Chapter 491: Firearms Bureau
Although most of the energy of these spells will be recovered by the energy reaction chamber, there will always be some of it that will be taken away by nature, and Sean still cherishes it.
The amount of magical energy in the energy reactor chamber is amazing, but there is also a limit.
The Eternal Night Warlord is now being developed and utilized on a large scale, and the consumption rate is quite amazing, especially those that are absorbed and fused by the human body, and they will be taken out of the Northern Fortress forever.
Its importance to the Mage Tower is like gasoline to fuel equipment, without this thing, the consciousness space that Sean has created and so on, all have to stop functioning.
Now Sean has begun to plan ahead and find ways to increase the energy reserves in the energy reactor.
But there is no good way to think of it.
The energy reactor chamber is always in motion, constantly absorbing the magic energy around it.
However, it has its own farthest absorption distance, and the magic energy it can absorb has long been firmly absorbed by it.
Unless an energy reactor is built within its envelope that overlaps with its drawdown range and its drawdown range is built to increase its draw, the status quo can only be maintained.
And that's back to square one.
Sean has not yet been able to fully understand the energy reaction chamber, and there is no way to build his own energy reactor.
After all, if they can build their own energy reactor, then there is no need to limit themselves to this place.
Speaking of the energy reaction room, Sean recently had another whimsical idea, which was linked to the soul beast card.
When the soul beast card is in the state of summoning energy, it can use its soul consciousness as a carrier to transmit magic energy.
Does it mean that as long as his soul consciousness can absorb the magic energy, he can replenish the consumption of the soul beast body, and once the replenishment speed exceeds the consumption rate, even if he leaves the mage tower from a long distance, they can maintain a permanent existence state, so that even if he does not leave the mage tower, he can still do enough.
After thinking about it, Sean immediately started to try.
It is true that he has not yet eaten the energy reaction room, but it does not prevent him from reproducing it in the soul consciousness state, at most, it is intact, and the arrangement of each basic rune is exactly the same as the original, so it is okay.
In addition to being a little cumbersome, this matter is really not too much of a problem for Sean, there is not only soul programming in the front, but also the construction of consciousness space like a dream.
Using soul consciousness to weave things, he is already familiar with it.
While discussing with Ferdinand the finalization of the Mage Tower Complex, the first soul energy reactor chamber compiled by Sean had taken shape.
After dumping the construction of the mage tower group to Ferdinand, Sean couldn't wait to stuff this group of souls into the thundering golden eagle, and then the main consciousness shifted to it.
"It worked!" Sean's entire soul consciousness cheered.
The moment he entered the Thunder Golden Eagle, he felt that this time was different from the previous one.
When he was in the soul beast body before, Sean felt like he was wearing different costumes, he could only control them, and there was nothing he could do for them.
This time it was different, Sean's soul consciousness was like a whirlpool, continuously absorbing the surrounding magic energy, and then injecting it into the soul beast body.
Sean could tell that this was not injected into the soul beast body by the mage tower through his soul consciousness, but indeed injected through the soul consciousness to absorb the surrounding magic energy.
Because when the magic energy circulates in his soul consciousness, there is a mysterious and indescribable feeling, as if he has peeked into something, but when he thinks about it seriously, he can't say anything.
On the contrary, the cognition of the energy response chamber has been raised to a higher level.
Maybe they were thinking too much about the energy reaction chamber, but in fact, it didn't matter if they could fully decipher the meaning of the basic runes and spell circuits on the energy reaction chamber.
It's not really writing an article, it needs to be understood.
All they need to do is make a replica of the energy reactor chamber, like the soul consciousness.
As long as it works, why don't they care what kind of principles are followed?
They can build and study in parallel.
What you can do with your soul consciousness can definitely be done with actual materials.
You can even disassemble the energy reactor into different structures, give them to different arsenals for forging, and then assemble them where needed.
However, this matter is not the focus of this time, this time the focus is to test the effect of the soul energy reaction chamber.
After all, the distance from the mage tower is too close now, and the spell energy here is too strong, and the energy skeleton itself has a certain adsorption of spell energy, and the perception is not accurate.
