Gawain said the name of the weapon that he had been brewing in his heart for a long time. Nicholas Egg obviously did not react much to this word, but Rebecca next to him was already happy: "This name sounds very powerful! "
"Do you understand that you are very powerful?" Amber glanced at Rebecca sideways, "How come these words are put together..."
"My ancestors are like this. They can always think of some names that sound very powerful even though they don't understand what they mean." Rebecca looked proud, as if she was saying that she was very powerful. "If you have any opinions, just leave them alone." It's envy - why don't you have such a powerful ancestor?"
Hu Huo's eyebrows suddenly stood up: "No matter how powerful your ancestor is, I dug it out!"
Gao When Wen saw that the two of them were trying to change the topic again, he immediately stood in the middle: "You two, be quiet, you two are quiet! We are here to do business!"
That silver-white giant was funny from beginning to end. He just floated aside and watched silently. At this time, seeing the two "female humans" finally calmed down, he calmly said: "Then let's talk about the 'thermal ray gun'... I process parts. No problem, but you have to prepare drawings first, or if the structure is simple, you can just explain it to me on the spot, but it’s best to compare it with something real.”
“We have actually made the main components by hand. , now the main thing is for us to study together how to combine them firmly and create a 'shell' suitable for human use," Gawain said while taking out the substrate of the magic capacitor, the magic storage crystal, and the scorching ray. The base plate and several blueprints with schematic diagrams of the principles, "Look at these, Dandan, let me tell you about the principles of the thermal ray gun..."
The silver-white giant funny suddenly made a buzzing sound: "Why don't you call me Dandan!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, you can just make up your own mind - first let's talk about the location of the rune trigger..."
Gawain's idea of the thermal ray gun was no longer a day or two. In fact, after the emergence of crystal grenades, he was thinking about what the second weapon should be that could be equipped in large quantities for soldiers.
Crystal grenade is a thrown explosive weapon with great power and extremely simple structure. After the basic machine tool was built, it has been mass-produced on a small scale. Byron is training soldiers to become familiar with this kind of grenade. New "magic items". However, the limitations of crystal grenades are also obvious: the throwing distance is limited by human arm strength, and it is basically impossible to achieve precise strikes. Throwing requires a large range of motion and a long preparation time, and there is an explosion delay after throwing...< /p>
Obviously, soldiers also need another kind of extraordinary weapon to make up for the lack of crystal grenades, and it is best to be a long-range weapon - this world has gone far enough in sword skills.
Firearms are the easiest thing for Gawain to think of, but they are extremely difficult to realize in this world.
Without gunpowder, evenWithout steam propulsion, it would be extremely difficult to launch physical projectiles at high speed. Gawain has tried many methods of creating instantaneous high-temperature and high-pressure gas, but with little success; he also put his thoughts on "magic", such as using repulsion. He used a magic circle to push the projectile, but he soon discovered that with the current technology, it was difficult to shrink the repulsion magic circle to the extent that it could be engraved on the bottom of the gun chamber, and even if it was really reduced to this extent, the instantaneous impact of a single repulsion magic circle would The thrust is not enough to give the warhead enough lethality.
He also considered the convenience of using magic to realize the "rail gun" in advance, using a wind-ground hybrid rune group that can generate a strong magnetic field to create an accelerated trajectory and launch projectiles, but it quickly He discovered that there is currently a lack of a "control circuit" that responds quickly enough to enable the rapid opening and closing of each rune group - the traditional rune trigger operates mechanically, and it is difficult to control the entire track during the acceleration of the projectile. A large number of rune groups perform sequential switching, and use rune connections to achieve functions similar to clock circuits... Unfortunately, there is currently no clue in this regard.
Differences in physical laws make many technological breakthroughs that are difficult to achieve on earth become easy in this world, but at the same time, they also make many things that are easy on earth become difficult here.
As for the traditional crossbows in this world, it’s not that Gawain has never thought about improving them with magical guidance, but no matter how much the crossbows are improved, it will be difficult for them to simultaneously achieve “cheap, mass production, and fast firing. "Continuous firing, low training requirements, high efficiency potential" and a lot of requirements...
Perhaps when the magic industrial technology tree reaches a certain level, traditional crossbows will re-enter Gawain's Line of sight, but at least not yet.
After a lot of hard work and attempts, Gao Wen stroked his hairline one day, and suddenly he realized something in his heart:
Why did he have to use BIU bullets? !
What made him realize this was Rebecca, who was jumping in front of him at that time - or to put it more directly, it was a jumping fireball launcher...< /p>
At that time, he suddenly realized where his thinking was limited: no matter what method he used to push the physical projectile, even if he used magical thinking, he was still limited by the experience of the earth. Since in this world There are all kinds of powerful spells in existence. Why not just throw the "bullets" aside and study those magics?
After collecting and sorting out information on various basic spells, what finally came into his sight was the fireball launch... no, it was the scorching ray.
After the scorching ray substrate was manufactured, he once again needed to confront the inherent experience in his mind.
What form do new weapons need?
A few people sat down at a workbench in the machinery manufacturing plant. The Nicholas egg was floating on the opposite side of the workbench, and the substrates, crystals, and blueprints were all placed on the table. Look at these things, GawainI feel that the "classic gun shape" in his mind may not work here.
These are palm-sized hexagonal metal plates. They have no barrels, magazines, bolts, and chamber structures. Compared with long classic firearm shapes, they are more suitable for being used. Assembled into something similar to a disk.
