Chapter 81 Monster, Monster

When Gawain arrived at the southeast corner of the camp, a group of Byron Knights who were patrolling nearby had gathered a group of soldiers. After hearing the movement, they immediately brought people over to maintain order and dispersed the daring civilians.

But to be honest, even if no soldiers stepped forward to drive out, there were few civilians gathered: they were not only afraid of the authority of the nobles, but also of the power of magic. It is undoubtedly a strange and terrifying place in the eyes of people, and the explosion from the laboratory is even more frightening. Although it is human nature to watch the fun, there are some fun that even the most daring people dare not watch.

Gawain saw a large hole in the side wall of the magic laboratory, and thick smoke was coming out of it. The thick smoke was mixed with a pungent burnt odor, and there was some magic power that had not yet dissipated. Glittering in the smoke, Hetty and Rebecca had already rushed out of the house, both of them were smoked and dusty, Hetty was calling water to clean up the soot from her hair and face, and Rebecca was embarrassed. After seeing Gawain, Becca rushed up excitedly: "Master Ancestor! The power of art is really powerful!"

Gawain held down Rebecca, who was obviously a little excited, and looked worriedly at the two culprits and victims of the experimental accident who seemed to have just been rescued from the black coal kiln: "Are you two okay? Why is the wall blowing up? collapsed"

The power of this explosion was stronger than he expected. He thought that there was a protective magic, and the detonation was only some unpackaged crystal particles, so it would not be too harmful.

However, he ignored one thing: this explosion is not a gunpowder weapon on earth, but a magical effect. For explosion magic, whether it is enclosed in a hard airtight container has a limited impact on the power.

"The effect of a large number of crystal particles being detonated at the same time is a bit unexpected," Hetty finally used the summoned water to wash herself into a human appearance. After hearing Gawain's question, she stepped forward and replied, and at the same time Angrily, she threw a ball of water on Rebecca's face, "Of course, what's more important is that she placed the two test samples too close! The crystal particles with double the weight were detonated at the same time!"

Gawain glanced at Rebecca silently, thinking that the silly roe deer might not be able to escape today's fight.

After confirming that the two of them were all right, Gawain was more or less relieved. After that, it was time to care about the property: "Is the loss big?"

Heidi showed a pained look on his face: "The magic circle I used for the experiment was destroyed, but fortunately at the moment of the explosion, I vented most of my power to the vacant wall. The resonator was not affected and instead half the wall needed repair."

Gawain glanced at Rebecca silently again. Since the most precious crystal resonator was not broken, the silly roe deer should not be killed.

Rebecca didn't even notice.

Of course, it is also possible that she was still awake after being bombarded. Noticing that the ancestor's eyes floated over several times, she asked in a dazed way, "Lord Ancestor, what are you looking at me for?"

Gawain thought for a while: "Are you resisting beating?"

Rebecca scratched her hair: "It's okay, I often fought with wolves when I was a child."

"Then it'll be fine," Gawain waved his hand, "How many samples did you use this time? How is the work of the Rune Trigger?"

"Just two small piles," Rebecca gestured at the approximate amount with her hand, and showed a particularly proud look when she lifted the rune trigger, "and let me tell you, the rune trigger really works! Connect it. It is enough to act as the starting energy on the explosion array. As long as the array has this initial energy, the subsequent explosion process can be fully supported by those crystals. I plan to try it next time to see if the magic of the rune trigger can still be activated. For other types of rune sets, it would be great if there was a more precise value for mana, so that we could know how much mana was generated when the trigger of the rune was closed, and we could also calculate how much mana an initial rune set would consume to run.”

As Rebecca spoke, her thoughts spread out, and when she was halfway out, she suddenly pulled Piao Yuan's thoughts in, and began to make a small report to Gawain: "Master Ancestor, Let me tell you, Aunt Hetty didn't believe me at first, didn't believe that the rune trigger would have a magic shock when it was closed, she said it didn't have a structure to gather energy."

When it comes to the rune trigger, Hetty really praised Rebecca: "That thing is indeed a very good invention, although there have been magicians who have tried to cut a complete magic circle before, and by analyzing these parts Rebecca's Rune Trigger uses a fixed pair of runes as the 'connection key', which is a fixed pattern. This structure fits very well with the 'universal' and 'normative' you often tell us about"

That's because Rebecca has positioned the rune trigger as a product that "can be used by ordinary people" from the very beginning. She even thought that if the rune trigger is damaged, the blacksmiths and apprentices in the steel factory can repair it. So she simplified this structure to the extreme, even to the point of having only one set of runes.

