When something that is enough to pry the cornerstone of the era appears, only a few people can realize its significance in the first place.

So it wasn't until Gawain uttered the phrase "one hundred and six second-level transcendents" that Amber, Jenny, and Rebecca suddenly realized what the unassuming-looking gauntlets meant.

Props or equipment that can release magic are not absent in this world, and those magicians are always used to carrying some life-saving or auxiliary magic props, such as various talismans that can release protective spells, or rings and magic books that release quick attack spells, but most of these props have two characteristics: first, only the "transcendents" with magical power can use them themselves, and second, they are expensive enough to discourage some minor nobles.

A magic ring capable of unleashing second-level offensive spells is worth half a year's income for a knight in the Whitsunday Plains, because the ring must be made of pure gold and mythril, and it can only be used by a noble mage who has instilled and tempered it.

But the Thermal Ray Gun, the most expensive part of which is the quartz column that serves as the focused crystal, is worth less than half a silver coin, and now that the price has to go down with the cheap crystal ore supply in Tanzania.

And what kind of labor is needed to make such a set of thermal ray guns? In addition to the initial design of the runes and the construction of prototype substrates, which required the involvement of mages and runemasters, it only needed a bunch of rumbling machine tools after the plan was finalized, and a few skilled workers who were responsible for filling the grooves of the circle with magic guide materials and assembling them in the later stage, although it was far larger than the elaborate magic rings and magic amulets, it would be crushing in number.

And the use of this thing is even more demanding, and even ordinary people with a little training can use it even for professional soldiers who don't need careful training.

After thinking about this, Jenny's eyes when she looked at the Thermal Ray Gun were no longer only proud and happy, but a little uneasy mixed with them.

This was her first time participating in the "invention of Cecil's peculiarity", and she had no idea what this weapon would bring to the world, and she did not dare to think about it.

"Ancestor, are you going to send this to every soldier?" Rebecca was a very receptive girl, and she quickly reacted, and looked at Gawain with sparkling eyes, "The soldiers have this...... Do you still want to train in sword kung fu? ”

Gao Wen wanted to say that when the long-range hot weapon appeared, the era of swords, guns, swords, and halberds entered the countdown to the exit, but he soon thought that this was a world where various extraordinary powers existed, and the boundary between the so-called cold weapons and hot weapons had been blurred after the intervention of extraordinary forces, so the words were changed at the end: "Conventional armament is still to be retained, and mass production of demon-infused sword armor is the next thing." However, in my vision, the Thermal Ray Gun would be the soldier's primary means of attack, and the sword would slowly retreat as their secondary weapon. ”

Rebecca happily gestured: "You can equip the heat ray gun on your left arm, and then use the sword as usual with your right hand, and use the scorching ray when the enemy is far away, and when the enemy runs close, draw the sword and cut it...... The shell of the ray gun can be thickened a little so that it can be used to block in close combat! ”

Gawain thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that Rebecca's idea was quite emotional, but there was one thing he didn't understand: how could this girl, as a mage, think of this melee theory in the first place?

However, in any case, it seems that the way Cecil fights is really about to be turned upside down, but I don't know if the two knights, Byron and Philip, can adapt to this change quickly......

However, the practical use of a weapon cannot only rely on prototype verification, especially the thermal ray gun is a new thing even for Gawain, he only successfully fired the first shot, and to ensure that it can play stably on the battlefield, it needs to fire more than one shot.

Gawain put away the prototype gauntlet and looked at the people present: "It needs more testing, we will start early tomorrow morning, on the test site in the northeast of the test site." ”

To the northeast is the large wasteland near the river beach, where the explosion of the Rebecca Crystal has been tested and where the Crystallized Grenade has been tested. In fact, Gawain really can't resist the urge to try it now, and he really wants to find a place to mess around immediately, but night is really not a good time to conduct this kind of test - there is no large indoor weapons test field that can operate at night in the territory today, so all tests must wait until the next day.

Early the next morning, Gawain woke up early.

Compared to the situation when the first shot was fired last night, only a few people were present, today's formal test is particularly formal and serious - Rebecca told Hetty about the thermal ray gun, and Hetty immediately called Byron and Philip, the two military commanders, and also selected twenty steady and reliable soldiers from the combat corps to guard nearby to prevent unrelated personnel from approaching, and at the same time she also ordered people to set up targets of different distances on the test site to test the range, accuracy and other parameters of the weapon, and finally, She also called in the druid Pitman - in case a weapon accidentally injured someone.

From this arrangement, Gawain can clearly determine one thing:

Little by little, the eldest granddaughter is learning the "scientific and institutionalized" ideas he taught her......

Gawain was initially prepared to remain on his own, but after Amber had been balabal in his ear for ten minutes, he decided to give her the opportunity.

Of course, this decision is not all because Amber Balabala is really annoyed, but more importantly, because this guy has really used Hidden Arrows as a stalker, and she has used them well, she has some experience with this kind of long-range weapon fixed to her arm, so she is the only one to manipulate.

