Once you start to visit around, it's completely uncontrollable. It's a rare opportunity, and Kevin won't miss it. In the end, this is actually an expanded version of "I want to ask", once Kevin could only ask his recruit commander at the beginning, then ask other recruit commanders, and then ask other recruit commanders, and then other officers in the legion also asked, and now he has begun to run around the country, going to various important departments to investigate and ask.

The drawings drawn by Kevin were also handed over to craftsmen for imitation, and even the crossbow was a purely physical and mechanical structure, as long as there were drawings, it was probably not difficult. It's just that the material of the crossbow is unknown, but this problem is not big, and Kevin can try it with a normal crossbow first.

The drawings are handed over to the craftsman, some money is paid, and the visit continues. For the next week, Kevin spent the whole week running around with Sain, first to Langton City, where he visited the largest arrow factory in the country.

There are hardly any slaves to be seen here, and more than half of the work is made up of mages. The mages summoned low-level elemental golems and stood in rows, these elemental golems were originally used for combat, but at this time, they simplified and eliminated all the defense and attack power that they were originally used for battle, and only gave them two or three actions. This simplified elemental golem is undoubtedly more mana-saving, so the number of summons can be greater and easier.

The elemental puppets have a different division of labor, and the entire assembly line operation is divided into three major parts, one cutting wood, polishing and polishing to make arrow shafts, one striking iron to make arrowheads, and the last one to put the two together, and install tail feathers at the same time. The middle connection relies on the flow of water, and there are complex waterways throughout the plant, in which each element stands and works.

For example, if the arrow is built here, if you want to send it to the splicing arrowhead, it only needs to put the arrow on a palm-sized boat next to it, and push it casually, and the boat will automatically reach the splicing site along the waterway with the arrowhead, and the elemental puppet responsible for splicing only needs to take out the arrow and then push the boat back from another waterway. The waterways are all one-way streets, so there will be no collisions with boats.

And if it is an arrow shaft, it is more convenient, because the arrow shaft is wooden, it is originally floating, and it can be pushed directly by throwing it at the waterway. The whole process is methodical and requires little to no manpower to operate. After the mages summon the puppets, there is nothing to do, basically just look around and make no mistakes. Occasionally, the wood is moth-eaten and thrown away.

This is a real assembly line operation, and all that flows is water.

There are many kinds of arrows here, and the arrowheads are also different, some of which can be poured directly with abrasives, which are all low-end arrows. Some also have to be hammered repeatedly to make relatively high-end arrowheads. There is also no trace of artificiality here, and it is still all elemental golems at work.

Moreover, the forging hammer has been mechanized, and the power comes from a waterwheel outside the field, the waterwheel drives the hammer to smash continuously, and the elemental puppet automatically puts the workpiece on it for forging, and people only need to look at it on the side, and there is no mistake.

The entire factory is under the direct jurisdiction of the city lord, and it is also the most magically automated factory in the country. Kevin also expressed curiosity that waterwheels are not eternal, and there will be interruptions with seasonal rainfall, and there may be ice in winter. So what to do?

The mages just replied that we would work harder and summon more powerful puppets to strike iron. And if the waterways freeze, that's okay too. There are blades under the boat, and when you put them on it, you can skate faster.

Don't look at the common arrows, but they are also national key projects. From Orions to Mercenaries to Regular Army, arrows are indispensable, and the daily consumption of arrows is enormous. It can even be said to be one of the criteria for measuring a country's national strength, and the city lord attaches great importance to it.

This factory produces more than 10,000 arrows of various types per day, which are sold all over the country, and even began to be exported abroad, Kevin said that it was an eye-opener.

However, the working mages were still not satisfied, and the wood for the arrows was in high demand, and they were eager to develop a cheaper and strong enough shaft. At the same time, they felt that there were still too few mages engaged in work, and the city lord had already prioritized the transfer of mages in the city to produce in the arrow factory, but in this way, it also led to the fact that other weapons industries in the city were still at a relatively low-end level of hand-beating and hand-cutting.

If possible, I still hope to develop a magic array, ordinary people only need to hold the spar and embed it on the map, and the array will operate automatically, automatically summoning magic puppets and the like. In this way, the mage will be liberated, and the job opportunities will be directed to a wider range of ordinary people.

Kevin benefited a lot from the long day and didn't come back until the evening.

The next day, Kevin had planned to visit the Giant Staff Barracks, which was the country's highest-end weapon. But unexpectedly, Kevin inquired in many ways, but no one knew where the army of the giant staff was stationed, or someone knew and didn't tell Kevin.

