Chapter 298: Orbital Accelerator

Gao Wen would always come up with some inexplicable sentences and words, and sometimes even phrases that others could understand would be combined into an incomprehensible state in his mouth. Amber had long been used to this situation, and Her method of dealing with these obscure sentences is also very simple-that is, to give up thinking.

"Just tell me what it is," Hu Po rolled her eyelids, "A new magical machine? An alchemy device? Or the weapon you mentioned last time?"

"The report on magic machinery and alchemy equipment will not have the logo of the Military Industry Machinery Institute." Gao Wen smiled and pointed to the top of the report, then stood up, "Come on, let's go and have a look at this brand new weapon .”

At the weapons testing ground on the south bank of the Baishui River, relevant preparations have already been made.

What was sent to Gao Wen was a report indicating that the finished product had been assembled and was waiting for the lord's acceptance. At the same time that the report was delivered, Hetty had already ordered the personnel from the Mechanical Research Institute and the Weapons Testing Field to carry out the first inspection. Test ready. When Gao Wen and Amber arrived at the test site, the area was already blocked by the soldiers of the Cecil Combat Corps, and they informed the residents in the northeastern part of the city about the weapon test in advance—the new equipment of the Cecil Collar is often accompanied by There was a huge explosion, so under normal circumstances, an advance notice is necessary.

This is a weapon that Gao Wen placed high hopes on, and it was an "expedited and aggravated project" that was put on the agenda after the second Cecil defensive battle. All the onlookers rushed to the scene, including Byron and Philip, the two phase... knights, as well as the technical leaders such as Jenny, Kamel, and Nicholas Dan. Of course, Hetty and Rebecca were also on the scene.

This is the case in the initial stage of entrepreneurship. There are only a few people in the top team, and because of insufficient manpower, they often need cross-help, so that whenever there is a big achievement, they all come to watch.

As soon as Gao Wen showed up, Rebecca trotted happily to meet him: "My lord ancestor! My lord ancestor! The 'art launcher' you want is ready!"

When Gao Wen chatted with the silly roe deer last time, he couldn't help mentioning "explosion is art", but this girl was directly misleading...

Gawain pressed Rebecca's head, and his eyes fell on the war machine that had just stepped off the mechanical assembly platform.

It is very large, with a three-meter-long acceleration orbit and a total height of nearly two meters. Its shape is very similar to the theoretical model that Gao Wen built in the "simulation experiment field" before, but the details are very different.

It has four metal rails arranged in parallel, which are still fixed on the base according to the cross structure. The orbits simulated in the environment are different, and the entire acceleration-orientation structure in front of us has been additionally reinforced. There are three "fixing rings" made of strong steel plates that firmly combine the four guide rails. Judging from the shining magic runes, they probably also have the function of assisting the rails to release waste energy and reduce magic interference.

The entire acceleration structure is installed on a roughly triangular base, which is covered with steel plates. Although it is only a prototype, the powerful metal control ability of the Nicholas egg still makes this base look very standard and precise. Its On the side, you can see the lines formed by the slightly shining magic material, and at the rear, you can see the joystick for control and the handle that can be shaken. In the part connecting the triangular base and the acceleration structure, Gawain noticed a huge The gears and shafts are obviously used to adjust the elevation angle of the orbit.

"According to your drawings and improvement suggestions, I redesigned its adjustment mechanism so that it can adjust the pitch angle in a wider range, and the base also reserves a rotating disk connected to the gun position, which can eventually make the whole The cannon can be rotated freely," Nicholas' funny egg floated over, and there was a metal trembling sound from the sphere, "the "cannon sight" you mentioned is added to the upper positioning rail. In addition, Kamel has also redesigned the rune arrangement of the accelerated track to be more conducive to the release of waste energy, which can improve the overall lifespan of the track."

Gawain turned his head and glanced at Kamel, thinking that this ancient magister was really obsessed with "lifespan"...

"This is the 'cannonball' it uses," Kamel seemed to have guessed what Gao Wen was thinking, and broke the silence with a slightly embarrassed voice. A metal magic device was presented to Gawain, "I prepared a test bomb without explosives and a complete live ammunition—except that the explosives were replaced with gravel of the same weight, the test bomb and the live ammunition are exactly the same in every way." .This is a test round."

Gawain glanced down - this magic-based cannonball had a completely different shape from the Earth cannonball he remembered.

Instead of a cylindrical body and conical warhead, it resembles a small, weird obelisk.

Its projectile is in the shape of a cuboid, with a depression on the top and bottom to match the directional guide rail in the acceleration orbit. The tail and front of the projectile, which look like small gold towers, are engraved with the "blessing of the wind" runes on the surface of the projectile. Those runes It's all dim now—obviously, it's not charging.

And you can't see the magic guide structure connected to the shell body.

"Where does the energy of the wind rune group come from?" Gao Wen asked curiously.

