Chapter 444: Expensive Troops

"You're going to carry them to a steam airship and drop them to injure the enemy?" Homer guessed Downton's intentions.

"How long does that take?" Hu Tao thought it was impossible, "if it was blown up in advance or dropped and not blown at all, it would be useless!"

"The little princess is right, even if we make the goblin bomb big enough, it will not be easy to kill people, unless there are enough of them, but in this way, it is better to carry a squad of archers on the airship. ”

Abagon's knowledge of steam technology was limited, and he only had some theoretical knowledge from his father, but he was able to see more problems than Walnut.

Being crushed to death by this kind of iron lump on the vast ground, how bad luck is that?

"This tactic is not feasible, none of you have ever flown before, so you have no idea how agitated and chaotic the air currents at high altitude are, the weight of the arrows is too light, and you will be blown away if you shoot it out and fly more than ten meters. Homer vetoed, "Even if you fly low, you won't solve this problem." ”

"If you are at an ultra-low altitude, the advantage of the steam airship will not exist, and at a height of three or four hundred meters, those dragon slaying shooters will have the strength to hit the airship. Abagun was also shaking his head, he didn't want his master to spend money on useless things.

"Is it still called a steam airship when it flies low? It might as well be called a bird boat, carrying archers? As you can figure it out, they are all ranged troops, and the threat on land is the same!" Downton rolled his eyes, "You have to think about mobility." ”

"Yes, the archers are scattered, and they can organize themselves to fight again, but they can't help themselves when they sit on the airship. Homer had already analyzed the pros and cons in an instant, "And even if the enemy is defeated and pursued, it depends on whether the power of the airship can keep up." If the enemy scatters and flees, the archers will not be able to expand the victory, so it will be too inconvenient. ”

"Isn't the mission of the pursuit cavalry?" Hu Tao was puzzled.

"Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't need such a fast airship?" Homer was depressed, "Could it be that it can only be used for transportation?"

"How about a gunner?" Hu Tao was excited. Think you've come up with a good idea, "Javelins are heavier than bows and arrows, so they shouldn't be affected by the wind speed, right?"

"It's still a matter of hit rate, a blimp can carry up to thirty people, even if they are all marksmen, it is impossible to hit every shot!"

Homer sighed, whether it was a bow or a spear, in the Legion Battle, he used a large number of covering strikes to kill and wound the enemy, and wanted to kill and injure the enemy one by one. That's dreaming.

"Goddess, don't you think about efficiency? The airship is steam-powered, and to generate enough steam, it needs to burn a huge magic stone, even if the spear thrower will not get tired, he can continue to fight, and the hit rate reaches more than 90 percent, this is still a tactic to lose his wife's capital. ”

Abagon wailed. In any case, the master must be allowed to dispel this idea, otherwise the dungeon can't help but be such a waste even if it is a mountain of gold.

"The cost of fuel is estimated to be enough to form a cavalry regiment. "Homer is not unpurposeful. Steam airships will always be a money-burning thing.

"Do I look like such a stupid person?" Downton glanced at Abagun and tapped his index finger on his temple, "Think differently and use your brain!"

"Eh, do you already have a plan?" Hu Tao knew that the eldest brother had always been smart, and he didn't bother to use his brain, lying on his back. Wrap your arms around your neck and be coquettish.

"Listen up!" Homer was so unexpected, he gave in.

"The airship is at the same height, dropping a large number of goblin bombs, using the shock wave and flames from the explosion to kill!" Downton laughed, "except for the airship captain." The driver, plus two bombardiers, will do the trick, and the weight saved can also bring more bombs. ”

"Haven't you discussed it?" Hu Tao couldn't understand, "Is it really necessary to grow the arquebus?"

"That's absolutely impossible, the quality of the arquebus is not the same, which leads to the difference in the time of burning, so even if the altitude of the airship is constant, the time of the goblin bomb explosion is not the same. Abagon clasped his hands together, "Master, don't make trouble." ”

"Can you hear me finish?" Downton took the quill and parchment from the butler's hand, and began to draw.

"What is this?"

Walnut saw that Downton was drawing a spindle-shaped object with a pointed front and a tail at the back.

"Even if you change shape, it's still a goblin bomb. Homer's knowledge is vast, and he has seen more information from a drawing, "But how do you ignite this one?"

"With a firing pin!" Downton explained, "a firing pin was designed inside the bomb to be triggered by the pressure generated when the free-fall body hit the ground. ”

"Free fall? what's that?" Hu Tao's eyes were about to turn into a spinning mosquito coil again, because he couldn't understand it at all!

Homer was stunned, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, and his blocked train of thought suddenly became clear.

The principle of this detonation is very simple, with the wisdom of the Grimocan, Downton can figure it out without even going into details, a simple description.

