Chapter 710 Elimination and Innovation

Recalling what happened in the morning, Roland felt a little unbelievable.

You said that he is an ordinary time traveler, how did he become the chosen one? At this time, should I read two poems to express my surprise?

Waking up early in the morning, when Agatha reported the observation results to him, he thought he heard it wrong. But with the testimony of many witches, he can only admit it first. At the same time, Roland knew that this result would definitely surprise the Taquila survivors. In order to strengthen the integrity of the communication, he simply asked the other party to visit his nap at noon.

I don't know if it's because my mental quality has improved after becoming a king, or it's just laziness... I picked up a book and lay on the office bench to read it for a long time, and I actually fell asleep. When she was woken up, the first thing she saw was the back of Nightingale drawing her gun and Phyllis fainting.

However, Roland didn't think that the so-called "chosen one" was chosen by heaven. It was just that the Taquila survivors placed too much hope in what they found, so much so that they regarded the witch who could activate it as a savior. figure.

Undoubtedly, the things in the ruins must be of great importance to make the three members of the Federation turn against each other in times of extreme danger, but it is worth considering that it has the power comparable to the gods and can wipe out the devil in one fell swoop. After all, it is really like a god's creation, how could the person who made it disappear into the underground maze without a sound? .

Of course, if you want to understand the inside story in detail, you have to communicate further with the adherents.

In addition, the result that the dream can be observed also proves his conjecture on the other hand-this dream world is indeed not completely constructed by his consciousness, and the details are too rich, far beyond the brain's ability. It is true that he provided a lot of materials, but it was someone else who put them together.

He had speculated before that the witch is the terminal of magic power transformation, but now it seems that there is still a checkpoint between the terminal and magic power. It is this level that endows magic with wonderful changes. It is like a black box with unknown principles. As long as the witch gives instructions, the black box can give back the results. In other words, the witch's ability realization process is no different from that of the dream world, the only difference is that he has no magic power to materialize the dream.

This reminded Roland of the relationship between the mage and the magic net. The former used gestures, spells, and spell-casting materials to contact the magic net, and obtained the power he needed from it.

And after he defeated Jie Luo, he accidentally gained the ability to connect levels, but that's all. In all likelihood, the complexity of an instruction is related to the difficulty of realization, and is not equivalent to the strength and use of the ability. On the contrary, the closer the ability is to the essence of magic power, the easier its transformation should be—for example, it is definitely easier to directly convert magic power into light and heat than to create matter, but the power is absolutely earth-shattering.

This is also one of the reasons why Roland is very interested in the ruins. The beam of light presented by the colorful magic stone looks like a special "command sending" method no matter how you look at it. Replacing witches with man-made objects, trying to forge instructions... The research on magic power can go so far, it is obviously beyond the level of the federation, aside from titles full of imperial connotations, such as the Chosen One and the Scourge Instrument, it may be It means the germination of new technology.

For this alone, he had to deal with Taquila witches.

Considering that it might bring a heavy blow to the other party, and even setback their confidence in fighting the devil, Roland decided to let Phyllis visit the power of the new era before in-depth negotiations.

In order to achieve a better "persuasion" effect, he called Iron Ax into the office.

"How about the recent appearance of evil beasts?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's all sporadic attacks, and the patrol team on the city wall can solve them." Sha Min replied after giving a standard military salute.

"Very well. I plan to hold an artillery exercise in the city wall area recently. It needs to have a huge scene and minimize waste as much as possible."

The Commander-in-Chief of the First Army pondered for a while, "You mean...false?"

Roland couldn't help laughing. It seems that Iron Ax's understanding of gunpowder has become more and more real. "To be precise, it is half true. When demonstrating accurate shooting, load live ammunition; when demonstrating fire coverage, use pre-buried black powder ,do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Iron Ax nodded immediately.

Blank bombs are commonly used in exercises. Since they are used to bluff people, there is no need to pour out the precious howitzers like water. The embedded explosives detonated by wires can also have a shocking effect, and even more good.

Roland briefly described the plan he had conceived in his mind, "I hope the final explosion will be eye-catching enough, so you can prepare more black powder for this."

"Your Majesty, this may affect the operations of the Artillery Battalion..."

He shook his head, "It's okay, in fact, I plan to gradually phase out black powder weapons, such as twelve-pound field guns, which are no longer suitable for future battles."

The heavy gun body, slow firing speed, and low power of solid bullets all restrict its further use. The battle under the Cold Wind Ridge fully demonstrated that the lethality of field artillery is very limited, especially in the face of scattered attacks and fast-moving enemies. Most of the God's Punishment Army fell under the machine guns and fortress artillery. The unlucky ones hit by the iron pellets were only about a hundred people.

In addition, it is difficult to transport, it is difficult to cooperate with infantry to attack, and it is difficult to carry out urban operations, and its use is becoming narrower and narrower. The revolver rifle can still be used for a while, but the gunpowder consumption of the bullets is much smaller, even if half of the inventory is consumed, it will not be affected.

With the help of the dream world, Roland's new chemical reform plan is already in preparation, and the steady increase in the production of double-based gunpowder has given him the capital to eliminate black powder weapons.

"Have you designed a new replacement weapon?" Iron Axe's eyes lit up.

Roland smiled and took out a blueprint from the drawer, spread it out on the table, "A kind of curved firepower that can be far and near, can be carried by several people separately, it is powerful, simple in structure, and easy to operate. What do you think? ?”

Iron Ax bent down and looked at the drawing for a while, "Uh... Sorry, Your Majesty, I can only see the appearance... It looks like an iron pipe. Can such a thin pipe really fire shells?"

"Of course, the key lies in the dedicated shells, but compared to the 152mm howitzer, its manufacture is still much simpler."

"Does the new weapon have a name?"

"You can call it a mortar," Roland replied.
