Chapter 310 Gao Wen's Improvement Plan

The cannonball exploded within the target range, and a thunderous bang spread into everyone's ears. Gawain knew that this loud noise not only blew up on the target, but also blew up in the traditions of this world - from Starting today, the city walls of the nobles are no longer indestructible, and the towers of the magician are no longer invincible. This power that can tear rocks and steel has been firmly in the hands of the extraordinary for thousands of years, but now, it All it takes is a militia who has been training for three months to pull a wrench to make it happen.

Someone got stuck.

Jenny stared blankly at the burst of fire, weighing in her mind how powerful magic it was. Although she personally participated in the optimization of the acceleration track, the moment the shell exploded was still beyond her expectations. imagine.

She thought of her terrifying mentor, and guessed how many rounds her mentor could withstand in front of the railgun, one shot? Or two shots?

It is meaningless to resist a few cannons, because in the new order created by the lord, all those who are enemies with Cecil will face a thousand cannons.

Those who try to use magic shields and amulets against the heat ray guns have proven it with their own lives.

Heidi also fell into a sluggishness, and she thought for the first time how different this war machine was from the bomb catapult used in the second defense battle - after thinking for a while, she realized that these are two completely different types. Concept weapon.

The trebuchet is often just a deterrent, a huge stone or a flaming fireball rises into the air and smashes on the head or the city wall with unstoppable force, the pressure it brings is for those who have little sense of honor and responsibility. Traditional noble soldiers are deadly, but in addition to the blow to morale, the damage that trebuchet can really cause in a battle is actually very limited. Supplement: In most cases, the number of war mages is insufficient, and their role is often only to kill important enemy units, create positional disturbances, or counter enemy mages.

And this kind of magic device, named "Magic Crystal Railgun" by the ancestors, is a weapon that really aims at destruction.

Accuracy, range, destructive power, stability, ease of operation... All indicators have only one purpose, that is, to be able to achieve the destructive effect on the target efficiently, accurately and quickly... As the ancestors once said, when artillery shells After the explosion, the traditional noble castle and the shield wall formed by the knights will be gone.

Watching the cloud of smoke gradually dissipating in the north wind, Byron raised his hand and scratched his messy gray-white hair: "This thing is more powerful than a ray gun...and more powerful than a trebuchet."

"If there are such things on the battlefield in the future..." Philip frowned as he looked into the distance, "Where should the knights and the heavy armored infantry go?"

Byron glanced at the partner and shrugged: "Didn't you see it just now? The knights shouted to open the cannon, and the infantry was responsible for loading and pulling the wrench."

The serious Philip inevitably fell into a tangled state: "...I always feel that this kind of battle lacks some sense of honor..."

Byron instructed: "Think about it, after this thing becomes popular, there will basically be two types of people on the battlefield, one is the one who is killed by the cannon before meeting anyone, and the other is the one who is responsible for firing the cannon. , the honor on the battlefield is either a heroic fight or the final victory - now the hero who fought bravely died before the battle started, that must be the most honor of the final victory, so the most honor of firing..."

Philip was taken aback for a while: "Can you really explain it like that?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain it? It can't be that whoever loses is honored every time, right? Then whoever still wins,

You can simply surrender when you start a battle - so the one who shoots the gun is the most honorable, at least more than the group lying on the ground. You say that you are the most honorable in the audience. Who is honored if you don't honor? right……"

Philip thought for a moment, then turned his head and left: "...I always think you're talking nonsense again."

Byron looked at Philip's back, and twitched the corners of his mouth rather bored: "Don't ask for it when the first batch of railguns are installed if you have the ability..."

Then he immediately came to Gawain: "Lord, will this new weapon be installed soon?"

Gawain looked at the old fritters knight and knew that the other party had developed a strong interest in this weapon. Byron was a real combatist, and he didn't care whether a certain weapon was in line with the tradition of knighthood - as long as he could What can effectively solve the enemy is good equipment, and the magic crystal rail gun is obviously such a good equipment.

"We still need to do some post-tests, and then we have to make adjustments for industrial mass production. It won't be until next spring when it's delivered to the production line."

Seeing a look of disappointment on Byron's face, Gawain smiled: "Even if there is a batch of finished railguns now, the combat corps is not ready to install it - in order to be able to use this new type of railgun most efficiently. weapons, we have to form a new specialized force."

"The new professional army?" Byron woke up from the excitement of "I'm about to have an Italian gun" (just understand the spirit), and immediately understood what Gawain meant.

From the range, power, and attack form of this new type of weapon, it is not difficult for him to judge what impact it can have on the war situation. It is not as simple as "changing a more powerful trebuchet" For the soldiers who control the magic crystal railgun, whether it is the most basic training content or its positioning on the battlefield, the commanding method of the superior commander must be re-customized in order to make these "big bang bang bangs" "to make the most of it.

