The republic has had many revolutions in weapons, but all of them did not arise for various reasons, and most of them were wiped out in the embryo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info For example, the development of flying machines was suppressed by the Wizards' Association.

As early as the Imperial Era, the alchemist of Mercedes-Schmidt BC Stuka Company once launched a wingspan aircraft powered by painted turbines, which was tested at the Ams Flying Club, and there were minor accidents, but overall it was excellent.

Although the aircraft is not equipped with any offensive weapons, and the technology does not allow it, it can be used as a good deterrent and enemy detection, and the design of this aircraft was inspired by the suicide attack of a glider.

And by chance, they found prehistoric design drawings, inherited technology from xenomorphic dwarves and gnomes, and discovered the remains of ancient machinery. They made a lot of modifications to that strange thing and made a model, and after simulating it according to this modified model, they added the latest achievements at that time, the turbine infinite prime mover concentrating machine, to create this flying machine that spans the ages.

Before, they still suffered from the lack of energy to make the aircraft operate normally, and the energy required for flight was very large, and only the magician's magic crystal could provide the energy for long-term flight. Therefore, a martial artist can fly when he has cultivated to a certain point, but he must not be compared with a magician for a long time.

The advent of the turbine infinite prime mover concentrator led to another revolution, a huge revolution in productivity. Before the appearance of this kind of thing made according to the magic crystal of the magician, the status of the magician was much higher, and the reason for the high status of the magician was naturally that they themselves contained mysterious power that ordinary people could not have, but the appearance of this kind of turbine changed a lot of things, and the original mystery did not exist, but could be used in ordinary people's homes, and even became a kind of help in agriculture, which naturally made magicians feel deeply disgusted.

Heavy gunpowder is installed on the aircraft, and then the aircraft is driven to the enemy by specially trained pilots to ram it.

But this crazy idea was stopped before it could be put into practice.

The blockers are not because of their justice, but because of their own conservatism and interests, they are the most conservative group of people in the empire at that time, and even in the current republic, magicians.

They couldn't stop the Industrial Revolution because they had an interest in it, but something militarily changed, and that they couldn't tolerate, a challenge to their status, a challenge to the sanctity of magic.

Flying is their patent, magic must not be widely familiar to people, otherwise one day even a child may be familiar with the principles of magic, when they find that magic and physics are essentially no different, the sacred status will not exist because of the unknown, and the magician will no longer be above and transcendent.

Magicians were not only symbols of conservatism, but also absolute guardians, and their power was immense, and their influence permeated every corner of the empire at that time. The Industrial Revolution has been a difficult reform carried out by countless people, countless scholars who believe in the truth, through compromises and struggles with various forces, paying an unimaginably huge price to break the obstruction of magicians. What's more, for those reformers, no one cares about the military capital, and most of them are peaceful people, so naturally they will not fight for the power of the army.

The magicians have learned the lessons of the Industrial Revolution, and they have always upheld the idea of absolute suppression of any new creature, and the flying machines have naturally been obliterated, the first designers have been assassinated, and all family members have been killed by various accidents.

The Air Force also lost face, but they were too weak to fight the alliance of the three major mage forces of the Royal Wizards Guild, the Qom Court Mage Praetorian Guard, and the Freedom Tower Guild.

'The Air Force does not have a military department' is a saying that is now circulating, saying that the Air Force is weak, the Air Force does not have its own headquarters, and it has no actual independent status. At that time, the military department was the world of the army and navy, and the army was dominant. The full name is the Imperial Combined Forces Command, and there is no place for the Air Force at all, but only the Janissaries of the Qom Palace, which are all forces that the United Military Department does not dare to despise.

The Air Force is powerless and has no intention of resisting the intervention of the mages.

The development of flying machines was stifled, and the same fate was guns.

If it is said that the suicide flying machine was strangled by the magician, it can be said to be a little righteous, because at that time, when Bai Yanen was in the spiritual fanatic stage of 'pursuing death, death is a blessing', everyone in the army of the Republic wanted to fly this kind of flying machine, to die, to fly this kind of flying machine that is said to lead to heaven to pursue death.

If there was a force of resistance at that time, it was the women of the country, who were even more terrifying than the magician group, who laid siege to the mansions of the air force bosses.

Because once this kind of flying machine really appears, I don't know how many widows will appear, all of them hate the Air Force bosses, and the Air Force bosses have also seen the madness of the women of the Empire, and many people have been besieged and killed by women like this.

