Chapter 479 New Weapons
Entering the courtyard, Yu Linglong found that there was no duel between alchemists as she had expected. Familiar people like Xia Fan and Yan Qing were sitting on the side of the stands. Instead, Her Royal Highness was talking to a group of people below the stage. In the crowd, she vaguely saw a strange spear, and there were several targets in the distance.
Rather than a martial arts arena, this place was more like a shooting range.
She was taken directly to the stands by the guards and sat down next to Yan Qing.
"How is it? Are you adapting to life in the south?" Xia Fan took the initiative to greet him, "If you feel stuffy in the villa, I can arrange someone to take you to Jinxia City for a stroll."
"Hey, he's asking you a question. If you don't answer, I'll tell you." Shadow muttered.
Yu Linglong came back to her senses and coughed twice, "Go aside first."
"What?"
As soon as the voice fell, Yu Linglong had already pulled Shadow away and regained control of her body. At the same time, the burning and tingling on her shoulder came. She frowned slightly, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "To be honest, it's better than I expected. I thought you would restrict my freedom of movement before everything is settled. After all... I haven't sworn allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess yet."
Yan Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Xia Fan also chuckled.
Yu Linglong looked at the two of them in confusion, "Did I say anything wrong?"
"The Qingjian in front of you has not sworn allegiance either." Xia Fan spread his hands, "Not only that, she also emphasized that she would not swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness - at least not before the Privy Council was collapsed."
But now she is in the same compound with the princess.
"So as long as they are high-level alchemists, you will treat them leniently?"
"Of course not." Xia Fan glanced at Yan Qing, "For example, this senior, although he said he would not be loyal to His Highness, when he was in charge of Baihe City, he not only stopped many sabotage incidents planned by the Privy Council, but also personally found an intelligence transmission node and arrested more than ten spies, making great contributions to the stability of Baihe City. Of course, she herself would not admit this, and she also pushed all the credit to Li-"
Speaking of this, Xia Fan suddenly stopped, because he saw that the other party's eyes had narrowed slightly.
"In short, Jinxia City pays more attention to what a person does, not what he says. You are willing to take the risk to go to Shangyuan to quell the war, and then inform us of the news of Yuyi, which has contributed to Jinxia." Xia Fan said frankly, "Whether it is His Highness or me, we believe that those who have made contributions should not be treated harshly."
Yu Linglong felt a warm current in her heart.
She had not expected this result in advance. She went to Qian just to do what she thought was right. Even if she was restricted in her actions later, she would not complain.
But this does not mean that she does not care about her personal honor and disgrace. She also hopes to be trusted by more people.
Especially the person in front of her.
Now she has the answer.
Because of this, Yu Linglong was a little embarrassed to change the subject, "Thank you. By the way... Princess, what are they doing?"
"Practicing the use of magic tools and testing the new weapons of the Machinery Bureau." Xia Fan replied.
"Magic tools? Is this a weapon that only alchemists can use?"
"You can think so. However, the theoretical knowledge involved is more complicated, and it takes a period of systematic learning before it can be activated."
This is also the reason why Xia Fan called all the potential alchemists in Jinxia to come and watch the test firing-he hopes that this thing can make everyone realize the importance of knowledge, and at the same time enhance the confidence of overseas allies.
The new weapon is considered to be the official version of the electromagnetic gun. The main module is a shock amplitude magic tool, plus a set of fully enclosed magnetic guide rails. The former was drawn by Xia Fan with reference to the immortal arts atlas, while the latter was developed by Mo Yun after repeated experiments and deliberations according to his requirements. The fully enclosed pipeline design reduces the magnetic leakage phenomenon, and the popularity of forging makes all its parts look square, with a sense of the future that transcends the times.
At the same time, the new weapon also takes into account a variety of application occasions. The auxiliary bracket equipped can be installed on the Xuanwu mechanical beast to attack, and can also be removed and used as a fixed sniper firepower.
However, compared with the simple prototype in the battle with the Dongsheng pirates, its improvement in the main structure is actually not great. Due to the limitations of smelting technology, the guide rail will still burn quickly under the action of strong current, and it can only be solved by replacing the barrel. The key to really making the new weapon enter the practical category is the shock magic weapon engraved with circuit diagrams.
This magic weapon fills the gap between non-shock magic. Even if the gas sensor cannot even perform the most basic streamer magic, it can fire the electromagnetic cannon after mastering the principle of electromagnetic force, and it does not affect its due power at all.
The only regret is that only Xia Fan can make this magic weapon at present.
Yu Linglong saw the princess walk to the gun again and lean over to hold the gun handle.
However, nothing happened after a while.
"What happened... Did you fail?" she asked.
"Your Highness has tried several times, but none of them worked." Yan Qing smiled faintly, "Unlike Li, who was able to successfully fire the first shot."
Yu Linglong seemed to catch a trace of pride from it.
Xia Fan was also quite puzzled. Ning Wanjun was definitely not stupid. She had worked hard in her studies. Although her scores in each theoretical exam were not high, they were all above the passing line. Why was she helpless when Mo Yun and Li could do it?
"Sir Xia Fan, can you let me try?" Someone suddenly stood up in the stands and said.
Yu Linglong looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned. The other party was obviously not from Qi. Not to mention the striking light blue curly hair, the two pointed long ears clearly showed his identity as a demon.
"Of course," Xia Fan made a gesture of invitation, "I also want to confirm whether the Eastern magic weapon is also effective for the islanders of the world."
After speaking, he lowered his voice and took the initiative to introduce Yu Linglong, "This is the elder Shuzhou who came from the far west, the high priest Senia."
"The west? No wonder it's like this..." Shadow glanced at Yu Linglong's chest, and then smacked his lips.
"Shut up." Yu Linglong said unhappily.
But she had to admit that this high priest had enough capital to attract the attention of the whole audience. When she leaned down, the martial arts arena seemed to be a little quieter.
After a while, the gun body trembled violently backwards, and a ball of bright red flames spurted out from the front!
But unlike firearms, this ball of flame did not bring out any smoke, and it flashed away so quickly that she thought she was dazzled.
Then a familiar roar came from the direction of the target.
Only then did Yu Linglong realize that those targets were not wooden boards at all, but were made up of thick iron plates, each several inches apart, forming a thick and solid wall. It is precisely because of this that the projectiles fired will make a high-pitched and piercing sound when they hit the target!
What shocked her even more was that the thickness of those iron plates was comparable to that of fingers, and only one piece could block the attack of bows and arrows and most firearms, but the moment the sound was made, bright sparks flew between multiple targets one by one, like a continuous stream of fire!
When the sparks fell to the ground, all the iron plates had holes of the same size.
