Iron Revolution (2)
As mentioned before, the technological development in this world is incredibly disproportionate.
Thanks to the existence of magic, even if items such as refrigerators and air conditioners exist, it is almost impossible to move huge machines with ‘magic’.
No matter how much magic you have, you can’t move a machine that requires 100 energy with 1 energy.
If Einstein had come to this world, there are many things that would hold him by the back of his neck and fall, but on the contrary, there are many things that are no different from the Earth’s formula.
Due to ‘magic’ and ‘mana’, the diversity of physics has only increased to the point of overflowing, but the part that is a kind of ‘truth’ does not change.
Therefore, it means that they are well aware that a certain amount of ‘power’ is required to move a huge object.
“Uh… Cool! Cool!”
The dwarf commander coughed and caught his dizzy spirit. A soldier who stabbed his own people with a spear, but he was also trained to defend a country.
He was able to hold onto his mind until the end, even if he collapsed from the impact of the shells. He shook his head vigorously somehow and lifted his head slowly.
“Ugh…”
“My, my arm… where did my arm go…”
It’s a pity that he didn’t get hit directly by the shells, and the other soldiers don’t make sense.
Those who have already become cold corpses lying down are yangban. There were dwarves whose eyes were injured by shards, and there were those whose limbs were blown away by the unique firepower of shells.
There is a perception that cannons are weak compared to magic, but that is a misconception. In terms of firepower and penetration, there are only a handful of magic comparable to cannons.
Magic is used only in the military because of its variety, but it is difficult to keep up with cannons only in terms of ‘destructive power’.
Isn’t there a record that humans with firepower used cannons well all the time even in tribal wars? Of course, the source of the cannon was Machina.
‘But this is…’
more powerful Much more than the cannon he had just fired.
Originally, the shells were in the form of huge iron balls. There are high-explosives that use the explosive power of gunpowder, but you have to calculate the time well.
And the situation now unfolding seems to have hit such a high-explosive bomb. There is only one shot, and even if the damage is severe, it is too severe.
win!
The dwarf commander looked at the unit that had been messed up with a single shot, and then quickly turned his head. I heard the sound of a monster snoring hard in my ear.
However, there were no monsters where he turned his head. Instead, a steel monster with a formidable force comparable to that of an ogre is holding on.
‘What the hell is that…’
In this world, not even a steam locomotive, not even a magic locomotive, appeared.
In a few months, key figures from all over the world will gather for a test drive, but in other words, it has not been revealed properly.
I just looked at the steam locomotive described in Xenon’s biography and wondered if there was such a thing.
He had never heard of a monster whose body was covered in steel. As a commander with a history of dealing with various enemies, especially monsters for decades, this is the first form he has ever seen in his life.
‘Is that thing moving?’
To be honest, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it with my own eyes. It feels like the common sense I’ve known so far is being shattered.
It would be better if it were a monster. In his lifetime, he has encountered countless monsters, and has even defeated an entity much larger than himself.
The same goes for the ogres, who are known to be feared by the general public. When we first met, I felt numb, but as time went on, I got used to it.
However, in the present meeting with the steel fortress, that feeling seems to be vividly reproduced. Fear as if facing an unfathomable monster.
Can you really break that? A monster whose body is covered in steel? Will swords and spears work?
Kurururr-
The steel monster that destroyed the troops with a single shot starts moving its wheels. The ground shakes like an earthquake.
The dwarf commander was able to quickly wake up from the vibration. It rotted as much as it rotted, but the loyalty to the king did not disappear.
The moment that monster leaves, Machina will be in uncontrollable chaos.
“Mo, everyone, come to your senses! Are there any healthy people?”
“I, I am!”
“Me too!”
Fortunately, only one cannon shot was fired, so there are still members of the unit. It wasn’t that pretty, though.
But it doesn’t matter. The commander hastily ordered another cannon to be prepared. The cannon that had just fired was destroyed by the attack of the steel monster.
Coog gurg-
Whether the troops on the verge of dying or not, the steel monster proceeded heavily. As if the soldiers in front didn’t care.
As a result of buying such time, the reloading of the reserve cannons was all over. How did the other cannons finish reloading?
Battlefield cannons are inherently blatantly slow to reload, but all actions are accelerated in the face of death threats.
When the reload was finished, the commander shouted at the steel monster approaching this way.
“firing!!!”
Kwagwagwang!!
Not just one, but three shells are fired at the same time. The commander rubbed his nose, feeling the smell of gunpowder coming in, and smiled a fishy smile.
Even if it is a steel monster reminiscent of an ogre, the shells are…
Tidying!
“······uh?”
