Chapter 2701: Magic Grenade

Qiao An took a "magic grenade" from Conti, and after a little observation, he understood the structure.
I used a "percussion technique" to disassemble the grenade and check the internal structure. As expected, the charge is mainly "flaming glue" and "stormstone", and it is also filled with some commonly used alchemical substances and mixed. A large number of small steel like bean grains enhance the damage of fragments.
The technical content of this grenade is not high, and an alchemist with three to five years of experience can use relatively simple equipment in a small workshop to produce similar products.
However, Qiao An would not underestimate the magical grenades. It is precisely this kind of simple modular weapon that best reflects the military strength of a country.
The Far East Type 1624 Magic Grenade is exhaustive and concise in design. There are only twelve parts in total, all of which are produced and assembled in an assembly line. According to Hakon, the yield rate is as high as 99.9%.
For every 1,000 grenades produced in the Far East Arsenal, there is an average of less than one inferior product. Coupled with multi-level quality inspections, they are finally distributed to the soldiers. The probability of getting a stinky bomb or a dud bomb is almost zero.
The small workshops of most alchemists cannot guarantee such a stable quality.
Of course, if you are willing to use high-level spells, such as "Magic Work", you can also ensure that the specifications of the same batch of products are almost identical, but the cost will also soar.
The assembly line produces industrial products in batches. Compared with hand-produced enchanted products, there is another huge advantage, that is, the production cost can be reduced to a minimum.
As a spellcaster, Qiao Ann must admit that the ability to simultaneously guarantee the high yield, high quality and low price of munitions is a miracle that belongs to the era of magical industrialization, a miracle that can only be achieved by mechanized mass production.
The Kolas Empire has strong industrial capabilities, but it does not actively expand abroad like the traditional powers of the Valais world, and has no intention of launching colonial wars. It certainly reflects the invaluable rationality and enlightenment of the ruling class, but the guns and ammunition produced did not pass. How to protect the profits of military-industrial enterprises?
Love for peace is a good thing, but this idealistic ruling policy will really not conflict with the rapidly expanding industry and military industry?
Qiao An admires the vigor of the Kolas Empire, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the government is efficient and promising, and win the hearts of the people, but he always feels that this country is weird, filled with a sense of unspeakable violation, in the world of Vares No similar example can be found in other countries or even in history. The current surging momentum of national strength may be difficult to maintain for a long time.
"Qiao An, is the magic grenade so beautiful? You have been staring at this pile of parts for a long time, and you have been fascinated by it. When someone talks to you, you ignore it."
Conti’s anger came in his ears, pulling back the young mage’s thoughts of letting go.
"I'm thinking about things." Qiao Ann tried to reassemble the grenade parts and turned off the topic casually. "Conty, two years ago, when I read the report on the war between the Far East and the Ashen Empire, I asked what was mentioned in the news. This new weapon is very impressive. It seems to be a bomb that is stuffed into a tube and then popped out with a bang. It is a cannon, but it is not very similar. It is not big in size, and a soldier can run on his back. What is that? Coming?"
"Um, I know! I know!" Conti jumped up excitedly and clapped his hands, and at the same time stopped Hakon from rushing to answer with stern eyes, "That's called'bullet throwing'!"
"There is a similar weapon called'Mortar'!" Hakon finally couldn't hold it back, and then Conti added, "There is a grenadier in the weapon cabinet, I will show it to you. Demonstrate how to use it."
Hakon ran to the weapon cabinet, took out a steel pipe device with a bracket, and placed it on the ground, which looked like a small infantry gun.
"The grenadier launches a special alchemy bomb called a ‘grenade’ with propellant at the bottom. After being inserted into the grenadier, it is pierced by the firing pin and it will be ejected with a bang."
The firearms and grenades provided in the training ground are equipped with empty bullets for safety reasons.
As he talked and demonstrated, Hakon launched an empty bomb, drew an arc in the air, and flew two hundred yards away before landing.
"Changing the inclination angle of the projectile barrel and the adjustment lever can adjust the distance of the projectile, the maximum range can reach 1500 yards, the explosion radius of the live ammunition is 20 yards, and the average damage in the area is about 10 energy levels, which is equivalent to a larger kill range.' Fireball'."
"The grenadier can also be used to fire special shells infused with magic. The most famous one is the'fire extinguishing bomb.' Splash, the fire brigade in the city is equipped with this kind of weapon, which is very effective when used to fight fire."
Haakon put away the grenadier, and then said to Qiao An: "The Far Eastern Army has also set up a special unit called the grenadier. Most of the officers and men in the grenadier unit are strong Keitlanders. The grenade can be easily thrown 100 yards away. Later, a tossing barrel was distributed to fill the gap between the cannon and the rifle."
At this time, Slude took over his brother's words.
"When it comes to grenadiers, one cannot fail to mention the two'Knights of Armor' that the Far Eastern Army is proud of. Although they use mechanical armor as the tactical core, each mechanical armor must be equipped with at least one squad of grenadiers. , The grenadiers and the armor knights are fighting together, and the grenadier squad is responsible for covering the sides and back of the armor knights, so that the armor knights can safely and boldly advance with the mechanical armor."
"Does the training ground also provide mechanical armor?" Qiao An looked around.
"Yes, next door, I will take you there!"
Speaking of his favorite "big toy", Slude's eyes shined, and he looked refreshed.
"The fighting technique of mechanical armor is not easy to practice by one person. You have to find someone to fight. So the standard equipment in the training field is two'Steel Cavalry'. I am itching forehand. Who of you will accompany me with two tricks? what?"
Hakon was the first to shake his head resolutely.
Conti was also embarrassed.
Qiao An can see it, Slude usually uses these two as "sandbags" training hands, and they all cast a psychological shadow on them.
"I have experience driving a Yangbo mecha, should I try it?" Qiao An looked at Slude.
"Steel Cavalry is an upgraded version of Yangbo Mecha. The operation method is almost the same. You should get familiar with it before you fight with me. I won't bully you, let you have a hand!"
"It's not necessary." Qiao An caressed the enchanted 9-ring "early warning" ring in his hand, adhering to the humanitarian principle to remind Slude, "Even if you exert all your strength, you may not be able to win me."
