The Sims Evolved from Goblins

Chapter 248 Rune Magic Array

The main function of the gun body and muzzle is to relieve pressure.

Therefore, the stress will be much lower.

With a good start, all you need to do is optimize.

"Boys, let's go back!"

Li Meng carried the magic cannon and walked in the direction he came from.

In the next few days, Li Meng only did one thing.

That is to repeatedly optimize the various data of the magic cannon.

Five days later, there was another roar of shelling deep in the forest.

The forest where the test site is located has long since become a mess.

A large number of trees fell across the forest.

This time the shelling continued for more than half a month.

It’s a new day, morning.

In the testing ground, Li Meng stood next to a huge and heavy magic cannon.

The magic cannon has a caliber of 200 mm.

The thickness of the muzzle and breech reaches 300 mm.

The diameter of the entire muzzle and barrel reaches 800 mm.

The entire gun body is about five meters long, and the diameter of the gun tail reaches three meters.

"A thing with such a large mass must have very high structural strength requirements for the ship."

Li Meng had some doubts that the wooden ship could really bear the weight of the magic cannon?

"It seems that the structure of the floating battleship and gun deck needs to be thickened."

However, Li Meng does not intend to terminate the construction of the first floating ship.

The first floating ship was an experimental prototype.

It will be redesigned according to needs in the future.

Li Meng knelt down and picked up a cannonball from the ground.

The next step is to make artillery shells with explosive capabilities.

Although it is easy to say, it is very difficult to do.

Although the magic in this world is omnipotent.

But how to make multiple rune magic arrays work together is a big problem.

Li Meng and Xiaobai discussed for several days and nights when engraving the rune magic circle in the cannon barrel.

Finally, the combination of seven rune magic arrays was determined.

The seven rune magic arrays are the bursting fireball rune, the magic transfer rune, the magic restraint rune, the magic barrier rune, the magic amplification rune, the magic strengthening rune, and the magic gathering rune.

You can make the magic cannon yourself.

After all, the job of forging cannons can be left to the goblins.

All he needs to do is carve the final rune magic circle.

But as a consumable item, it is better to make it popular.

Li Meng does not intend to become a slave to war.

A lifetime of hard work making cannonballs.

So the production of artillery shells must be simplified.

And you can't use mithril to carve rune magic circles.

The value of mithril is too high, and it would be too wasteful to use it on cannonballs.

"Let's go back!"

Li Meng picked up the magic cannon and left the messy testing site.

Over the next few months, the forest outside the Iron Cave became quiet.

Li Meng was concentrating on studying the method of making explosive shells in the Iron Cave.

"Woof woof, go play while I'm busy, boss!"

In the afternoon, the underground river bank of Iron Cave.

Li Meng sat on the shore and stared at the big iron ball in his hand in a daze.

Wang Wang next to him rubbed Li Meng's thigh.

Wangwang came back several months ago.

This added a group of jumping Scrooges to the Iron Cave.

Scrooge loved the hot iron caverns.

There are fire crystals in the iron cave, indicating that it is a place where the fire element is deposited.

As a fire attribute monster, Scrooge would naturally like such an environment.

"Woo!"

Wangwang purred a few times, then jumped away.

Looking at the big iron ball in his hand, Li Meng sighed in his heart.

The production of cannonballs encountered difficulties.

At Xiao Bai's suggestion, Li Meng mixed fire crystal powder with water slime slime to create an enchanting liquid.

Although enchanted liquids are not as superconducting as mithril.

But it’s not unusable.

But the only drawback of this enchanting liquid is its instability.

"roar!"

At this moment, a barking roar suddenly sounded from behind.

Li Meng went out looking for fame.

It was discovered that Wang Wang accidentally hit a stone.

The body expands subconsciously.

The body grew bigger and bigger, eventually becoming a big guy with a diameter of five meters.

This scene made Li Meng's eyes light up.

Looking back at the cannonball in his hand, Li Meng's eyes lit up.

"Since delaying the fuse doesn't work, let's use the collision fuse."

Although the structure of the collision fuse is a bit more complicated.

But there is no way to simplify it.

The instability of enchanted liquids is the best thing about making collision fuses.

Having an idea, Li Meng stood up.

He hurried towards his alchemy platform.

In the following months, Li Meng only did one thing.

That is to simplify the artillery shell production process.

One day four months later, in the afternoon.

The most important experiment was officially launched at the test site.

This time, an artillery platform appeared in the test site.

The ground is paved with a thick layer of wooden boards.

Magic Cannon also made a steel cannon base with pulleys.

Li Meng held a cannonball with a magic circle engraved with fiery red runes on its surface and stuffed it into the muzzle.

The cannonball is not solid, but hollow inside.

There is a fire crystal inside.

The fire crystal inside only acts as something similar to explosives.

When the intensity of the force on the cannonball exceeds a certain upper limit.

The explosive rune magic circle on the surface of the cannonball will be activated.

This activation is achieved by relying on the instability of the fire crystal.

Once the shell of the shell explodes, the fire crystal inside will explode.

The intensity of the explosion is related to the size and magic value of the fire crystal.

"Everyone retreat, you will die!"

Li Meng waved his hand and drove away the nearby goblin brothers.

Hearing this, the big goblin quickly retreated.

Seeing that the goblin brothers had entered a safe distance.

Li Meng then took out the fire crystal and inserted it into the groove of the high-end rune magic circle.

Then he adjusted the angle and aimed the magic cannon at a mountain several kilometers away in the north.

The magic cannon can be tilted up to 40 degrees.

When deployed on an airship, a special gun mount will be designed.

The upward tilt will only be higher.

The problem of the shell falling out of the barrel at the downward tilt angle is also easy to solve.

The shell entering the barrel will not touch the bottom of the barrel.

A space will flow out at the bottom of the barrel to expose the fireball explosion.

Therefore, when designing, the diameter of the bottom of the barrel is slightly smaller than the gun body.

When the shells are loaded into the chamber, they will be stuck in the barrel due to their own weight.

Therefore, they will not fall out even at a depression angle.

Finally, Li Meng took out a small hammer and smashed it against the fire crystal.

With a "bang", the fire crystal flashed.

As the magic power leaked out, the magic rune magic circle of magic power absorption lit up.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the magic cannon burst violently.

The deafening sound of artillery followed and echoed in the world.

A dazzling tongue of fire spewed out of the muzzle.

A white smoke swept across the forest.

A few seconds later, a mountain five kilometers away suddenly flashed with fire.

A huge mushroom cloud of fire slowly rose from the cliff halfway up the mountain.

The flames and shock waves of the explosion tore a large area of ​​the mountain.

For a while, rocks rolled and gravel flew.

After a while, the flames gradually dissipated.
