Chapter 152 Shooting Test
When those things that are enough to shake the cornerstone of the era appear, only a few people can realize its significance for the first time.
So it wasn't until Gawain said the words "one hundred and six second-level mortals" that Amber, Jenny, and Rebecca suddenly realized what the ugly looking gauntlet meant.
There are not no props or equipment that can release magic in this world. Those magicians are always used to carrying some life-saving or auxiliary magic props, such as various amulets that can release protective spells, or release attack spells. Magic guides, but most of these props have two characteristics: first, only "mortals" with magical power can use them; second, they are so expensive that some minor nobles can be discouraged.
A magic ring that can release second-level offensive spells, its value is equivalent to half a year's income of a knight in the Holy Spirit Plains, because the ring is made of fine gold and mithril, and it needs to be infused and tempered by a noble mage. It can only be used by training.
But the most expensive part of the heat ray gun is the quartz column used as the focusing crystal, which is worth less than half a silver coin. Now that there is a cheap crystal mine in Tanzania, the price has to drop.
And what kind of labor is needed to make such a set of heat ray guns? In addition to the initial design of runes and the manufacture of prototype substrates that require the participation of mages and rune masters, after the finalization of the plan, it only needs a bunch of rumbling machine tools, and a few are responsible for filling the magic array grooves with magic materials and post-production. It is only a skilled worker who assembles it. Although it is much larger than those exquisite and luxurious magic rings and magic talismans, it will have a crushing number.
And the use of this thing is even lower, and it doesn't even require well-trained professional soldiers, ordinary people with a little training can use it.
After thinking about this, Jenny looked at the heat ray gun no longer only with pride and joy, but a little uneasiness in it.
This is her first time participating in "Cecil's Featured Ming Creation", she doesn't know what this weapon will bring to the world, and she doesn't dare to think about it.
"Master Ancestor, are you going to give this thing to every soldier?" Rebecca was a girl with strong receptivity, she quickly reacted, and looked at Gawain with shining eyes,
"Do the soldiers need to train swordsmanship with this thing?"
Gao Wen wanted to say that when the long-range hot weapons appeared, the era of swords, spears, swords and halberds entered the countdown to the exit, but he quickly realized that this is a world where various ordinary powers exist, and the so-called cold weapons and hot weapons The boundary is After the intervention of the power, it has become blurred, so the words are changed soon: "Conventional weapons are still to be retained, and the mass production of infused swords and armor is the next step. However, in my conception, the heat ray gun will be the soldiers' primary means of attack, and the sword will slowly recede as their secondary weapon."
Rebecca gestured happily: "You can equip the heat ray gun on the left arm, and then use the sword in the right hand as usual. When the enemy is far away, hit the scorching ray, and when the enemy runs close, draw the sword and cut the ray gun. The shell can be thicker, so that it can be used to block in melee combat!"
Gawain thought for a while, and suddenly felt that Rebecca's idea was quite interesting, but there was one thing he didn't understand: As a mage, why did this girl think of this melee theory in the first place?
But anyway, it seems that the fighting style of Cecil's combat soldiers is really going to be turned upside down. I just don't know if Byron and Philip can adapt to this change quickly.
However, in order for a weapon to be practical, it cannot just rely on prototype verification, especially the heat ray gun is a brand new thing even for Gawain. He just fired the first shot successfully, and he must ensure that it can be A steady swing on the battlefield requires more than one shot.
Gawain put away the prototype gauntlet and looked at the people present: "It needs more testing. We will start early tomorrow morning, on the testing ground to the northeast of the testing site."
The test site in the northeast is the large wasteland near the river beach. Since the explosion of the Rebecca crystal was tested there before, that area has been designated as a formal military test area, and the subsequent crystal grenades are also carried out there. 's test. In fact, Gawain really can't hold back the urge to try it now, and he really wants to find a place to go to the biu immediately, but night is really not a good time for such tests , so all tests have to wait until the next day.
The next morning, Gawain got up early.
Compared with the situation when only a few people were present when the first shot was fired last night, today's formal test was very formal and serious. Rebecca told Hetty about the heat ray gun, and Hetty immediately called Byron and Hetty. Philip, the two military chiefs, also selected 20 stable and reliable soldiers from the combat corps to guard nearby to prevent irrelevant personnel from approaching, and at the same time, she also ordered people to set up markers of different distances on the testing ground. The target was used to test parameters such as the range and accuracy of the weapon. Finally, she also called in Druid Pitman to deal with emergency medical care in case the weapon accidentally injured someone.
From this arrangement, Gawain can clearly determine one thing:
This eldest granddaughter is learning little by little the 'scientific and institutionalized' thinking he taught her
Gawain was still in control of himself at first, but after Amber ba1aba1 in his ear for ten minutes, he decided to give her this opportunity.
Of course, this decision is not all because Amber is really annoying, the more important reason is that this guy has really used the Hidden Arrow as a stalker, and it is not bad. With a certain experience, then the manipulator must be her.
Watching Amber put the heat ray gun on her arm and adjust the straps professionally to ensure stability, Rebecca, who failed to seize the opportunity to manipulate, couldn't help but muttered sourly: "You can take it easy, don't Beating yourself with this thing is more calm than Xiujian!"
