In the studio of the Institute of Individual Weapons in the southeast of Beta, the director of the institute, Mikhail, was fiddling with something out of thin air with both hands. His fingers and wrists flicked dexterously, as if he was playing some kind of instrument, which did not match his stocky figure at all.

Beside him was a strange magic machine, covered with transparent crystals, and inside there was a spatial lattice frame that shimmered with a light purple light. In the frame, two robotic hands were fiddling with metal devices, and their movements were perfectly synchronized with Mikhail's.

A researcher entered the studio, and before he could open his mouth, he was sprayed by Mikhail: "I said, don't urge me to eat and rest! What is the point of a legendary craftsman who doesn't eat, drink, or close his eyes for a few days? It's nothing if his head blows up! Go to the hospital and lie down for two days and be alive!"

"Seeing that the war is about to start, the weapon frame selection test has not yet been completed, and the guys who are clamoring to not even care about the frame and let everyone make their own weapons from beginning to end are about to gain power!"

"I'm checking the design of the mechanical parts of the last batch of plans, and at most tomorrow I can submit it to the Commission of Science and Technology for finalization. ”

The researcher didn't respond, and waited for Mikhail to finish spraying before timidly mentioning something: "Director, I'm bringing this to you...... The smuggled goods you just got from Prell City, you said you wanted to see the real thing. ”

Seeing the magic guide gun, which was obviously an improvement on the Finney type, Mikhailha cried out.

Changing the manipulator from synchronous mode to self-discipline mode, Mikhail took the thing, ignoring the researcher, and rummaged around on his own, muttering incessantly.

"It's good that it's modular, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in watching it. ”

"Is the scatterer actually in a fixed gate format? That is to say, there are only two modes, single shot and pulse, and the pulse mode cannot be adjusted yet?"

"Looking at the design of the Demon Scattering Weapon, you can only use the basic spell modules of Wind Arrow, Fire Arrow, and Basic Ice Arrow, and even the Adamantite Armor of the old-fashioned magic guide armament can't penetrate it. ”

"This is to produce a million Empire-made magic guns, far from the Ranger Blade of the Santarin Society and the Mage Scepter of Ted Academy!"

"It's a complete regression, is Stoner's brain watered?"

"Cheap design and cheap components, no wonder the black market price is only 20 Gimpoo ears. ”

The researcher smiled: "Director, it's because it's cheap that you will be selected, and the magicians of the empire will jokingly call the tower a 'fire stick'." The Ranger Blade and the Mage's Scepter cost several times more and are only available to those legions and units that have independent purchasing rights. ”

"Catch a soldier who is only equipped with this kind of weapon into the battlefield, and you don't even think about winning the battle", Mikhail shook his head with a face full of unbearable expression, and then sighed: "That guy Stoner is no longer worthy of being called a craftsman." Even if you want to press the cost, you should use more brains in the design, and you must have hugged someone's thigh in order for the empire to choose his plan. ”

The researcher nodded, "Yes, there is news circulating in the tavern in Prell City that Stoner has defected to Zold, the president of the Santarin Society. ”

Mikhail was disinterested, and handed the magic gun to the researcher: "Don't put this man in front of me anymore, he is no longer worthy of being my opponent." ”

Zord's Magic Guided Industries Group is the Magic Guided Gun giant of the Dawning Empire, and this plan is not so much Stoner's design as Zold's request.

As the only recognized competitor of Mikhail in the Dawning Empire, Stoner still succumbed to Zolde and Gimple, which also meant that he gave up the purity of the craftsman.

The pressure of competing with each other for several years, the frustration when falling behind, and the joy of surpassing all disappeared at this moment.

In addition to the lightness, Mikhail also gave birth to a strong emptiness.

Three or four years ago, in the war known as the First Order Holy War, the Dawning Empire's magic spear followed the Red Alliance. After Hathaway announced the magic particle technology, it was Stoner who promoted a magic gun revolution, so that the development of the magic guide gun of the Dawning Empire began to get rid of the influence of the Red Union and go on its own path.

Abandoning the live-fire route that complicates the structure of the magic circle, logistics support, and combat style, and focusing on reconstructing spells with magic particles, adding super magic techniques such as power amplification and magic diversion, the Dawning Empire's magic guide gun seems to have returned to the traditional era and become like a magician's wand.

This change coincided with the mage schools that had blossomed throughout the Dawning Empire, and the Storm Islands had revived their knowledge and experience in training battle mages. Civilians who learn a broken battle spell can use it to cast new spells that are transformed from magic particle technology.

