Chapter 1017: Master and Apprentice (I)

The Devil Turtle Car was a proud work of Dip's wit, so he was also very concerned, so he asked, "Teacher, how are you doing?"

Alexander took a few sketches from the table and introduced them to Dipp: "Look at this one, I will name it the Mammoth Chariot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info is large, armed with a magic crystal cannon and four coulee magic guns, and can also carry up to eight warriors to operate the chariot and these weapons. This vehicle is heavier, but its mobility is not bad at all. The walls of the chariot are engraved with defensive arrays, floating arrays, and wheel rotation arrays, which can be ......"

"And this kind of small one, I call it a wolf chariot. Armed with one cannon fired with gunpowder and two small cannons, the crew was six people. It can be driven by four horses, or it can be rotated by wheels, but not very fast. The defense of the car wall mainly relies on these iron plates, of course, there is room for the simple wooden plank defense array inlaid with you, which is quite convenient to disassemble and assemble......"

"The long-range attack power of the Mammoth Chariot is comparable to that of the strong ninth level, and the defense power can also reach the eighth or ninth level. The maximum movement speed is faster than that of the Fire Cloud Horse. The Wolf Chariot's offensive defense can reach the intermediate level, and its movement speed is faster than that of ordinary humans running at full speed. However, compared to magic golems, melee combat is basically abandoned, so be sure to have soldiers around to protect you. ”

"My assumption is that the mammoth chariot is mainly used for storming, and the wolf chariot is used for the protection of transport convoys. In the event of an enemy attack, the wolf chariot can form a circle to form a chariot formation, quickly forming a powerful defensive wall. Although it is not as good as a magic golem, it can be used in many minor places, and as a replacement, it is already very good. ”

Listening to Alexander's introduction, Dip also had his own ideas. Alexander wasn't very familiar with the battlefield environment, so his train of thought was still at the level of alchemist skirmishes. And Dipu had already experienced several major battles, so he knew in his heart that the role of hand-to-hand combat was not that great. And what the troops lack most is precisely long-range firepower, long-range firepower that can quickly maneuver. What if such mammoth chariots and wolf chariots could be mixed together and then integrated into a force that would cooperate in protection and combat? At least Dip himself was very optimistic.

But there is no need to argue with Alexander for the time being. This teacher of mine is a technical nerd, and he believes that seeing is believing. So is it possible to build such a force? Experiment with it yourself?

Then Tipp asked, "Teacher, last time I forwarded this information to the Empire, the Holy See, and the Kingdom. The kingdom is under-resourced and may be powerless. So did the Reich and the Holy See start producing the two types of chariots you mentioned?"

Alexander smiled and shook his head: "Both the empire and the Holy See have all discussed it, and the result is no. The main reason is that the cost of a mammoth chariot is too high, and it can reach one-third of the cost of the same magic golem. Moreover, the shortcomings of melee combat are too obvious, and there are not enough alchemists, so they are all producing magic weapons such as magic golems and magic crystal cannons, and there is little interest in this kind of chariot. The copper and iron resources of the wolf chariot are also very tight, and they are all used in the manufacture of weapons. In particular, there is no magic array, which makes those laymen doubt its combat power. And the cost is also higher than that of ordinary weapons. So I'm studying these for nothing more than interest. If you're interested, you can build a few of them yourself, and then you can work on them together. ”

"Then I'm not welcome, student. Dipp grinned and put the sketches away. He then asked, "I'm also contributing to humanity." Teacher, can the Reich and the Holy See give some subsidies in terms of materials and funds for the study of such a chariot?"

"Hehehe!" Alexander was happy, "you have a god ruin, and you will be a rich man on the continent in the future, will you still lack money?" I was about to say to you, let you sponsor my poor teacher. ”

"I'm in debt. Although he understood that Alexander was joking, and that he would never be short of money as a holy magician, Dipu still complained, "Now I feel like I've become a piece of fat, and everyone is ready to come over and take a few bites." Then, Di Pu gave a brief introduction to his black eye collar and the situation of the family in the Forbidden Demon God Ruins.

Alexander listened with great interest. He is not worried about the huge arrears. Not to mention anything else, I haven't heard of a magician or alchemist bankrupt on the mainland. Not to mention, Dip also owns a sacred ruin. Alexander was not interested in this, so he asked, "You said that the clan in the ruins of the gods is short of supplies." That's just right, you can expand the Magic Mechanic Workshop and sell them the product. I happen to have invented a few new magic machines here, so you can take them too! Now the scale of your side is too small, and it needs to be expanded by at least ten times. ”

"Teacher, I can't sell it even if I produce it? My black-eyed collar plus Mangyuan is at most five or six million, plus the family, Grenwell City, and Sequoia collar is less than ten million, who will I sell it to when the time comes?"

"Stupid. Can't you sell cloth to orcs and elves? These materials are not strictly controlled, and besides, it's the time of the Alliance, and no one will do much. And you're a magician, not a businessman. Making money is secondary, the key is to promote magic machines. ”

Alexander was also a little anxious, because the current promotion of magic machinery was not very smooth. First, the cost is too high, because of the limited production of magic bricks, the price has not been completely reduced. Second, a group of vested interests are also unwilling to promote this new industry. The main factor is that the original magic cores, magic crystals, and magic bricks can be used almost as currency, so many people are collecting a lot of them. And now, the price of magic bricks has dropped significantly, causing the magic crystal and magic core to also depreciate slightly. So these people joined forces, intentionally or unintentionally, to resist the promotion and development of this industry. This is one of the reasons why the Empire has limited the production of Magic Bricks and the Production of the Magic Filling Workshop.

And Dipu didn't have such troubles. Since he himself owns the production workshop of magic bricks, the cost is very low. Even at the price of 20 gold coins per magic brick, the cost of the products produced by his magic machinery workshop is almost equal to that of an ordinary workshop. It's nothing more than that the Black-Eyed Collar is located in the westernmost part of the human race, and the transportation is very inconvenient, and if you add the transportation cost, it is not very competitive in the human area. But if it is transported to the Dependents, Beamon or Elves, then there is an advantage in transportation costs. (To be continued.) )
