Chapter 150
Rebecca and Jenny were soon called over, and they brought a large bag of bulging items, which was probably a little "fruition" of them.
Seeing Gawain, Rebecca immediately came over, but as Gawain expected, the girl came up to inquire lively: "Ancestor! Ancestors! What did you find in the ruins? Why did Aunt Herty look serious when she came back, and the Byron knight was also ......"
"Ahem," Gawain coughed twice in embarrassment, before slapping Rebecca's head back, "It's complicated, I'll tell you when I have the chance, but don't ask for anything just yet." Let's take a look at your results first. ”
Rebecca is a very upright girl, but she also has the added benefit that her attention is easily diverted - just bring up the topic that interests her. Hearing Gawain's words, she immediately showed a happy smile, and then pulled things out of the bag with Jenny: "Yes, yes, yes, look at these, we have already designed that rune group!" Let me tell you, rune logic is really a wonderful thing, although all runes are calculated on paper, but as long as they are combined in strict accordance with the formulas and rules, the effect will definitely be as ...... as the calculation result."
Gawain saw Rebecca take out several scrolls and a metal plate that had been engraved with runes, and his eyes suddenly lit up slightly: "You have already got the finished product?" ”
"Experiment," Rebecca scratched her hair a little embarrassed, "because I really couldn't help but want to try the final effect, so I asked for a general-purpose substrate, and the two of us worked hard for half an afternoon to hand-carved a test piece." ”
Gawain's eyes had fallen on those drawings at this time, and he saw that there were runes and line patterns that were several times more complex than the magic net unit, but all the runes and connecting lines were more concise and simple than the traditional magic circle, which was a completely different drawing method from the traditional magic circle drawing rules: all useless structures were simplified, and no decorative patterns were left, and precise mathematical calculations made each of its runes arranged in just the right place. Moreover, the energy ratio between all the runes can reach a perfect balance, and it is precisely because of this extreme rationality that although this circle has nearly twice the number of effective runes compared to the regular "Scorching Ray" circle, its appearance is more concise and intuitive than the regular circle.
And after this strangely beautiful rune array was engraved on a universal substrate stamped by a machine, it even gave Gawain a trance illusion of "industrial art".
Gawain picked up the general-purpose substrate, which was the size of a palm and made of extremely cheap copper, while in the grooves of the runes, the dimly lit quartz sand powder and the solidified red blood gum could be seen: there was no expensive material to be seen, and there was no overly fancy engraving technique, Gawain was almost certain that it would be very easy to turn this circle into an industrial mass-produced product.
"You carved this?" He looked up at Jenny, who was standing aside.
Jenny quickly straightened up and nodded respectfully, "Yes, Lord Lord." ”
Gawain laughed, "Good...... Have you tested it? ”
"Tried," Rebecca said smugly, "tested with the steel mill's magic net!" You see, there is a groove next to the fire rune on the sharp corner, and that's where the scorching ray is released! ”
Gawain looked at the general substrate, on one of the sharp corners of this hexagonal substrate, you can see the fire rune as the final energy catharsis point, from the center of the rune to the top of the substrate, you can see a special groove, that groove is filled with a small section of quartz pillar, if the circle is activated, the scorching ray will be launched along this groove and the quartz pillar in the groove - the effective range can reach three or four hundred meters, and if you replace a better quartz pillar or further strengthen the rune, Its range has room for improvement.
"The problem now is that this thing needs to be within the range of the magic net to be used," Rebecca puffed out her cheeks, "because this board itself can't produce magic power, and if you want to use it where there is no magic net, you have to use the magic storage crystal to power it, or give it to the mage to use." But for the mage to use the words seems to be too much. ”
The implication is that not every mage has a big fireball like her, and people rub their own hot rays like water, so they don't need this at all......
Gawain smiled and took out the "magic capacitor" he had been working on and was almost ready to assemble from under his desk.
"I've thought about this problem for a long time, and I've already found a solution."
"What is this?" Rebecca suddenly looked curiously at the new general substrate that Gawain had taken out, and recognized at a glance what the rune group on that substrate was, "This is...... The basic unit of the magic web? You're talking about having this base unit power the Scorching Ray Circle? No, I've tried, the energy generated by the basic unit of the magic net is not enough at all, and the four basic units are not enough to stack together, so you have to get a large magic net......"
"But it doesn't have to be with these storage crystals," Gawain pointed to the cheap storage crystals on the table, and then gathered everything into the bag, "Without further ado, let's go to the machine factory and let that Nicholas egg help put these things together!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Rebecca jumped up happily, and then dragged Jenny, who was still a little dazed, and walked out, "Let's go, let's go!" Let Dandan help the fastest! ”
And before Gawain got up, the air nearby suddenly distorted, and Amber, who had been pretending to be there but actually quietly observing the whole process, finally couldn't help but pop out: "I'll go too, I'll go!" ”
Rebecca was startled by this guy who suddenly popped up, and casually smashed a big fireball over: "Wow! ”
If it weren't for Gawain's quick reaction and a slap that scattered the big fireball, he probably wouldn't have had to live in a tent that night......
