Chapter 404 Returned Students
The convoy began to enter the mountains after a short rest.
Seemingly in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery changed. It was no longer flat farmland, but now there were cliffs on one side and wooded hillsides on the other.
All the guards of the convoy prepared their weapons, and some took out their telescopes and looked around vigilantly to beware of sudden enemies or beasts.
Frederick sat on the top of the carriage and chatted with the girl Sanna who had joined him at the inn.
Sanna claims to be Sonya's twin sister. Unlike her younger sister who likes quietness, she likes exciting and lively things and is now a hunter.
“You graduated from the Mechanical College?” Frederick recalled carefully, but he did not expect that this girl was a returnee from overseas.
The School of Mechanical Engineering at Weissenburg University is the same as the science and engineering university in his previous life. The ratio of men to women is very exaggerated. Girls are often mentioned in particular. He often goes to the college to inspect and guide work, but it seems that he has never heard of this. name.
Sanna leaned against Frederick and said proudly: "My family asked me to go to the School of Liberal Arts like Yaya, but I think the School of Mechanical Engineering is more interesting. My family didn't agree, so I changed to another school. Name."
As she spoke, she quietly stretched out one hand to hug Frederick's waist, and handed over her weapon with the other hand: "This is my graduation project."
Frederick had long noticed that she was carrying a strange-looking air gun behind her back. He took it and studied it, nodded and said, "It's a very ingenious design."
The barrel of this gun is 20mm in diameter. It looks like the Barrett M82A2 from Frederick's hometown. It is shoulder-fired. There is a shoulder pad behind the six-round magazine. The grip and trigger are in front of the magazine, and the sight is on the right side.
The tail part of the gun is an empty tube with an independent jet tank inside. When shooting, the jet tank that propels the bullet is activated at the same time to reduce the recoil.
Frederick saw that the barrel and jet tank of this gun were not standard products, and asked: "You made many parts, right?"
Sanna was very proud. Said: "Except for some screws, I designed and processed everything myself!"
Frederick nodded with satisfaction. Nowadays, there are many wonderful ideas in the school, and the school also encourages them. Ingenious designs like this keep popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
After obtaining permission, he stood up on the carriage, put the gun on his shoulder, turned on the safety, and shot at a big tree more than 500 meters away on the other side of the valley.
“Bang!”
The difference in the working time of the two jet tanks is negligible. The recoil is unexpectedly small, but the movement is a bit loud and the gun body vibrates a lot.
Judging from the results, the accuracy of the gun was pretty good. It broke the leaves next to the aiming point. If it aimed at the center of the bear's torso, it could cause fatal damage. Small targets such as pheasants depended on luck.
A layman watching the excitement, an expert watching the doorway, Sanna sighed: "Your hands are so steady, the gun didn't even move!"
After sitting down in the carriage, Frederick said to Sanna: "If you want to A stable hand first requires sufficient strength in the arm, especially the muscles used when holding a gun, which need targeted training.”
Frederick once doubted whether the emergence of new weapons would change the world. The extraordinary powers fell into a useless place and soon discovered that they were wrong. The new weapons were just cold weapons. In the end, people had to rely on people to play the role of the weapons.
Richard Nall, the founder of Wesen-ryu martial arts, believes that firearms require the same muscle strength and fine control, dynamic vision, reaction speed and thinking speed as those of other types of martial artists. The force required to move the trigger is not very high, but special training is required to keep your hand from shaking when aiming, and to overcome muzzle jump and recoil after shooting. The first basic skill of Wesen-ryu martial arts is to hold the gun stably to prevent the shaking of the body, especially the hands, from affecting the shooting accuracy. The second basic skill is how to overcome the muzzle jump after shooting and reduce the time to aim again.
These two basic skills require muscle strength, endurance and control. People with extraordinary strength can do it better than ordinary people. Masters like Frederick can make the muzzle of the pea gun stay still when shooting, as if there is no recoil. Likewise, the point of impact during continuous shooting is only affected by the weapon's own factors and wind direction.
At this time, Mateo, who was driving, turned around and asked: "Do I need to avoid it?"
Frederick smiled and said: "No, knowing many things is one thing, learning is Another thing, because it requires persistent efforts to transform knowledge into results."
He continued to say to Sanna: "Continue with what you just said, and the second thing is to grasp the movement direction of the gun after shooting. Strength, to suppress the movement of the gun body in the shortest time, which requires the hand to be sensitive enough to the subtle movements of foreign objects."
Sanna asked curiously: "Then how to train the reaction of the hand. ?”
Frederick replied solemnly: "It's very simple. Just fish often. Once you can feel the fish eating the bait through the vibration of the fishing rod without using a float, that's about it. Richard Nall highly recommends this kind of training." Method."
Richard Nall's reputation is now in full swing in the Rhine League and surrounding countries. Sanna had heard various rumors when she studied abroad in Weissenburg, so she pointedly pointed out: "I see. Master Richard Nall is making an excuse for fishing."
Frederick just smiled and said: "This gun of yours is not suitable for close combat, and it needs other weapons."
At this time, Sanna's hand wrapped around Frederick's waist again, reached out and patted his armpit and said, "Guess whether I have this on me?"
Philip This time, Telie came out with not only the Remit sword given by Psyche and the Paladin saber given by the Church of Light, but also a revolver in the holsters under the armpits on both sides, and the holsters on his arms and legs. The holster contains steel bars for a certain magical electromagnetic gun, as well as hidden weapons such as daggers, shoe blades, and wire ropes.
"I don't know." He said with a bad smile, "How about I check it out?"
He felt that Sanna had some evil intentions towards him. He had no choice but to do it if he was too good. That's it, so let's test it out.
Sanna didn’t hesitate at all and squeezed into his arms.
Of course Frederick would not act recklessly in broad daylight, with the world clear. He just hugged the girl's waist and whispered: "You haven't mentioned the situation at home to me yet."
< br>Sanna immediately pointed to the hillside five or six hundred meters away across the valley and said: "Look, there is a mattress slime there!"
Mattress slimes used to lie softly on the ground, about one meter in diameter. If a small animal stepped on them, they would quickly wrap up their prey and suffocate them to death. At the same time, they would eat carrion like other slimes.
Frederick hit her on the head angrily and said nothing.
The first day of the convoy's journey was uneventful. As the evening approached, the mountain road turned, and a clear view suddenly opened up. There was a village in the wide valley, and farmers were using small carts to transport the grass that had just been harvested today. Returning, the shepherd followed with his flock.
Mateo said to Frederick: "We will spend the night here tonight."
