Chapter 685: Demonization (1)
Magic crossbow cannons and magic artillery are two different launch devices. The launch tube of magic crossbow cannons mainly add attributes to magic crossbow arrows and provide initial power. Magic crossbow arrows will increase their speed, adjust their direction, and accurately strike. The magic gun must have a preset coordinate and launch projectiles after locking. All the power is provided by magic artillery.
The projectiles fired by the magic cannon can only be simply corrected.
Finally, there is the original magic cannon. Xiahe no longer builds it. It fires elemental balls, which are powerful, but consumes a lot and costly. It is not cost-effective to put it on a warship. If it is placed on a flight device, the restrictions will be even more serious.
The magic cannon that fires elemental balls is OK to install in the fortress. However, the Empire has the fortress cannon, so the expensive magic cannon is a bit embarrassing.
Xia He asked the magicians to develop magic crossbow arrows with a range of more than 180 miles and a speed of more than most magic.
As for its power, it is quite considerable, at least much more powerful than the huge weapons Xia He saw in the world of science and technology. After the magic crossbow arrow was completed, the weapons on the flight equipment were considered to have a hit with supreme power.
The disadvantage of this weapon is that it is more costly than magic cannons.
With the same power, except for the original magic cannon, magic crossbow arrows are the most expensive, magic artillery is second, and fortress cannons are the cheapest.
The main thing is that some magic circles are portrayed and refined in magic crossbows. The cost is all about materials, and the difficulty in manufacturing is not high. Just have a high-level alchemy factory. Xia He is not short of materials now, and the starry sky worms provide a large amount of material. As long as he does not intend to conquer the universe, he will only make trouble in this world, which is enough for the time being.
In another laboratory, a group of young mages shouted excitedly.
"Success! Success!"
Above the magic circle, a rectangular metal box floated on it. It was less than one meter wide, silver-gray, with magic patterns on it densely covered with magic patterns. The magic patterns on the bottom were in the shape of a character, and the center was blank.
This is a mission arranged by Xiahe, a reel sequence launcher, which is required to be installed on the aircraft.
This reel sequence launcher can only launch dragon scale reels, and its volume is easy to control. The troublesome thing is the launch method. Xia He requires that the dragon scale reels be transmitted to a predetermined position to activate. For example, the launcher of the magician is made into rings or bracelets as big as a ring or bracelet, so naturally it is impossible to expand such functions.
The solution for magicians is to prepare magic in advance.
The dragon scale reel is sent in the launcher in the original way. At a distance of 500 meters from the target, a pre-release magic will be activated for reading, and then a 500-meter teleportation technique will be sent to the precise position and then activated.
This thing is not far from shooting flat, but from a high altitude, it may launch an attack at a height of 10,000 meters. The dragon scale scroll can be thrown down at an angle, and has extremely strong self-control.
"What a pity, I can only launch the Dragon Scale Scroll." The magician in charge of this project sighed at the finished product.
"This is what the Duke asks, let's do it, and the Lord will definitely be satisfied."
"Yes, teacher. Look, this thing is a work of art!"
The magicians talked all the same and didn't care about the shortcomings of the teacher. What's wrong with the dragon scale scroll? There are many dragon scale scrolls in the Duke, mainly because the artificial dragon scales are good. Depending on the Duke's meaning, no other scrolls need to be made in the future, and all are produced in the form of dragon scale scrolls.
Of course, Xia He didn't care about this limitation, because the reel thrown down from the aircraft would definitely not be low-level.
At least an epic-level scroll is required to have support value. Is it necessary to release a master-level magic from a height of tens of thousands of meters?
The five-man team designed by Xia He is designed to be able to deal with professionals at level 20.
When air support is needed, epic magic is the bottom line.
It is quite difficult to create a legendary level for Dragon Scale Scroll, but it only increases the cost of creating an epic level.
In the future, the cost of flying warships and hexagram airships will increase, improve their survivability, and provide a stronger strike force than before. Last time I went to sea, the flight equipment had a good impact on the demon warships. However, these demon warships on the sea are the cannon fodder that was pieced together.
Xia He found a lot of information in the demon clan’s starry sky warship and knew that the demon clan had better warships.
There is no way to update his weapons. This is the enemy forcing you to improve, otherwise it will not be so easy to deal with the warships of the demons next time you encounter them. The final result is that if you want to solve the demons, you have to put them on and fight with each other.
Xia He has always advocated destroying the enemy and then fighting with others.
Otherwise, the magician's hand-to-hand combat ability is as excellent, so why throw away magic first when fighting?
