Two hundred and three wars, the weapons of war
"There is a lot of preparation to be made, and this is the most important thing at this stage. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the depths of the Great Temple of Rose, in Yuzan's laboratory, Litch stood in front of a pile of things and spoke to Artur, Sardar, Wilson, and Youzan.
The first half of this pile of stuff looks a lot like a medieval mortar cannon in the earth world, more than half a meter long, with a caliber of nearly one meter, plus a thick pipe wall, the diameter of the pipe is a meter and a half!
There are three layers in total, the outer layer is black iron, the middle layer is copper, and the innermost layer is a thin layer of pure gold. This layer of adamantite "cannon chamber" is supposed to be inlaid with an intricate circle of various gemstone crystals, but only some traces can be seen now.
The bottom of the tube was empty, leading to the pile of rags at the back.
According to the drawings, the pile of junk was something similar to a turret, but there was no mechanical structure other than a device that could turn the barrel of the gun, but a variety of complex magic devices.
The magic cannon, the high-end combat power of the world of Fein, the most basic magic cannon is also as powerful as a cannon of at least 155mm caliber, and it also comes with various elemental damage.
In Ada's documentary, the power of this thing is on full display, and without the protective barrier, the battlefield will definitely become a hell on earth.
As the core project of the "in-depth cooperation" between the two, Zord provided the magic cannon and spell model materials, and Litch was responsible for improving the performance and cost of the magic cannon. The two companies jointly own the "intellectual property" and produce their own products. On Theresia's side, whoever gets the order must divide it equally.
Zolde is not in charge of the magic cannon project in the family, a junior magic cannon is worth hundreds of thousands of gold bushels, and he can't make his own decisions, so he can only secretly get scrap from the warehouse and hand it to Li Qi.
"The core principle of the magic cannon is to amplify the high-level plastic energy spell, and the power depends on the amplification multiplier, the amplification multiplier of this magic cannon should be two levels, which is a very rudimentary thing. ”
After studying the manual, Yuzan came up with a rough conclusion: "These two levels can be used to increase power, and they can also be combined with skills such as rapid casting, silent casting, or spell penetration. ”
"For example, if a fourth-level magician is used, his fire explosion technique will be increased to level six by the magic guide cannon. If he chooses to only increase his power to level 5, he can also stack his quick cast skills. If it is a level 6 magician, it only increases its power, and it cannot make the Fire Explosion Technique a legendary-level spell, but it can still pose a threat to the legendary.
As an enhanced version of the fireball technique, commonly known as the "Great Fireball" flame explosion technique, the power can be imagined. A sixth-level flame explosion technique, and then double the increase, even a legend will not rush to carry it.
"The core component of this magic cannon is the fire element amplification array, using a sixth-level flame core crystal, through the composite circle that wraps the nuclear crystal, sending instructions to the fire spirit inside the nuclear crystal, it is really a backward practice, it has not changed at all for thousands of years......"
Yu Zan despised the lack of progress in the technology of the magic guide cannon, did not encode the bottom layer of the transcendent power, and created a transcendent assembly language, so it was naturally impossible to directly engrave the magic circle with a program inside the ethereal spirit, and could only be simulated and controlled through the embedded magic circle, which was not only costly, but also not intelligent at all.
Yuzan continued: "This cannon barrel is used to locate the large fireball, and the Adamantite Circle inside the tube is used to absorb magic impact and fire damage, and Mithril can't withstand such high temperatures. ”
"The device behind the tube is the Flame Core Crystal and the Additional Magic Circle, but the structure and principle are actually very simple. These extra things have devices to alleviate the impact of mana, and the amplified fire explosion mana disturbance is too large, causing damage and spellcasting obstacles to the mage. There is also a device to calm the magic field, if you don't want to calm the magic field, it will curb the convergence of the power of the fire element and reduce the power of the magic cannon. ”
So, most of the construction of the magic cannon is actually to eliminate the effects caused by increasing the level of spells?
"That's right, without these things, the cost of the magic cannon will drop to less than one-third of what it is now", Youzan's commentary implicitly sarcastic: "But in this way, no master will be willing to be a gunner, which is tantamount to suicide." ”
That's the trouble with the world of Finn, the magic equipment has to be operated by the transcendent, and the magic cannon has to be operated by a magician, and it must be at least level four. Behind each magic cannon, there is a venerable mage, and together with the protective enchantment, they determine Finn's current war style.
You Zan suggested again: "Our own magic cannon can be programmed in the Ethereal Spirit Language, but this part of the cost savings is not much, and it takes a long time to figure out the characteristics of the Fire Spirit and connect with the You Language, so I don't think we need to think about this aspect for the time being." ”
Li Qi agrees, and now You Zan has to continue to engage in the psychic network, which is the big killer to improve productivity.
The improvement of the magic guide cannon, a war killer, can only find another way.
Sardar said: "I think that we can build a small magic cannon that can be used by the strong on the same principle. ”
He and Wilson were among the few people in the Epsilon who had military experience, and although that experience was limited to security levels such as catching thieves, they finally had a bit of a military mentality, and Litchie also pulled them into the project as staff officers.
"My thoughts are ......"
Li Qi was a little hesitant, as can be seen from the documentary that Theresia's side is quite lacking in heavy firepower. It's okay to say that when you attack a strong fortress like Valentine's Cathedral, there won't be enough magic cannons to blast the enchantment, and the situation will be very unfavorable.