Such a weapon can not only pose a serious threat to the Hero level and above the Transcendent (provided that there is no external protection), but also use external magic such as Magic Crystals through the Mana Drain Technique. It's just that the user still has to rely on himself to bear the impact of magic, and the combat continuity is not as good as the Ethereal Spirit Magic Guide Gun of the Red Alliance, and the soul will be damaged irreparably if used for a long time.

Now, in the Dawning Empire, except for the Hand of Order and other high-level warriors of the Holy See of Order, the standard weapons of ordinary soldiers have been replaced with this magic guide gun. In order to match the previous automatic magic guide gun in terms of fire density, the burst fire adopts a pulse activation method, which is why it has been called "pulse gun" and "pulse wand".

There are still many rumors about the reasons for the abandonment of the live-fire route. One of the rumors that is considered to be quite plausible is that the Dawning Empire has listed magic metals above magic steel as strictly controlled materials, and these magic metals are used by the goddess of order to repair Heavenly Mountain. There is no magic steel, and although Adamantite Gold and Mithril are cheap, they are far inferior to magic steel in terms of magic attachment, armor piercing and destruction efficiency, so the empire simply gave up the live-fire route and embarked on the magic enhancement route.

"Actually, from the moment the concept of scaffolding and scaffolding appeared, that guy was not worthy of being my opponent. ”

Mikhail thought so, the Red Alliance's Ethereal Spirit Magic Guide Gun was no longer an independent category, but was designed as a weapon module for the magic guide armament. The core of the magic guide armament is the scaffold, and this concept is also extended to the magic guide gun module, so that the magic guide gun also has the concept of a base frame. The scaffold, which is the functional module under the scaffold, is called the "scaffold" in order to distinguish the concepts.

Mikhail now not only does not preside over the specific design of the magic guide gun, but even does not directly design the magic guide gun frame, but reviews and evaluates the frames and modules proposed by each guild, selects the corresponding plan, and presides over the overall development of the Red Union in the field of magic guide gun together with the engineering bureau above the research institute.

"But more formidable opponents are eyeing the tiger. ”

Mikhail was excited, and what a sense of emptiness dissipated in an instant. He waved away the researcher and continued to work on his head.

From the Fei Gong to the Red Union, all the way from the war. In the current Red Alliance, the people who focus on combat, whether they are legionnaires or adventurers and hunters, are all weapons experts.

Not only do they know everything about the Wizard and all kinds of weapons, but they also deeply customize the weapons they are issued according to their preferences, understanding, and expertise, and even customize each type of weapon on their own. In their opinion, this is the basic quality of a warrior.

For these war experts, this view is true, but the resulting sense of superiority has created some troubles. Under the influence of this view, many people believe that there is no need for the state to dedicate forces to the study of individual weapons, and only need to provide the necessary conditions for the soldiers to solve this need themselves.

Fortunately, the top management is sober, and Mikhail also has a deep understanding of this. In small-scale wars that only require the use of specialized and elite troops, it is possible for the fighters to customize their weapons to their needs. But in a full-scale and general war, there will inevitably be a large number of people who are not weapons experts on the battlefield, and the state still needs to provide them with standard weapons that meet their basic needs. In addition, in order to respond to the overall development situation and set goals, it is necessary for the state to always play a leading role, and it is necessary to directly conduct research on individual weapons.

But if the new frame can't be brought out, the "DIY superior party" will be noisy again, and the pressure far exceeds the pressure that competitors can create.

"Damn...... It's just that at this time, Thor's hammer was successful, and Acre Sanji fell behind before it was finalized......"

Mikhail was very helpless, the research institute originally got the "individual magic weapon system" referred to as Acre 32, and did a combat test in the battle of hell, which originally hoped to become a standard equipment, but did not expect the success of Thor's hammer, so the central government decided to introduce the corresponding technology into individual weapons, and replaced the firing system in the ethereal gun with an "electric track".

"In the future, the Ethereal Gun can be renamed the Rail Gun......"

Mikhail thought so, although he was very uncomfortable with such a drastic change, but after testing the rail launch system, as a craftsman, he raised his hands in favor of replacing spells with rails.

The launch system uses rails, which are more adaptable, have stronger kinetic energy, and can also save a considerable amount of magic power. Although the logistics are a little troublesome, a gun has to take into account the three consumption of electricity, magic power and bullets, but the magic guide gun is only a module of the magic guide armament, and the magic guide armament provides power magic, and there is not much of a problem.

