Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"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."

Chapter 352 Enjoyable Time

"No gunpowder of any kind?"

Now it was Chariot's turn to be surprised. Is the technology tree here so abnormal?

Beichen said that when he played in the starry sky, he would not make the technology tree so deformed.

"Gunpowder? Uh, is it a new proper term? Sorry, this aspect may have entered my knowledge blind spot."

The engineering department official shook his head and said he couldn't understand.

So now, the firearms can definitely be completely copied, and the quality will definitely be higher. The alloy here has higher strength and lower density than any type of alloy the tank has seen before.

Just solve the problem of power.

However, this is too time-consuming, so I can only try it slowly and patiently.

Compared to the tank, the engineering department officers responsible for the blitzing shield had a much easier time.

"Well, it's just an ordinary shield with a device that can emit strong light, but it must have been made temporarily and is a bit rough."

Blitz nodded and said with a smile: "Hahaha, under the circumstances at that time, there was no time to pick and choose. It would be great to have something that works."

"I copied the style of your previous shield and made a new one for you. Without changing all the data, the weight is 20% lighter. I also slightly improved the device above. It can be used in a short time. For multiple uses, it is enough to change the energy supply regularly.”

The Engineering Department employee placed a brand new shield on the workbench, reached out and knocked on the shield surface, and said proudly.

"Losing weight instead of gaining weight to increase strength? Haha, that's exactly what I want. Rather than hiding behind the shield, I prefer to rush forward and slap the shield hard on the enemy's face."

Blitz picked up the shield, weighed it carefully in his hand, and said with satisfaction.

The four of them spent the whole afternoon in the engineering department with other operators. During this period, Beichen went to the game hall to play games for an hour. When he came back, he saw, oh, why are the discussions here so intense?

The result, of course, is not ideal.

Except for Blitz, who got a high-performance flash shield, the remaining people were in trouble.

There is no progress yet on the propellant of the bullet, and the engineering department staff said that they will have to find other people for help tomorrow.

Shuanghua said that the improved "Welcome Mat" requires too much force to open and is not suitable for use in combat.

Regarding the wall-breaking explosive bombs on the Ashes side, only a rough framework has been discussed, and the drawings have not yet been produced.

Contacting and drilling into the wall before exploding can cause greater damage to the inside of the wall while reducing the charge.

Obviously, ordinary Originium explosives cannot do this kind of thing. They will only explode the moment they touch the wall, but the power seems to be enough.

"Huh, I didn't expect to spend so much energy on this matter."

Chariot sighed and placed the bowl back on the dining table.

"This afternoon, the word I heard most often was 'Origin Stone'. People here don't seem to know much about other technologies that have nothing to do with Origin Stone."

Hui Jing said, and she couldn't help but think of a few words she heard many times in the afternoon.

"This, didn't you use the Origin Stone Technique?" "If you used the Origin Stone Technique, it would be more convenient to use this thing." "It's too complicated, it's better to use the Origin Stone Technique." etc.

"Feel the same."

Shuanghua said with a wry smile.

"When the enthusiastic operator knew that I was having difficulty using this thing, he wanted to add an Originium device to help me automatically open the pressure plate."

"Everyone, do you have any plans for tonight?"

Hui Jin looked at the three people beside him and asked.

"No." "No..."

Chariot was about to say no, but before the words came out, Blitz bumped him with his elbow.

"Hey, Alexander, did you forget? We have something big to do tonight."

"Oh, yes, yes, Cohen, we do have something very important tonight. If it's not something important, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Chariot suddenly thought of his plans for the evening, and the corners of his mouth behind his helmet almost turned to the sky.

"you........"

Hui Jing looked at the two of them with some confusion and continued.

"Okay, it's not that important. Tina and I are going to use the evening to check out some information in the library and learn about the Origin Stone."

"Then let's go together next time."

Chariot and Blitz quickly packed up the tableware and left the Rhode Island cafeteria quickly. Those who didn't know the formation thought it was a charge.

"Tina, do you know what the two of them are going to do?"

Hui Jin looked at the backs of the two people and asked with some confusion.

"Cohen, do you remember that the two of them complained in the morning that the bars in Rhode Island are only open at night..."

Shuanghua looked at Ashes and said.

"???"

"Alexander, do you remember the way?"

"Then how could you forget? The bottle of wine Beichen gave me last time was gone before I could taste it."

"Hahahahaha."

As if walking on a street they had visited hundreds of times, the two of them found the exact location of the Rhode Island Bar.

"Speaking of which, whether this is a cash payment or something else, we have agreed in advance, but I didn't bring any of it."

Bing Qing pulled his pocket, and it was clean inside.

"Hahaha, Kuz, I'm afraid you can just watch me and enjoy it, but don't worry, this place gave us an advance of three months' salary when we first joined the company. Hey, where can we find such a good place?"

Chariot patted Blitz on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hey, is there such a good thing? I hope there will be fish and chips besides beer. It's better to show me an old movie, hahahaha."

