Doomsday Code

Chapter 484: Sauron's Alarmist Words

Soran shook his head and shook his thoughts away.

Thinking of the thought that had just occurred to him, he felt an inexplicable fear.

He is a great general and a god of war, and he never shows mercy when fighting on the battlefield.

He is a murderous demon in the eyes of his enemies.

And now he actually had such a weak thought for his daughter.

Soran came to the mortar set up by Wisdom Shield in the training ground.

He reached out and touched the cold barrel of the gun, but could not feel any magic patterns engraved on it.

He reached his hand into the barrel of the gun, but did not feel the magic pattern he had imagined.

"Does this thing really have the power to split mountains and crack rocks as rumored?"

At this moment, Soran's eyes were on his understanding of weapons as a general.

There are long-range artillery-like weapons among the existing equipment and weapons, but they are all engraved with magic patterns, and they are magic cannons that require a large amount of magic energy to replenish each time they are launched.

Apart from its long range, the rest of the magic cannon is inferior to the magic of a wizard.

Not only is the magic energy conversion rate low, but the noise from charging and firing is also very loud, making it easy for military spies to discover it.

According to rumors, this artillery can be silent before firing, and there is no other energy fluctuation except the sound when firing.

Xiao Dun was able to quickly realize the role of artillery in military ambush warfare, so he naturally thought of it.

When Huidun heard his question, he smiled and said:

"This cannon doesn't require magic energy. What provides it with power and force is chemical energy. The chemical energy generated by the burning gunpowder is converted into kinetic energy to propel the shell. When the shell hits the ground, the chemical energy is also converted into internal energy and released, which then produces shock waves and other lethality."

Sauron was a little confused by Huidun's explanation, but Huidun didn't have Chen Cheng's idea of being a teacher, and Sauron also knew that this thing didn't consume magic energy anyway.

Now, the battle plans of all the armies on the entire continent are set according to magic. Now that there are long-range killing methods other than magic, this is a major reform for the army.

Thinking of this, the excitement on Soran's face disappeared.

He withdrew his hand, looked at the cold mortar on the ground, and then shook his head.

Huidun thought there was something wrong with the mortar. This thing was an important weapon for him to build an army in the future, so he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Uncle, do you think this weapon has any fatal flaws? If so, please point them out."

However, Soran shook his head and said:

“I haven’t handled the weapon before, but from what Xiao Dun said, it should not have any major problems.

What makes me shake my head is not the weapon, but the thought of you taking it out."

Looking at Huidun's confused expression, he sighed.

Sometimes he really suspected that Huidun was a fool. Couldn't he see such a simple thing?

But based on what he knew about the development of Huidun City, it was obvious that he was a man with plans.

"Are you producing this weapon to equip the army?"

There is nothing to hide about this issue, otherwise what are the purposes of those orders he placed at the arsenal?

So he simply nodded.

Then Soran shook his head and said:

"The problem lies here. If you are just doing some small things to equip your Earl's Guards, then that's fine.

But if you are able to ascend to the throne, then after you ascend to the throne, this weapon and the new tactics derived from it should be deployed throughout the army."

There was no need for Sauron to say more at this point. Huidun and the others were not fools, so they naturally knew what Sauron meant.

It is obvious that all the current military rules, regulations and procedures are based on the previous combat system, and now if we want to change them, then we have to make a major change in the military.

Those soldiers who can keep up with the times are fine, but those generals who are already familiar with previous weapons and tactics do not have as much time and energy as young people like Xiao Dun to learn a new tactic.

The military is very realistic. If you can't do it, just retreat.

And it's not just the army, but also the logistics behind the army, weapons production, etc. that need to be changed, and the interests of so many people will be involved in this.

He did not dare to think about it, because when he thought about it, he saw the bloody scene of the kingdom being divided in the future.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Huidun raised his hand and looked at it. Suddenly, he saw the blood on his hand that he would never be able to wash away in the future.

At this moment, Chen Cheng suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Huidun's hand and said:

"Lord Earl, wake up. Lord Marquis's words are obviously alarmist."

The few people who were still at a loss came back to their senses after hearing Chen Cheng's words, and Sauron also looked at Chen Cheng. He was not angry, but wanted to see what this young man, who was often boasted by his son, could say.

Chen Cheng smiled at Sauron and said:

“What the Marquis said is too arbitrary, as if the new artillery and traditional weapons and tactics are mortal enemies.

But the fact is that this is a complete fallacy.”

Then he looked at Xiao Dun who was standing aside and said:

"Lord Xiaodun, you are the one who is researching the tactics of this new artillery. I believe that when you are researching the new tactics, the tactics taught by the Marquis will come in handy."

Xiao Dun looked at his father and nodded:

"You're right. It really came in handy. And the change in tactics was actually only a small one. It was more about understanding the power of the new artillery and then being able to use it where it should be used."

At this time, Chen Cheng's face showed an expression of "as expected".

"My Lord Marquis, the emergence of a weapon cannot directly render the previously summarized combat tactics useless. If it does, it must be that the previous combat tactics were very low-level."

"And I believe that the generals who remain in the army after the disarmament are no ordinary people. I believe that after they understand the power and use of new weapons, they can quickly adjust their previous tactics."

“As for the soldiers, this will not have much impact on them. They can still use their previous methods to build up their strength, and they can also practice their boxing and kicking skills. They just need to replace their previous weapons with today’s new firearms.

And this change will not be completed in a short time. It requires time and a process, and as long as the new weapon can play a role on the battlefield.

I believe that those soldiers and generals are willing to accept him and learn and improve together."

"Of course, there are some people who are old-fashioned and don't want to make progress. I don't think we need to do anything about it. The military's laws will teach them."
