Rebecca and Jenny were called over soon, and they brought a large bag of stuff, which was probably some of their "results."
Seeing Gawain, Rebecca immediately came over, but just as Gawain expected, this girl came over just to inquire about the excitement: "Master Ancestor! Master Ancestor! What you found in the ruins What's wrong? Why did Aunt Hetty look so serious when she came back, and Knight Byron..."
"Ahem," Gawain coughed twice in embarrassment, and then asked Rebbe Ka slapped his head back and said, "The matter is very complicated. I will tell you when I have the chance, but don't ask about it for now. Let's take a look at your results first."
Rebecca is a very upright girl. , but another advantage is that her attention is also very easy to shift - just bring up a topic that interests her. Hearing Gawain's words, she immediately smiled happily, and then she and Jenny took things out of the bag: "Yes, yes, yes, look at these, we have designed the rune set! I'm going with You said, rune logic is really a magical thing. Although all runes are calculated on paper, as long as they are combined strictly according to the formulas and rules, the effect will be the same as the calculated result..."
Gawain saw Rebecca taking out several scrolls and a metal plate with runes engraved on it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Have you already produced the finished product?"< /p>
“It’s a test product,” Rebecca scratched her hair a little embarrassed, “Because I couldn’t help but want to try it out to see the final effect, I asked Eggy for a universal substrate, and the two of us were busy working on it. I hand-carved a test product in the middle of the afternoon."
Gawain's eyes had already fallen on those drawings, and he saw that there were runes and lines on them that were several times more complex than the magic network unit. pattern, but all the runes and connecting lines are more concise and plain than the traditional magic circle. It is a drawing method that is completely different from the traditional magic circle drawing rules: all useless structures have been streamlined, and no trace is left. Decorative patterns and precise mathematical calculations allow each rune to be arranged in just the right position, and the energy ratio between all runes can achieve a perfect balance. It is precisely because of this ultimate rationality that despite This array has nearly double the number of effective runes than the conventional "Scorching Ray" array, but its look and feel is more concise and intuitive than the conventional array.
After this rune array with a peculiar beauty was engraved on a universal substrate stamped and formed by a machine, it even gave Gawain a trance of "industrial art".
Gawain picked up the universal substrate. It was only the size of a palm and made of extremely cheap red copper. In the grooves of the runes, you could see dim quartz sand powder and already Solidified red blood gum: There is no expensive material in sight, and there is no overly fancy engraving technique. Gawain is almost certain that it will be very easy to turn this magic circle into an industrial mass-produced product.
"This is youEngraved? " He raised his head and looked at Jenny who was standing aside.
Jenny quickly stood up straight and nodded respectfully: "Yes, Lord. "
Gawain laughed: "Very good...Have you passed the test? ”
“I tried it,” Rebecca said proudly, “It was tested using the magic network of the steel plant! You see, there is a groove next to the fire rune on the sharp corner, and that is where the scorching ray is released! ”
Gawain looked at the universal substrate. On one of the sharp corners of this hexagonal substrate, you can see the fire rune as the final energy release point, from the center of the rune to the top of the substrate. A special groove can be seen in between, and the groove is filled with a small quartz column. If the magic circle is activated, the scorching rays will be emitted along this groove and the quartz column in the groove—— The effective range can reach three to four hundred meters, and if the quartz pillars are replaced with higher quality or the runes are further strengthened, there is still room for improvement.
“The problem now is that this thing needs to be in the magic network. It can only be used within the range," Rebecca puffed up her cheeks, "Because this board itself cannot produce magic power. If you want to use it in places where there is no magic network, you must use magic storage crystals to power it, or give it to a mage. use. But if the mage uses it, it seems superfluous. ”
The implication is that not every mage is like her and only knows one big fireball. People rubbing the scorching ray by themselves are like water, and there is no need for this at all...
Gawain smiled and took out the "magic capacitor" that he had been studying before and was just about to assemble it.
"I have thought of this problem for a long time and have already found a solution. . "
"What is this? Rebecca immediately looked curiously at the new universal base plate that Gawain took out, and recognized at a glance what the rune set on the base plate was, "Is this... the basic unit of the magic network?" Do you mean to use this basic unit to power the scorching ray array? No, what I have tried is that the energy generated by the basic unit of the Magic Network is not enough at all. Four basic units stacked on top of each other are not enough. A large Magic Network is necessary..."
"But with these magic storage units That’s not necessarily the case with crystals." Gawain pointed to the cheap magic storage crystals on the table, and then gathered everything into the bag. "Without further ado, let’s go to the Machinery Manufacturing Factory and ask that Nicholas Egg to help. Put these things together! "
"Okay, okay! "Rebecca suddenly jumped up happily, then dragged Jenny, who was still a little confused, and walked out, "Let's go, let's go! Let Dandan help the fastest! "
Before Gawain stood up, the air nearby suddenly became distorted. Amber, who had been pretending not to be there before but was actually quietly observing the whole process, finally couldn't help but jumped out: "I'll go too, I'll go too." go! "
Rebecca was startled by this guy who suddenly jumped out, and hit him with a big fireball: "Wow! ”
If Gawain hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have caused the fireball to explode with just one slap.If the shooting breaks up, he probably won't have to live in a tent that night...
