Secondly, there was the more advanced bullet processing line.
Although the production line designed by Roland could be regarded as a streamlined process, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the military experts, who bluntly called it the level of a workshop. In their own words, such a product with relatively simple structure and process could completely replace 95% of the human work with machines, and with the help of mechanical control equipment, production could basically be achieved 24 hours a day.
According to the military plan, the new production line would cost a lot of money, but it could save a lot of manpower, and at the same time increase the bullet production efficiency by more than 10 times. If the number of people engaged in the production remained the same, the increase in production capacity would be even greater.
After the "cornerstone project" of the Nuwa Project was in place, the equipment needed for the new production line would no longer have any theoretical technical difficulties. Together with the enhancement of the propellant, the accuracy and lethality of the guns would be further improved.
Looking at this part of the report, Roland could only sigh in admiration at the accuracy of the expert's vision.
The number of ammunition had always been the number one problem that troubled the First Army.
The number of workers engaged in related production had been increasing since the expedition to the Fertile Plains, but the shortage of ammunition did not seem to be alleviated. For example, the Air Knight, who was a big consumer of ammunition, could use an astonishing number of bullets just by training, but the process could not be omitted. Roland had heard Iron Axe complain more than once about the frontline.
If the ammunition production capacity could be increased, the possibility of the demons breaking through the First Army's defense line with their advantage in numbers would be further reduced, or in other words, they would completely lose the ability to fight the demons head-on.
As for the related light weapons, the expert group did not put forward any more suggestions. It was not that there was no room for improvement, but that the cost-effectiveness of the improvement was not high. The combination of general-purpose machine guns and bolt/semi-automatic rifles was temporarily enough to deal with the threat of the "degenerated Fallen Evils". As for the offensive tasks on the battlefield, it should be handled by heavy weapons such as cannons.
In other words, as long as the enemy was flattened, the infantry could easily occupy the territory.
Instead of spending resources on improving the guns, it was better to manufacture more cannons, and all actions would be carried out by cannons. Whether it was attacking, retreating, reinforcing, or blocking, they would first fire a few shells and plough the ground.
Of course, this was only for the immediate and effective quarterly plan.
In the five-year plan, individual light weapons would undoubtedly become a very important item.
As for Roland, what he was most interested in was the "one-year plan".
Its benefits were slightly lower than gunpowder and bullets, and the resources needed to be invested were also relatively more. However, it was the key to determining the outcome of a war.
The plan covered the existing heavy weapons in Neverwinter, including two major improvement projects and two new projects. The Army and the Air Knight would each take half of the projects.
First, it was the old subject of the Graycastle Design Bureau — the caterpillar tractor and the armored tank that was developed from it. This was also the only occasion where Master Xie could show his face. Surprisingly, after looking at the design drawings, the experts didn't criticize it as being useless. Instead, they thought that under the conditions of low technology, the plan had some merit. Compared to the equipment itself, they were more concerned about the nuclear power center.
When Roland took out the Magic Ceremony Cube, the atmosphere in the hall took a turn for the better. Even the two government representatives who knew the inside story were dumbfounded.
Even now, he could still clearly remember the scene at that time.
Looking at the seemingly ordinary "stone cube", everyone had a complicated look on their faces. After all, the background setting was the background setting, and they could accept it for Scroll's sake. However, if Roland took out a stone and claimed that it was a nuclear power unit, he would be treating the experts as fools.
Rock winked at him, and Director Liu decided to temporarily adjourn the meeting to avoid further awkwardness and ruin the cooperative atmosphere that they had painstakingly built up.
But under his insistence, one of the chief engineers reluctantly sent it to the test room to let the team do a simple output test. When the chief engineer's assistant left, he looked confused and disgusted. However, half an hour later, when he rushed into the conference room, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
Then, the whole conference room went crazy.
In the face of the indisputable facts, Roland found that everyone was looking at him with a burning gaze. Director Wu even dragged Director Liu out of the conference room. No one knew what they talked about outside, but the most obvious change was that the security in the factory area increased by more than one level the next day. All the armed police were replaced by regular soldiers, and there were even sentry boxes and barracks set up at the gate. If it weren't for the fact that ordinary martial arts were useless to Roland, he would have had a private car to clear the way and bodyguards to protect him.
He wasn't trying to show off, but it was Anna's idea.
After telling her about what happened the day before the meeting, she was quite annoyed. Then, she raised her eyebrows and came up with a "revenge plan", which was to use magic power to reshape the other party's worldview. The result was better than Roland had expected. After that, not only did everyone respect Scroll, but they also agreed to all of his requests, hoping that they could get a piece of the Magic Ceremony Cube to experiment on. The meeting ended later and later.
With a tangible object, it wasn't difficult for a team with the support of modern technology to design a workable basic plan.
Just like that, the original three-cylinder Magic Cube was eliminated.
In its place was a more reasonably designed high-pressure Magic Cube machine with higher pressure in the cylinder. Not only had its theoretical output power more than doubled, but its volume and vibration had also been reduced by nearly 30%. It would be loaded on the replicated heavy-duty trucks and tractors for practical testing. The final project plan could be determined in a week at most.
In addition to the improvement of the Rubik's cube engine, the project team also provided a drawing of a small truck. This kind of truck had only 20 to 30 horsepower and was driven by an in-line diesel engine. The fuel was the leftovers from the biplane's fuel extraction. The total load was between one and two tons. The structure was extremely simple, and it did not even have a cab. At first glance, it looked like a square tractor with four wheels.
Roland soon realized the use of this small truck. In terms of production difficulty, it was much easier than a steam truck, and it could be produced in large batches in a short time. The former was undoubtedly a waste for short-distance transportation, while the latter was just right. It was much more efficient than horses and mules, so it was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
The last part of the one-year plan was the core of the core.
It consisted of two sub-projects. The first was to improve the 'Fire of Heaven' to further increase its advantage against flying Devilbeasts, and on this basis, develop more sub-models to suit different combat needs.
The second was to develop a new long-range bomber.