"The parts of the rail are still too complex, far less concise than the magic circle, and the reliability is very problematic. ”

Mikhail continued to disassemble the rail device in his field of vision, synchronized with the robotic arm in the space lattice, and disassembled the rail modules of each scheme. This is the rail module designed by each guild according to the technical principle of Thor's hammer, and Mikhail has to review the reliability of each scheme.

"Before there is no further breakthrough in the basic principle, we can only bring more spare parts, and replace them if they are broken. ”

The various plans were not very satisfactory, and in a hurry, Mikhail had to make compromises. Anyway, with the manufacturing capacity of Red Union, this kind of parts that have nothing to do with extraordinary power can be made into millions of dollars, and the cost is insignificant.

"Simple, versatile, reliable, ...... like gears"

Mikhail's heart swelled with a transcendent feeling of power, and a faint dark golden light flashed in his eyes: "No matter what kind of transcendent power, whether it is transcendent power or basic power, the mission of the craftsman is to enable mortals to manipulate power more conveniently, extensively, dexterously and more steadily, and to do things beyond their own limits. ”

..................

In the Pantheon of Beta City, in another conference room, several images hanging on the wall were also in the meeting.

This was a meeting in the field of military industry, and the leaders of the Red Alliance's military industry, including Yuzan, Artur, Herizal, Help, Allen, Stark, Katamun and others, were all present with images. The terminals of the four Wise Spirits, Ruthia, Emerald, Morninglight, and Serda, are also here, and they have divided into several processes to participate in the meeting, and there is even a QB clone image of that one.

"In short, we have to stop the pace that we have been going forward for more than three years without looking back, constantly pushing the limits. ”

Artur chaired the meeting and summarized the preliminary discussions.

Herizal nodded and said: "The Mobile Fortress Project has determined the two sets of plans for backtracking 613 and 759, and is ready to start the construction of the Floating Fortress of the Tiger Gel and the Void Fortress of the Montech at the same time. ”

"The data analysis for the blasting operation is almost complete," QB said, "and our research institute in the Void Commune can guarantee that the preliminary model and performance data of the engine will be submitted within half a month to refine the design of Monterhi. ”

Just like Xia An fused his Wanmeng Society with other literary and artistic propaganda groups to create a literary and artistic commune, the one who also integrated his endless mage group into the Red Union and won the establishment of the Void Commune. It gathered a large number of people dedicated to the development of the Void and the enemies of the Void, including some Blue Dragons and Silver Dragons.

Help said of the floating ship: "Originally, I wanted to finish the program research of the Gu Kun class, but since I want to go back, let's start with the Chao Kun." The young kun is too small, the cost-effectiveness ratio is not high, and it is not worth building in large quantities. ”

"If the escort force only relies on bighorn whales, there won't be much room for it, and the Dawning Empire will definitely expand the floating fleet against bighorn whales. I suggested starting the killer whale program, which is very mature. ”

Katamon hurriedly followed: "It's good for the male shark to use the fifth-generation scheme directly, and the biggest problem now is that the weapon can't keep up." Our Phantom torpedoes and missiles don't have an absolute advantage in range and power, so when will the kind of torpedo that rely on teleportation to attack targets from subspace be done?"

Rusya replied that this is also a branch project of the Mobile Fortress: "This also requires the basic support of the lattice engine technology, and how to ensure that the Ethereal Spirit is not disturbed by the subspace is a difficult hurdle that has not yet been overcome." ”

Katamun spread his hands: "Okay, that means that the next war, at least the war in the sky, is essentially a line of shots." ”

Stark, the authority of the magic guide armament, was dissatisfied: "Even if you line up to be shot, don't ignore the differences in protection, mobility, information and other abilities. As long as we accumulate little by little, we can still form a clear advantage over the empire. ”

Red Doraemon agrees: "That's right, the Blue Army Brigade with the old sleeve still has a huge advantage over Uncle Black with Aka. ”

Allen, an expert in ethereal spirit technology and also Rusya's guardian, scratched his head: "There are enough reserves of functional ethereal technology, you only need to adjust the interface, it's too late to control the ethereal spirit's research, there are too many solutions to monetize." ”

You Zan said firmly: "This is no problem, you are responsible for summarizing the requirements of each project." His Majesty is already preparing for the establishment of the Third Yard Peasant Regiment...... Ahem, the third development department. In addition to the Silk Witch and the Immortal Witch, many crazy angels with coder talent will also join the programming team. ”

Artur sighed: "Time is still very short, it depends on how much time we can buy us with the forces we can mobilize now." ”

"The current Dawning Empire is not the empire of the last Order Holy War, and the Sky Mercenaries controlled by the Santarin Society alone can dispatch thousands of battle ships. ”

"They have elemental furnaces, elemental bombs and cannonballs, and the performance of the floating ships and magic cannons is not much worse than ours, and some indicators are better than ours. ”

Herizal's tone was also solemn: "The population and material resources of the Dawning Empire are much stronger than ours, and the neutral gods are now basically falling to the goddess of order. ”

"The cardinal himself has said that the detonator and the demolition operation can be successful, but it only takes the opponent by surprise. When the empire is fully mobilized, we must be mentally prepared to endure some hardships and even live a hard life. ”

Katamon said uncertainly: "Rely on the forces mobilized now, support ...... One year, it's enough for us to completely update our technical equipment, right?"

