Chapter 276 Shortcomings and Inspiration

In the eyes of many people, the Cecil Land exhibition is already a miracle - even the managers of Cecil Land will inevitably have such an idea. It is true that compared with most of the noble lands of the current era, Cecil Land has developed common sense in every aspect, whether it is the construction of the people's livelihood or the changes in military power, but Gawain has never been like this. think.

The imaginary enemy in Gawain's heart has never been those mediocre frontier nobles, or even those long-established forces in the royal capital. From the day he inherited the memory of Gawain Cecil, from the day he learned about the existence of the magic tide. Since then, his imaginary enemies are already beyond the power of human beings, and facing these enemies, the power in his hands is far from enough.

"Those monsters have intelligence," Hetty said after Gawain's voice fell. "Although their thinking ability does not seem to be very strong, they obviously have certain thinking ability-they can judge the form on the battlefield, and they can judge the throwing stone. They can even command 'armies' - if they were a little bit stronger, we wouldn't have won so easily."

Amber, who was sitting on the other side of Gawain, couldn't help but said, "I didn't find them intelligent when I was investigating."

"This shows that their intelligence is not sound, or their behavior patterns are different from those of humans," Gawain was not surprised by this, "Aberrations are creatures with clear goals, and this will not change, so in the event of Before attacking the target, even the aberrations with intelligence will not do extra things, which makes them appear to be no different from other monsters before they attack. However, after this incident, we can be regarded as a point of experience. ."

"In addition, we also exposed a problem in this battle," Gawain continued. "When dealing with those big guys, the attacking ability of ordinary soldiers is obviously not enough, and the catapult... The hit rate is too low."

In the second half of the battle, the three trolls crossed the middle of the battlefield, which was already within the range of the heat ray gun, but the searing ray, which was effective against ordinary aberrations, showed its firepower when facing those huge monsters. Shortcomings - it is difficult for them to penetrate the body of the enemy. Even if they penetrate, it is difficult to cause any damage to those monsters that look like small houses. The mutant monsters seem to have quickly figured out this. That's why they dared to swagger to stop in front of the city gate and gather their strength to prepare to attack - to be honest, if there was no big fireball of Rebecca's last level, the three large "distortion bodies" would If the black lightning is released, it may be very dangerous.

As for the crystal grenades as secondary weapons for individual soldiers...their power can pose a certain threat to trolls,

However, the lack of attack distance is one aspect, and the physical consumption of soldiers is another disadvantage. Moreover, the crystal grenade has a delayed explosion and slow flight speed. For monsters that already have a certain intelligence, the effect is really not optimistic.

Facts have proved that only the crystal bombs thrown by the catapult can easily destroy those monsters, but the shortcomings of the catapult are too obvious - poor hit rate, narrow range, slow reloading and very draining of soldiers' stamina (although this can be mechanically Power to solve), before the crystal bomb was used as ammunition, it was not even powerful enough. It can be said that it is completely technically insufficient to let something with such a serious style of painting appear on the south wall of Cecil. Helpless.

And the above shortcomings are only the parts that Byron and others can understand. In fact, Gawain knows that the shortcomings of trebuchets are far more than these - trebuchets that can only project ammunition do not have the attribute of "piercing armor" at all, while those thrown out Whether it is a stone or a bomb, as long as there is no direct shooting ability, it is difficult to use the effect when facing the solid city wall. Throwing the bomb over the city wall into the enemy's city sounds like a very beautiful thing, but as long as the city wall of the traditional noble castle As long as it can stand for a day, the form of war will not change.

Although Gawain's ultimate imaginary enemy is the magic tide and the disasters associated with the magic tide, he is very clear that before facing the power of nature, he has to face the worldly forces in this world, and at present it is definitely not stable. In the big 6 situation, he must first create a weapon that can fight against the traditional city.

Otherwise, his Cecil Territory might not survive to fight against the Demon Tide.

"The catapult that can project crystal bombs is already the most powerful weapon I have ever seen," Knight Philip couldn't help but said when he heard Gawain's words, "unless... we can make it as easy to operate as a heat ray gun. , but a new weapon on a much larger scale.”

In a world where gunpowder propelled weapons never existed, it was difficult for Gawain to explain the concept of "artillery" to others, but he could describe the characteristics of artillery, and after hearing his description, everyone fell into In thinking.

Hetty was the first to break the silence: "The key to the problem is to shoot the 'cannonball' in a straight line at an extremely fast speed. We have built a very powerful cannonball, but we can't 'shoot', what do you mean Is it?"