The two of them were about to walk into the bar when they were haunted by the ghost again... Ah, I can't describe it that way, anyway, Beichen bumped into him again.

My question is, after having a full meal, it’s time for the blackout time in the evening. Although it is said that we can only connect via LAN, the team has already been formed.

Beichen looked at the two of them, then at the bar next to them, and immediately knew their purpose.

"Don't bring the ashes and frost with you, just come and enjoy it yourself secretly, right?"

Bei Chen joked with a smile.

"If you can really pour wine into Cohen's mouth, then you are really capable, haha."

After saying goodbye to Beichen, the two of course entered the bar.

Apart from the limited-time sale of alcoholic beverages, there is nothing wrong with this place. Even the old movies in Blitzkrieg are played on a slightly retro projector.

"It's so lively, I really miss it, but this thing makes me miss it even more."

Chariot directly took away a whole bottle of water of life under the surprised gaze of the bartender.

"Don't get drunk, I don't want to carry you back when the time comes."

"Worry about yourself, beer-drinking guy."

Chapter 353: Dish, practice more

"Well, to be honest, it's a little strange. I never thought that my pistol would be transformed into this."

Blitz picked up a brand new P12 pistol, looked at it carefully, and then tried to aim forward.

"Indeed, the changes are indeed obvious. The thickness of the barrel will not change my machine gun into a small-caliber machine gun."

Chariot picked up his machine gun and said with some surprise, to be honest, this caliber can be used to hit tanks.

But he was quite satisfied. Originally, the tank was not willing to be modified by this old guy, but he was very satisfied with the effect. Even the patterns he carved on the machine gun in his spare time were perfectly restored.

If the engineering department officer responsible for modifying his machine gun was here, Chariot would definitely buy him a drink.

"Have you ever felt that the weight of the gun is much lighter, even though it looks a bit bigger from the outside?"

Ashes raised the gun in her hand. She was a little uncomfortable with the changed weight. However, it was certainly a good thing to lose weight without affecting the overall quality of the gun.

"The gun was modified using a new type of material provided by Beichen Operators. The accessories have basically been refurbished by us. To be honest, I have never seen materials with such good performance several times. If the material used is If we use that kind of material on a daily basis, the weight of the gun may be doubled.”

The person in charge of the delivery spoke, with a hint of weakness in his voice.

Just look at the dark circles under his eyes and you'll know what's going on. It must be a lack of sleep.

In order to modify firearms and develop suitable bullets, the operators in the engineering department have been really busy for a long time, and it is not uncommon to stay up late and work overtime.

Thanks to them, all these things can be solved within a week, although the process is also very tortuous.

"Is there any problem? After all, this is our first time doing this kind of work, so there may still be some flaws."

He raised his head and looked at the four members of Rainbow Team and asked.

"The diameter of the gun...the barrel is much larger than we imagined. What is the reason for this?"

Ashes asked. She had changed her guns like this. Wouldn't she have to change her explosive grenade launcher into a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher? This caliber made her a little worried.

"Well, it's because of the bullet."

The person in charge of the delivery turned around, moved two boxes from behind, took out a bullet from them, and placed them on the table.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't find a replacement for the bullet you used. We could only try to make a new one, and this is the final product."

Ashes picked up the bullet on the table and tried to stuff it into the gun chamber. Sure enough, the fit was pretty good and the bullet was easily loaded.

"It is much larger than the bullets you used before, but correspondingly, the power will be slightly increased. There are still many shortcomings. For example, there will be a lot of noise when shooting, and the effective range is shorter than before. Not much, only about 400 to 500 meters.”

After getting the bullet's effective killing distance and firing range from the delivery personnel, Ashes couldn't help but frown.

This is a little too short.

Yes, the range is too short. There is no advantage here. It may not be as far as some people's spears.

However, this was much better than what she had imagined. After all, Ashes was prepared to only use the Source Stone explosive launcher in the future.

"Sigh, if the materials provided by Beichen were not used on this bullet, the range may be further reduced, and the range may only be a little over 200 meters."

"If you want to increase the range, you have to increase the amount of explosives. But if you increase the amount of explosives, the probability of the chamber exploding will increase sharply. Alas, it's a headache."

He turned sideways and glanced at the time displayed on the electronic screen, thought for a while and continued.

"By the way, the modification of several other items of yours has also been completed, and the person responsible for delivery should be arriving soon."

"What, are you thinking about me again?"

Bei Chen appeared behind a few people with a smile and took out all the things from the warehouse.

Ember's explosive grenade launcher, Blitz's new shield, the tank's grenade launcher, and Shuanghua's "welcome mat."

"In order to improve these, Lucille lost a lot of hair, but the effect still looks pretty good."

Ashes picked up the explosive grenade launcher. The modified launcher was much more refined than her original one.

"This is what gives Keluciel the biggest headache. After all, it is quite difficult to research if the blasting bomb first enters the wall and then explodes. But fortunately, we still made suitable explosives."
