Time passes day by day.
A week later, the wind tunnel laboratory was officially completed.
Richard appeared in the wind tunnel laboratory.
As you can see, the wind tunnel laboratory looks like a huge warehouse, with thick outer walls and tight inner walls. The core part is an independent cabin, which is similar to a tunnel, with a width and height of almost four meters and a length of more than ten meters.
Compared with a real full-scale wind tunnel laboratory, it is much smaller. After all, a full-scale wind tunnel laboratory for experimental aircraft can be up to more than ten meters wide.
Richard built the wind tunnel laboratory not to test aircraft, but to test miniature spell-seeking missiles. The current volume is more than enough.
After walking into the test cabin and standing in the center, Richard looked forward and saw that an entire wall was covered with metal fan blades. They were densely packed and the number was a bit scary.
This is the air outlet wall of the test cabin. When the switch is turned on, many metal fan blades will rotate crazily driven by the motor. By rotating, a large amount of air is pumped in, flows through the cabin at a constant speed, and is then discharged through the air outlet.
At a place slightly deviated from the wind outlet wall, an inconspicuous metal target stood, which was an auxiliary prop for this test.
After briefly checking various measures and finding no problems, Richard nodded with satisfaction and prepared for the formal test.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The sound of footsteps sounded. Richard walked to the wall, opened a hidden iron plate, exposed the control panel below, and pressed a few switches.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The metal fan blades on the air outlet wall slowly rotated, and a breeze appeared in the cabin, blowing towards me and getting stronger.
Richard stepped forward and walked back to the center of the cabin. He turned his hand and took out the second version of the improved miniature spell-tracking missile from the space iron ring.
It can be seen that the improved miniature spell-seeking missile has many changes in appearance compared with the previous version. Although it still resembles an arrow, its length has been increased, and a tail fin has been added to improve flight stability.
The magic patterns carved on the surface are also more complicated. In addition to the wind spell magic patterns that realize the flight function, after this period of research, Richard also carved the tracking magic patterns.
What realizes this function is a light spell.
Through light spells, you can control micro-spell tracking missiles to approach targets that block the light in front, and can make small corrections.
Although it is far from true tracking and cannot even be considered precision guidance, it is still barely usable.
Richard had no intention of making something like a miniature spell-tracking missile perfect in one go. The preparations have been made, and after a long period of continuous improvement, the finished product is finally achieved.
Thinking of this, Richard controlled the flow of free energy elements in his body, injected micro-spell tracking missiles, and activated the activation magic pattern on it.
"Buzz!"
The miniature spell-seeking missile shook slightly, and the magic patterns carved on its surface quickly lit up and began to generate power. Under the influence of wind spells, it separated from the palm and flew forward.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The metal fan blades installed on the air outlet wall rotate faster and generate stronger wind force, which acts on the body of the miniature spell-seeking missile.
The miniature spell-seeking missile swayed slightly, but it did not lose control like the last time. Instead, it traveled retrograde in the flowing air at a relatively slow relative speed, approaching the metal target a few meters ahead.
One meter, two meters, three meters...
The micro-spell tracking missile was getting closer and closer to the metal target.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The rotation speed of the metal fan blades on the air outlet wall increased again. According to the preset program, it reached the highest speed. Immediately, an unprecedented strong wind blew towards the face, blowing on the miniature spell-seeking missile body.
The miniature spell-seeking missile was shaking uncontrollably, almost on the verge of losing control, but it did not lose control after all, and continued its difficult retrograde motion. It just seemed that due to lack of motivation, the forward trend was offset little by little, began to stop, and finally even retreated.
At this moment, a circle of magic patterns at the front of the projectile suddenly brightened, which was a sign that the light spell magic patterns were locked on the target and fully activated.
In fact, the real magic pattern effect of light spells has a large effective range, and the target can be locked the moment the missile is activated.
However, in order to better and more comprehensively test the micro-spell tracking missile, Richard made certain modifications to the light spell pattern, so that the magic pattern would not really take effect until a few seconds after it was activated.
And now once activated, the micro-spells track all the magic patterns on the surface of the missile and begin to flash at an ultra-high frequency. All the free energy elements stored in the missile all flow out and act on the wind spell magic patterns, causing the missile to enter lock-in. The sprint phase of the goal.
The speed of the micro-spell tracking missile increased dramatically, breaking through the obstruction of the strong wind in the blink of an eye, and like a black light, it quickly hit the target.
"boom!"
With a crisp sound, the micro spell-seeking missile came into contact with the metal target, and then blasted into the inside of the metal target, but... it did not explode.
Yes, there was no explosion.
The main purpose of Richard's wind tunnel test this time was to study the shortcomings of the missile body. As for the warhead to release its power, he had to wait until the missile body was successfully researched, and it was not installed.
Therefore, the whole experiment seemed a bit boring.
There was no huge momentum, no amazing explosions, just the "whisking" of the metal fan blades turning, and the "whooshing" of the strong wind, and it came to an end after a crisp sound.
But for Richard, this was more exciting than detonating a ton of high explosives.
Within ten seconds, he watched the entire operation process of the miniature spell-tracking missile in detail, and memorized every detail and defect.
Although the micro-spell-tracking missile does seem to have many shortcomings, in the end, the moment when the micro-spell-tracking missile crossed a small arc and accurately hit the metal target, everything was covered up.
Through this collision, it has been proven that his design idea of micro-spell-tracking missiles is correct. This is a path that can be taken.
The combination of scientific thinking and magical effects allowed him to successfully produce the cutting-edge weapons on earth in another form in the current wizarding world.
Although, this weapon is still very crude and can only be regarded as a flying object with little power at present.
But after taking this crucial first step, the future will be smooth. As long as you are willing to invest time and energy, any amazing creation may appear.
For example, Freezing Spell Missile. A powerful water ice branch magic pattern is carved on the warhead to control its flight. Once it hits the target and explodes, what is released is not fire at all, but bone-chilling cold air, freezing dozens or hundreds of meters in radius.
For example, invisible spell missiles. On the projectile, there are light magic patterns that can refract light, wind magic patterns that can neutralize sound and air fluctuations, and breath-concealing magic patterns. Let the magic missile be launched, completely undetectable, and even the launcher cannot determine its location. Only after successfully hitting the enemy will it reappear and then display its terrifying power.
For example, Karma Magic Missile. On the missile body, a prophetic spell missile is engraved on it, and the target is selected, and once launched, it is no longer necessary to ignore it. Because, under the powerful influence of fate, the spell missile will definitely hit the target.
Another example is the space spell missile. Engraving some kind of space magic pattern on the warhead turns the warhead into a space container. After hitting the target, the enemies will think that there will be a powerful explosion and dodge one after another. But he didn't expect that hundreds of magic knights would jump out and sweep across everything with roars.
