Chapter 567 You're not human, are you?
With the development of metallurgy and forging technology in Dayuan, the hardware bottleneck that restricted the production of the "big gun" sniper rifle was removed. However, due to the severe shortage of skilled firearms craftsmen, the production of the "big gun" was still maintained at around ten per month.
Qin Mo was not in a hurry to increase the production of the "big gun" because this kind of sniper rifle must be made with great care. With the current level of industrial technology, the accuracy can only be guaranteed by the craftsmanship of gunsmiths. If the master craftsmen were rushed, even the slightest oversight could lead to a significant drop in the hit rate, which would be a loss.
Moreover, there is an even more important reason: Qin Mo does not have that many "non-human" subordinates.
The "Great Gun" has undergone several improvements, greatly increasing its power. Given the right opportunity, a Yellow Realm expert can be taken down with a single shot. Without counter-sniper awareness, a Profound Realm expert could easily be headshot, and even a Ruthless Earth Realm expert could be taken down with a single shot.
However, the drawbacks of deliberately pursuing great power are also obvious. Due to the limitations of various technologies, the most powerful new "big gun" in Dayuan is nearly two meters long and weighs more than 100 kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary people to carry, not to mention the abnormal recoil caused by the 20 mm caliber. Even cultivators in the human realm have difficulty controlling its full power.
The gunnery also began to test-produce a 14.5mm caliber "big gun". The recoil was reduced, but the lethality, muzzle velocity and effective range were also reduced. Unless the enemy was not quick enough to react and was hit in the head, it could not cause fatal damage to Xuan Realm experts. When encountering Di Realm experts, they could only quietly go around, otherwise the sniper would definitely die.
"Lady Helaly, would you be interested in... becoming a sniper?"
"What is... a sniper?"
"Oh! Generally speaking... it's about sneaking up on the enemy, quietly finding their Rakshasa commander, and seizing the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop! Or finding the commander in the enemy's attacking ranks and killing him!"
Qin Mo tried to be as tactful as possible. If she directly said that snipers were only good at ambushing and stabbing people, who knew what Hailali would think?
“Your Excellency Qin Mo, we also considered ambush and assassination of the commander of the Legion of the Dead, but there are orc shamans in their ranks who are very sensitive to the strong. Only His Majesty Shia could sneak in silently.” Hela Li did not feel disgusted by the act of ambush, but simply stated that she did not have the ability to secretly approach the Legion of the Dead.
"Oh? How far can their shamans sense?"
"If I'm careful, I can get within a thousand paces, but it's impossible to get any closer. These orc shamans have unique sensing methods, and the current Rakshasa commander is also well protected. Those knights and orcs would rather die themselves than let them escape!"
Qin Mo nodded and looked at Helali, saying, "A thousand paces is enough. We don't have enough excellent snipers right now, so we need your help!"
"You're too kind, Lord Qin Mo. As long as it's for the sake of killing the enemy, I'm naturally willing to do my duty!"
"In that case, I will inform Shia as soon as possible to issue you sniper rifles. If you have any questions, you can ask Captain Cui. He is our commander's top sniper."
Qin Mo once asked Shia and learned that among the powerful members of the sea tribe, there were liberals and imperialists, and Hailali was Shia's staunch supporter.
Currently, there are only four experts above the Yellow Realm in the army who can use the new type of large gun at long range. Including Qin Mo and Kaihime, there are only six people. In the desert with a radius of thousands of miles, who knows where the enemy will appear from? Even if they find the enemy through hot air balloons, without suitable snipers, there is no way to launch a sneak attack or ambush.
The next day, Helali received a message from the Sea Queen, informing her that due to the needs of the war, she was temporarily assigned a "big gun," which would be handed over to the Sea Royal Court for unified management after the war.
"Your Excellency Qin Mo, His Majesty Shia has allocated one... 'big gun' to both me and Bona, and he wants me to retrieve it from you..."
"Yes! Kai... give those two large spears to your two sea creature friends!"
Kaihime carried a large box in each hand and threw it on the ground with a "thump...thump." Then she stood behind Qin Mo and coldly looked at the two sea creature women. Her frosty expression was like a husky looking at its dog bowl, with Qin Mo being the big bone in the bowl.
When Shia took things from Qin Mo, Kaihime couldn't say anything, since the two of them were not much different from Qin Mo. But what kind of thing was it that two sea tribe women were also eyeing Qin Mo?
Hyla was alright; she had a gentle nature and an elegant demeanor, only occasionally revealing a hint of admiration. But that blonde Bona practically had "I want to have sex with you" written all over her face.
Bona has a girlish face similar to Shia's, but her figure is even more alluring than Shia's. Kaihime knows how tempting this type of woman is to Qin Mo.
"I believe Shia has already told you that this gun is not a great threat to super-level powerhouses, but it is too dangerous for ordinary people, so it is a controlled weapon and will need to be turned in after the war ends."
This was something Qin Mo and Xi Ya had agreed upon; they couldn't allow such a powerful assassination weapon to fall into civilian hands, and it had to be strictly controlled.
"Your Excellency Qin Mo, this rifle is truly magnificent. I have never seen such a beautiful rifle before. Could you teach Bona how to use it?"
"Ahem! Captain Cui will be in charge of teaching you how to use this kind of gun!"
"But Commandant Cui is very busy. He can't possibly teach both of us by himself!"
Bona has the face of a young girl, but she is actually a little monster who is over a hundred years old. When Qin Mo saw her, the fleeting look of admiration in his eyes did not escape her notice. Taking advantage of His Majesty Shia's absence, she wanted to test just how charming she was.
