"This thing is planned in itself, only equipped with artillery, is it a complete eternal night battleship, you have been training for so long, you can't hold back in the inland river, the endless sea is your future development direction. Sean smiled and said, "But on the sea, we are not without enemies, according to accurate information, the third fleet of the Cummins family is very likely to be entrenched in the open sea, even if some of the warships are damaged, the number of other warships is also above us, especially those dreadnought-class warships, but the four-masted schooner will be larger." ”

"In the old naval battle mode, the larger the size, the more advantageous, but with artillery, the large size is not necessarily completely superior, especially when the firepower is not proportional. Achino laughed, "If the Cummins Third Fleet is really out of the open sea, it will be waiting there to send us warships, and if possible, my Explorer Fleet won't mind merging all of their Third Fleet." ”

"It's good that you have that kind of confidence. Sean nodded, "You still have two months to make final preparations, and at the beginning of spring next year, you can set sail to sea, giving you a year to explore all the coastal conditions around the Desperate Swamp." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done. Captain Achino replied in a loud voice.

"Let's all sit down, talk about the gains of this actual battle, and see if there is room for improvement, who will come first?" asked Sean.

"I'll do it first!" Captain Demps was the first to speak, "I think there is a big problem with the ballistics we are using now, it is too complicated, not only does it require a high level of personal knowledge from soldiers, but it is very troublesome to use on the battlefield. ”

Ballistics is indispensable for artillery, and the two complement each other.

The ballistics of the Eternal Night Commanders did not begin with artillery, they had already begun to study it when the artillerymen were still subordinate sappers, using catapults and ballistas as their main weapons.

This is a calculus calculation problem, in the case of knowing the force, weight, gravity, and air resistance, to calculate the distance of the projectile, even if there is no rune mathematics of President Abner, only Sean's mathematical knowledge in his previous life can solve this problem, the most troublesome problem is the gravity and air resistance of this world, in order to calculate this, it took a lot of thought and effort.

Even if the gravity and air resistance they calculated were 100% accurate, Sean and they couldn't completely bite it, so they could only say that eight or nine were not far from ten, and they just used it like that.

Before the artillery was launched, whether it was a catapult or a ballista, ballistics was only an auxiliary, and whether or not it could hit the target depended largely on luck.

After all, there is a great disparity between the force used by the catapult crossbow arm and the shape and weight of the ammunition itself, and even if their ballistics are calculated accurately, when they are launched, the basic force used is not accurate, and it will naturally be a thousand miles away.

In many cases, catapults and ballistas rely on experience, and the accuracy of an experienced catapult or ballista operator is definitely not comparable to that of beginners.

After the introduction of artillery, the importance of ballistics increased rapidly.

Whether it is a barrel or ammunition, it is produced on an industrial assembly line, whether it is the amount of charge or weight, when the suspension difference does not exceed the gram, many quantities are naturally fixed, and it is easier to calculate their landing point.

However, this kind of accurate calculation requires a lot of consideration, and requires quick calculation ability, and the quality requirements for soldiers are quite high, at least they must be graduates of the academy city.

Even so, the ballistics they use is rudimentary at best.

"Is there any good advice from Master Demps?" asked Sean curiously.

"A good suggestion is not a good idea, it can only be said to be an idea, but whether it can succeed or not depends on the lord's decision. Captain Temple's answer was very conservative.

"Tell me, why do you have to have the final say on your ideas?" Sean's curiosity was piqued.

"Since the lord can design a combat technique that accurately calculates the distance, why don't you do it in one step, according to our cannon type and ammunition weight, and directly design a one-step ballistic combat technique? Captain Demps threw out his ideas.

"Ballistics skills?" Because they themselves have ballistics that can be measured, so Sean really didn't think in this direction when shaping artillery skills, thinking about it carefully, this matter should not be so difficult, just need to substitute various known conditions into it, and quickly calculate the results.

Sean lightly buckled the table and said: "This matter is just something I didn't think of before, the difficulty should not be high, but once the combat skills are formed, it will mean that it will be very rigid, and it must be used for a certain type of artillery and a certain kind of shells at that time. ”

"Of course I know this, but this ballistics can be used as a temporary supplement to increase the real-time combat effectiveness of these artillerymen, and then slowly learn conventional ballistics. "Captain Demps is obviously a person who knows how to think, and when he pays attention to his fighting skills, he is obviously very thoughtful.

"Since the regiment commander has already thought about it so comprehensively, wait until I have time to study and study it to see if I can figure out the ballistics of the corresponding several artillery types and shells. Sean gave the other party a full affirmation, "This is a very good idea, if you can really get the ballistics combat skills, the artillery will be faster to get started with the artillery operation, very good, are there any other suggestions?"

"Not for the time being. Captain Demps shook his head, even after two wars, he was still touching the door for the new weapon of mortar, which did expose a lot of problems, but these problems could be improved through follow-up training, unlike combat skills, which required the cooperation of the lord, so naturally there was no need to raise it on this occasion.

"What about Master Baker, did you get anything out this time?" Sean turned his gaze to the real technician.

Artillery, a new branch of artillery, has increased its dependence on equipment to an unprecedented height, and how much combat effectiveness they can exert is only a small aspect, mainly in weapons, that is, manufacturers like Master Baker.

Not only Sean knew this, but the others present also knew this, and their eyes turned to Master Baker.

