Terra Martial God and Merit System

"You mean Longmen will send someone?" Luo Chen understood. "What's the big deal? Just send someone. Weren't you sent by Longmen in the first place?"

“No, no, no…” Lin Yuxia took a deep breath and then shook her head. “Commander Wei would never send anyone casually… If Longmen really wants to send someone, the people in the team must be carefully selected.”

"Even....it could be our relatives or friends."

"Luo Chen——" Lin Yuxia gritted her teeth, "If they find me... and make bad requests again, I don't know what to do..."

"Family issues." Luo Chen nodded slightly, "Ah... Yan Guo's parents... Heh, I understand your concerns."

"But the answer you want is very simple, look at this--" Luo Chen pointed to a place.

"What?" Lin Yuxia frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Your ass."

"*Longmen swear*!" Lin Yuxia cursed, her cheeks turning a little red, "What are you talking about!"

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Chen waited for her in confusion. "I'm telling you a simple truth - the butt determines the brain."

"Look where your butt is now?"

"You are now the Minister of Commerce and Minister of Industry of the Terra Union... You are in charge of the economic flows of dozens of mobile cities. You are one of my generals! The money under you can kill anyone if converted into cash."

Luo Chen opened his arms and said exaggeratedly.

If "accounting ladies" also have levels, Lin Yuxia is definitely one of the highest in the world.

"You haven't forgotten the meeting we had a few days ago, right? The mission of our Terra Union is to save all the people in this world who are still suffering."

"Lin Yuxia, you stand on our side, on the side of all those who need to be saved."

"When you want to talk, just use your brain and think about where your butt is..."

"Think about where your butt is..." Lin Yuxia chewed on Luo Chen's words.

'The butt determines the brain' sounds strange and seems completely unbelievable. But if you think about it carefully...it feels like a revelation of truth.

Luo Chen...the man in front of me is like a treasure.

There is always something special to gain from every conversation.

"Hmph...Wei Yanwu wants to poach our employees?" Luo Chen thought about it and understood Wei Yanwu's thoughts.

The team members who followed Lin Yuxia to conduct the inspection have basically become senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce. Some of them have been sent to the occupied cities and become ministerial-level figures in a city.

These people were originally just outstanding young people in Longmen, but now they have all become big figures.

It would be strange if Wei Yanwu didn't seize this opportunity.

But how could Luo Chen let him get his wish?

"Longmen...Longmen is a good place." Luo Chen touched his chin.

Lin Yuxia joined the team shortly after he was knighted, so she can be considered an old comrade.

Chen Huijie joined recently, but she is doing well. Her way of thinking has also changed a lot because of the grassroots training. It won't take long for her to integrate into the team.

It can be said that these two were originally key figures in promoting the development of Longmen.

Now Luo Chen has brought him to his side.

But...there are more than just these two talented people in Longmen.

Since there is this opportunity, Luo Chen is naturally willing to pull the sheep of Wei Yanwu.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen cleared his throat and said to Lin Yuxia:

"Of course, I'm just saying this to remind you of the bottom line. We all have emotions, and only with emotions can we be called human beings."

"When friends and relatives come, we should still entertain them properly... as long as they don't cross the line."

"That's true." Lin Yuxia nodded in agreement.

"So, do you still have any connections in Longmen? I want to ask you for a favor." Luo Chen changed the subject.

Lin Yuxia: “?”

"First, I need to find a police officer... a ghost with a horn on his head."

"There is also a woman whose race seems to be the same as Kosice, and whose name is 'Nine'..."

"Oh, and there are doctors in the black market. I'm very interested in that."

Luo Chen wrote down all the people he knew and whose characteristics he remembered, then handed them to Lin Yuxia and asked her to help find them.

Lin Yuxia took the paper in a daze and wanted to refuse, but Luo Chen's "butt theory" appeared in her mind.

"Am I still standing on the dragon's side? My butt is here..."

In this way, Lin Yuxia accepted Luo Chen's commission.

When Luo Chen said goodbye and left, she finally came to her senses and slapped her head hard.

"How come I'm the same as Tallulah...I just did whatever Luo Chen told me to do?!"

Chapter 11 Weapon Research and Development [Reward plus ]

Luo Chen came to the research institute he built.

He walked in quietly without disturbing anyone.

When he arrived at the experimental area, Luo Chen saw Yodel discussing something with his brother.

And in front of them, there was a rifle that looked very complete.

The two men finished their conversation, and Yodel picked up the gun, walked to the shooting hole, and began to aim at the target and shoot.

"Bang bang bang!"

The firing rate was very high and the gun was very stable. There were no jams or bursts.

Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately chose to show up.

When he appeared, he startled the two of them. Yodel turned his gun directly. Seeing that it was Luo Chen who came, he couldn't help but exclaimed -

"Lord City Lord. You are here."

"Yeah." Luo Chen nodded slightly. He pointed at the gun in the other person's hand and said, "Has the finished product been made?"

"Yes!" Yodel nodded, "The finished product has been made."

He placed the gun on the table, "This gun is currently the 36th rifle test piece produced in our laboratory."