“ah?”
what did i see The soldiers, including the commander, had no choice but to be stunned by the situation unfolding before their eyes.
The steel monster is slowly approaching. It’s like laughing at what just happened.
The firepower of the cannon takes great damage even for the thick-skinned ogres. Instead, I don’t use cannons when hunting monsters.
Because of its unique reload speed, accuracy, and price, it was better for people to hunt by themselves.
In any case, the shells that were useful even to the ogres didn’t work for the steel monster in front of them.
it’s all thrown out. Not even a single shot did any significant damage.
“What is that…”
“How can the cannon…”
“Ahhhh!!”
When even the cannons they trusted didn’t work, the dwarf soldiers quickly became terrified. Some turn their backs on them and start running away.
Then, the monster of steel turned and moved forward leisurely.
The commander looked at the steel monster gradually approaching, then staggered backwards.
If it were a monster, I would have charged with an axe. But even that cannon’s destructive power doesn’t work.
In other words, his attack would be nothing more than the level of an ant’s bite, no less.
“Who, retreat…!”
puck!
When the commander was about to order the retreat, his words could not be finished. Because one arrow went through his neck.
I don’t know where it came from, but with one arrow, the commander immediately fell to the ground.
“Kkeok…”
A dwarf commander who can’t even speak properly due to the arrow that pierced his neck. Then a huge shadow fell on his face, full of fear of death.
The commander desperately rolled his eyes at the shadow.
The steel monster was on the verge of trampling on itself with its heavy wheels.
“ah······”
Wow! Wow!
The monster trampled the dwarf commander very coolly. It really looks like an ogre trampling people lightly.
Crumple-
The monster moved forward without any obstruction.
******
“Hey! And what if the wheel breaks? It’s going to get dirty, really.”
“Hey. I’m only going to use it for today’s revolution anyway, so keep it cool. And don’t forget that I’m the driver.”
“Eww.”
On the other hand, the three dwarves operating a steel monster, that is, a tank. They enjoyed their first battle with great satisfaction and were busy chatting.
Frankly, I was skeptical that this would stop the cannon from firing, but the battle just gave me confidence.
can’t stop this Who can pierce the protective power enough to deflect even shells cleanly?
The most satisfying thing above all is the main gun, that is, the attack. A turret with a rear-loading cannon, not a front-loading cannon.
The rear-loading cannon was similarly crafted by Ains with effort and effort, but the rotatable turret was Isaac’s idea.
wait here. Isaac is a liberal arts major, not a science major, and knows only the history and hardly any principles.
Therefore, it only tells you how the tank should be used, the rest is the work of Ains and his colleagues.
If Isaac had seen it, the question ‘how did you do it’ would have come out naturally.
“If I had this, I would never lose! It’s a gift that Zenon gave us!”
“So. Then. Our revolution must succeed. Because we have the power of a prophet.”
not. The little boy gave him an idea, and they did all the creation. This is definitely something to point out.
“hahahaha! Let’s go quickly! Comrades are waiting!”
“It’s the first time Geas was so excited? Hey. Are you refilling the coal well?”
“Yes!”
another one. Normally, the crew of a tank is 3-4 people.
The essential personnel include the commander, driver, gunner, etc.
However, the Ogre I tank invented by Ains is slightly different. Since it was a magical engine that used ‘coal’ as a raw material, coal had to be added from time to time.
In other words, there is one Dwarf who puts coal hard behind him. And that dwarf is a loader.
There is a defect that the rear is longer than that of a normal tram, but if you go to Moro, you can only go to Seoul.
– Hey, what’s that?!
-I, is that all steel?
– How are you moving? Nonsense!
The astonishment of the soldiers is heard as soon as they come out of the area where the blacksmith is gathered.
As soon as he heard the astonishment, Handi opened the top hatch and looked outside.
It is okay to use the periscope inside, but the field of view is very narrow. Therefore, it is much more convenient to open the hatch and command as it is now.
Ains had to drive, so he took on the driver’s duty, and Geas took on the role of a gunner using his cannon shooting career.
Handi saw the soldiers contemplating whether or not to fire a cannon right in front of them, and shouted into the delivery hose.
[You can see the garbage at 12 o’clock! High-explosive reload!]
The walkie-talkie is difficult to invent due to technical problems. Instead, I made a hose as a temporary measure because I only had to deliver it to the inside of the tank.
Of course, this is enough. Geas rotated the turret and did as Ains commanded.
It had to be rotated manually instead of automatically, but this alone is not a problem.
– Bar, fire!
Kwagwagwang!
The soldiers, who realized the situation even late, fired cannons one after another.
Tee!
