Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Six: Storm Corner Illusion
A small magical airship needs to reduce costs and weight, and the keel is not metal. Although the entire cabin is strengthened by magic, it is still easier to disintegrate than metal if it is attacked.
No one attacks now, but he just fires a magic projectile and feels like he is about to fall apart.
This place is more than a hundred miles away from Greentown, but Xia He sees everything on the airship. The battlefield assessment is not counted unless it is the gods or Freya.
The stuff is good, but unfortunately the airship is not good.
But airships are really cheap. If you build them yourself, the cost is much lower than that of flying warships. Although flying warships are also very cheap, ten thousand gold coins are not a small amount, especially for large-scale installations.
This kind of equipment is now incomparable to the Goblin era.
The goblins' skills were indeed good at the beginning, otherwise they would not be able to suppress other races for so many years. It is said that the goblins' decline was because they committed suicide. As for how they committed suicide, no one knew.
The attributes of flying warships are very good. There are five power cores, and only one can fly, three will be extremely stable, and they are quite reliable when attacking.
If the airship reaches that level, the cost will be more expensive than that of the flying warship.
But giant magic guns are really easy to invent, and if you don’t need them, it’s too wasteful. For this reason, Xia He had to redesign magic airships and vehicles of giant magic guns to attack large equipment on the ground. For example, golems, and Green Forest, there are giant steel golems, which are less combat power than golems, but the cost is also low and the lethality is not small.
If there is no suitable weapon, the thing has to be dealt with by a magician.
The problem is that there are too many places to use for a level 20 magician. This giant magic gun is different. With a level 5 magician, it can be easily controlled.
The expensive ones cannot be made, such as Bai Yujing, and the cheap ones are difficult, so how to reduce costs is the biggest problem.
Xia He thought for a while and felt that the original intention of the magic airship was to transport supplies and soldiers to a designated location and use them for battle. There were always unsatisfactory places. Since that was the case, he would start over.
Anyway, Shen Zhou conquered many worlds, and the technology collected is as numerous as cow hairs, and it is impossible to describe it because there are too few cow hairs.
However, there are not so many options that fit the laws of this world.
Xia He casually drew a triangle on the paper, then added another one to form a hexagram. The core position of the hexagram was cut into a circle.
It seems a bit ugly?
Xia He shook the paper, and the figure broke out from the paper and turned into an extremely real phantom.
The hexagram extends a ring-shaped belt, like a halo surrounding a planet, the circle in the middle becomes a sphere, rotating continuously in the center of the hexagram.
Not bad, hexagrams provide power, balls provide buoyancy, and they are also cabins. However, with such a structure, there are fewer members, at most four people?
Xiahe makes this pattern transparent and the structures inside are listed one by one.
A giant magic gun, a reel sequence launcher drop device. It's that simple. If an enemy encounters in the air, the real attack is the hexagram.
In Xia He's eyes, these structures have become data one by one, and countless replacement materials have been repeatedly compared, and the cost has dropped rapidly.
At the beginning, the cost of this thing was 20,000 gold coins, and then it was a decline of more than 100 gold coins.
In the end, the cost of this thing was reduced to only one thousand gold coins, of course, not including the weapons it carried. Xia He felt that the cost could be reduced, but it was no longer necessary. If you reduce it, you would have to sacrifice some necessary data.
This is enough. The subsequent selection of materials and final cost decisions will be left to Freya to handle.
Xia He is a Taoist priest, and it is enough to do this step. Freya is his god. Calculation and coordination are all the things that gods are best at.
Xia He asked Freya to focus on improving her combat effectiveness before, because she cherished her too much.
"Sir, you're doing this again." Freya was speechless when she received the drawing.
Xia Hedao: "In the magic world, there are too many large-scale equipment on the ground, and I don't want to build more chariots, so I have to create this thing, otherwise how can I suppress the enemy?"
"Let me go up and chop them up."
"If you can't make a mistake, you can help me deal with the problem at Storm Corner."
"Okay, when do you want this thing?"
"No hurry. If you plan a few more levels, our main legion is not large, so you can use better ones. If you install them on a large scale, use cheap ones. The Empire will definitely ask for drawings for this thing, and will not buy our goods directly. So you must prepare the drawings as well."
