Chapter 177 Clearance
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
No one doesn't like explosions!
While other teams are still suppressing their firepower in an orderly manner.
There was already an explosion on the side of Shiraishi-Wenchester United.
Although the explosion distance is still far, the explosion's shock wave seems to have rushed to everyone.
The Mayor of New Haven, who always had everything in control, covered his face with his arms.
Although the militia commander Thomson was also startled, he did not dodge, but looked cautiously in the direction of the explosion.
Gao Wen, who was originally passionate introspection, suddenly had no way to explain this.
Why can't I explain it?
Because he had no idea what was going on.
He had no idea why there was such a loud explosion in the direction of Shiraishi-Wenchester United.
"This...is this an explosive pack?" Gao Wen said hesitantly.
"No! This is not a explosive pack! This is a grenade!" Doug had already arrived at the middle position from the edge of the observation platform.
He gentlemanly introduced himself to the people in front of him, "Hello everyone, I am Doug Clayden, the owner of Shiraishi-Wenchester United. Let me explain to you next."
Doug turned around and looked towards the direction of White Rock-Wenchester United. He looked at the smoke and dust that stirred up there, took out a wooden grenade from his arms and said, "It was the one that exploded just now!"
"Impossible! Grenades cannot achieve such a large explosion effect!" Little Colt retorted.
Although he looks like a young man, he is not completely unaware of weapons and equipment.
In fact, he still knows a little.
For example, he knew that if a grenade filled with black gunpowder was needed to achieve such an explosion effect, he would need at least a sack.
But how can a sack of grenades be thrown to the enemy's position?
Could it be...
Did you make trouble?
This must be the case!
"You! You've done something!" Colt pointed at Doug and said.
Doug smiled slightly, without admitting or refuting, but the expressions of others looking at Colt were a little subtle.
It seems that everyone wants to say "Whose fool is this?"
Because, this is a very simple logic, Doug naturally dares to stand up.
Since Doug dared to say this in front of everyone.
This means he is very confident.
If a person does not have self-confidence, how can he expose his weakness of not being self-confidence to others?
Doug didn't drag it for too long, but just paused for a moment, and then continued, "Because of Winchester's grenade, the explosives loaded are not black gunpowder. It is a brand new explosive.
His intensity was at least dozens of times higher than that of black gunpowder.
So, there was such a big explosion.”
"Double times?" Thomson muttered.
Although grenades have been born for more than a hundred years, they are not used in many applications.
The main reason is that after it explodes, the destructive power generated is not as strong as imagined.
Moreover, due to problems such as craftsmanship, problems such as dullness are inevitable.
Neither reliability nor destructiveness can work, so although the grenade has already appeared on the stage of history, it has been hovering on the edge of the stage.
"Can you let me see?" Thomson asked.
"Of course!" Doug replied.
He handed the grenade in his hand to Thomson, commander of the New Haven militia.
However, he said as he handed it to Thomson, "Master, this is a grenade without explosives."
Why is the grenade in Doug's hand not filled with explosives?
Because the explosives filled with grenades made in Winchester are all picy and acidic.
Pictic acid is not as safe as expected, and Doug is not a person ready to commit suicide at any time. Of course, he would not bring a grenade filled with pictic acid with him.
As for why trinitrotoluene is not used, it is because a highly reliable introductory drug has not been developed.
You should know that trinitrotoluene is much more stable than picric acid.
This is certainly safe, but at the same time, it becomes more difficult to make it explode.
Although Doug is leading Nobel in this world, he has taken the lead in proposing the concept of detonators.
That is to use explosives that are easier to explode but less powerful to detonate trinitrotoluene.
However, this requires a bit high level of process.
Currently, the engineers of Winchester Weapons Company have not yet achieved this problem.
After all, the so-called engineers in this era are not that professional.
They did not graduate from specialized schools, but changed careers from other professions.
And, because their educational level is relatively low.
Mathematical and physical tools are not introduced well for auxiliary design, and designing weapons is more through so-called experience.
Although, reliable designs can be extracted.
But the time, money and casualties are all consumed more than Doug's ideal scientific design.
Of course, scientific design does not mean designing today, getting pregnant tomorrow, and producing finished products the day after tomorrow.
Experience design is not meaningless either.
However, compared to experience-based design, there are still many advantages.
However, this kind of internal problem. Doug certainly would not expose his own shortcomings in front of so many people.
What he has to do now is to make everyone here, whether they are peers or future customers, think that Winchester's weapons are the best and most advanced!
Colt little said again, "Who knows what you said is true! No new explosives are so easy to study!"
Doug still smiled slightly. He ignored Colt, but looked directly at Mayor New Haven, "Mayor, do you still remember the terrorist attacks against the rich people in New Haven some time ago! The explosives used in their attacks were stolen from my laboratory!
I think you must be very clear about the power of those explosives and whether they are very destructive!”
When everyone heard Doug's words, they naturally focused their eyes on the Mayor of New Haven.
New Haven Mayor De Niro wanted to stare at Doug because he knew that the explosives were not lost by Doug's laboratory at all, and the explosions were made on purpose!
Create panic, acquire stocks, and achieve your goals through dark means.
Just achieve your goal, but now you have the attitude to say it?
However, in front of so many people, Mayor De Niro did not want to show that he was familiar with Doug.
