Chapter 39 - Their Calculations
Five or six days have passed since the last general attack of Adam, and Yi Hui has been running to Gilji in these days, nominally to complete the improvement of the Bolt, but in fact, the things they talked about were not so simple.
Finally, when the improvement of the bolt number was completed, the bolt number, which had been remodeled in the square of the bolt family's gathering place, stood in the center.
The gnomes commented on the bolt number, some praised loudly, some just watched the fun, and some knowledgeable people got together to discuss the topics of professional surnames such as "if a certain part of the bolt number is ...... to do this" and "if the parameters of the length of the mechanical leg are adjusted to that ......".
Needless to say, the entire bolt number has a new look. The length of the legs, as well as the structure and transmission, have been optimized by Gilji based on the optimal results obtained from several test mechs.
The cockpit is further designed for Yi Hui's body to be more humanized, and the distance between the steering wheel and the longitudinal bar has also been adjusted to make it more comfortable according to Yi Hui's habits. The roof of the entire cockpit has also been changed to a closed design, which can be driven in bad weather.
The most conspicuous place is the two robotic arms installed on both sides of the cockpit, the skilled gnomes actually designed the mechanical arm as a "glove + longitudinal rod" mode, this anthropomorphic operation makes Yi Hui handy to the robotic arm, Yi Hui can use the power of the mecha to complete some things that were not possible before, and the battle through the robotic arm has not yet been fully developed, but the work such as cutting trees or carrying heavy objects is easy.
The proportion of the entire mecha has basically matured, and the current bolt number is already one in the sky and one underground compared to when it was first driven away. According to Yi Hui's suggestion, the current bolt number is developing more and more in the direction of "Autobots" in appearance, which is inseparable from Yi Hui's perennial Transformers plot. At Yi Hui's strong suggestion, the shell of the bolt was painted with a layer of orange paint, and two vertical black bars were painted on the symmetry line of the mecha, which looked similar to Bumblebee in color.
Yi Hui happily looked at the "Bumblebee" bolt number made by the gnomes, and couldn't help but express his gratitude to Gilji. With Yi Hui alone, without the technical support and hands-on production of the gnomes, this mecha would not have been able to come out at all.
Gilji is also quite happy, in the process of improving the bolt number he got from Yi Hui to improve the suggestions he got from him a lot, Yi Hui for the idea of a fully enclosed and retractable cockpit roof from the proposal to the completion of his understanding of mechanical technology has made a qualitative leap, it is Yi Hui who let him know: the original mechanical design can also be like this!
After completing the test drive of the improved version of the bolt number, Yi Hui felt that the driving experience of this mecha was more comfortable, and various actions such as cornering, speeding up, and emergency stopping were very handy. Two robotic arms, Yi Hui tested that the driving drop at full horsepower can actually lift a weight of about 5 tons, which is simply an artifact for developing the wilderness.
There are still fifty or sixty mechas like this in the dwarf bolt family, and there is almost no difference in working ability except for the relatively small cockpit, and after completing Yi Hui's bolt number, according to the data obtained from the test, these mecha can also be modified according to the surname to adapt to different working environments. According to Yi Hui's instructions, Gilji concealed Quinn's secret lie about the working ability of these mechs, giving Quinn the impression that he was "only slightly more advanced than the minecart" and "can only move things".
How can these core things let Quinn know that these things are the fruits of Yi Hui and Gilji's joint labor, of course, Quinn can't be cheap. Under the continuous summary and improvement, a work organization with a clear division of labor gradually took shape in Yi Hui's mind.
These Quins did not come to Gilji less, and he has always been treated poorly by dwarf workers, and he rarely asked the bolt family for warmth, and it is no surprise that he has given gifts at two ends in three days. Gilji also responded to this with an open mind, thinking that if such a good thing was sent to the door, it would not be in vain, but this Quinn always led the topic to the dwarf cannon in a few words.
After discussing with Yi Hui, Gilji found a way to deal with it, and whenever Quinn expressed a strong interest in the dwarf cannon, Gilji excused himself with the reason that "the dwarf cannon is a consumable item with a surname, and the mechanical structure inside has been destroyed by multiple fires, and it is now being redesigned......". Quinn proposed to buy it, and Gilji asked for the price, unexpectedly Quinn's fascination with the dwarf cannon actually reached the point of buying two scrapped dwarf cannons with 200,000 gold coins, and Gilji had to "laugh at it".
