After several days of design, improvement and trial production, Rebecca excitedly sent the first set of heat ray guns and combat backpacks with actual combat performance to Gao Wen.
"This is the result!" Miss Viscount was full of pride, she seemed very satisfied with her result, "Have a look?"
Gawain looked at the things Rebecca brought, and the first thing that caught his eye was the silver-white gauntlet. Compared with the rough and primitive "prototype machine", the finished thermal energy ray gun looked closer to Gawain. The appearance of Brain Repair Time, its shape is more in line with human aesthetics. It is shaped like an expanded and thickened plate armor arm. The upper part of the arm guard can see the ellipsoidal expansion, which is the place where the magic capacitor and the scorching ray substrate are accommodated. , and the lower part of the arm guard is a buckle for adjusting the tightness and fixing the body.
In addition, its magic capacitor and rune substrate are also designed to be detachable to ensure that the energy crystal or core magic unit can be replaced at any time.
Compared with the prototype, it has an aiming mechanism added to the front end, and the metal wire and finger cot used to activate the rune trigger have also been replaced with a more reliable and sturdy grip rod. The safety is linked with the grip rod. When the safety lock is locked Down, the grip will also be retracted to the lower part of the gauntlet, so that it will not affect the soldier's normal combat movements.
According to Rebecca, after adjusting the internal runes and refining the quartz pillar, its effective range has finally been increased to 340 meters to 370 meters. There is still room for optimization. As the world's first "long-range firearm", its range and power surpassed the early firearms on Earth, but Gawain knew very well that this was because it was born in a world with magic power Well, the blessing of magic power makes many weapons in this world ridiculously powerful. If the thermal energy ray gun can't reflect the advantages in this respect, then there is no need for it to be born.
After all, the early muskets on the earth had to deal with earthlings wearing ordinary metal armor, while the heat ray guns here had to deal with not only ordinary soldiers, but also superhumans wearing enchanted equipment and even supporting energy shields...
Then, his eyes fell on the "combat backpack" brought by Rebecca.
From the appearance, it looks like a strangely shaped hard "school bag", or luggage. The outer leather is made of cowhide, and the inner should be lined with a metal frame and metal plate, so it looks hard and crisp. The buckle can obviously be fixed on the outside of the soldier's armor, and the cuboid backpack is divided into upper and lower parts. Gawain was a little puzzled about this.
"The upper one is a normal backpack," Rebecca explained, "it can be used as a marching bag, with dry food, water bags, flint, ointment and other things in it, and the lower backpack is for crystals. Look, the backpack When you put it on, the lower part is just at the back waist, and you can reach it by stretching your hand back. You can take out the spare crystal from the opening on the side. The crystal is sandwiched by two metal plates, arranged in order inside, and after taking out one Put the depleted crystals in from the other end of the backpack, and you can push them out one by one. I stuffed twelve magic net units into the whole backpack, theoretically, it can charge twelve crystals at the same time, and then If there is too much, it can be stuffed... but the charging efficiency is too low, and soldiers should not be able to use up so much energy in one battle."
Gawain looked at the combat backpack designed by Rebecca, and suddenly his heart moved: "Have you thought of other functions of this backpack?"
"Other functions?" Rebecca scratched her hair and didn't turn the corner all of a sudden. "You mean to add a strong strap to it, so that it can be thrown out to hit people? Then its weight will have to be..."
"Don't be so straight-minded, what if someone suspects it's heredity?" Gawain covered his forehead with one hand, "Didn't you realize that when a lot of crystals are stuffed into this backpack, it can be regarded as a huge Is your magic capacitor gone?"
Rebecca was taken aback when she heard the words, and came out after a while: "That's right! You can still look at it like this!"
Immediately afterwards, she became excited: "Doesn't that mean that if this backpack is used to directly supply energy, it can carry larger magic?!"
"Such a large volume cannot be wasted," Gawain looked at the combat backpack, "In addition to storing crystals and providing magic power for soldiers on the battlefield, it can also integrate some array substrates into it. Think about it, if we What about installing a magic shield on it? Or what about installing a breeze shield for filtering poisonous gas? Or, we engrave a magic circle on the armor of the soldier to enhance defense and physical strength, and then leave a The external magic interface, after the backpack is connected to the armor, every soldier is equivalent to following a military priest who constantly releases enhanced spells for them for 24 hours... and these basic spells consume very little energy. As far as the backpack with twelve magic mesh units is concerned, it will not affect its charging speed at all. Or it will affect it a little...but it is quite worthwhile for the overall benefit."
The more Rebecca listened, the more surprised she became, and at the end she couldn't help opening her mouth wide: "Master Zu, why do you think every one of your thoughts is so touching!?"
