Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1258: Candle oil explosive bomb

Views:

Flames were blazing in the white circle on the ground. After the bombing was completed, the nine aircraft circled over the valley and flew directly into the distance. The Governor looked at the scene below in the sky. After giving up, he flew directly towards the crowd on the hillside, and Gao Tianqi quickly followed...

In the blink of an eye, the Governor landed domineeringly from the sky in front of the group of people in military uniforms on the hillside.

The military uniforms worn by those people were not the military uniforms of the regular armies of Taixia states, nor the military uniforms of the Fourth Army of Taixia. They were gray-green military uniforms similar to those of the armed merchant groups and wealthy private armies. As a distinction from the regular army of Taixia, There will be a conspicuous diamond-shaped mark on the cuffs of these military uniforms to indicate their identity. If you are familiar with the military system of Taixia Prefecture, you can also learn more from the details of these people's epaulettes, collar badges, cap badges, and armbands. On the cap badge of these soldiers, there is a pattern of crossed swords and wings composed of steel gears, which is very special.

Among the crowd, there were five other people wearing blue engineer uniforms and glasses, who stood out among a group of soldiers.

There were fifty or sixty people in that group, all of them very capable. More than a dozen strange six-wheeled off-road vehicles with camouflage coatings were also parked nearby. Compared with ordinary steam-powered vehicles, they looked almost identical in appearance. We can't see the easily distinguishable external features of those cars such as the steam engines, boilers, pressure storage tanks, and smoke exhaust systems...

The Governor and Gao Tianqi who fell on the ground couldn't help but look at the people in front of them and the cars parked behind them.

The two knights fell from the sky, and those people were a little surprised. They all stared at the Governor and Gao Tianqi who fell to the ground, but there was no look of fear, and the atmosphere was not tense.

"This is the weapons testing ground of the Candle Dragon Legion. What do you two do here?" A young officer in his twenties asked proactively.

Because the governor will not go to Xuanyuan Hill to report his duties to the court. Otherwise, they rarely wear formal official uniforms. As a phantom knight, it is difficult for people below the knight rank to distinguish the specific rank of a knight at a glance without fighting or deliberately releasing his aura.

Cheng Honglie glanced at the young officer, who was no more than ninth level, and went straight to the point, asking domineeringly and directly. "I am Cheng Honglie, the governor of the Northeast Governor's Mansion. Which of you is the one who can call the shots here?"

Hearing that the Governor actually announced his family status, there were finally some friends among this group of officers. There are many knights coming to the Zhulong Territory these days. It is not surprising to see the knights, but it is unexpected to see the Governor. It exceeded everyone's expectations, because no one expected that the entire border officials of the Northeast Governor's Palace would suddenly appear here.

One is wearing a military uniform. A man under forty years old with a mustache walked out of the crowd. This man was Zhang Tie's cousin Zhang Su, "I can make the decision here. No one here has seen what the governor looks like before." In this way, your words are unfounded, please prove your identity, otherwise, this is an important military area of the Zhulong Territory. Please do not enter unless you want to, and please leave this place!"

Zhang Su said neither humble nor arrogantly. Even facing knights, he has no stage fright.

The Lord Supervisor nodded secretly in his heart. This is the way a soldier should be admired. These people had never seen him before. If he said that he was the Superintendent of the Northeast Governor's Mansion, they would believe it without hesitation. , Cheng Honglie felt that these people had no brains and lacked military discipline.

As soon as the Lord Governor moved his hand, a radiant seal suddenly appeared in his hand. He flashed the side of the big seal with the words on it towards Zhang Su and the group of officers, letting everyone see the words "Seal of Cheng Honglie, Superintendent of the Northeastern Governor's Office of Taixia" on the big seal, and then Calmly put the Governor's Great Seal into his own space equipment again.

"Meet the Governor..."

Zhang Su took the lead, and everyone stood at attention solemnly and gave a military salute to the governor.

The Governor nodded. His eyes immediately focused on Zhang Su, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Su!"

"Do you hold any position in the Zhulong Leader?"

"I am the deputy commander of the Zhulong Army under the leadership of Zhulong!"

Seeing that Zhang Su was answering questions fluently, his attitude has been neither humble nor arrogant from the beginning to now, and Zhang Su's face gave people an inexplicable familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before, the governor looked carefully at Zhang Su's face. Face, "What is your relationship with Zhang Tie?"

"I am Zhang Tie's cousin..."

No wonder, Cheng Honglie nodded. As cousins, they are closely related by blood. The facial contours of Zhang Tie and Zhang Su, especially the chin and nose, are somewhat similar. "Were you testing weapons here just now?"

"yes!"

"What kind of weapon is it?"

"New type of candle oil explosive bomb!"