He lowered his arm that had just blocked the explosion and said calmly, "Indeed, a very strong explosive was developed in Doug's lab. It caused a panic in New Haven."
Doug may be lying because no one knows him, so what can't be done to brag about his products?
However, the mayor of New Haven, who everyone knows, represents the credibility of the government and is not easy to lie.
Although not everyone believed it completely, at least most of it.
At this time, Thomson, the militia commander who had studied the grenade without explosives in front of him, said, "I think this grenade cannot be thrown far, so how do you do it to blow up the fortifications in the distance?"
Doug didn't even think about it, and answered directly, "That's it. At the beginning of the battle, our White Stone-Wenchester United, like other teams, began to suppress firepower at the first time.
However, unlike their simple fire suppression.
While suppressing firepower, Shiraishi-Wenchester United also sent out thunderbolt soldiers.
These thunderbolt soldiers crawled against the ground, and bullets from both sides could hit them.
Of course, after professional training from Shiraishi Security, the probability of being hit has been greatly reduced.
When the thunderbolts reach the range they can throw, they will start dropping bombs.
So, there are the scenes you see.”
"Is this a kind of synergy?" Commander Thomson asked.
"Yes, this is a kind of coordinated combat. Only after sufficiently rigorous training can the thunder throwing soldiers achieve a good understanding with the designers in the rear, and annihilate the enemy when the enemy does not notice it." Doug replied.
Thomson nodded.
However, Little Colt appeared again at this time, "This is useless! This is simply taking risks, using their lives to take risks!"
Thomson stared at Colt seriously with a caring for the little mentally retarded eyes, "What do you think war is? It's a joke? It's useless? Even if this tactic is only useful in this scene, it's useful!"
Others did not speak out for Colt Jr.
Because, they have had enough of Little Colt.
Just like all young people, Little Colt is too pretentious and thinks that others are rubbish and mentally retarded, and only he is always right.
However, this world and this society have its own operating rules.
When you have not even understood this operating rule, what qualifications do you have to deny this operating rule?
However, there was no way to see what happened on the auditorium on the other side of the drilling ground.
All teams are attacking according to the practiced strategy.
Of course, except for Shiraishi-Wenchester United's own people, many of them were also shocked by the sudden explosion.
However, it was just scared.
They did not flee directly.
All the teams present are teams that have experienced actual combat.
In comparison, the shorter-time formation of the White Rock-Wenchester United team is a team with fewer actual combat.
However, the core personnel of Shiraishi-Wenchester United all came from that battle in New York.
They obeyed Ram's command and obeyed Ram's dispatch, and Ram was a child with great fighting talent.
With such a configuration, coupled with the weapon support provided by Doug, Shiraishi-Wenchester United can be said to be the strongest team among the several teams on the field.
However, only Doug believed this by the people on the observation stage.
Others, whether Winchester or Gowen, have doubts about this.
It's not their fault, they are just ordinary people.
Although Gao Wen is already a dog of Doug, he has no feeling about Ram, and even has an illusion that he is much better than Ram.
But how can those who can surround Doug be weak?
Shiraishi-Wenchester United took the lead in attacking the fortress because of their advantage of grenades.
However, the first game ended when the fortress was attacked.
But the whole exercise did not stop.
The second drill is right in front of the fortress.
That's right, the drilling grounds for all teams are all long.
Just like a video game many years later, after passing the level, you have to go through the second level along the map.
Such a luxurious exercise can only be achieved in the United States in this era.
Such a large area of land, although nominally, has their master, that is, the government.
But in fact, it is still a land without a border.
It's like looking west from the east of the United States, and it seems to have endless land that is suitable for farming and survival.
Even if the economic crisis is serious, people should not starve to death with so much land.
However, theory is one thing, and reality is another.
Although these lands, although in fact there is no owner, they belong to the government in name.
Even though you really go here to live, no one will let you leave immediately.
However, living in a deserted and closed place where even the necessities of daily life cannot be supplied, can you really live well even if you can farm on your own?
Only by traveling with railways can these places become places suitable for settlement.
The White Rock-Wenchester United, who entered the fort, rested in the ruins, and they did not immediately start the second level.
It's not because they are exhausted.
But because the teams on both sides have not passed the first level yet.
If Shiraishi-Wenchester United begins to pass the second level now, who knows if those people will shoot black guns?
Even if they don't shoot bad guns, stray bullets are likely to hit them.
Yes, this is a flaw in the design of this exercise.
Even the designer himself has not yet reacted to this flaw.
Although Gao Wen is a smart person, he is very familiar with government affairs.
However, how could he be professional in designing such an exercise venue?
He also didn't know that he hadn't asked professionals about what the exercise should be.
However, professionals have made his guidance from experience.
Have they come to design the exercise venue on the spot?
So, Tom, who discovered that there was a risk of danger, decided to take a little rest.
While accumulating physical strength, I also thought about how to pass the second level better.
The encounters between the second level and the first level are different.
Nor did the pass point of the encounter be designed as a fortress.
The second level does not even require shooting, but a simple obstacle course.
As long as you overcome these obstacles, you can pass the level and reach the third level.
but.
These obstacles are not that easy to pass either.
Ram took out his dagger and carved a map of the obstacles ahead on the ground.
And he had a brief conversation with the team members who were good at obstacles.
Chapter completed!
