Chapter 198: Goblin Mechanical Corps

Chapter 194 – Goblin Mechanical Corps
It was Owen’s decision to hire Roger’s squad, although they weren’t the only adventurers to enter the third floor of the ruins, they were the only ones who touched the key points of the ruins, so Owen needed them to lead the way in order to save time and minimize risks.

However, the main force of this operation was not the adventurers, but the newer Goblin Corps, no, it was now the Goblin Mechanical Corps.

The cultivation of the T-virus wasn’t difficult, the Flame Queen had perfect information somewhere, and after Owen exchanged some equipment, small-scale mass production was still no problem.

And the kobolds use T virus is not so troublesome, in the injection of low concentration of T virus to the stomach to fill the nutrient solution on the line, so the original kobold corps in the collective use of the weakened T virus after the completion of the magnificent transformation, coupled with the new equipment, the combat power enhancement is not a little bit of half a point.

Now the corps is still mainly mechanized, but the carrier is no longer the original emergency product, after the optimization of the design of the Flame Empress, coupled with the hands of the elves and monsters who can be called the eighth-grade pincers, now the use of the mechanical carrier has long become more perfect, even the equipment of the weapons are no longer those special plants.

Plant weapons are not bad, in fact, economic and environmental protection, necessary time can also eat, cost-effective good.

The only problem is that after the use of time to wait for the plant to grow to replenish the ammunition, such as coconut artillery, open a cannon, you have to wait for the coconut shells to grow out again, playing positional warfare relying on the number of advantages is okay, mounted on the carrier when the tank gun is much worse, can not open a cannon on the watering and fertilization and so on the cannon shells to grow out of the right, that is really let the enemy wait for the flowers are thankful.

Now the main carrier of the mechanical corps for the two-armed six-legged spider chariot, the volume is not large, the whole body of a large number of thorn spiders using tough and lightweight armor, coupled with a special structure, is very suitable for the ruins of the forest of such a complex environment.

The power is not diesel engine or something, but steam power using magic horn tree blocks as fuel.

As for why steam power, the main reason is that the magic horn tree block as fuel is really too good, not only can release the high temperature of melting steel, but also has the durability, in the case of controlling the oxygen of a load can continue to burn for a day and a night, to meet the daily needs and low-intensity battles, even if you increase the firepower of the fierce battles can be supported for half a day, compared to diesel or something I don’t know how much stronger.

Moreover, because of the improvement of processing precision, although it is a steam engine, the output power is not small, driving only small and medium-sized vehicle spider chariot is more than enough, and even have extra power to provide to the loaded weapons.

Powerful firepower brings a constant flow of steam, after a simple compression, can be used as a bullet spikes fired hundreds of meters away, although the rate of fire is difficult to increase, but already can replace the conventional firearms.

The Spider Chariot now comes in three models.

The first is the assault model with steam chain saws mounted on both arms and twin heavy steam nail guns and 40mm steam grenade guns mounted on the back.

The second is the fire support model with rapid-fire steam nail guns mounted on both arms and a 100mm short-barreled steam smoothbore gun mounted on the back.

The third type is the multi-purpose type with power claws on both arms and a semi-exposed platform on the back, which can be used to mount weapons as fire support, a crane arm as engineering machinery, or to transport soldiers and cargo.

Steam engine not only can be used as the power of the carrier, after miniaturization can also provide assistance to the soldiers, so that the era of carrying flower pots to fight is gone, replaced by steam guns connected to the power backpack.

However, the temperature of the power backpack will increase rapidly when the firepower is increased to provide more sufficient steam, even after many insulation treatments it is still not enough, so the only way is to fix the steam power backpack on the exoskeleton, and then the user will be equipped with the exoskeleton.

In this way, the user not only obtains additional power output through the steam-powered exoskeleton, but also solves the problem of heat insulation. Only this steam powered exoskeleton is a bit simple, the defects are not small, the steam is always bubbling, even if it is not enough, in the event of a battle you have to pressurize it in advance, so Owen does not intend to equip it on a large scale, at present, only the Goblin Mechanical Corps use it, because they are mainly stationed in the underground relics and the forests, these places are very sensitive to the flames and the explosions, it’s not as convenient as a steam powered weapon.

On the day of departure, the Spider Chariot was filled with fuel and water, the Bear Goblins as infantry also helped each other to fix the steam-powered backpack with boiled water on the exoskeleton bracket on the back, and opened the valve after tightening the steam pipe, with the infusion of high temperature steam, the exoskeleton was also stretched up to provide additional power, but most of all it was still to provide power to the Steam Nailer which was assembled by the metal pipe and metal bottle in the hands of the Bear Goblins. Power.

The Goblin Mechanical Corps was ready to go, and the adventurers also gathered.

This time, there were almost two to three hundred adventurers participating in this operation, and most of them were ordinary adventurers, so even though the pay for this group mission wasn’t high, they were happy to make the trip.

The adventurers were not as honorable as they thought, every year, a large number of new adventurers joined the business and in the end, only one or two out of ten of them were able to stay in the business or live to see the day, and most of them were ordinary adventurers, that is to say, they were good with their hands and had some experience, but very few of them had touched the transcendent realm.

The only elite adventurers are the real transcendental professionals, but also the elite of the whole industry, but the number is really not much, otherwise how is the elite.

“Start distributing the supplies.” General Berserk Beast ordered with his head down to the goblins holding the list of supplies at his feet.

The Goblins were even shorter than the Goblins, but the shrewdness revealed in their eyes made people not dare to underestimate them, and upon hearing this, they immediately commanded the Goblins to distribute the supplies that had been prepared long ago to the adventurers who were full of curiosity.

Every adventurer has not received a lot of quests, and the rewards they receive are varied, from eggs to antiques, spanning a wide range, but this is the first time they have seen something handed out just after receiving a quest, so they obediently lined up to receive the supplies.

The supplies were a backpack, made of a very thick fabric, very sturdy, a good thing for adventurers who went out from time to time.

Opening the backpack, at the top were three brick-sized kraft paper packages, opening one, inside were three compressed blocks wrapped side by side in oil paper, respectively, dry food blocks compressed with fried wheat flour mixed with butter, meat blocks compressed with meat floss, and dry vegetable blocks.

These things are thrown into the pot and cooked, completely able to meet the energy needed by an adult male for a day, and because of the added sugar, salt and spices, the flavor is not bad.

This kind of dry food is sold in the store in Green Shade Town, the price is quite cheap, adventurers like to buy one or two as a stockpile, because of the small footprint, resistant to storage, in case of being trapped where, but it can be a lifesaver.

In addition to three days of dry food, there is also a metal water bottle, a sleeping bag, a first aid kit.

It wasn’t a lot of stuff, but it was all essential goodies for adventurers, and every adventurer was satisfied with it, and their morale improved a lot when they set out.