Gao Wen smiled, and his face was as solemn as ever: "The wisdom of the elderly, the wisdom of the elderly..."
Before Gao Wen could finish chattering, Rebecca had already grabbed the combat backpack: "Then I'll go back and redo the design of the backpack!"
"You'll be back later!" Gawain hurriedly stood up and called out to this super-active silly roe deer, "Have you created a new rune substrate now?!"
Rebecca turned around in a daze, analyzed carefully, and suddenly said, "No!"
"A total of 1 scorching ray has been analyzed. What are you stuffing into the backpack in such a busy schedule?" Gawain waved his hands dumbfoundingly, "What I just said is included in the next generation backpack plan, and now this one is directly Put it into production, let the soldiers form combat effectiveness first is the most important thing."
"Oh..." Rebecca nodded and obediently agreed.
Gawain waved his hand: "When you go back, go find Heidi and ask her to come over."
Not long after, Hetty came to Gawain's tent.
"Ancestor, are you looking for me?"
"I want to ask you about the missionary's situation, what he has been doing these two days, who he has been in contact with, and whether he has left the territory or passed on information..." Gawain raised his head from the document, "... you What's wrong?! In order to practice the accuracy, I finally smashed myself with a big fireball?!"
He stared dumbfounded at Hetty standing in front of him, and saw that the latter was so embarrassed that he didn't look dignified and calm in the past. Not only did his hair look very messy, but there were also some gray and black marks on his face, and even his clothes were heavy or heavy. The different scorched marks looked like they had been hit by a big fireball.
... Rebecca's iron-headed silly girl must have used some very creative method to call her aunt over, right
Hetty had already tried her best to take care of her hair and face with magic, but she obviously didn't have time to clean up all the traces when she came here in a hurry. At this time, she couldn't help the corners of her mouth trembling when she heard Gawain's words: "Rebecca I was doing an experiment when I broke into the lab..."
Gao Wen: "..."
Although it's different from what I imagined, it doesn't seem to be much different.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Gao Wen asked cautiously, "Have you beaten it?"
"I've beaten it, I'll beat it again when I go back."
"...be gentle, you are already a big girl."
"I try my best."
Gao Wen coughed twice: "Ahem, let's get down to business first."
"Yes," Hetty took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to report on the missionary's situation, "The pastor named Wright hasn't left the territory for the past few days, and he hasn't acted suspiciously. He gets up earlier than everyone else every day. Some, mainly praying and physical exercise, followed by breakfast like the others, went to the construction site. We didn't assign him any work, but he took the initiative to find the foreman, and now he is moving bricks in the newly planned market block, almost already permanent workers there."
Gao Wen found it interesting: "...is he so proactive in wanting to work?"
"Yes, I asked the soldiers to chat with him. The missionary said that he did this because of the guidance of the Holy Light, because the Holy Light taught people that hard work should be exchanged for food. He has not yet established a church. , the permission to hold sacraments, and pray for the territory, so physical labor must be exchanged for food."
"He really said that?" Gao Wen felt incredible.
Hetty nodded: "That is indeed what I said, and I also did so."
"... These are indeed what the Church of the Holy Light preaches on a daily basis, but I firmly believe that there are not many clergymen who are still practicing. They are just using these rhetoric to fool the common people into doing voluntary labor or collecting donations for the church," Gao Wen shook his head, " So is he preaching?"
"I don't know if that counts as preaching," Hetty said with a strange expression on his face, "He... is really used to talking about the way of the Holy Light, and occasionally he will say it when he uses divine magic to heal people. May the Holy Light protect you and other words, but he doesn’t look like he is preaching seriously. Only when he meets believers who really believe in the God of Holy Light, he will seriously explain the teachings, but when he meets unbelievers, He just laughed it off."
Gao Wen frowned: "Did the person sent to Tanzan Town send back any news?"
"I've come back. Our people asked the pastor there at the Holy Light Church in Tanzan Town, and confirmed that there was indeed a missionary named Wright Aviken who came from the Holy Spirit Plain and traveled in the southern border, and his characteristics were the same, but according to My guess..."
Hetty paused when she said this, and shook her head: "This guy named Wright is not so much sent out to preach, it might be better to say he was kicked out by the Central Church, otherwise he wouldn't be like this."
"To be honest, I guess it's the same," Gao Wen shook his head dumbfoundingly, "Even in the rigid and strict Church of the Holy Light, it is inevitable that such unusual characters will appear."
"Ancestor, how do you plan to arrange this missionary?" Hetty asked curiously, "It's not the way to just leave him like this?"
"Wait another two or three days, if there is still no problem, I will see him," Gao Wen laughed, "There can also be a church in our territory."
