Chapter 162: Peeking at the Book
What does Sai fall asleep in, this question Kevin "doesn't know". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt stands to reason that it can't be because I'm too tired or my speech is too boring, and Sain didn't eat anything when I came in from the venue, so there was no problem with poisoning. However, sometimes the strong will have the ability to hypnosis or the like to the weak, and this kind of mental attack is often used in many polemics, without hands, and it is also difficult to detect. For example, in the courtroom, lawyers often attack each other psychologically, and the judge can at most knock on the hammer and shout "no magic in the courtroom", but it is still unavoidable.
But because the mental attack is difficult to detect, there is no evidence to prove that Sain was mentally attacked, so Kevin can only think that he is "sleepy".
If it is really under mental hypnosis that he fell asleep, then the reason is not something that Kevin can understand. Sain is the son of the general, and as the former head of the Knights of the Flame, President Brett must have special considerations, and may also involve factional issues. As for why Kevin was given a chance, maybe it was the meaning of wooing, maybe it was the meaning of division, maybe it was some other ulterior plan.
But Kevin still calmly took it, not wanting to think about the intrigues of the higher-ups. If you say that you are big, you will serve the country, and if you are small, you will learn something, and you can learn it after all, you still have to grasp it yourself, and what you sign is just a confidentiality agreement, not that you have sold yourself.
In the time that followed, President Bright was another burst of nonsense, and all he said was official rhetoric. The main meaning is that civilian technology should be developed first, and military technology should be left behind, and so on. However, combined with the meaning of the textbook given to them by Bright, it is more hoped that they can learn on their own and then develop their own skills.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the meeting finally ended. Sain remembered that the application form in his hand had not yet been handed in, and seeing that the meeting was over, he had to hand it in a little nervously. Bright just nodded and casually put the application form in a drawer.
Sain plucked up the courage to ask again, "This is my friend, can he pass?"
Bright glanced at him in slight surprise: "Look at the situation research." ”
"Oh, thank you, President. Sain nodded, and hurried away.
And Kevin casually greeted the 213 regiment commander: "Captain, long time no see." Remember me?"
"Of course I do. Commander 213 also smiled and nodded. After a while of greetings between the two, Kevin immediately proposed to live with the head of 213 tonight temporarily, I don't know if it is feasible? It stands to reason that when the head of their group travels, the accommodation and the like must be arranged in advance, and I don't know if I can add two more people now.
The regimental commander readily agreed, and beckoned Sain to go with them. When they went out, everyone sat directly into the regiment commander's carriage. In the carriage, everyone was not idle, they were all studying catapults, and it was natural to talk about the development direction of catapults in the future.
In this regard, Kevin and the commander of the 213 regiment have some differences. The head of the regiment believed: "To membrane catapults, we must first understand the positioning of catapults. The positioning of the catapult is long-range and powerful, but its mobility, protection, and even accuracy are weaknesses. If you want to add a film, you should play its main function, increase its range, and increase its power. Its mobility can be dragged by other legions, and its protection can also be given to other classes for protection, and its accuracy can be completely compensated for by numbers. ”
"Imagine a row of hundreds or thousands of catapults, smashing through them one after another. All the smashed were magic bullets, and all kinds of explosions were blown up. The ground is washed directly, and the effect is comparable to that of a giant staff, and the accuracy becomes secondary. "213 Regiment Commander gestured.
Kevin nodded, agreeing with the other party's point of view first: "It's really gratifying to have this power, and it's theoretically possible." But if you can kill the opponent's generals accurately, then you can win without a fight. My catapult guided by a parrot has been successful many times. ”
Commander 213 taught Kevin: "You must understand the difference between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. I'm not saying precision isn't important, but precision is clearly not the most important thing. In fact, it is difficult to compare the accuracy of parabolic throwing to shooting in a straight line. Catapults play accurately, it is better to give accuracy to the crossbow. ”
"But the crossbow is still a little closer," Kevin retorted, "and if there's an obstacle in between, it's more troublesome." And if in the case of invisibility, the Parrot guidance has an irreplaceable effect. ”
"But the parrot probably won't come back. The 213 regiment commander replied.
Kevin was silent.
The commander of the 213th regiment also revised his own argument: "In fact, people die in every battle, not that parrots can't use this tactic because they die. But the key issue is that we need films that are fast, easy to admit, and produce results. It's not easy to train parrots, isn't it? And if we can film the catapults that we are already using, the combat effectiveness will be even greater in a short period of time. ”
Kevin proposed: "Actually, I thought about carving a summoning circle on the catapult, that is, when the parrot grabbed the stone projectile and was about to hit the target, the parrot was summoned back through the summoning circle on the car. In this way, parrot casualties can be avoided in large numbers. ”
Commander 213 thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Nice proposal." Actually, there is no conflict of ideas, you are just trying to build a high-quality catapult, and you will not hesitate to spend a lot of money for it. And what I'm going to think about is the overall improvement of all the armies, and that has to take into account the economic situation. This is the main divergence between our two ideas. ”
Kevin nodded, "You're right. But even then, the two of us were able to work together. ”
Subsequently, the two discussed the technical parameters and combat methods of the catapult, and they did not stop all the way. In fact, Kevin also has to learn from the head of 213 in this regard, others are people who have been playing catapults for decades, and Kevin knows some theories just by reading books. And Sain couldn't even insert a word, desperately trying to pretend to understand, but he kept being surprised in his heart: "What are they talking about?"
