Chapter 144: The Nemesis of Magic Crystal Steam Weapons
Chapter 144: The Nemesis of Magic Crystal Steam Weapons
After the main technical personnel of the three guilds gathered together, they started a heated discussion. However, because everyone's research directions were different, no conflicts broke out. They just inspired each other and promoted each other. After more than three hours of discussion, the technical staff of the three guilds finally began to assemble the equipment, but there were a lot more complex equipment on the original experimental site.
"What are they doing? Why do I think there are more and more equipment?" Among the presidents of our three guilds, the Gunslinger has the weakest technical foundation, so he simply can't understand what these researchers are doing.
Ashford explained to him while staring at the researchers attentively: "The people in your guild seemed to have proposed some theory before, and then the senior scientist from Ziri's guild who was not at the scene seemed to give that theory to Improved, but because these things are newly made, the people in our guild did not expect to prepare the processing tools for those equipment, so they temporarily transferred some equipment from Ziri's guild. Now it seems that they are just assembling it I just don’t know what this thing will look like after it’s built.”
"Are they assembling weapons? Why doesn't it look like it?" The gunman asked in confusion while listening to Ashford's explanation and looking at the equipment being gradually assembled in the field.
I said for Ashford: "It doesn't look like a weapon, it seems to be some kind of auxiliary equipment."
"Auxiliary equipment? Didn't you say that you are good at making weapons?" The Gunslinger is an absolute offensive theorist. Basically, there is only the word "offensive" in his dictionary, so for him weapons are the first, and auxiliary equipment is naturally Best, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. Naturally, he couldn't be happier after watching these researchers assemble an auxiliary device after discussing for more than three hours.
"Can you stop being so impatient?" Ashford said, "I've been waiting for three days, and this is the time!"
The Gunslinger defended: "I'm not anxious. I'm worried! If what we create doesn't come in handy, then our work will be in vain!"
"Stop talking, it seems to have been assembled."
Following my words, the presidents of several other guilds present also immediately became energetic. To be honest, most of the presidents of these guilds are like gun gods. Let them fight each other to compete with each other, but let them do research. It's better to be like the Gunslinger. After all, the technical strength of their guild is displayed there. Even if you don't understand how much he usually has, you can always come into contact with it. But the same cannot be said for the presidents of other guilds. There are so many equipment piled there. , those people felt dizzy after seeing it. But now they finally heard that some equipment had been completed, and they became excited together. Although they didn't know much about technology, this did not prevent them from using the technological achievements.
What was newly assembled in the venue was a disgusting-looking piece of equipment. The reason why I use the word disgusting is mainly because the thing is covered with a layer of spiral transparent pipes, and there is a green liquid flowing in these pipes, plus the coiled pipes The shape makes this device look like a green poop from a distance. Do you think this shape can be disgusting?
"Damn, you pretended to be a pile of poop in more than three hours?" The president of an Indian guild next to him interjected. Of course, his words were followed by a circle of contemptuous looks.
"Hey, Woma, what on earth are you pretending to be?" I asked loudly from the stage.
When Woma heard my question, she glanced at me first, then suddenly said something to the person next to her, and then ran over. The surrounding presidents were also waiting to see the presentation of the results. Now that they saw a researcher coming, they naturally came over to hear what she had to say. However, Woma did not explain the principle and performance of this thing to us. She only said one sentence from beginning to end. "If you want to know what it is for, just use it."
We all think Woma's statement makes sense, especially the presidents of the "ignorant and unskilled" faction represented by Gunslinger. Anyway, even if Woma explained it to them, the bunch of technical principles and so on would be enough to stun them all, so it would be more direct to see the effects directly.
Soon after Woma ran to the stage, two people ran over carrying a box. Woma directed them to put the box on the ground and then lift the lid. Many presidents took two steps back when they saw the contents of the box, because the box contained nothing else but the magic crystal steam rocket made by the Japanese. This small rocket, which is similar to a large flying monkey, contains about 50 grams of compressed magic crystal steam. It will explode as soon as it hits the target. Its power is no less than a large-caliber artillery shell, which can easily penetrate less than one meter. The rock wall is absolutely terrifying.
