Chapter 304: Firearms Advanced
Half a day was like a bit of a fool's dream after visiting Durmstrang, and on the first afternoon of his report at the school, Harry went to see the alchemy lab that Grindelwald had given him, and went to the library to have a look.
The huge library, which occupies floors 11-29 of the Central Tower, is richer than Hogwarts' collection, but this is not Durmstrang's original heritage, but Grindelwald's continuous collection for more than ten years, which can be called all-inclusive, and there are still more than 300 school workers responsible for the library collection of more detailed collections, so that people can find the reference books he needs as quickly as possible when they consult them.
What is Major? That's professionalism!
All the details of the school were making it clear to Harry, telling him what a proper institution of higher learning was, that the previous education methods were outdated, and that reform was not just talking, but that it needed to be changed from head to toe.
International students are different from freshmen, freshmen need to undergo a three-week militarized training, this group of children at most twelve or thirteen years old are all ignorant newcomers like blank paper, and the centralized military training is to leave traces of Durmstrang on them, for international students who only study abroad here for two or three years, Durmstrang is not strict with them, and the next whole month is a buffer period for them to familiarize themselves with the school environment and curriculum, compared to others who are curious to try different subjects, Harry's goal was clear.
Potions class was mandatory, but Snape didn't require him to learn his best skills in curses, poisons, and war potions at the same time, Harry only needed to report war potions, two classes a week, and by the way, Snape gave Snape a hand, and drank a large glass of special potions that Snape fine-tuned according to Harry's current physical condition.
Elsewhere in the schedule, Harry checked off the combat subjects he was most interested in and looked forward to, as well as the latest batch of advanced firearms courses included in the elective curriculum, a new series of courses launched by Durmstrang and Dorez of Kodos to focus on the research and development of new forms of firearms.
At the duel match a few months ago, Big Ivan told Harry that the Soviet wizards had come up with a new form of cannonball, and the change in caliber brought not only the increase in the power of single-shot spells, but also had a decisive impact on compound spells, and in turn, Durmstrang also contributed almost the same credit to this technology, and their research breakthrough was the carrier of the spell.
"It's great to see so many people coming over to my Advanced Firearms class, and I'm one of the instructors in charge of this course, Nolen Scicotti."
Standing at the head of the huge staircase professor is a young scholar with white skin and beautiful skin, with naturally curly blonde hair, but to be able to stand on this podium, her age is not a matter of concern, with two gold-edged badges on her chest, she was awarded the qualification of a first-order senior professor by Durmstrang, this thing is one of the most unquestionable credentials in Durmstrang, and the number of people who can get this badge is less than a thousand, and Durmstrang's researcher, The total number of teachers is approaching 30,000.
"It's a new research subject that's only been in research for six years, but thanks to the collaboration of Kordos Dorez and Durmstrang, the project has progressed quickly and is now fully operational and included in both teaching projects."
The young female professor who was talking in a classroom of 1,000 people did not have the slightest stage fright, even if there were two rows of colleagues sitting in the front who were also teaching researchers at the same school as her, she was not nervous, and after a brief opening, she immediately got to the point.
"Nowadays, there are seven types of advanced forms of firearms wands: miniature submachine guns, shotguns, rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, precision marksman rifles and hand-held launchers.
"In this study, we have additionally expanded the types of firearms according to the needs of the war, and this is the case with the research direction of the Institute of Magic and Magic in Dorez Kordos, on the basis of firearms, they extended the concept of artillery equipment."
"That's it."
Scotti raised her right hand, her slender arm as delicate as a mutton fat jade, but at the moment when she clenched her fist, the slender lines of slender muscles full of explosive power appeared on her arm, and then the thick armor covered her arm, and the twenty-three-millimeter barrel extending from the front of the fist shone with silver brilliance.
"Codenamed [Zu-23-2] caliber 23 mm, twin shots, in a single spell, it has a maximum increase of 40 times more than a heavy sniper rifle, and has a high rate of fire, after sacrificing mobility and increasing the cost of additional mana, it is one of the most suitable wizard guns for positional defense warfare today."
"If a wizard with a cannon can withstand an additional weight gain of more than one hundred and fifty kilograms, then the light cannon can be used in the same way as a firearm, while the heavy cannon can carry more than three hundred kilograms, which is a heavy and super-heavy advanced specially designed for the Soviet wizard's physique."
"For wizards who don't have special physical strengthening, the research on expanding firearms focuses on model improvements for seven categories, that is, iterative upgrades of firearms."
After putting away the bulky cannon suit, Scotti tapped the lectern, causing the distractions of the cannon to look at her once more.
"The improvement of this part is not as obvious as the cannon equipment, the types of firearms under the seven categories are rich enough, as far as the current statistics are concerned, the total number of different firearms under the seven categories has exceeded more than 8,000 kinds, and the addition of the simple number does not have much significance for expansion, but the modification and upgrading based on the original firearms can bring an obvious increase in strength."
"Unless you choose the advanced form of artillery equipment with fundamental changes, simply changing the form of the firearm that the wizard himself changes will weaken the strength of the wizard, and every advanced form of the spellcasting medium is the most suitable for the targeted change of each wizard's spell-casting habits, and the change is not necessarily a good thing."
"For this reason, the solution we chose was how to carry out a more personal custom upgrade of firearms, that is, the research and development of firearm accessories."
"Actually, this has been done by wizards for a long time, but without expansion and research, magazines and magazines were born to fit spell sets, which is the first custom upgrade of our firearms, and it is also the earliest gun accessory."
"And now we can do a lot more for it than we ever did."
