On the way back, the whole process was obviously boring. Vertex X23US

Fortunately, he had already experienced it when he came here.

So being mentally prepared, he naturally found something to do for himself to pass the time.

After completely occupying the dwarf civilization, there happened to be a troublesome thing to think about, that is, after annexing the dwarf civilization, how should the pattern of the civilization of all worlds be arranged.

Excluding fortresses and fortresses, the dwarf civilization alone has fifty-three cities, large and small.

This is a big meal. Once swallowed, the territorial scope of Wanjie Civilization will inevitably expand significantly. During this period, the layout of some cities will inevitably be adjusted again.

And in this whole process, it can be said that one move affects the whole body.

How to adjust and layout?

Faced with this complex and cumbersome problem, Luo Ji felt that he should start planning the blueprint now.

For this reason, he chose to take a carriage on the way back so that he could concentrate more on his thinking.

As for the prairie fire and Glimpse, let them play with themselves.

Anyway, according to their intelligence, it is impossible for them to get lost.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that after evolving into a Warcraft, the natural lifespan of the prairie fire and Glimpse will also be greatly increased.

According to the information provided by William Zhang, an ordinary Warcraft has a natural lifespan of hundreds of years at least. At the same time, according to the documents of their high elf clan, high-level Warcraft can even survive for thousands of years!

Now to get back to the topic, thanks to this tedious job, Luo Ji had an extremely fulfilling life along the way.

In this matter, he unexpectedly has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he tossed the layout of the entire civilization of the world dozens of times, and finally came up with a layout that satisfied him.

The carriage he was riding in drove all the way into the palace. After getting off the carriage, Luo Ji simply stretched his muscles and breathed out a breath of hot air.

By the time he returned to Mirror City, it was already early winter.

Luo Ji was not busy transferring his main force to the eastern battlefield to fight for two years. He had to let the soldiers of the main army live a stable life for two months first, right?

Therefore, he had already planned to send troops to the east.

If we send out troops in the spring next year, and if the efficiency is sufficient, we should be able to launch a wave in the autumn. If that doesn't work, we will have to wait until the year after next.

It is undeniable that fighting in this era of cold weapons and traveling is indeed a time-consuming task.

After sending these messages to Huo Qiguang, Huo Qiguang expressed his understanding.

A full-scale war is different from an ordinary invasion war. Now he has the whole country's strength here. Without a large-scale attack, and with the Eastern Army led by Liu Meng and Bai Ze helping him to cover, he will fight with Nayodelson.

Spending several years on science is not a particularly difficult task.

After all, Huo Qiguang knew in his heart that there was no need to rush the mobilization of troops.

Just half a month after the beginning of winter, the first snow of this winter fell in all civilizations.

Under the white snow, in the city's teahouses and restaurants, storytellers have begun to vividly tell the story of their emperor's conquest of the dwarf civilization.

This has undoubtedly attracted a large number of listeners, and these listeners will probably stay here all winter.

As the protagonist of that story, Luo Ji was holding a rifle and playing with it.

There is no doubt that this rifle is a souvenir he brought back from the dwarf civilization.

Of course, there must be more than just this one. According to the statistics of the soldiers below, the total number of rifles is 6,321. If each of these rifles is distributed one by one, it will be enough for Luo Ji to form a musketry unit in a short time.

In fact, he did think so.

The massive losses of the orc units made it impossible for Luo Ji to attack the Goblin army as thoroughly as before.

Under this premise, in order to create advantages and reduce casualties.

The simplest way Luo Ji could think of was to use a musket.

No one can deny that the difficulty of getting started with muskets is very low. Regardless of resource investment, training a team of musketeers is much easier than training a team of archers.

A musketeer unit, after a short period of familiarity and training, will soon be able to show considerable combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Therefore, for his plan to conquer the Goblin civilization in the coming spring, Luo Ji was testing the performance of this rifle in the martial arts arena.

"boom!"

A gunshot broke the tranquility of the martial arts arena. Looking at the target standing a hundred meters away, Luo Ji curled his lips in depression.

Under the premise that he had carefully aimed, the shot missed the target completely, which showed how unstable the trajectory of the rifle was.

After many experiments, Luo Ji could probably draw the following three conclusions...

The first conclusion is that under the premise of ensuring a certain degree of accuracy, the maximum range of the rifle of the dwarf civilization is approximately between 70 and 80 meters.

Once beyond this range, although the bullet is still flying, the overall accuracy will show a cliff-like decline because it cannot continue to maintain a stable ballistic trajectory.

However, if a large number of musketeers line up to fire a salvo, this problem can be ignored to a certain extent.

Therefore, the maximum range should be able to reach one hundred and twenty meters.

Obviously, John Saar did not follow the historical process obediently. He also worked hard on muskets.

Even when he took the initiative to invade the northern border of Wanjie Civilization, the range of the firearms had not reached this point. There was obviously a breakthrough later.

The second conclusion is that within the range of 70 to 80 meters, the lethality of this rifle is a fatal threat to ordinary human infantry wearing leather armor.

And if it is replaced by light armor, or if it exceeds this range, the threat will gradually weaken.

As for heavy armor, it can be immune to this threat to a large extent.

The third conclusion is that the dwarf soldiers as musketeers should have project effects and racial talent bonuses.

After the experience of this battle, they can conduct a collective fire in almost twenty seconds.

Even though Luo Ji was familiar with the entire loading process and practiced it many times, it still took him thirty-nine seconds.

The low temperature outside in winter made his movements slightly less flexible. Although this could be considered as one of the reasons, Luo Ji ultimately classified the root causes into two points.

That is the lack of training and buff bonuses.

Here, it must be mentioned that the mass firing offensive is not based on the soldier with the fastest reloading efficiency, but the slowest one.

In other words, even if the fastest one can complete the reloading in thirty seconds, if the slowest one takes a minute, the Musketeers can only fire after one minute.