There was silence for a while, and everyone gave a period of ten, six months, or three months.

Katamun said that the situation is really serious.

..................

"Hit Valentine and liberate East Fein!"

"Blow up the Divine Emperor Castle, Red Flag Roll Finn!"

"The red flag is floating on the Heavenly Mountain, and the red children are so enchanting!"

In the underground hangar of the Cactus base, pilots from the Aviator Commune were cheering. They all changed into gray flight suits of the Red Union Air Force, and on the platform next to them, a number of mechanical octopuses were spraying their strange and colorful landlines into dark gray paint and painting the Red Union Air Force number.

"I'm wearing this leather again, I'm really nostalgic. ”

"I feel like I can't accept the life of being scolded by my boss anymore. ”

"We are all squadron leaders, and there are hundreds of people under us, so let's scold them. ”

"If you stay in the Air Force...... Oh, it's called the Air Force, and we're at least the captains. ”

Red Union Flying Aces Jenir and Hassan muttered that they had just recovered from the battle of the Divine Emperor Fortress a few days ago, and now they were called back to the army, and their hearts were surging again.

At this time, a man in a dark blue uniform walked over, and the two of them recognized each other just by looking at the steps.

", are you alright?"

"Why don't you get some rest?"

The person who came was, but he was no longer bearded, and he was several years younger, full of spirit and spirit that he was about to do something.

"I'm also back in the army", Dekker laughed and beat his chest and shoulders with the two old guys: "My life is bought for hundreds of lives, so I have to take on hundreds of responsibilities, and I can't do it without hard work." ”

Hassan pointed to his uniform with a somewhat tangled expression: "The question is how did you join the ......"

nodded: "I joined the navy, and it said that the greatest value of me is that my face is familiar, so let me be a human resources specialist, specializing in recruiting people." ”

He glanced at the two of them and said with an ambiguous smile: "How about it, come to our navy? Most carrier-based aircraft squadrons are even short of squadron leaders." ”

Hassan and Jenir both had expressions that were chewing on mouthfuls of coffee beans: "Navy ......"

"There's a navy here!"

A pilot next to him shouted, and the others all gathered around at once, and they didn't have anything good to say.

"Yo yo, the guy who never fell to the ground actually trampled his noble feet on the dirty ground. ”

"What do you call us by the Navy? Oh, Floor Licker, do you want to know what we call you?"

"Gull! yes, that's the kind of guy who likes to on people's heads. ”

"Oh, it's you Dick! Why did you run away to the Navy? Don't you know that the Navy is full of old captain's daughter-controlled perverts?"

"It's not much better than my sister......"

kept a smile and put away all the resentments of the Air Force against the Navy, and then said: "Okay, okay, the Navy and Air Force are all the same, but the revolutionary division of labor is different, and the joke must be moderate." ”

"Our navy's mission now is to fight the Empire's floating fleet, seize control of the sky, especially control those high-altitude restricted areas, and cover the air force from attacking ground targets. ”

"So the navy is right to call your air force, if you don't want to bear this title, come to our navy. ”

These words made the pilots stunned, and it sounded like the navy was indeed a broader stage.

Then said, "Of course you have to think about it, if you join the navy, you may be crammed into a cramped floating ship for a month, and your feet will be so noble that they will go weak as soon as they fall to the ground." ”

The pilots, who were about to ask for further information, retreated, leaving only a few determined, including Hassan and Jenir.

Hassan crossed his arms and asked with interest, "So, it's really possible for us to shit on people's heads?" I've always wanted to throw special bombs on Norton's wizard bastards, but it's a pity that the technical problems are difficult to solve. ”

Jenil said, "I'm trying to cure my claustrophobia with stimulation therapy. ”

Dick smiled with relief, it was a great feat to be able to pull this pair of aces into the navy.

At this time, the crowd suddenly stirred, and one of the pilots shouted excitedly.

"It's a fight!"
