Chapter 309: Orbital Acceleration Cannon

Gawain would always pop up some inexplicable sentences and words, and sometimes even words that others could understand would be combined into an incomprehensible state in his mouth, Amber had long been used to this situation, and her way of dealing with these obscure sentences was very simple - that is, to give up thinking.

"What do you say," Amber rolled her eyelids, "the new magic machine?" Alchemy device? Or the weapon you mentioned last time? ”

"The report of the magic machine and the alchemy device will not have the logo of the Military Machinery Institute," Gawain smiled and pointed to the top of the report, then stood up, "Come on, let's go see this brand new weapon." ”

At the weapons test site on the south bank of the Whitewater River, preparations have long been in place.

Gawain was presented with a report stating that the finished product had been assembled and was awaiting acceptance by the lord, and at the same time that the report was delivered, Hetty had already ordered the personnel of the mechanical research institute and the weapons test site to prepare for the first test. When Gawain and Amber arrived at the test site, the area had been cordoned off by the soldiers of the Cecil Combat Corps, and the residents of the northeastern part of the city were informed of the weapons tests in advance - Cecil's new equipment was often accompanied by loud explosions, so under normal circumstances, it was necessary to give advance notice.

This is a weapon that Gawain has high hopes for, and it is a "expedited aggravation project" that was put on the agenda after the second defensive battle of Cecil, which is naturally very interesting, and basically everyone who participated in the research and development or is qualified to watch the scene rushed to the scene, including Byron and Philip...... The Cavaliers, as well as technical leaders like Jenny, Carmel, and Nicholas Egg, Hetty and Rebecca were of course on the scene.

This is the case in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, there are only a few people in the top-level team, and because of the lack of manpower, they often need cross-help, so that whenever there is a big result, they are all present to watch.

As soon as Gawain appeared, Rebecca happily trotted up to meet him: "Ancestor! Ancestors! You've got the 'Art Launcher' you want! ”

The last time Gao Wen chatted with the stupid roe deer, he couldn't help but mention "explosion is art" again, but the girl was directly crooked......

Gawain pressed Rebecca's head, his gaze falling on the war machine that had just stepped off the mechanical assembly table.

It is large, with an acceleration orbit of up to three meters and a total height of nearly two meters, and its shape is very close to the theoretical model that Gawain had previously constructed in the "simulation experimental field", but the details are very different.

It has four parallel metal tracks, still fixed to the base according to the cross structure, two acceleration rails, two fixed guide rails used to fix the trajectory of the projectile, stabilize the trajectory and reduce friction, but unlike the track simulated by Gawain in the virtual environment, the entire acceleration-orientation structure in front of him has been additionally reinforced, and there are three "fixing rings" made of strong steel plates to firmly hold these four rails together, and judging by the magic runes shining on those fixing rings, They probably also have the function of auxiliary rails to release waste energy and reduce magic interference.

The entire acceleration structure is mounted on a roughly triangular pedestal, which is covered with steel plates, although it is still a prototype, the strong metal control ability of the Nicholas Egg still makes this pedestal look very standard and sophisticated, its side can see the lines formed by the slightly shiny magic guide material, and the rear can see the control lever and the handle that can be shaken, in the part where the triangular base is connected to the acceleration structure, Gawain noticed the huge gears and hinges, That's obviously for adjusting the elevation angle of the track.

"Based on your drawings and suggestions for improvements, I've redesigned its adjustment mechanism so that it can adjust the pitch angle in a wider range, and the base also has a rotating disc connected to the gun emplacement, which can finally allow the entire gun to rotate freely," Nicholas Funny Egg floated over, making a metallic trilling sound from the sphere, "The upper positioning rail has added the kind of 'gun sight' you mentioned. In addition to this, Kamel has also redesigned the runic arrangement of the acceleration track, which can be more conducive to the release of waste energy, which can improve the overall life of the track. ”

Gawain turned his head and glanced at Kamal, and said in his heart that this ancient magister was really still a little obsessed with "service life......

"This is the 'cannonball' it uses," Carmel seemed to guess what Gawain was thinking, and broke the silence with a slightly embarrassed voice, he controlled the hand of the plasticizer and sent a metal magic guide device placed not far away to Gawain's eyes, "I have prepared a test bullet without explosives and a complete live ammunition - except for replacing the explosives with the same weight of gravel, the test bullets and live ammunition are exactly the same in every way. This is a test bomb. ”

Gawain glanced down - the magic-based cannonball had a very different shape from the Earth cannonball he remembered.

Instead of a cylindrical body and a conical warhead, it resembles more of a small, bizarre obelisk.

Its body is rectangular in shape, with a depression above and below to match the fixed guide track in the acceleration trajectory, and the tail and front of the projectile are inscribed with the runes "Blessing of the Wind" on the surface of the projectile's tail and tip, which are now dim - apparently, it is not charged.

Also, the demon guide structure attached to the shell body is not visible.

"Where does the energy of the Wind Rune Group come from?" Gawain asked curiously.

