Utopia

"Are you pregnant? If not, I will continue to be busy in the dining hall of the Chamber of Commerce."

"What? You want to ride on my head? Siri, please be careful, he is very powerful at night, be careful if he makes you incontinent."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I've never given birth to a child... But are you really pregnant?"

"No."

Of course, Saugen, who was on a rare trip home, didn't listen to Beth and Siri's bickering, because after exchanging some things with the housekeeper, he started to use the communication pendant to continue to communicate with All Might.

"I thought you, the mayor, had forgotten me..."

"How is that possible? I just heard from my housekeeper here, are you doing some ammunition technology reform here?"

"To be precise, the technology of caseless ammunition has been updated again. Of course, the ammunition used in cannons has been completely caseless. The key now is the firearms. The working environment of firearms is special, and we now have money and some new ideas. It’s time to put it into practice.”

"So you also came up with a battle rifle?"

"Well, you may not believe it. Do you still remember an underground fortress that you fought in before? There was a blueprint for a battle rifle there. The Qiler battle rifle is exactly the product of Lyman's reverse engineering. "

"Now that you are telling me about that fortress, what impressed me most is the weapons used by their rebels. They all use beams or light balls."

"So we kept the beam and sold the ball of light to Eri."

"then……"

"Sigh. Our industrial base is still not enough, not to mention the shortage of relevant technical employees. There is no way for me to continue to work on the lightweight of beam weapons. From my own point of view, the lifespan of gunpowder weapons is estimated to be very long. So long that you and I can’t even see when we will retire completely.”

"Oh well."

"I actually asked Lyman if she could reduce the weight of the Qiler combat rifle. However, there is no way, and the guys above don't really want the Qiler combat rifle to be mass-produced."

"Why? To get a quota or..."

"It's just a matter of quota. In the meantime, do you remember about the pump-action rifle?"

"Remember. I have members of the expedition team here who use that thing."

"I don't know if you, Sogen, have heard the news. The top hopes that the cavemen can only be equipped with this Xiaohe pump-action rifle."

"The name is okay."

"You have to know that over in the Old Continent, the Iron Fist Empire, which has the strongest national power and the highest level of development, is still using manual revolving rifles. We are relatively advanced here and don't let everyone use manual firearms from the beginning."

Speaking of this, Ouma couldn't help but laugh. And Thorgen couldn't help but nodded, because the opponents that the Negan Kingdom now faces are except the Orchid Republic in the northwest corner of the New World, which is equipped with gunpowder weapons. In other places where there seems to be civilization, cold weapons still dominate.

Using hot weapons to deal with cold weapons... Coupled with the blessing of Negan's kingdom and magical power, Sogen can only imagine how miserable these guys who use cold weapons will die.

What's more, the troops of the Negan Kingdom and the civilian forces did not give up the training of cold weapons just because of the existence of hot weapons. On the contrary, after the battle of Blackwater Town, the Negan Kingdom has a compulsory fighting skill called stabbing, and the martial arts families among the people have their own unique martial arts.

Therefore, it is nonsense to say that the melee combat skills of warriors in the cold weapon era are better than those in the hot weapon era. Warriors in the hot weapon era also know close combat skills, and are even more powerful than the flashy and flashy cold weapon era warriors.

Scenes such as a fair and just duel between two swordsmen, each using elegant and graceful swordsmanship, are basically difficult to see in the Negan Kingdom.

If so, where can it be found? Can it be seen? That should be the arena of the military academy. Even if Sogen has never been to this place, he can guess that a military academy that pursues both civil and military skills must have sword skills or stick skills for teaching.

Of course, whether the teachers and students of the military academy use designated standard knives or not, it depends on whether they can bring art into the school. Because some families have martial arts knowledge, such as the family where Manco was originally born, this is the type where certain combat skills are inherited.

"Manual firearms are simply cheaper than automatic weapons in terms of cost, so they can be installed on a large scale by the Iron Fist Empire. But we are different. The number of troops in our kingdom is limited. Even if the entire army changes its equipment, it is not a big deal. Bone thing."

"That's because you Sogen didn't really serve in the military. Don't mention it now. Once formed, some habits in the military and police departments are difficult to correct. Like the previous 2 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, and it can be used on both Android and Apple] .] Millimeter caliber machine guns, this thing still has a lot of supporters in the army, even in the Orchid Republic in the north, they are very courageous in not wanting the weapons and equipment we sell to them. "

"What's the meaning?"

"Sogen, this Orchid Republic will definitely become the overlord of the New World in the future."

"The overlord of one side..."

Thorgen didn't like the term overlord very much. However, in the New World, even if he didn't want to say it, let alone admit it, the natives of the New World did not hesitate to attack towns in the Negan Kingdom in order to compete for hegemony.

It's just that the military power of the Negan Kingdom is strong enough to prevent these guys who are still in the zombie invasion from succeeding.

"So, Sogen, do you have time to continue to be a weapons and equipment designer?"

"No time at the moment. But I will consider it."

After talking to Omer, Sogen couldn't help but sigh. Because he knew in his heart that pump-action rifles were made for cheapness and to fool the public.

If it weren't for the excellent performance of the 8×53mm rifle bullet, he was very worried that the expedition team would have a problem with the cavemen.

But...

With the development of beam technology, he believes that the future of the Negan Kingdom will no longer continue to rely on gunpowder weapons.

"Have you finished talking?"

"Beth, have you finished talking to Si Rui? Don't worry about me."

"Then you sleep alone tonight..."

"Wait? Sleep alone?"

"Didn't I say I don't need to worry about you? So, don't think too much tonight."

"Don't, uh..."

"Hmph! Let me do it tonight."

"Thank you."

"If you don't have enough, you can call one more."

"Huh?"

"What? Don't want?"

"Then let Si Rui come over to play."

Although Beth's words were thorny, Sogen still understood it. After all, as a husband, he would be lonely and empty without a partner when sleeping at night.

So he was looking forward to the rare opportunity to sleep with a beautiful woman, after all, he was still young...
