transport team. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with Byrnos, so I can entrust the dwarves at Haimenguan to help deliver the goods. At the speed of the paddle steamer, this batch of supplies will be delivered in about 20 to 25 days."

Bing Ruolan stared at An Jiyue's profile: "You're going to stay here for a month?"

"Just consider it as a vacation. Since I came to this world, I have hardly rested for even a day." The girl put away the map, rolled it up and stuffed it into a long tube. "Of course I say rest, but I actually plan to use it to improve my design... I designed a special long-range weapon for the Recasters, and Barrel said the response was, um, subtle."

When An Jiyue arrived at Kislev, the battle to recover Treasure Peak had already begun. Since Treasure Peak and Plateau Castle were too far apart, the 40,000 Recasters who participated in the battle flew over.

This was also the first time that the Lords of the Holy Scriptures witnessed the long-distance deployment capability unique to the Recasters. Barrel watched on the spot how the Recasters, along with their equipment, turned into an amorphous mass of magical energy in the Echo Hall, and then broke through the air like a long rainbow and flew towards the Treasure Peak.

The first phase of the battle was initiated by the dwarves of Silver Springs. In order to wash away the shame of Chaos followers appearing in his own territory, the Lord of Silver Springs, the direct descendant of the dragon slayer Skof, and the self-proclaimed King of Treasure Peak, Thordin personally led all the tribesmen who could fight into the fortress and headed all the way to the temple dedicated to Granni deep in the fortress.

This is the most critical step in the entire battle plan - whether it is to restore the Recaster to its energy form or to reshape its body, it must be done at a specific location, not just flying wherever you want. In theory, all temples of the Ancestral God can take on this function, provided that there must be a dwarf priest on site to perform a ceremony to summon the power of the Ancestral God to descend, and this time the dwarves unanimously decided to set the Granni Temple in Treasure Peak as the destination.

This was also the most dangerous step in the entire operation. If it weren't for the Jinshan Society's scandal, Thordin could have waited for reinforcements to arrive at Silver Spring Town by land and made more thorough preparations before launching the operation; however, this huge scandal caused Thordin, who already lacked legitimacy, to suffer greatly. In the end, the dwarf lord decided to carry out the mission alone with his army.

You know, although both of them are "kings" who can't even control the throne room of the fortress, there is a fundamental difference between Thordin and Belegar. Although the latter can't even effectively control the surface of Eight Peaks Mountain, he is the orthodox royal bloodline of Eight Peaks Mountain anyway, and the only direct descendant of King Loen. Therefore, although Belegar's title of king is a little bit watered down, his legitimacy is unquestionable.

Thordin was different. Although Skof had slain the dragon, he and his descendants had never truly recaptured the fortress. The dwarves had an ancient tradition of pioneers becoming kings, but Skof's line did not meet the criteria for recognition. They themselves could not be considered an orthodox royal family, and the title of king they claimed had never been recognized.

Finally, coupled with the matter of the Gold Mountain Society, especially since the leader of the Fallen is Thordin's relative, the entire Mountain Kingdom will oppose Thordin's coronation as king. In order to solve the problem of the king's selection, Thorgrim is likely to announce that the most outstanding dwarf prince who has no inheritance rights in each fortress will be selected as the king of Treasure Peak.

In order to wash away the shame and to keep his crown, Thordin took the initiative to take on the most difficult task. He did it, and when the recasters opened their eyes again, they saw Thordin, whose armor was almost stained with blood, and the corpses of greenskins and ratmen piled up like a hill at his feet.

Then, the battle became a one-sided fight. Forty thousand Reforgers crushed all resistance. They were like an unstoppable raging wave, sweeping through every corner of the Fortress. Although the battle is still going on and has not yet ended, the battle has already entered garbage time. The greenskins and ratmen are just struggling to survive, and there is no way they can turn the tables.

Due to the distance, the Plateau Fort Legion did not participate in the battle. Barel only sent a representative to Treasure Peak on the Goblin Scourge, along with Gotrek Gonnisson, Felix Jaeger, and Joseph Bergman. After participating in the battle of Treasure Peak, the three are currently returning to Eternal Peak by airship. After meeting his fellow rangers from Plateau Fort, Joseph has more ideas about the work of the Shadowbeard Brotherhood, and the duo will continue their adventure.

Treasure Peak is about to be liberated, and An Jiyue has also received the battlefield feedback report of the Plateau-25 kinetic beam rifle.

Chapter 114 Standard Weapons

The recasters' comments on Plateau 25 are quite... subtle.

First of all, the disadvantages. The lethality of the Plateau 25 is the focus of the recasters' complaints. The lethality of this thing is not even as good as the Dwarf Rifle, and it is about the same as the ordinary bow and arrow. It is okay to fight against goblins or ratmen, but it is difficult to quickly kill the thick-skinned orcs even if it hits the torso. People who have used this gun generally think it is "weak and powerless", claiming that the Plateau 25 is only suitable as a self-defense weapon for non-frontline personnel.

[Group leader #An Jiyue: I cannot accept this accusation. Dwarves are not a race that specializes in mental power. If too much mental energy is extracted at one time, it will place a great burden on the user's soul. The designer's job is to make trade-offs in different aspects, rather than unrealistically trying to create a perfect weapon. The plateau 25's lethality is indeed low, which is an objective fact and the result of repeated considerations. Moreover, this thing is only the first generation of products after all. What else do you expect from something designed in two working days? ]

In addition to the low lethality, another point of complaint is about the dwarves. Users said that the use of kinetic rifles "does not require any physical effort at all." Similar remarks have been used to criticize muskets. Those dwarves who prefer to use traditional crossbows and do not like firearms believe that muskets are too easy to use and consume too little physical energy. What is an advantage in the eyes of humans is actually a serious disadvantage in the eyes of conservative traditional dwarves.

