It’s not that the strange beast cannot be cleaned, but that it takes too much energy and takes too much time to clean the strange beast. Instead of having that energy, it also means occupying the rest of the territory and developing the rest of the territory.
Wang Chao naturally had already considered this.
The industrial area was built, the lathe was assembled, and the forging house was built as well, so weapons could be created.
These weapons are firearms. The firearms chosen by Wang Chao are products after superbrain calculations and are a large-caliber single-shot rifle.
After several days of familiarity, craftsmen can skillfully use lathes to make various parts of the firearm. After these parts are manufactured, they are transported to another workshop for assembly. After assembly, a rifle is manufactured.
There are two workshops, one for producing bullets and the other for producing gunpowder.
As long as you have the skills, it is not difficult to make firearms. You must know that on earth, as long as there are materials, many people can make earth guns by hand.
With the technology provided by Wang Chao, coupled with the lathe and high-quality fine iron, guns can naturally be created.
Speaking of which, thanks to the development of iron smelting technology in this world, the materials used to make firearms do not need to be refined by Wang Chao himself. Just buy the materials before coming.
In the long run, this is naturally not possible, but in the short term, purchasing materials is the most labor-saving way.
After another half a month, the craftsmen became familiar with this process and could skillfully manufacture parts and bullets.
At this time, with the production capacity here, thirty rifles and five thousand bullets can be manufactured every day. In another month, the output can be doubled.
The rifle made has been fired into the hands of the two hundred new recruits, allowing the recruits to learn to shoot.
Wang Chao has tried this single-shot rifle. Its ability to pierce armor can cause fatal damage to first-level alien beasts and also poses great threat to second-level alien beasts.
Among the strange beasts, the first and second-level strange beasts are the largest number and the basis of strange beasts.
This single-shot rifle can pose a threat to first- and second-level alien beasts, and is enough to deal with a dense group of alien beasts.
The strongest strange beast in this area is only a third-level strange beast. Wang Chao has never encountered a fourth-level strange beast. The third-level is the most powerful strange beast he has ever encountered.
However, the number of third-level alien beasts is relatively rare. Most of the alien beasts are first-level, and even second-level animals are relatively small.
Although these strange beasts seem to be of low level, in fact, strange beasts pose too great a threat to ordinary people. If one first-level strange beast rushes into an unprepared village, it will be enough to massacre the whole village.
Moreover, there are too many strange beasts in the first and second level. If you rely on Wang Chao alone, you can't kill them and you can't defend them.
It is impossible for Wang Chao to stay here to defend.
Even this kind of rifle is of ordinary model. In the process of making firearms, Wang Chao is still trying to improve and strengthen these firearms, and the firearms are more powerful.
Time passed quickly, and another two months passed. At this time, Wang Chao also had a firearm unit of 500 people on hand.
The 500-man troops dare not say that this territory is a great place, with extremely rich resources, including mountains, forests, water and mines.
On that mountain, there are many trees and rich minerals, including sulfur and saltpeter ore. There are mines here. In the future, sulfur and saltpeter do not need to go out to buy sulfur and saltpeter, and you can collect and refine it yourself.
Not far from the territory, there are iron ore only more than a hundred miles away. If there are iron ore, there are metals. In the future, steel can be built by itself.
All around the territory are black soil with amazing fertility, and planting crops here will definitely make great gains.
This is a treasure land, but it has not been developed yet.
Good is good, but there are also shortcomings. Otherwise, it would have been occupied by people long ago.
First, the transportation here is inconvenient and the geography is remote. It will take at least half a month to get from the city built by Wang Chao to the nearest human village and town. The journey is too long.
Second, it is too dangerous. There are few people here. The mountains and dense forests are high and the mountains are dense, which is a paradise for strange beasts. There are strange beasts everywhere, and ordinary people cannot live here at all.
How elite, but he is definitely a qualified soldier. He can shoot skillfully and shoot accurately. He has been trained in actual combat and has killed strange beasts. He will not be in a hurry when facing the raid of strange beasts.
At this level, this army can be used.
After counting it, Wang Chao has been in the territory for four months and he will finally get rewards for his efforts. Now is the time to gain.
Five hundred soldiers left 100 people to defend the city, and the remaining 400 people, plus a transport team composed of 300 farmers, about 700 people walked out of the city and headed towards the wilderness.
During the past few months, Wang Chao did not stay in vain, but instead took his attendant Clark to survey the terrain around him, surveying it in circles, and finding out all the surrounding situation clearly.
It is clear where there are strange beasts, where there are resources, where there are paths, and where to garrison them.
Especially the distribution of strange beasts, Wang Chao investigated them very clearly.
With an understanding of the distribution of strange beasts, Wang Chao then led his troops to set off.
The dense and neat gunfire sounded, and the group of strange beasts running in front were immediately knocked to the ground in groups, and at least thirty strange beasts and wolves were beaten to death on the spot.
“Free shooting.”
When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately put all their energy into shooting.
One magazine has thirty rounds of bullets, and it is a single rifle, which can definitely be used for a lot of time.
When all the soldiers in the first row had finished shooting a bullet, all the strange beasts and wolves that rushed over were killed on the spot. Only a few strange beasts and wolves running behind them ran away when they saw that the situation was not good.
