The formation of the Melting Sword marks the further improvement of the combat effectiveness and combat form of Cecil's combat soldiers - in this world where there are various magic and counter-magic, a single long-range weapon or melee weapon is difficult to deal with. The complex battlefield situation, and the melting sword is filling the current shortcomings of Cecil's combat soldiers, and its other great significance is the ideological progress of the local craftsmen and technicians led by Cecil.
Unlike the new things that appeared in the Cecil Territory in the past, the "Melting Sword" was completed by local people from the initial conception to the birth of the final product. Except for Gao Wen when he originally chose the technical route. In addition to making some suggestions, all technical and creative aspects of the entire process were not participated by him as a "plug-in". The craftsmen, technicians, knights, and warriors in the territory brainstormed to complete the design and finalization of the new weapon. As far as the author is concerned, the significance contained in this even exceeds the technological achievement of the Melting Sword itself.
During the manufacturing process of the Melt-Cut Sword, he saw the ability of the world's local technicians to use existing technologies and materials to process and create - the blade of the Melt-Cut Sword uses a material called "Purple Steel" is a special magical material. This material has extremely special properties. It is extremely resistant to high temperatures and can hardly be smelted and processed in any form of high-temperature forge. It can only be smelted in a specific intensity of arcane energy environment. Only the purple steel will show plasticity; on the other hand, the insulation material in the melting sword uses a mixture of quartz sand and crystal dust. This mixture is made from various magic substances in the "Magic Crystal Smelting Plant" A by-product during processing, it has the characteristics of extremely high temperature resistance and poor heat conduction. After being mixed with an acidic binder, it can become a very strong filling material between metal materials...
And the sword The so-called "heat insulation" rune on the body is one of the most commonly used basic runes by magicians in the laboratory. It can restrain heat and direct it to the gaps in the rune group. In the laboratory, magicians usually Use it as an outer layer of protection for the alchemy table to prevent it from being destroyed by magic with extremely high temperatures (after all, many magic experiments require extreme environments, and the material of the alchemy table itself cannot withstand all extreme magic. effect), rune craftsmen who often help magicians arrange alchemical devices cleverly used this rune on the Melting Sword, allowing it to bind all the heat energy near the blade in a nearly "focused" manner...
These are substances or technologies that belong exclusively to this world. Their unique properties can only be described as incredible to technicians on earth. However, this seemingly backward "medieval world" has Gao Wen felt a lot about having his own set of technical routes to process and handle them.
On the second day after the Melting Sword was finalized and put into production, a brand new magical device was being erected in the Lord's Square in the center of the city.
A large group of magic technicians - the "magic industry technicians" unique to the Cecil Territory - are busy under the leadership of Kamel.The covered "big man" was transported to the center of the square, and then the metal cover on the ground in the center of the square began to be dismantled, and the magic network connection end under the cover was exposed. The magic technicians used various talismans that had carved the magic circle in advance. Wen Jiban measured the condition of the magic net and confirmed that the connection end was working well. Kamel controlled the mage's hand and the weight reduction technique to move the two-meter-tall "big guy" above the connection end.
People were attracted by this unusual scene and stopped around the square one after another. They noticed that there were soldiers guarding the inner area of the square, but there were no signs of martial law outside the inner area. Cecil The citizens of the territory are accustomed to this situation: this means that the lords and scholars have created incredible new things, which have a great effect on the territory, and the common people can watch them at will from a safe distance. .
In other aristocratic lands, commoners would never be interested in the affairs of the lord, because it mostly has nothing to do with their daily lives. The so-called "nobles belong to the nobility, and untouchables belong to the untouchables" is In this way, however, in Cecil Territory, people are gradually getting used to paying attention to any changes that occur in the territory, because they know that-all these are closely related to their lives.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of curious eyes, the large device covered by a tarpaulin landed firmly on the connection end of the magic network. Then Kamel’s mage’s hand unveiled the tarpaulin, revealing a huge and A mysterious magical device appears in front of everyone.
It is a two-meter-high square tower made of crystal and metal - it is the finalized magic obelisk. Compared with the original "prototype" which was only half a meter high, It's bigger, more beautiful, and more stable and efficient.
The magic technicians immediately began to fix and connect the obelisk. They had already drilled a round hole for fixing in the center of the square in advance, and now they began to use strong bolts to secure the magic device The ground is fixed on the ground, and the other group of people are responsible for welding the connecting ends extending from the ground to the base of the obelisk. Their arms are equipped with "arm armors" similar to military magic terminals, but the arm armors are equipped with It is not a lethal scorching ray substrate, but a hot melt beam with reduced power and range and enhanced continuous output performance. This array based on the scorching ray is a new technology of the Rune Research Institute. For Jenny, who has cracked the secrets of almost all low-level runes, it is easy to make such a transformation.
