Chapter 2732 Far East Wing Cavalry (Ⅲ)
Most of the enchanting crafts of Husbands are copied from Steel Cavalry, and some spells are added to adapt to the air combat scene.
Every time an enchanting link is added, the magic crystal corresponding to the spell ring spell will be spent as an enchanting stabilizer, which is actually a kind of "enabling material".
A large part of the construction cost of the hussars was spent on these new enchanting links, including a set of "levitation skills" that were upgraded to the seventh level, which especially aroused Joan's interest.
Wait, it's not just as simple as "Levitation", but also adds a rare empowerment material, which is a bit interesting!
When Joan was fascinated, Jack raised the pointer and continued to explain.
"As Dr. Vader pointed out, crystal steel won't take up too much money. The real money is spent on enchanting crafts. You know, even sending a mechanical armor that has been reduced to two tons into the sky is not an easy task. It's an errand!"
"Jack, I noticed that the hussars have a constant 2-ring 'levitation technique'. This technology has been applied to magical airships many years ago, and it is already very mature. It is not as difficult as you said, right?" Roland proposed question.
"Your Majesty, if the airship's floating technology is directly transplanted to the hussars, everything will be fine. Why do we need to spend so much brains!"
The dwarf alchemist shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Mr. Jack's words are reasonable. The size gap between the magic airship and the mechanical armor is too large to be simply compared."
After Joan made his statement, he noticed Roland's consulting eyes and continued to explain.
"A huge airship cannot be sent to the sky with just one or two 'Levitation Techniques'. It needs to install hundreds of sets of anti-gravity modules attached to 'Levitation Techniques', which are fixed to various parts of the load-bearing frame to form a joint force. Let's push the airship into the sky together."
"The driving system of the airship integrates all these floating modules to form a matrix. The driver can open or close any set of floating modules by issuing instructions on the console, and then adjust the suspension height of the airship to take off and land smoothly. and change direction."
"The floating module system must retain a safety margin to ensure that the airship can still maintain flight even when some floating modules fail in battle or bad weather. In addition, there is a complete set of spare floating modules on the airship Empty modules, used to replace failed module groups when necessary."
"Your Majesty, this complex system of stacking beds and houses is only suitable for super-giant aircraft such as airships and even floating cities, but it cannot be used on individual equipment such as Husbands, otherwise Hussars are just a flashy show. It can't be used in actual combat at all."
In fact, Jinli, the "Adamantine Colossus" in Cloud City, uses this kind of matrix floating module, but the enchanting process uses a more advanced "anti-gravity field" than the "floating technique".
Roland nodded, and followed Joan's thinking to analyze.
"The more complicated the system is, the more likely it is to fail. The airship is just an air vehicle. It does not need to perform combat actions such as rapid rolling and diving in the air. It is enough to maintain a stable flight. Therefore, the probability of failure of the floating system is not high. On the contrary , if this system is installed on the hussars and is subjected to a severe impact during air combat with enemy flying units, the floating modules distributed throughout the body are prone to failure, causing the body to lose control."
"That's right, Your Majesty, the airborne system of the Winged Cavalry cannot be made too complicated. The fewer floating modules installed, the higher the robustness. It is best to install only one set of floating modules—this Winged Cavalry That’s what the prototype is for.”
Jack said, waving the pointer.
"Is that true? I'm afraid not."
Roland shook his head and chuckled, then asked a sharp question.
"The hussars are only equipped with a set of floating modules. In my opinion, the risk is even greater. For example, if the enemy casts a 'dispersion technique' on them and temporarily suppresses the magic power of the floating modules, wouldn't the hussars be about to experience a plane crash? ?”
"Your Majesty, we have also thought about this problem. After spending a lot of thought and experimenting thousands of times, we finally found a solution."
"For this purpose, we need to use a special kind of gem called 'wind spar'. When casting 'levitation', add a pound of wind spar as the material for casting the spell, and you will not be affected by 'dispel' or even 'advanced dispel'. 'Impact."
"Wind spar" is the empowering material that Joan analyzed on the Winged Cavalry just now. It is a supernatural crystal formed by mineral crystals soaked in the magic power of wind element for a long time. It is very rare in the material world, and usually can only go to the "wind element world" looking for.
Mining ores in the wind elemental world, transmission and transportation costs are quite high. The price of each pound of "wind spar" on the cloud network is no less than 3000 gold thaler. Except for magic crystals and diamonds, Joan has never seen more expensive than this enabling material.
The magic of this kind of gemstone is that it can be used as a spell-casting material, combined with any spell related to keywords such as "gas", "airflow", "floating", "flying", etc., to transform the spell effect into a "supernatural effect"!
The same floating effect can be dispelled if it belongs to the magic category, but it cannot be dispelled if it belongs to the supernatural category. Just like the so-called "magic immunity" of the golem, it can only resist magic attacks, and it cannot defend against supernatural attacks with the same effect.
Jack and Kafta used the "wind spar" to strengthen the "levitation technique", which is to take advantage of such a loophole of attribute transformation.
The "Levitation Spell", which has been strengthened by the "Wind Crystal" to a supernatural attribute, will still be suppressed by the "Anti-Magic Field" and "Disintegration Spell", but there is no need to worry about it, after all, strong people who are good at such high-level spells The enemies are few and far between, so we cannot expect to send hussars to deal with them.
To be honest, the Hussar is at best a mid-range construct, a mass-produced model for elite soldiers to drive. The imaginary enemy is the enemy's air force. If the enemy is forced to use the 8-ring "anti-magic field" or even the 9-ring " Cracking Technique", even if it is blown up, it is worth it.
As for the "Levitation Technique", why did it have to be upgraded to the 7th level?
In the following explanation, Jack gave sufficient reasons.
"The unit of level 2 'Levitation' is hundreds of pounds. On the premise that only one set of floating modules is installed, unless the caster's level is as high as 80, it is impossible to send a hussar weighing 4 tons Sky!"
"In order to solve this problem, we have to upgrade the 'Levitation' to level 5, and use the remaining magic power obtained after the upgrade to increase the burden of 'Levitation' to 1,000 pounds per casting level. , a level 8 spellcaster can levitate a 4-ton hussar.”
"That's not all. The duration of the 'Levitation Technique' is in minutes. If the hussars can only fly in the air for a few minutes before they are forced to land, then it won't be of any practical value."