The machine building is brightly lit, and the sound of machinery running is non-stop.
The empty shed has now become a domain of steel and machines, where metal ingots from the steel mill are transported in batches and then processed into various parts according to the drawings or further strengthened and reforged by Nicholas Egg, while human craftsmen act as assistants, learning the mechanics of the drawings and assembling the parts made by Nicholas Egg into a variety of machines - most of which are basic machine tools, while others are more urgently needed. A "special order" placed directly from the lord and others.
Gawain's impression of the huge industrial assembly line is still far away, but now there are some roaring machines in the machine factory, the atmosphere of endless operation, some of the most basic parts no longer need to be cast by Nicholas Egg himself, those machine tools placed on the side of the shed can complete the manufacturing of those basic parts, and the machine tools are driven by two optimized original magic engines - in order to ensure that these two engines have sufficient power, Rebecca buried the first nodes of the hive magic network in the machine building, Now, it seems that it is all working very well.
After Gao Wen and the others entered the shed, what they saw was a lively scene: the processing machinery driven by the magic energy engine was running on the west side of the shed, continuously producing all kinds of mechanical parts (as well as all kinds of metal tool accessories urgently needed by the territory); Human craftsmen are busy between machines, and they have adapted slightly to this new production work; In the middle of the shed was the Iron Ball Man's domain, where he was floating, and there was no man's land for several meters around him, where a large number of metal ingots were pulled into the air by unknown forces, and quickly molded into various solid parts that were currently difficult to build by machine or art, and then the molded parts would automatically fall to several nearby storage areas for human craftsmen to use.
Gawain looked at the Iron Ball Star Man with a pile of parts floating in all directions from a distance, thinking to himself that this really looked like ten thousand swords returning to their roots......
Then he stepped forward, and Rebecca beckoned from afar, "Balls! We're here for a favor from you! ”
Nicholas Egg heard the greeting, quickly cleaned up the parts floating around him for the time being, and turned to Gawain's direction: "Ah, something is going on again - the lord is also here?" ”
Under normal circumstances, Gawain would not have been able to tell that Nicholas had turned around at all, because this Iron Ball star man was all naked, and he couldn't see the difference between front and back, left and right, but this time he saw at a glance that the other party was turning around - because he was surprised to find that the other party actually had a face painted on him!
The moment he saw that face, Gao Wen's footsteps stopped, and he almost fell to the ground - he can't be blamed for this, anyone who sees a "funny" with a diameter of 1.3 meters floating in front of him and greeting himself can't calm down!
Gawain was stunned to look at the "face" of Nicholas Egg, looking at the crooked eyes, slanted eyes, and underbeaten mouth, and was stunned for five seconds without speaking, and then the first thought that came to him was: Which fellow traveler has sneaked into his own land?!
Who drew this "funny" expression!
He was about to ask someone, but he didn't expect Rebecca to smile after discovering the stunned expression of his ancestor: "Ancestor? You're shocked! Am I good at drawing? ”
Gawain turned around with a squeak in his neck and glared at Rebecca, "You drew this for him?" ”
"yes!" Rebeccat nodded as a matter of course, "Every time I talk to Dandan, I can't figure out which side of him is positive, and he also complains that when he is working, someone suddenly talks behind his back and startles him, and then I thought of a trick and painted him a face......"
"You...... Just painted casually? Gawain looked up and down at the girl who always had amazing moves, trying to find some shadow of the traverser in the other person, "Don't you think this expression looks weird?" ”
"I just wanted to draw a smiley face," Rebecca scratched her hair, "but her hand did shake a little while she drew it...... Of course, it may also be that I have shaken several times, so my eyes are a little weird. ”
The corners of Gawain's mouth trembled: "How do others react when they see him on this face?" ”
Rebecca thought carefully and nodded: "It's still quite festive." ”
Jenny next to her also nodded: "Well, it's quite festive." ”
Gawain: "......"
At this time, the Nicholas egg had already floated in front of Gawain, and this huge friendless funny body shook up and down twice: "What do you think of my new image?" I feel like it's a lot easier to deal with you humans with a face. ”
"You...... It's good that you're happy," Gawain struggled to keep his expression open, and took out the materials he had brought, "Let's get down to business first." I want you to help me assemble a new ...... Weapons. ”
"Oh? This time it's a weapon, not a machine? Nicholas Egg's voice sounded interested, "What is it?" ”
"I'll call it the Thermal Ray Gun for the time being."
