Chapter 565: Code Name Thunder Eagle
For this new warframe, Rocky named the design code name Thunder Eagle, which has the same name as Thunder Eagle City, which is not a random name, the reason why he named this warframe Thunder Eagle is that he hopes to make a name for himself through this warframe, so that everyone knows the ability of Thunder Eagle City to make a warframe, as if he named his luxury brand after Lilia.
So after his leisure time, Rocky began to concentrate on the design of the Thunderhawk Warframe.
Regarding the design idea of this warframe, it was explained in detail during the consultation with the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to go into details, but considering the progress of the rune research by Orton and others, if they can really make a major breakthrough in the research of the rune in half a year, and then they can announce the existence of the rune to the world, then Rocky must make some fine-tuning to the design of the Thunderhawk Warframe.
Since he personally participated in all the experiments on the White Demon Warframe, and also personally led the research and development of the tank Warframe, Rocky is well aware of the time it takes for a Warframe to go from conception to design, then to manufacturing, then testing and adjustment, and finally to being able to be used in battle.
For example, the White Devil Armor, don't look at the fact that the White Devil Armor has been worn on Rocky for a long time, but in fact, in the eyes of Orton and others, the White Devil Armor is still not a finished armor in the true sense, at most it is just a relatively mature experimental armor.
The same is true for tank-type warframes, which is why the Sky Alliance began to improve it on its own after getting the design drawings of the tank warframe, because Rocky was in a hurry when designing this warframe, and there were still many aspects that had not been perfected, so it was not so much that he shared the design drawings of the tank warframe with the Sky Alliance, but rather shared the design ideas.
As for the newly designed Thunderhawk Warframe, Rocky's initial idea was to use the Philosopher's Stone as an energy source, because this Warframe was to be sold to the outside world, and when Orton conceived this Warframe, they had not made a breakthrough in their research on runes, so he did not use rune technology.
But now, after knowing the specific time when the runes could be announced, and considering the cycle from design to production of the new warframe, Rocky felt that he could change his mind, abandon the magic stone he originally intended to use, and use the energy of the rune battle armor instead, so that the combat effectiveness of the warframe would be further improved.
Fortunately, fortunately, the design of the Thunder Eagle Warframe is only in the initial stage, and it is convenient to make any changes at this time, so for a long time after that, Rocky almost lived in the research institute, because once the Warframe uses runes as an energy source, then all the technology carried by the entire Warframe will also be changed to rune technology, so in the process of designing this Warframe, Rocky also took the opportunity to study the research results of Orton and others.
This is a rare opportunity for Rocky, because in the process of Orton's study of runes, although Rocky has always paid attention, and even spends one or two days a week to observe and study, his identity is not a student after all, he is the lord of a city, and there are too many things that need him to deal with, even if he has the heart to learn the rune technology researched by Orton and others, sometimes he really can't get away.
So this time, taking the opportunity to design a new armor, he learned a lesson for himself, almost every day in the research institute, every day is constantly supplementing new knowledge, reading information about rune technology, if there is something he doesn't understand, he will ask, if there is something he can't learn, and then little by little he will apply what he has learned to the new armor, if he really can't figure out something, he will ask Hammer Fire.
In this way, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and after such a long time, the design of the Thunder Eagle Warframe has finally been completed!
When the design of the Thunder Eagle Warframe is completely completed, this Warframe can be said to be very different from the beginning, first of all, the combat effectiveness is stronger!
At the beginning, because it was planned to use the Philosopher's Stone as an energy source, the magic energy of this warframe was conservatively estimated to be around 5000, but after using runes, the peak of the magic energy possessed by the warframe skyrocketed to 8000!
What is this concept?
Among the fifth-generation special armors, the peak of the magic energy of the more general special armors is only about 8,000 points, which means that the Thunderhawk armor designed by Rocky has reached the level of the fifth-generation special armor at least in terms of magic energy!
This is the huge difference between runes and magic stones, and what is even more exaggerated is that because the Thunder Eagle Warframe is an export-oriented Warframe, Rocky is very restrained when using runes, not only does not use the top rune technology researched by Orton and others, but the runes used are only third-level runes, but even so, the Thunder Eagle Warframe is about to reach the level of the fifth-generation special Warframe.
There are also weapons, the biggest difference between the Thunder Eagle Warframe and the ordinary Warframe is two places, one is the external wing, and the other is the new weapon system, under the leadership of Rocky, the Thunder Eagle Warframe has given up the weapon system of the traditional Warframe, not one or two, but all of them!
What magic bullet launcher, magic cannon, magic beam are all abandoned, this armor will use a new weapon designed by Rocky - magic machine gun!
In Rocky's view, although the traditional weapons of this world are very mature, the efficiency is too low, the power of the magic energy bullet is insufficient, the hit rate of the magic energy cannon is too low, and the magic energy beam is very good, but unfortunately due to many limitations such as energy, the space for the magic energy beam is extremely limited, so he plans to make drastic improvements to the weapon system on the armor he designed.
The first thing he did was to build the world's first magic machine gun!
The so-called magic machine gun, the shape is designed by Rocky according to his own memory, but this machine gun is not a bullet, but a magic energy bullet, as for the energy comes from the battle armor, through the magic energy transmission system in the machine gun, it fires a magic energy bullet with greater power and higher accuracy.
And the successful development of the magic machine gun, although there are not too many special things in technology, and it is easy to understand in principle, but in terms of thinking, it is absolutely groundbreaking, and even when Hammer Fire really built the first magic machine gun in this world, he couldn't help but sigh, and rarely urged Rocky to hurry up and experiment, because even a master like Hammer Fire can't wait to see the power of this weapon!
