Chapter 487: Qualish Device
"Zehir, you've known Roland for a long time?" Victoria asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Today is the first time I have met Mr. Roland in person, but I have heard of his heroic deeds for a long time, and in fact, the younger generation of our 'Harvest Ring' admires Mr. Roland." Zehir was a little incoherent with excitement.
"I've never heard of what heroic deeds Roland has done, so why do you worship him so much......" Victoria said with a hint of jealousy.
"Your Highness doesn't know, Mr. Roland and his companions have traveled in the area of the Misty Swamp, where there is entrenched in the most feared enemy of our Druids in the Green Fields, the leader is an evil and powerful old ghost woman, Teacher Valentina spent a lot of effort to eliminate the Ghost Woman War Group, and finally the reason why the evil organization was completely wiped out is inseparable from the help of Mr. Roland and his companions, for which we are all very grateful, not to mention that Mr. Roland also gave us a lot of valuable advice in the field of business, Although he is not a Druid of Oz, he has the right to guide us in some ...... on behalf of Valentina-sensei Well, proper, profitable trades. Later, Zehir noticed the look in Roland's hand and hurriedly confused.
Victoria exchanged glances with Katya, guessing that Roland had a close relationship with the Adric family, and what deals to make were not for outsiders like them to participate in.
"Zehir, I'm interested in your domesticated eagle." Roland digressed the subject, "How did you convince these clever and rebellious birds of prey to obey the command?" ”
Zehir scratched his head, "Our Adric family has been domesticating giant eagles for generations, to be specific, it is quite complicated, if you are interested, you can visit the Eagle Island, my family and I are looking forward to your visit." ”
Roland nodded, knowing that domesticating the giant eagle must be closely related to the unique advanced inheritance of the Adric family, the "Lord of the Giant Eagle", without this inheritance, he would not be able to learn the secret of domesticating the giant eagle after looking around. Take Zehir himself, he is the master of the 7-level druid and the 5-level giant eagle, which is enough to serve as a more senior general in the army, and he is just an external instructor with no military rank, and he has to train the giant eagle himself, so it can be seen that the Adric family is only training the giant eagle for the Yangbo family, but has no intention of transferring the technology of falconry.
"Zehir, in addition to serving the army, does your family sell the Giant Eagle to other chambers of commerce?" Roland asked.
"The city-states of the Bend League all do business with our House of Edric, and almost every merchant ship has a domesticated giant eagle to be kept as a sentinel and messenger, which is very helpful for ocean voyages." Zehir smiled and added: "However, we rarely sell the Giant Eagle, in fact, the Giant Eagle is not anyone's slave, so we have no right to sell the Eagle to others, only after obtaining the consent of the Giant Eagle, will we help them to contact them for work and sign employment contracts on their behalf, so we are more like the agent of the Giant Eagle family." ”
Roland nodded, deep in thought. Whether it is sold or agented, the Adric family is willing to export the giant eagle to the outside world. The biggest shortcoming of the Kolath Legion is the lack of an air force, and this problem must be solved as soon as possible.
With the help of the Edric family, he intends to form a Giant Eagle Force to increase the air power of the Korath Army. However, there were many people in the barracks, and it was impossible to dig into the wall in front of Victoria, so he did not discuss the matter with Zehir again, and agreed to visit his father, Sir Fleman Edric, on the Isle of Eagle in a few days, and it would not be too late to have a further exchange.
"Vita, you just said that the Coast Guard also has a newly established Armored Knights, what kind of profession does 'Armored Knight' refer to?" After watching the wonderful performances of the Giant Eagle Knights, Roland raised a topic of great interest.
"The so-called 'Armored Knight' is not a specific transcendent profession, but refers to those who are proficient in the driving skills of 'Armored Armor', whether he is a warrior, a ranger or a paladin, as long as he can manipulate the Mechanical Armor in battle, he can be counted as an 'Armored Knight', so according to this definition, I can also call myself an Armored Knight."
After listening to Victoria's explanation, Roland frowned: "I understand, the armored knight is like a horseman driving a car, so what is the 'mechanical armor'?" ”
"Well...... It's more complicated to say, so let's see for yourself. "Victoria grabbed the conch and whined, the magical sound of the horn penetrating to a depth of thousands of feet.
As if in response to her call, a whirlpool erupted on the surface of the sea, and with the sound of rushing water, a huge metal monster emerged, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"What's that, what looks like a large diving ball?" Nikita's eyes widened in surprise, the world of Varess has not yet developed a full-fledged large submarine technology, but "diving balls" to explore the ecology of the sea are not uncommon.
"This thing doesn't need to be towed by a cable, it has its own power unit, and it's more like a mecha than a diving ball." Roland observed the ironclad monster in the sea and made a guess.
"You're right this time, the other name of mechanical armor is 'mecha'." Victoria replied.
Roland couldn't help but laugh, wouldn't the "Armored Knight" become a pilot? There's something wrong with this style of painting!
However, when the iron-armored monster fully surfaced, he realized that he was thinking too much. In fact, the mechs of the world of Varess are not as tall as imagined in science fiction and anime on Earth, but more like "small amphibious vehicles".
The "Knights of Armor" in Baigull Harbor are equipped with two types of mechanical armor, among which the more mature technology and the mainstream is the "Qualich device" that Roland sees at the moment.
The main structure of this device is very simple, it is a sealed iron bucket with a radius of 10 feet and a length of 15 feet, with a raised crystal lens in front of the iron barrel, and a pair of mechanical claws on both sides, painted with black waterproof oil paint, which looks like a large round lobster. The cabin can accommodate two sailors, one of whom is responsible for the movement of the lever control device, the other is responsible for detecting the enemy, and if necessary, assisting his companion in operating the Krache device, and swinging the two huge steel claws through the lever to strike the enemy.
Powered by a Magic Crystal Steam Engine, the Qualish moves slowly on land, averaging 7 feet per second, and its large and heavy body makes it sluggish to steer, making it almost impossible to perform advanced tactical maneuvers such as jumping, rolling, and climbing.
If we only measure the Qualish device from the perspective of land warfare, then there is no doubt that this big iron bucket that cost 45,000 gold coins is scum! It's better to add some money to make the "Iron Golem", the combat effectiveness is much stronger than this one, and it doesn't need to be operated by a pilot.
Of course, the Baiou Harbor Coast Guard is not a lot of money to burn and play, the reason why it is equipped with an expensive Krish device is not mainly to use it for land warfare, but as a weapon for underwater warfare, the Kwalish device can dive up to 900 feet underwater, the buoyancy of the sea water offsets the burden brought by the huge and heavy body, and with the help of the magic crystal steam engine, it can sail flexibly in the water. The air stored in the sealed cockpit can sustain two pilots for five hours of breathing, the equivalent of a mini-submarine that can carry out missions for long periods of time below the surface of the sea, sneak under enemy surface ships without knowing it, and use those sharp chelates plated with pure gold to destroy the bottom of the ship, causing it to leak and capsize.
