Section 48 New Weapons and Equipment
For the next half hour, Pedi wrote a lot on the notepad intermittently, and then thought quietly for a while before returning the notepad to Leah, and gathered up his mood and walked quickly to the church door.
The paladins outside knew that the king didn't like noisy scenes, and had already left silently when the holy power was gone.
"Your Majesty, there has been news from the command that His Excellency Omich has arrived in Twak City, and he has invited you to the garrison camp outside the city, saying that he has new equipment to show you. "Wolfmar reported as soon as the king walked out of the church," and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of El Luk City will be participating in the government's round table in two hours, and Sir Derick Denny asks if you have time to check it out. ”
"Omich has arrived at the front?" Peidi asked subconsciously.
"This damn goblin engineer, you don't have to ride in a carriage with the teleportation array, if it weren't for his usefulness, I'd really like to throw him into the sea to feed the fish. Pedi took the document handed by the secretary general and looked at it casually, "I can't wait to see what good things he brings me, as for the round table in two hours... I'm not used to being on an equal footing with merchants. ”
...
Because considering that the city of Iruk had just been incorporated into the kingdom, the camp of the city garrison troops was set up outside the city, and the security of other areas in the city except for the garrison of the city wall was temporarily only responsible for the police pickets and the local militia regiment.
Today's training in the camp was twice as heavy as before, but the soldiers did not complain, but showed their prowess with all their might, because today His Majesty the King would come to inspect the camp.
In the northern corner of the bustling training ground, in a makeshift cordon set up by the King's bodyguard, the King and the generals of the camp were circling around a steel heavy weapon.
"This is our newly developed artillery, which is enlarged according to the principle of the musket. Omich excitedly introduced to the king and the generals, "It is more than a hundred times more powerful than ordinary muskets." ”
"Of course, all thanks to your reminder, Your Majesty. Omich said and bowed to the king.
"How about trying the power. Bowenwright put his hand on the muzzle of the gun.
"As you wish, sir. Omiqi's smile at the moment was like that of the profiteers in the morning market.
"Hey, didn't you hear that, they want to see our merchandise. Omich yelled at two staff members wearing Union Lab logos not far away.
The two staff members, who were also goblins, heard Omiqi's yelling and immediately shouted a few words to the other companions around them, performed a nondescript etiquette as they approached the king, and then began to assemble the pulley parts with a chatter.
As the "click" gear turned, the half-human-tall steel cannon moved out of its cargo box.
"Tell your soldiers to be careful, don't let them enter this training ground at will, or I won't be responsible for any accidents. Omiqi and his two assistants drew a clearing out of white sand in a place ahead, and when the apprentice created a deep arc in the clearing, just enough for the cannons, he shouted to the generals next to him.
The generals smiled noncommittally, and when Omiqi saw their indifferent looks, he immediately said: "The power of the cannon is greater than the power of the magic energy musket before, the strike range of ordinary cannonballs is within one thousand meters, and the explosion range is within five meters, if it is equipped with a cannonball that depicts the magic circle, then its power will be increased by two to three times." ”
"This is no joke. Bowenwright nodded politely to Omiqi, after all, the other party was a member of the National Intelligence Office, and he looked at Omiqi very seriously: "If the power of this steel monster is really as you said, it will completely change the automatic welding form in the future, but the premise is that you have to make it mass-produced." ”
"Let's try it. Omich shrugged and turned his head to look at the artillery that had been positioned.
"Reload!" At Omiqi's urging, two goblin assistants came running with a two-wheeled cart filled with two batches of cannonballs filled with steel, one of which was ordinary, and the other of which was known to have a circle and a magical device embedded in it.
First of all, the ordinary cannonball was loaded under the skillful override of the two goblin engineers, the process was similar to the loading of the musket, except that the guy was bigger, Omiqi showed an excited expression on his face, "Everyone, witness the charm of the goblin project!"
Omiqi channeled his pitiful mental power at the ignition position, and the simple ignition circle was activated in an instant, and it continued to flash red light. When the Omiqi circle was activated, he immediately covered his ears with his hands and reminded the king and generals behind him: "The explosion is loud!"
"Boom"
A loud bang suddenly sounded as soon as Omiqi finished reminding him, shocking many of the generals who were watching the excitement.
"Boom"
Louder explosions echoed over the training ground as the ground shook, sending the dirt flying on the training ground in the distance.
"Well, this kind of shooting distance and power is much more powerful than a heavy crossbow, right?" Omiqi looked at the shocked generals and tilted his head triumphantly, "Now let's try the magic cannonball." ”
"Wait!" Pedi stepped forward, "We can't get the exact power of the cannon from your test like this, we have to use a reference..."
"Don't bother, my majesty. Omich took two steps towards the king, "We have a record of the test data, you can have whatever kind of data you want." ”
"Then why don't you just give me the data?"
"No matter how good the data is, it is not as convincing as witnessing the moment of the explosion. The smile on Omiqi's face completely drowned out his big eyes.
"Nice persuasion. Bowenwright stepped forward as well, "Adjust it to the maximum range and use the magic cannonball to see if you can fire it." ”
"As you wish, sir. Omiqi's eyes lit up, and he took a cannonball with a magic circle on his calf and showed it to everyone, and said: "This is a simple fire magic, the magic energy stored in the magic guide device embedded in it, the moment the explosives in it explode, it will release a 'wall of fire', and the flames will burn until the magic energy is consumed." ”
The "clang" shells have been skillfully loaded with Omiqi's explanation, and his two assistants are constantly muttering: "The longest distance, the maximum load..."
