This report may be the first magic experiment report on the mainland involving so many interdisciplinary subjects.
Most mages would be confused after seeing this report.
Because they only have professional knowledge in a few areas, but have never understood or dabbled in the rest.
However, this ultra-difficult experimental report seemed clear to Yibei.
There is no other reason. As the first minister of the Ministry of Magic Science and Technology, Ibeth single-handedly promoted the cross-integration of different magic disciplines, and advocated the study of mages to have a comprehensive understanding and study of these disciplines.
Yibesi is the master of this.
After the research mage and blood blacksmith from Hammerfell joined the Starwind Territory, Ibeth came into contact with the magical knowledge that was once strictly confidential, and conducted systematic and in-depth study.
Although the ancient technology unearthed from the Shantiri ruins has not been thoroughly studied, it has great development potential and application value.
In comparison, Silver City-State's treasure-making and construction sciences have reached a level of development that is very mature, but they have fallen into a bottleneck where they cannot move forward. The level of use of magic energy is not very high... .
After mastering more fields of knowledge, some scientific research routes that she had never imagined emerged in Yibesi's mind.
In the past, the Ministry of Magic Technology has been obsessed with finding the alchemical formula for "gunpowder".
According to Li Ran, "gunpowder" is a powdery mixture that can cause a flame explosion. When ignited and detonated, a large amount of gas will be generated in a short period of time, pushing the projectile out of the gun barrel.
According to this logic, only by finding the alchemical formula for "gunpowder" in Ashan can we try to make "guns".
However, after countless failures, Ibes painfully discovered that it was very likely that she would not be able to find alchemical powder similar to "gunpowder" in Yashan.
The reason is that the underlying rules of Ashan are different from those of Earth.
On Earth, when a fire deflagrates, it releases a large amount of gas in a short period of time.
In Ashan, fire and air are two independently existing magical elements.
When the fire magic explodes, it is more of the wild surge of the fire element magic itself, which does not produce so much gas.
In other words, it is impossible to push the shell through the gas pressure of the "fire element" explosion.
In this case, can we use air spells to generate enough thrust?
the answer is negative.
The existing air spells are powerful, stable and long-lasting. Magics such as air control and levitation are small enough to be able to retrieve objects from the air and support mages to float in the air. They are large enough to support huge magic through the use of magic energy mechanisms. The floating city rises into the sky.
Although air spells can produce huge thrust, it is a stable and long-lasting buoyancy, not an instantaneous explosive force.
The existing gas spell system cannot create the gas power generated by gunpowder out of thin air.
So far, efforts to recreate the "gunpowder" effect through fire element and air element magic have failed in stages.
However, Ashan has a well-known proverb.
Failure breeds success.
After in-depth research, Yibesi came up with more new ideas.
The most imaginative one is to create some kind of magical energy propulsion device.
Yibesi believes that if you want to complete the research and development tasks required by Li Ran as soon as possible, you must change your thinking.
With the development of the Star Wind Territory, the enemies in front of them are also constantly advancing. The explosive ballistae that was once a killer weapon is increasingly unable to meet the battlefield needs of the Star Wind Territory.
Although the Explosive Ballista has a powerful range of killing capabilities, the shadow bombs carried by the arrows can only effectively kill low-level enemies. It has limited effect on most mid-level enemies. For high-level enemies, the effect is minimal if their vital points are not damaged. .
Li Ran wanted to develop gunpowder and manufacture guns. Ultimately, the purpose was to create a powerful, highly lethal, cost-controllable long-range mechanical weapon to supplement the shortcomings of the explosive ballista.
Yibesi boldly imagined that since the trial production of gunpowder was difficult, could it be possible to bypass the trial production of gunpowder and directly try to make the guns Li Ran mentioned?
After a lot of imagination and argumentation, Yibesi proposed an unprecedented plan.
Is it possible to create an electromagnetic magic power device to launch projectiles?
Different from the single fire element and the lukewarm air element, thunder spells, as a side branch of air spells, have both speed and explosive power.
Yibes immediately conveyed her thoughts to the subordinates of the Magic Energy Technology Department, and Hughes led the research mages to put into experiments. Only then did Yibes have the research report in her hands.
After half a year of experiments and trial production, breakthrough progress has been made in the research and development of electromagnetic magic power devices.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Yibesi also gave the product under development a new name - the magic power cannon.
This is a weapon that has never appeared on the Ashan continent.
It is entirely silver-white, and uses magic energy metal made by blood blacksmiths as the barrel. The inside of the barrel is engraved with complex and detailed magic energy patterns, which are used to increase the energy and speed of the cannonballs, and can provide vector guidance for the magic energy cannonballs when they are fired. .
The cannonball is designed and cast through exquisite structural engineering. The sharp front end is a solid alloy killing part, and the hollow part at the rear end is filled with mana crystals for energy and alchemical materials that activate thunder and lightning spells.
Under this design idea, the mages created test cannons and shell samples of different plans, continued test firings, and experienced numerous failures until they recently achieved success.
