Chapter 560: Double tube, more than twice the power

"Miss Aisha, Miss Rachel, please wear earmuffs, because the shooting noise of this new type of firearm is relatively loud..."

Murphy, the director of the newly established Weapons Research Institute, who is also the number two character in the Rune Mage, handed the sisters 2 brand new earmuffs.

Aisha took the earmuffs and looked up and down.

The style of the earmuffs is very simple. The arc-shaped bow frame is made of two metal wires. A light yellow ear protector is fixed at each end. The material seems to be some kind of resin. It is pressed by a mold. The surface of the ear protector is smooth and beautiful. The inner side is filled with a layer of sponge.

This pair of earmuffs are made very finely, especially in terms of details, with perfect consideration. This is also the typical "striving for perfection" style of Hai Chaoling.

Aisha picked up the hair around her ears, gently pulled the earmuffs apart, and covered her small white ears with ear protectors. The sponge is soft to the touch and feels quite comfortable to wear.

She shook her head, and instantly felt that the whole world was much quieter, and even the sea breeze that blew over the weapon testing ground seemed to be much gentler.

"Your Excellency Murphy, is this kind of earmuffs produced by the'earmuff factory'?" Aisha blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "I remember that the earmuff factory was just established half a month ago. Is there a product so soon?"

"Yes, Miss Aisha." Murphy smiled proudly. "As far as I know, various departments in the territory have placed a total of 13 orders with the earmuff factory, with a total quantity of more than 200,000 pieces, of which are from the commercial department. The super large order is as many as 150,000 pieces."

"The order from our Arms Research Institute is the first order to be delivered. The earmuffs in your hand are one of the first batch of earmuffs."

"Hey, even Mr. Goode has to be behind us if he wants to get the goods..."

Aisha and Rachel looked at each other, and they all saw the same idea in each other's eyes-Lord Lord is so kind to Rune Mage!

………………

As senior affairs officers who are familiar with most of the affairs in the territory, the sisters know well the origins of earmuffs.

The original idea of ​​earmuffs came from Goode, the director of the Department of Commerce.

In the winter of last year, Goode saw a doom oyster shell fishing boat returning from work at the wharf. He noticed that every crew member on the fishing boat covered his ears with a thick fur and fastened them with ropes.

This peculiar dress aroused his curiosity.

After talking with a crew member, Goode learned that their purpose is to protect the ears. If the ears are not covered, they will definitely become red and swollen after being frozen in the cold sea breeze for a few hours. Over time, the ears may even rot.

However, although this method is effective, there is also a trouble, that is, the fur is easy to fall off when working.

This gave Goode the idea of ​​making earmuffs.

In his opinion, earmuffs definitely have a huge market demand, especially in high latitude areas where winter time is longer, and they will definitely be welcomed by people. As long as they can be manufactured, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will produce one more product. .

Even if the earmuffs are simple in structure and can easily be imitated by other chambers of commerce, are Haichao chambers of commerce afraid of competition?

Never!

With Haichaoling’s industrial level, earmuffs can be made cheap and beautiful. The chamber of commerce that has been able to do so in the human world has not yet been born~~

Regrettably, after Goode racked his brains to write the "Feasibility Report", after being delivered to Miss Angela, the girl just glanced at it and threw it aside.

The girl’s reason is simple. Today there are so many projects in the territory, and each item is more important than earmuffs. Human resources are extremely tight. How can there be extra manpower to develop this kind of poorly technical stuff for you?

While going, this lady has no time to take care of this little matter!

A few months later, things quietly turned around.

When the Weapons Research Institute began to develop powerful magical firearms, many magicians complained that the sound of the firearms was too noisy, and the ears "buzzed" after the test all day.

It didn't take long for Murphy to mention this in a "Monthly Debriefing Report" submitted to the Lord Lord and Miss Consul.

After reading the report, the lord immediately gave instructions for the Office of Government to establish an earmuff manufacturing factory as soon as possible to produce a batch of "labor protection supplies" for the weapons research institute.

When Goode learned about this, a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

Fuck, I worked so hard to write the "feasibility report", carefully analyze the market prospects, forecast sales, and especially emphasized that this is a profitable project. I didn't expect that no one would take care of it at all.

Some people just said casually, the project was launched quickly, and even the research was omitted.

Is there any reason for this?

Although in Haichaoling, "differential treatment" is a well-known thing and everyone recognizes it, but can you not be so biased?

