Looking at the rare positive look on Tire's face, Gawain knew that he had finally caught the fish - but he was not quite sure how he succeeded in fishing, because according to him The original plan was that he would drag Tire around outside for a while, using various things from the human world to arouse the fish's interest little by little, but he didn't expect that this guy would be directly attracted by the rainbow cannon. interest.
But it’s not bad, I took the bait anyway.
"Are you interested in the Rainbow Cannon?" Gawain looked at Tyr, "Is this thing also very powerful in the eyes of you sirens?"
"Awesome? Powerful It's indeed good, but we don't lack weapons..." Tyr shook his head, "I'm just curious...how do you restrain such powerful and pure arcane energy...and how do you remove this energy from the ordinary magical environment? "Extracted from it!"
Tear is not interested in the Rainbow Cannon itself - for the once extremely developed Kraken civilization, the manufacturing process and engineering technology of this new weapon are not too Brilliant thing, but she became curious about the principle behind the Rainbow Cannon and the Cecil people's way of controlling magic.
Gawain quickly figured this out. He looked at Tier’s eyes that had finally lost their sleep. He did not respond to the other party’s request immediately, but asked: “Can I ask specifically? Why are you interested in this part of technology? You sirens often observe races on land. Have you never been interested in our magic technology system before? The magic technology system?" Tire patted the Aurora's deck with his tail, "Ha, are you talking about the 'skill' system invented by you people on land? Or is it the first, second and third level magic circle? It's different! Your 'skill' system is of no use to us. Haven't you discovered this thing yourself? It's a more essential energy utilization technology, which comes from the magic network. It extracts energy, then adjusts, restrains, focuses, and finally launches it. What level of magic is it? There are no such unnecessary concepts at all!"
Miss Siren is rarely so excited. Her tail kept slapping on the deck. Although her words seemed a little difficult to understand to others, and even a little confusing, Gawain vaguely understood in his heart what this siren cared about——
The "Universal Energy" attribute of the Magic Network.
Human beings have spent thousands of years creating a set of "skill trees" to convert magic into skills of various levels and spells of various types, using countless complex and different techniques. The same spells and spell models are used to convert magic into specific phenomena. However, this "skill" that only humans can understand and master is meaningless to the sirens. Their life form seems to determine that they cannot do it at all. To understand human magic, you can neither learn it nor use it.
What they need is "universal energy".
But it seems that it is also caused byRegarding the problem of life forms, they have never found a way to convert magic power into universal energy.
The Rainbow Cannon allowed Tier to see a brand new technical route. From the destructive beam, she felt the power that was enough to allow the Sirens to break some kind of bottleneck, and this power... was not A rigid skill, but pure energy drawn from the magic network, tuned by the rune array, and focused by the rainbow crystal. This energy can be fired as a weapon, but as long as the control runes are changed, it can also be used. Use it elsewhere.
Gawain knew that the Sirens had an ancient lost city. The energy reactor in the city had been extinguished for many years. They needed a powerful new energy source to ignite the reactor. They dug it from the seabed. Although the flesh and blood of the gods are powerful, perhaps because they cannot be completely transformed, they can only maintain the "residual temperature" of the reactor, but cannot revive the entire city.
After thinking briefly, Gawain broke the silence: "Can the rainbow cannon 'ignite' your reactor?"
"Maybe it's not possible now, it's not powerful enough, and Compared with our core fusion tower, it is just a small spark..." Tier turned his head and looked at the rainbow cannon on the deck in awe, "But you made this spark appear..."
Most of the technologies that can change the world have crude prototypes at the beginning of their birth, even crude enough to make ignorant people sigh "What's the point of this fancy thing?" In the eyes of high-level civilizations, This simplification is particularly serious.
Only very few people at this stage realize the value behind these "little sparks" and the extent to which they can grow.
Gawain did not expect that Tire, who was usually sleepy-eyed, would have such a vision, but he was very glad that Tire had such a vision.
Fish with good eyesight generally have solid hooks.
"I will give you a whole one," Gawain smiled and nodded to Tyr, "Of course, you have to pay something."
"You just have to pay for it. "Speak up," Tyr slapped his tail on the deck very confidently, "I am a war priest after all, and I will definitely be of great use to you. Or if you want wealth and treasures, then I can think of it too?" There is a way, over there in the deep sea..."
"I have no interest in your personal combat power and personal savings," Gawain interrupted Tire, "Technology must be exchanged for technology."< /p>
"In exchange for technology?" Tyr blinked, "What do you mean?"
"How much do you know about shipbuilding?"