Moments later, the car arrived, and Kevin still felt unfinished. But after all, it was already late at night, and the regimental commander's escort took them to their rooms, where they washed and slept.
When he woke up the next morning, Kevin found that the commander of the 213 regiment had left, and very politely paid for their travel expenses.
When I went to the Membrane Law Guild again, I saw that it was already full of people, and the doorman said that Kevin and Sain could still enter. But Kevin felt that it was unnecessary to go in again, and at the same time, he was more apprehensive with this magic array book. So the two of them immediately turned back in the car, and when they returned to the Thunder Knights, it was already past 9 o'clock in the night. After the expansion of Shirez City, it was really much bigger, and it took at least three to five hours to reach the teleportation array in the main city by carriage.
Since it was already night when he returned, all but the sentries had already slept, so it was inconvenient to disturb the general again. Anyway, it's not an important matter, and the debriefing will be left for tomorrow. The two of them returned to their rooms, and they didn't light the lights, so they touched their beds in the dark.
Kevin's book has been kicked in his arms, and because he signed a non-disclosure agreement, he is also worried that he will be discovered by Sain, and he can't explain where it came from, so he has never dared to take it out and read it. At this point, when he finally returned to his own turf, Kevin began to feel a little impatient.
In the middle of the night, Kevin calmly went out with a book in his arms, holding an oil lamp, and then walked all the way to the toilet. The army toilets are relatively simple, just pits, but they are cleaned clean, and the smell is not too strong. Kevin lit the oil lamp and stood in the corner reading a book.
The book "First Acquaintance with the Magic Array" is not a high-tech reading, and the magic array technology is also very rudimentary, but even so, almost the entire continent has blocked these technologies from ordinary civilians. Sometimes, no matter how much the bard reads, these things can only be guessed by himself.
The basics of the array, one of them: spar. The spar is the key to the activation of all magic arrays, and without the spars, then only the mage himself can act as the "spars". However, mages acting as "hedrons" are not usually the mainstream practice, strictly speaking, like a broken bowstring, but I can still throw arrows out to kill people to prove that bowstrings are not very important to arrows. A formation without hedron is more like a mage's show-off, or just a play on words.
Spar is one of the most valuable resources in the continent at present, although there are also very inferior spars, but on average they are more valuable than gold, and some spars are even priceless. The way to obtain the hedron is either in the body of a high-level demonic beast, or there is only a vein of the magic crystal. High-level magical beasts are scarce, and they are difficult to raise, and they are constantly obtainable. The magic crystal vein is said to be the magic condensation crystallization scattered during the war between gods and demons in ancient times, and it is not known whether it is true or not. However, one thing is certain, and it is no longer rare for wars to break out on the mainland in order to compete for mineral veins.
Second, the six-star mang. The basic formation diagram of all magic arrays is evolved from the six-star mang, which can be said to be the framework or the foundation. Usually, when painting a magic array, you need to draw six stars first, and then change them. It's like drawing a picture before drawing an outline, of course, a few people who are particularly skilled can ignore it.
And after having these two foundations, you can do some rudimentary magic array diagram trial drawings. Kevin read the book quickly, and he was halfway through it in a moment, and his fingers subconsciously gestured.
Suddenly, footsteps rang out. Kevin was startled, subconsciously blew out the oil lamp, and then immediately took off his pants, squatted on the pit, and kicked the book in his arms again.
Sure enough, a sentry came in: "I just saw a light here, someone?"
Kevin had to speak, "It's me." The lights just went out. ”
"Oh," the sentry nodded, and then began to offer courtesy, "Then I'll help you get it, sir." ”
"No, I'm done. Kevin put on a pretense, then put on his pants and turned to leave. I secretly thought that the army was full of sentinels, and it was really not easy to peek at books. Is it reading a book in the quilt? The oil lamp is easy to light the quilt.
Suddenly, Kevin remembered that he still had a garage, and he would have one of himself when the door in the garage was locked, what else could he be afraid of?
Immediately came to the door of the warehouse, but found that the door had been locked inside, and through the crack in the door, I faintly saw that there was a bright light inside. Kevin was stunned, and immediately knocked on the door: "Who is inside?
The lights inside instantly went dark, and there was silence.
Kevin knocked on the door again: "Are you afraid I don't know who you are?"
Finally, the door creaked open. The three recruits came out of the door tremblingly, their heads bowed.
Kevin glanced at their state, and immediately reached forward and pulled out three books from their chests, and when they looked at the titles, they were all indescribable filth.
The recruit was shocked: "Sir, how did you know what we were hiding in our arms?"
"Nonsense!" Kevin threw the book in their faces, "How could I not know?" )