Anyone who understands the cause and effect of earmuffs once again deeply realizes that the rune magician is the true love of Lord Lord. Compared with them, everyone else has to stand aside.

………………

"Marx, you can start..."

Murphy yelled at a strong man standing in the bunker from a distance.

The brawny man named "Marx" nodded, put the heavy ammunition box on his back, and then he gave a low drink, lifted a magical firearm one size larger than the machine gun, kicked the ground hard with his legs, and made a "bang" Jump out of the bunker.

At the moment of landing, Marx pulled the trigger.

"His..."

"His..."

The firearms swallowed two bullet chains at a very fast speed, and a terrifying metal storm broke out.

Yes, you read it right, it is "two" bullet chains, because it has two barrels.

This is a double-barreled heavy machine gun.

In fact, the double-barreled heavy machine gun is nothing new.

On the earth, many countries have manufactured double-barreled heavy machine guns. The German Mg14z is one of the more famous ones. Some models have even been shown in wars, and their performance in actual combat is not bad.

However, due to the complex structure, low reliability, and easy failure of double-barreled heavy machine guns, they could not be equipped on a large scale.

However, in another world, the application of rune technology has greatly reduced the number of pure mechanical parts and objectively improved reliability. This has cleared the way for the batch equipment of double-barreled heavy machine guns.

Rain-like bullets fell on a stone wall more than 500 meters away. Numerous potholes were gnawed on the surface of the stone wall. Stone chips flew around, and spider web-like cracks spread quickly.

The impact position of this nearly half-meter-thick stone wall became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye. After only 4 or 5 breaths, it was punched out of a big hole.

In terms of firepower, the double-barreled heavy machine gun far exceeds that of ordinary heavy machine guns, almost twice as much as the latter.

This terrible firepower made the sisters Aisha stunned.

According to the pre-planning, Marx first demonstrates the output of standing piles, and then performs the output of moving.

While carrying a double-barreled heavy machine gun, he rushed forward and fired fiercely at a transplanted bush.

"Boom boom..."

The violent bullets quickly leveled the bushes, leaving only a few low stumps in place.

Aisha, who is very familiar with magic guns, was amazed, but also keenly aware that the muzzle shaking amplitude of the double-barreled heavy machine gun was even smaller than that of the single-barreled heavy machine gun.

This directly leads to more concentrated bullets and easier control.

How could this be?

A question popped up in Aisha's mind.

It stands to reason that the recoil of the double-barreled heavy machine gun is greater, and the shaking amplitude should be greater...

After destroying the bushes, Marx ran for another distance and aimed his gun at a tree that was more than 20 meters high.

"Boom boom..."

Bullets hit the trunk one after another, and a gap appeared at the bottom of the trunk and expanded rapidly, as if an invisible beast was gnawing at the trunk.

Since the diameter of the trunk is less than 3 meters and the target is smaller, the stability of the double-barreled heavy machine gun is more obvious at this time. Aisha visually found that the missing bullets did not exceed 1/3.

This is an amazing data. In mobile shooting, it is not easy to achieve such a hit rate.

Changing to a normal heavy machine gun, you will miss more than half of it.

When the gap increased to half the diameter of the tree trunk, the tree could no longer support it. Accompanied by a startling "click" sound, the tree broke from the gap and collapsed suddenly.

"boom!!"

The nearly 200-ton arbor fell heavily on the ground with a loud noise. The ground trembled violently, and the sky was full of dust.

The visual effect of this scene is particularly amazing, even though the tree is more than 600 meters away, Sister Aisha can't help but step back a few steps.

Marx ran back with a double-barreled heavy machine gun, raised his hand to salute, and said loudly:

"Sir, the demonstration is over, please give instructions!"

Murphy "haha" smiled, returned a non-standard military salute, and said:

"Marx, you have worked hard, you can go to rest now..."

Marx nodded, put the gun on the ground, turned and left.

Murphy looked at Sister Aisha and said with a smile:

"Miss Aisha, Miss Rachel, as the two of you have seen, this is the first magic heavy firearm developed by the Weapons Research Institute. We call it the ‘double-headed snake’."

"During the war in the Thousand Lakes Kingdom, we found that ordinary heavy machine guns were still too light for the Awakeners to fully utilize their strength."

"So Lord Lord ordered the development of a special firearm for the awakened in the army. That's why we created the "double-headed snake". Its caliber is exactly the same as that of a normal heavy machine gun. The two can share bullets."

