Interference type magic circle - it must be admitted that although Gawain Cecil is half a naturalist, and the knights have a lot in common with other legal professions in the basic field of using magic, but it is really necessary When it came to those subtle and professional fields, Gawain's knowledge was still a bit insufficient. After asking around from Hetty, he figured out what was special about the magic circles engraved in those antique crystals.
In short, they are "widely effective".
This type of array can operate energy storage devices within a specific range, and does not have to be engraved on the surface or inside of the energy storage device. In other words, as long as the key nodes and energy storage devices on the array Once connected, its effects can be activated. In this respect, the interference array is very similar to the common large-scale array. The large-scale array is to build a magic array, and then place magic sources such as energy storage crystals on key nodes of the magic array to act as energy sources. , this structure certainly does not belong to engraving the magic circle in the crystal, but in fact there is an essential difference between the interference magic circle and the common large-scale formation.
Interference arrays are usually extremely small, have a very small range of action, and have a single function. Moreover, its own rune structure is actually incomplete. The energy storage part and the rune part must be combined together. It can be regarded as a complete "executive agency", so this interference type array is usually used as a "starting mechanism" to simply control the opening and closing of some magic sources, or...
Used to The magic source exploded.
Gawain understood very well why the Magisters of Gondor wanted to carve an interference-type magic circle into these military crystals - it stands to reason that since they had stuffed these runes inside the crystal, they would There is absolutely no need to waste any time setting it to interference type, but the actual problems that soldiers have to face on the battlefield are much more complicated - not all military crystals can remain intact throughout the battle. Many times, It is normal for this type of crystal to crack and break early due to fierce battles. At this time, the magic circle part of the core of the crystal may still be able to operate due to proper protection, but the entire crystal has actually disintegrated.
In this case, the rune experts in Gondor's military industry thought of one thing: at least ensuring that the self-destruction function of these crystals can still be used in the end.
So the self-destruction part of these crystals uses an interference-type array. This array ensures that even if the crystal is broken, a handful of fragments can be thrown out - as long as these fragments are As long as there is still a little energy left.
“I just don’t know what the effect will be when a large number of these crystals are gathered together and detonated at the same time.” Gawain touched his chin and began to think about it in his mind, “Or use something to bond them into shape. ? And it’s still unclear how they were formed. Only a small part of the large number of samples sent by Rebecca were mixed with this kind of crystal..."
Hetty looked at Gawain’s face, She could feel that the other party's interest was at an all-time high, which made her a little confused: although she was also interested in these weird crystals,I'm very happy that it comes in handy, but I can't imagine how valuable these "magic crystals" that have no other use besides explosions can be: "Ancestor... you look very happy?"
< p>"How can you be unhappy?" Gawain turned to look at Hetty, "Don't you think these things will be of great use once they are put to use?""Well...if they are processed properly, maybe they can As explosive magic props, it is indeed useful for mages of average strength like Rebecca and I. It can also be distributed to soldiers as auxiliary weapons." Hetty has already developed his imagination to the limit, "But Other than that, I can't think of anything else it can be used for."
Gawain looked at Hetty's confused expression and opened his mouth, but found that it was difficult for him to understand what was going on in his mind. The picture that emerges.
No one who lived in the Middle Ages could have imagined those scenes before witnessing the creation of explosives and industrial mass production.
So he simply did not explain, but raised the sheepskin bag in his hand: "I leave these samples to you. To be honest, there are not many. You try to consume them all before Determine their various properties, and try to see if the 'detonating circle' in the Gondor crystal works on them. I'm going to find Rebecca and find out how that girl got rid of these things. ”
Hetty took the sheepskin bag from Gawain’s hand with great care, and then seemed to remember something, and specifically mentioned: “Ancestor, Rebecca is a very hard-working child, but she has been She has hardly been praised in most of her life, so..."
"Don't worry, I will praise her well," Gawain smiled and pointed to the sheepskin bag in Hetty's hand, "I We have even decided to call these crystals 'Rebecca Crystals' - if that girl can reproduce these crystals." After saying this, Gawain gave He another warning. Di must pay attention to safety when testing the detonating magic circle and do a good job of protection, and then left the magic laboratory.
And until Gawain left, Hetty was not embarrassed to say what she really thought - in fact, she meant to let Gawain take it easy when he praised Rebecca. The child had not been loved since childhood. I have boasted. Once someone praises this, he might jump to the sky...
But forget it, since the ancestor is so happy, it is better not to spoil his interest.
Anyway, Rebecca is resistant to beatings and optimistic. If she really jumps to the sky, she will be beaten...