"Everyone has seen this thing, so I won't explain it further." Woma took out a small rocket from it, and then said: "We seized this box from the Japanese. Now I'm here to give it to you." You guys demonstrate it." After saying that, Woma walked to the other side of the stage and released a small rocket towards the sand dunes in the distance. The rocket shot out with a whooshing sound, followed by a loud bang. Half of the sand dunes were cut off directly. This power is absolutely untrue. After releasing a magic crystal steam rocket, Woma said: "Everyone has seen that although the structure of this magic crystal steam rocket made by Japanese people is very simple, its power is not small at all. The Chinese guilds here are The presidents should all have experienced its power." At this point, Woma took out another rocket from the box, and then continued: "But now you don't have to worry anymore, because we will perfectly Solve the huge threat posed by the Japanese magic crystal steam rocket." Woma said, suddenly igniting the rocket in his hand and throwing it towards the machine that had just been assembled in front of everyone's horrified eyes. However, just when the small rocket flew near the machine, there was a sudden flash on the machine, and the surrounding space was instantly enveloped by a circle of blue aperture, and the rocket actually hit it directly. After getting on the machine, everyone was so frightened that they all shrank their necks and prepared for the coming big explosion. However, the reality is completely opposite to what we expected. The magic crystal steam rocket actually made a clanging sound after hitting the machine, and then fell directly to the ground without further ado.
"Dumb bomb?" The first reaction of the people around them was that they encountered a dumb bomb, but there were still some who reacted faster.
"No, it's not a dud. That machine can suppress the detonation of magic crystal steam weapons!"
This discovery was like detonating a magic crystal steam bomb among us, and the crowd started talking about it. Being able to suppress the detonation of the magic crystal steam weapon means that the magic crystal steam weapon is ineffective. If we can really do this, then we still have to worry about the magic crystal steam bomb? Anyway, the cost of magic crystal steam weapons is obviously not cost-effective to deal with a single enemy, and cities, battleships or armies can be equipped with this kind of defense equipment, which means that magic crystal steam weapons will be useless in the future.
"That's right." Woma stood up and explained: "This is a magic crystal energy stabilizer that we temporarily built based on the special phenomenon discovered by the technicians of the Holy Spear Alliance during the research process. It can make the magic crystal energy stabilizer within its range Crystal energy has become very stable, and magic crystal steam weapons are also a type of magic crystal energy and are also within the suppressed range. As long as this system is activated, no magic crystal energy weapons will be able to function, including those in the past. There is a magic crystal cannon. Moreover, this device also has a very powerful feature, that is, it is inductive. As long as magic crystal energy material enters its range, it will automatically start, which saves money. It saves our energy, we don’t have to turn it on all the time, and it can also play a role in confidentiality. As long as it is not activated, no one knows whether we have a protector or not.”
"Haha, this thing is so useful!" The Gunslinger was still worried that this auxiliary equipment would be useless. Unexpectedly, he came up with a super equipment that can completely suppress the magic crystal steam weapon. This news is simply better than the news. Winning the lottery is exciting.
Just as a group of us were hugging each other to celebrate the upcoming victory, Woma suddenly stopped us. "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
"Huh? What for? Is there anything wrong with this thing?" Looking at Woma's expression, it was obvious that there was a big problem, otherwise he would never be so calm.
After we all calmed down and focused our attention on her, Woma said: "As you can see, this kind of *** equipment can perfectly resist magic crystal steam weapons. It can be said that as long as there is this If it's a thing, you can treat the magic crystal steam weapon as a stone. But..." Woma deliberately made this but very long. "We're in some trouble now."
"What trouble?"
"That's the trouble." Woma took out a purple-red mud-like thing and said, "This is purple clay, a very special mineral mud. There is one in our magic crystal energy suppressor. The key components require a special element to produce, and this element can only be extracted from purple clay."
"What kind of problem is this? Just buy more purple clay." A fool interjected.
"The problem is that purple clay is not a mineral native to the Earth," Wolma continued.