"There is indeed a lot of gains, especially the power of special ammunition, it is really unexpected, we can increase the research in this area in the future, but this involves the use of magic energy, we people belong to laymen after all, and we have to need warlocks to become successful, I heard that the lord specially assigned two warlocks to follow Mr. Ferdinand to study architecture, you can't favor one over the other, how can our Firearms Bureau be regarded as a large department, and it is a core unit, at least we have to assign ten warlocks, as specialized scientific researchers in the research of special ammunition." "Baker's master is the way of the Tao.

"We're discussing this experience, how did you turn into asking me for scientific researchers? You and Director Tobias are worthy of being old partners, even if you are an important person, you are also a virtue. Sean was a little stunned, and finally laughed and scolded.

Master Baker replied solemnly: "Our firearms bureau lacks warlock craftsmen, this is one of my biggest experiences this time, we need support in the firearms bureau in the future, we can't solve it every time with the lord, right? ”

"Okay! If you win, when you have time to go to the Northern Fortress to choose people, ten warlocks are impossible, and there are only a few students in the entire warlock academy! At most, five of you will be allocated. Sean bargained.

"Thank you, Lord. "Baker was overjoyed.

Even if Master Baker doesn't bring it up, the Eternal Night Commander will increase the research on magic shells, and even find a way to carry out industrial production, always using manpower to decompose spell energy, which is always not a thing.

Even charged gems have to find cheaper alternatives, even if it is cheaper jade, it is still jade.

Not to mention that jade now has another use - to build a mage tower, and the consumption is even more terrifying.

Compared to this natural raw material, the Eternal Night Commander still prefers artificial accommodations, among which glass and glass are a major consideration, but unfortunately their magic energy holding characteristics are not high.

In the past, there was nothing they could do, and they could only passively rely on the material's own demonic storage properties.

However, with the deepening of the study of magic energy and runic literature, they have opened up a new way, that is, in those glass and glass, the magic loops inlaid with spell pools, and after they are fired, they are naturally spell energy containers.

Once mass production can be carried out, the manufacturing cost of special artillery shells will plummet, at least by six or seven percent, and the power will increase by two to three times at the same weight.

Because these man-made containers can hold more magic energy.

When the time comes, if the special shells want to be mass-produced, only Sean needs to create a single magic energy separation filling line.

This is also known at the moment, and the method still comes from the energy reaction chamber.

The spell energy absorbed by the energy reaction chamber is as a single attribute when it enters it, and only after passing through its mixing device can it be mixed into multi-attribute spell energy.

All Sean needed to do was to intercept the spell energy before it was mixed and pour it into other containers.

At first, Sean just walked around the energy reaction chamber, thinking about how to start with it.

Until one day I suddenly realized that I had been a little too dependent on the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress for some time recently, and once I used the magic energy, I would think about it.

But I forgot the original intention at the beginning, that is, to analyze the energy reaction chamber and establish my own energy reaction chamber.

Building your own energy reactor is about to be put on the agenda, so why can't you build a single-element absorption device and put the absorbed elements into a container?

The energy reactor is actually a patchwork of these individual elemental absorbers, with the addition of a mixing and containment device.

In this way, the difficulty of building is undoubtedly greatly reduced, which is equal to one-eighth or even one-tenth of the energy reaction chamber, and if possible, it can even be made portable, moving around with the artillery, and temporarily producing special shells.

The significance of this device is especially significant for the Explorer fleet, so that they do not need to dock after each battle to be able to replenish special ammunition, and can be modified directly on the battleship.

This is all a later story, and it is difficult for others to help in this, so they gathered together to discuss the experience of artillery combat in this war, and at the same time to provide suggestions for the improvement and future development of artillery.

Improvement is improvement, and the speed of production of artillery in the arsenal under the Firearms Bureau is still non-stop.

As Marshal Tagore said, whether these artillery pieces are eliminated or not, that is a matter for the future, and now we have to use them first.

The Eternal Night Army is already at the forefront in this area, and it is more important to popularize artillery first than to climb to a higher level of technology.

Sean's current doppelganger is not many, but he still feels that he lacks skills, and he can't wait to break it for two minutes in one minute.

Brother Harbor was busy for a long time, only to remember that after the previous shock and closure of the consciousness space, he hurriedly ran here to watch the battle, but he didn't have time to open, and when he rushed back to this side, it was already a day later.

After reopening, there was a little reassuring explanation.

The importance of the consciousness space to the Eternal Night Army Leader is self-evident, whether it is military or scientific research, without it, the entire northern fortress is like losing its backbone, although it is not so much that it will not even be able to work, but it is always like a loss, and it feels like something is missing.

Although the restart of the consciousness space is not as troublesome as the first time it was built, it is not as simple as a one-click operation, not to mention that there are still many analysis tasks that need to be reconstructed.

When his soul consciousness was shaken, none of them survived, and all of them were scattered.

Fortunately, in these analysis tasks, Sean has already formed them into a pattern of soul runes, and he can restore them according to his memory.

Now that the consciousness space has been closed, Sean did not simply restart it, but took the opportunity to fill in the recent new harvest and some loopholes and imperfections exposed by the consciousness space in the past period.

Whether it is the soul blending with Chrystina, or the soul level war that he has just experienced, Sean is deeply aware of the uniqueness and fragility of the soul.

In the process of restarting the consciousness space, Sean strengthened the construction and protection of this aspect.

The first iron rule is that souls are forbidden to come into contact without protection.

This iron law works by default, and if there is a problem with the protective layer of souls in the consciousness space, they will be ejected as soon as possible.

The second major change in the space of consciousness is the partitioning.
