Chapter 212: Alchemy Factory
As more and more basic rune arrays are parsed and simplified into generic rune substrates, the equipment of Cecil's soldiers will inevitably usher in a new upgrade, and in Gawain's vision, a completed version of Cecil's infantry equipment should include such a system:
The energy system, which is equipped with a combat backpack with high-efficiency honeycomb nets and mana capacitors, can charge a large number of mana crystals at the same time and can also have excess mana to drive various energy-dissipating units on the soldiers; The protection system, with the steel armor stamped by the machine as the carrier, is engraved with various protective circles and auxiliary arrays inside the armor, so as to achieve comprehensive protection against foreign magic, poisonous gas, and physical attacks. The weapon system, mainly equipped with the thermal ray gun in the gauntlet and the sword in the soldier's hand, the former has been mass-produced, and the latter has no idea of improvement for the time being, in Gawain's conception, even if the soldier's cold weapon combat project is retained, Cecil's sword must also be modernized, the traditional steel weapon is too weak in the face of opponents similar to distortions and transcendents, and various enchantment effects are necessary.
But how to improve the traditional sword still has to be carefully considered.
In addition, Gawain hopes to achieve instant communication on the battlefield.
The importance of communication technology is self-evident, so that every soldier can receive the command of the rear in real time on the battlefield, so that every commander can immediately understand the changes in the battle situation, a force with modern communication technology can play a combat effectiveness is unimaginable to the traditional aristocratic army, so the addition of the communication system in the "Cecil combat suit" is the top priority, but unfortunately there is no eyebrow for the time being.
There are indeed communication spells, and the Mithril Treasury has also created communication devices like the Mithril Ring, but this special spell is a kind of "technical black box" in Gawain's point of view, and its magic principle has not yet been analyzed clearly, and the rune composition of its magic circle is completely inconsistent with the laws of conventional magic circles, Jenny's rune logic is not perfect enough to simplify the analysis of such an unclear magic spell, which also leads to the cost of communication magic props that cannot be reduced for the time being. And the fact that the cost cannot be reduced means that it cannot be used on soldiers......
The combat gauntlet with the addition of the force field shield module looks unchanged from the appearance, Gawain closed the shell of the gauntlet again, and when the crisp click sounded, he looked at Rebecca next to him: "The gauntlet can also integrate more modules, you can add more components that can be replaced, now it has both offensive and protective properties, and it can be considered from the auxiliary aspect, such as the first-level 'secondary cleansing technique', or the magic trick for lighting 'magic light technique', which is a spell with very low energy consumption, but it can have a great effect... β¦β
Rebecca and Jenny didn't know when they had already taken out their little notebooks and took notes while listening, and Jenny couldn't help but look up and ask halfway through the record: "But Lord Lord...... After adding so many functions, is this gauntlet still a 'thermal ray gun'? β
"That's why I said from the beginning that the gauntlet is just a carrier, and the thermal ray gun is a part of the gauntlet, not the whole of it," Gawain smiled, and it was only then that he could explain his original idea to the two girls in front of him, and it was only then that they fully understood what modularity meant, "This gauntlet, we should give it a separate name - I'll name it' Magic Terminal', and depending on the module loaded in the terminal, it can be a thermal ray gun, an energy shield, a communicator and a medical device, or even a lightning launcher and a fireball launcher, and different classes can use it for different functions, and even ...... We can also develop civilian models. β
Rebecca finally reacted: "It turns out ...... Was that what you really thought in the first place? β
Gao Wen nodded, and then smiled helplessly: "It's a pity that if I tell everyone at that time, most people probably won't understand or imagine." β
Jenny looked at Gawain a little stunned, and she suddenly had a strange feeling that this was not an ancient hero who lived seven hundred years ago, nor a lord of Cecil who lived in modern times, but that the duke was now exuding an air that did not belong to this society at all, or even to this world, and he was looking at what was happening in this land from an almost onlooker's perspective, and on this basis he was carrying out a plan - that plan was so grand, so beyond the comprehension of contemporary people, so much so that even if he casually said any step of this plan, no one could understand what he wanted to do......
But the feeling was only fleeting, as Gawain suddenly raised his hand and tapped Amber's head as it peeked at the tableβthe approachable lord with a strange sense of humor was back.
"What are you doing sneaking around?" Gao Wen stared at Amber who suddenly came out of the table, the latter obviously intended to scare herself, but she didn't expect that her stealth effect would be lifted in advance by the protective aura around Gao Wen, and at this time, she was hit on the head, and Miss Half-Elf covered her head with a look of grievance: "I'll just report to you about the situation, are you going to beat people......
"Don't make a fuss, there are people who step in the shadows to report the situation?"