"The Cecil Combat Corps will increase the 'artillery' unit to specifically control this heavy firepower. I will hand over the content of the artillery unit, training, and logistics supply in actual combat to you and Philip after this," Gao said. Wen said casually, "Manipulating the railgun requires mastering certain techniques. Unlike the heat ray gun, the range of the magic crystal railgun has exceeded the range that can be corrected by intuition, so to control this new cannon It puts forward higher requirements for the soldiers. When aiming, it needs to use various auxiliary sights to calibrate the shooting angle. It needs to use the shooting table prepared in advance to estimate the landing point of the shell, and it needs to be able to quickly respond to the shooting instructions issued by the commander. Therefore, it requires a high level of education for soldiers - even reading and literacy is not enough, so you need to pay more attention when selecting the first artillery."

Seeing Knight Byron leading the way, Gawain let out a soft sigh.

Then under his orders, soldiers and technicians fired all the test rounds and live rounds in reserve, and in the process collected a lot of quite valuable data.

After the test, he called Carmel and Nicholas Egg beside him.

"Are you satisfied with this weapon?" The arcane light on Kamel's body jumped, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Gao Wen nodded: "Very good, all aspects have met my requirements, but there is still a lot of room for improvement, do you know what it is?"

Carmel was still not used to Gawain's ability to see through a whole new kind of thing in an instant, and to make a lot of practical suggestions at once, so he was a little stunned for a while, but Nicholas Egg was obviously more adaptable than him. The 1.3-meter-diameter funny hummed: "Technology is similar, after the use of accelerated orbits to launch artillery shells becomes a reality, you must consider manufacturing similar products of various sizes and models for various purposes. Bar……"

"That's right," Gawain nodded, and his eyes turned to the launch site not far away. After the continuous high-intensity shooting pressure test, the magic crystal railgun was dissipating heat. Now the technicians are carefully dismantling the gun. The cover plate of the seat, and observe the charging structure and overload device (Rebecca booster module) inside to determine how the precise parts of the cannon have changed after these loads. "This cannon is very powerful, but it is only suitable for It is installed on the city wall or other fixed fortifications, and the large acceleration track needs to be carried by a fixed position magic net, which means that our soldiers lack offensiveness... A weapon that cannot take the initiative to attack is doomed. complete."

Carmel understood what Gawain meant: "Miniaturization?"

"This is the first direction," Gawain nodded. "On the battlefield facing the conventional army, the power of that cannon is too much. Find a way to lighten the shells, reduce the acceleration track, reduce the energy consumption, and let it It can be driven by the magic capacitor group, so that it can be mounted on a carriage, or even disassembled and carried on the back by the soldiers of the artillery group. Another direction is the diversification of artillery shells - the current artillery shells have only one effect, that is Kill the enemy through explosions, but since we can already launch tens of kilograms of magic devices to hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters away, why not add some tricks to these magic devices?"

Carmel was immediately reminded by Gawain, and new ideas opened up in front of him——

As a researcher from the Empire of Gondor, he never lacked innovative ideas.

"A magic device weighing dozens of kilograms... There are so many places to play," the ancient magician's tone became particularly pleasant, "I can even put a 'Creation of Annihilation' into it!"

Gawain glanced at the other party: "...you'd better say something cheaper, and it can be used in this era."

"...then I'll look back and think about it."

"You are responsible for the design of the mechanical part of the artillery," Gawain nodded to Nicholas Egg, and then looked at Carmel, "You are an expert in the field of magic. I believe that with the two of you, it is necessary to create more and more suitable It is not difficult to improve the model required by the battlefield. However, the research must meet the actual needs, and the production of new equipment must also take into account the production capacity of the production line. At present, we still focus on those key projects, and don't focus too much on it. pass."

Nicholas Egg floated up and down, and Carmel nodded: "Please rest assured, of course I understand this."

Gawain suddenly remembered another thing: "Speaking of... Santis, he has been leaving for two days, right?"

"Yes, he wants to complete the task you gave him as soon as possible," Carmel said, "and he can quickly establish contact with the circle of mages in the capital, and the shortage of talents in the territory can be alleviated earlier - if the population is in the spring At the time of increase, a group of technicians from the capital can be expanded at the same time, and everything will be perfect.”

Gawain looked thoughtful: "Is this part of the plan going smoothly..."

He raised his head and saw that Jenny and Rebecca were standing not far away. The two pointed at the magic crystal railgun that had been dismantled by the technicians, and seemed to be chatting hotly.

"Jenny! Rebecca!" Gawain exclaimed.

The two girls quickly ran over, and Rebecca beamed: "Master Ancestor, did you call me? What's the matter?"

Gao Wen nodded: "I have an idea about the magic net structure, let's see if it can be realized."

"Have you come up with ideas for improvement?" Jenny looked at the lord who seemed to have boundless energy and inspiration in surprise. "Or did you discover the flaws of the current magic net?"

"No, I'm going to create a flaw in it..."

The two girls looked confused at the same time: "Huh?"

Gawain smiled: "I'm going to dig a hole..."
