The person responsible for receiving General Xiao Lei is the third-ring mage Caroline.
Not counting the period of construction of the Research and Manufacturing Institute, this was the first time that our institute had officially received a general. Everyone was a little overwhelmed, so they pushed Caroline out. Besides being pretty, she also had the best magic talent in the institute. of.
When everyone was rescued from Red Stone City, they heard that the Blade Clan suffered a lot of casualties. However, the Phoenix City Army's rules were strict, so there was no chance for everyone to repay. Caroline was very grateful for this. During the reception, she explained the story in as much detail as possible. General Lei's question.
"Ice cone spell is a commonly used attack spell among second-level spells. It has a more stable trajectory than fireball and a strong enough physical impact. Second-level spells are simple enough and can be released quickly. Many third-level or even fourth-level mages It will also be used, like this." Caroline explained, directly releasing the ice pick spell in the practice field to demonstrate.
Xiao Lei observed carefully. It took about three seconds in total from the moment she started chanting silently in her mouth, to the ice pick flying out from the side of her arm, to the ice pick hitting the target thirty meters away.
It was slow, but the impact of the ice pick was much stronger than that of an arrow. A log with a thickness of 20 centimeters was directly penetrated. From the back, you can see a little bit of white ice that has been broken off at the tip. According to His Highness Li Xiang's instructions Knowledge should be the reason for the greater quality.
"Can you only shoot this far?"
Caroline herself was proficient in languages and did not need a translator. She blushed when she heard General Xiao Lei's words and explained: "I have never fought in a war, so I may be weak. There should be a mage who can hit one or two hundred with an ice pick." For enemies that are meters away, advanced players can also adjust the trajectory midway to ensure a hit."
What a troublesome trick.
"If the enemies are all at that level, what weapons do you think we should use to fight back?"
Caroline wanted to say that it was impossible for all the enemies to be that strong, but she didn't say it. The other party was the general of the Royal City's garrison, and he knew more than she, who had been a slave for more than ten years.
Moreover, the senior mage can indeed threaten regular troops without magic from a distance.
"General crossbows and bows are difficult to cause effective damage at a distance of 200 meters. I tried to make a magic-blessed crossbow, which can shoot a weight loss of about 200 grams. Its speed decreases slowly during flight. It can threaten light-armored troops at a distance of about 400 meters. However, it is very difficult to break through the magic shield of the mage, and there is currently no particularly good way."
The Magic Weapon Research Institute has been established for half a year, and they are basically focused on studying, because no senior mage is willing to teach them, and everyone needs to help each other. The learning efficiency is relatively limited, and the energy that can be used to research weapons is limited, so the product is not very good.
Caroline was a little ashamed, but didn't hide it.
Xiao Lei thought for a while and said, "Take me to see your crossbow first."
"Okay General, please follow me."
The two came to another testing site, which was already outside the small basin of the new city. It was mainly used for weapons and unstable attack magic experiments.
Along the way, someone else prepared experimental weapons and other things.
The heavy crossbow is really heavy. It is twice as heavy as the arrows used in the hunting bows that the Blade Clan learned to make after moving to the dark land. Moreover, it is suitable for an ordinary person's body, and it is a bit small for sharp blades. It is too big. Probably heavier.
Caroline also held the crossbow and explained to him: "This crossbow triggers a magic mechanism through the crossbow machine to enchant the arrow. It mainly improves the speed and flight stability of the crossbow, and maintains a relatively high accuracy when the distance is long."
After saying that, she started a shooting demonstration. Her shooting skills were so poor that she didn't even know where the crossbow went if it was lost.
But it's not a big problem. After Xiaolei became stronger, his basic and dynamic vision were also significantly enhanced. He could just see it.
If the garrison is equipped on a large scale, it will indeed have some effect, but there are still doubts.
Wang will not enhance himself to this point for no reason. His current level may threaten the backbone of the world, and some top guys may need His Highness Li Xiang to take action.
According to this idea, the magic crossbow on display now is a typical waste, because it is difficult to threaten yourself even from thirty meters away.
Not to mention a few hundred meters.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lei shook his head: "No, the speed is not fast enough, and the threat to the enemy is limited."
"...I'm sorry." Caroline made no excuses at all, because this kind of crossbow is indeed difficult to threaten high-end combat power, and the threat to heavy-armed units is also limited.
