Chapter 371 Solderin's Order

Solderling is not an expert in magic technology, nor does he understand how the machines and mass-produced magic circles that Gawain came up with work, but he is at least an experienced fighter and knowledgeable. The adventurer of —— He can see their great advantages and broad prospects from those unprecedented and incredible magic weapons, and can roughly imagine what kind of environment these weapons can be used in, this is enough.

Of course, Soldrin himself knows that his judgment based on past experience is definitely still not enough. Those new weapons are too powerful and the concept is too advanced. "Let every ordinary person release the magic of destroying the world. The idea of ​​"power" is a crazy but real tendency in Cecil Land, so Mr. High Ranger himself is not sure how much those weapons will eventually unfold, but one thing he can be sure of - he knows he wants to what.

"The lord ordered me to train the Iron Rangers to be a brand new class, and he gave me the task of designing new weapons and testing new tactics, you know, it's a very challenging task," Solderling said. Said with a smile - because Mr. Nicholas Egg in front of him always has a smile (funny), which makes everyone who talks to him can't help but laugh, "So I have some ideas of comparing ... before. We Find a quiet place to talk about those designs in detail.”

"Of course, we can go to the machine shop," Nicholas said buzzingly, getting up and floating, "Well... there are too many people in the artisan hall, let's go to my office."

Nicholas Egg's office is located next to the Craftsman's Hall, which is both his office and where he usually lives. This is a room that few people come to visit except Rebecca and Gawain - it is probably difficult for outsiders to imagine how a sphere with a diameter of 1.3 meters can live and rest, and Soldrin is also curious about this. , and after entering this cylindrical room, he saw a lot of things that looked quite weird...

He saw that there were many high and low metal columns lined up in the room, and some metal plates as polished as mirrors were inlaid on the walls. There were no beds, tables and chairs that humans needed, but there was one that was just right for Nicholas. The circular platform on which the eggs stayed and rested was located in the center of the room. Beside the circular platform, Soldering also saw a three-tiered shelf full of various metal crafts, but the appearance of those crafts It does look... Strange, some of them look like sails with complex structures, some are like rings nested within each other, and some are simply twisted and tangled metal clumps, Solderling believes, even if it is Even the best art connoisseurs can't see the meaning of these things here.

"You did all of this?" He looked curiously at the big metal ball floating in front of him,

"These... decorations?"

"I made it with scraps in my spare time," Nicholas said buzzingly. "My memory is incomplete, but occasionally some hazy impressions emerge. Gawain suggested that I make models of those hazy impressions and preserve them. , maybe it helps me remember something. Of course, this method has not worked so far, but it is still very interesting to make these gadgets. I guess these things must be things that I have been dealing with a lot back then, so I am in the loop Such an impressive impression in the polarizer - oh, the ring polarizer is my memory organ. Let's not talk about that, tell me what you think."

Soldering's attention was immediately diverted from the "crafts" in the room, he coughed lightly and said, "First, about the protective gear currently used by Cecil's combat soldiers - as far as I know, they The magic armor has a layer of 'lining' painted with various runes, doesn't it?"

"That's right. The original version of the magic armor directly engraved the runes on the metal armor, but this is easy to cause the runes to malfunction when the armor is impacted and vibrated, and it is not conducive to upgrading and replacement, so we added it to the armor later. Tactical lining, made of tough leather," Nicholas Egg said, taking a random iron ingot from a nearby metal ingot pile, which floated between him and Solderin as if The liquid quickly changed shape in mid-air, and within a few breaths, it became the appearance of the current Cecil combat soldier's standard armor, and the various parts of the armor were scattered and displayed in front of Solderin, "This is Part - that's where the tactical lining is."

"The tactical lining is much like the cotton or leather armor worn in the steel armor, but its main function is to carry the runes, so the coverage and protection are lower than the leather armor - which is also to reduce the cost," Nicholas Egg continued, "At present, the runes we have integrated on the tactical lining are mainly weight reduction, which is used to reduce the overall burden of the armor on the soldiers; weak element protection, which is used to enhance the soldiers' resistance to low-level magic; Breeze Shield, can resist a certain degree of foreign attacks, and can be used to resist toxic environments. In addition, we also set up protection runes to resist high temperature and low temperature, although they are weak, but enough to make soldiers in many extremes survive longer in the environment.”

Soldering looked at this set of armor that could almost turn ordinary people into low-level mortals, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do these things rely on combat backpacks to provide energy?"

"Yes, there is a high-power magic capacitor in the combat backpack. In addition to charging the weapon crystal, the excess energy is supplied to this armor," Nicholas egg floated up and down, "The largest in this armor The energy-consuming unit of the corpse is weight loss, but that's also the most important part - without it, the physical exertion of a soldier would increase exponentially."