"Huh," Amber pouted, "how long do you have to finish here?" Pittman asked me to tell you that the No. 1 reactor of the Alchemy Factory is in place, waiting for you to come over and inspect it. β
"Ah, I forgot about it!" Gawain suddenly slapped his head, he knew about the completion of the No. 1 reaction tank of the alchemy factory today, but the design progress of a batch of rune substrates and magic armor sent by Jenny and Rebecca made him completely forget about it, at this moment Amber came to remind, he immediately stood up and put down the gauntlet in his hand, "Jenny, Rebecca, I'll go to the alchemy factory first, and you can go back and arrange the design of the general substrate yourself-the progress is good, I'm very satisfied." β
Jenny obediently put away the drawings, substrates, and gauntlets on the table, but Rebecca obviously didn't plan to go back to the institute honestly, she came up and grabbed Gawain's arm and shook it vigorously: "I'll go too, I'll go!" I'm going to the alchemy factory too! I haven't seen anything like that over there......"
Gawain glanced at the stupid roe deer: "What did you do in the past?" It's just that the reactor tank is finished, and it's not the ceremony of the whole factory being completed - and you don't know alchemy. β
"I could go over and set two fireballs to add fuel to the fire! Shouldn't fireworks be set off for things to celebrate......"
Gawain suddenly glared at her: "If you dare to throw fireballs in the alchemy factory, I will throw you out as fireballs!" β
"I'm talking about throwing ...... into the sky"
"Not in the sky!"
Rebecca stuck out her tongue and honestly raised a hand: "Then I swear in the name of Cecil's ancestors, I will be absolutely honest......"
Gao Wen just wanted to nod when he heard this, but suddenly woke up: "I am the ancestor of your family!" β
Rebecca: "......"
Amber next to her quietly leaned over to Jenny, lowered her voice and muttered to the latter, "Do you think these two people communicate like they have a hole in their brains?" β
Jenny is now accustomed to the atmosphere in Cecil's territory, but she can't get used to Amber's mouth, and she suddenly doesn't know how to pick up the stubble: "I...... I don't know what to say......"
"Hey, it's not interesting at all," Amber glanced at Miss Runemaster with disdain, and turned her head to look at Gawain, "Old Zongzi, are you still leaving?" It's fun to talk to your granddaughter......"
As soon as Amber spoke, she managed to divert the attention of Gawain and Rebecca, and the latter immediately stopped contradicting each other......
In any case, in the end, under Rebecca's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Gawain still took this iron-headed baby with too much curiosity, and followed Amber and the three of them to the location of the alchemy factory located on the edge of the town.
Even with the "black technology" level of new building technology, the alchemy factory is far from complete, only the No. 1 workshop and supporting storage facilities have been completed, and only one group of reaction tanks in the No. 1 workshop has completed the closed assembly, and in Gawain's concept, at least three workshops and twelve sets of reaction tanks are needed here to meet the production of basic alchemy potions - agricultural plant catalytic agents, soil amendments, weed inhibitors, druid healing potions for people, weak mana potions, various disease dispel mixtures, and so onIn the hands of traditional alchemists, these potions are made in a small alchemy laboratory with an alchemy table and several reaction bottles, but this operation obviously cannot be used in the factory: the reaction vessels in the factory will continue to operate, whether it is the addition of materials or the output of finished products are carried out in batches and uninterrupted, so except for a few special cases, each agent must correspond to a set of special reaction vessels.
Therefore, according to the properties of the basic potions, Pittman divided them into twelve "production lines" and three different workshops, and the workshops were isolated from each other to form different areas, so as to ensure that the produced potions would not be mixed and cause accidents - in fact, if according to Gawain's requirements, the potions for ordinary people, the potions for the transcendents, and the potions for agriculture should not even be produced in one factory, but the conditions of the territory are limited now, and the cost of opening three alchemy factories at the same time is really terrible. In addition, the druid potion is fundamentally different from the "pesticide" that Gawain knew in his previous life, and the basic agent currently scheduled is not too dangerous to be contaminated, so he approved the practice of putting the three workshops in one factory.
It's just that he also specifically put forward requirements for Pittman - if you want to produce a higher-level medicine with greater efficacy and toxicity and side effects in the future, you must completely isolate the entire production process, and there must be no hidden danger of mixed contamination from raw materials to semi-finished products to finished products.
The tall reaction vessel stood in the still-empty production hall, and Pittman, the apprentices he brought out, and the ordinary workers he recruited were busy around this brand new set of equipment, which was an unprecedented device, different from any kind of alchemy container in this world, different from the various magic machines that were thriving in the territory, and of course, different from the chemical equipment in Gawain's previous life.
In the center of it is a two-meter-high vertical iron can, several curved pipes connect the iron tank and several small reaction vessels around it, together forming a radial structure like a star, those pipes are not only the flow pipes of materials and gases, but also a part of the magic array, where these "pipe magic patterns" and reaction vessels are connected, you can see the shining druid magic runes and various magic runes complement each other, and on the surface of some reaction vessels, You can also see that large and small magic arrays are emitting a faint light, and on the "base" of the whole device, the surface of the cement platform that is more than ten centimeters above the ground is the key to everything: the inverter array.
It extracts the magical energy from the underground magic net and converts it into "natural divine power" that can be recognized by the druid magic array, and in such a magical transformation process, humans have mastered the power that once belonged to the gods.