"I won't bother you," Amber bared his teeth at Rebecca, "When I practiced Hidden Arrows, I had to hang an iron lump on my wrist. That thing is heavier than this!"
After showing off, the half-elf thief also completed the adjustment of the equipment. She nodded to Heidi, who was in charge of recording, and then raised her hand to aim at the first target in the distance.
The rune trigger was pulled by the metal wire, and the magic power in the magic capacitor was instantly converted into the energy of the searing ray array. With a light sound, the hot beam instantly hit the No. 1 target dozens of meters away.
The wooden target with the leather armor was directly pierced.
Hetty hurriedly recorded the numbers, and Amber began to aim for the second target.
"The effective range is only between 200 and 300 meters, which is lower than the standard scorching rays, and also lower than the theoretical value of the array substrate." After some tests, Hetty took the record to Gawain. , "The reason may be that the adjustment of the quartz column is not in place, or the efficiency of the magic guide between the searing ray rune substrate and the magic capacitor is not good, these can be improved from the process; another problem is the accuracy, the 50-meter range is accurate The speed can still be seen, but the accuracy drops sharply after 50 meters, and after 100 meters, even people like Amber who are half elf blood and have practiced Hidden Arrow have a three-quarter miss rate. This The data would definitely be worse on the average soldier."
Rebecca scratched her head and said bluntly, "But it's still better than your aunt, it hurts!"
Watching the silly roe deer being pulled by Hetty's ears, Gawain's expression did not change at all: "Accuracy is actually a problem of processing technology. Nicholas eggs are assembled very accurately, but the base plate of the scorching ray was hand-made by Rebecca and the others, because they just wanted to Verify that the newly designed rune set can be used, so I didn't put much effort into choosing the quartz column."
After speaking, he glanced at the gauntlet on Amber's hand again: "And it still lacks a sight. A simple aiming structure can be installed in the ray port and the middle of the gauntlet, which should greatly improve the accuracy."
Gawain explained the concept of the so-called sight, and Amber's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh! This is a good thing! It will make it easier for soldiers to train this!"
Although the issue of accuracy is being discussed, in fact, the accuracy of the thermal energy ray gun has already been expected by Gao Wen.
Originally, in his opinion, such a long-range weapon with a shape that is not easy to aim and does not even have basic sights is quite good to have an accurate distance of more than ten meters, but the fact is beyond his expectations.
On the one hand, this is because the heat ray gun is not a live ammunition weapon, and its working process hardly involves mechanical movement, so it has almost no recoil, and there is no need to worry about the barrel shake, the instability of the receiver, etc. affecting the accuracy. Accuracy is as long as the hand is steady. On the other hand, people in this world are different from people on earth in terms of physical fitness and talent.
Amber's half-elf ancestry makes her naturally more proficient in using various ranged weapons, and even if it is replaced by ordinary people without elf blood, they are better than earthlings in various parameters of physical fitness (think of those aristocrats The average life expectancy of more than 100 years, and the "ordinary soldiers" who can charge in heavy armor and carrying giant swords), these advantages may still exist when using long-range weapons. Of course, this last point needs to be done by ordinary soldiers. It will be determined after testing.
On the other side, Rebecca had already started to grin at Heidi's hands: "You really don't come to save me?!"
Gawain glanced at the girl who had been taught a lesson because of her honesty and laughed, and took action to save her, then nodded to Amber: "Continue the test, this time to see the effect of continuous shooting on performance."
The continuous shooting was a relatively long testing process. Gawain did not continue to stare, but walked towards the two knights Philip and Byron who were standing aside.
The two knights looked at the proving ground intently, and the expressions on their faces were obviously a bit complicated.
"What are you thinking about?" Gawain came to them and asked lightly.
"This is really an incredible weapon," Byron said with admiration. "Unbelievable magic can be released in this way. Whether it is the source of magic power or the control of magic power, it is completed by the weapon itself, and it is related to the user's talent. It doesn't matter, whoever manipulates it only needs to be able to pull the rune trigger."
"It's not just admiration, right?" Gawain glanced at him with a half-smile.
"Indeed," Byron looked at Gawain and finally nodded in recognition, "I'm still a little lost."
"Oh?"
"Back then, it took me two years to learn breath protection, and then it took me three years to learn danger perception, and it was just a two-level knight skill," Byron shook his head, "now, a few days of training Recruits will be able to unleash a scorching ray at will."
Philip also sighed softly, and said with emotion: "I'm faster than you, and it took me half a year to combine these two skills."
Byron: "Can you feel something else?"
"As I said, the times are going to change," Gawain interrupted the cross talk duo, "This change is inevitable, you must accept it."
Byron was stunned, and looked at the testing ground with a wry smile: "One day, will that thing release a finger of death?"
Gawain was silent for a moment: "Maybe."
"Then it seems that the day when the city of a thousand towers collapses is not far away."
On the other side, Amber moved his slightly tired arm from lifting for a long time, then raised the heat ray gun again and pulled the rune trigger.
The front of the ray gun seemed to generate a little heat, but this time no beam was fired.
"Old Zongzi! This thing can't be used!"