Sol

Delin thought about it for a while and said, "If we give up this layer of steel armor, or keep only the light armor pieces, and reduce the carrying capacity of the battle crystal, can we also reduce the combat backpack?"

"...Theoretically, yes," Nicholas Egg thought for a while, "but this will greatly reduce the protection..."

"It can be replaced by adding stone skin runes to the inner lining - although its effect is weaker than the current steel armor forged by Cecil, it can also provide soldiers with protection against ordinary light swords, and stone skin As a basic rune group, rune consumes much less energy than a formal spell such as weight reduction," Thordling said of his thoughts, "According to my conception, the Iron Ranger is not a Even if we have to attack the enemy head-on, we will leave immediately after a blow - so it is better to save the weight of the armor and combat backpack and use it elsewhere."

"Understood, I'll consider a plan," Nicholas Egg said as he used another metal ingot to "pinch" a model of the item Solderin needed. "What else?"

"And in terms of weapons, in addition to being equipped with a magic terminal with a heat ray gun and a force field shield, I hope that the Iron Ranger will have some more powerful offensive weapons..." Solderling said, thinking in his mind The middle side couldn't help but emerge from the dangerous encounter on the Typhon frontier last winter, thinking of the mysterious cultist of the end of all things, and the battle between himself and the other party.

"In actual combat, I found one thing, that is, traditional spell skills have limits, personal talent, battlefield environment, the physical state of the caster, there are too many factors that can affect the effect of a spell, but Magic weapons are different...As long as you still have the strength to pull the trigger, it will surely wield a trustworthy power...and it's hard to guard against," Solderling showed a serious look on his face, "This is a crystal grenade. told me..."

Nicholas was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "So what are you trying to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is...things that just pull a ring and press a button and they'll blow up, they're amazing!" Soldrin said with a big smile on his face, "they're loyal under any circumstances. To achieve your goal, I hope that every soldier of the Iron Ranger can use these loyal weapons... Let me just say it clearly, how small can the magic crystal rail gun be?"

Nicholas was stunned for a few seconds before he realized: "What?!"

"I've seen the original version of the 'Justice-i' type magic crystal railgun, and I've seen the lightweight 'Persuader-i' type cannon," Solderling said, "The size of the 'Persuader' is almost only 'Justice' is as big as one-fifth of the size and can be pulled by a carriage, but it is said that it can still collapse the city wall - according to Miss Rebecca, the orbit can actually be further reduced, if the energy storage crystal is used for energy If so, the heavy carrier and the energy-gathering base can also be omitted. She once told me about a plan to extremely lighten railguns, and I think this plan is feasible..."

Nicholas listened to Solderling in a daze, and it took a long time for the words to come out: "...You just said that you want to reduce the weight of the armor, I thought you were going to let the Iron Rangers go the light route... As a result Now you say you want them to carry a small magic crystal railgun?! Do you know that even if that thing loses weight, it's still a big guy?"

"I have to emphasize two points, first of all, the Iron Rangers do not have to carry all their weapons on every mission, I hope to design an 'arsenal' containing a variety of weapons for them, this arsenal is shared by the entire Ranger team Use, according to the mission requirements, each soldier will carry different equipment, the miniaturized magic crystal railgun is just one of their spare weapons; secondly, light armor and heavy weapons are not contradictory, in the Silver Empire, the Elf Ranger Guards There is a heavy spear thrower, the weapon used is a heavy one-time throwing spear, they are lightly armored soldiers, in order to carry the throwing spear and throw it easily, they even only have leather chest guards on the upper body - but they are in the forest. The most dangerous hunter. I wish the Iron Rangers could do the same."

"...Okay, anyway, you are good at this, I will go back to the people from the Institute of Magical Technology to study and study together," Nicholas Egg was persuaded and said while recording Solderin's request, "Then except for the light individual soldier Railgun, what more do you need?"

"Tactical goggles with distortion detection effects - I know this has been made, but it is not yet installed. I hope to try it out first."

"Row."

"A small blade that is easy to carry and wields flexibly. I have a blueprint for this. It's a elf dagger - but I hope you can transform it into a fusion-cutting sword. The fusion-cutting sword should be miniaturized, right?"

"It's a bit difficult, but it can be a challenge. Maybe at the cost of reducing the continuous use time."

"Acceptable. Also I would like to increase the grenade carrying capacity of soldiers, preferably by adding additional grenade slots to their armor - but without compromising mobility."

"...I knew... by the way, do you all have this fighting style?"

"That's not true," Solderling curled his lips in disdain. "How could they have the kind of knowledge I have?"

Mr. Egg: "..."