I threw them all out though. There was only a slight scratch, and it is absurd to penetrate a tank this much.
Handi grinned at the performance of the tank, which he was really satisfied with. His friend ‘created’ a monster among monsters.
All that’s left is the counterattack. He shouted loudly as he put his mouth on the delivery hose.
[launch!]
At that command, Geas pulled the string strongly to fire.
Shooting while pulling the string was also due to technical limitations, but this alone is not a problem.
As I said before, even if you go to Moro, you can only go to Seoul. Since it was a rear-loaded cannon in the first place, there is an overwhelming difference in performance.
bang!
The shells are fired like a flash of light with a harsh explosion sound.
Ding-
At the same time, the brass case was ejected. This, too, was an idea given to him by Isaac.
Isaac just said it would be nice to have something like this, but the Dwarves made it in a snap.
– aah!
– Hell, it’s a monster! run away!
-report! I have to report!
All the units that were blocking the way with just one foot were disintegrated. It is the power of a high-explosive that focuses only on explosions, not penetrating power.
By the way, high explosives are also technically limited in the form of time bombs… No. Now let’s move on.
Whatever it was, the dwarves did it. Whether it’s a tank, a turret, a caterpillar, a cartridge casing or whatever.
I solved all the ideas that Isaac gave me with my current technology.
This is the true power of a ‘Dwarf’. A monster-like talent that no one can match when it comes to ‘creation’.
If Machina had not been blinded by money and only surrendered to her instincts, the world might have changed in a different way.
“Hey. It’s now. Geas.”
“Okay. A loudspeaker?”
“It’s here.”
Ains and the others won the battle again. Handi gave up his seat to Geas.
Gias, who exchanged seats with Handi, checked the performance of the loudspeaker and looked around.
At that moment, people heard the commotion and came out to check what was going on.
Most of them were dwarves and factories exhausted from the harsh oppression of King Bourgeois V.
Now is the time to save them. At this, Geas took a deep breath and shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.
[People of Machina! Now is the time! The day has come when our factory will become your strong spear and shield!]
“There it is!”
“Load the cannons!”
Coincidentally, as soon as Geas shouted, there were soldiers blocking the way. Apparently, he came to hear the commotion.
The dwarves and factories who came out to see were startled by the appearance of the soldiers, but when they saw the scene that followed, they could not help but be astonished.
Kwagwagwang! Tee!
The overwhelming protective power of the tank that deflects not only arrows but also cannons.
[firing!]
bang!
“Aww!”
“Aww!”
Firepower that wipes out all the soldiers who ruled as the object of fear.
To the soldiers, it was a steel monster that seemed to have descended from hell, but to the dwarves, who had been exploited and oppressed, they were like a ‘knight’ sent by God.
As another battle was over, Geas grinned and spoke to the loudspeaker. Somehow, dwarves and factories are coming out little by little.
[Don’t be afraid! We said we would be happy to be a spear and a shield for you! Now is the time to show it with actions, not words!]
Coog gurg-
As they passed through the streets, the number of dwarves gathered around the tank began to gradually increase.
The soldiers also heard the rumors and barely revealed whether they had removed the tail or what had happened.
“Gias-sama! We drove all the soldiers out of this street!”
“It’s us too!”
“Good job. Everyone.”
The reason was soon revealed. Because there were party members who had been trained in advance when the Factory Party was founded.
Their weapons seemed to be quite expensive, some were made by Dwarves, but they were supported by the Minerva Empire from below.
Dwarves can make their own, so all they need is raw materials and funds.
Bourges V thought that the suppression of the factories would be the end, but it was all pruning, and the roots were not touched.
[I will become your strong shield and protect you! I will become a spear for your anger and defeat greed! I will be your voice and make Bourges V deaf!]
A tank that shows the splendid eloquence of Geas and their power.
The factory workers guarding the side of the chariot and the dwarven people quietly following them.
From the standpoint of Makina, who is exhausted, she has no choice but to follow. These are the true Dwarves and the saviors of Machina.
[Lend me your strength! Give the Geist your strength, your voice, and your power! Then it will be your spear and shield!]
Crumple-
The train moved forward without a word. To become a shield, he is standing in the front and advancing forward.
[No more hiding! I will use my power not for greedy owners, but for an unfair factory. We will present true creativity to you!]
The train moved forward without a word. To become a window, he is standing in the front and advancing forward.
[Let the greedy ruling classes tremble before the revolution! All we will lose in the revolution are the chains that bind us, and all we will gain!]
Now there is only one left.
[Factories of Machina!]
Bringing out the greedy king.
[Unity!]
It’s time to create a nation for all.
Nice the thing is working
