Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Hextech and Magic Mechanization
Although the Kun fighter is good, it also needs to be localized.
At the very least, the power of the aircraft must be transformed into magic crystal power. Otherwise, no matter how much oil is stored in Arthur's warehouse, it will not be able to withstand this consumption.
Generally speaking, if it flies in the sky for an hour, it will consume more than a dozen tons of high-grade aviation fuel, and if this thing does not add a fuel tank to it, its own fuel load is even enough for it to fly for half an hour, that is, more than 1,000 kilometers.
If it comes to wartime, it will not even last for ten or twenty minutes.
This is a typical modern military fighter, with a large appetite, short legs, and short parts life, and the problems of these high-end goods of the modern military industry, it has all of them, especially the aero engines above, which have to be replaced after hundreds of thousands of hours of operation each time, and it is quite troublesome to maintain.
If you don't want to modify it, Arthur can't help it, and use this kind of thing to organize an air force.
It can be seen that any technology transplantation is very troublesome, not to mention, what he is doing now is that the technology transplantation across the multiverse and civilization will definitely not be so simple.
"That means you're going to change it to a magic machine?"
Victor understood what Arthur meant.
"A magic plane flying in the sky? I think it's good. But with such a big guy, I'm afraid only that old guy's Hextech power core is possible. ”
Hextech is actually a more integrated magic crystal power.
Like the traditional magic crystal power, its power is also derived from magic crystals.
However, it is more modular and versatile than the traditional magic crystal power, and it will not require the user to add a variety of complex rune arrays, it is like a black box, which hides the details of the complex magic crystal energy transformation array and a large number of rune arrays, and only provides an output interface to the outside world, directly outputting power, and converting it into standardized power.
This greatly lowers the threshold for the use of magic crystal power. This makes almost all alchemist apprentices more proficient in building Hextech-powered machinery.
Since the invention of the core technology of Hextech technology by Heimerdinger, the alchemist master of Picheng, Picheng has embarked on the fast track of development.
In the past few decades, the production and use of magic technology machinery has increased by dozens or even hundreds of times, and the cost has also been reduced by several times and more than ten times, so that a large number of high-grade magic crystal power machinery that were originally only qualified to be used by those bloodline nobles and big businessmen have also been able to enter the homes of ordinary civilians.
The various magic locomotives running on the streets of Picheng, the heavy cranes on the docks, and the various convenient and convenient Hex-powered machinery used by ordinary workers have greatly promoted the development of Picheng society.
According to statistics, the number of craftsmen in Picheng has increased twenty-fold in recent years, and the whole city has changed from a pure trade import and export port to a city with its own large-scale industrial system.
Now Picheng has the confidence to compete with Zu'an, who is gathered by traditional alchemists, and Hextech definitely plays a big role in this.
Over the years, Zu An, who is close at hand, has watched the rapid development of his neighbors after using Hextech, and it is impossible not to be jealous.
If the magic technology revolution in the Loran continent was born and set off from the traditional alchemy and mining industry region of Zu'an, then the Hextech power is the fruit of this technological revolution, but to a large extent, this fruit is exclusively enjoyed by Pi City.
Can the alchemists and alchemy barons of Zaun look greedy?
Therefore, Zu'an has been trying to and vigorously promote the development of alchemy technology in the sea.
This is the future, and Zuan should also strengthen research in this area.
"You want to use the Hextech core as his motivation?"
Victor looked up.
"Of course, such a big guy, can there be any other way besides Hextech?"
Rambo replied for Arthur.
Victor looked at the plane in front of him and thought thoughtfully:
"If you can put Hextech into practical use, your contribution to Zu'an will be even greater, so that Zu'an can develop as rapidly as Picheng, and everyone will benefit from it, not only the military, then everyone will thank you, and in the future, no one will question and hinder you in Zu'an."
It seems that Victor has always been aware of the undercurrents within the military.
"Actually, the Alchemy Guild and I have always wanted to build a purely magical mechanized army."
Victor added,
"Muskets, artillery, we relied on these to repel the attack of the Noxian Empire."
"But that's not enough."
"Everyone sees the potential of the magic weapon."
"Many people in the rebels are planning to mechanize all the weapons of the rebels, more muskets, more advanced artillery, and put muskets and cannons on puppets to conduct wars, as well as the production and transportation of weapons, which also requires a lot of machinery, and the whole system is magically guided and mechanized."
"But I didn't know how to do it. Maybe you can have a good chat with them. Victor said.
Magic Machine?
The Resistance's Magical Mechanization?
Arthur was astonished when he heard this.
These rebel guys would dare to think about it.
The leaders of these rebels were a little ahead of their time.
Any war is essentially a war of wealth and technology.
If the war machinery of Magic Technology is compared to the traditional army of mages and warriors, its biggest weakness is probably the extreme dependence on resources.
Those high-level mages spend the most on magic crystals and staffs, some alchemy items and materials.
The weapons of the magic technology require a large amount of steel, various materials, and a large number of magic crystals at every turn.
Any alchemy puppet and magic guide machinery is a big consumer of magic crystals, and every minute they spend on the battlefield is supported by these massive steel and magic crystal resources, and their consumption of materials is not at all an order of magnitude with traditional mages and warriors.
Whether it's a mage or a warrior, their endurance is far greater than that of the magic machine.
In this regard, the magic guide machine does not have any advantage over traditional mages.
It can be said that if, as they originally imagined, the entire resistance system relies purely on muskets, cannons, and alchemy puppets to fight, and on this basis, complete magic mechanization is realized, then the future resistance army needs to establish a huge alchemy industry system before it is possible.
"In this case, we need to have a large industrial population first, and we need to break the shackles of the alchemy baron on society, and free the slave miners from the underground pits."
“…… We need to train all those slave miners into skilled craftsmen, build a large number of factories, and increase their productivity, as Picheng is doing now, which will involve the transformation of the whole social system......"
“……”
"Eventually, the upgrading of the old alchemy industrial system in the entire Zu'an region will be realized, which will be a whole."
"Only a large-scale industrial system can raise a truly mechanized army."
After listening to Arthur's explanation, everyone also realized that if they want to realize the mechanization of the magic guide, it is not so simple.