Sean's mind moved, and the thunderous golden eagle soared into the sky and flew towards the mountain in the direction of the Andes Inland Lake.
He had already received a notice a few days ago that the artillery developed by the Eternal Night Army had been successfully cast and entered the test firing because it had solved the biggest technical problem.
This kind of event, which has a cross-era impact on the entire military structure, Sean should have been present in person.
It's just limited by the current state, so I can only give up.
Now it's possible, and Sean still wants to witness it for himself.
After all, under his own influence, the artillery research and development of the Eternal Night Army has crossed the precipitation and accumulation of years, directly crossed the era of arquebus, flintlock, smoothbore, etc., and rushed in the direction of the rifle, and the bullets and shells also directly crossed the shellless era and marched towards the shell.
The advantage of this is that they don't have to spend too much energy and time on these wrong paths.
The disadvantage is that the right development path requires very high materials, and a single steel material that is not up to standard will bother them for several years.
Fortunately, there is still a black technology in this world that helps solve such a problem, otherwise the Eternal Night Commander will have to retreat to the next best thing and study those technologies that will be eliminated sooner or later as temporary replacements.
Artillery manufacturing is not difficult to say, but simple is not simple.
It depended mainly on what kind of level you wanted to make.
If it was a simple smoothbore cannon pushed by a shot put or iron ball, the Eternal Night Army had successfully developed it in the second year of the establishment of the Firearms Bureau before the large-scale application of black powder.
Because it is a cannon barrel, which is stuffed with black powder and cannonballs, and ignites the process of pushing.
But this kind of artillery is basically useless.
Because it is too bulky, the range is short, the speed is slow, and the accuracy is even worse, but the manufacturing cost is dozens of times that of the catapult.
The kung fu of making this kind of artillery, the Eternal Night Commander has long taken local materials, built hundreds of catapults, and threw out the ignited black powder kegs, the effect is basically the same, and the requirements for the black powder itself are not so high.
Don't forget, there are also inhuman knights and champion knights in this world, and once they are targeted, artillery is a bulky weapon that is very easy to be targeted.
This means that they must start higher to become successful when they enter the war, and the direction of research and development cannot be exactly the same as in the previous life.
The problem of insufficient combustion of black powder also needs to be solved, which not only affects their power, but also produces smoke, which will fill the smoke after the shelling, which greatly affects the soldier's vision.
This is all in the future, everything must be done step by step, especially the high technology of artillery, not to mention a handful, how far it can go, it also depends on the overall development level of the Eternal Night Commander.
Just as Sean was spinning around the future direction of the military leader's development, the Thunder Golden Eagle had already crossed the mountains and left the maximum sphere of influence of the energy reaction chamber.
The energy injected into the soul beast body by the Three-Body Mage Tower through the soul consciousness is already as if it were nothing.
At this time, Sean fully felt the mystery of the soul energy reaction chamber.
Wind, water, earth, fire, light, darkness.
The five kinds of magic energy, pulled by the soul consciousness, drilled into it in wisps, and then circulated in his own soul, and various ingenious combination reactions occurred, until they fused into a non-attribute magic element, which was injected into the energy skeleton of the soul beast body.
Only when you leave the northern fortress can you feel how scarce the magic energy between heaven and earth is.
Even if there is a soul energy reaction chamber, the speed at which the magic energy is absorbed is not ideal.
According to Sean's experience, that is, to be able to maintain the Thunder Golden Eagle to rush at full speed, like the high-intensity battle outside the Mage Tower, basically don't think about it, at best, it is the same as before, after a short burst, it will enter a long-term energy storage state.
But for Sean, it was enough.
Even if every soul beast body can be used as most of the champion knights, there are still very few situations where he is really required to personally participate in the war.
He just used it as a clone, and didn't want to affect his control over the entire military leader because his body was trapped in the mage tower.
Attend a number of necessary occasions and meetings.
As more and more good things are in his hands, Sean's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, and the things that originally need to be hidden have begun to gradually let go.
The fact that at least five soul beasts represent Sean's clones is an open secret at the top of the Eternal Night Army.