"Charge in the process of acceleration in the orbit," Kamel explained, "The cannonball is a consumable item, so find a way to save costs, because the wind rune on it only needs to let the cannonball fly for a few tens of seconds at most after activation, so there is no need to think about letting it carry an independent energy source, for the basic spell effect of only one level, as long as you add some crystal dust to the material when drawing the circle, so that it has basic energy storage properties, Then the energy stored in the circle is enough for this magic to run for a minute or so. ”

Gao Wen was a little surprised: "This is a good ideaβ€”what do you think?" ”

"I wish it was, but it was Rebecca's idea," Carmel turned a humble gray-blue and stepped aside a little, allowing Rebecca to step forward, "I have to admit that your descendant's talent for invention is simply enviable. ”

Rebecca immediately walked up with a "I'm super powerful" expression, and raised her face to the sky in front of Gawain: "I got the inspiration from your magic capacitor - as long as you add some additional magic guide structures to the acceleration track, drain some energy from the gun mount, and then treat the runes containing crystal dust on the cannonball as weak magic storage crystals, then the entire acceleration track will become an open magic capacitor." Although the shell spends a short time in the acceleration track, combined with the contact phase between the shell and the track during reloading, this recharge process is completely sufficient! ”

Gawain knew it in his heart, and felt that it should be like this - only Rebecca, who had come from a poor life, could always put the concept of "reducing costs to achieve mass production" that he taught first, how could Kamel, who lived in the era of local tyrants, have this concept of racking his brains to reduce costs - if it was the Gondor Empire back then, it would be considered a hard style for the gods to not use a whole piece of blue crystal carving to pop out a cannon......

Gawain praised Rebecca a few words, and after smirking at the girl's beauty, he turned his head to look at the soldiers waiting next to the railgun: "The technical details will be discussed later, I can't wait to see it in action, let's start with the test bomb?" ”

"It's the most process-oriented." Kamel said as he controlled the hand of the plastic energy to deliver the test projectile to the soldiers.

In accordance with the operating procedures that had just been learned, the soldiers immediately began to reload the huge war machine.

They opened the reload on the side of the turret, pushed the shell into it, snapped the shell into the track with the help of the pusher, closed the reload, adjusted the angle of the acceleration track, and activated the charging structure for overload (the scientific name is the Rebecca Efficiency Module......

The lines of mana on the gun mount grew brighter, followed by groups of runes on the entire acceleration rail, and a strange, low humming sound began to sound.

The other soldier who was operating the cannon was already standing behind the side of the gun mount, resting his hand on the handle that was used to fire the cannon.

The Byron knight gave the order: "Open the cannon!" ”

The soldier then flipped the handle.

The cannonball was thrust into the acceleration stage by the base repulsion mechanism, and then rapidly accelerated under the action of a series of repulsive runes, all the sounds converged into a sharp explosion, and with the entire acceleration track violently retreating within the base, a shiny metal device rushed out of orbit under the wrapping of a pale cyan cyclone, and flew into the clear sky with a sharp whistle.

The speed railgun was much quieter than the "artillery" that relied on the explosion of gunpowder to propel the projectile, but the sudden explosion still startled Rebecca and Hertie - Jenny exclaimed softly, covering her ears with a slow half-beat.

Dozens of seconds later, on a distant hillside that was the target, Gawain saw a cloud of smoke and dust that suddenly rose.

He smiled: "If the gun is okay, let's use live ammunition - it's more intuitive." ”

Several technicians from the Mechanical Research Institute immediately stepped forward to check the situation of the railgun, and soon a report came: "The track is in good condition!" The charge structure and the overload structure are in good condition! All moving parts are securely connected! ”

"Live ammunition!"

The soldiers repeated the process of the first launch, and this time, it was a live ammunition loaded with dozens of kilograms of Rebecca crystals that were pushed into the acceleration orbit.

Rebecca, who knew how much movement the crystal she tossed out, got behind Herty as soon as possible, and Hetty subconsciously hid behind Gawain, Amber looked at the reaction of the two, thought carefully, calmly analyzed, and the whole person became illusory - when the situation was wrong, he jumped directly into the shadow world.

Then the railgun was fired.

There was still a sudden explosion, and a metal device like a small obelisk, wrapped in a pale cyan air current, rushed out of orbit, and even Gawain and Carmel could only barely chase its flight trajectory - the shell did not explode immediately after the "chambering", its body and fuse safety mechanism withstood the test, and the whole shell flew through a long parabola in the air, and after dozens of seconds, it smashed heavily on the hillside in the distance.

There was a loud bang, as if thunder exploded, and countless earth and stones rose into the air in the explosion, and the impact fire generated by the explosion of magic power rose into the air.

Amber, who was about to drill into the Shadow Realm, froze in place.

She looked at the hillside that had been shrouded in smoke and dust, and there were huge fireballs in the air, and suddenly understood what Gawain meant by "negotiation methods" earlier.

Anyone who uses this thing to negotiate with her under any circumstances, she will absolutely cooperate......
