Chapter 252 Melting Sword and Patrol

At first, Gawain chose to ask Byron for a weapon improvement plan, because he took a fancy to the middle-aged knight's mercenary experience in his early years.

Unlike noble knights or mages who have been promoted through orthodoxy, mercenaries usually do not have such perfect training conditions and good inheritance norms, but they have their own set of methods to make up for their shortcomings - rich combat experience and adaptability. It is their reliance on licking blood on the tip of the knife. A mercenary must understand various combat environments, be familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of various weapons, and clearly know how to solve crises in various environments. To survive for a long time - Byron fully satisfied this.

Knight Philip is indeed a powerful and talented knight, but his knowledge is too dogmatic and old-fashioned. In the face of Cecil's armament and new fighting concepts that are rapidly changing, he can ensure that he can keep up and not fall behind. , and asking him to make a breakthrough idea on the basis of traditional weapons and equipment, I am afraid it is more difficult than forcing Amber to go through the door...

Knight Byron summed up the characteristics of the current Cecil combat soldiers, and found the improvement route for the melee equipment that the soldiers needed, and both of these plans were quite attractive in Gawain's view.

"The mechanical sword scheme is inspired by the more and more widely used magic energy engines in the current territory," Knight Byron began to explain his thoughts, "Those engines are so powerful that even a professional knight in plate armor is turned by the machine. A single hit will kill or be disabled, so some rune craftsmen consider using the power of the machine on the sword-they consider installing a small repulsion mechanism in the hilt, and use the repulsion mechanism to vibrate the blade or drive the sawtooth. structure, so that the armor of the enemy can be easily torn apart.

"The fusion sword plan abandoned the mechanical structure and continued to find a way from the effect of 'enchantment'. A rune craftsman proposed to add a flame rune array to the sword and use magic capacitors to supply energy. These Runes can make the blade reach a very high temperature - we can use very high temperature resistant purple steel to forge the blade. The steel heated with fire runes is no longer a magic effect, and the enemy's magic resistance It is useless, and the extremely high temperature purple steel blade can easily destroy most of the conventional metal armor in the world, or cause great damage to the more sophisticated magic robes and mage shields. The damage to lightly armored enemies is even more deadly.

"Of course, compared to the mechanically driven sawtooth, the destruction efficiency of the high-heat blade may be slightly lower, and it is also the same when it comes to the local tyrant enemies whose armor is covered with mithril and adamantium-then again, if it is true When it comes to armor made of mithril and fine gold, the mechanical sword is also useless..."

In Gawain's mind, chainsaw swords and plasma blades were already flying everywhere...

It took a lot of effort for him to press back the fancy things that were jumping around in his mind. At the same time, his face maintained the majesty of the ancestor who opened the coffin. After thinking about these two plans, he rejected one of them: "Mechanical Swords don't work."

"Uh... We haven't discussed the results yet..." Byron was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Gawain would directly reject the most promising of the two extremely valuable plans, "Why do you think A mechanical sword is not feasible?"

"The mechanical structure is too complex, the stability is poor, the maintenance is difficult, the cost is high, and it is not easy to mass-produce, and the current repulsion mechanism still has relatively large mechanical vibration, which will affect the use of soldiers," Gao Wen shook his head and said, "Forget it. I reminded you at the beginning: only weapons that can be mass-produced are good weapons, and this sentence has to be added: equipment that can withstand harsh environments is good equipment. Unfortunately, mechanical swords are in these two points. Not satisfied... At least our technology is not satisfied at this stage.

"Swords are designed to collide with the opponent's weapon or armor frequently, and in consecutive collisions, the gears and linkages in the hilt are prone to problems, and besides - the movable tooth structure means more fragile, More wear and tear, even if we mass-produce this at no cost,

It will crumble its teeth when it is sawed a few times on the battlefield, what practicality is there at all. "

Byron was stunned for a moment, and finally realized the huge problem here: "Yes! I didn't expect..."

However, Gawain didn't think it was Byron's problem-he was experienced, it was true, but when a new magic energy industry technology was mixed in, his judgment would inevitably go wrong-he only Seeing that the power of the magic engine is infinite, how do you know how the precise parts in the machine work?

To be honest, Gawain also regretted the plan to reject the mechanical sword—a chainsaw sword with a steel-toothed revolving engine was a man’s romance, but the current industrial foundation really couldn’t do this, so he really created a man’s romance. On the battlefield, I am afraid that the waves will be turned upside down...

However, compared to the mechanical swords with obvious shortcomings, the concept of melting and cutting swords is very feasible.