People joked that "the non-existent air force command is the natural enemy of women and the birthplace of widows." "Not only mocked that the Air Force did not have its own command and was controlled by others, but also ridiculed that they were besieged by women.

"This is the only defeat of the Imperial Air Force since its inception, the casualties are extremely heavy, many excellent dragon knights have been killed, and the promised new weapons have never appeared." Later, after the fall of the Empire, the Imperial Air Force was disbanded and directly became the ornament of the Republic, and in the first section of the Air Force Section, the instructors would say this with heartache and shame.

All said that the mages are popular in the flying machine, but in the gun, it is purely conservative.

The development of guns can be traced back to Roman times as an alien creature, the dwarf.

And Goliath's gun technology is developing by leaps and bounds, and their gun technology is very mature, but cold weapons are rampant in the army, and naturally there is a big reason why magicians are not allowed to develop firearms.

They believe that 'magic is the foundation of the nation' and are afraid of the spread of guns because it would be fatal to them.

In the 143rd year of the Republic, arquebuses and lever rifles were invented, and later revolvers appeared.

At that time, the main firearms manufacturing company was Wintermahen Kotwyler and Nars Associates. They are known as partners in the military department, they started by killing people and selling goods, increasing their munitions, colluding with the bigwigs in the army to turn them right, and clinging to the thighs of the army to monopolize all military supplies.

At first, people were disdainful of guns, and many officials in the army once said, "Guns are not practical, not as stable as bows and arrows." ”

The reason for this is simply because the guns of that time were extremely primitive, and the new ones were not introduced because of monopolies, no competitors, and no need for improvement.

Because no matter how bad the gun is, there will always be novelties to buy, and without the opponent's catch-up and market pressure, naturally no one will have the idea of inventing something new, and the existing thing can make money, why invest valuable money in research on a large scale, all the companies at that time did not have the need for improvement, which led to the development of firearms falling into a state of stagnation.

It is a kind of ammunition that is troublesome, easy to explode, extremely poor operability, short range, difficult to maintain, and expensive.

Later, due to the outbreak of the Moorish War in the east of the country, new weapons were urgently needed in response to the needs of the soldiers. The military department no longer favored the company and turned to support its competitors, and the United Company fell into tension and finally began to wake up.

Subsequently, the development of guns fell into the torrent of thousands of horses, and various companies competed with each other, and successively invested in large-scale research and development, often one company just made a good gun, and the other was better, forcing the company to further invest in the development of new ones.

Everyone wanted to get the purchase order from the military department, and of course the competition led to the bankruptcy of many companies, and the United Company was replaced by a competitor, the now famous Raytheon Company.

The reason for the war was naturally the desire of the Republic to expand, and the Roman Empire at that time had just become independent again, controlling all of Asia Minor and the vast territory of Southern Europe and the Apennine Peninsula, and the Republic was unable to attack, and instead attacked the New Carthage Empire and the African Moor Empire, which were also part of the Roman Empire but were independent on their own.

As for the barbarian kingdom of Western Europe, it is ignored, and civilized people seem to not care about the barbarians, as if it is not the land of the republic that has been lost there, of course, even in the era of Abiway, it only temporarily controlled the land of Western Europa, and the main force still controlled the eastern part of the former Roman Empire. All that even if Western Europe was actually independent later, as long as they were nominally part of the republic, the republic would no longer attack them, after all, the energy was really limited, and the battle lines were quite numerous.

The Neo-Carthaginian Empire was quickly defeated, and the entire region was slaughtered and completely destroyed to awe-intimidate the Bolunians. But the Moorish Wars were not resolved.

The Moors lived in a semi-desert place, and the army of the Republic at that time was no longer the original Abiway era, they desperately needed supplies to fight, but the conditions at that time were not able to supply on a large scale, and it was difficult to supply in the desert area, so they could not send a large army, only elite squads.

And the individual strength of the soldiers is also far inferior to that of the Abiwei era.

Therefore, when it is not possible to send a large army, the individual strength is inferior to others, and the war naturally cannot be won.

The Moors come like shadows and go like the wind. They will appear out of nowhere and then slice their opponent's neck in a lethal blow, they are a combination of a high-ranking warrior and an assassin, and they are difficult to defeat.