"Candle oil explosive incendiary bomb?" Master Superintendent's eyes lit up, "Is it made from candle oil?"

"Yes!"

The Governor pointed at the fire still burning in a barren land in the distance and sighed, "Just nine candle oil explosive bombs can produce such an effect. If it were replaced by ordinary white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs, it would take at least two There are more than ten bullets. These candle oil explosive bombs are a weapon for the military and the country!"

"This is also the result of the sect leader's foresight!"

"oh?"

"The Sect Master said that the heat released by the burning of candle oil is stronger than the gasoline before the Catastrophe. Before the Catastrophe, the human race invented powerful gasoline incendiary bombs. In this era, we also have white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs. The Sect Master explained, Let's see if candle oil can learn from the experience between the two, find a way between the two, and use candle oil to create a new incendiary bomb. After several months of experiments, our engineers and researchers finally Use candle oil to create a new type of candle oil explosive bomb!"

White phosphorus gel bombs are naturally a big killer on the battlefield. It can be said that they are also one of the strategic resources of the human race in the holy war. As the governor, Cheng Honglie knows very well how high the cost of manufacturing a white phosphorus gel bomb is. How complicated is the process? The manufacturing cost of a 500-kilogram white phosphorus gel incendiary bomb requires at least more than 3,000 gold coins. Moreover, due to the scarcity of some of the raw materials and the caution of the manufacturing process, the largest subordinate in the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion The official factory that manufactures white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs in Taixia can only produce more than 10,000 tons of white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs every year. This number seems large, but in actual battles, the production scale is very small. .

Especially in the jihad, no country or army will think that its white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs are enough. The white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs produced every year by the factory in the Northeast Governor's Prefecture have almost no use. After leaving the factory, all the shares have been snatched up by the armies of the various states within the Northeast Governor's Mansion. In order to grab the share of the white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs, the cavalry generals and governors from various states come to the Governor's Mansion almost every year to cause trouble. Crying about the poor and complaining makes the governor himself very annoyed.

Among the wealthy families in the various states within the Northeast Governor's Prefecture, there are also family factories and companies that produce white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs. The production capacity of these companies is even lower, and the white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs produced by these families were not available before the Holy War. There will be people who will trade them. After the Holy War begins, unless they are very well-connected families, the white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs of these families will only be able to get in and out. Everyone is hoarding this powerful weapon.

I heard that the candle oil invented by Zhang Tie was made by fermenting straw. The cost of this candle oil will not be much high, and the production will not be difficult. If the Zhulong leader really masters the method of large-scale manufacturing of candle oil explosive incendiary bombs Method, and being able to keep costs down, this was a major event that could shock Taixia's military.

In the past two months, the names candle oil and airplane had already caused a stir in the world. Unexpectedly, the Zhulong leader would once again use candle oil to create something new in the military field so quickly.

In addition to ordinary white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs, Cheng Honglie also knew that the Taixia military had been working on the miniaturization of white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs in recent years, hoping to miniaturize the white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs and turn them into individual soldiers. Equipment, after so many years of research, significant progress has been made. Small white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs have even begun to be gradually put into battlefields in the Diyuan Realm for testing. However, for some reasons, the production of miniaturized white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs has also declined. Lower and more difficult to equip troops on a large scale.

The Lord Superintendent glanced at the few people wearing blue engineer uniforms in the crowd and asked Zhang Su directly, "Besides candle oil, what raw materials are needed to make this candle oil explosive bomb? Can it be produced on a production line? Candle Dragon Leader What is the maximum annual production now?”

"Sorry, Lord Governor, this is the secret of our Zhulong Territory. Unless the sect leader agrees, I have no right to disclose this information to Lord Governor!" Zhang Su looked serious, shook his head, and refused to answer this without hesitation. question.

"Bold!" The governor's eyes widened, and the aura on his body suddenly became dangerous. A mountain of pressure came directly to Zhang Su. Everyone present felt as if they had fallen into a thousand-year ice cave. Likewise, each and every body, fighting energy, blood, and even thoughts were frozen under this mountain-like aura. In front of the majesty and aura of the Phantom Knight, all the highest-level warriors present were less than a fighting spirit. Everyone feels like they are like ants in the crater of a volcano. As long as the governor has a thought and wave his hand, everyone will be wiped out. If there is no resistance, everyone will be killed.

"Even if the Governor kills us now, I still say the same thing. Unless the sect leader agrees, I have no right to disclose this information to the Governor!" Zhang Su said through gritted teeth.

"Hahahaha..." The governor suddenly laughed, and the mountain of pressure disappeared. He pointed at Zhang Su and nodded, "You are very good, polite and courteous. Zhang Tie really knows how to choose people. I’m about to go find Zhang Tie, so I’d like you to lead the way...” (.)