Of course, Gawain can force them to make weird-looking shells based on the firearms on the earth, because he knows that the classic shape is the result of countless years of actual combat verification: the handle is easy to hold and long. The long barrel makes it easier to point and aim, but the problem is...
Considering the actual situation of the scorching ray substrate and the efficiency of the magic array's energy supply, the muzzle of the gun will probably be a pile of palms. A large piece of metal, the center of gravity of the entire gun is in the front. Let alone aiming, it is probably more reliable to use it directly as a war hammer...
Considering that the next generation weapon may even fire ice arrows and ball lightning, and can even be used to release thunderstorms, summon elements, and generate shields, so it is even more unnecessary to shape this weapon into a classic gun shape on Earth.
Gawain looked at those metal substrates, trying hard to eliminate all images related to "guns" in his mind, and told himself over and over again: This is a magic prop, this is a magic prop ...
After almost hypnotizing himself, he picked up the substrates one by one and gestured on his arm: "How about we assemble them into a gauntlet?"
Rebecca imagined hard, and suddenly shook Gawain's arm happily: "It sounds very handsome! I have been thinking about how to make these boards into the shape of a staff, and it turned out that I didn't expect this at all!"
Huhaku curled his lips and said, "Hey, what's the matter? I've thought of it too - isn't this the form of the Stalker's sleeve arrow? I just didn't have time to say..."< /p>
It is rare that Rebecca's brain circuit was solidified once, and was surpassed by Amber...
Nicholas Egg was confused when he heard it next to him: "The sleeve arrow is What? How do you assemble it into the gauntlet? Speaking of which, I still haven’t figured out the structure and principles of your hands..." Gawain looked at this iron with strange eyes. The star man suddenly realized the biggest shortcoming of this golden thigh: it was okay to simply make parts according to the drawings, but when it came to ergonomics, this guy was 100% blind. As a ball player, how could he know how to use his hands? How is it used?
But this is not important. Gawain quickly sent someone to find a gauntlet and came back. Then he drew his idea on the drawing and explained to Nicholas Egg: "Just like this, The scorching ray substrate is placed at the front end, the magic capacitor is placed at the back end, and the red copper substrate is used as the magic guide connection. The rune trigger can be controlled by a metal wire extending from the side of the arm armor, and of course it is triggered by the thumb. To prevent false triggering, it also needs to be equipped with a safety device similar to that on crystal grenades. We can use magic capacitors and scorchingGet one between the heat ray substrates, this is the safest..."
"Simple, simple," Nicholas Egg floated up and down while listening, "What other requirements are there? "
Hubo said from the side: "Don't make the arm armor into one piece. It is best to adjust the tightness of the lower part. "
Gawain glanced at her in surprise, and the latter rolled his eyes: "Don't really think that I am ignorant and incompetent - at least I have used sleeve arrows. "
"Okay, okay, your suggestion is indeed useful," Gawain said in a dumbfounded voice, and then nodded to Nicholas Egg, "That's it for now, the main thing now is to get a sample and see if it works. , and then only during actual testing will we know what needs to be improved. "
There was a low buzzing sound inside Nicholas' egg, and the nearby metal ingot and the two substrates on the table floated: "Then look at mine! It'll be done in a moment! ”
What this iron ball star said is right, he really did it in a moment - when the precision requirements are low and only a few components need to be processed, those metal ingots and substrates can even It took less than a minute to be molded and assembled together.
It was an unattractive arm armor that even looked "clumsy" from a traditional perspective.
In order to stuff the rune substrate into the protective shell and reserve space for the rune trigger, the assembled "thermal energy ray gun" made the entire arm armor more than two circles thicker than the traditional arm armor. Its upper half The part is raised high and is in the shape of an ellipsoid. An opening is reserved at the front end. There is a small section of metal guard extending below the opening. The metal guard is actually a "safety" device - when it is stuffed back, the magic The flow will be cut off, and the user's hands can move freely, but the thermal energy ray gun cannot be fired. When the shield is pulled out, the thermal energy ray gun enters the ready-to-fire state, and the user's hands are restricted from turning upwards, which makes it easier to The hot beam will not penetrate the palm due to carelessness...
Since it is only a test product assembled for the first time, its image cannot be said to be very gorgeous, but Gawain is still slightly excited. He put this bulky gauntlet on his arm, adjusted the tightness and buckled it in place.
While pulling off the safety device on the front of the gauntlet, he put the metal finger cot for firing on the arm. With his thumb, he pointed the front of the arm armor to the ground ahead.
Nicholas Egg turned slightly, and an iron-gray metal ingot floated over and landed where Gawain was aiming. p>
“How many soldiers are there in our territory now? "Gawain asked Rebecca casually while taking aim.
Rebecca thought for a while: "The newly trained recruits have not left the camp yet. They are not counted as two knights at the moment, only combat soldiers. If so...one hundred and six people. "
Gawain pulled the trigger, and with a soft "pop" sound, a hot beam of light shot out from the arm armor. The metal ingot on the ground was directly hit, and it caused a small explosion caused by magic power. And LianIt continued to roll on the ground several times, scattering a series of sparks and metal debris along the way.
When the rolling stopped, its surface was already red, and even a deep pit was melted out.
"So, we have one hundred and six second-level extraordinary beings who can use scorching rays."
(Recommend a book, "My Daughter is a Ghost", It's light-hearted and full of imagination. It's a story about raising a daughter (no mistake), which can effectively alleviate the book shortage. Is this considered a naughty daddy's childishness...)