"That's right, and I've considered the Repulsion Array," Gawain nodded, "it's just that something like the Repulsion Array lacks explosive power, so it's difficult to give the shells enough initial. It is theoretically feasible to set a large number of repulsion points with suitable angles on the feeding path of the shell to continuously add, but I have roughly calculated that even with the current most efficient repulsion substrate and the best arrangement spacing, this adding orbit requires more than ten meters. Even tens of meters long can make the shells have enough lethality and range, otherwise it is not as good as a trebuchet."

At this time, Carmel, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Do I need a physical 'cannonball'?"

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, his tone with anticipation: "Do you have other ideas? Of course it is better if you have other ideas. The physical cannonball is only one of the ideas, as long as it can solve the problem, any idea is fine."

"In the days of Gondor, we had a weapon called an arcane pulser, which compressed powerful arcane energy into a constriction device and released it in a targeted direction -- very powerful," said Carmel. " It's actually kind of like a giant arcane missile in nature."

Gawain couldn't help frowning: "Arcane Pulser... To be honest, I know this, but you should also know that the Arcane Pulser is powered by the magic of the dark blue magic well - its ammunition is pure magic. Crystal, the pure magic power from the deep blue magic well is stored in the crystal, and every time a fire is fired, a crystal will be scrapped, which is something that cannot be realized in this era."

"Yes, the deep blue magic well, that pure and powerful magic is our biggest constraint," Kamal admitted to Gawain's statement, "but today I saw something that may... partially solve this problem."

Everyone at the scene immediately turned their curious gazes on Carmel, and Amber couldn't help but ask, "What?"

Carmel raised his arm, and an evocative hand was formed, and brought over a bunch of unremarkable metal devices that were placed not far away.

Gawain probed and saw that it was a strange belt-like device connected by a series of rune substrates, and there were some unknown uses on the "belt". rune structure. When he first saw this thing, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "Isn't this what Rebecca was hanging on at the time?"

Amber also looked at Carmel in surprise: "Wow, so you also have the habit of following things?"

Carmel made Amber's words flash again, and after a few flashes, he explained helplessly: "This is what fell on the city wall when you took Rebecca away, did you forget?"

"...It seems to be the case."

Gawain interrupted the conversation between Carmel and Amber: "In short, what is this?"

Tyr, who had been sitting lazily under the table, but was listening with her ears all the way, suddenly appeared from under the table, and pointed at the pile of metal plates with the tip of her tail: "Rebecca said it was an amplifier. , I don't know anything else."

After speaking, the siren shrank back again--seriously coiled himself up again like a hibernating snake.

"According to my judgment, this is actually a bunch of magic field receivers, and some modifications to balance the load," Carmel spread out the stack of metal plates, "Miss Rebecca's idea seems to be very simple-- Because her personal magic power reserve is limited, she connected herself to the entire magic net through the magic field receiver, intending to use the magic net as her own magic power reserve, and use magic net to cast spells... We have all seen the final result, She successfully created a huge fireball never seen before, proving the feasibility of this idea.

"It's just that there is still a limit to her idea, and that is 'human' itself. The human body limits her swing, so she fainted after a big fireball, but...machines and steel are not afraid of these, or even if Machines and steel can't stand this pressure either, they can be mass-produced, they can be consumed.

"So just by attaching these amplifiers to a certain weapon, we can recreate the splendor of arcane pulsers."

Gawain couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You mean, the magic net... No, the magic field can act as the energy source of the 'Arcane Pulser'?"

"No, I don't plan to copy an 'Arcane Pulser'," Kamal denied, "The Deep Blue Well cannot be copied, nor can the arcane Pulser based on the dark blue magic, I just use this amplifier And it was revealed in today's big fireball... If we can manipulate enough powerful energies to redistribute these energies in a reasonable way, and in the process let go of the shackles of 'personal talent', then We don't need to be limited to specific spells or so-called 'skills' at all. Like today's fireball... is it really still a 'fireball'?"

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, that thing really has the concept of fireball, and Gawain feels that if this trend continues, Rebecca may really plan to rub the sun out...

"Pure magic power gathered together is a very powerful force in itself. The 'Arcane Pulser' was based on this idea, so based on the same idea, the energy of the magic net is extracted and used for attack after gathering, maybe also It is feasible. And compared to the deep blue magic well that can no longer be replicated after it is lost, the magic net is something that is completely in the hands of human beings.”
