Chapter 204 Quantitative Changes Produce Qualitative Changes, New Ideas for Magic Cannons
After understanding the changes in the Kingdom of God, Li Qi felt more and more that the time was running out.

Such turmoil within the Kaim pantheon, although it did not shake the faith like last time and almost disintegrated Theresia's military morale, it had an impact on both the church and the nobles.However, the magicians of the Storm Islands will not let go of the good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Back in Epsilon, I was busy all night, and I talked to Rowena again the next day, told her about the changes in the Kingdom of God, and asked about Aurora's situation by the way.

Hearing that Aurora was still sleeping, but the situation had improved a lot, Li Qi was relieved and continued to advance the research of small magic cannons.

RPG... No, FPG nicknamed Bangzipao, for the sake of arms sales, changed its official name to Magic Fireball.Before the transformation of the magic cannon was completed, the magicians could not be allowed to notice this direction in advance, so they did not call the cannon.

After another two days of testing the magic fire bomb, Rowena's information was also sent over. Artur found some materials in the magic metal list and was overjoyed.

"Tiger Mithril is a kind of Mithril that specially improves the fire resistance property. Although its performance is far inferior to fine gold, the price is only one-twentieth of fine gold, which is twice that of ordinary Mithril. According to Earl, you invented the magic gun Based on this idea, this material can be used to replace fine gold. That is to say, the service life is much shorter than that of the fine gold circle, and it is estimated to be around [-] to [-] rounds."

Artur has fully accepted Li Qi's idea, and carefully calculated the cost: "The base of the magic circle must also be replaced. The supply of molten lizard skin is not stable. We can organize a team to obtain it in the molten area, but the risk is very high." High, it’s not cost-effective. I found bloodline copper in the list, which is the same principle as tabby mithril. It is copper with improved fire resistance properties. The cost of the fire bombs can be reduced to... eight hundred gold bushels!"

The cost is [-], the ex-factory price is [-], and the final user price can reach [-] gold bushels. This is only the price of a fourth-level magic crossbow before.Moreover, the ammunition is basically free. If converted according to the service life, it is equivalent to buying an enhanced version of Fireball with a golden bushel.

This price is absolutely subversive.

Artur said regretfully again: "The range of the magic fire bomb has not improved, and the farthest is only 500 meters. I asked Instructor Youzan, and he said that when the fireball was summoned, the first half of the projectile did not follow the The fireball is completely fused, this is a flaw in the principle, and there is no way to change it."

"It can be used as a suppression weapon in the infantry company," Li Qi said, "This is equivalent to a fort magician. Against magicians of the evocation department, even if they are at the hero level, they have the power to fight. This is enough." gone."

Infantry companies, suppression weapons, turret magicians...

Artur's head was a little dizzy, he didn't quite understand these terms.

Write it down quickly, and ask Instructor Youzan later.No matter what new term the Earl said, Instructor Youzan could give an explanation.

Artur was writing notes on Pili Boy, and Li Qi said again: "From this point of view, the fireball canister can't be given up either. As long as the cannonball and the fireball are fully fused, the range should be greatly improved."

So in addition to the magic fire bomb, there is another magic fire tube...

The structure of the magic fire bomb is very simple, and the plan was quickly finalized, but there is still a lot of work to be done for the magic fire canister.

The first is the problem of bombing the barrel. Li Qi increased the tube to 150mm, but it still exploded.

Fortunately, this time Wilson took precautions in advance. At the moment of the explosion, the reinforcements came up, opened the shield, and blocked most of the shock waves and debris. The remaining debris did not penetrate the protection wrapped like an armored bear.

The problem of bombing made Li Qi wonder, why not treat the fireball technique as gunpowder?Strengthen the barrel, compress the fireball, use the explosion of the fireball as a propulsion force, and launch the projectile directly.

"Why don't you directly improve the wind arrow array, and the projectiles fired lose the power of the elements, how much damage can it do? You seem to have used the dwarf musket to hit the full-resistant leather armor before, right? What's the result?"

You Zan poured a bucket of cold water on Li Qi's head. Indeed, the experience of the earth world can be used for reference, but it cannot be directly applied.

Li Qi became ruthless, increased the tube to 200mm, and at the same time hollowed out the projectile further, this time finally the chamber did not explode.

The new magic fire cannon hit 1000 meters away in the first test, and its power is much greater than that of the magic fire bomb. The killing range has reached a radius of 30 meters, which is comparable to the 155mm howitzer in the earth world.

On the last day of July, "Aini 26-style magic fire bomb" and "Aini 26-style magic fire torch" were officially finalized.Li Qi sent two sets of samples to Xiaolongnv and Zold respectively, and asked Rose Witches to adjust the automated production line of Void Spirit to prepare for mass production.

"Next is the magic cannon..."

Although these two weapons greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of ordinary professionals, they did not fulfill the promise they made to Zold, they just proved to him that they had made progress.

The magic fire bomb and the magic fire canister correspond to the RPG and bazooka of the earth world respectively. They are only tactical weapons, and only use the third-level fireball technique, which is useless against the general protective barrier above the fourth level.

To change the style of warfare, a breakthrough must be made in strategic weapons of the magic cannon level.

But the problem is that Li Qi doesn't even have a fourth-level evocation magician here, so even if he can create a magic circle, he can't do a test.

Li Qi was worried for several days, and good news came from You Zan, who took the time to analyze the Pyroblast spell model.

"I thoroughly analyzed the spell model of Pyroblast, and found that the core of this spell is the stacking of several fireballs. In other words, the principle of Pyroblast is actually to combine multiple fireballs into one Spell model."

that's it?
Li Qi said angrily: "You don't need to analyze the magic model to know this truth, it is common sense that any magician understands."

