Doomsday Code

Chapter 1001 Understanding the Northern Wilderness

As the year draws to a close, even in the Northern Wilderness, a region close to the desert, the cold of winter can be felt.

Dean lifted the curtain and came in, extinguishing the magic crystal that had been burning all night. Chen Cheng, who had been sitting there reading documents all night, then realized that it was already dawn.

"Is it dawn yet? I didn't expect to be watching all night."

Chen Cheng put down the documents in his hand and stretched.

At this moment, Dean, who had put away the magic crystal, spoke up:

"Your Majesty, why don't you go wash up and have breakfast first? I'm going back to the Kingdom of Moss with a caravan today. Your Majesty, you can come with us for a trip."

"It will also be easier to see which spot along the way to expose this route."

After Dean's reminder, Chen Cheng remembered that he had sent Dean and the four brothers, including Ada, to the Kingdom of Moss.

Things were too rushed yesterday, and he forgot to ask many questions.

Thinking that he would soon be returning to the Kingdom of Moss, Chen Cheng felt a sense of urgency, like a wanderer returning home.

Thinking of Huidun, Finnie, Melinda, and Isabel, Chen Cheng really couldn't wait any longer.

"Really? Then I'd better hurry up."

With that, Chen Cheng got up and walked out.

After washing up and having breakfast with the soldiers in the camp, Chen Cheng found Noah and the others playing with cannons at the firing range.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a special weapon as artillery.

It can hit so far without being powered by magic, and it can also cause tremendous power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Especially for Lifia, the newly promoted legendary archmage, she felt that this weapon was about to overturn all the common sense about fire magic she had learned.

However, she also learned a lot.

For example, to increase the range of her fireballs, she could perhaps learn about the principles of cannon fire to further expand her attack range.

Chen Cheng wasn't as excited about the ordinary artillery pieces at the firing range as Noah and the others; on the contrary, he was quite interested in the anti-aircraft gun on the rotating platform.

"His Majesty."

When the anti-aircraft gunner saw Chen Cheng approaching, he immediately gave a military salute.

Chen Cheng returned the salute, and then asked:

"How is this anti-aircraft gun? You are its operators. During peacetime training and wartime use, if you find any shortcomings, you can record them and then report them to your battalion commander, regimental commander, or even political instructor."

They will report all your suggestions during use to the technical department, and the technical department can then develop a new model to address the issues you raised.

Chen Cheng certainly didn't believe that weapon designs that were effective in his previous life would still be effective in this world, such as the cannons at the beginning.

When he first started working in Huidun City, he experimented with various calibers, but with the participation of Xiao Dun and others, almost all of those small-caliber cannons were abandoned and replaced with the heavy-caliber cannons that he considered cumbersome in his previous life.

This is because this world has things like space bags, which can greatly solve the problem of the difficulty in moving large-caliber artillery.

Besides being expensive, large-caliber artillery is also difficult to move.

Therefore, after overcoming these problems, the exhilarating feeling and destructive value of using large-caliber artillery to bombard the ground is something that small-caliber artillery cannot achieve.

Therefore, Chen Cheng only gave some suggestions on the direction and mechanical transmission of the anti-aircraft gun. As for the physical sample, this was the first time he had seen it.

However, judging from this, the first batch of anti-aircraft guns is very similar to the old anti-aircraft guns in his memory.

Then Chen Cheng asked some more professional questions about gunnery. Just as he was having a lively conversation with the gunners, Dean, who was already prepared, came over.

"Your Majesty, so you're still here. It's getting late, and we'll be setting off soon."

Chen Cheng patted the gunner on the shoulder and said:

"I understand what you're saying, but don't worry, there will be a new improved version soon, and the problem of tracking rotation speed you mentioned will be resolved to some extent."

The first batch of anti-aircraft guns still used the traditional mechanical transmission system that Yurikin was good at, but this meant that locking onto and tracking the enemy had to be done manually.

The gunner had just realized this was the problem.

Chen Cheng, on the other hand, thought of the detection magic array used by the military in this world. Perhaps the two could be combined to create a radar similar to an otherworldly version.

This wasn't just Chen Cheng talking nonsense; he had actually seen this technology before.

This technology was used to project video frequency information over a radius of hundreds of miles onto the Great Wall, a relic of ancient civilization.

It's unlikely he can replicate the technology used on the Great Wall now, but there's still hope of creating a similar prototype.

This is just like the radar in his previous life. Early radars were not as advanced as those in later generations, nor were they as difficult to manufacture.

Moreover, they now possess the precursor technology for this prototype – the military camp reconnaissance array.

This is similar to the front-end technology of radar, which transmits and receives electromagnetic waves.

At this moment, Dean approached, and Chen Cheng ended his conversation with the gunner and the others, then greeted Noah and the others.

"Stop playing around, let's get ready to go. When we get there, I'll get you some better magic guns to try out."

Hearing that they were about to depart, Noah and his companions finally let go of the gunners of those cannons.

Although they were all very strong, three of the five were just brutes who relied on their physical strength, so learning to operate cannons and calculate the firing trajectory was really difficult for them.

Only the two mages, Lyfia and Coconut, learned how to operate the cannon.

"Xi Yu is gone."

Noah saw that the Warrior Xiyu was still fiddling with the cannon in front of her, and he called out to her.

Hearing Noah's call, Xi Yu finally came to her senses. Then she saw that she had crushed the artillery sight mount with her own hand, and her pretty face immediately showed a look of helplessness. Then she looked at the gunner next to her.

The gunner had been quite frightened by Xi Yu, this seemingly quiet and gentle girl.

Unexpectedly, after several attempts to hit the target failed, the force he used increased with each hit, eventually bending the special steel frame of the glasses. This was simply outrageous.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, the gunner put his hand to his forehead, then waved his hand and said:

"You go ahead, I'll handle things here."

Xi Yu also felt very apologetic. She bowed to the gunner to apologize, then left a platinum-grade magic crystal as compensation before leaving.

The gunner had also learned some basic maintenance skills; the frame was just deformed from her squeezing it, and all she had to do was knock it back into place.

Even so, he did not keep the magic crystal, which was worth thousands of gold coins outside, but handed it over as compensation for the losses incurred by Noah and his men in firing the cannon.
