Chapter 157: Armed and Non-Mainstream Missionaries in the New Age
After several days of designing, refining, and trial-producing, Rebecca excitedly delivered the first set of real-combat Thermal Ray Guns and Battle Backpacks to Gawain.
"That's the result!" Miss Viscount's face was full of pride, and she seemed very satisfied with her results, "Take a look? β
Gawain looked at what Rebecca brought - the first thing that caught his eye was the silver-white gauntlet, compared to the rough and primitive "prototype" at the beginning, the finalized thermal ray gun looked closer to the appearance of Gawain's brain stoppage, its shape was more in line with human aesthetics, shaped like an expanded and thickened plate armor arm, the upper part of the arm guard could see the ellipsoidal expansion, which was the place to house the magic capacitor and the glowing ray substrate, and the lower part of the arm guard was used to adjust the tightness and fix the buckle of the body.
In addition, its mana capacitors and rune substrates are designed to be detachable to ensure that energy crystals or core magic units can be replaced at any time.
Compared to the prototype, the front end of the gun has an aiming mechanism, and the metal wire and finger sleeve used to activate the rune trigger have been replaced with a more reliable and sturdy grip, and the safety is linked to the grip, and when the safety is locked, the grip will also be retracted to the lower part of the gauntlet, so as not to affect the normal combat movements of the soldier.
According to Rebecca, after adjusting the internal runes and refining the quartz pillar, its effective range has finally been increased to 340 meters to 370 meters (this still has room for optimization), and its accuracy and power have also increased to a certain extent - as the world's first "long-range firearm", its range and power are more than the early muskets on the earth, but Gawain knows very well that this is because it was born in a world where magic exists, The blessing of magic has made many weapons in this world ridiculously powerful, and if the Thermal Ray Gun does not reflect this advantage, then there is no need to be born.
After all, the early muskets on Earth were only against earthlings wearing ordinary metal armor, while the Thermal Ray Guns here had to deal with not only ordinary soldiers, but also transcendents wearing enchanted equipment and even holding energy shields......
Then, his eyes fell on the "combat backpack" that Rebecca had brought.
In terms of appearance, it looks very much like a kind of bizarre-shaped hard "school bag", or bag, its outer skin is made of cowhide, and the inner should be lined with a metal skeleton and metal plates, so it looks hard and crisp, the buckle strap of the combat backpack can obviously be fixed to the outside of the soldier's armor, and the rectangular backpack is divided into upper and lower parts, Gawain has a little doubt about this.
"It's a normal backpack on top," Rebecca explained, "it can be used as a marching bag, and it can be used as a marching bag, and it can be used for dry food, water bladders, flints, ointments, and so on, and the bottom of the backpack is for crystals, and you can see that the lower half of it is right at the back of your back, and you can reach it with your hand as soon as you stretch it back, and you can take out the spare crystals from this opening next to it - the crystals are sandwiched between two metal plates, and they are arranged in order, and after taking out one piece, you can stuff the exhausted crystals from the other end of the backpack. You can push them out one after the other. I stuffed twelve magic net units into the entire backpack, which can theoretically charge twelve crystals at the same time, even if there are more, I can also shoehorn ...... But the charging efficiency is too low, and the soldier should not be able to use up so much energy in a single battle. β
Gawain looked at the combat backpack designed by Rebecca, and suddenly his heart moved: "Do you think of the other functions of this backpack?" β
"Other features?" Rebecca scratched her hair, not turning the corner for a moment, "Did you mean to put a sturdy strap on it and smash it out?" Then it will have to ...... again."
"Don't be so straightforward, what if someone suspects it's genetic?" Gawain covered his head with one hand, "Didn't you notice that when this backpack is stuffed with a large pile of crystals, it can be regarded as a giant magic capacitor in itself?" β
Rebecca was stunned when she heard this, and only came out after a while: "That's right! You can still see it this way! β
Then she became excited: "Doesn't that mean that if you use this backpack to directly supply energy, it can bring even larger magic?!" β
"Such a large volume can't be wasted," Gawain looked at the combat backpack, "In addition to storing crystals and providing magic power to soldiers on the battlefield, it can also integrate some magic circle substrates into it, think about it, what if we put a magic shield on it?" Or what if you have a breeze shield to filter out poison gas? Or, if we carve a magic circle on the soldier's armor to enhance defense and physical strength, and then leave an external magic port on the backpack, so that after the backpack is connected to the armor, each soldier is equivalent to carrying a military priest who constantly releases enhanced spells to them for twenty-four hours...... And the energy consumption of these basic spells is very low, and for a backpack with twelve magic net units, it will not affect its charging speed at all. Or a little bit of an impact...... But it's worth it for the overall earnings. β
The more Rebecca listened, the more surprised she became, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth wide: "Ancestor, why do you think so much!?" β
Gawain smiled, and his face was as solemn as ever: "The wisdom of the elderly, the wisdom of the elderly......"
