Celestial Mage

Chapter 283 This thing should be able to fight dragons, right? (34)

Castle garden.

Rosen took out a pen and paper from his satchel, and expressed his new ideas while drawing.

"Master, Anna, I think so."

"First find a way to create a pure round and smooth tube, and then use this tube as the core to build the control parts."

"like this."

In the painting, he drew something similar to the earth musket, and he drew not only one picture, but several pictures, including the external view, internal view, and structural diagram.

"This tube is called a projection tube, and it is engraved with a mithril pattern on it for a low-dexterity projection circle. Therefore, it is essentially a projection magic weapon."

Master Sophia asked: "Is it used to shoot iron balls?"

Rosen shook his head again and again: "It's not an iron ball, but a rune ball."

Upon hearing this, both women's eyes lit up, and they felt that they had been opened up to new ideas.

Rosen continued to introduce.

"The rune ball is the most important thing."

Rosen drew a sphere, or more precisely, a spherical runestone.

"Look, I put this rune ball into the projection tube. Its size fits perfectly with the inner wall of the projection tube."

"On the rune ball, there are always two spells, and one is a pre-projection spell."

"After triggering, it will cooperate with the mid-level throwing circle on the projection tube to build a uniform and powerful accelerated gravitational field covering the inner wall of the barrel inside the projection tube."

"Because it is accelerated by gravity and the inner wall is smooth, the impact is very small and will not damage the structure of the rune ball and cause accidental triggering.

"The length of the projection tube is about [-] centimeters, and with the controllable dexterity of the projection spell, the rune ball can be accurately and quickly shot to a distant target."

While speaking, Rosen used the mirror image technique to simulate the appearance of a musket in the air.

Then, he raised his musket and made the appearance of aiming at the stone pillar in the distance.

"Look, I pulled the trigger of this crossbow-like thing."

"'Crack', the hammer hit the rune ball, triggering the outer pre-throwing spell, and the rune ball was shot out along the pipe at high speed!"

"Then, the rune ball has an inner layer."

"The inner layer can keep different spells according to the needs, such as missile spells, disintegration spells, and gravitational levitation, all are fine."

"After the rune ball flies out at high speed and hits a distant target, the inner constant spell is activated to exert its lethal power."

Both women found this idea very novel.

After thinking for a while, Serendis asked, "Then what is your planned range?"

"It depends on the situation. Because it is a spherical rune stone, the speed is too fast and it is easy to drift. But I estimate that it should be able to guarantee considerable accuracy within 200 meters."

Sophia said: "In this way, an ordinary person without any strength, as long as he masters the method of using this new type of weapon, can display a very powerful combat power."

"Obviously, this new type of weapon is very easy to master, and I'm afraid ordinary farmers can use it very well."

"Then the role of the mage will be greatly reduced."

Rosen shook his head again and again.

"It won't drop, and it will even be greatly improved due to the substantial increase in the range of spell application."

"You think, this weapon is essentially a magic weapon, but the threshold for using it is very low."

"Since it is a magic weapon, it needs mana. Only a mage can provide mana, and only a mage can make magic weapons and rune balls."

"In this way, the mage can concentrate on making weapons in the rear, and when needed, use this weapon to quickly arm ordinary people in the Golden Land."

Sophia nodded again and again: "You are absolutely right."

Rosen said again: "Master, Anna, think again."

"If one hundred, or even one thousand ordinary people with more than 1 people hold this magic weapon and launch low-level rune balls together to cover a distance of 200 meters in front, then the enemies charging from the opposite side will probably be in a group. Fall down in batches?"

Sophia nodded: "That's true, but the rate of fire is a problem. If the rate of fire is high, it will be really scary."

As soon as she finished speaking, Serendis said, "I think it's completely possible to adjust the rate of fire to a very high level."

As she spoke, she took a pen from Rosen, and formed a circle of six gun barrels on the paper, and then added a crank and a simple gear structure.

"You see, as long as there are enough rune balls, it is completely possible for a person to hold the handle and shake it continuously. While activating, new rune balls will be automatically loaded."