Each laboratory is completing the tasks assigned by Xia He step by step. These drawings will eventually be finalized and Freya will make the decision. However, as long as the completion level is reached, these magicians will be rewarded.
The magicians have long stopped caring about rewards. This mission has made everyone gain a lot.
Freya collected a large number of drawings and felt that Xia He's expectations made sense for these magicians. Each task was completed, and no matter how it was completed, it could absolutely meet the standards. All the goals set by Xia He were solved, and the level did not limit the imagination of these magicians.
"Austin, come out to do things!" Freya said loudly.
The goblin tower spirit rolled and crawled into the room, crawling at Freya's feet. Freya kicked it, and the goblin dodged quickly, but there was still a thud in his chest.
Freya said proudly: "Can you hide?"
"I can't hide." Austin said with a smile.
"You are still so happy, am I still playing lightly?"
"No, no, no, I'm happy."
"All the drawings, please summarize. The things you want are completed as soon as possible. This has delayed the progress. We will go to war next month. At least some of them must be produced first and some of them will be replaced with some of the troops."
"Yes, yes, I'll do it now."
Austin smiled. The alchemy factory in Sun City does have production capacity, but after Austin finally sets these equipment, it is not the kind designed by magicians. All need to be integrated and optimized, and it will have the value of confidentiality.
Some key parts have a secret lock, self-destruction ability, fully enclosed form, and artificially create magic black boxes.
You can only use it, but you don't know what it is.
Key components cannot be repaired and can only be replaced.
These parts can be created by other people, but they don’t know that the designs will be very expensive. If the magicians don’t invest their energy, they can produce them, but they don’t make much sense.
At Storm Point, the four seasons are not as distinct as Rhode Island.
It has snowed in Rhode Island, and it is a little cold in the south. In the area close to the mainland, there is thin ice on the sea surface, and there is no freezing in the east, and the port can still operate normally. It is not possible in the north, and the mining farm has temporarily stopped mining. However, the Xiahe River is well coordinated, and in summer, it mainly mines the seabed coal mines.
In winter, manpower is concentrated to process and produce raw coal crystals.
After processing, the raw coal crystals are cheap and cheap, and the storage energy is not as good as the magic raw stone. However, from the perspective of price, the raw coal crystals are more cost-effective.
All Xiahe's equipment is mainly made of raw coal crystals, and only the advanced ones use magic rough stones. As for using raw coal directly, it only preserves this ability to avoid sometimes the energy is not processed and the equipment at hand becomes a pile of garbage.
A long train drove from the north to the south, along the rails on the east coast. This train had more than 40 carriages filled with raw coal crystals. The ones escorted the carriages were two field squadrons, plus a ten-person mage regiment.
When the train was heading to the northeast corner of Rhode Island, it passed through a forest. Suddenly, a magical alarm came from the front. The two intelligent mechanical lives driving the train were immediately taken.
The train stopped after sliding for more than 100 meters. Soldiers immediately went down to check. There was a monster lying on the rails ahead, more than four meters long, with a similar appearance to a crocodile.
This monster has transformed, with its scales growing, and its body emits a faint demonic energy.
The soldiers inspected changed color, and this was contaminated by monsters!
How could this happen in Rhode Island?
"Go back!" The armored soldiers did not even attack the monster and retreated immediately. He didn't know what was going on, but the training content was very clear. When encountering some unknown things, if you cannot judge the degree of danger, you should immediately defend and pass the information back to Sun City.
The precision shooter retreated immediately, and all three warriors followed him, and the armored soldiers slowly retreated.
The monster was lying on the rails without looking back.
When the five soldiers returned to the car, they reported the matter to the mage group. The mage group was also startled and immediately activated the emergency magic circle on the train to contact Sun City, indicating that some monsters were polluted by demonic air and had been demonized.
Sun City gave a reply within ten seconds, asking them to deal with the monster first and try to get close to the direction of Sun City. Sun City will dispatch flying warships and hexagram airships, plus magic airships for transporting troops, and come directly to support.
On the train, the mechanic soldiers were awakened, and a complete squadron walked down from the train and came to the front, not far from the monster.
The five magicians of the spellcaster team judged the level of the monster from afar and finally decided to attack.
The monster should be only at level twenty. After being demonized, its attack power will increase, its defense power will decrease, and its speed will become faster, but it will lose its wisdom or instinct.
"Are you ready?" The captain of the Spellcaster Squad contacted the intelligent mechanical life on the train.
The smart mechanical life has installed the weapons on the front of the car, a small magic cannon, plus a new long-range magic musket. The flying robots were also released, with a total of ten, two floating above the train, and the other eight flew towards the distance for long-range alert.