During this time, when they went to the Northern Fortress to participate in academic exchanges, they all met with him.
This was done by Sean on purpose, in preparation for the more frequent use of the soul beast body in the future.
Sean's actions in the Northern Fortress Mage Tower during this time are too big, and there are too many eye-catching things.
A consciousness space can shock many people with aphasia, not to mention a series of things such as martial arts routines and system knowledge, which have already broken their cognition, making them excited and unable to help themselves, the soul beast body mixed in it is not so maverick, and the high-level leaders of the Eternal Night Army Leader accepted it logically, and did not delve into this issue.
People in this world, regardless of race, believe in the existence of souls, and Sean only proves this in disguise.
This is just another use of magical energy, and what is it for a person who can introduce the soul consciousness of others to a new world?
At the speed of the Thunderbolt, it only took Sean three hours to appear over the territory of the Firearms Bureau.
The location of the Firearms Bureau of the Eternal Night Army is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and the degree of closure is still above the northern fortress, except for the convoy of military supplies, there will be no outsiders in and out here all year round, and any fresh face, once discovered, will be thrown directly into the prison.
Speaking of top secret.
Enchanted equipment is far from it.
At best, enchanted equipment is an extreme use of cold weapons and personal combat power, and it is the icing on the cake for those great knights and champion knights.
With or without enchanted equipment, they are all mainstays on the battlefield.
Artillery, a new weapon that crosses the era, is the same as the energy reactor room, which is a top secret, and once the test is successful and mass production begins, even if there is no way to directly subvert the existing mode of war, it will cause a fatal impact.
The same is true for the Energy Reactor Chamber, once the Eternal Night Warlords can be mass-produced, it will directly affect their future direction.
Another reason to put it away from the crowd is that this thing is too dangerous, and the Firearms Bureau has been in existence for six or seven years, even if they have strict internal rules and regulations, as far as Sean knows, there are no less than ten safety accidents that have killed and injured dozens of people, not to mention the various small accidents that have been suppressed.
In addition to various test accidents and accidents caused by human factors, there are many defects in the stability of black powder, and if it is stored carelessly, it is easy to cause explosion.
Over the years, the Eternal Night Commander has been working to improve the formulation of black powder, or to develop new and more stable powder, and this research work is even more dangerous, and there are reports of casualties in this area every year, which is also part of the work of the Firearms Bureau.
The Firearms Bureau is definitely the most dangerous research unit in the Eternal Night Army, and even the Medical Research Institute has to be ranked behind, after all, under the leadership of Ms. Elena, the main direction of the medical research base is all kinds of finished drugs, not virus biochemistry.
Speaking of the history of the Firearms Bureau, it is also a long time in the Eternal Night Army, its predecessor was the Independent Engineer Corps, and its main task was to blast and block the barrage of Andes's inland lake.
After the Jacob River reflowed, they successfully retreated, were hidden by Sean, and used it as a team to form the current Firearms Bureau, the main direction of attack is how to exert the power of black powder.
Except for Sophielia, the regent who had secretly visited the Eternal Night Army before the Jacob River reflowed, the world had no idea of their exploits.
Like an invisible giant crocodile, it has been lurking at the bottom of the deep pool of the Eternal Night Commander, and from time to time it will show its sharp fangs and launch deadly attacks on the enemies of the Eternal Night Commander.
Not to mention far away, just talk about the various black powder weapons used by the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family in the fierce war.
Whether it is a black powder keg, a black powder mine, a black powder mine, a black powder grenade, etc., it is all from them.
Of course.
This is just a reference to method development.
The Firearms Bureau, like the medical research base, is a standard scientific research unit, and after the various methods are developed, they are only responsible for subsequent improvements, and mass production is handed over to the arsenals of subordinate units.
When Sean controlled the Thunder Golden Eagle to hover in the air, he attracted the attention of the guards of the Firearms Bureau below.
Soon the two main directors of the Firearms Bureau, Director Tobias and Master Baker, heard the news, and when he saw these two people who could prove their identities appear, Sean slowly lowered his figure and landed.
If you are bombarded from the sky by your own people, it will be a big joke!