"As long as it is shaken fast enough, it is estimated that hundreds of rune balls can be shot in one minute."

Rosen felt a shock in his heart.

He just came up with an idea similar to a musket, and it turned out that his genius wife directly evolved it into the Gatling Vulcan cannon in one step.

If this thing is really perfect, it will be stuffed into high-level or even master-level rune balls, and hundreds of them will be made, and high-level or even great warriors will hold them in their hands and explode together.

Then it is estimated that it can beat all the dragons in the sky, right?

Sophia's eyes brightened when she heard it: "Good idea~ This is really a good idea!"

She also had an idea.

"That can also greatly enhance the strength of the throwing spell, and then make the rune ball into the shape of a crossbow arrow, add a stable tail feather or something like that, and increase the range to 500 meters, or even 1000 meters."

"With such a large range and high rate of fire, the enemy army will probably be wiped out before it appears in the field of vision!"

She sighed again: "If there was such a magic weapon on the Yuehui battlefield, the casualties of the Silver Moon Legion would not be so heavy, and the ice dwarves would not be able to come and leave whenever they wanted!"

Rosen was speechless: "Good guy ~ Sniper Gatling has appeared."

As soon as Sophia finished speaking, Serendis had a new idea.

"Then can we make the launch tube bigger and the rune ball more powerful, and then launch the explosive rune ball at the opponent five or six miles away, or even more than ten miles away?"

Rosen nodded immediately: "Sure."

He deeply felt his wife's intelligence, and unexpectedly evolved Gatling into a real alien mortar.

Seeing that the two women started discussing with great interest, Rosen interrupted hastily and expressed his appeal.

"First of all, I need a stable and precise design for throwing spells. Secondly, I haven't figured out how to ensure the stability of this double-layer spell."

"Finally, how to reduce the cost is also a big problem. If a rune ball costs three or four crowns, it's really unaffordable."

Sophia said: "Leave the first and second questions to me and Anna, and we will definitely be able to figure it out in three days at most. For the third question, you have to go to the alchemist for help."

"Okay, then I'll solve the problem of the thrower first."

"Wait~"

Serrandis called to Rosen and asked, "Can the rune ball not be nested, just add a throwing spell on the outer layer, and wrap the inner layer with venom, or simply poisonous smoke, the effect will be good too."

'This is not a biochemical bomb! '

Rosen nodded immediately: "It is possible, anyway, as long as it is stable and powerful."

"Understood. You go to Jenny."

So, Rosen went to the alchemy laboratory to find Gendroni who was leading an apprentice.

Gendroni thought for a while and said, "This thrower is very simple to make, as long as there are enough materials. With the apprentices I trained, I can make at least 200 of them a day."

"As for this rune stone, it is a little difficult because it requires a precise shape, and it also needs to be very stable and safe."

"If you want to make enough, stable enough, and low-cost launching rune balls, I am afraid that you will need to spend a lot of money to build a workshop and train a large number of refining apprentices."

Rosen thought the same way: "Then let's open a rune ball workshop!"

Finally, there is the issue of materials.

Rosen found Fitbit in the temporary element laboratory.

As soon as he asked the question, he said: "The core components of this thing are the launch tube and the rune ball."

"I suggest using Saren steel as the launch tube, which is a high-strength steel discovered by the great craftsman Saren."

"This kind of steel has very good performance. After refining, it can be activated with petrochemical technology to obtain petrochemical steel that is anti-rust and anti-wear."

"I have the detailed refining book of Saren Steel in hand, but if I want to refine it on a large scale, I'm afraid I have to open a steelmaking workshop."

"Then open a steelmaking workshop!"

Fitbit raised his eyebrows: "Steelmaking workshops are not cheap, at least one hundred thousand kronor will be invested, and there are many equipments that we don't have in the north, so we either make them ourselves or go to the east to buy them."

"Then let's make it ourselves. Money is not a problem. When the time comes, we can produce this kind of Saren steel, not only for our own use, but also for sale everywhere."