Mr. Merriam looked thoughtfully at the two dwarf cannons that had been purchased for a long time in the center of the hall of Quinn's residence. After exchanging a solemn look with Quinn, who was standing on the side, he slowly began to pace in the hall.
Walking to the window with the heavy curtains drawn, Mr. Merim stopped, looked at the workers working in the mine in the distance for a moment, he turned his back to Quinn and said leisurely: "The day Adam and they came to attack, I saw clearly from the top of the tower, I had taken out all the staff I hadn't used for many years and was ready to fight them, who knew that it was because of this thing" As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to the dwarf cannon and said, "This thing! It's so powerful that it's even bigger than the military's siege ballista. I could see clearly from above, that the stout ladder had been blown off by these 'dwarf cannons' and that the pillar had fallen. Warriors in heavy armor could not withstand a bombardment from this weapon. It's even as powerful as a 'rock bullet' that a level 4 earth mage can do with all his might, but without that lengthy chant...... Perhaps, this is a lever to the whole world. ”
Quinn heard Mr. Merim mention the word "world", and his ambition suddenly ignited, and in front of Mr. Merim he could unabashedly show his ambition, his desire for family status and his desire for the whole realm, principality and kingdom, because Mr. Merim had deliberately cultivated his ** of power status since he was a child. Mr. Merriam was both the treasurer of the Garcia family and the teacher of his Quinn.
When Mr. Merim spoke, Quinn did not dare to answer, he just stood with his hands down and listened quietly to Mr. Merim's every word.
"It's just that this stuff is too undurable. I've seen it just now.,The bursting magic array inside has been destroyed.,Things can only be said to be a weapon that consumes the surname.,The high investment and the limitations of the effect make it a chicken rib.。 Remember, Quinn, that this victory with the 'dwarf cannon' was only due to the problem with the troop on Adam's side and their ignorance of this new weapon, and if they knew that this weapon was so undurable, then this shaky deterrent would be lost. With a wave of his hand, Mr. Merrim pulled a tarpaulin over the two dwarf cannons and put them back on, pointing at Quinn and saying heavily, "Remember, in this world, if you want to expand your power, there are several things: talent, money, and your own strength. ”
A slight disappointment flashed in Quinn's heart when he heard Mr. Merim's bad assessment of the dwarf cannon, he had seen the power of this weapon up close, if nothing else, the exhilaration, just the roar of the cannon was extremely refreshing. But Quinn and Merim never thought that the "dwarf cannon" was not banned and that the cost and benefit were not proportional to the benefits were just a kind of illusion created by Gilji at the behest of Yi Hui, and Mr. Merim, who had been calculating the input and output for many years, came to the wrong conclusion that "it is most cost-effective to hire more talents for the same money" under their wrong inducement.
In fact, the "Gnome Cannon" is not only durable after being specially strengthened by Gilji, but also can shoot thousands of rounds if there are enough magic energy ore and ammunition. When Merriam and Quinn conducted a "viable surname evaluation" of the "dwarf cannon" and got a negative answer, the "black workshop" established by Yi Hui and Gilji was working overtime to frantically produce small "dwarf cannons", that is, muskets! Of course, there is no gunpowder technology here, everything is based on the principle of bursting magic array, and the musket created is completely different from the "AK" and "M16" in Yi Hui's impression.
In the process of developing muskets, Yi Hui proposed the concept of rifling for these things, and changed the spherical ammunition to a cone, which greatly increased the penetration and lethality of dwarf cannons and muskets. Gilji's multiple stacks and directional output improvements for the Burst Magic Array have increased the thrust of the ammo chamber.
After being taught by Mr. Merim, Quinn seems to have almost completely forgotten that there is such a thing as a dwarf cannon, and it is really worthy of being good.
Only Yi Hui knows what kind of storm the real musket artillery will set off once it is reproduced in this world, of course, everything has just begun, and it is still very early to prepare for the future, but the concept of "science and technology is the primary productive force" and Yi Hui's understanding of the history of the earth make him more inclined to develop these things related to machinery.
Gilji, a member of the dwarf clan who has been discriminated against by major races for many years because of his low force and short stature, met Yi Hui and hit it off, and the bright future also made Gilji's heart move. "I want the whole world to know that our dwarf race is also so powerful." Gilgi thought.