It is not uncommon to use runes to heat things. The reaction kettles in the alchemy factory are now heated with fire runes, but ordinary fire rune heating devices can only produce a high temperature of several hundred degrees, which is far from smelting. The level of metal, but Rebecca has been improving the magic circle of fire recently - she is trying to use the common trap-like method of "Hot Land"

The formation is simplified into a general rune group, and the simplified rune group is used in the steel mill to change the status quo of still burning wood and charcoal in the forge. It is said that it has been close to success.

Presumably, the rune craftsmen only thought of using fire runes to make high-heat blades after learning the news.

"Think about melting and cutting swords, this is a good way," Gawain handed the blueprint back to Byron, watched the other party put away the blueprint, and suddenly asked again, "By the way, I see the tentative weapons in the plan. The category is a one-handed sword?"

"Oh yes, one-handed sword," Byron nodded as he rolled up the blueprint, "Now the soldiers have installed force field shields in their magic terminals, which means that they have a shield available on the battlefield at any time. So the stance of one-handed sword and one-handed shield is the most useful in melee combat. Philip Knight has recently started training in this area."

Beside him was watching Gawain and Byron studying the blueprints curiously. Knight Philip, who had not said a word for a long time, finally broke his silence and nodded: "I am letting soldiers use force field shields and ordinary one-handed swords for combat training— The force field shield has no weight and does not affect the line of sight like a normal shield, so the content of combat training must be reconsidered."

After hearing this, Gawain nodded with satisfaction—once again, the outsiders took the initiative to reveal the characteristics of the new technology, and it seemed that many things really didn't need him to worry too much...

At the same time, in the dark mountains on the southeast side of the territory, a team of fully armed Cecil combat soldiers were patrolling the mountain road.

Under normal circumstances, there are no patrol personnel in the depths of the Dark Mountains. On the one hand, there are not enough manpower. On the other hand, it is very difficult to patrol the wild and primitive mountain forests, and it is difficult to arrange posts. In the direction of Duo Wasteland, to prevent the aberrations from attacking the territory again, Gawain did not arrange more patrols in the mountains.

But recently, there have been several more patrol routes in the mountains.

This is because Hom rough has already been mined.

With the help of Rebecca Crystal, even the winter will not affect the construction progress of the new mine. The area where the Hom rough stone is now has become an open-pit mining field. A large number of miners and soldiers were sent to the newly opened open-pit mining field. They built a stronghold around the mining field. In order to prevent the wild beasts and monsters in the mountains from threatening the mining field, several new patrol routes were added around the mining field. .

It is a very hard job to patrol the dark mountains on this cold and freezing day, but the soldiers are still walking on their own routes conscientiously. Military magic guide terminal, full attention on the patrol road, no slack.

This is not only because the "soldier ethics" that Gawain has been promoting has been deeply instilled in their minds, but also because the recruits of the Combat Corps are all selected from civilians, and even after enlisting in the army, they will continue to work as a construction corps. The out-of-work territorial construction, coupled with the various house building and land division laws that Gawain has been promoting, Cecil's soldiers have taken the protection of the territory and the protection of civilians as a matter of course from the very beginning.

They built the territory with their own hands, they exchanged their labor and military merit for their own houses and land, their relatives and friends are all laborers in farmland, mines and factories, whether it is their own interests, or their relatives, friends, The security of the homeland and land is completely bound to whether they can perform their duties, which is completely different from other noble private soldiers.

The patrol captain walked at the front of the team, alertly paying attention to the movements on both sides of the mountain road. The mountain wind was blowing constantly in the cold winter, but the cold would not affect his actions-the armor produced in the military factory had perfect Protection magic, breeze shield and heat insulation runes can help him resist the cold wind in this mountain, and the secondary clearing art solidified in the helmet can keep his mind sharp and concentrated during long continuous patrols.

As a veteran who survived from the old Cecil territory, he felt 120,000 satisfaction and peace of mind with his current equipment.

"Everyone is awake, prepare the force field shield," the captain turned back and reminded the soldiers behind him, "Be careful not to be attacked by monsters!"

Patrols in the dark mountains must always be careful. After the force field shield is equipped, the soldiers regard "keeping the force field shield on standby at any time" as a basic rule, because there are always some monsters in the mountain who are not afraid of people and even have simple wisdom. Throwing out to attack people, if the response is not timely, there will be danger - a few days ago, some unlucky people were attacked and injured by poisonous monsters because they forgot to open their shields. If it wasn't for Cecil's potion, it would be worthless. If you carry several bottles of alchemy potions with you, that unfortunate one would have died long ago.

The soldiers under his command are all good soldiers, but the captain, who is a veteran, still can't help reminding them.

Just as the soldiers responded, the patrol captain suddenly had a hint of vigilance in his heart.

There's... danger around here.