"I understand." Freya understood it.
The drawings sell at a good price at a time, but in the long run, they will suffer a loss. However, there are more ways to move them in the drawings. Freya's technical ability is comparable to that of this world. There are no structural traps left in the drawings without any pressure.
Xia He felt much more comfortable now. He had a real starry warship. The things he designed now are mainly for his subordinates to use. The hexagram airship is cheap, but it can carry the weapons he needs, and the requirements for users are also very low.
However, the driving force of this thing is that the crystallization of raw coal, which is twice the cost of raw coal.
However, the ability to last flight is much stronger than that of ordinary floating airships. If a magician is not afraid of being suffocated to death by urine, he can fly in the sky for more than a month.
Storm Point, Academy Illusion.
Freya soon created a hexagram airship in the illusion and then invited a group of students to control it. The illusion and reality are different, but the driving experience in the early experiment is very important.
The students were very happy and rushed to fly. Freya had to copy several hexagram airships so that all students could go up and experience it.
The students entered the cabin from the abdomen of the airship. The ball looked very large in diameter. However, after the four of them entered, they found that the space was still a little cramped.
There is a driving position above, two observation positions on both sides, and a weapon attack position behind it.
There is a giant magic musket in the middle. Under the observation position, two other droppers are arranged. The seat itself is very spacious, but most of the space outside the seat is divided into accommodating weapons and ammunition.
"Flying!" The student who was driving was yelling.
"Give me a clear focus!" The magician who controlled the weapon behind said seriously: "Let me find a target later, I'll fire it."
"Stupid, this is just a magic musket, it looks big, not as powerful as a magic cannon."
"Whether you are strong depends on who the user is. A level 5 magician. Of course, it is very ordinary to use it. I can add attributes to the magic projectile. Even a golem can smash him."
"Stop bragging, turn on the screen!"
As the order was issued, the walls around the four seats seemed to disappear. The four students saw that deep in the air, surrounding them was a huge dark golden hexagram, spinning slowly around them.
Their spherical cabin is no longer parallel to the ground, and it turned around and faced downwards. However, due to gravity magic, they were completely unaware of it. Fortunately, the magician's visual system has long been used to being confused. If ordinary people see the surrounding environment, even if they have the help of gravity magic, they will vomit and diarrhea.
"Front, front! What has the goddess prepared for us?"
Observing the magician, I saw a huge steel robot wielding a war hammer on the ground five miles away, attacking a team of soldiers frantically. The war hammer was flashing and could only escape. The diameter of the war hammer was more than four meters, although it was hollow, but its weight was the same as a hill.
In front of the magician responsible for the attack, a large vision immediately appeared. A hexagram pattern caught the steel robot. The steel robot was spraying black smoke, and this thing burned coal. Such a cheap thing, but its destructive power was amazing.
"Hey, senior brother, there are people inside. I'm doing a mission, don't shoot him to death!"
The magician in charge of observation said, the magician in charge of shooting nodded and focused on the target. The six rings overlapped, and the ring in the middle quickly collapsed into a red dot.
The magician also inspires the attack magic circle, and a golden magic projectile flew out of the barrel.
The six-pointed airship vibrated slightly and was almost impossible to detect.
"This thing is about to catch up with the tower spirit!" The driving mage exclaimed, because the locking speed was too fast just now, almost at that moment, the hexagram airship stabilized, and after the attack occurred, it was only pounding in the airflow again.
The huge magic projectile shot in from the shoulders of the steel robot, penetrated from top to bottom, tearing the steel robot's cockpit apart. The warrior inside hurriedly opened the hatch door, jumped out, pointed at the sky and cursed.
"It seems that we really destroyed his mission!" The magicians laughed.
This kind of mission is actually more like a game. Many weapons designed by the academy are tested here. The attack of this warrior is also part of the test. But he can't continue playing.
This is a large illusion, with too many things tested at the same time. Many weapons were not even produced samples, but only a drawing came out. Of course, most weapons will never have samples.
"I'll go, fly, and the accelerator, run away quickly, it's coming for us!"
The magician in charge of the attack shouted, and at a distance, a giant feathered snake swooped down and hit the hexagram airship.
"Madman, what's the use of this thing?"