"What? It's not the earth...?" At this point, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to the sky. The two huge planets above us, one black and one red, are hanging high in the sky, and our minds are also drifting to them. The red planet and the shadow planet are equivalent to the two copy maps of "Zero". Except for the monsters inside that ran out when they first appeared, they became more peaceful later on. However, players who tried to explore these two maps only brought back two pieces of information: 1. More experience and more treasures; 2. The monsters are very strong and perverted. Everyone is longing for and afraid of such a place, because neither planet has a teleportation array connecting the earth, so players will basically be resurrected when they get there. Once you hang there or get lost, , and may even be completely trapped there. Although I have entered those two planets, according to my point of view, although the monsters there have more experience, they are definitely not cost-effective compared to the degree of danger there. It's not like there aren't high-level monster areas on earth. If you really want to level up quickly, you can try your luck with high-level monsters. It's better than going there to die.
"Red planet or shadow planet?" I asked.
"It's on both sides." Woma said: "This kind of clay exists on both planets, but not on the earth."
"That means if you want to have this kind of magic crystal energy suppressor, you have to send people to mine this kind of clay, right?" Gunslinger asked.
"There is no need to send people to mine. The magic crystal energy stabilizer requires very little weight. Based on the content of this element in purple clay, the element extracted from one gram of purple clay is enough for us to produce a stabilizer."
"One gram per unit?" I thought for a moment and said, "We can sell magic crystal steam weapons to external parties, but this kind of equipment cannot be sold. It can never be sold to others except the guilds present, so it is not possible at all. It requires too much. Calculating one gram per unit, one ton of purple clay is enough to produce one million units. Our guilds won’t use that much no matter what, right?”
"That's not necessarily true." After Ashford finished speaking, he asked Woma: "What is the scope of action of this stabilizer?"
"The scope of action can be adjusted as needed, and we can even generate a stable area of any shape, so whether it is a city or a battleship, only one is enough. We can set the stabilizer according to the shape of the city or battleship The range of protection, and the range of the stabilizer has nothing to do with the amount of that element used, so no matter how large an area you need to protect, as long as it doesn’t need to be separated, just one machine and one gram of purple clay is enough.”
After hearing this, Ashford said: "If you put it this way, it really doesn't take much! One city only needs one, and the cities our guilds own together don't exceed 500, so it doesn't take much at all. Only battleships consume a little more, but I don’t think it is necessary to install it on small ships. The minimum installation on frigates is enough. When small ships encounter magic crystal steam weapons, they can hide near the big ships. They generally won’t be alone anyway. Take action. If you calculate it this way, not to mention one million units, not even one hundred thousand units will be needed."
"One hundred thousand units is only one hundred kilograms of purple clay. This amount is really not large. Just one person can bring it back. The problem is that both the shadow planet and the red planet are super dangerous areas. In such places, ordinary people If you go in, you probably won’t be able to get out, right?" said the president of an Indian guild.
"It's true that most people can't get out, but some people should be fine." As soon as another Indian guild president said these words, everyone else's eyes were focused on me and the gunner.
"Hey, isn't it? There is no teleportation array in a place like that. If we go in, we might not be able to get out!" The gunman was obviously hesitant. After all, that kind of place was too dangerous, but he was asked to give up the magic crystal energy to stabilize it. Qi seemed to feel it was a pity again.
"I've been to the red planet once." I said. "If the two of us work together, theoretically we should be able to handle it."
"Even if I agree, do you know where exactly this kind of clay can be found?" Gunslinger asked: "That's a planet! The map is so big that it has no borders. Do you want to go to a geological expedition team to explore it piece by piece?"
"There's no need for this." Woma said: "Our guild now has more than ten grams of this kind of purple clay. It was brought back by an adventurous player who went to the red planet. He knows the specific location. According to him There is a big mud pond there full of these things, with at least dozens of tons of reserves."
"Will he lead the way?" I asked.
Woma nodded. "We told him before we didn't know the purpose of this thing. If this substance is useful, we will let him serve as a guide. Of course, additional compensation will be required."
After listening to Woma's words, I immediately turned to the Gunslinger and said, "Your problem is now solved. Are you going or not?"
"Do I have a chance to refuse?" The gunman reluctantly agreed to the assignment. After all, his own guild also needed this thing.
If the magic crystal steam weapon is compared to a weapon made of high carbon steel, then the gunpowder weapon in the past was a weapon made of bronze. Both can be used to kill people, but the power is not at the same level. . As for the magic crystal energy stabilizer, it is equivalent to a set of invulnerable Celestial Silkworm Armor. If we can get purple clay, we can get this Celestial Silkworm Armor. Until the opponent develops a more powerful weapon, having it will make us almost invincible. This temptation is so great that the Gun God knows it. The red planet is extremely dangerous, so you are still prepared to take the risk and take a trip with me.
