Chapter 341: Observations 3

"This weapon is called an AK47," Meng Qingshan said with a smile.

"AK47?" Tan Laosi found the name particularly awkward to pronounce, but the name was not important; what was important was that this firearm could fire thirty rounds of ammunition continuously, and its shooting accuracy was extremely high. In the hands of this young soldier, not a single shot missed, which was truly formidable.

If the soldiers of Dongzhou City each had an AK47, the Monster Army would be nothing; they could kill as many as came.

Thinking of this, Tan Laosi felt his eyes light up. In the battle between humans and monsters, a very important reason for being at a disadvantage was that the number of the Monster Army far exceeded the number of human soldiers.

The AK47 could fire continuously, which could compensate for the disadvantage of having insufficient human soldiers.

No wonder a small county like Luolong County, with only a thousand regular troops, had actually defeated a Monster Army of over a hundred thousand.

Besides Meng Yifan's formidable strength, firearms like the AK47 must have played a major role.

Tan Laosi was not a fool. After entering the city, seeing the cement, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wind power generator units, as well as the AK47 he was seeing now, all were things Meng Yifan had intentionally had people show him, also wanting to let the Dongzhou Inspector know through him that Meng Yifan had these good things here.

"Brother Meng, could you fire at me? I want to personally experience the power of the AK47 first," Tan Laosi said.

Meng Qingshan nodded. The AK47's 7.62mm bullet could easily pierce the scales of a Level 2 Demon Beast and could also injure a Third Grade Demon Beast, but it was almost useless against a Fourth Grade Beast.

Tan Laosi was a Third-Grade High-Level Martial Artist; his body's defense was slightly weaker than the scales of a Third Grade Demon Beast, but a martial artist's True Qi could compensate for the lack of defense.

It was also very difficult for one AK47 to kill a Third Grade Martial Artist, but if three AK47s formed a crossfire and fired continuously, if the Third Grade Martial Artist did not hurry to escape, their True Qi would be consumed in large quantities, and in the end, it was possible they could be shot to death by the hail of bullets.

The soldier responsible for demonstrating the AK47 just now was Zhang Kuiyong; he was a sharpshooter, and holding an AK47 to shoot, he could hit the target every time.

Zhang Kuiyong received Meng Qingshan's nod of approval, changed a magazine, and then locked the muzzle of the AK47 onto Tan Laosi, who was one hundred meters away.

"Young man, don't be nervous, fire at me," Tan Laosi said with a smile.

Zhang Kuiyong subconsciously aimed the muzzle at Tan Laosi's right eye; this was Tan Laosi's weak point in defense. However, Tan Laosi was, after all, an envoy from Dongzhou City, and Meng Yifan still had to have a face-to-face talk with him later. If he shot him dead with one bullet, Meng Yifan would probably be very angry.

Zhang Kuiyong thought for a moment, then moved the muzzle away a bit, aimed at Tan Laosi's right leg, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, a 7.62mm bullet flew out of the chamber, spinning continuously as it rushed toward Tan Laosi.

"So fast." Tan Laosi compared the firing speed of a bird gun and an AK47, feeling that the muzzle velocity of the AK47's bullet was almost twice that of a bird gun. This shocked Tan Laosi greatly; he could easily dodge bullets fired by a bird gun, but to dodge an AK47's bullet, he would need to use his Lightness Skill.

Tan Laosi wanted to feel the power of the AK47's bullet, so he did not dodge this shot, but instead used Condensing Qi into Steel, and his right hand turned a bronze color, as if it were cast from bronze, looking very sturdy.

"Clang!" The AK47 bullet collided with Tan Laosi's right hand, actually emitting the crisp sound of metal colliding.

The bullet head of the AK47 twisted and deformed, while a one-inch-deep dent appeared on Tan Laosi's right hand.

Finally, the kinetic energy of the AK47 bullet was exhausted, and it fell to the ground, while a trickle of blood flowed from Tan Laosi's right hand.

"It can tear through the scales of a Third Grade Demon Beast." Tan Laosi had just used Condensing Qi into Steel to strengthen the defense of his right hand, which was why he had blocked the AK47 bullet. If he had not performed Condensing Qi into Steel, that AK47 bullet might have even shot through his palm, which left Tan Laosi shocked beyond measure.

The soldier responsible for shooting was only a First Grade Martial Artist, yet after using the AK47, he could unleash combat power that threatened a Third Grade Martial Artist.

The AK47 was too powerful; it could significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

"Lord Envoy, I'm sorry to have hurt you. I have some Golden Innovation Medicine here; the medicinal effect is quite good. Let me apply some medicine for you," Meng Qingshan said.

Tan Laosi shook his head and said, "It's fine, just a minor skin wound; it will be better in a while. Let's go, let's go see Lord Meng."

"Alright, let's go." Meng Qingshan led the way in front, with Tan Laosi following closely behind. However, after walking only two steps, Tan Laosi discovered that the soldiers were carrying a type of cylindrical weapon, aiming it at a small mound two hundred meters away, and pulling the trigger.

"Whoosh!" A cone-shaped rocket, the thickness of a calf, with scorching flames spraying from its tail, flew out with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, that small mound was directly leveled to the ground, and dense shrapnel flew in all directions, blowing the surrounding group of straw men into disarray.

"This... what kind of firearm is this again? How is it so sharp?" Tan Laosi was greatly startled; the power of that weapon just now was comparable to the Shenwu Great General Cannon.

But Tan Laosi saw very clearly that this weapon was fired by soldiers carrying it on their shoulders. The Shenwu Great General Cannon was very heavy and inconvenient to move, so it could only be used as a fixed artillery position, while this cylindrical weapon could be carried and run with, completely capable of firing a shot and changing locations.

Tan Laosi saw at a glance that the advantages of this cylindrical weapon were too prominent; as long as it was used properly, it could completely crush the Shenwu Great General Cannon.

"This weapon is called a Congreve Rocket Launcher. The one you see is a single-shot type; we also have Sixteen-tube Rocket Launchers, which can fire sixteen rockets at once to achieve fire coverage. It is very effective against the Monster Army charging in dense formations; a single volley can blow up hundreds of demon beasts," Meng Qingshan said.

Tan Laosi listened with secret alarm, imagining the scene of sixteen rockets flying over, each exploding violently after hitting its target. If Luolong County were heavily equipped with these multi-tube rockets, the cluster charges of monsters would be a joke to Luolong County.

Tan Laosi stopped walking and asked directly, "I wonder if your side has any other weapons to display? Display them all together."

Luolong County still had forty-five Array Heavy Machine Guns; after being equipped with Fourth-grade Demon Cores, they could even tear through the scales of a Fourth Grade Beast; those were the true great killing weapons.

However, Meng Yifan did not intend to sell the Array Heavy Machine Guns, so he did not arrange for anyone to demonstrate them.
