Chapter 2 Electric Light (500 votes plus change)
A month passed quickly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
During the month, Jack attended Luke's funeral and traveled to Sunset City to attend Rorschach's funeral.
Rorschach's funeral was even colder than Luke's, and although Jack had grown disdain for the profession of the Night's Watchman, deep down in his struggles, he had a vague decision.
At the same time, during this period of time, the Shepherd Company, a joint venture between the Scarlet family and the Heller family, was also officially registered in the Western Continent United Chamber of Commerce, and relying on Hugo's relationship, the patent of the firearm was successfully applied for patent protection in the Arcane Council. Eventually, the Shepherds bought a large amount of vacant land northeast of Ash City, and were about to build an assembly line factory as Jack wanted.
For the next three months, Jack was busy building the factory.
After some discussions with many magicians and craftsmen invited by Jack and Hugo, it was finally decided to produce guns in an industrial way, and he first used the materials that already existed in the Star to have the craftsmen build an ironworks. Of course, because of the existence of magic, Jack didn't have to think about any pollution, he directly built a large electrolytic cell powered by magic crystals, and heated by magic to reduce iron oxide with hydrogen, the reduced molten iron will be discharged from the molten iron mouth, and the insoluble and irreducible impurities will fall under the ironmaking furnace. These impurities are further processed to decompose some of the available metals contained in them.
In fact, at first, Jack wanted to build an aluminum smelter together, but apparently they didn't have enough money, although the iron was a little heavier, not as good as aluminum, but as long as part of the gun's structure was replaced with wood, the final product would not be heavy at all for the Otherworlders.
On the other side of the ironworks is the shepherd's real arsenal.
Among them, five machine tools designed and reconstructed by Jack and powered by magic crystals were moved in early, and Jack replaced most of the electronic components needed for real machine tools with magic - he borrowed from the latest version of the machine tool without human control, fully mechanized characteristics, and weakened the intelligence required by machine tools, so that these five machine tools can complete fixed ground operations in an assembly line without human control, and not all, it still requires skilled workers to control the magic release time of the magic crystal and the position of the side knife.
In the end, the effect of these five machines is enough to produce enough parts to make 300 rifles per day.
The remaining about 20,000 gold was taken by Jack to invite about 20 three-ring mages, most of them have no hope of advancing in their lives, and the specialized school is very obscure, so they turned into enchanters, these can be regarded as skilled enchanters (although there are no masters), but they can definitely complete the daily task well - each person carves 15 [hot pressing (three rings)] magic circles.
In the past three months, perhaps with a firmer will, with the help of [Star] and his continuous efforts to meditate, Jack finally accumulated enough mental strength and entered the second ring.
The two two-ring spells he solidified were the [Electric Light (Second Ring)] of the Plastic Energy School and the [Body Enhancement (Second Ring)" of the Transfiguration School.
[Body Enhancement (2nd Ring)] is the basic magic of the Transfiguration School, basically every melee mage uses it very smoothly, the effect is not fixed, as the amount of mana input increases, he can produce up to five times the effect of physical fitness - of course, there is a diminishing marginal utility, the more mana, the worse the effect caused by the unit mana. Jack plans to use this spell to increase his physical strength.
In the eyes of the modern school of plastic energy, electric spells are an extension of fire spells, so most of the electric spells are spells with more than six rings, and there is an extreme lack of low-level spells, which also leads to people in this world constantly misunderstanding electric spells, and research often falls into misunderstandings, they have always felt that electricity is the advanced energy of fire, which is a higher-end form of expression, but it is difficult to understand electricity itself microscopically.
Of course, as far as Jack is concerned, he doesn't really understand the electricity of this world, because he is not sure if there will be a world error in this - after all, the magic is out, right?
The reason why Jack solidified this spell was because he intended to make an electromagnetic cannon - yes, it was the electromagnetic cannon that the cannon sister became famous for and later existed, but was almost abandoned because of its size.
Later, Yue Qing's predecessor, a genius inventor, successfully miniaturized the electromagnetic cannon, and since then the electromagnetic cannon has become the most terrible individual weapon on the battlefield. In 2090, the latest version of the Super Electromagnetic Cannon allowed their shells to reach an initial velocity of 3,000 meters per second, which is about nine times the speed of sound, and it was a terrifying weapon to stop and kill gods.
And now, Jack intends to create such a terrifying and charming weapon in this innocent and simple world - to do it with magic.
When the time comes, he will be able to hold the extra-long super electromagnetic cannon and shoot through the enemy's head from a distance, while the enemy is still wondering what the hell is going on - think about it, this power is actually about the same as time to stop!
Although the fantasy world is very beautiful, Jack is actually just getting started, as mentioned earlier, he doesn't even know what electricity in this world is, so he followed the advice in the book to solidify this electric spell in his heart, wanting to experience the changes caused by the runes in a more subtle way in the process of meditation.
In the afternoon, the sun shines in the practice room.
Jack stood quietly in the center of the practice room, he closed his eyes and entered a shallow meditation state, and his magic poured into the [Electric Light (Second Ring)] located in the spiritual sea.
In the next moment, he opened his eyes with a crackling sound, just in time to catch the tail of the electric spark.
Silence enveloped the already quiet practice room.
"It's okay, failure is the mother of success, let's try again!"
Close your eyes again.
"Crackle!"
“......”
"Crackle!"
"Crackle!"
Jack had a cold face and opened his eyes to see the release effect of [Electric Light].
In his hand, a pale blue arc of lightning suddenly burst out, tearing at the air like a spirit snake, and then disappeared in the next instant.
Unable to bear the feeling of complaining in patience, Jack made a standard move and shouted:
"You're so fast, why don't you go to heaven?"
[Electrolight] as a two-ring spell, he has the advantages of fast mana introduction, fast casting speed, etc., because [Electrolight] itself does not have the common plastic energy switch rune of plastic energy spells, so his energy will be released at the moment of gathering, which is very reasonable, but it is too unfriendly to Jack.
After thinking about it, Jack gave up the subjective practice of relying on meditative perception to understand electricity.
He decisively sacrificed the physics of his previous life.
When we doubt the mind, we start with the eyes.
