845: Chapter 838: Kedal tal Bullet 845: Chapter 838: Kedal tal Bullet Tangmo’s voice got lower and lower, until the last few words were nearly inaudible, leaving Luo’er unable to clearly understand what she wanted to express.
However, within such an atmosphere, in such a context, even if Tangmo said nothing, Luo’er could understand her thoughts.
Having resolved the internal issues, the Advance Team was simply waiting for the equipnt to arrive before they were ready to set off.
The Headquarters was now heavily guarded, and although this unavoidably drew the enemy forces’ attention, it was worth it as long as they could protect the only lead they had.
In the days that followed, Cheng Ziang and Yalunte seed to have reached so sort of tacit agreent, still referring to each other as teacher and student.
Nobody knew what they talked about.
After handing Jora tuo over to the Headquarters, Eve finally felt relieved and prepared to fulfill her promise to act as the proxy for the Advance Team, heading to the Snow Domain in search of the traces of the Ancient Scripture.
Jora seed to have a fondness for the truth, but it was a case of unrequited love – the truth always remained indifferent to her.
In front of Jora, she never smiled; it was only in Luo’er’s presence that she would show a genuine smile.
Luo’er could understand this, though he also felt helpless about the situation.
To Luo’er, the truth was just one of the many pitiful people he had saved, but to the truth, Luo’er was her savior who rescued her from misery.
To say she had no feelings for Luo’er would simply be nonsense.
Of course, because of her youthful appearance, Luo’er had always treated her as a sister, without the complexity of romantic feelings involved.
After all, there is a big difference between gratitude and affection.
After spending about a week at the base, everything was finally ready to go.
Cheng Ziang also received a brand-new Tang Saber, still in the shape he liked so much.
It seed he liked the sharp and straight design, so he didn’t ask the factory for many modifications.
Before, Cheng Ziang couldn’t fully utilize his blade, but this ti it was different.
This ti, every mber of the Advance Team was equipped with ultra Mobility devices.
As long as there were enough Magic Crystals, Cheng Ziang’s mobility was not going to be a problem.
However, even so, considering the widespread use of firearms in Otherworld, the Headquarters had still prepared a submachine gun for him as a secondary weapon, also conveniently eting the Advance Team’s firepower needs.
As for the rest of the team, the changes in their equipnt were not significant, only so auxiliary gear like the Magic Crystal locator devices for Fulajie’er to pinpoint team mbers’ locations, and Baiyue finally able to pick up her beloved M70 bolt-action sniper rifle again.
Other weapons didn’t see much change, the Type 47 stockless rifle had been confird as a qualified rifle.
With its unchanged overall length, the barrel was longer than most compact rifles, which ensured a smoother trajectory with less drop, thus little need for improvents.
There were so minor flaws, like the 45-degree angled charging handle located at the front of the rifle, which in combat was proven to be prone to snagging on clothes and branches.
So, it was adjusted to run parallel to the body of the rifle and was slightly shortened in length to ensure no further issues.
Another problem was that the ejection system tended to jam spent cartridges, preventing the subsequent casings from ejecting properly.
And the visibility of the open bolt indicator at the rear of the rifle’s body, which wasn’t clear enough, was also addressed, enhancing the overall reliability of the rifle.
In fact, the engineers who researched and designed this rifle were also at their wits’ end.
They initially intended to design an advanced stockless rifle that fired caseless ammunition.
But then, as the client, the Headquarters started adding conditions, such as compatibility with AK series banana magazines and M43 7.62X39 rifle cartridges.
This caused the plan to be modified and adjusted repeatedly until, after various compromises, the magazine catch thod was altered, and an ejection port was added.
For the Advance Team, the modularity and compatibility with different ammunition types of this stockless rifle were praiseworthy.
However, for them, these were not so crucial.
Shooting with the M43 rifle rounds, the precision was notably inferior compared to the shell-less bullets specifically issued.
According to Luo’er’s experience, picking any AK series 7.62 rifle produced in the ’40s of this century, its accuracy was about the sa as that of a rifle without a buttstock firing M43 rifle rounds.
In other words, using the Type 47 buttstock-less rifle to fire M43 rifle rounds turned out to be sowhat pointless—it was nice to have, but not necessary.
Of course, the modularity of this gun deserved praise.
After changing the barrel, it could fire specialized heavy rounds, serving as a light machine gun, which t the Advance Team’s firepower requirents.
Still, Luo’er felt that since it was modular, why not be thoroughly bold?
Just like the FN SCAR rifle, by swapping the relevant modules, it would be capable of firing 7.62×51 NATO standard rounds, thus transforming the buttstock-less rifle into a universal machine gun and taking firepower to the next level.
One could only say that the developers were too cautious, or perhaps they never even considered developing it in this direction.
After all, the initial design of the Type 47 buttstock-less rifle was to fire shell-less bullets; it was only because Headquarters, acting as the client, made arbitrary demands that the developers reluctantly compromised to enable it to fire cased ammunition.
This ti, heading to the Snow Domain in search of the “Ancient Scripture,” although it was unclear what might be encountered along the way, the likelihood of engaging in intense gunfire was much lower, which was why Wang Xu allowed Luo’er to revert to the Advance Team’s previous firepower setup.
Naturally, as the ace unit of the frontline Headquarters, Wang Xu still wanted them to have the best equipnt.
Apart from those enchanted bullets, the Advance Team also got the opportunity to test new types of ammunition.
This ti, the bullets they needed to equip for testing were Kedal tal bullets, which were made from Kedal tal produced in Luo’er’s hotown of Ilanadale.
Under Earth’s laboratory conditions, these bullets demonstrated amazing penetration power.
When shot into an object, the bullet’s head would hardly deform.
The penetrating power of these bullets was as great as the kinetic energy provided by the gunpowder.
Upon studying, Earth’s scientists discovered the molecular structure of this tal, and through repeated experints, uncovered an astonishing fact.
When a Kedal tal bullet experienced a high-velocity impact above a certain threshold, its internal molecular structure wouldn’t disperse due to the impact but would arrange itself even more compactly, which explained why the bullet heads would hardly deform.
Moreover, scientists had an even more exciting discovery.
When such a bullet violently impacted a target, its internal molecular structure would disrupt the internal molecular structure of the target, leading to a loosening and making it easier to penetrate.
Simply put, when these bullets hit their targets, they would beco harder, whereas the impacted area of the target would beco weaker and more vulnerable, which is why arrows made of Kedal tal could easily pierce the most advanced bulletproof vests on Earth.
What’s more exhilarating is that this physical property held true in both worlds and wouldn’t be rendered ineffective due to the different physical laws of the two worlds.
This ant that weapons made of Kedal tal could be invincible on Earth as well.
The main task for the Advance Team this ti was to field test these bullets in actual combat conditions.
Of course, even if they passed the field tests, Luo’er felt these bullets wouldn’t be widely issued to troops.
After all, Kedal tal was intrinsically a rare tal, not readily obtainable everywhere.
If shield-breaking bullets and magic-breaking bullets were specially designed to penetrate magic, then Kedal tal bullets were specialized for physical armor-piercing.
With these research findings, the significance of Ilanadale rose accordingly.
Previously, Headquarters planned rely to develop Ilanadale as a southern stronghold, but the discovery of Kedal tal thrust this secluded Elven Kingdom into the lilight.
Headquarters felt rather fortunate; after all, they had the connections with Luo’er and Nina, otherwise, if the CIA had established relations with Ilanadale first, they would have truly missed out.
