Chapter 89 More is beautiful, big is strong
In the humming sound of machinery, Rambo was busy in the laboratory, and as soon as he learned to use these machines, he threw himself into it, drilling, cutting, cutting, and having fun, and made a lot of various finished workpieces in a while. In his words, these tools were simply artifacts given to alchemical apprentices.
The high-level alchemists may have all sorts of spells and golems to help them increase their productivity, but apprentices are hard.
Apprentices lack the ability to cast spells, and most of them do not have puppets as helpers, so they are simply the lowest level of hard labor in the alchemist system, and they are simply coolies.
But the hard thing is that sometimes it is not easy to sell coolies, and many times, alchemists would rather use magic goblins or puppets as alchemy assistants than hire alchemy apprentices.
Therefore, in the production system of the alchemy factory, the apprentices are really at the bottom.
Magic guide manufacturing is very much a technical task, and it is quite difficult to increase productivity, at least at this stage of the apprenticeship.
A journeyman apprentice like Rambo is already very powerful, but it usually takes a long time to produce a magic guide tool, generally not less than half a month, but if you use these tools provided by Arthur, my God, this time may be shortened to a few hours.
Such an apprentice can produce more than ten times the original output in a month, and obtain dozens of times the profit.
Will the apprentice still be short of money? No, he will become super-rich. This would make his arcane path incredibly smoother.
More money means more magical materials, more experimentation, more experience and proficiency in alchemy, all of which can be met to produce the final product - that is, an experienced alchemist.
Alchemists are largely the product of diligence and a large investment of resources.
And the lack of these is often the main reason for the slow progress of alchemical apprentices.
And Arthur is willing to provide Rambo with an assistant position, which is definitely a great favor for him, and, more importantly, Arthur has a lot of money here, all kinds of magic materials are sufficient, and there are more opportunities to practice, this is simply a paradise for alchemy apprentices, in this case, staying for a while is to earn more experience, how can he let go of such benefits.
The young man's abacus is also quite fine.
The main thing that the two intend to produce is guns.
A wide variety of guns.
If it weren't for Arthur coming up with all kinds of design drawings and ideas, Rambo would never have come up with a magic guide like a gun that could play so many tricks.
In fact, if Arthur is not mistaken, the first cannon that appeared in this world will also be called a gun, because in the eyes of alchemists, artillery is a gun, both in principle and design, it is very similar to a gun, according to the alchemist's point of view, this is a gun, there is no problem.
Moreover, the alchemists of this world make guns, of course, they will not be like the earth, all of them are driven by chemical gunpowder, there are too many driving methods in this world, and there are all kinds of them, so the gun is likely to be just a general term in the future alchemy academic circles, a kind of design framework, but the future gun is likely to be ever-changing, and even Arthur, the inventor, cannot predict what the magic guide gun will be like in the future.
At this point, the two of them are mainly discussing the gun that will be mounted on Rambo's robot vehicle "Tristi".
"Of course, the gun I want is as big as possible, one shot down, even the mountains, but also shocking, I have to say, Arthur, this gun you designed is really simple and crude, with the purest power to interpret justice, this is really a perfect weapon."
Arthur pouted, although little Rambo was small, but as the two got along, the genes of violent maniacs on his body were more and more discovered by him. It also shook the mountains, you think too much! Let's think of a meteor shower summoned by the masters!
He himself is quite calm at this point, no matter how big the impact of the guns on the earth is, I am afraid that he will not dominate everything in the Luolan world.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about it constantly, thinking about some problems clearly, and he was worried that the gunpowder weapon he was worried about before would undergo some kind of unpredictable changes and effects when it was introduced into the Luolan world, which was too much.
It's a magical world.
The caster's power is always the mainstream of this world.
The introduction of guns into the world of Loran, even if it is possible to have some impact, but I am afraid that it will be very limited, and it is unlikely to affect the dominance of the spellcasters. After all, he still doesn't know anything about the reality of this world, for those strong people who really change the world between raising their hands, what problems can just guns solve?
That's why his mentors, the truly wise alchemists, don't care. Instead, they value the knowledge contained in this magic guide device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to get this out in person.
He had been a little worried.
"However, you have to think about a larger caliber 'gun.'"
Arthur explains to Rambo,
"It also means more recoil, and no matter how you drive the bullet, there's always going to be recoil, and your design can cushion that force, but it doesn't fundamentally reduce the problem. SO THE GUNS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OVER 300MM CALIBER SIMPLY CANNOT BE MOUNTED ON YOUR 'TRISTI'. ”
ARTHUR POUTED, AND IT WAS STILL 300MM, SO YOU DARE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
300MM CALIBER GUN, WHAT A CONCEPT!
That's the caliber of the battleship's main guns.
Even if you don't use chemical explosives as the driving force, and use other main guns that are powered by the elements of wind and fire, the huge recoil is not something you can imagine sitting here.
And the power of the gun is not the caliber of the better.
More power means more recoil, and the two complement each other, and this must be taken into account when designing.
Rambo, this kid is actually quite stubborn, Arthur's explanation can't convince him, he himself silently calculates there, as an alchemy apprentice, the basic mathematics is still good.
He quickly figured it out, and the results surprised him immensely,
"OH, THE GODS ARE ON TOP, IT TAKES SO MUCH THRUST TO FIRE A 300MM CALIBER BULLET! It's almost the same as the energy intensity of Lightning Storm, a high-level spell that is close to the forbidden spell level, which probably requires ten high-level magic crystals to drive, oh, unimaginable. ”
Knowing such a result, even he himself knew that it was impossible to want such a large-caliber gun.
"It's a pity, I really want to build a 'gun' like this, I want to see how powerful it is?"
He still regrets it.
In the end, it was Arthur who took his own design and handed it to Rambo,
"This is the gun I'm going to design for you, look at it, how about it!"
Rambo took a look,
"Hey! How about your design, will be six barrels? ”
"yes!"
Arthur smirked beside him,
"More is beauty, big is strong, more barrels are king!"
That's right, Arthur's design for Rambo is a rotating barrel design, a strange in the early history of firearms, but the development of history has finally proved that the king of guns with a high rate of fire and great power, and can better maintain continuous firepower - Gatling machine gun.