Luo Chen looked down and saw that the main body of the gun had a streamlined design with smooth lines and no unnecessary decorations. It looked very simple. The gun body was made of specially treated black alloy, which was cool and mysterious.

Judging from Yodel's test firing just now, the effect of this thing completely meets Luo Chen's requirements.

"This gun is designed according to some of the concepts you mentioned. For example, the compressed gas after each shot will cause the device inside to rebound and complete the reloading..."

"We also made some modifications, such as the trigger pull touch and feedback..."

Luo Chen picked up the gun and stood at the firing port to test fire.

I found that both the feeling of use and the power were very similar to the firearms in my previous life. In some ways, it was even more comfortable.

For example, the weight of this gun is lighter than some of the firearms Luo Chen knew in his previous life. This is due to Terra's advantage in materials science.

"What about the production cost?" he asked casually.

"It's completely within an acceptable range," Yodel replied. "If all the current military factories were to switch to producing this... at first we could produce a hundred a day, and once we were proficient at it, we could produce a thousand a day."

"And this model is just a rifle model. There are also submachine gun, pistol, shotgun and sniper models. Some parts of these models are interchangeable. Mass production is more convenient."

"Not bad, very good." Luo Chen stroked the gun with satisfaction, "This thing is great."

"There's just one flaw." Yodel took a deep breath. "We were just discussing this."

"Because the whole gun is made of alloy, and most of the alloy is steel, the gun will freeze in cold environment. Even the bolt cannot be pulled."

“As it stands now, it’s difficult for us to resolve this issue.”

"Isn't the winter in Ursus over?" Luo Chen asked.

"Perfection is always good..." Yodel replied.

After all, this was the first firearm they had made that was completely free of the Originium circuit. It was impossible to say that they were excited, and naturally they also hoped to make this thing perfect.

"Can it be used at minus 40 degrees?" Luo Chen asked.

"Our tests show that the shooting life of a gun will be reduced by two-thirds at minus fifty degrees Celsius," Yodel replied.

"That's enough." Luo Chen said.

This value is similar to that in his previous life, or even slightly stronger.

"Install a bayonet slot under the muzzle..." Luo Chen said finally, "That's it, we can start mass production."

"What about the name?" Yodel asked tentatively, "How about the name of the city lord..."

"Don't." Luo Chen shook his head.

If the thing in my hand was called 'Luochen Rifle', it would sound weird, and it might also turn me into a beautiful girl in a few decades.

More importantly...his latest plan to earn merit is to keep a low profile as much as possible, and it would be best not to let the people being helped know of his existence.

Now change the name of this gun to "Luo Chen". Wouldn't it be known to everyone what you have done?

No, absolutely not.

"You can change the name of this gun to your initials," Luo Chen said, "it's your design anyway."

The two brothers quickly shook their heads and refused, "Without your help, City Lord, we would never be able to design it..."

Seeing the two people trying to shirk their responsibilities, Luo Chen simply shook his head and said, "If you don't want it, forget it... Let's call this gun Type 36. Just number it in the following order."

"clear."

Luo Chen was just about to continue explaining when he unexpectedly saw another acquaintance walk in.

It was Herag. He was also surprised to see Luo Chen, "Lord City Lord... why are you here?"

"Look at the development of firearms." Luo Chen nodded, "You too?"

"General Hellagur helped us a lot when we were designing," Yodel said. "He even helped us adjust some of the design details."

"I invited him here today just to see the finished product of the Type 36."

"Yes." Luo Chen handed the gun to Hellagur.

Helag stroked the gun, walked to the shooting position and fired a few shots.

"Not bad...it has been adjusted very well." Herag was very satisfied. "This thing...can really change the world."

"With this, skirmish tactics can be implemented."

The so-called skirmisher tactics were first developed by Hablin based on Luo Chen's lectures. In summary, it is to separate the soldiers and disperse the attacks to avoid casualties caused by concentrated firepower.

This was the dispersion method Kamsko had used when placing bombs during the previous siege.

But on Terra, there are naturally many reasons why this method has not been popularized.

Not only does this tactic require soldiers to have a high degree of discipline, but another reason is that once the firepower of the weapons is dispersed, it is difficult to produce a suppressive effect.

After all, the only long-range means for most soldiers are crossbows.

Crossbows are not convenient for firing continuously. Even if it is the latest crossbow developed by Columbia, you still need to carry a large bag of crossbow arrows on the road.

If guns were more widely available, this situation could be avoided.

Three guns can create a huge fire suppression effect.

A few squads can cross-cover a large area, and when facing a large enemy formation, they can fight and retreat at the same time. They can kill the enemy with a small number of advantages!

Hellagur understood this very well.

He also understood what Luo Chen had told him before...If this thing can be mass-produced, then the form of war will really change.

At least if he was the Ursus commander who was trying to attack the Terra Union, he couldn't think of a solution.

Seeing Hellagur coming, Luo Chen discussed his Northern Expedition plan with him.

Helag took Luo Chen's words seriously, but said helplessly that it would be difficult for him to organize an army.

According to the rules originally formulated by Luo Chen, the army must recruit soldiers whenever they arrive at a place, and all soldiers must be reorganized to avoid the emergence of mountaintops.