This is true for muskets that require cumbersome steps to load ammunition, let alone kinetic rifles that do not require loading at all, and only require pulling the trigger. As a first-generation product, the Gaoyuan 25 has a slightly faster firing rate than a flintlock rifle. In order to prevent the high firing rate from causing too much burden on the user, An Jiyue deliberately limited the firing rate of this thing to four rounds per minute. This means that after firing a shot, users can only wait for 15 seconds without doing anything, waiting for the kinetic rifle to be fully charged.

The Imperial musketeers would fall in love with this weapon once they used it, but the dwarves would only complain loudly that it made it difficult for them to use their abundant physical strength.

[Barrel o Magic Hammer: Don't worry, there are more people who think your design is excellent. ]

Apart from the low lethality and "lack of physical work", the rest of the reviews are basically praise. The most praised aspect of the Plateau 25 is its unparalleled accuracy and penetration. The recoil of the kinetic rifle can be regarded as zero, and the needle-shaped telekinetic bullet is in supersonic state throughout the flight process. Coupled with the extremely high directivity, this thing has extremely high accuracy. In the hands of the recasters who are all veterans of hundreds of battles, this gun can hit the flesh within meters and the head within meters!

Secondly, the penetration power of the needle-shaped telekinetic bullet is amazing. According to the results of the first batch of prototype guns tested at the shooting range, it can ignore the defense of the runeless star armor within the effective range and penetrate it with one shot.

What satisfies users the most is that the Plateau 25 is extremely reliable. Dwarves are a race that strives for perfection and values ​​reliability above all else. The Dwarven Engineers Guild's harsh, almost fault-finding new invention review process is a direct reflection of this cultural trait. Throughout the entire Treasure Peak Battle, the two thousand trial production kinetic rifles distributed to the Reforgers have not had any slightly serious malfunctions, and even if there are occasional minor problems, they can be corrected on the spot.

To be honest, although the Plateau 25 is very reliable, its daily maintenance is quite troublesome. Its operation process is not only cumbersome, but also cannot make any mistakes, otherwise it will not be able to fire at best, or even break on the spot. An Jiyue thinks this is a shortcoming, but the recasters don't think it is a problem at all: Isn't the meticulous maintenance of equipment the most basic quality of a dwarf?

After a high-intensity battle, Barrel collected a lot of first-hand information. After summarizing the feedback from the users, he sent it to An Jiyue through the chat group. By the way, a test report written by Grim Brockson was also mixed in the thick stack of battlefield feedback. There was nothing much to say about the test report itself. The key point was that this legendary engineering master asked An Jiyue quite bluntly at the end of the report whether the double-layer barrel design was for adding an axe blade under the barrel? And... whether this design was based on the Chaos Dwarfs' broad-bladed muskets?

"Tsk, I really can't hide it from my colleagues." An Jiyue read the report quickly and then closed the document interface.

From the beginning, An Jiyue designed the Plateau 25 to be a weapon that could be used both at long range and short range. The girl originally planned to install a copper-made axe blade under the barrel, so that the rifle could be used as a two-handed axe in addition to shooting.

The barrel of the Gaoyuan 25 uses a double-layer design, with the inner layer being a soft copper alloy and the outer layer being solid fine steel. The two layers of the barrel are not close together, the outer fine steel barrel and the inner copper alloy barrel only touch at the ends, leaving a 1.5 mm gap in other places. The advantage of this design is that when the outer barrel undergoes a slight deformation that is imperceptible to the naked eye during a fierce close combat collision, it will not affect the inner barrel.

The inner barrel with the mind circuit engraved on it cannot withstand even the slightest deformation, which will cause the mind circuit to fail due to poor conduction. As for why the first batch of Plateau 25 was not equipped with an axe blade, it was because An Jiyue suddenly realized when the design work was almost completed that although she had solved a lot of technical difficulties that looked particularly high-end and were indeed very high-end, as a loser with melee ability roughly equal to that of a skink, she could not be said to lack understanding of cold weapons, but only to know nothing about them.

Weight, material, shape, processing technology, and sharpening methods, the shape of cold weapons is not as simple as it seems. Because it involves her own blind spot in knowledge, the girl entrusted the design of the melee structure of the kinetic rifle to Deljim O Forge, a rune lord recruited by Barrel using the lord card.

According to Barrel, Delgim has built more than a dozen samples in the past month, but he is not satisfied with any of them. At the current pace, the Rune Lord may have to wait until Plateau-25A is offline before he can complete his work.

An Jiyue spent a week drawing the blueprint for the Plateau-25A and sent it to Barrel. Compared with designing the basic model, reading the feedback report and making targeted improvements actually took up more of the girl's time and energy.

After much consideration, the girl finally decided to lower the firing rate of the kinetic rifle from four rounds per minute to three rounds per minute. At the same time, she also optimized the layout of the mental circuits and improved the restraint efficiency of the inner barrel. Without affecting other performance or increasing the weight of the entire gun, she increased the lethality to a level comparable to that of the Dwarven Crossbow.

All that remains are some minor modifications to the human-machine engineering. After that, as long as Delgim completes the design of the under-hung axe blade, this thing can be mass-produced as the standard long-range weapon of the Reforger Corps.
