Amber, a perennial wild half-elf, avoids light, loves darkness, has the habit of stealing, is omnivorous and eats a lot, likes to play around, and will enter a state of dementia after playing around to a certain extent, and then be chased and beaten.
Like now.
As soon as the three words "old rice dumpling" came out, Gawain hadn't realized what was going on, but Hetty had already reacted first. The butler led by Cecil glared at him and waved his staff, and a strong murderous aura permeated the air. .
Amber herself also reacted in a jerk at this time, but she took a look at Hetty and began to hold on: "Who are you scaring, if you have the ability, you shoot a frost arrow in my face..."
Then Hetty swung the staff round and knocked it out seven or eight meters...
Who said that mages can only rub ice arrows and big fireballs? Which mage from Cecil's family can't master the thirty-six-way sabbatical stick technique? Amber still doesn't have much dealings with the Cecil family. She must know that Hetty and Rebecca's staffs have blood grooves on them, so she must not dare to jump like this...
"You've insulted my spells, and you've insulted my ancestors!" Hetty was a little anxious this time, staring at her staff and swinging her staff vigorously. Since the tense Rebecca took care of the family business, she has seldom been so free-handed, but anyone who understands Cecil's family traditions and ancestral training should know that the elegant Ms. Hetty is really urgent. You can use the wand as a warhammer, "Don't think that if you can't hit you with magic, you and I will have nothing to do, look at me..."
Amber was immediately chased and beaten, screaming, but fortunately, Gao Wen had already reacted at this time, and hurried to interrupt the farce: "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, Hetty, you don't know this guy Your mouth doesn’t have a door, and when you are beaten, Amber, you take off the heat ray gun first, what if the sample you finally got is damaged?”
Amber: "…"
Hetty glared at Amber, and then lowered her head to Gao Wen: "Ancestor, you really should discipline this guy, she doesn't respect you very much now."
"Oh, I shouldn't have taught you the word 'old rice dumpling'," Gao Wen sighed, and turned to look at the gauntlet equipped on Hu Po's hand. "Let's take a look at this thing first. used?"
Amber fiddled with the thermal energy ray gun in her hand, aimed at a distant target and pulled the trigger again. As a result, this time, another scorching beam shot out from the gauntlet and hit the distant target.
Amber frowned: "It seems to work again?"
But then she fired a few more shots, and the beam failed again after the third shot.
"I probably understand what's going on." Gawain nodded, and raised his hand to greet the huge silver-white funnyman who was standing by at the edge of the field, "Nicholas egg, come and help open this part of the shell."
The reason was soon discovered.
It is because the recharging speed of the magic power capacitor cannot keep up with the consumption of continuous shooting, and the magic power in the magic storage crystal is exhausted.
The "magic capacitor" designed by Gao Wen is essentially an energy device that is constantly and automatically charged, but the charging speed is stable and slow. Its recharging speed is constant, and the upper limit of capacity is also constant. The honeycomb magic net unit can temporarily store the magic power in the crystal, so that it can supply energy for the magic circle with high energy consumption, but as long as these magic circles with high energy consumption continue to operate, the energy consumption speed will inevitably exceed the crystal's charge. can speed.
When the thermal energy ray gun shoots continuously, the capacitor must be exhausted, and it needs to wait for slow recharging before it can be used again.
"So that's what happened." Looking at the gray-white magic storage crystal on the magic power capacitor slot, Hetty nodded, "It's true, normal magic props are like this, the continuous release of magic is limited, and the magic power is limited. It needs to be replenished after use, and it seems that the thermal energy ray gun is also the same."
"But absolutely not!" Gawain shook his head seriously.
Rebecca looked blank: "Why not? Aren't all magic props like this?"
"Those are traditional magic props, such as a ring that can only hold six fireballs a day, and a shield symbol that can only be used three times a day, but I want to say that those things must be eliminated." Gawain shook his head, "The battlefield In fact, whoever's weapon is damaged first will die, and the magic power reserve of the thermal energy ray gun is the same, so we must find a way to make them fight continuously for a longer period of time."
Knight Byron who came over to check the situation also nodded in agreement: "The enemy on the battlefield will not give you a few hours to slowly charge your magic power capacitor."
"We have found the first place that can be modified." Gawain opened his mind and found his familiar rhythm again. He looked at Hetty, Rebecca, and Jenny standing behind them, "You know What is the biggest difference between this brand new 'magic weapon' and traditional magic props?"
Jenny: "Cheap?"
Hetty: "Easy to use?"
Rebecca: "That's a cool name!"
"The difference is that once the magic power of a traditional magic item is exhausted, you either have to wait for it to recover on its own, or you have to find a mage to infuse it, and this thing we created..." Gawain casually Pull out the crystal from the slot of the magic power capacitor, and take out another magic storage crystal that is usually used as a walnut to play with, and plug it in. "In case of emergency, you can refresh the number of spells at any time... Why can't it be plugged in?"