Watching Amber put the heat ray gun on her arm while seemingly expertly adjusting the strap to ensure stability, Rebecca, who couldn't grab the opportunity to manipulate, couldn't help but mutter, "You can take it easy, don't beat yourself - this thing is calmer than a Hidden Arrow!" ”

"I don't bother with you," Amber bared her teeth at Rebecca, "I had to hang an iron lump from my wrist when I practiced the Hidden Arrow, and that thing was heavier than this!" ”

After showing off, the half-elf thief also finished adjusting her equipment, and she nodded to Hetty, who was in charge of recording next to her, before raising her hand to aim at the first target in the distance.

The rune trigger was pulled by the metal wire, and the magic power in the magic capacitor was instantly converted into the energy of the scorching ray array, and with a soft sound, the scorching beam instantly hit the No. 1 target dozens of meters away.

The wooden target with leather armor was directly pierced.

Hetty quickly recorded the numbers, and Amber began to aim for the second target......

"The effective range is only between two hundred meters and three hundred meters, which is lower than the standard Scorching Ray, and also lower than the theoretical value of that magic circle substrate," Hetty brought the record to Gawain after some testing, "The reason may be that the quartz pillar is not adjusted properly, or the magic guidance efficiency between the scorching ray rune substrate and the magic capacitor is not good, these can be improved in terms of process; There is also a problem with accuracy, the accuracy of the fifty-meter range can still be seen, but after fifty meters, the accuracy drops sharply, and after a hundred meters, even a person like Amber, who has half elven blood and has practiced the Hidden Arrow, has a three-quarter miss-of-target rate, if this data is placed on ordinary soldiers...... It will definitely be worse. ”

Rebecca scratched her hair and said bluntly, "But it's still better than your aunt...... It hurts, it hurts! ”

Seeing the stupid roe deer being pulled by Hetty's ears, Gawain's face did not change at all: "Accuracy is actually a matter of processing technology - the assembly of Nicholas eggs is very accurate, but the scorching ray substrate is handmade by Rebecca, because I just want to verify whether the newly designed rune group can be used, so I didn't put much effort into choosing the quartz pillar." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the gauntlet on Amber's hand again: "And it still lacks a sight, a simple aiming structure can be installed in the middle of the ray emitter and gauntlet, which should greatly improve accuracy." ”

Gawain explained the concept of the so-called sight, and Amber's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh! It's a good thing! This makes it easier for soldiers to train this! ”

Although the issue of accuracy is being discussed, the fact is that the accuracy of the thermal ray gun has exceeded Gao Wen's expectations.

Originally, in his opinion, such a long-range weapon with a shape that is not easy to aim and does not even have a basic sight can have an accurate distance of more than ten meters is quite good, but the truth is beyond his expectations.

On the one hand, this is because the thermal ray gun is not a live-fire weapon, and its working process almost does not involve mechanical movement, so it has almost no recoil, and there is no need to worry about barrel shake, receiver instability and other problems that affect accuracy, if you want to ensure accuracy, as long as your hand is steady, on the other hand, it is that the people of this world are different from earthlings in terms of physical fitness and talent.

Amber's half-elven ancestry makes her naturally more proficient in the use of ranged weapons, and even for ordinary people without elven blood, they are superior to earthlings in all parameters of physical fitness (think of the average lifespan of more than a hundred years for those noble classes, and the "average soldiers" who can charge with heavy armor and greatswords), and these advantages may still be present when using ranged weapons - of course, this last point will need to be tested by ordinary soldiers.

On the other side, Rebecca had already begun to bare her teeth under Hetty: "You really don't come to save me?!" ”

Gawain glanced at the girl who had been taught a lesson for her uprightness, and rescued her, and then nodded to Amber: "Go ahead and test, this time to see the impact of continuous shooting on performance." ”

Shooting continuously was a relatively long test process, and Gawain did not continue to stare, but walked towards the two knights, Philip and Byron, who were standing aside.

The two knight gentlemen looked at the proving ground intently, and the expressions on their faces were obviously a little complicated.

"What are you thinking?" Gawain came to their side and asked lightly.

"It's an incredible weapon," Byron's tone was indeed admiring, "incredible...... Magic can be unleashed in this way, both the source of magic and the control of magic power are done by the weapon itself, and it has nothing to do with the user's talent, the person who controls it only needs to be able to pull the rune trigger......"

"It's not just admiration, is it?" Gawain glanced at him with a smirk.

“…… Indeed," Byron looked at Gawain and finally nodded in acknowledgement, "and a little lost." ”

"Oh?"

"Back then, it took me two years to learn breath protection, and then another three years to learn danger perception, and that was just a two-level knightly skill," Byron shook his head, "Now, a recruit who has been training for a few days can release a scorching ray of heat. ”

Philip also sighed softly, with emotion: "I'm faster than you, and I used these two skills together for half a year." ”

Byron: "...... Can you sigh for something else? ”

"I said that times are going to change," Gao Wen interrupted the cross talk duo in a loud voice, "This change is inevitable, and you must accept it." ”

Byron was stunned and looked at the test site with a wry smile: "One day, will that thing release a finger of death?" ”

Gawain was silent for a moment: "Maybe." ”

“…… Then it seems that the day when the City of a Thousand Towers will fall is not far off. ”

On the other side, Amber moved her arm, which was slightly tired from the long lift, before lifting the Heat Ray Gun again, pulling the rune trigger.

There seemed to be a slight amount of heat at the tip of the ray gun, but this time no beam was emitted.

"Old zongzi! This thing doesn't work! ”
