Amber, a perennial wild half-elf, has a dark personality, has a stealing habit, is omnivorous and eats a large amount, likes to play, and will enter a state of dementia when playing to a certain extent, and then be chased and beaten.

Like now.

As soon as the word "old zongzi" came out, Gawain didn't react to what was going on, Hetty had already reacted first, and the big butler of Cecil's eyes glared at the staff and waved, and a strong murderous aura permeated out.

Amber herself reacted at this time, but she glanced at Hetty and began to die: "Who are you scaring about, you have the ability to put an ice arrow on my face......"

Then Hetty rounded the staff and knocked it out seven or eight meters......

Who said that the mage who could only rub cold ice arrows and big fireballs from the Cecil family did not make a hand of thirty-six resting sticks? Amber still has less to do with the people of Cecil's family, and she must not dare to jump like this if she knows that Heti and Rebecca have blood grooves on their staffs......

"You insulted my spells, and you insulted my ancestors!" Hetty is really a little anxious this time, staring at the tiger who picked up the staff, since her brother died, she had to help the brainless Rebecca as an elder to take care of the family business, she has rarely been so free-spirited, but anyone who knows Cecil's family style ancestral teachings should know that the elegant lady Hetty can use the staff as a war hammer if she is really in a hurry, "Don't think that if the magic can't hit you, I'll be out of luck, look at my ......"

Amber was suddenly chased and screamed, but fortunately, Gawain had already reacted at this time, and hurriedly ran to interrupt the farce: "Stop, stop, stop and stop, Hetty, you don't know that this thing's mouth doesn't have a door, Amber, you also took off the heat ray gun first when you were beaten, what if the sample that you finally got out was damaged?" ”

Amber: "......"

Hetty glared at Amber before bowing her head to Gawain: "Ancestor, you really should discipline this guy well, she is quite disrespectful to you now." ”

"Alas, I shouldn't have taught you the three words of old zongzi in the first place," Gawain sighed and turned his head to look at the gauntlet on Amber's hand, "Let's take a look at this thing first, why can't it be used all of a sudden?" ”

Amber fiddled with the heat ray gun in her hand, aimed at the distant target and pulled the trigger again, only to have another scorching beam of light fired out of the gauntlet and hit the target in the distance.

Amber frowned: "Looks like it can be used again?" ”

But then she fired a few more shots, and the beam failed again after the third launch.

"I probably see what's going on," Gawain nodded, raising his hand to greet the huge silvery-white funny standing by at the edge of the field, "Nicholas Egg, you come over and help open this part of the shell." ”

The cause was soon identified.

It's that the recharge speed of the mana capacitor can't catch up with the consumption of continuous shots, and the mana in the magic storage crystal is exhausted.

The "magic capacitor" designed by Gawain is essentially an energy device that is constantly automatically charged, but the charging speed is stable and slow, its recharge speed is constant, and the upper limit of capacity is also constant, which allows the original low output capacity of the honeycomb magic net unit to temporarily store the magic power in the crystal, so that it can supply energy to the circle with high energy consumption, but as long as these circles with high energy consumption continue to operate, then the energy consumption rate will inevitably exceed the charging speed of the crystal.

When the thermal ray gun is fired continuously, the capacitor will inevitably dry up and need to wait for a slow recharge before it can be used again.

"I see," looking at the gray-white storage crystal on the magic capacitor slot, Hetty nodded, "That's right, normal magic props are like this, the continuous release of magic is limited, and the magic power has to be replenished after it is used up, and it seems that the same is true for the thermal ray gun." ”

"But it's absolutely not going to work!" Gawain shook his head solemnly.

Rebecca looked dazed: "Why not?" Aren't all magic items like that? ”

"It's a traditional magic item, a ring that can only hold six fireballs a day, and a shield sigil that can only be used three times a day, but I would say that those things must be eliminated," Gawain shook his head, "On the battlefield, whoever damages their weapon first will die, and the same goes for the mana reserves of the Thermal Ray Gun, so we have to find a way to keep them fighting for a longer period of time." ”

The Byron knight, who rushed over to check on the situation, also nodded approvingly: "The enemy on the battlefield won't give you a few hours to let your mana capacitor slowly recharge. ”

"We've found the first place to modify," Gawain opened his mind and found his familiar rhythm again, he looked at Hertie and Rebecca, and Jenny standing behind them, "Do you know what is the biggest difference between this new magic weapon and the traditional magic props?" ”

Jenny: "Cheap? ”

Hetty: "Convenient? ”

Rebecca: "That's a cool name! ”

"The difference is that once the magic power of a traditional magic item is exhausted, you either have to honestly wait for it to recover on its own, or you have to find a mage to inject it with magic, and this thing we made ......" Gao Wen casually pulled off the crystal on the magic capacitor socket, and took out another piece of magic storage crystal that he usually used as a walnut to play with and stuffed it, "You can refresh the cast times at any time in case of emergency...... Eh, why can't you plug it in? ”

Rebecca explained seriously: "...... Ancestor, you didn't say that the crystals on the mana capacitors could be replaced, so Dandan's slots were disposable when you combined them, and the base was already deformed when you pulled the crystals off just now. ”

Hetty next to him hurriedly took over the second half of the sentence: "Of course, the slot can be adjusted, this is a completely minor problem, and the idea you put forward is more important, ancestor!" ”

Gawain: "......"