"I'm going to start ignition!" Omich shouted at the nearby generals after knocking off his assistant's attempt to ignite the fire, kicking it away roughly.
The generals had been prepared for the previous lesson, but they did not cover their ears like Omiqi, because they had heard louder noises on the battlefield than before.
While the cannon trembled slightly and moved backwards as it was fired, the sound of explosion accompanied by the sparks of the cannon's muzzle, the magic circle on the pitch-black magic cannonball flashed continuously, and it flashed in front of everyone's eyes with a piercing sound of breaking the air.
"Boom" at a distance of more than a thousand meters, and the shells exploded almost at the end of the training ground.
Pedi took the lookout goggles from Hu Cong's hand, looked at the burning wall of fire that covered the explosion area after the explosion, and whispered, "The power is okay, but can this cannonball be mass-produced?"
"How many of these guns can you supply now?" asked Bowenwright more directly.
"Now there are only ten crosses, and I have brought them all, for which I have endured nearly half a month of bumpy travel. Omiqi may have recalled things that were not very good, and his body trembled slightly as if he was afraid, but then he looked at Bowen Wright with an excited expression, "Do you want to buy it?"
Bowenright hadn't dealt much with Omich, and he was stunned by the goblin advisor's barrage of words, but he didn't know how to answer, because changing the equipment of the troops was not at all up to him, the chief of staff, had the final say.
"We need to look at the trial data first. Pedi picked up a magic cannonball and observed.
"No problem, I have ready-made. ”
"Sir, give these ten guns to the Fifth Army outside Ronice Canyon first, so that they can familiarize themselves with it first. Pedi handed the cannon to Leah, who couldn't wait for him, the Fifth Army had a goblin corps, and compared to human soldiers, goblins were much more powerful in computing.
"Where's your other product?" said Pedy, looking at Omic as Bowenwright took the order.
"You're going to love it. Omiqi rummaged through the large leather bag he was carrying and found something in the shape of a bracer, "The Magical Shield Device, the previous failed product, and thanks to the help of the Mage Tower, we have rebuilt a new magic circle. ”
"Hum" When everyone's eyes were focused on the cannon, Omiqi skillfully put the shield device on his wrist and opened it, like a bee spreading its wings and flying high, the sound sounded as the shield of the device unfolded, and a physical magic light curtain flashing blue light unfolded in front of Omiqi.
"A very special kind of shield magic, stable and efficient. Archmage Leah immediately commented, "Ordinary attacks can't break through such a shield..."
"No, the conclusion from our experimental data is that as long as there is magic energy in the magic guide device, no attack can shatter the shield's shield without the magic breaking equipment. As Omic spoke, he turned a switch on the inside of the device, and the trembling sound of "buzzing" suddenly sped up the rating.
"This is impossible, how can artificial adjustment be achieved in the established magic circle?" Leah tossed the magic cannonball in her hand to the nearest goblin engineer, and as she spoke, the magic shield in front of Omiki turned dark blue at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Zi" Leah suddenly took out her staff and built a huge circle in front of her, and when the circle was completed, a crimson spear appeared, and when the "when" spear appeared, it stabbed itself in an arc and stabbed at the shield in front of Omiqi.
"Hey, do you want my life?" Omic screamed, "Lordan's power, rumored high-level magic that can pierce the Lordan Mountains!"
"But it can't pierce the shield. Leah raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say that as long as there is demonic energy, all attacks except for demonic means cannot shatter it?"
"Theory, that's theory, although we have done experiments, but..."Omiqi subconsciously wanted to argue, but as soon as his sharp voice sounded, his eyes rolled and he looked at the king and generals next to him, "Your Majesty, you saw it, I finished it, it is perfect now..."
"Everything was perfect except for the fact that it was consumed a little fast. Omiki continued to show off the magical device on his wrist without changing his face.
"Very good, you solved the stability problem of it. Pedi was more interested in the Magic Shield Device, "But, have you solved the problem of its mass production?" "Its existence could reduce the casualty rate of soldiers, but its production is a problem. Because magic is involved, if magic can be mass-produced, the war will not be fought like it is now, but the soldiers on both sides can throw magic scrolls.
The same is true of the magic energy cannon just now, not only Pei Di but also the surrounding generals no longer question its power, they are worried about the problem of mass production.
"Thanks to the kingdom's current good diplomatic relations with the elves and the kingdom of Misha, they no longer retain the technology of the magic device, and the sea elves bring us a steady stream of magic materials in the deep sea. Omiqi opened the outer shell of the wrist device and took out a rectangular black stone-like thing inside, which was the magic energy crystal, a device that could store magic energy.
"And Magic Products are recyclable, as long as we charge them. Omiqi looked at Archmage Leia, "It's like the Navy's magic guide product, Archmage Leah should know about the construction of the charging circle, right?"
"Of course. Leah immediately knew what Omiqi was planning, she took the magic energy crystal at the king's signal, and quickly built a charging circle, and a faint blue light began to fill her palm, but it quickly disappeared.
After the charge was completed, the magic energy crystal, which was originally dull and dull like a black stone, immediately flashed with a blue light that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
"No matter how many times you look at it, the construction of the circle on it is so fascinating. Leah couldn't help but sigh.
"Elves have studied magic for tens of thousands of years, so it's not surprising that they have such knowledge. Omic took the magic crystal and reloaded the magic guide device in his hand, and the magic shield was activated again.
"It seems simple, but," Bowenright shook his head, "having a magician charge it is like entertaining a beggar with a piece of Felder steak." ”
"Yes, we also thought about this issue and solved it successfully. Omic smiled in response to Bowenwright's question.