After leaving the magic laboratory, Gawain went straight to Rebecca to try burning The place where cement was made was empty, and there were only a few workers in the kiln area cleaning up the burned residue. After asking around, he found out that Rebecca had gone to the "steel factory."
The basic part of the Magic Network has been completed, and the first furnace has also entered the final installation stage. Rebecca went over early in the morning to supervise the work.
Gawain checked the waste materials cleaned out of the kiln.After confirming that there was no crystal mixed in the slag, he set off for the "steel factory" on the east side of the camp (although a shelf had just been set up now).
As soon as he arrived at this place that was called "the blacksmith's shop" not long ago, Gawain realized that he was indeed right to leave this matter to Rebecca.
The yard where a large number of trenches were once dug to bury the magic array has now been leveled and properly leveled. No trace of the magic array can be seen on the tamped ground, which can prove that there is indeed a magic array buried underneath. In the formation, there are only silver-white pillars arranged neatly every ten meters on the surface of the courtyard.
Those pillars are original magic sensors coated with mithril.
In addition to these "sensors" that were more than one meter high protruding from the ground, Gao Wen also saw many neatly arranged stone slabs in the yard, which were distributed between the sensor columns. , evenly spaced, but only covers half of the yard.
Glittering runes can be seen on the surface of the stone slab.
Gawain vaguely guessed what these stone slabs were for.
The entire project was completed beautifully and reasonably. Not only was the magic array extremely properly "encapsulated", but what was even more satisfying were the neatly arranged columns and stone slabs. They were so pleasing to the eye, so Strict and precise, even though he knew they were the product of handicrafts rather than industry, Gawain still felt that he was greatly satisfied as an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Neatness, neatness is king! Rebecca really fully understood all the requirements that Gawain gave her, and she even thought of the need to expand production capacity in this place in advance! Spaces have been reserved in places that have not yet been paved with stone slabs, obviously for the future!
There were many people busy in the yard, carrying tools and cleaning up the remaining materials, but Rebecca’s figure was still easy to find, because Gawain could see the large black furnace in the corner of the yard at a glance, and The iron-headed fireball boy was dancing and giving instructions next to the furnace.
"Be careful, be careful... This structure must be able to fit perfectly with the stone slab! Don't be perfunctory! Accurate, accurate, do you understand... If you don't fit it accurately, there will be no meat for you this time. Got it! Oh, don’t put the iron rod next to it. We’ll put the sub-rune on later... Where’s the drainage channel? Let me take a look at the drawings! Looking at Rebecca, who was so excited and immersed in her work, Gawain couldn't bear to disturb her. He stopped several serfs who were afraid of seeing his face and wanted to salute, and raised his head to look at it with admiration. Looking at the newly installed furnace.
This is a... very beautiful furnace. Compared with those old furnaces that are only more than one meter high, it is more than four meters high and is completely black (this is because the materials used to build the furnace are mixed with black stone powder to further enhance the magic affinity), it abandoned the traditional "big-belly furnace" structure and instead adopted a rectangular furnace as the main structure. At the upper end of the rectangular furnace, you can see three parallel arrangementsThe chimney, and on the right side of the lower end, you can see a protruding rectangular plane with a not very complicated runic array engraved on it. Part of the array extends to the front of the furnace body, where there is a seemingly There seems to be a movable metal plate, and there is a pedal-like thing connected to the bottom of the metal plate with a connecting rod, which seems to be some kind of control mechanism.
Since the control mechanism is located on the front, the openings for replenishing fuel, pouring ore, removing slag, and exporting molten metal are all located at the back and left side of the furnace body.
This is neither like any kind of furnace on earth that Gawain knew in his previous life, nor is it completely different from the traditional furnaces in this world. It does not even completely match the one Gawain originally gave to Hammer. That drawing——
Obviously, the old blacksmith used his brain and improved the drawing.
In Gawain's view, this kind of improvement is excellent, both the result of the improvement and the "improvement" itself are excellent.
It was only then that Rebecca noticed that the people around her had become much quieter at some point, and everyone looked in awe. She looked around blankly, and then looked To the ancestors who were spinning around the stove.
The little girl was suddenly startled: "Ah! Lord Ancestor! Why are you here?"
"I have something to ask you for - but now I have seen your progress by the way, "Gawain waved his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face, "To be honest...it's better than I thought."
"Really?" Rebecca suddenly looked overjoyed, " Do you really think so?"
"If you couldn't do these things well, I would definitely not let you be responsible for it," Gawain couldn't help but smile, "Be confident in yourself, I said , you are the pride of the Cecil family."
When Rebecca heard this, her face almost rose to the sky...
(Oh my god, tomorrow. Available! )