"This common sense was just a perceptual knowledge before, but now through the analysis of the spell model, I have confirmed it rationally."

Youzan said, "Isn't that enough to inspire you?"

"You mean, let's use several fireballs to simulate the Pyroblast? I mentioned this idea at the beginning, and you said it's impossible?"

Li Qi had the idea of ​​"quantitative change produces qualitative change" at the beginning, and wanted to use multiple fireball techniques to superimpose and simulate the Pyroblast technique.But You Zan vetoed it with a mocking tone on the spot, saying that this kind of superposition could not turn the third-level spell into a fourth-level spell.

"That... I said it was impossible at the time because I felt that there was no way to accurately control multiple fireballs to converge at the same time." You Zan forcefully argued: "Now that you have created the magic fire canister, I have an idea. "

It projected the sketch on Piliboy: "Look, if multiple fireballs are fused with a cannonball and fly out with the cannonball, when they explode, don't these fireballs converge into one? Of course this convergence , is too far away from a spell constructed from a spell model, but part of the elemental power can still be superimposed together to upgrade to the level of a fourth-level spell."

You Zan said eloquently: "Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes! Let several such weapons bombard, the effect is equivalent to a magic cannon? And the operator can be a strong person, this is a subversive breakthrough! "

Li Qi was angry: "Are you trying to take my idea for yourself?"

The robot said in a pleading tone: "Can I be the signed author? You just proposed an idea, and I proved the feasibility from the technical principle!"

"How can this work?"

Li Qi pointed to the sketch and said, "Come and tell me, how can the timing of several people's fireball spells be synchronized at the millisecond level? If you can't do this, the result will only be that the first fireball spell is cast with shells." Fly out! The rest of the fireballs follow behind, and the effect is just a magic fireball and a few more fireballs. Is it possible to superimpose it into a fourth-level spell?"

You Zan turned his head in a semicircle proudly: "Ha! Your understanding of the level of magical technology is outdated! Think about the recent improvements I made to the divine power terminal."

Li Qi was stunned, divine power terminal?

The divine power terminal has been upgraded recently. The reason is that the previous "passage" was too narrow, and there is no way to absorb the divine spells cast by many people at the same time into divine power like the wooden stakes in the teleportation hall. The case of magic.

After Li Qi saw it, he asked You Zan to solve this problem without increasing the divine power terminal or expanding the divine power channel.Epsilon's magic materials are quite scarce, and there is no room to expand the divine power network.

For Youzan, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.He added a set of buffer circles controlled by divinity crystals to each divinity terminal.The buffer circle is equivalent to a small divine power well. When it detects that it is a high-level divine spell, it will be directly transmitted to the central divine power well.When a low-level divine spell is detected, first charge the divine power into the small divine power well, and then fill the central divine power well when it is free.

Recalling this improvement, Li Qi had a flash of inspiration, it turned out to be like this!
You Zan said: "Have you thought about it? Buffering the magic circle can't directly solve this problem, but as long as it is improved, the magic spells cast by several people will be blocked, and then another person will unblock them, and several people can be activated at the same time." Array."

Yes, this is really a good idea!

But this kind of weapon, which is equivalent to several magic fire bombs synchronized, can make the third-level fireball technique superimpose the effect of the fourth-level pyroblast technique?

"How will you know if you don't try?"

You Zan came up with a bad idea: "Alpha Base, which is your territory, isn't there a fourth-level protective barrier?"

Blow up your own castle! ?
Li Qi's cheeks twitched, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

"It's a wonderful idea! As expected of my mentor!"

Atul saw the synchronization device designed by Youzan, and he was overwhelmed with admiration.

After thinking about it, Li Qi decided not to compete with You Zan for the invention right.

"Then...it should be this way, this way, and this way!"

After a while, Artur drew a design sketch of the "Multi-Fireball Synchronized Magic Cannon".

It is estimated that four fireballs will be superimposed, and four sets of fireball activation devices are required, plus a synchronization system activation device.

In other words, such a cannon needs to be equipped with five gunners, but it does not need to be a hero, just level one, and the synchronization system can even be activated by trainees.

Because there are four sets of fireball magic circles and a set of synchronous magic circles, and considering that the barrel of the gun should not be too long, otherwise the shells must be made very long. Artur designed the barrel very thick, with a caliber of half meters, so that the inner wall of a circle can accommodate two fireball magic circles, and the synchronization circles can be directly connected to the breech bolt.

"The temperature generated by the four fireballs is very high, and the magic impact is very strong. The copper layer responsible for buffering must be very thick..."

As Arthur thought, in the air, a big guy with a length of one and a half meters and a thickness of one meter gradually took shape.

Artur was intimidated by his own design: "It will weigh at least a thousand kilograms..."

"With the mechanical device that can rotate up and down, left and right, and the chassis with wheels that can be dragged, this weight is nothing." Li Qi said disapprovingly: "The genuine magic cannon is much bigger."

Artur said with a heartache: "There are too many magic metals to use..."

Li Qi's complexion is not good anymore. It seems that there are tons of copper alone, and there is not enough stock in the warehouse.

Zold is a partner in this project, just go to him directly, for him, this amount is just a piece of cake.

However, Li Qi was still upset that the material was controlled by others, so he couldn't be independent.

We must build our own magical metal industry as soon as possible!
In Epsilon, the only person who is qualified for the profession of a magician is the newborn witch Eve who has the seed of Vulcan.

Thinking of Eve, Li Qi felt a little headache again, what a careless witch she is.
