Darkness is Coming Chapter 185

   The dagger that Dai Xin took out was extremely sharp, and every part of the blade was carefully polished, but it was obvious that it was not made of silver.

Geng Zhiping is a little strange. The rune bracelet is made of silver, and the information from the Yuanjiao Society is also very clear. These mysterious runes must be engraved on silver to function, which makes silver the only one in Yuanjiang now. of precious metals. The luxuries of yesteryear like gold, platinum, diamonds are not worth as much as a loaf of bread today—maybe they'll be worth more in the future, but that's for later.

As if seeing Geng Zhiping's doubts, Dai Xin pointed to the handle of the dagger and said, "We have considered making a dagger with pure silver, but the hardness of silver is really not suitable for making weapons, and secondly, the blade cannot form a round surface. Therefore, we directly used the tactical dagger used by the army for the blade of the dagger. The handle was replaced by 925 silver and remelted, and the runes were engraved on it. These three grooves are used to put the brain core."

Geng Zhiping sighed smartly, and became interested. Seeing that Liu Yuanzhou didn't mean to play with the dagger, he stepped forward to pick it up and weighed it twice. Anyway, his relationship with Liu Yuanzhou was very good. What a pretense.

After playing for a few seconds, Geng Zhiping shook his head and sighed: "First, the cylindrical handle is not suitable for tactical daggers; secondly, changing the handle to silver will affect the center of gravity of the dagger, destroy the overall structure of the dagger's design, and reduce the use of the dagger. Performance; finally, this is not the Middle Ages, Professor Dai, you asked us to take a dagger and go to close combat with zombies and mutants, that is not fighting for life, that is dying."

  Professor Dai pursed his lips implicitly, as if he was laughing. After listening to Geng Zhiping's words, he took out three brain nuclei from the interlayer of the briefcase and handed them to Geng Zhiping to signal him to insert the brain nuclei into the grooves of the dagger handle. Geng Zhiping didn't talk nonsense, grabbed the brain nucleus and put it away, turned his wrist and waved the dagger again, this time his face changed.

As if he was a little unsure of his own judgment, Geng Zhiping moved the ceramic cup on the table to him again, and gently swung a knife at the ceramic cup. With an indescribable slight noise, the ceramic cup broke into two pieces. cut.

   Geng Zhiping's eyes widened, and he picked up the upper half of the fly out. The section was smooth and neat, and it was impossible to tell that it was cut with a dagger. Moreover, he only used three-point force just now!

"You, this! Wait." Geng Zhiping said a few words incoherently, and hurriedly lifted the sleeve of his left hand to reveal the rune bracelet inside. He took out three more brain nuclei and placed them on the bracelet. The dagger slashed hard at Liu Yuanzhou's solid wood desk.

  The cold light flashed, and there was a "click" sound when the knife light landed. The corner of the desk was missing a large piece, and the section was still smooth. Geng Zhiping was stunned. This is a dagger!

"When these mysterious runes come into play, some flaws in the production process can basically be ignored." Dai Xin raised his chin slightly, endured so many scornful eyes, and he was finally able to raise his eyebrows today, which is really happy," said Captain Geng. There is nothing wrong, no matter how sharp the dagger is, it is impossible for the warriors to use the dagger to fight zombies and mutants."

"But this is just the beginning, which proves that our thinking is correct. From now on, we will temporarily put aside the idea of ​​​​analyzing its working principle and focus on imitation and application. We believe that there will be new results soon. Since we can make The rune dagger proves that it is possible to develop a rune weapon!" Having said that, Dai Xin's cheeks turned red, and his assistants with dark circles under their eyes were also excited, "Team Geng, now we can make Rune daggers, you may not be able to make rune guns, rune cannons, and rune missiles in the future!"

"Let's not say that this time it's probably because of bad luck. Even if you do it in the future, it won't make much sense." Geng Zhiping put down his dagger, shook his head and poured cold water, "It's possible that you really don't understand the weapons and equipment of the modern army. Even if you make a rune gun and rune cannon that can increase the power of ammunition, it really doesn't make much sense to find more powerful equipment in the army."

"Do not."

It was not Dai Xin who objected, but Liu Yuanzhou. Geng Zhiping looked at Liu Yuanzhou in surprise.

"You have made great contributions to Yuanjiang and the country that others cannot match." Liu Yuanzhou gave Dai Xin a deep look and affirmed his work. "We need powerful weapons, such as cloud bombs and neutron bombs. , nuclear bombs, but the use of those weapons and the scope of destruction are too large, and the use of weapons cannot be arbitrarily used as the only measure of power and destructive power. Rune weapons are of great significance!"

   Geng Zhiping is a veteran who has been on the battlefield. After Liu Yuanzhou mentioned it, he quickly realized that the rune weapon is really not as tasteless as he said.

   It is true that no matter how much these mysterious runes can increase the power of weapons, there will definitely be more powerful weapons in the army, but those weapons may not be easy to carry or use.

  Destructive power has never been the only criterion for considering the quality of a weapon. If you want to make a weapon suitable for use in the battlefield, it not only requires a certain power, but also depends on other indicators and performance. For example, the reason why AK47 is famous is not because of its excellent workmanship and power, but because of its low price, low failure rate, easy maintenance, easy to learn and use, reliable performance, simple structure, easy to disassemble and reassemble. Even a recruit who has never been exposed to firearms can exert its power by firing a few shots. It is for these reasons that it has swept the world, becoming the most used weapon in local wars around the world.

   Then think about it the other way around, how much does a rune dagger and a rune bracelet add to an elite soldier's combat power? As far as close combat is concerned, it counts in multiples. You must know that zombies and mutants can not be used as targets at all times. When zombies and mutants suddenly appear around, or encounter enemies in a small and confined space, it is too late to use heavy weapons and can only take out tactical daggers or tactics In pistol melee combat, a rune weapon bonus is the difference between life and death.

If you think about it further, ace vanguard teams like Falcon and Dawn, composed of Awakeners and elite warriors, are often difficult to carry a large number of heavy weapons for long-distance raids when carrying out the task of hunting mutants, and at most light weapons. Machine guns, grenade launchers and flamethrowers. In this case, if you equip them with rune weapons, it will greatly improve their hunting efficiency and the survival rate of warriors.

   Think about it again, weapons with great power are often sophisticated and complex in structure, let's say a heavy artillery, and you have to rely on heavily trained artillerymen to use them correctly. And what about rune weapons? Ordinary soldiers can use it easily!

   It is no exaggeration to say that if Professor Dai and the others can really develop rune guns and rune cannons, and make them popular in the army, then the 258th Division can easily push the black domain and recover the entire far river!