Before Gawain could finish his chatter, Rebecca had already grabbed the combat backpack: "Then I'll go back and get the design of the backpack again!" β
"You'll be back later!" Gawain quickly stood up and stopped the stupid roe deer with super mobility, "Have you made a new rune substrate now?!" β
Rebecca looked back in a daze, analyzed it carefully, and suddenly said: "No! β
"A total of one scorching ray has been analyzed, what are you so busy stuffing into the backpack," Gawain waved his hand with a smile, "What I just said is included in the plan for the next generation of backpacks, now this will be put into production directly, the most important thing is to let the soldiers form combat effectiveness first." β
"Oh......" Rebecca nodded and obediently agreed.
Gawain waved his hand: "When you go back, go find Hetty and ask her to come over." β
It wasn't long before Hetty arrived at Gawain's tent.
"Ancestor, are you looking for me?"
"I'd like to ask you about the missionary, what he's been doing in the past two days, who he's been in contact with, whether he's leaving the territory or delivering news to the outside world......" Gawain lifted his head from the paperwork...... What's wrong with you?! In order to practice accuracy, I finally smashed myself with a big fireball?! β
He looked at Hetty standing in front of him in amazement, only to see that the latter was completely embarrassed and completely devoid of his usual dignified and calm appearance, not only his hair looked very messy, but there were also some gray-black marks on his face, and even his clothes had scorch marks of varying degrees - this looked as if he had been smashed by a big fireball.
β¦β¦ Rebecca's silly girl with the iron head must have used some creative method to call her aunt over, right?
Hettie had already used magic to take care of her hair and face as much as possible, but she obviously didn't have time to clean up all the traces when she came in a hurry, and when she heard Gawain's words, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth: "I was doing experiments when Rebecca broke into the lab......"
Gawain: "......"
It's not what I imagined, but it doesn't seem to be much different.
After an awkward silence for a few seconds, Gawain cautiously asked, "Have you ever been beaten?" β
"I've beaten it, I'll go back and fight again."
ββ¦β¦ With a light touch, she is already a big girl. β
"I try."
Gao Wen coughed dryly: "Ahem, let's get down to business first." β
"Yes," Hetty took two deep breaths, calmed down, and began to report on the missionary, "the priest named Wright has not left the territory for the past few days, nor has he done anything suspicious, he gets up a little earlier than the others every day, mainly for prayer and physical exercise, and then eats breakfast like everyone else, and goes to the construction site - we have not assigned him any work, but he has taken the initiative to find the foreman, and now he is moving bricks in the newly planned 'Market Street' area, where he is almost a permanent worker. β
Gawain found it interesting: "...... Is he so willing to work? β
"Yes, I asked the soldier to talk to him in a chatting format, and the missionary said that he did it because of the 'guidance of the Word of Light,' because the Way of Light taught people that hard work should be exchanged for foodβhe did not have permission to establish a church, to perform sacraments, to pray for the blessing of the realm, so he had to do manual labor in exchange for food."
"That's what he said?" Gawain felt incredible.
Hetty nodded: "That's exactly what I said, and that's what I did." β
ββ¦β¦ This is indeed what the Holy Light Church preaches on a daily basis, but I am afraid that there are very few clergy who believe that these are still practicing it, and they are just using these words to fool the common people into doing voluntary labor or collecting donations for the church," Gawain shook his head, "So is he on a mission?" β
"I don't know if that's a mission," Hetty said, with a somewhat odd expression, "he ...... It is true that he is accustomed to talking about the way of the Holy Light, and occasionally uses magic to help people heal their wounds, and will say things like 'May the Holy Light protect you', but he doesn't seem to be a serious preacher at all - only when he meets a believer who does believe in the God of Light, he will seriously explain the teachings, but when he meets an unbeliever, he laughs it off. β
Gawain frowned: "Did the people sent to Tanzania Town send back the news?" β
"We have returned, and our men have questioned the priest at the Holy Light Church in Tanzania, and confirmed that there is indeed a missionary named Wright Aviken who has traveled from the plains of the Holy Spirit and traveled the south, and that his characteristics are the same, but according to my guess......"
Hetty paused at this point and shook his head: "This guy named Wright was not so much sent out to preach as he was kicked out by the Middle Church, otherwise he wouldn't be like this." β
"To be honest, I guess that's the case," Gawain shook his head with a smile, "even in the old-fashioned Church of the Holy Light, it is inevitable that this kind of alternative character will appear." β
"Ancestor, what are you going to do with this missionary?" Hetty asked curiously, "It's not a way to keep him hanging like this, is it?" β
"Wait another two or three days, and if there's still no problem, I'll see him," Gawain laughed, "and we're on the ground...... It is also possible to have a church. β