The lights in the machinery manufacturing facility are brightly lit, and the sound of machinery running is non-stop.
The originally empty work shed has now become the domain of steel and machines. Metal ingots from the steel plant are transported here in batches, and are then processed into pieces according to the drawings by Mr. Nicholas Egg. Various parts may be further strengthened and recast, while human craftsmen serve as assistants, learning the mechanical principles in the drawings while combining the parts made by Nicholas Egg into various machines - most of them It is a basic machine tool, while the other part is a "special order" issued directly from the lord and others for urgent needs.
The large-scale industrial assembly lines in Gawain’s impression are still far away, but today’s machinery manufacturing plants already have the atmosphere of machines roaring and running endlessly, and some of the most basic parts no longer require Nicholas Dan casts it himself. The machine tools placed on the side of the work shed can complete the manufacturing of basic parts. What drives the machine tools are two optimized first-generation magic engines. In order to ensure that these two engines have sufficient power, Rui Beka planted the first batch of nodes of the Honeycomb Magic Network in the Machinery Manufacturing Institute. Now it seems that everything is running very smoothly.
After Gawain and others entered the work shed, what they saw was a lively scene: the processing machinery driven by the magic engine was running on the west side of the work shed, continuously manufacturing various mechanical parts (and All kinds of metal tool accessories that the territory urgently needs); human craftsmen are busy among the machines, and they have slightly adapted to this new production work; in the middle of the work shed is the territory of the iron star - he is floating there , there is no man's land within a few meters around. A large number of metal ingots are pulled into the air by unknown forces, and are quickly shaped into various solid parts that are currently difficult to be made by machines or humans. The shaped parts are then It will automatically fall into several nearby storage areas for human craftsmen to take.
Gawain looked at the iron ball star man with a bunch of parts floating in all directions from a distance, thinking that this really looked like Wan Jian returning to his clan...
Then he took a step forward Moving forward, Rebecca greeted from a distance: "Egg! We're here to help you!"
Nicholas Egg heard the greeting and quickly cleared away the floating parts around him. He turned to the side and turned to the direction of Gawain: "Ah, something happened again - the lord is here too?"
Under normal circumstances, Gawain would not be able to tell whether Nicholas turned around or not, because The iron star was completely naked and could not tell the difference between the front, back, left and right, but this time he could see at a glance that the opponent had turned around - because he suddenly discovered that the opponent had a face painted on him!
The moment he saw that face, Gawain stopped immediately, and even almost fell to the ground. This can’t be blamed on him. Anyone who sees a "funny" floating face with a diameter of 1.3 meters You can't calm down even if you say hello to yourself in front of yourself!
Gawain stared at Nicholas Egg's "face" in amazement, looking at the crooked eyes, slanted eyes, and unbeatable mouth shape. He was stunned for five seconds without saying a word. , and then the first thought that came to his mind was: Which fellow time traveler has sneaked into his land? !
Who drew this "funny" expression!
He was about to find someone to ask, but he didn’t expect Rebecca to speak with a smile after noticing the shocked expression of her ancestor: "Ancestor? You were shocked! Is my painting good? Okay?"
Gawain turned around with a creak and stared at Rebecca: "Did you draw this for him?"
"Yes!" Carter nodded matter-of-factly, "Every time I talk to Eggy, I can't figure out which side of his face is right. He also complained to people that there are always people talking behind his back at work, which scares him. Then I thought I took a trick and painted his face..."
"You...just painted it casually?" Gawain looked up and down this girl who always did amazing things, trying hard to find out what he was doing. Find some shadow of the time traveler, "Don't you think this expression looks weird?"
"I just wanted to draw a smiling face," Rebecca scratched her hair, "But it's His hands did shake a bit...of course it might have been a few times, so his eyes were a bit strange."
The corners of Gao Wen's mouth trembled: "How would others react when they saw him with this face?"
Rebecca thought about it carefully and nodded: "It's quite festive."
Jenny next to her also nodded: "Well, it's quite festive."< /p>
Gawain: "..."
At this time, the Nicholas egg had floated in front of Gawain. This huge and ridiculous man shook his body up and down twice: "What do you think of me? How about the new image? I feel like it will be much easier to deal with you humans now that I have a face."
"As long as you're happy," Gawain tried to keep his expression steady and took out the words. The materials he brought, "Let's get down to business first. I want you to help me assemble a new...weapon."
"Oh? Is it a weapon this time, not a machine?" Nicholas Egg The voice sounded very interested, "What is it?"
"I temporarily named it - a thermal ray gun."