Kevin was helpless, so he went to the border border and visited the border wall of Mo Siye City. It borders the country of Lebzier, and Kevin has been here a few times, but there are some core things that he couldn't touch before, and now he has brought the captain's son to visit further.

Of course, the border guard doesn't know Kevin anymore, and Kevin has no impression of the guards here, either because some veterans have been discharged from the army, or there are personnel transfers. I wanted to ask about the bunch of equipment I once dragged in, saying that there was a reward but there was no follow-up, but when I thought about it, so long had passed, so I forgot it.

The commander here introduced Kevin to an anti-air heavy machine crossbow weapon, aimed at the air with a large bow and crossbow, firing arrows as thick as spears, and the tail feathers were balanced by four triangular pieces. The arrows are engraved with a wind formation to greatly increase the range.

With a purely mechanical structure, it is difficult to pose a threat to high-altitude targets, and it is simply impossible to reach them, so it is also necessary to add a magic array to increase the range, which will inevitably increase the price of an arrow. But even so, this weapon can only reach high altitudes, and the hit rate is not ideal.

The speed at high altitude is fast, and the disguise is fast. If you really want to threaten the sky with arrows from the ground, this advance calculation will be very difficult, basically you can only rely on numerical superiority, a salvo, maybe you can try your luck to shoot one or two arrows. But the price of this round of shooting is worrying.

The price of the arrows is completely disproportionate to their value, putting this weapon in a very awkward position, but it cannot be without. In fact, it is extremely difficult to attack high altitudes from the ground. Generally speaking, the air is still dominated by one's own air combat units.

Kevin suggested that instead of using a parrot for guidance, let the parrot grab the arrow and shoot it together, and let the parrot track the target and adjust the direction.

The prefects of the city did not deny that there was such a plan, but they all said that it would only be used as a last resort. There are not enough parrots at the moment, mainly for communication. And with the arrows being fired, it is almost a suicide attack, and even if it hits, it will be difficult for the parrot to come back. Because it is generally difficult to say that a person is killed with an arrow, and the other party also has a counterattack before dying, and a parrot is really difficult to resist.

It is undoubtedly inappropriate to let the Signal Corps play suicide attacks, unless it is absolutely necessary, and Kevin also expressed his understanding. His crow is also used during military exercises, if it is a real battle, even if the commander is killed accurately, his guards will shoot arrows to counterattack, and most of the crows will not come back.

Of course, there is still a little difference between stone bullets and arrows, stone bullets are easier to smash to death and smash people, even if the arrow is as thick as a spear, passing through the chest, he can still backhand you before he dies. And Kevin's crow is also much stronger than the average parrot.

However, Kevin's idea is absolutely correct, using birds to guide and greatly improve the accuracy performance. It's just that it's not appropriate to use parrots, but you can train others, such as owls or something. Just looking at the goal doesn't require a lot of wisdom. It is still being studied.

The visit didn't end until the evening, and Kevin chatted very speculatively with several city defense chiefs, after all, catapults had many similarities with this one, and exchanged a lot of experience.

On the third day, Kevin went to see the Navy again. The navy of Lou Pauler was comparatively worse, as the king acknowledged in his speech. All Kevin saw was a few warships moored in the harbor.

It was still a wooden sailing ship, loaded with several crossbows and trebuchets, and it was still powered by sails and oars. And what Kevin once said about space jet engines and the like, the gap is literally a century. What is the state of foreign navies, Kevin doesn't know very well, but at least he knows that the Ryan Empire is all ironclad warships, and the level gap is not a little bit.

Naval officers said that once the navy goes to war, it mainly depends on personal strength. Rely on the personal strength of the mage warrior and rush directly to the opponent's ship to kill them.

Kevin bluntly said that if this continues, it will not be able to keep up with the times. But the officers could only spread their hands: "No money." ”

Indeed, this is a big problem. The construction of the navy is more expensive than that of the army, and if you want to build ironclad ships, you want to build some magic water flow engine, and the money is not half a little. Kevin spent so much money before he built a catapult, and the cost of a battleship is probably more than a hundred times more than a thousand times.

With regret, Kevin ended the day's visit. The country is still developing, and there must be a sequence of development, which is also a matter of no choice.

On the fourth day, I went to Wang Li College to see the latest research. In this regard, Sain's identity is not easy to use, but Kevin knows the vice principal and lets him go unhindered.

Passing by the laboratory, I saw several old mages arguing about some high-end magic theories, but unfortunately they were too advanced and even Kevin couldn't understand them. Helplessly, he continued to wander around, but found that the mechanical department was operating a strange machine.