Xiao Lei looked at the reddish-skinned woman and was very satisfied with her attitude.
"Redesigned and manufactured according to the weight of twenty kilograms, I need to fly at least twice as fast. Can I do it?"
Because he only cares about the equipment customization of the Blade Legion, the load is also calculated based on the level of the blade. The weapon in a woman's hand is less than five kilograms at most, which is large in human hands but small in the hands of a sharp blade.
"This... I dare not say that it can be done now. I have to think of a way."
"Okay, tell me an approximate time and I will come to see you again."
"One...no, twenty days, within twenty days we will find a way to make the best sample we can."
"Okay, I'll come back then."
General Xiao Lei left, and Caroline quickly reported the matter to the dean.
The dean's mage level is only second level. It is said that it is because of his strong communication skills. Anyway, everyone has the same background. Life is beautiful now and there is no desire to win or lose.
After listening to Caroline's report, the dean immediately organized all three-ring level mages to tackle the problem.
But it didn't work. No matter how much everyone thought about it, they couldn't think of a way to double the speed of the crossbow, because the crossbow body couldn't withstand such a reverse thrust. Although the strength of the crossbow can be enhanced with magic, the problem is that the soldiers who use these weapons do not know magic themselves. The use of the weapons completely relies on the magic stored in the magic device. If you want to increase the strength of the crossbow, you will not be able to shoot a few arrows. used.
Feeling that his group of people was still too useless, the dean asked other departments for help and wanted to coordinate better enchanting materials.
But it's not that easy. After waiting for a few days, His Highness the Special Envoy came.
Her Highness the Special Envoy looked at everyone with resentment in her eyes, which obviously delayed her and Wang Qingqing's relationship and made everyone even more ashamed.
"A batch of magic gems will be transferred over later. I'm here to give you a lesson today. You are a research institute. From now on, you have to study this kind of stuff by yourself."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Everyone bowed their heads.
"Keep your head up and start class."
The class the special envoy took had nothing to do with magic. It was a class on ballistics and aerodynamics.
Those participating in the course are all three-ring mages, and most of them learned it through small opportunities while they were slaves. All of them are actually extremely smart.
After a total of six classes in three days, everyone suddenly realized that this is how flying objects fly, that kind of shape is required for supersonic speed, and how the attack power and flight resistance of long-range weapons are calculated in this way.
Now that we know how flying objects can stabilize their flight and what factors affect their speed, weapons are no longer limited to bows and crossbows.
In fact, someone in the institute had seen a musket, but the effective armor-piercing range of a musket was difficult to even reach a hundred meters, and its accuracy was very poor, so I didn't consider it in the early research. uuread a book
Things will be different after taking the ballistics class. Everyone knows that in addition to the left and right swing of the arrow, spin can also provide stable flight capabilities. His Highness also drew several new bullet shapes during the class, so the gun has a viable form. at.
With the shape of the sharp blade, the length of the gun itself can be 1.8 or even 2 meters, and it has a barrel of at least 1.5 meters in length.
There is no need to consider the arm and string strength of the crossbow. More types of magic arrays can be deployed around a long enough barrel. Magic can be used to drive a thirty to fifty-gram projectile, and the magic power consumption will not be special. big.
His Highness the Special Envoy said that he would supply magic gems. This is a super expensive magic material. No one has ever used it, but they know that it can charge and release magic an unlimited number of times, which should be able to meet certain continuous use needs.
The rough magic gemstone was delivered on the third day after His Highness left. The dean independently recruited several people from the new city who had worked as gemsmiths and blacksmiths during the slave period to help process the rough stone and process the ironwork.
Because there are many people who know magic in the place, the tools don’t need to be complete, as long as someone has the skills.
I made a prototype five days in advance, tried a few shots, and quickly sent someone to Phoenix to report the news.
When General Xiao Lei came back, he personally tried out the magic gun and was quite satisfied with the effect of the on-site test firing: "This is okay, but is it possible to make the magic storage part replaceable? Eleven rounds are still too few."
"Back to the general, the existence of the magic array will consume magic power for a long time. Once the magic power is interrupted, the magic array may become invalid. Even if a new magic storage device is replaced, it cannot continue to be used." After Caroline explained, she quickly made a remedy. "We will Managed to do it, but it will take some time.”