"How did you come up with the idea?" The cheap god is also very interested, many inventions in history are like this, the principle is very simple, but many people do not think of it or do not notice, and those who see it, become famous inventors.

"Inspiration!" Downton digressed, he couldn't tell the cheap god, he used to have all kinds of bizarre dreams when he was a child, and in that dream world, there were flying iron birds, which had become the main force of war, and threw all kinds of bombs.

"I really want to know what the world is like in your eyes?" the cheap god sighed, knowing that in the eyes of some geniuses, the same world, they and ordinary people see it differently.

Sometimes an inspiration can change the world, such as the goblin master Watt, it was he who saw the boiling kettle, had a flash of inspiration, and improved the steam engine, which brought the steam civilization and created the glorious era of the big goblin.

"Abagon, Homer, do you think it's troublesome to make such a bomb?" Downton drew a few more bombs, asking the two professionals.

"It's hard to build a goblin bomb from scratch, but it's not too simple to make a small improvement on what you already have. Homer admired the drawings and explained casually. "Even if you change the fire rope ignition to a firing pin, let alone use Krupp and dwarves, I can solve it. ”

"That's good!" Downton reassured, "if you want to conquer the West, maybe you will rely on it." ”

"This weapon is powerful?"

Abagun asked, and Hu Tao blinked in waiting for an answer. If you haven't seen the power of bombs with your own eyes, you'll never know how terrifying they are.

"Call them the Grim Reaper, a nightmare for any class on the ground!" Downton racked his brains as he remembered the structure and type of bomb, trying to write as clearly as he could, "You'll know then." ”

"I'm going to be the captain of the airship!" Hu Tao began to coquettish again.

"No problem. ”

"Don't be complacent, the cruise speed of the airship is not fast, what should you do after encountering the opponent's flying monster?" Homer reminded, "The Duke of the Western Realm does not have a flying class, but there must be a flying magic pet." If they attack the airship, you're going to crash!"

"I've got a firebird to escort you. Downton laughed, "If it weren't for Sharomanda, I wouldn't have dared to use it even if I got the airship, but the combat power is still too small, and I need to catch more flying demon servants." ”

"Let's go, go to Dragon Island to catch dragons!"

Hu Tao jumped off Downton's back and jumped to the ground.

"My little ancestor. Slow down, there's the Dragon Legion. You still need a fart airship formation, and you can take the whole of Frankfurt by them. ”

Abagun hurriedly grabbed Hu Tao, and with the rough line character of little Lori, he really did it.

"Last question, these bombs need to be dropped intensively to be most lethal, where do you get the materials to make them? These are all military supplies. It is prohibited in any country. "Homer is worthy of the Ancient Magic Book, and has understood the key problem with the bomb.

"Looking for Hannah, looking for Andrea, it's really not okay for me to deal with the Brotherhood, no matter what, my Air Force dream must come true. Downton shook his fist. He was ready to hemorrhage, but he was afraid that he would have nowhere to spend his money.

"No wonder the master befriended Hannah, it turned out to be for this step!" Abagun suddenly realized, he had wondered how the master had brought his opponent home.

"Who are you going to give it to to make it?" Homer had a headache, "Krupp has the best technology, but there is no way to trust it, and the same is true of the group of orc blacksmiths you recruited, and the technology will be leaked to the state the next day, and none of the blacksmiths in the mine can be used except for the dwarf Giroud, but with him alone, the output will definitely not go up." ”

"Let them all sign a death contract. Abagon was ruthless, "Such an important technology must not be handed over to outsiders to do." ”

"I'm not going to force them to do such a thing, I'm not a tyrant?" Downton frowned, inwardly resisting it.

"Blacksmiths are skilled talents that are hoarded in various countries, and they rarely end up in the slave market, so buying slaves doesn't work. "Abagun is going to die.

"Don't you have a few giant guards, the Flower World of the West Soil has conquered them, and you let them go back and persuade their parents to settle down in the West Soil together. "The cheap god is insidious, and it is also eye-catching.

"Surely their patriarch disagrees, right?" Downton shook his head.

"Stupid, won't you say that you left in the name of visiting relatives? Anyway, the portal is in your hands, and when they come, they can't be instructed by the patriarch. The cheap god really wanted to knock Downton on the head, "If you want to do big things, don't worry about these small places." ”

"Yes, when the time comes, the food and drink will be enshrined, and they will definitely be happy. Homer wasn't worried about Krupp's forging skills.

In our lives, we will always walk with metal, this is a famous proverb of the Krupp tribe, which is enough to prove their love and exquisite craftsmanship in blacksmithing. (To be continued......)

PS: The bomber appeared, long before the book was opened, we designed this class, and one of the meanings of Abagon's existence is to find those hidden books, please look forward to the bombing formation after the table!

In addition, the number of PS words is not money!