The number of strange beasts and wolves that ran away would not exceed twenty, but unfortunately, the leading third-level strange beast wolf king was also run away by it.
The Wolf King of the Beast was also shot more than a dozen times, but its skin was too hard and thick, and the bullet could only break the skin.
Wild beasts are afraid of people. Once there are too many people, the movement will be big, and even if the tigers encounter many people, they will be scared away.
Different beasts are different. Different beasts are not afraid of too many people, just like lions are definitely not afraid of too many sheep flocks. This is absolutely not true, because in the eyes of lions, the more flocks, the better, and the more flocks, the more food they are.
In the eyes of strange beasts, the same is true for humans. The more people there are, the more they attract the attacks of strange beasts.
What's more, most of the soldiers in Wang Chao's team are ordinary people, and have not yet entered the class level. They do not pose a threat in the eyes of strange beasts, and are food-like existences.
The attack first came from a pack of wolves, a huge pack of wolves with at least three hundred trees, densely swarming, which was very scary.
Looking at the pack of strange beasts and wolves that were swarming in, the soldiers were frightened. Although they had already undergone actual training, they had never encountered such a large number of wolves during training.
Fortunately, their training was quite standardized. Although they were shocked and the team was a little panicked, no one finally became a deserter.
Wang Chao did not speak, and in the team, the leading officer immediately shouted loudly: "Hold the gun in the front row."
The soldiers were divided into three rows, with guns raised in front and two rows prepared in the back.
Hearing the officer's order, the soldiers in the first row immediately raised the rifle in their hands neatly.
"aim."
Soldiers aim.
The wolves were getting closer and closer, and everyone became nervous.
Even Wang Chao was a little nervous. He was not afraid of these wolves, but was worried about his soldiers. This was the first time he led his troops to engage in a large-scale battle. I don’t know what the combat effect would be in the actual battle.
The wolf pack entered the range of fifty meters, and the officer shouted suddenly: "Shoot."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
, I couldn't kill it, and after I hit it, I was still run away by it.
Wang Chao let out a long sigh: "Yes, this is the army he needs."
After the battle, the soldiers, led by the officers, cleaned the battlefield in an orderly manner. Some soldiers were responsible for the alert. The soldiers who had just fought immediately rested, and the rest continued to advance to clear the battlefield.
Wang Chao looked at everything in front of him and nodded secretly again.
While the corpses of the strange beasts and wolves were clearing behind, the vanguard team in front had already fought with the strange beasts again. The dense gunfire sounds came again, and there were also screams of the strange beasts before they died.
Facing groups of soldiers holding rifles, even as powerful as strange beasts, they will have the fate of being killed.
However, strange beasts are strange beasts, and they are definitely not allowed to be taken lightly. Fighting against strange beasts, casualties from the troops are inevitable.
The first soldier killed by a strange beast died under the poisonous fangs of a strange beast, the poisonous snake was hidden in the cave in the grass. When the soldiers passed by, they appeared from the cave and quickly bit the soldier. The poisonous snake was too venomous and he died before he could save the soldiers.
What is even more terrifying is that the poisonous snake did not escape after biting people, but instead bit the other soldiers around him. Finally, after biting the two, they were shot and killed by the other soldiers.
A poisonous snake took the lives of two soldiers.
Afterwards, it was a first-level iron-headed spotted snake. It was not of high level, but it was a highly toxic creature. Even if Wang Chao was bitten by it, he would still have to take half of his life.
This is the power of the strange beast.
The soldiers have guns, and long-range attacks are absolutely powerful, but they are not enough in melee combat.
After all, these soldiers are just ordinary people. Although they have been trained, they are very difficult to face powerful beasts in close combat.
Wang Chao suddenly thought of the werewolf Diro from the Crodira planet who was engaged in interstellar trade with him. When he purchased weapons and equipment, he not only bought hot weapons, but also cold weapons, sword armor, and hot weapons for ranged attacks, while cold weapons were used for melee combat.
The planet where Wang Chao is now also has some similarities with the Star of Crodila, and perhaps he should learn from him.
In addition to long-range power, you must also have protective power for melee combat.
Long-range firearms can be used to make firearms by themselves, but melee combat is more troublesome. Cultivating melee warriors is not an easy task. It is more expensive to hire them, but now it is not allowed to have this condition.
There is no other way, so the soldiers can only be more careful.
In fact, in the fight with the strange beasts, Wang Chao also discovered that when facing large-sized strange beasts, they were easy to deal with because of guns in hand. The small-sized strange beasts were actually those who really threatened the lives of soldiers.
Poisonous insects, snakes and ants, these small-sized alien beasts are the most dangerous.
Fighting is damaged, but after fighting, it is also the easiest for people to grow. After fighting, many of the shortcomings of the firearms troops can be seen.
First of all, rifles alone are not enough, firepower is not enough for long-range attacks, and artillery is also needed. There is no need for large-caliber artillery, and small-caliber field artillery is enough. A super-brained design of a mortar, similar to the bullet-dropping barrel used by the Japanese at the time. This weapon has many advantages, lightweight and can walk with both hands. It has a range of not only, but can reach three kilometers. In field battles, this range is sufficient.
In addition to range, there are also melee combat.
