Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Mr. Alexander, what exactly is this gun-like weapon?"

The engineering operators placed the tank's DP-27 light machine gun on the workbench, and there was no trace of surprise in their eyes.

Because when they tried to use this thing yesterday and found that it could fire normally, they all began to wonder if their mother was a Rutland.

"In your place, it should be called a gun. Is there anything damaged?"

Chariot asked. He picked up the machine gun and checked it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

"No, no, no, what I want to ask is why this kind of gun can shoot normally without any Originium skills and professional training. This is simply... unbelievable."

Although the power is not as powerful as Rutland's gun, the learning cost is too low.

Aim and pull the trigger, this weapon is just as deadly even in the hands of a five-year-old.

"Then, do you understand the structure of this gun?"

Chariot asked. The structure of this old guy is actually quite simple. As long as you take it apart and look at it, you can easily understand the principle. It should be easy to imitate.

"We cannot dismantle it without permission. The bullets used for the shooting test were also given to me by Beichen operators."

The engineering department officer shook his head and said. At the same time, he couldn't help but remember Beichen's mysterious smile yesterday, as well as the bullet he stuffed into his hand and his instructions.

"Want to try the feeling of shooting with a gun? Remember not to point the gun at other people. I can guarantee that this thing will never let you down."

It really didn't disappoint, it directly punched a hole in his workbench, and he had to pay for a new one out of his own pocket.

"Ammunition? Beichen gave it to me? Well...it's not surprising, but can you show it to me?"

Chariot asked.

"That's all that's left, because basically every operator in the engineering department tried to use it once yesterday. I still can't believe it. It's a bit too convenient."

He put the remaining bullets in the chariot's hand and continued: "If this thing can be mass-produced, doesn't it mean that ordinary people can go directly to the battlefield after a short training? Alas, this is a bad thing. "

Chariot picked up the bullet, looked at it, and nodded.

There are no problems, and this stuff is even made from Earth.

"No, no, there are also small guns sent over. They are so big that they can even be hidden in a pocket. If someone has one in his hand...it is unimaginable. This kind of technology is absolutely impossible." can be spread.”

The engineer from the Engineering Department had even thought about this level, and he didn't react until the chariot slapped him awake.

"Ahem, sorry, what were we talking about just now? By the way, can I dismantle the gun and study the internal structure, but it may not be possible to assemble it afterwards. Are you sure you want to do this?"

He asked seriously. After all, if the internal structure was very complicated, he couldn't guarantee that it could be restored to its original state.

"Hahaha, don't worry, in our place, even an apprentice can make this thing by hand according to the drawings."

Chariot said with a smile, "This old guy has a simple and reliable structure like this. You pull the trigger and it fires, it's that simple."

Indeed, the disassembly process can be said to be effortless, and there are no obstacles. The engineering department officer said that if it is of this complexity, he can assemble it in three minutes on the first try.

"Spring, piston barrel, barrel, and these...wait, are there just so many parts?"

He found it a bit incredible. The internal structure of this gun was even simpler than those children's toys.

"That's it. Look, it's very simple. Just follow the gourd's pattern and you can easily make a replica, and the quality will not be bad."

"You are right. Even our new apprentices can imitate this thing. However, this thing can never be just that. There must be some other secrets. I understand. The secret must lie in its use. of etched bullets.”

The engineer from the Engineering Department said categorically that if it were really so easy to make such a thing, everyone on the continent of Terra would already have a firearm, and crossbows and bows would have been cast aside as antiques.

"Etched bullet...well, the structure of this thing seems to be simpler."

Chariot handed the bullet in his hand to the opponent again.

"Careful! This is not how this thing is taken apart!"

Seeing the opponent pick up the hammer and prepare to hit the bullet directly, Chariot quickly stopped him, which shocked him.

If this hammer hits, there's no telling what will happen.

"I'll do it."

Chariot picked up the tools on the workbench and skillfully disassembled the bullets.

"Just...just these things?"

The engineering department officer was dumbfounded. He looked at the tank and then at the bullets that were disassembled on the workbench.

"The warhead, propellant, cartridge case, and primer are just these four parts. They are simple and easy to understand and have low technological content."

Chariot spread his hands and said that he still doesn't understand why the ammunition in this world is so complicated, even more complicated than the firearm itself.

"Is there no such thing as an Origin Stone circuit? Then what is his power? Is it that thing called propellant? What material is it made of?"

Another series of questions.

"The ingredient is nitrocellulose, which should be very common."

"Nitrocellulose? What is that? A chemical?"

As soon as this question came out, Chariot knew why this place couldn't make normal bullets.

It turns out that the smokeless gunpowder that we have been manufacturing since 1886 has not even been started here.

"It's going to be really difficult now."

Chariot frowned and poured the propellant in the bullet onto the workbench.

The four of them are not proficient in this aspect.

It would be nice if Smoke and Lesion were here. These two are much more proficient in chemistry than they are.

"It's a substance like this that will explode under certain conditions and use the thrust it generates to shoot out the bullet. Do you have similar substances?"

Chariot asked.

Even if there is no high-performance propellant, it is good to have alternatives, which can at least be used reluctantly, although the power and range may be greatly reduced.

"Well, let me think about it...the answer is no. The only thing we have here that can explode is the Source Stone."
