The next day, Fatty called him again, saying that he wanted to go to the shooting range to shoot. Luo Kai was no longer interested in physical skills. Instead, he was curious about the technology of this era, so he left Ruifeng Valley with him for the first time.
Today was a rest day, so there were groups of men and women everywhere on campus. The men were tall and handsome, and the women were slender and beautiful. Just like what Li Gui said earlier, the students here were not only good-looking, but also had a wonderful change in their temperament. The men were fine, but the women were like goddesses, making ordinary people feel ashamed.
A short and fat person like Little Fatty was extremely rare. Luckily, he was an optimist and did not have any sense of inferiority. Instead, he was rather arrogant. A person's confidence, apart from his appearance, came from his heart. This meant that this Little Fatty definitely had something different about him.
The shooting range was not on campus, but at a military base called Lvfu, far away from the center of gravity. Physical skills were a fighting skill, so Shang Jing University had a very close relationship with the army. Every year, a large number of students were sent to the front line to train.
In recent years, large-scale attacks by ferocious beasts were rare, but small-scale attacks were common. The recent incident that shocked the human race was the destruction of Seongma Province.
The battlefield between humans and ferocious beasts originally had three theatres. Higashimogami Province had to deal with two theatres by itself. The northern theatres were led by the Northern Battlefront Army to fight against the ice beasts in the northern ice field. The central theatres were led by the Sky Battle Army to fight against the wild beasts in the wild forest. The remaining theatres were formed by the coalition forces of other countries. Now, the southern theatres were likely to appear.
Ferocious beasts, like humans, needed living space. This was an irreconcilable contradiction. When there was not enough living space, it was the beginning of the war.
It was related to the survival of the race, so humans had always maintained a standing military force of more than 10 million. Almost all of their production was invested in the military. Even so, they could only defend and had no power to attack, because the ferocious beasts were too terrifying. If it were not for the fierce competition among the ferocious beasts, humans might have been wiped out.
The military administration department of Higashimogami Province was called the Military Strategic Command Center. It commanded the various military forces in the country and was also responsible for coordinating with the Physical Arts Association. Therefore, a training base was specially built next to Shangjing University to help Physical Arts practitioners familiarize themselves with war machines. Only when Physical Arts practitioners were equipped with advanced military equipment would they be considered complete.
Kinetic weapons were the most advanced military equipment at present. They were made of a new type of ore that was discovered after the Catastrophe. This ore was called night gold, and it had a very strange property. It could absorb light energy, and it had a very strong repulsion to other types of energy. It could even repel airflow and gravity. If it was made into bullets, its speed would far exceed that of ordinary bullets. After hitting the target, the light energy contained in the bullet would explode. It was very powerful.
However, this Night Gold was a type of mineral associated with other metals. It was extremely rare and could not be used on a large scale to equip troops.
In the shooting range, Luo Kai held a silver-white bullet and carefully felt it. This was a bullet made of night gold. It was very light, but it did not have a small mass. On the contrary, the density of the material was very high. It could repel gravity like an electromagnet, similar to a natural superconductor.
"Luo Kai, this bullet is too expensive. I can't bear to use it normally. Today, I'll let you see it!"
Little Fatty held a long-barreled sniper rifle. His entire temperament changed, and there was a hint of sharpness in him.
Luo Kai returned the bullet to him and said with a smile, "Okay."
Little Fatty looked around and pointed to a scrapped heavy armored vehicle that was almost out of sight. He said, "The long-range sniper skill can hit a target four or five miles away, but we humans can't see it. You have to look through the scope. My best skill is not ultra-long-range shooting, but moving shooting. What a pity."
After he finished speaking, he lay on the ground and kept breathing deeply. Soon, his fat face became a little red. After about ten seconds, he pulled the trigger. A dazzling white light shot out from the barrel. The speed of the bullet was far beyond the frame of human vision. Even Luo Kai could not catch the trajectory of the bullet. He could not help but be surprised. In the distance, the armored vehicle that was already full of holes exploded in an instant and was torn to pieces.
Little Fatty raised his head proudly, waiting for Luo Kai's praise.
But Luo Kai was lost in thought. He had already figured out the method of the long-range sniper skill. There were many external factors that affected the sniper, such as changes in air flow, atmospheric pressure, gravity, air friction, and so on. The bullet made of night gold had the magical effect of avoiding energy. The impact of external factors was very small, and the kinetic energy dissipation was very slow. That was why the power of the bullet was so great.
In addition to the power of the weapon, the long-range sniper skill required the user to have a very strong insight. It also required the user to pour their own spirit into the weapon to increase the power of the bullet. The seemingly honest little fatty in front of him could obviously use his own spirit to increase the power of the bullet. After thinking it through, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, "Good shot!"
Little Fatty put away the gun with satisfaction and said, "Do you want to play?"
"No, I don't know how to use a gun." Luo Kai smiled and shook his head.
Little Fatty was not satisfied, so he changed to ordinary bullets and started shooting.
Luo Kai walked around alone. The use of superconducting metal was not only limited to this. It could also be used to make aircraft, or even a real floating city. He wondered if anyone used it to make rockets.
There were many people in the shooting range. In addition to a few large outdoor shooting ranges, there were also some small practice fields designed into streets and alleys. Some students with two guns were practicing their gunfighting skills. It was somewhat similar to what he saw before. The bullets that were shot out had all kinds of magical trajectories. It could be imagined that if they also used kinetic energy guns, they would be very powerful.
It seemed that he could not underestimate the technological means of this era. The combination of technology and physical skills would increase the strength of an individual's combat power.
This military base was very large. There was a small airport and a military railway station connected to Beijing. Except for the shooting range, other places were forbidden to enter.
Luo Kai was not interested in watching. He walked around and saw that Little Fatty was still shooting in full swing, so he prepared to leave alone. Just as he walked to the entrance of the shooting range, an off-road pickup truck drove in front of him. A young man holding a sniper rifle stood in the back of the truck.
To his surprise, there was a huge colorful cat lying next to the man. The cat was originally lazily lying on the ground and taking a nap. At this time, it squatted down vigilantly. Its pair of amber eyes looked straight at Luo Kai. Its vigilant eyes were mixed with a trace of fear. It growled at the man next to it. The young man also turned his head and looked over, looking a little surprised.
Luo Kai smiled at him and slowly walked away. There was no doubt that this big cat was a ferocious beast, or rather, the young man's war beast. It should be a ferocious beast in its growth stage. Ferocious beasts were far more sensitive than humans. Even if he deliberately suppressed his aura, the big cat still sensed it.
