Chapter 55: Ancient people were dumbfounded when they saw cannons
Chapter 55
Just as the ancient people thought they could see a gruesome scene of bloody carnage!
A shocking sight appeared before their eyes.
They saw two soldiers who, after jumping down, suddenly threw something out from their bodies.
When the parachutes opened, the soldiers' descent slowed down.
The bloody scene the ancients expected did not occur. Instead, they witnessed a rather comical sight, with the soldiers floating in the wind like kites.
They then slowly descended to the ground.
After landing, the soldiers immediately and orderly ran toward the forest to hide.
They advanced in pairs, one in front and one behind, so they could watch the front and guard against ambushes.
Once inside the forest, these soldiers seemed to vanish, blending almost perfectly with the trees if not looked at carefully.
This scene!
Caused an uproar in the audience —
The general was so excited that goosebumps were rising on his skin. He pointed at the screen and shouted at the ministers: "Too terrifying, simply too shocking!"
"Falling from hundreds of meters high, yet completely unharmed! If we had those kite-like things, we could certainly catch the enemy off guard!"
"And the soldiers' clothing and facial wear provide excellent camouflage!"
"In the jungle, wouldn't they be practically invisible?"
The more he spoke, the more excited the general became, looking like he had taken a stimulant.
He stared intently at the screen, watching the soldiers hidden in the jungle take out a black tube.
What were they going to do?
Fire like an arrow?
At that distance, how could they hit anything!
Then, with a "bang!" sound.
Someone was hit two hundred meters away, with a puff of smoke coming from their head.
One minute ago, the ministers said: "This concealed weapon can only be used for ambushes. In open battle, it would be useless. At such a distance, it's completely unusable!"
One minute later, the ministers exclaimed: "Hiss! They can even hit someone two hundred meters away? And fire continuously? On the battlefield, wouldn't this mow down an entire army!"
Just as the ministers finished their exclamation, even more people were hit in the distance.
The entire hall fell silent.
The generals looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
At such a distance, if it were their own soldiers, they would probably be mowed down before even getting close, right?!
"In my opinion, this concealed weapon is only good for making noise and intimidating people, but it can't even kill!" Pei Changying once again asserted his presence.
He saw that those soldiers hit by it only had smoke coming from their heads with no other effects, so he immediately mocked and ridiculed it.
Reminded by Pei Changying, the ministers immediately came to their senses.
That's right!
This concealed weapon can't kill people!
It's actually just a useless weapon.
These people from the future really like to make a fuss over nothing!
Gu Sang was resting at the base and did not go to watch the live event, but she had a virtual live stream in front of her, showing the battlefield situation.
Hearing Pei Changying's arrogant ridicule, Gu Sang did not mind smashing his face: "This is a training exercise, of course people won't be actually killed."
"The guns are loaded with blanks, not lethal bullets. When someone has smoke coming from their head, it means they've been 'killed' in this exercise and eliminated."
"But when they encounter real enemies, their guns will be loaded with actual bullets that can kill people."
"A shot to the head would be instantly fatal!"
"With the medical skills of your era, even being shot in the shoulder or thigh, unable to remove the bullet, would probably be fatal!"
Hearing Gu Sang's words, some of the ancients still had doubts.
They didn't understand terms like bullets and blanks.
They only believed what their eyes saw - that this concealed weapon couldn't kill people, and was purely for intimidation.
It was at this moment!
Three armored vehicles drove over in this direction, trees as thick as a person's waist were snapped like twigs, and boulders were crushed to rubble wherever the vehicles passed!
The civilians: ??
The ministers: !!!
So much for intimidation?
What were those things, so terrifying?
"Whirrrrrr—"
Here they come!
Several drones whirred over the treetops.
The low-flying drones revealed the figures of people hiding in the trees due to the powerful gusts of wind.
Then—
A few unmanned aerial vehicles pursued at high speed. Though smaller than the drones, they stuck to their targets like leeches, whether they burrowed into the forest or mountain caves.
What, what were these devilish things!
Smaller than the helicopters they saw earlier, yet as agile as humans.
They could turn, flip, and jump in midair.
Even humans couldn't be that agile, could they?
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
"They're attacking! They're attacking! Many soldiers have been hit!"
"Could what Her Highness said be true? These are just blanks, but in real combat they would use actual iron bullets?"
"I saw with my own eyes, those small planes suddenly had two black tubes come out from underneath, firing rapidly at the soldiers below. If those were real bullets capable of killing, wouldn't the entire army be annihilated instantly?"
"Too terrifying!!!"
All the way until this red vs. blue mock battle ended in a shockingly intense way, the ancients had not recovered their senses.
One training exercise made them clearly recognize the true meaning of the gap! The true meaning of an era deserving to be called a golden age!
With just those small planes alone, they could defeat everyone present with absolute dominance?
Not to mention those armored vehicles that crushed boulders...
The general stepped forward excitedly, his muscles quivering, stretching out his hand as if he wanted to reach through the screen and grab one of the drones.
This thing was absolutely a national treasure!
"Your Highness, why are those small planes more agile than humans? How can a person fit inside something so small?"
"And they can attack people? Are there weapons mounted on them?"
Hearing the general's impassioned questions, Gu Sang calmly smiled: "Those are called unmanned aerial vehicles, meaning aircraft without human pilots."
What...!
Unmanned?
The general's head buzzed with confusion.
Gu Sang said again, "It is activated by a program. Once activated, it will actively attack the target and won't stop until it hits the target. Of course, this is just an exercise, so the settings are not as strict."
"Both the drones and armored vehicles are equipped with heavy machine guns. A single bullet has enough force to directly shatter an iron shield."
"In modern warfare, no one fights with swords and staves anymore."
"Small ones are the guns each soldier carries, large ones are heavy machine guns, and there are also high-altitude howitzers. A single large artillery shell can destroy half of your town!!"
