Amber, a perennial wild half-elf, avoids light and prefers darkness. He has the habit of stealing, is omnivorous and has a large appetite. He likes to play around. If he plays to a certain extent, he will enter a state of dementia, and then be chased and beaten.
Such as now.
As soon as the words "Old Zongzi" were spoken, Gawain had not yet realized what was going on. Hetty had already reacted first. Cecil's butler glared and waved his staff. , a strong murderous aura filled the air.
Amber herself was also excited to react at this time, but she glanced at Hetty and began to hold on: "Who are you scaring? If you have the ability, you can hit my face with an ice arrow..."
Then Hetty rounded the staff and hit it with a stick, sending it flying seven or eight meters away...
Who said that the mage can only use Ice Arrow and Fire Ball— —Which mage from the Cecil family doesn’t have the thirty-six-way resting stick technique? Amber has had little contact with the Cecil family. If she knew that Hetty and Rebecca's staffs both had health slots, she would not dare to jump like this...
"You You have insulted my magic, and you have insulted my ancestors!" Hetty was really a little anxious this time. She glared and swung the staff - since her younger brother passed away, she had to help the brainless root as an elder! Since the time when the muscular Rebecca took charge of the family business, she has rarely shown such a free hand, but anyone who understands the ancestral traditions of Cecil's family should know that the elegant Ms. Hetty is really anxious. You can use the staff as a war hammer, "Don't think that I can't do anything if the magic can't hit you. Look at me..."
Amber was immediately chased and beaten, howling and screaming, but luckily at this time, Wen had already reacted and ran over to interrupt the farce: "Stop, stop, stop, please, please, please, please, Hetty, you don't know that this guy has no way of talking, and Amber, you too - will be beaten. It’s time to take off the thermal ray gun. What if the sample you finally got is damaged?”
Amber: “…”
Hetty glared at Amber? After looking at it, he lowered his head to Gawain: "Ancestor, you should really discipline this guy. She disrespects you very much now."
"Oh, I shouldn't have treated 'Old Zongzi' in the first place "I'll teach you three words," Gawain sighed and turned to look at the arm armor on Amber's hand, "Let's take a look at this thing first. Why can't it be used suddenly?"
Amber? Fidgeting with the thermal ray gun in his hand, he aimed at the distant target and pulled the trigger again. As a result, this time, another scorching beam of light was emitted from the gauntlet and hit the distant target.
Amber frowned: "It seems to be working again?"
But then she shot a few more times, and the beam failed again after the third shot. < /p>
The reason was soon discovered.
It is the answer to the magic capacitorThe charging speed could not keep up with the consumption of continuous shooting, and the magic power in the magic storage crystal was exhausted.
The "magic capacitor" designed by Gao Wen is essentially an energy device that continuously charges automatically, but the charging speed is stable and slow. Its recharging speed is constant, and the upper limit of its capacity is also constant. It allows the honeycomb magic network unit with low output capacity to temporarily store magic power in the crystal, thereby providing energy for high-energy-consuming magic circles. However, as long as these high-energy-consuming magic circles continue to operate, the energy consumption rate will increase. It will inevitably exceed the charging speed of the crystal.
When the thermal ray gun fires continuously, the capacitor will inevitably be exhausted, and it will need to wait for slow recharging before it can be used again.
"So that's what happened." Looking at the gray-white magic storage crystal on the magic capacitor slot, Hetty nodded, "That's true, normal magic props are like this. The magic that can be released continuously is limited, and the magic power must be replenished after it is used up. It seems that the same is true for the thermal ray gun."
"But this is absolutely not possible!" Gawain shook his head seriously.
Rebecca looked confused: "Why not? Aren't all magic props like this?"
"Those are traditional magic props. Why can't they only release six fireballs a day?" The ring and the shield sigil can only be used three times a day, but I have to say that those things must be eliminated." Gawain shook his head, "On the battlefield, whoever's weapon is damaged first will die. Thermal ray gun The same goes for their magic reserves, so we must find a way to allow them to fight continuously for a longer time."
The Byron Knight who came over to check the situation nodded in agreement: "The enemies on the battlefield will not give it. You let your magic capacitor slowly recharge for a few hours."
"We have found the first place that can be modified," Gawain opened his mind and found his familiar rhythm again. He looked at it. To Hetty, Rebecca, and Jenny standing behind them, "Do you know the biggest difference between this new 'magic weapon' and traditional magic props?"
Jenny: "Cheap?"
Hetty: "Easy to use?"
Rebecca: "The name is super cool!"
"The difference The thing is, once the magic power of traditional magic props is exhausted, you either have to wait for it to recover on its own, or you have to find a mage to inject magic into it, and this thing we made..." Gawain casually put the magic power into it. He pulled out the crystal from the capacitor slot, took out another piece of magic storage crystal that Cheng Wen usually played with and rubbed walnuts, and plugged it in. "In case of emergency, you can refresh the number of spells at any time... Why can't it be inserted?"