"The maximum rate of fire of the heavy machine gun is 150 rounds per minute, while the double-headed snake heavy machine gun has a rate of fire as high as 400 rounds per minute. Its weight has not increased much, only about 40% higher than that of the heavy machine gun."

"Once the double-headed snake design is finalized and mass production begins, 80% of the awakened in the army will be equipped with this weapon. We expect that the firepower of the entire island guard team will more than double by then!"

The twin sisters' pretty faces immediately showed a look of wonder.

Murphy added another sentence:

"By the way, the double-headed snake will also be equipped on the metal biplane'Silver Kite' as an airborne weapon..."

Rachel squatted in front of the double-headed snake, reaching out to fiddle with the double-barreled heavy machine gun, and asked:

"Your Excellency Murphy, although the firepower of the double-headed snake is very powerful, it can be seen that it is a firearm with a more complicated structure, which will bring difficulties to subsequent production."

"Why didn't the Weapons Research Institute develop a single-barrel heavy machine gun with a larger caliber? I think large-caliber bullets are more powerful and can make up for the lack of quantity, and the production of a single-barrel is less difficult..."

After Rachel squatted down, Murphy, who was condescending, naturally saw the white tenderness on her chest. His heart jumped and he quickly looked away, using the opportunity to speak to cover up his embarrassment.

"Miss Rachel, you asked a great question."

"In the beginning, we did plan to develop a heavy machine gun with a caliber of 20 mm, but after some discussion, Lord Lord rejected this plan because..."

He emphasized his tone.

"logistics!"

"Every additional bullet in the military means that several bullet production lines need to be added in the territory, and it also means that this will put more pressure on logistics management."

"If you confuse bullets of different calibers, for example, mistakenly equip large-caliber machine gun bullets with small-caliber heavy machine guns, this is very likely to cause catastrophic consequences in a fierce war."

"So, after many arguments, Lord Lord finally decided to develop a double-barreled heavy machine gun."

"So that's the case." Rachel suddenly realized, "You make a lot of sense. It's really important to simplify logistics."

Aisha noticed Murphy's sneaky gaze, she kicked Rachel lightly and motioned to her silly sister to stand up, and then she asked her doubts in her heart.

"Your Excellency Murphy, during the demonstration just now, I found that the shooting stability of the double-headed snake heavy machine gun is unexpectedly high. Can you tell me the reason for this?"

Murphy glanced at Aisha in surprise.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this beautiful lady. If it weren't for someone with extensive experience in using heavy machine guns, he would definitely not notice this difference.

Murphy smiled:

"Miss Aisha, your vision is admirable. What you call'high stability' is the biggest characteristic of the double-headed snake."

Then he raised the double-barreled heavy machine gun with difficulty, pointed to a long strip part next to the barrel, with small holes on both sides of the part, and said in an admiring tone:

"This is another amazing invention by Lord Lord. Its name is "Recoil Inhibitor". I think only Lord Lord's great wisdom can create such a delicate design."

"We know that the'recoil' of the magic motive gun comes from the air in the high-pressure gas tank. When the high-pressure air pushes the bullet out, it will also produce a reaction force on the gun."

"Lord Lord cleverly designed a ‘return’-shaped structure to introduce the high-pressure air from the two barrels into it, change the direction of the air flow, and let the air flow out from the jet holes on both sides of the suppressor.”

The color of admiration in Murphy's eyes grew stronger.

"At this time, the direction of the reaction force is changed. It is divided into three parts, one to the left, one to the right, and one to the back, and the first two just cancel each other out, leaving only the reaction in the backward direction."

"After testing, we determined that the recoil of the double-headed snake heavy machine gun is reduced by 90%, which is smaller than that of the ordinary heavy machine gun, so the double-headed snake has better stability."

"I think you should know that high stability will bring higher shooting accuracy, which is very important in actual combat..."

Aisha nodded silently, her beautiful eyes twinkling, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Murphy glanced at the sisters, coughed lightly, and said:

"Two clerk ladies, please move to the No. 3 Weapon Proving Ground. We have another weapon to show to both of you. It is a weapon specially developed for Yin Kite..."

"Oh?" Rachel asked. "What kind of weapon is that? Is it powerful?"

"Aviation incendiary!" Murphy grinned, "Yes, it is very powerful. Lord Lord said that if you want to preserve the Thousand Lake Kingdom in the upcoming full-scale war, this weapon is the key! "