"Recharge during the acceleration process in the orbit," Kamel explained, "cannonballs are consumable items, so find a way to save costs, because the wind rune on it only needs to let the cannonballs fly at most after activation Tens of seconds, so there is no need to consider making it carry independent energy. For the basic spell effect with only one level, you only need to add some crystal dust to the material when drawing the magic circle, so that it has the basic energy storage property , then the energy accumulated in the magic circle is enough for the magic to run for about a minute."

Gao Wen was a little surprised: "This is a good idea—what do you think?"

"I hope so, but it was Rebecca's idea," Kamel changed into a humble gray-blue color, and stepped aside slightly to let Rebecca step forward, "I have to admit, your The genius of descendants in invention and creation is simply enviable."

Rebecca immediately walked up with an expression of "I'm super powerful", and raised her face to the sky in front of Gao Wen: "I got the inspiration from your magic capacitor—as long as you are on the acceleration track Add some additional magic-guiding structures to drain some of the energy in the gun mount, and then treat the runes containing crystal dust on the shells as weak magic-storing crystals, then the entire acceleration track becomes an open Magic capacitor. Although the shell stays in the acceleration orbit for a short time, coupled with the contact stage between the shell and the orbit during loading, this charging process is completely sufficient!"

Gao Wen knew it well, and felt that it should be so—only Rebecca, who came from a poor life, could always put the idea of "compressing costs to achieve mass production" taught by him at the first place. How could Kamel, who lived in the era of rich people, There is this idea of racking one's brains to reduce costs - if it was the Gondor Empire back then, it would have been difficult for the gang of gods to eject a cannon without carving a whole piece of blue crystal...

Gawain praised Rebecca a few words, made the girl so beautiful and started giggling, then turned to look at the soldiers standing by the railgun: "The technical details will be discussed later, I can't wait to see its actual performance." , shall we start with the test bomb?"

"This is the most in line with the process." Kamel said while controlling the evoking hand to send the test bullets to the soldiers.

According to the newly learned operating procedures, the soldiers immediately began to load this huge war machine.

They opened the loading port on one side of the gun base, pushed the shells into it, and stuck the shells into the orbit with the help of the push rod, then closed the loading port, adjusted the angle of the acceleration track, and activated the charging structure for overload (the scientific name is Rebecca Booster). effect mod)…

The magic line on the gun mount gradually brightened, followed by the rune group on the entire acceleration guide rail, a strange, low humming sound began to sound.

Another soldier manipulating the cannon was already standing behind the side of the cannon mount, putting his hand on the handle for firing the cannon.

Knight Byron gave the order: "Fire!"

The soldier then pulled the handle.

The cannonball was pushed into the acceleration section by the base repulsion mechanism, and then accelerated rapidly under the action of a series of repulsion runes. All the sounds converged into a sharp detonation. With the violent retreat of the entire acceleration track in the base, a shiny metal The device rushed out of the orbit under the wrap of a light blue cyclone, and flew into the clear sky with a sharp whistle.

Compared with the "artillery" that relies on the explosion of gunpowder to propel the projectile, the sound of this accelerated orbital gun is much quieter, but the sudden explosion still startled Rebecca and Hetty—Jenny even more so. He exclaimed softly, and covered his ears slowly.

After dozens of seconds, on a distant hillside as a target, Gao Wen saw a cloud of smoke suddenly rising.

He smiled. "If the guns are okay, let's use live ammunition—that's more intuitive."

Several technicians from the Mechanical Research Institute immediately stepped forward to check the condition of the rail gun, and soon a report came: "The track is in good condition! The charging structure and overload structure are in good condition! All moving parts are firmly connected!"

"Live ammunition!"

The soldiers repeated the process of the first launch, and this time, what was pushed into the accelerated orbit was a live ammunition filled with tens of kilograms of Rebecca crystals.

Rebecca, who was well aware of the movement of the crystal she tossed out, immediately got behind Hetty, and Hetty subconsciously hid behind Gawain. Amber looked at the reactions of the two of them, thought carefully, and calmly analyzed , the whole person becomes illusory - if the situation is not right, he will jump directly to the shadow world.

Then, the rail gun fired.

There was still a sudden explosion, and a metal device that looked like a small obelisk and wrapped in light blue air rushed out of the orbit. Even Gawain and Kamel could barely catch up to its flight path. - The shell did not explode immediately after it exited the "bore". Its projectile body and fuze safety mechanism have withstood the test. The entire shell flew through a long parabola in the air. After tens of seconds, it hit the pole heavily. On the hillside in the distance.

There was a loud bang, like a thunderclap, countless earth and rocks rose into the air in the explosion, and the impact fireball produced by the explosion of magic power rose into the air.

Hu Po, who was about to drill into the Shadow Realm, froze in place.

She stared blankly at the hillside covered in smoke, dust and rocks, with a huge fireball flying into the air, and suddenly understood what Gawain meant by "negotiation means".

Under any circumstances, anyone who uses this thing to negotiate with her, she will definitely cooperate...
