The first transformation of Tinder was completed, but things were not completely over yet. Lin had to check the results of the transformation to make sure there were no unexpected errors.
Just as he was about to speak, Lin hesitated for a while and asked, "Friend, what should we call you now?" It's not appropriate to call him an iron stone man. '
The seven-meter-tall iron giant lowered his head and looked directly at the outside magician. The flashing red light in his eyes showed that he was getting used to this new body and exploring various new functions. He did not evade Lin's question and said, "Indeed, the title Iron Stone Man no longer suits me." From now on, just call me by my name, Orion. '
After hearing this, not only were the elemental creatures in West Wind Valley surprised, but even Lin was a little surprised.
According to what he learned during this period of time in the earth elemental plane and contact with elemental creatures, most of the elemental creatures do not have real names. The names they are given are just a proxy for their individual characteristics. There are many unexpected names like fluffy rabbit, first person, second person, third person living in the valley.
If they explicitly state that they have a 'name', then they are at a completely different level from ordinary elemental creatures. Those with true names will be remembered in the long stream of the Earth Mother Spirit. Unless they intend to commit suicide, no matter how many times their body dies, they can still wake up from their slumber.
And with names, they will also have more distinctive personalities. I just don't know if this is really related to the 'real name', or if it is just a difference in self-perception of elemental creatures. Just like human beings, having confidence and not having confidence are very different.
In any case, after being transformed by the fire, the iron stone man has the name 'Orion', which is a big deal for the elemental creatures in West Wind Valley. They never thought that a companion with a real name would appear beside them in the West Wind Valley.
An elemental creature hurriedly asked: 'O'Lion, did you get the name O'Lion from your mother? Did she really acknowledge you? '
'No, my friend. I feel this is not a gift given to me by my mother. 'The tall iron man shook his head and said.
'But you have a name. '
'Yes, I have a name. And I know that I need more companions to maintain this gift. ' Orion clearly expressed his feelings that originated from the core of the elf.
If all this was brought about by fire... all the elemental creatures turned their heads and looked at the magician holding the fire with fiery eyes.
Stretching out his other hand, he first stopped other elemental creatures who wanted to speak. Lin said, "Wait a minute, before you do anything, I have some questions to ask Orion first." is that OK. '
'Ask, my dear friend. I'll answer any questions you have, do anything. ' Orion said happily.
For an elemental creature with a true name, this iron man's promise is quite heavy. However, Lin didn't want to push the envelope too far. He was just curious about the first elemental creature transformed by Fire, and wanted to confirm that there were no mistakes in all the transformations. At least you have to confirm that the transformation of the fire will not bring any uncontrollable adverse effects.
Orion didn't know that he was lucky enough to be the first white mouse, and Lin wouldn't be stupid enough to expose it. On the grounds that he wanted to test this new body and at the same time let him get used to it as soon as possible, the tall iron man cooperated without reservation.
'Well, the first question is, do you have something more in your mind? After Lin finished speaking, he pointed to his head. What we want to ask here is of course not lesions such as brain tumors and hematomas, but the knowledge about the new body.
Orion certainly didn't get it wrong. He himself is also very curious about the extra things in his cognition. It's just that the transformation has just been completed, and there is no time to calm down and study this new knowledge. When asked by the magician, he replied: 'Yes, there are indeed many new things. '
'Is there anything about the weapons you have on you? Lin asked slightly anxiously.
The only weapons Lin could identify with the mechanized Orion were the two long barrels on his back. One of them is like a tuning fork. Two inward blade-like iron pieces will generate mutually disturbing magnetic fields, and then generate a plasma flow and push it out. This is a plasma cannon, a pure energy weapon.
The other gun barrel is square, with a beveled muzzle. What was fired was a physical cannonball, a standard quality weapon. But it is not pushed with gunpowder, but with a strong magnetic field. The official name is the electromagnetic railgun.
Introducing mechanical knowledge to the earth elemental plane, Lin never thought of developing gunpowder-based thermal weapons from the beginning, but directly considered railguns and plasma cannons.
The reason is simple. Gunpowder weapons require an additional technology tree, and the muzzle velocity of the bullet is only between 600 and 1,000 meters per second, with a maximum of no more than 2,000 meters per second. But the railgun can easily reach a muzzle velocity of three thousand meters per second, and it can even increase. Moreover, the range that railguns can push is not inferior to gunpowder weapons at all, and the accuracy between the two is of a different order of magnitude.
The bullets or shells of gunpowder weapons will fly in a unique trajectory after leaving the muzzle or muzzle, rather than in a straight line. This is why when snipers observe shooting parameters, in addition to wind speed, they also need to estimate the distance of the target. Because at different distances, the bullet will be at different positions on the extension line of the barrel axis.
Taking a rifle as an example, after the bullet leaves the muzzle, it will first float upward slightly, then drill down for a long distance, and then return upward to the extension line of the axis of the barrel. Therefore, when shooting at a target fifteen meters away, the rifle's crosshair needs to move a little higher toward the target to hit the bullseye.
It's just that most of the corrections, for the gunsmith, will be done on the sight from the beginning. Or give a ruler with different parameters so that the shooter does not have to make corrections himself.
Another example is the bombardment of battleships. Basically, no matter how experienced the gunner is, after adjusting the correct parameters, he still needs a little luck and a lot of shells to hit the target. There are too many actual situations such as straddle fire and ricochet that cannot be determined before the bombardment, and precise strikes in the true sense cannot be achieved.
But railguns don't have these problems with gunpowder weapons. It's the most basic thing to shoot where you point them. Even for long-distance shelling, no matter how many external influencing factors there are, as long as there are no major problems with the shooting procedures and parameters, the offset distance calculated in centimeters can still be considered unqualified.
Although the long-range weapon designs that Lin left behind in Fire were mainly two types: plasma cannons and railguns, the detailed designs are still slightly different. Usage methods and precautions will also vary. All of these require users, and Orion, to take the initiative to explore and become familiar with them.
