Those failed plans were discarded, and only one remained in the end.
The magic metal cast by the blood blacksmith has good magic conductivity and is much harder than ordinary enchanted metals. In the state of charging with dragon blood crystal, the metal performance can be greatly enhanced, making it reach the level of artifact-level weapon and armor materials.
The "Dark Secret Book" left by the ancient master of dark alchemy records a unique alchemical formula, which is composed of some lightning-attributed Warcraft crystal nuclei and rare alchemical materials. It can be added during metal smelting to effectively strengthen the metal. electromagnetism.
When the blood blacksmith was creating magic metal, he tried to add these alchemical materials. After continuous trial production, he actually created a new type of magic metal.
This kind of magic energy metal has high hardness, high magic conductivity, and strong electromagnetic properties. Because thunder spells generally have a magnetic attraction effect, this metal can be effectively pulled by the magic power of electric elements free in the air.
This metal is vividly called: thunder metal.
At this point, the final step is needed to make the thunder metal into the shells of the magic power cannon.
These precious special magic energy metals are made into two parts under the design of magic construction science. The front end is a solid streamlined cone, and the hollow part at the rear end is filled with thunder-based alchemical propellants and magic energy crystals.
Under this design, cannonballs made of thunder metal can activate the thunder-based alchemical propellant stored inside the cannon barrel, and the activation effect depends on the amount of powder inside.
If the charge is small, the power of the spell activated may be the same as that of an ordinary lightning bolt. If the charge is huge, it may reach the level of thunderbolt lightning or chain lightning.
After the cannonball is activated, the projectile will rush out of the cannon bore under the powerful magnetic attraction of lightning magic, and gain great kinetic energy in the process. Its speed can even match the flight of lightning bolts, thunderbolts and other magics. Quite the speed!
In other words, the complex raw materials and structure of the magic power cannon are only used to push the shells out at extremely high speeds.
The thunder metal bullets coming out of the barrel will kill the enemy entirely with huge kinetic energy!
Although this is the only feasible solution after repeated trials, it also results in that the manufacturing cost of the current version of the magic power cannon is too high, which is far away from Yibeisi's original intention and is also different from Li Ran's requirements for weapon development.
At the beginning, what Yibesi wanted to create was a long-range weapon that was low-cost, easy to manufacture on a large scale, capable of forming fire coverage, and posing a threat to mid-level and above enemies, similar to an advanced version of the Explosive Ballista.
However, the current version of the magic power cannon requires blood blacksmiths to smelt and forge thunder metal by hand, mages proficient in magic construction to carve the magic lines inside the barrel, and to create more complex shells, plus expensive alchemy. Raw materials make the manufacturing cost of manufacturing mana-powered cannons and shells high, and the process difficulty also greatly increases.
The measured performance of the magic power cannon made according to this design is also unexpected.
Encircled by lightning energy, the outgoing cannonballs are not only fatal to mid-level enemies, but also have powerful damage capabilities to high-level enemies and even champion creatures!
After testing, it is estimated that the powerful kinetic energy of high-end thunder metal bullets, except for the limited effect on creatures with extremely high physical defense such as Cyclops and Crystal Dragon, can cause certain damage to other common seventh-level champion creatures.
For Ashan, this is really an unexpected invention that breaks the times.
Since ancient times, the war-torn Yashan people have divided various creatures into different levels according to their comprehensive combat capabilities, from the first to the seventh level, and even rare super-level and demigods, who fight on behalf of the creatures. average ability level.
Under normal circumstances, except for situations of numerical suppression and characteristic restraint, the differences between low-level creatures, mid-level creatures and high-level creatures are like those between insects and sparrows, or between sparrows and falcons.
When low-level people face high-level people, they can only be crushed and slaughtered.
However, the emergence of the magic power cannon blasted a small hole in the iron wall of the class cast by this absolute formula.
Under ideal conditions, the magic power cannon can be used by an ordinary person to severely damage or even kill seventh-level champion creatures at close range.
However, the operation of the magic power cannon is cumbersome, the transportation and deployment speed is slow, and the accuracy of the test machine is also very limited.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Most seventh-level creatures have sharp senses and cannot stay in place and let a soldier deploy the magic power cannon and bombard them face to face.
In other words, the actual combat effect of the magic power cannon is not as wonderful as its performance indicators look.
Moreover, this kind of artillery is destined to be scarce in quantity and difficult to popularize.
Due to the complex, diverse and highly confidential manufacturing process, magic power cannons cannot be copied and manufactured by other countries and forces on the mainland.
The extremely high cost and the short supply of magic metal and alchemical raw materials also determine that its manufacturing speed is very slow.
Even the prosperous Starwind Territory has an upper limit on the number of mana-powered cannons it can retain in the future. It is impossible to equip the army with them like explosive ballistae and deploy them on a large scale in city defense buildings and warships.
As a result, the tactical function of the magic power cannon is completely different from what was initially imagined.
It is expensive, huge in size, heavy in mass, and difficult to transport. It takes a lot of time to deploy and deploy after arriving on the battlefield. It is loaded with thunder metal shells by trained operators. Its hit rate is very low. It can only be hit by a frontal hit by the shell. Taking damage, artillery fire coverage cannot be formed.
But this guy who is full of shortcomings actually possesses damn absolute destructive power!
The huge kinetic energy and charged thunder metal shells are like the powerful Thor's hammer, blasting and piercing the enemies in front of the flight path with absolute power.
This is the final result of the magic power cannon experiment in Hughes' report.
Yibes watched with rapt attention. Although she had been mentally prepared for it, when such an ultimate magic weapon with distinct advantages and disadvantages was born from her hands, she still felt the joy she had not seen for a long time.
The shadow witch wears a purple dress, holds her delicate face with a jade hand, and leans lazily on the table. Her long silver-white slightly curly hair shines with a shimmer of light, falling from the elf's naked body like stars. The shoulders slipped down and rested lightly on top of the purple and gold tube top.
She put the report down and sighed softly.
Finally, although the man's mission was not completed perfectly, in a sense, Yibes led the Magic Technology Department and unexpectedly broke out a new path.
The magic power cannon will become Xingfeng Ling's secret weapon on the battlefield. When it roars on the battlefield, the entire Yashan will be shocked.