"A good idea, but the ore will be a problem."

Rosen smiled: "That's no problem."

"There is a large iron mine in Furnace Ash Town. The production capacity is not enough, and many of them are sold to other places. I bought it from the Lord Furnace Ash at a slightly higher price. For the sake of being a highland lord, he will definitely be willing to sell it to others. I."

Fitbit said: "Then there is no problem with the launch tube."

"Then there is the rune ball. This thing requires absolute stability and cost. It can be made of soft iron with a certain strength."

"Soft iron?"

Fitbit showed Rosen a sample.

At a glance, Rosen found that it looked like lead, but it was harder than lead, but not as heavy as lead. It had very good mana resistance and was suitable as a base for rune balls.

"Is this cheap?"

"It's wrought iron activated by a special method, a few krones per Fossa."

"Then the steelmaking workshop will open an extra soft iron furnace."

At this point, the core problem has a solution.

Of course, how to ensure stability, how to achieve mass production, and how to make it as cheap as possible, there are many, many things to pay attention to.

It takes time to do a lot of experimentation and a little bit of polishing.

"Fine, let's get started."

In the following time, all the powerful mages in Crescent Town cooperated together and began to build a new weapon designed by Rosen, which was initially named 'Rune Ball Thrower'.

After a busy day, when they met at the dinner party, everyone agreed that the name 'rune ball thrower' was too academic and not nice enough.

"Then take a common name again?"

All the mages agreed unanimously, and then rushed to make suggestions.

"Spitter?"

"No, I think it's called Dragon Slayer."

"Slaying dragons is not good, it's too arrogant, and it's easy to provoke real dragons. I think it's called a butcher."

"The butcher is not good either, it is easy to scare people, and it also makes people feel that the lord is a bloody and cruel guy."

After all, there is no unanimous opinion.

Rosen said, "I think it's better to call it a gun."

"gun?"

Rosen nodded: "Look, the spear attack method is to stab forward. Our thrower also points along the muzzle and stabs forward in a straight line."

"The gun is also more neutral, neither good nor bad, and it is easy to be remembered by people."

All the mages look at me and I look at you, and finally agree.

"Then call it a gun."

Therefore, at a very ordinary lord's dinner party, the gun, a seemingly ordinary and terrifying weapon, appeared in the Golden Land for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, various mages began to discuss various improvement methods of the gun.

While the discussion was in full swing, Mayor Harrick tapped on the table lightly and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, please pay attention!"

After everyone turned their heads to look at him, he said: "I want to remind everyone that although your ideas are extremely subtle and intelligent, there are not enough people in the territory."

A total of more than 3 people built fortresses, built colleges, recruited troops, and opened workshops, draining all idle labor at once.

This is also because it is the late autumn slack season, and if the farming season is busy, there will be a lot less people available.

Then, everyone turned their heads to look at the lord Rosen.

Rosen coughed lightly: "Two methods. One short-term and one long-term."

"In the short term, we will start recruiting, recruit people from outside the highlands, and give a settling allowance to each one who comes, and share the fields and help build houses."

The lords in the highlands have a good relationship. Recruiting people from their territories is easy to make enemies, and it is not cost-effective. Recruiting from outside the highlands is no problem.

"In the long run, local people are encouraged to give birth. A sum of money will be rewarded for giving birth."

These days, people pay more attention to the bloodline family, and there are no contraceptive measures, and the children are basically born with "puff puff puffs".

If you still bring reward money, it is estimated that as long as the stomach is still alive, no matter the little girl or the old woman, it will be packed immediately.

Harrick said: "Lord, this is a lot of money."

In this way, 500 Austrian gold coins will not last long.

Rosen said: "Don't worry about money, I will find a way."

Optical glass, microscopic mirrors, and petrochemical construction staffs are all ready for sale, and they are not short of money.

If it really didn't work, he wrote to the Princess of the Eastern Realm to borrow it, and the sisters would definitely borrow it.