The soldiers were terrified, feared the Moors, and refused to fight, because Moorish wars would only bring defeat, and defeat would bring humiliation.

In this case, how to defeat Moore becomes a problem.

Gun, the army thought of it. The Moors can only be defeated by individuals, and guns have an advantage over bows and arrows, and if there are better guns, it may have good results.

In the end, they chose the Raytheon revolver instead of the lever-operated rifle produced by the United Corporation.

Lever rifles are accurate and lethal, but revolvers are more compact and lethal and flexible in line with the requirements of the military department.

The Moorish Wars are also known as the Wars of the Eastern Cowboys, the Wars of the Pioneers. Because the continent of Apollo, where Moore is located, is located in the eastern part of the Republic, and the people who first discovered it were not Romans, but Goliath pioneers, of course, at that time, Goliaths were not afraid of Moors, they didn't need any guns, and there were no guns at that time.

The Moors were eventually defeated by that typical nomadic cowboy method and slaughtered, leaving only three babies, who were also drowned after the triumphal ceremony. The Republic exterminated the remnants of the Moors with 2.5 million crosses, crucified them all, and the crosses eventually reached Egypt, which was then under the semi-control of the Republic, along the Moorish provinces and the Afrika provinces, and continued to the Israeli provinces in the protests of the Egyptians, which was also the final place.

The crosses are placed at 50-metre intervals to make them even more impressive.

In this way, the Republic frightened those who wanted to do something, destroying a total of 2.5 million surviving Moors, greatly alarming the Visigothic Kingdom on the Iliad Peninsula at the time, and the pirates supported by the Visigothic King, who had been attacking the Republic, were also strictly forbidden to travel to the Republic.

At that time, it was called the 'Brief Eastern Era'.

At this time, there was no gun yet, and the Republic was only thinking about how to deal with the next thing, and the reason why it really cared about guns was because of the shock of the magician being killed.

It started out because an ordinary man, armed with a primitive arquebus, with ammunition made of dense gold meteorite, killed a magician.

It's just terrifying, not only the magician group, but also the samurai nobles have begun to worry, unlike bows and arrows, demon hunting bows and arrows are naturally dangerous, but at least they can be guarded against, and the tearing power and penetration of ammunition far exceed that of ordinary demon-breaking arrows.

"This kind of thing is too dangerous, if everyone has this kind of thing, then order will not exist, and our sacred status will not be maintained."

With this in mind, it is strictly forbidden to spread it on a large scale in the military.

And this time, the military department is gone, and they can't stand this humiliation of being controlled by others.

This time it's not the Air Force, it's the Army, the guys who have always been arrogant and dangerous.

They weren't as polite to the mages and other martial nobles as the Air Force, and although they couldn't do anything to the mages on the surface, secret assassination was possible.

As for the mage's threat to blow up the army headquarters with a forbidden spell, the army also threatened to use poison gas to cover all the Freedom Tower guilds where the mages gathered.

As for the Magic Guard of the Coom Court and the Royal Magical Society, His Majesty at the time strictly forbade interference in the Army.

This was a deal between His Majesty and the Army at that time, and he was also counting on the Army to get rid of the shackles of parliament and rule the country completely. His Majesty the Magic Emperor level is a magician himself, and in addition to His Majesty Goliath, a god-like figure in people's minds, the shadow, incarnation, and walking of the Supreme in the world. He spoke, and the magicians didn't dare to be too embarrassed, and finally reluctantly agreed to keep some of the right to use the guns, but each gun had to have a certificate, and the gun management committee composed of three mage organizations issued a certificate.

The development of the technology of the gun has been greatly limited, of course, whether the army has secretly studied it or not is another matter. At the very least, the guns on the market are ordinary guns made of ordinary iron that can't damage samurai powerhouses and mages, not lethal weapons made of meteorite or ancient blackstone that can tear through a ten-meter-thick steel plate.

Good guns are only available to officers at or above the rank of colonel, while ordinary soldiers still use bows and arrows and ordinary smoothbore guns, a gun with much inferior performance, which is only better than the original arquebus, and cannot be compared with rifled guns at all.

And even so, the production method was locked up by the mages, and it was at the headquarters of the Freedom Tower, and the reason why it was not destroyed was also a strict order of His Majesty at that time.