The airborne tactics used by Tangus on that occasion would most likely not work in Valentine. And the magic guide gun cannot play a key role in such a tough battle.
The Magic Gun is just a tactical innovation of the magic weapon, and now he needs to make a change in the strategic level of the magic weapon to ensure that Theresia's side has enough advantages.
In other words, it is no longer possible to reduce costs by reducing power and range as in the improvement of the Magic Guide Gun, thereby increasing the overall combat effectiveness. The improvement of the magic guide cannon must not only reduce costs, but also increase its power and range, so that it can truly become a big killer enough to dominate the battle.
It's a tall challenge......
Wilson sighed, "Yes, we don't have a level 4 mage to test at any time. ”
Li Qi smiled bitterly and forgot about this stubble.
Artur scratched his head a little embarrassed next to him, he, a third-level magician, is essentially a magician, and he can only change some auxiliary spells of the system and the prophecy system, and has never been in contact with the plastic energy system.
Although Ida is a fifth-level magician, she only specializes in the transformation system, Rowanna......
Li Qi thought about it for a moment and vetoed his plan to turn to Rowanna again. This is his cooperation with Zolde, and she cannot be involved.
As for Zold, he naturally would not accept Zolde himself, or the people he recommended to join the team.
He suddenly thought of a key question: "If it can only be activated by a magician, no matter how cheap the magic guide cannon is, each one must be bound to a magician, and the scale will still not be up." Isn't it possible to use divine power to activate the magic cannon through the activation device like the magic guide crossbow or other magic guide equipment?"
If this path works, although the size of the magic cannon is still limited by the number of high-level transcendents, the number of gunners who can expand from mages to priests will greatly expand.
In the previous battle of 100,000 people, the total number of magic guide cannons on both sides was less than thirty, which was really shabby.
Youzan's semi-circular head was hovering in circles on his body, and without thinking about it, he must be laughing at Li Qi's idiocy.
Artur explained: "The magic cannon is just an amplification circle, and it must be changed to a fire explosion circle to achieve your request, but the fire explosion circle is much more complicated than the amplification circle, and I don't know how expensive that magic cannon will be." ”
"In addition, the Mage Federation also has a strict order prohibiting the research of many spells at level 4 and above, including most plastic energy spells. Until now, no one has come up with an activation device that can activate the Flame Explosion Circle with divine power, and if it does, the Mage Federation will definitely turn its face. ”
Li Qi scolded: "Damn technology monopoly!"
The Mage Federation is doing this, of course, to ensure that the mages have a sufficient strength advantage in the face of the clergy.
For some less powerful plastic spells, as well as auxiliary spells such as teleportation, the Mage Federation can carry out "divine power" development in order to make money. However, with such a powerful spell as the Flame Explosion Technique, the Mage Federation was naturally reluctant to let the clergy master it.
The road is broken......
Li Qi thought of another direction: "If there is no powerful magic art, can it be developed into a magic cannon?"
In fact, there are, among their own witches, Ellie's sword of liberation can be said to be extremely powerful. It's a pity that Elle has to be asked to straighten out the spell model, and now the witches are only beginning to ponder the first-level divine arts, and the Sword of Liberation is a third-level divine art, which is still very early.
Besides, even if you get it out, you can only use it yourself, and you can't solve the current problem.
You Zan finally had the opportunity to belittle Li Qi: "The magician has invented a conversion device that uses divine power to stimulate magic, so that all kinds of divine power can stimulate magic, but how to convert between different types of divine power? Divine power is the power of faith, which involves the compatibility and conversion of faith, and it is no longer a problem that magic technology can solve." Of course, there are general magic spells, but you don't really want healing magic cannons, do you?"
"As for the powerful magic arts, the magic is more focused on the soul, and the power is inherently weaker than the magic that is more important than the matter. Think about it seriously, you clergy, what else can you do besides adding buffs, being meat shields and wet nurses, giving specific attack bonuses to the undead and demons, and creating optical pollution?"
Li Qi shot back: "Yes, if the priest can also be a fort, the master can only do some chores such as pulling the table and opening the door." ”
There is no hope for this road for the time being......
Sardar said with perseverance: "Young master, let's get a small magic cannon first, it's always a cannon." ”
Wilson agreed: "Squad combat should be useful. ”
Thinking about it, I can only get this first, at least I can get something out quickly.
Li Qi said again: "We are still too few people, Artur, you will also serve as the leader of the small magic cannon project team, and You Zan will be the guide." ”
Artur was glad that he was able to receive the teachings of his mentor again. He has already joined Youzan's sect and has become a disciple of this "puppet legend". Although Yuzan's profession is not a magician but a "spell builder", Yuzan's knowledge of magic is even more profound than that of Rowanna, which makes him call the right person.
"You also know that there are too few people, just like the key to the magic cannon is actually the gunner, you also have to find a way to expand the magic guide technical team on our side......!
Yu Zan said in a very sneering tone: "Doesn't that newborn witch have the seed of the god of fire on her body? I heard the witch of Rose say that her divine light technique has turned into a black ball of fire, why don't you find out the bottom of her? Maybe there is a chance to blossom and bear fruit." ”
Yo......
Li Qizhen was reminded, yes, Eve, the newborn witch, is actually related to fire.
Wait, what does it mean to blossom and bear fruit......
Li Qi condemned: "You zan, you have learned badly from the goddess!"