The mainstream mages in this world, who would have thought of this?

As for the "standard value of magic power" that Rebecca casually mentioned just now, Gawain also took it to heart.

Although at the technical level of modern humans, they do not have the ability to accurately measure and standardize magic power, but in the Gondor period 700 years ago, there were actually germs in this regard. In front of the almost endless magic power provided, they have thought about how to use this huge energy more accurately and in a more standardized way, but it is a pity that the deep blue well blew up before they could think about the result.

But since I want to develop on the basis of the "magic" of this world, then standardization and standardization are a matter of time.

"Finish the magic laboratory first, and then continue the explosion experiments on those crystals," Gawain recovered from his brief thought, looked at Hettie and Rebecca and said, "But the experimental methods need to be adjusted. The power of the crystal is beyond expectations, and it is too dangerous to continue testing indoors. I will give you the gentle slope east of the camp near the river bank as a test site, where the terrain is open and suitable for testing this kind of thing. Also, think about how to make a kind of The corresponding container is used to act as the shell of the 'Rebecca Crystal', so that it can be turned into a truly usable weapon."

Rebecca and Heidi nodded again and again, and wrote down these orders, but after thinking for a while, Gawain suddenly remembered a very crucial thing: "Wait, have you thought about how to delay the detonation time of the magic circle? ?"

"Delay the detonation time?" Hetty didn't react at once, but then realized that not everyone can use the evocative hand to press the rune trigger from a distance like himself.

With the current operating mechanism of the rune trigger and the explosion array, it belongs to a kind of thing that detonates when you press it, which means that this thing is simply a self-exploding artifact. You don't know if the enemy will die after you press the button, but you must be died

In this respect, the ancient crystal of Gondor relies on the "identification of friend and foe" function that is almost black technology to ensure safety, and the crystal also has a very complex detonation mechanism that runs automatically after it leaves the master's control, but this part of the rune In the eyes of today's mages, the group is simply an alien creation, and it is difficult to draw on paper, let alone restore it.

Heidi came up with a lot of runes and magic circles in her mind, and tried to use these things to meet the "delayed detonation" requirement put forward by her ancestors. She thought of adding a slow charging structure to those rune groups. , when the rune trigger is pressed, it begins to be fully charged, and only after the energy is full will it trigger the next-level detonation array, but obviously the instant magic provided by the rune trigger can't satisfy this.

Rebecca was also thinking quickly in her head, but in addition to the runes and magic circles, there were also a lot of springs and connecting rods in her head.

She is trying to meet the requirements of her ancestors by means of other than magic.

This is the difference in thinking between a mage who knows a lot of spells and a mage who only has one fireball.

The two great-great-great-great-granddaughters who were full of ideas left with the task that Gawain had given them, while Gawain stood there, looking at the magic laboratory that was still emitting a curl of green smoke and felt emotional.

Is there a magical world?

Sure enough, even the first sound of art is completely different from the earth.

As an explosive that requires a specific magic circle to detonate, the power and safety of "Rebecca Crystal" are not a problem, but they have encountered great trouble in delaying the detonation.

If it's gunpowder on Earth, it only needs a fuse.

In a blink of an eye, Cecil's pioneering camp has been rooted in this land for a month. The personnel and materials promised by King Francis II have not yet arrived, but there is clear news that they are on the way. This year's high water season of the Dorgon River It was half a month later than in previous years, and the aid from the hinterland of the kingdom was therefore delayed on the way.

For these delays, Gawain can be said to be mentally prepared: in this world where everything is slow and backward, one cannot expect others according to the precise and efficient social background on earth, so his camp construction plan is not affected at all, or proceed according to the established rhythm.

A large number of tents in the camp have become relatively sturdy wooden houses that can be used for a long time. At the current stage when cement is temporarily hopeless, Gawain is going to let the craftsmen open up a new area on the west side of the camp to build a brick kiln to burn soil. Although bricks failed to make cement in this world, it is still possible to burn bricks, which is an existing technology in this world.

It's just that traditional brick burning relies on labor, which is extremely inefficient, and the corresponding finished product prices are high. In places like Tanzania, only the citizens can afford brick houses.

However, before his plan could be implemented, a sudden change disrupted the rhythm of the camp construction.

Several serfs who went to the mountains to find quartz sand fled in terror. Two of them were seriously injured, and the other one has been left in the mountains forever.

They were attacked by "Aberrations".