Gawain this As soon as the question was asked, Byron next to him showed an expression of "Finally we have reached this point." Obviously, this gentleman knight had already known what his lord's intention was in bringing this siren here, but he had just finished checking the rainbow. In the state of the light cannon, Rebecca, who was strolling over, was stunned for a moment after hearing Gawain's words. She blinked and looked at Gawain: "Master Ancestor, are you shooting?"Are you going to let Miss Till help us build the ship? "
After receiving Gawain's affirmative answer, Rebecca couldn't help but scratch her hair and looked at Tier with doubts in her eyes: "But can she do it? "
Before Tire could answer Gawain's question, he heard Rebecca's question. She looked puzzled: "Why do you think I don't know this? "
Rebecca was probably still immersed in the rune set and mechanical structure of the rainbow cannon, her head was dizzy without turning around, and she said casually: "Do you siren still need to build a ship? It's not like you can't swim..."
Tiel couldn't help but look Rebecca up and down: "You humans can still walk, why are you building cars? "
Rebecca's expression suddenly became silent, and it took her a long time to hold back a sentence: "Yes..."
Put this girl who is always out of the channel. After looking aside, Tyr turned to Gawain again, "You want me to help you build the ship, right? OK, I have no problem, but I have to explain a few points first.
"First, what I understand as 'shipbuilding' is definitely different from your current shipbuilding technology. In most cases, we don't need a ship that always floats on the water, and also We have to keep water vehicles sealed and dry, but this is not a big problem. With our technology in manufacturing water vehicles, it is not difficult to surpass you even in areas that we are not good at - this is not an offense, but Facts.
“Secondly, I can tell your craftsmen a lot of knowledge, such as fluid mechanics, materials science, special coating technology, and even power technology, but it is very likely that these technologies They will be too advanced to be realized, because they require a lot of pre-technical and industrial foundations, and I don’t know how to come up with these things step by step. So it's possible that I've been your consultant for a few years and made a lot of good drawings, but your craftsmen still can't make anything, and you don't blame anyone for that.
"Finally, although I agreed to the technology exchange, I agreed in my personal name. I cannot contact the Deep Sea Royal Court now, so all my commitments are limited to my personal authority. I only I can help you build ships, but I won’t help you with anything involving weapons or other war technology. But if our Kraken and Cecil establish a longer-term relationship in the future, I will help you and my people build a good relationship. Relationship."
After Tier finished mentioning these three items, Gawain looked at the other party and confirmed again: "Is that all?"
Til thought for a while. : "Well... help me make the pool in the room bigger. Sprinkle more salt on a regular basis. There is nothing else required."
"Of course it's no problem," Gawain couldn't help laughing. He said, "I can agree to all these requests, and in exchange, you can follow Kamel and Rebecca to learn about the universal energy technology behind the rainbow cannon - when you understand enough and think the conditions are ripe , you can choose to send these technologies back to the deep sea, and I also welcome you to bring other Kraken over, of course.If you want to leave early, you must leave us enough technical information on the ship. ”
Miss Siren happily agreed.
The deal that Gawain had been thinking about for a long time was finally reached.
He finally obtained this superb The technology of the lost civilization - although only a small part of it.
As for the situations raised by Tyr, he actually thought about it from the beginning.
The Kraken is the same as any other. The races on land are all completely different civilizations, and their technology comes from the "Lost Era" that was unknown several rounds of demonic tides ago. This determines that their technical route cannot be the same as that of humans. Just in "shipbuilding", Gawain is There is more than one major "divergence point" that can be thought of:
The Kraken's first ship was most likely a submarine - because they developed underwater. The first submarine should have no concept of sealing at all. The inside is filled with the same sea water as the outside, just like the open carriage made by humans - this is determined by their life form
Even if it is built on the surface of the water. On board the sailing ship, the Kraken probably never considered any life-saving facilities such as escape boats. They might not even know how to build a watertight compartment. What if the ship sinks? What if the submarine sinks? What to do? Let’s push it on the seabed! What if the whole ship breaks apart on the spot? Let’s swim back - this is most likely the most reasonable idea of a Kraken ship engineer...
But even so, Gawain still believes that the Siren Tyr can bring a huge boost to the shipbuilding technology in the territory.
If nothing else, Tyr's casual mention of "fluid mechanics" proves it. His judgment - this is a coined word, which is a forcibly combined word "flow" and "law" in human common language. Till stumbled a bit when he said it, and Byron next to him When he and Rebecca heard this word, they were completely confused, but Gawain knew what it meant as soon as he heard it.
In addition, there is no sealing technology for the ships built by the sea monsters now. , but Gawain was not worried at all, because he remembered Tyr saying that the Kraken's city was originally a giant ship that could fly. Based on the survival needs of these saltwater fish, the ship should have simulated an "ocean" "Ecosystem", so they must have very amazing sealing technology now -
Sealing water outside the ship is the same as sealing water inside the ship (Hu Yan gibberish).
Of course, considering the huge difference between the Kraken's "shipbuilding" technology and that of humans, Gawain must carefully consider the working methods of the "Cecil Shipbuilding Bureau" after returning to prevent the ships built from being too powerful. The "Siren characteristics" are not practical, and we have to consider that Till is not a professional technician in the Siren after all. She is probably a "keyboard warrior" (a water group theory expert) similar to herself, so in the end It is better to let this fish only serve as a special consultant instead of the project commander...
