In his last life, Lawrence once read a famous line popular on the Internet, that is, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by a barbecue. If so, take two meals.

　　 This sentence is naturally just a joke, but in some cases it also has its truth. For example, now, after removing the grill from the cellar and starting to grill some beef and lamb. With the help of barbecue and beer, the dwarf Eugene suddenly became more open-minded and open-minded, and also spoke out the predicament he is facing in front of his savior.

"If it doesn't work, then I will sell this factory and go to my cousin's gun factory to help." Eugene whispered while eating barbecue and drinking wine, "but I have to give it to my workers Leave enough severance pay. After all, the factory's troubles are related to the fact that I have taken too much money to upgrade my extraordinary power. I can't make the workers pay for my own mistakes."

"I thought that after the upgrade, I could come up with a better design to upgrade the entire factory, but I didn't expect the command to veto my latest design. I admit that I was a bit hot-headed and the command proposed it. The proposal is considered fair. But then my factory is completely in trouble—"

　　 Listening to Eugene’s complaint, Lawrence knew that the dwarf in front of him was a mechanic, and his dwarf friend Cog was the same profession. It's just that unlike the mechanics who tend to individual small-scale battles like Kogg, the inheritance of mechanics accepted by Eugene belongs to the kind of non-combat extraordinary who tend to make.

　　 "By the way, you just said that you have invented several new weapons. Can you let us see it?" Lawrence made a request when everyone had almost eaten.

The reason for this request is that Lawrence has a keen interest in the new weapon invented by the dwarf mechanic called Eugene. After all, the dwarf has just vowed to show that the weapon he invented is epoch-making, especially in this battle. Murlocs should be able to play a very important role in the war. This made him think of something relatively tall.

　　 "Of course, of course." The dwarf was very pleased with Lawrence's request. As a mechanic, he was very pleased with someone's request to appreciate the work he had made with his painstaking efforts. I saw him quickly swept away a few pieces of barbecue in front of him, and then drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp. Finally put down the glass and said to Lawrence. "Well, you come with me now. I will show you my wonderful shooting."

　　 Five minutes later, the three people came to a solid granite warehouse built some distance behind the factory building. In front of them was a big guy with a diameter of more than one meter and a height of more than two meters covered by canvas.

"Look, this is my product, a small explosive automatic launcher." As the dwarf Eugen grabbed a corner of the canvas and pulled it down, a machine that looked very complicated and had four legs appeared. In front of Lawrence and Syphil.

"I found that in this war against the murlocs, or in the large-scale conflicts between humans and wild races over the years. Those savage and ignorant guys threaten us most except for the assaults of the elite and extraordinary ones. It is a large-scale decisive assault." Ou Ren appeared a little excited and introduced his design ideas.

　　 "In the face of the attack of the other side's extraordinary person, we can naturally use our side's extraordinary person to go up. But our firepower is still much weaker when facing the monster sea of ​​monsters."

"Most of the time, our transcendents often need to deal with the transcendent power among the monsters, and there is no way to provide us with extra support. When facing the tide of monsters, the soldiers alone Firearms are far from enough, and the artillery support cannot be reached in time when needed—"

　　 Hearing this, Lawrence nodded slightly in approval. In the early days of darkness and ignorance, the reason why mankind lives in this world is not because of the problem of extraordinary power. After all, human beings were not weak at the time in terms of high-end gods or low-end ordinary transcendents.

What is really deadly is that the environment required by humans and the environment required by a large number of extraordinary creatures overlap very strongly, and creatures like goblins, murlocs, and kobolds are not as good as humans, but in the age of cold weapons and even heat In the early days of the weapon age, it was always possible to use numbers to completely overwhelm humans in many cases.

　　 And the core of all this lies in whether it is the cold weapon era or the early hot weapon era. At that time, the human weapons were not good enough, and the amount of firepower delivered per unit time was far from reaching the ideal state, so that it could not overwhelm the number advantage of the wilderness races. After the advent of the industrial age, with the rapid advancement of technology and the upgrading of weapons, mankind can finally use firepower to suppress the number of wilderness races.

　　 But this offset refers to the whole, and does not mean that every link is perfect. For example, in small-scale operations, human firepower is still insufficient.

"Although after the invention of the grenades with safety explosives as the filling material, our ordinary soldiers on the front line also have their own heavy firepower, but ordinary people can generally throw about 50 meters with the strength of their bodies. Obviously, this is the same as There is a big loophole in the range of the artillery's firepower, and my invention fills this point." Just when Lawrence thought about this, the dwarf Eugene also said this.

Then Eugene walked to the machine he invented, pointed to the black pressure vessel at the bottom of the machine and the surrounding pipes, and said, “This is a small steam generator. When enough high temperature and high pressure steam is generated inside, I It will pull a handle next to it and use the steam to launch the small shells that were previously filled in the upper funnel."

Speaking of this, he straightened his waist and pointed at the upper barrel and a series of gear levers and springs. "Through a series of mechanical structures above, this artillery has an extremely good shooting angle. At the same time, those springs can also alleviate. The recoil of the artillery allows this artillery to fire at your highest rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute."

"These mechanical legs have excellent mobility, can perfectly follow the infantry and provide them with uninterrupted firepower~lightnovelpub.net~ without having to be as difficult as those other artillery to accompany the infantry in time. "After pointing to the mechanical walking part of the artillery at the end, Eugene straightened up and said to Lawrence and the others with pride.

　　 "It sounds perfect indeed." Lawrence asked, looking at the pocket self-propelled artillery in front of him. "But there is a small problem. This thing shouldn't be made by ordinary people."

　　 "It's really not. It wasn't until I became a full-scale mechanic a while ago that I succeeded in making such a thing." Eugène said here and quickly defended. "But this kind of thing can be used by ordinary people, and if the funds are a little sufficient, I can still reduce the volume by half while ensuring that the power remains the same."

　　 "But have you considered a question?" In the process of communicating with the dwarf, one of the most important things is to be straightforward, so Lawrence said bluntly. "The cost of this thing is really not suitable for large-scale military equipment, and for the battle of the extraordinary, such a thing is too powerful."

　　 "Yes, the officers in the command also said the same." After hearing Lawrence's words, Eugene sighed deeply. "They think my idea is very good, but the cost of this weapon is too high. The military really can't accept a small artillery that is used by infantry. Its shells are not much stronger than grenades. The price is about the same as a heavy artillery. It is unacceptable that the later use cost of this thing is similar to a heavy artillery company.