He couldn't even remember the last time he was successful in pretending.

But he quickly ignored this embarrassment, and pulled back to the topic with a straight face: "Hetty, make a record of the revisions: the location of the magic capacitor leaves a mouth that can be easily opened and closed, so that soldiers can quickly replace depleted crystals on the battlefield." In this way, in low-intensity or short-term battles, the Thermal Ray Gun's built-in magic capacitor can complete the battle, and in emergency situations, it can rely on external energy to continue fighting. ”

Hetty recorded it for a moment, but then frowned: "Ancestor, the reason why you designed the structure of the magic capacitor was originally to solve the two problems of too low output of the magic net unit and the short storage period of inferior crystals, but if you want soldiers to change crystals on the battlefield, how can the magic power in the spare crystals they carry be maintained?" Do you want them to use expensive high-quality Magic Storage Crystals as backup crystals? ”

"That's putting the cart before the horse," Gawain smiled and shook his head, "The huge production of low-quality Demon Storage Crystals is the magic weapon of arming the army. The low-quality crystals you mentioned will dissipate energy on their own during the soldier's carrying, so why don't we design a way to avoid escaping? ”

Gawain just reminded him slightly, and Rebecca's brain was already running rapidly, and after a few seconds of operation, "Ding" suddenly had an idea: "We can design a large capacitor similar to a magic capacitor, such as a box composed of many magic net units, the function is to store crystals and slowly charge the crystals, and stuff ten or eight spare crystals inside, as long as those substrates are made thinner, the weight will not exceed the spare swords that soldiers usually carry and reduce one or two spare swords, You can bring one of these storage boxes. ”

The Byron Knight, who was originally not very interested in the thermal ray gun, was also attracted by this discussion, and involuntarily followed Rebecca's words: "In this way, the storage crystals carried by the soldiers not only do not slowly escape energy, but have been charging, they stuff the replaced depletion crystals back into the container, maybe they can refill one in the battle that lasts longer, and this extra crystal may be able to save their lives!" ”

"The battle backpack that goes with the Thermal Ray Gun......" Gawain smiled and looked at Rebecca, "The principle of this thing is very simple, but if you want to lighten the magic net unit and ensure that the charging efficiency remains the same, its design will be left to you." ”

Rebecca proudly slammed her staff to the ground and tilted her face: "Don't worry, Ancestor!" I'm good at it! It can be done in a few days! ”

This momentum is as if he is going to rush out of the city with a sledgehammer and kill seven in and seven out......

"In addition, we have to enhance the versatility and scalability of the thermal ray gun," Gawain nodded, letting Hetty continue to record, and at the same time speaking to Nicholas Egg, "Let the mechanical engineering institute disassemble the thermal ray gun into components that can be industrially mass-produced, my requirements are: most of its components should be easily disassembled and replaced, and each part should be easy to process and durable, especially the scorching ray substrate if possible, We should design this substrate and the magic guide material connected to the substrate into a standard structure that can be combined at will, that is to say, in the future, the heat ray gun can be stuffed with a scorching ray array, or it can be stuffed into other general substrates, and it can become other weapons, and even become other armor and tools, I call this modular. ”

Herty's pen involuntarily stopped, her eyes slightly wide open: the word modularity, she had heard it more than once from Gawain's mouth, but it was only this time that she seemed to finally realize what it could achieve.

And just as the Thermal Ray Gun and the Battle Pack were gradually being discussed and matured, an outsider set foot on the land in the western part of the New Cecil Territory.

This is a strong man with a great presence:

He had short, light brown hair, unkempt hair spread out in a mess on the top of his head, his beard seemed to have been shaved, but apparently shaved so carelessly that stubble of various lengths still remained on his chin, and his face had been weathered and tarnished, but with a kind of fortitude, and in his deep eye sockets those eyes had a brilliance not possessed by the commoners of this era.

What is more noticeable than this appearance is the man's state and clothing:

He was dusty, but full of spirit, he was dressed in the priest's costume of the Church of the Holy Light, but the supposed ornate robe looked shabby, he carried a Bible around his waist, and wore a holy emblem on his chest, looking like a priest but tall and strong like a warrior.

The Holy Light Revercer, who was so strong that he seemed to be able to punch and kill a cultist, walked on the gravel road of Cecil's collar, his shoes already worn out from the long journey, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced down at the open paperwork in his hand:

Faithful servant of the Lord and priest of the Light, Wright Aviken, is hereby appointed to go to the south to preach the teachings of the Lord and the way of the Light.