Rebecca explained seriously: "...Sir Ancestor, you didn't say before that the crystals on the magic capacitor can be replaced, so Dandan made the slots disposable when combining them. "When you pulled out the crystal, you already deformed the base."
Hetty next to him quickly took over the second half of the sentence: "Of course, the slot can be adjusted. This is completely a minor problem, Zu."The ideas you put forward first are more important! "
Gawain: "..."
He can hardly remember the last time he succeeded in pretending.
But this is embarrassing. He quickly ignored it and returned to the topic with a straight face: "Hetty, please record the modifications: leave an opening for easy opening and closing of the magic capacitor, so that soldiers can quickly replace exhausted crystals on the battlefield. . In this way, in low-intensity or short-term battles, the magic capacitor that comes with the thermal energy ray gun can complete the battle, and in emergencies, the battle can be continued by relying on external energy sources. "
Hetty recorded it, but then frowned: "Ancestor, the reason why you designed the structure of the magic capacitor was to solve the problem of the low output of the magic network unit and the low-quality crystal magic storage at the same time. These two issues are short-term, but if soldiers are required to replace crystals on the battlefield, how should the magic power in the 'spare crystals' they carry be maintained? Are they supposed to use expensive, high-quality magic storage crystals as backup crystals? "
"This is putting the cart before the horse," Gawain smiled and shook his head, "The huge output of low-quality magic storage crystals is the magic weapon for arming the army. The low-quality crystal you mentioned will dissipate energy when soldiers carry it, so why don't we design a carrying method that can avoid dissipation? ”
Gawain just gave a little reminder, and Rebecca’s brain was already running quickly, and after running for a few seconds, an idea came to her: “We can Design a large-scale 'capacitor' similar to a magic capacitor, such as a box composed of many magic network units. Its function is to store crystals and slowly charge the crystals. With ten or eight spare crystals stuffed inside, just put By making those base plates thinner, they won't weigh more than the spare swords a soldier usually carries—one or two fewer spare swords, and you can carry a storage box like this. "
Byron Knight, who was originally not very interested in thermal ray guns, was also attracted by this discussion and couldn't help but follow Rebecca's words: "In this way, the magic storage crystals carried by the soldiers not only Instead of slowly dissipating energy, it keeps recharging. They put the replaced depleted crystal back into the container. Maybe one can be refilled during the battle - in a battle that lasts for a long time, this much is full. One of their crystals might be able to save their lives! "
"A combat backpack that matches the thermal ray gun..." Gawain smiled and looked at Rebecca, "The principle of this thing is very simple, but the magic network unit must be lightweight. And you have to ensure that the charging efficiency remains unchanged, and its design is left to you. "
Rebecca proudly knocked her staff to the ground and raised her face: "Don't worry, ancestor! I'm great at this! It can be done in a few days! "
This momentum is as if we are planning to rush out of the city with a sledgehammer and kill seven in and seven out...
"In addition, we also need to strengthen the thermal ray gun 'Versatility' and 'Extensibility'," Gawain nodded, letting HettyContinuing to record, I also told Nicholas Dan, "Let the Machinery Manufacturing Institute dismantle the thermal energy ray gun into components that can be industrially mass-produced. My requirement is that most of its components should be easily disassembled and replaceable. , each part must be easy to process and durable, especially the base plate of the searing ray - if possible, we should design this base plate and the magic guide material connected to the base plate into a standard that can be combined at will Structure, that is to say, future thermal energy ray guns can be stuffed with scorching ray arrays, or other general-purpose substrates, and turned into other weapons, or even into other armors and tools - I call this modularity ."
Hetty's pen stopped involuntarily, and she opened her eyes slightly: She had heard the word modular from Gawain more than once, but it was not until this time that she finally seemed to realize it. What it can achieve.
While thermal ray guns and combat backpacks were gradually being discussed, in the west of New Cecil Territory, an outsider set foot on this land.
This is a strong man with a strong presence:
He has short light brown hair, which is messy and unmanaged, and his beard seems to have been shaved, but It was obvious that he had shaved very carelessly, so that stubble of varying lengths still remained on his chin. His face had been weathered and had lost its luster, but it had a kind of perseverance, and in his deep eye sockets, there was The eyes have a brilliance that common people of this era do not have.
Compared with this appearance, what is more eye-catching is the man’s condition and clothing:
He is dusty but full of energy. He is wearing the priest’s attire of the Holy Light Church. , but the supposedly gorgeous divine robe looked shabby. He had a Bible slung around his waist and a holy emblem on his chest. He looked like a priest—but he was tall and strong like a warrior.
This Holy Light Priest, who was so strong that he seemed to be able to punch cultists to death, was walking on the gravel road in Cecil's territory. His shoes were worn out from the long journey and he wiped his forehead. Sweating, he lowered his head and glanced at the opened document in his hand:
I hereby appoint the Lord’s loyal servant, the priest of the Holy Light, Wright Aviken, to go to the Southern Territory to preach the Lord’s teachings. Preach the way of the Holy Light.
