While Steven was pouring coffee for Battalion Commander Li, Rayen walked to the side of the armor and reached out his hand.
The moment he touched it, the list of parameters immediately appeared in his mind.
"Weapon name: Artefact Armor
"Model: Personal armor
"Characteristics: Outstanding defense
"Damage: 3% (light)
"Material: Dark steel, Atlantean crystal...
"There are two sets of modification plans. If you need to modify it, you can use your consciousness to access it.
"What a nice guy..."
The parameters of the Atlantean armor were very outstanding. This was definitely the strongest armor Rayen had ever seen.
However, the problem was that this thing did not have any obvious weaknesses. It could only be penetrated by stronger firepower.
However, this was also the problem. The reason why the corps required large caliber pistols was definitely because they did not have enough confidence in long-range firepower.
Otherwise, they would not have considered the situation in close combat.
It was not that the weapons made by the soldiers of the foundry battalion were all scrap metal. It was just that the fighting style of the artefacts and their armors were too unique. The weapons of the Sapphire Blue Empire felt like they had hit cotton with a heavy punch. It was somewhat ineffective.
'What kind of weapon can I use to pierce through it?' Rayen walked back to the console and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Rayen did not come up with a decent answer.
This was because the armor was really perfect. With the materials provided by the corps, it was absolutely impossible to develop a targeted weapon in just fifteen days.
"How troublesome..." Rayen was annoyed, but he did not want to let go of this good opportunity.
After all, in the Sapphire Blue Empire's army, those who were capable could be promoted quickly. This was something that all soldiers knew.
As a foundry soldier, he could only provide his own value in the development of weapons. This was also the military merit that Rayen desired.
Once he showed himself in the corps, he would have a chance to walk on the future path that he had designed.
Rayen, who was already good at making weapons, now had the power bestowed by the God of War. War was naturally a good opportunity for him to stand out!
He had to seize it!
Thinking of this, he began to bring all the various parts in the factory to his operating table and became even more serious.
After about half an hour, batches of dark steel were pulled into the factory by small cars. Everyone turned on the mold and cutting tools and began to cut the dark steel according to the size required for the pistol and to finalize it.
The necessary tools such as lathes, drills, welders, and grinding wheels were turned on one after another, and a buzzing sound filled the entire factory.
Now that all the materials were ready, they only had to wait for the Battalion Commander to give them the production standards for the pistol.
However, Battalion Commander Li was in a terrible situation. He looked at the strange data that was being read from the helmet on the screen in front of him and frowned.
Meanwhile, the war at the front line was giving him a headache. In fact, he had not told the recruits everything that his superiors had told him just now.
In fact, this battle was probably the most tragic one since the two countries declared war on each other.
According to the intel, the number of troops deployed by the Kingdom of Atlanta had reached 70,000!
The number of soldiers was 20,000 more than the Vulture Corps!
The losses of the 2nd Battalion were extremely heavy!
The battle at the frontlines was at stake!
What was even more troublesome was that they were the only corps at the southern end of the empire. One could imagine such a challenge.
Even if this pistol could be developed within fifteen days, they still did not have the confidence to win.
"Damn it, what is all this!" Li Qiang looked at the data displayed on the screen and scratched his head. He could not crack the flaws in the armor, but he was still working hard.
Time was tight. With Steven's cooperation, Li Qiang finally gave a few plans to ensure that each team had something to do. The entire foundry camp quickly became busy and began to work.
When Battalion Commander Li's plan was placed in front of the recruits, Rayen frowned.
He dared to bet that if the pistol was made according to the specifications of this plan, it would not be able to cause much damage to the Atlantean armor.
After all, he had already memorized the parameters of the Atlantean armor and knew that it was a waste of effort.
However, he did not dare to give lip to his superior in public. Moreover, he had yet to come up with a good answer, so he could only start working under the orders of the squad leader Steven.
At night, everyone dragged their exhausted bodies back to the barracks. Although the lights had been turned off, due to the arrival of the war, they could not sleep at ease. They could only gather around Davis and listen to him tell stories.
"I heard that the warriors of the Atlantean Kingdom are barbarians whose faces are painted with paint. They are very cruel. They will hang the heads of their enemies on their waists as trophies and bring them back to worship their ancestors. Then, they will be eaten by their own pets! It's said that in this way, the souls of the people would be sealed and unable to return to the arms of the ancient gods... " Davis used the tone of a ghost story to describe the war customs of the Atlantean Army, making people shudder.
It made the bodies of Eli, Powell, and the others tremble non-stop.
"Then... then will they eat people?"
"I've heard from the veterans that they would cut off the fingers of their enemies and eat them. It's said that they would obtain the strength of the enemy..."
It was unknown where these two guys heard the rumors, but they said it timidly.
Hearing these words, Davis revealed a strange smile. "Of course, but they might also eat other parts..."
Everyone was really frightened this time. Many of them were still shivering on their beds.
After all, they had not really created any qualified weapons. Now that the corps' orders were so urgent, they felt that they could not escape the fate of going to the battlefield.
"Hehe, Fatty, don't scare them." Rayen yawned and continued, "Instead of being afraid, everyone should focus on their work. Moreover, those veterans are not just for show. Once they create it, we will be safe as well. Don't forget, the foundry camp is a whole battalion."
Hearing Rayen's words, everyone felt a little better and said softly, "Rayen is right. Our foundry camp is a whole battalion. With the results, we don't have to go to the battlefield anymore."
"That's right. When the war comes, the veterans are the ones to rely on. May the ancient gods bless their brains."