Rebecca explained seriously: "...Master Ancestor, you didn't say that the crystal on the magic capacitor can be replaced, so Eggy made the slots disposable when combining them, just now you pulled out the crystal Time has deformed the base."
Hetty next to him hurriedly took the second half of the sentence: "Of course, the slot can be adjusted. This is completely a small problem. The idea proposed by you, ancestor, is more important!"
Gao Wen: "..."
He couldn't remember the last time he pretended to be aggressive.
But he quickly ignored this embarrassment, and just got back to the topic with a stern face: "Hetty, record the revised opinion: There is a hole in the position of the magic power capacitor that can be opened and closed easily, so that soldiers can quickly replace it on the battlefield. Depleted crystals. In this way, in low-intensity or short-term battles, the magic power capacitor that comes with the thermal energy ray gun can complete the battle, and in emergency situations, you can rely on external energy to continue fighting."
Hetty recorded it, but then frowned: "Ancestor, the reason why you designed the structure of the magic capacitor was to solve the two problems of the low output of the magic grid unit and the short storage period of the inferior crystal, but If soldiers are to change crystals on the battlefield, how should the magic power in the 'spare crystals' they carry be maintained? Should they use expensive high-quality magic storage crystals as spare crystals?"
"That's putting the cart before the horse." Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, "The low-quality magic storage crystals produced in huge quantities are the magic weapons of the armed army. The low-quality crystals you mentioned will dissipate energy by themselves when soldiers carry them. Let’s design a carrying method that can avoid escape, shall we?”
Gao Wen just reminded it a little bit, and Rebecca's brain was already running quickly, and after a few seconds of running, "ding" suddenly came up with an idea: "We can design a large-scale capacitor similar to a magic capacitor. 'Capacitor', for example, a box composed of many magic mesh units, the function is to store crystals and slowly charge the crystals, and put ten or eight spare crystals in it, as long as the substrates are made thinner, the weight You can bring a storage box like this without reducing one or two spare swords more than the spare swords that soldiers usually carry.”
Knight Byron, who was originally not very interested in thermal energy ray guns, was also attracted by this discussion, and involuntarily followed Rebecca's words: "In this way, the magic storage crystals carried by the soldiers will not slowly dissipate energy, Instead, they have been recharging. They put the replaced depleted crystals back into the container. Maybe they can refill one during the battle. In a battle that lasts longer, this extra crystal may save them. Life!"
"The combat backpack that matches the heat ray gun..." Gawain smiled, and looked at Rebecca, "The principle of this thing is very simple, but the magic net unit must be lightweight, and the charging efficiency must also be kept unchanged. , its design will be handed over to you.”
Rebecca proudly threw her staff on the ground and raised her face: "Don't worry, my lord ancestor! I'm really good at this! It can be done in a few days!"
This momentum seems to be planning to rush out of the city with a sledgehammer and kill seven in and seven out...
"In addition, we have to enhance the 'versus' and 'extensibility' of the thermal energy ray gun," Gawain nodded, letting Heidi continue to record, and at the same time telling Nicholas Dan, "Let the mechanical manufacturing The thermal energy ray gun is disassembled into components that can be mass-produced. My requirement is: most of its components should be easily disassembled and replaced. The processing difficulty of each part should be low and durable, especially hot If the base plate of the ray is possible, we should design this base plate and the magic material connected to the base plate into a standard structure that can be combined at will. It can also be plugged into other general-purpose substrates, turned into other weapons, or even turned into other armor and tools. I call this modularity."
Hetty's pen stopped involuntarily, and she opened her eyes slightly: she heard the word modularization from Gao Wen more than once, but until this time, she seemed to finally realize what it could achieve.
While heat ray guns and combat backpacks were gradually being discussed and matured, an outsider set foot on this land in the west of New Cecil Territory.
Here is a strong man with a great presence:
He had short, light brown hair, unkempt and messy on the top of his head, and his beard seemed to have been shaved, but it was so carelessly shaved that stubble of varying lengths still remained on his chin. Weathered, it has lost its luster, but it has a kind of perseverance, and in his deep eye sockets, those eyes have a brilliance that ordinary people of this era do not have.
Compared with this appearance, what is more noticeable is the state and clothing of this man:
He is dusty, but full of energy. He is dressed in the costume of the priest of the Church of the Holy Light, but the robe that should be gorgeous looks shabby. He has a Bible on his waist and a holy emblem on his chest. He looks like a priest. Tall and strong like a warrior.
The priest of Holy Light, who was so strong that he seemed to be able to punch a cultist to death, was walking on the gravel road in Cecil's collar. His shoes were worn out from the long journey. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down. The document that has been opened in the hand:
I hereby appoint the faithful servant of the Lord, priest of the Holy Light, Wright Aviken, to go to the southern border to preach the teachings of the Lord and spread the way of the Holy Light.