After hearing the gun god's agreement, I immediately said to Woma: "Then you go find the guide immediately, and we will set off as soon as possible."
"What about the rest of the weapons experiments?"
"What's all there?"
"Wait a mininute."
Soon after Woma returned to the experimental area, the technicians brought some strange things to us. Probably due to a rush for time, Woma did not introduce these weapons in detail as before. However, I feel that because of the magic crystal energy stabilizer, it seems that magic crystal steam weapons no longer have much meaning to us. Anyway, we have the "Celestial Silkworm Armor" which is a magic crystal energy stabilizer, but the enemies are all shirtless. In this case, it doesn't really make much difference whether we are holding an ordinary kitchen knife or a heavenly sword.
Most of the weapons developed by Woma and the others are actually conventional weapons, such as grenades and cannons. These are basic equipment. They are not much different from the weapons that used gunpowder before, but they are just more powerful. What has really been modified are the few remaining weapons.
The first special product is a gun, but I think it is more appropriate to call this thing an individual artillery. Its design concept is derived from an anti-materiel sniper rifle, but due to technical reasons, the caliber is much larger than that of actual anti-materiel weapons. Basically, it is a door cannon, but its size is relatively small. The structure of this weapon is not much different from that of an ordinary gun, except that the material is stronger and thicker. The key is the bullet it uses. This kind of bullet is specially made. The propellant and the front warhead are both filled with magic crystal steam. Therefore, the firing range is extremely terrifying, and the target will cause blast damage when it hits the target. Of course, this kind of thing is probably not used by other guilds except the Paladin League. After all, musketeers are a unique profession in the United States.
The second special weapon is a bit like a rocket launcher. This design idea comes from the magic crystal steam rocket made by the Japanese. However, what is different from their small rockets from earthen workshops is that this kind of thing we made is very powerful. The rocket fired was very large. It looked as thick as a man's arm, and its length reached 1.2 meters. Of course, as the size increases, the power will naturally increase a lot. This kind of rocket is more advanced than the Japanese small rocket in that it can set the launch distance, so it does not necessarily have to hit the target before it explodes, and there are two types of this rocket, one is to explode directly type, used to deal with fixed targets. Another kind has a lot of small ammunition inside. When it explodes, it will shoot out the bullets and ammunition, which can form a large killing area and is specially used to deal with dense crowds.
In addition to the above two special weapons, there is also a super weapon. This thing does not use magic crystal steam as an explosive, but converts it into energy. Since the reaction speed of magic crystal steam is faster than that of magic crystal stone, it can release energy explosively, and the designers of our guild took advantage of this feature to create a magic cannon. This cannon actually doesn't look like a cannon at all. Instead, it looks like a searchlight on a lighthouse. Its front is a round metal plate with a magic circle engraved on it, and behind it is an energy extractor. When the magic crystal steam is detonated, its energy will activate the magic array on the metal plate in front, thus achieving the effect of instant magic. Of course, which spell is fired depends on which magic array is used, so as long as the magic array is changed, the spell type can be changed. If the combination is good, this weapon may be more powerful than that magic crystal steam rocket launcher. sharp.
These are just temporarily assembled magic crystal steam weapons, and some more in-depth weapon designs are still on paper. However, due to production problems, we can't see the samples for the time being, so Gunslinger and I decided to go and make purple clay first. Let’s talk about it later.
Ten minutes later, when we arrived at Essinger and sent away the presidents of other guilds, Woma finally brought our guide.
"What's going on?" Looking at the large group of people following Woma, my brows instantly furrowed into a frown.
"That's it." A handsome young man who was following Woma suddenly stood up and explained: "I sold the purple clay that your guild bought last time, but I was not a People go there, and that’s my team.”
Seeing the guy's proud look, I held back my temper and said in a balanced tone: "Sorry, maybe Woma didn't explain it clearly to you. We just need a guide, not to take you on a mission, so we just need One person rather than a team.”
I thought that after saying this, the other party would immediately choose someone to be our guide. Who knew that the guy actually said in a more arrogant tone than me: "Sorry, I don't think you understand what I mean. We It’s a team, either you hire all of us or none of us.”
