Chapter 1115: An Epochal Missle Test

A week later in the valley of the Impassable Mountain Range
After the previous napalm missile test, the valley became Roland’s new test site. Since there were more visitors from the northwest of the city coming to the Misty Forest than ever, it was now practically impossible to simply create a clearing in the suburb to conduct the test. Therefore, Roland had to pick a new test site that was closer to the North Slope laboratory and attracted less attention from the public.
Considering their weapons would become increasingly powerful in the future, it was only natural to relocate the test site.
This time, Roland was going to test out the anti-demon rocket-propelled grenade he had previously worked on.
With the development of the industrial technology as well as abundant research, it had only taken Roland five days to complete the test – the shortest so far in Neverwinter.
Nevertheless, the speed test was also largely attributed to the simple structure of the grenade itself.
In Roland’s previous world, even the worst terrorist who barely knew anything about military weapons was able to produce a giant home-made RPG with a gas can and a hosepipe. If equipped with a pickup truck, they could transform the RPG into a self-propelled multi-gun. As the industrial system in Neverwinter steadily matured, Roland could now produce a rudimentary grenade effortlessly.
“So, I just need to aim the missile head at the target and then pull the trigger, right?” said Alethea brightly as she scooped up the launcher with her tentacle. As a former Senior Blessed Warrior, she was very interested in the new firearm, especially when this firearm was particularly designed to defend against the demons.
Except, the whole situation was a little strange and creepy as far as Roland could see.
What he saw now was a huge blob monster covered in tentacles holding an RPG, which was not a common weapon it normally used – as depicted in horror movies. More often than not, a tentacle monster like that would attack their enemy with their fatal stare, swords and shields, a powerful sucker, and special body fluids. An RPG, in this scenario, was simply a little out of place.
Roland asked the original carriers to conduct the test purely out of safety concerns. Neither the soldiers nor the God’s Punishment Witches could possibly survive a close-range shot when the firearm was unintentionally discharged. Only the original carriers had the ability to transport the weapon with their tentacles to a remote, distant area and thus avoid such unfortunate accidents.
“Just make sure that you aren’t pointing your tail at yourself or anyone,” Roland said as he coughed. “Go ahead.”
Alethea gave her main tentacle a quick tap of comprehension and pulled the trigger.
A sudden flash erupted from the muzzle and zoomed across the field toward the target 100 meters away.
The projectile gently arced in the air and hit the lower part of the target. With a deafening crash, the targetted iron case rolled over on the ground, fully intact.
Compared to the earth-shattering roar of the Longsong Cannon and the furious flames that overcast the sky produced by the napalm bomb, the performance of this weapon didn’t seem very satisfactory. The explosion emitted hardly any gunfire, dust, nor particles. Within a few seconds, the wind had dispersed the faintest hint of smoke produced by the bomb.
The atmosphere became awkwardly silent.
Only Roland didn’t look too disappointed at the result. On the contrary, he said smilingly, “Go retrieve it and take a look.”
Soon, two God’s Punishment Witches brought the iron case back.