The mechanical base is the same as the repeating crossbow, but the position of the horse's head is not a crossbow, but a combat knife. When you step on the pedal, the war knife will link, and then swing up and down frantically.

Surprised, Kevin walks over to identify himself and asks what it is.

The other side was happy to introduce the new weapon to the military people, and immediately said that it was called a "vindictive slashing machine". As the name suggests, riding this machine can continuously fire Dou Qi Slash, far exceeding the frequency of ordinary self-use of Dou Qi Slash.

The principle is this, the so-called Douqi Chop, that is, the Douqi is gathered on the knife, and the Douqi **** is taken out by swinging it rapidly, forming a Douqi Chop. So if I increase the speed of this swing several times through mechanical power and keep it going, will the Dou Qi Slash also be sent out continuously?

Kevin immediately said he was going to try again, and they were happy to do so. Riding on the wooden horse, slamming on the pedal, holding the handle of the war knife with both hands, exerting a fighting spirit, a fierce knife slashed out, and the fighting spirit slashed out.

Then the knife swung up and down frantically, and then it couldn't make a single fighting breath. The researchers were very strange and asked what was going on?

Kevin blushed a little: "I forgot, I can only send a knife in a short time." ”

The researcher did not laugh at Kevin, but instead began to discuss it seriously. They said that this kind of machinery is made for the officers and men at the grassroots level, and if the officers and men at the grassroots level cannot give full play to it, then whether there is still a need to manufacture it, or how to improve it, and so on.

Seeing their earnestness, Kevin expressed his admiration and was happy to wait for the results of their latest research.

On the fifth day, Kevin visited the Pegasus breeding base. Next to this is the Pegasus Knights, which is also an important place in the country.

Pegasi have a long breeding period, which is one of the reasons why it has been difficult to increase the number of Pegasus troops. In order to solve this problem, the research work here is also unremitting. In addition to normal Pegasus mating with purebreds, attempts are also made to have horses or donkeys experimentally crossed.

However, Pegasi have a haughty temperament and have no interest in horses and donkeys at all. To this end, the researchers came up with a solution, and today they painted a donkey white, equipped it with realistic wings, cut it with a handsome haircut, sealed its mouth to prevent it from barking, and used wind spells to forcibly send the donkey into the sky and fly in a circle to attract Pegasus.

As a result, a Pegasus was attracted to it and came to mate with it. The researchers all hid in the distance and peeked, looking expectant: "I hope to give birth to a sky mule." ”

Kevin watched the whole process from the sidelines and once again expressed his admiration for the professionalism of the researchers.

This visit not only increased Kevin's knowledge, but also benefited Sain a lot. In the process, Sain was at least able to visit and inspect with a more serious attitude, although he still said very little, but at least he had begun to think with his brain, rather than with an indifferent attitude. What Kevin taught him was not only knowledge, but also how to learn, and if he could continue to be in his current state in the future, he should also be an excellent officer.

And Sain's attitude towards Kevin has also changed. When a person really discovers that the person who has always been unpleasant to the eye before is so much better than himself, this feeling is complicated. This kind of strength does not refer to strength, but to the combination of wisdom, temperament, attitude, etc., which makes people speechless.

Over the weekend, the General called Sain over again to ask what he had been doing that week, and according to the janitor, he had been out with Kevin every day.

Sain also reported truthfully and affirmed Kevin's visit: "I feel like I learned more in this week than I have learned in the previous ten years. Even though I still don't feel comfortable watching Kevin, I have to admit that he is a bit of a level. ”

The general was slightly surprised, he knew that it was not easy for his son to say this. But at the same time, Sain learned what he is now, but it is different from his expectations: "I still have to remind you, those things like R&D technology, just understand a little bit." Personal strength is still the most important thing, you know?"

Sain was a little surprised, and the general's words seemed to be a little different from Kevin's dispensationalism. Kevin has been instilling in Sain all the time this week, and taking him around, which leads to Sain's belief now. At this time, the general's words made him a little dazed, but he didn't dare to refute it.

"What's wrong?" the general could see his face, "to tell you, no matter how advanced the equipment, it is still people who decide the outcome of the war." Weapons and equipment can change hands and be snatched, but personal strength is on the body. Isn't it ridiculous not to train your own things and get a lot of weapons and equipment?"

Sain was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

"Usually only some people who have difficulty in improving their strength have to study other things," the general sneered, "or those Sword Saint Grand Magus who have long passed their peak, idle and bored. If you are red and vindictive all your life, you will be a waste for the rest of your life. ”

Sain bowed his head and said nothing.

"Go, call Kevin, and I'll talk to him. The general's face was indifferent and he waved his hand. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