Kamael’s gaze has long stayed on the “industrial magic terminals” equipped by magic technicians. He knows that these magic terminals can also be equipped with various functional components, from Melt beams to cooling beams, even power drills and cutting saws can be installed - just replace the outer shell or the module inside. In terms of versatility, this magic terminal has even more functions than a military terminal. Of course, its power is much lower than that of military models.
According to the lord, this industrial magic terminal is just an "intermediate product", their ultimate goal is to achieve civilian use, so that ordinary people in the Cecil Territory can use it in their daily lives.
The arcane sparks on Kamel's face flickered as he watched those magic technicians who didn't know any magic at all use the power of magic to melt the metal and install the base of the magic obelisk. Fixed, their operations are so smooth, even better than real magicians - in fact, since they don't have to be distracted to maintain magic and chant spells, they will even do better in the future.
"Magic is just a kind of power. Mages can use it, ordinary people can use it, and everyone can use it." What a crazy idea, but what's even crazier is that it is gradually becoming more common in this land. accomplish.
"The bolts are all fixed." "The connection ends are welded." "The first layer of runes is lit, and the magic connection has been established."
"Master Kamel, the installation is completed Are you going to activate the obelisk? Master Kamel... Master Kamel?" Several calls from his ears made Kamel recover from his distraction, and he floated slightly. , coughed twice majestically to cover up his embarrassment, and then looked at the magic energy obelisk that had been installed.
He could easily see the magical power flowing inside and outside the device without getting closer to observe it. It was obvious that the installation by the technicians was perfect and it had entered the best working condition.
"Open the obelisk and release the limiter." Kamel hummed.
A magic technician stepped forward, pressed the rune trigger device located on the base of the obelisk, and fixed it with a safety latch. With a low buzzing sound, this large The magical device immediately began to fill with a wonderful blue glow, and the original dark purple crystal body gradually became brighter, while its various components slowly floated up under the action of the floating circle and entered the predetermined position in mid-air...< /p>
The surging magical energy swept across the entire square instantly. Almost no one could feel the blowing of this energy. However, Kamel opened his arms in the magical energy and quietly enjoyed the fullness of the magic. feeling.
After adjusting his arcane flow, he no longer feels the "itch".
The soldier who had been waiting nearby immediately stepped forward. After receiving confirmation from the technical staff, the soldier took out the "preaching materials" written by the previous lord and began to explain this to the people gathered in the square loudly. The function of the device and the safety instructions during its operation, but Kamel did not pay attention to what the soldiers were preaching. He just raised his head and looked at the sky above Cecil's territory.
A white snowflake fluttered down. It was affected by the magic whirlpool, swirling and falling on the edge of the square, followed by more snowflakes, one after another, floating. Falling from the sky flutteringly.
It’s snowing. Since the beginning of winter, the southern region has experienced multiple snowfalls, but in Kamel’s eyes, the snowflakes falling at this moment seem to have a different meaning.
"Do you want to extinguish the light of human civilization?"
The magician from ancient times stared quietly at the sky, watching the falling snow that was constantly falling from the sky and getting bigger.
"You can't quench it."
In the middle of the first winter in the New Cecil Territory, the first magic obelisk in human history was lit.
In the Lord's Mansion opposite the Lord's Square, Gawain stood on the balcony, quietly watching the scene in the square through the open window. After the magic obelisk was lit, he revealed a A faint smile - no excessive joy, because everything was expected, and the biggest surprise was already experienced when the "prototype" was designed.
He turned around, returned to the room from the balcony, and picked up an improved "receiving device" that was only half the size of a palm from the desk. He installed the receiving device on the wall of the room. In the newly installed card slot, with a soft "click" sound, the receiving device was tightly connected to the magic circuit in the room, and a magic crystal lamp specially used to test the magic field lit up.
Hetty was already standing in the room. She looked at Gawain with a smile: "Ancestor, the first magic obelisk has been lit. After that, we will attack the magic within the range as planned. The guidance machine will be modified to add a receiving device that can receive the magic field. From then on, the newly produced magic equipment in the factory will be directly pre-installed with the 'magic field receiver'. As for the magic crystal lamps used as street lamps, they will not be modified and will still be used. The old magic network system directly supplies energy."
Gawain nodded: "Very good, just follow the plan."
"To be honest, I thought you would go in person. Hosting this 'opening ceremony', just like previous similar occasions," Hetty looked at Gawain with a smile, "After all, it is such an important moment."
"An important moment in the future. There will be many more, and I don't need to be there every time. Let Kamel show up this time - he also needs the acceptance and recognition of the people in the territory," Gawain said lightly, "It's better than going to the square to host it. "Start-up ceremony," we have more important things to do now."
"You mean... the report that came from the Dark Mountain Observation Tower at noon today?"
"Yes, the Great Wall flashed once - that's not a good sign."