Since then, in the folk workshops, the guns have gradually forgotten, and the people who can make guns are difficult to find among the people, most of them are low-level alchemists who are not aspiring, or alchemists who are out of the way, secretly make some materials by themselves, make them in their humble workshops and sell them, just to make money, and then make other alchemy products to realize their original dreams.

The Goliaths are stubborn, and once they have established a goal, they will not give up for the rest of their lives, and the same is true for natural alchemy. Those people often hold the belief that they must invent something powerful, struggle all their lives, and have many ideas that transcend the times, but they all suffer from the lack of policies and funds of those in power and end up depressed.

That His Majesty was secretly still very angry, a genius among the Eight Great Saints, at that time he was the only monarch in Goliath's history who was elected without fighting a civil war, because he was the Emperor of Magic, but the mages did not give him face.

Since then, he has been doing things to compete with the magician group, and has been suppressing the magicians, and it is difficult to say whether the magicians hate him in their hearts or not, but on the surface, it is naturally a cry such as Long Live Your Majesty, but whether they are really shouting is a question worth thinking about.

And on his deathbed, His Majesty ordered a gun called 'Mask' to be placed in his crystal coffin.

Of course, the lifespan of a magician is longer than that of ordinary people, not to mention that the emperor of magic should not be able to die, but after the end of the Roman era, there is less of a substance in the world, and the lifespan of magicians is no longer long, the same as that of warriors. In the past, mages lived much longer than other professional powerhouses of the same level.

But the evidence of modern physics research is that the alpha particles in the void are the cause of the magician's long life, "dissecting the awe that arises from the mystery, and everything in the world is not so magical." The discoverer said.

Alpha particles can produce a divine substance, which can make the human body produce divine changes and will not age.

Because when they meditate and absorb the power around them, they naturally absorb this mysterious particle, and the warriors are generally unable to sense and absorb this special particle, so the watershed between the magician and the warrior is when they can absorb this substance, the magician is the minimum standard of absorption, and it is also the time when the magician is overpowered, and some warriors through the extreme path of the martial realm, breaking the restrictions of the laws of space, and obtaining the same strength as the magic emperor, is actually greater.

Undoubtedly, his views greatly angered the group of mages, who have since forbade the study of knowledge in the human realm, as well as the related academic discussion and theoretical development.

Of course, their instructions could not stop the senseless hearts of the seekers, "In the past, there were papacies in Europa who burned people to obstruct learning, and now I have fallen mages in Goliath." The scholars scolded loudly and crusaded against them with their pens.

They traveled to other countries, such as the enlightened kingdom of Arthur Britain, where they carried out their studies and received support, and an enlightened and knowledge-encouraging attitude was what kept Arthurian Britain at the pinnacle of civilization at the time.

The natural republic, under the manipulation of the mages, announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Arthur Britain and demanded that they return to the 'rebellion', and the underlying reason is that the republic is afraid that Arthur Britain will become stronger, so as to find an excuse to start a war to destroy them. Sure enough, King Arthur refused, and natural war broke out.

However, at the beginning, the mages of Arthur Britain defeated the republic one after another, and it was not until Sura Abi led the army that it severely damaged Arthur Britain, which of course led to an even greater disaster.

Arthur Britain is now a province of the Republic, but it still has a high level of autonomy, and it is under the protection of Sullius, and the mage conservatives cannot intervene in it for a while.

It is worth mentioning that in response to the tradition of the Republic, the historical name of all conquered regions must be changed, and the Republic must change its Goliath-style romantic name, Sakura. In the latest revision of the history books of the Republic, the name of Arthur Britain will be changed from now on to Sakura Rolan, and the people in the military department have begun to change the name.

The aim was nothing more than to suppress the national consciousness of the Arthurian Britons, and of course, according to the Parliament, "it is for the sake of a better life for the people of Sakura, and it is necessary to popularize the language of song." ”

And the popularization should start from the roots, starting from the details of the name, there is nothing more conducive to people adapting to the geographical name of this area, and subtly, they will speak the language that the parliament wants them to speak, which is much better than compulsory education.

Of course, some conservative magicians have raised doubts about this, believing that they should not be so close to their former enemies, and naturally ignored by the council. As long as it is not a group of magicians, ordinary individual magicians, the council is not afraid.

To this day, the Mage Group is still unpopular with rulers as a conservative and transcendent force, but they are still firmly in existence and as old as the Goliaths themselves, as has the transition from the Warlock Age to the Mage Age.
