Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 486 The Brand New Conqueror
After the relevant parts were transported from Vaal Anvil to Qingyan Port, the assembly of the tank began in earnest.

The main gun was replaced with a double-linked [-]mm caliber gun. According to the combat report on the front line, even the war hydra known for its tenacious vitality could not withstand multiple salvos with this caliber gun.

Under the strong suggestion of the special envoy, the secondary gun was replaced with a large-caliber shotgun, because the flamethrower proposed by Imric previously used fuel mixed with a mineral unique to Lustria, plus the magical inscription on the barrel Will wear out with use.

In order to save this meager amount of money for His Majesty Magnus, he wanted as many cheap and practical weapons as possible.

The monkey version of the dragon blade is placed on the front of the car. Compared with the shipboard version on the dragon boat, its size and power are very different. Except for similar runes, it is absolutely impossible to have the ability to penetrate the black ark.

However, its power should not be underestimated. Just relying on the inertia carried by the swing, it can pierce a five-centimeter steel plate.

The assembled Conqueror is one-third larger than before. If it weren't for the fact that the steam power system of the medieval Leonardo Da Vinci was really difficult to crack and was miniaturized, this tank might be called the Caledonian Conqueror.

Except for the steam power system and the armored version with the Griffon logo on the side, all of them are replaced with new ones.

The commander in charge of the test entered the cabin with apprehension, as did the driver, gunner, calibrator, and engineer.

Although driving a tank is an extremely glorious thing, but it comes with extremely high risks. The small cabin will always allow the recoil of the artillery to be transmitted to the body without hindrance, and those with weaker physique may be shocked to death on the spot .

The engineer who is responsible for filling the steam system with fuel not only has to bear the recoil force of the recoil, but if the commander thinks that the battle situation is urgent and the pressure needs to be increased, the boiler may explode and become fragments together.

With a little luck, there is a Sigma protector. Even if you don’t experience such an unforgettable engineering error, you may be turned into a group of fragrant acquaintances by the high-temperature steam in a small space.

The captain of the car came to the predetermined position, and after the engineer filled it with coal, he pulled down the valve.

After waiting for a while, he found that the expected harsh roar did not appear, which made him frown. In many cases, the commander needs to rely on experience to judge the condition of the tank, so as to increase or decrease the pressure to adapt to the battlefield situation.

The technician in charge reminded from the outside, "The pressure gauge on your left!"

Some forgetful car captains looked to the left and found a clock-like device. The first and second intervals were green, the third was yellow, and the fourth and fifth intervals began to turn crimson.

After the valve is pulled down, the pointer has reached the position of one, climbing towards two.

"It's very simple, but it's also very effective." The commander praised this design in his heart. Even when experienced operators make mistakes in judgment, the complex environment of the battlefield determines that the judgment of pressure is often not accurate. The reason why tanks are loved and hated by people is that the extremely strong ability brings a lot of risks.

The solid iron wheel began to roll, and the exhaust pipe shaped like a griffin's head also emitted high-temperature steam.

"The artillery is aiming normally."

"The steam system is normal."

"The filling system is normal."

"The driving system is normal."

After conducting various operational tests, the Conqueror tank was finally ignited successfully.

Bronte, master engineer of Qingyan Port, nodded when he saw this. He had been sold to Imrik by Magnus, and he brought his family to this new world.

As Kale's multi-faceted technician, he has already analyzed this engineering tank, and if necessary, he can also present one to the Dragon Prince as a gift.

Bronte picked up the horn and began to order the crew to carry out the next test,
"Raise the pressure valve to fourth gear to test the ability to shoot on the move."

The commander saw that the indicated target was a discarded steel plate located 800 meters away, and pinched the symbol of a twin-tailed comet in his hand, praying to Sigma to bless the test to be successful.

The indicators given by the elves are too outrageous. At a speed of 500 miles per hour, it can still accurately hit a target [-] meters away, and it has the ability to fire twice within ten seconds, as well as head-on impact.

The pressure of the steam tank began to rise, but to the captain's surprise, it was not as stuffy as before, but rather cool?
Engineers who deliver fuel to the steam system will feel this change most. They are all prepared to meet the high-temperature steam leaking in the pipeline, but there is no leak at all.

The commander, who was confused, chose to use actual operations to test whether the tank was as the elf said, pull down the cover, enter the cabin, and start directing the driver to the target through the aiming hole.

"Bless Sigmar, what these elves have made will not kill us. Now, Conqueror go!"

With a speed of up to 48 kilometers per hour, the tank rolled forward with the roar of the pressure increase. This speed can already be compared with some inferior war horses, making the calibrator who is used to the slow speed of the tank somewhat unable to grasp the distance.

"Damn it, Theodore, what are you hesitating about, you are about to reach the shooting range!"

After being reprimanded by the commander, the calibrator gritted his teeth, chose not to calculate the influence of various factors during mobile shooting, and loudly signaled the gunner to light the fuze.

The two bundles of fuzes intertwined soon began to burn. The experienced crew members immediately curled up to prepare for the recoil when shooting. Only the driver with a strong physique was still gritting his teeth.

There was a violent roar when the artillery was fired, but nothing happened except for some white smoke in the cabin and the body shaking for a while.

This phenomenon made the driver's eyes widen. He didn't expect that the elf's target was actually achieved, and there was no need to consider the recoil force when moving at high speed.

Quickly turned his gaze to the target, two large holes had appeared in the discarded steel plate, and the rock behind was blown into pieces together.

"Continue to reload the shells, and shoot again at a range of 250 meters."

The commander did not pray to Sigma this time. Instead, he focused his attention on the target. A tank that can shoot at high speed, even if it lacks the impact ability, can still become a sharp weapon on the battlefield. Mobility is the biggest guarantee. .

The calibrator skillfully loaded the shells, and looked at the target with the commander when the fuze was lit.

Unexpectedly, the twin artillery did not blow out a big hole, and the target was still the original two holes, but the bodies of the commander and the calibrator began to tremble slightly, appearing extremely excited.

This kind of accuracy is still maintained during high-speed movement, and the elf magic is so terrifying.

The horn sounded again in the distance, "Press the red button next to the captain's seat."

The commander chose to follow this instruction and ordered the driver to rush directly to the target, stop shooting, and when the distance was 100 meters, he gritted his teeth and pressed the red button with the flame symbol.

The speed of the tank was a little uncontrollable at this moment, and the people in the cabin could feel a pushing force, and quickly reached out to grab the fixed bolt beside them.

In a burst of prayer and fear, a target eight meters high shrouded the tank. The shadow made it difficult for the driver to discern the direction, so he could only hold down the steering wheel.

A red halo appeared at the tail of the tank, like a beam of light hitting a target made of steel plates and rocks. The dragon blade cut through the solid shell effortlessly. With the weight and speed of the tank, it forcibly penetrated the target, and only a burst of steel was heard. The sound of tearing and rockfall.

The imperial special envoy in charge of this matter opened his mouth unconsciously, his eyes were extremely dull,
"Is this a tank?"
