Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 570.The Power of the Magic Cannon

The goblin cannons in the ruins are divided into 3 types. The smallest caliber is not much larger than Rand's clenched fist, and the largest caliber is a circle larger than the head of the magic pattern tiger.

The structure of the three types of gun barrels is almost exactly the same as the magic pattern, which is a long tube. The outer magic pattern is responsible for absorbing magic elements, and the inner magic pattern is responsible for accelerating the ammunition in the barrel.

Rand took out some magic crystals from the secret room where the artillery was stored, and used them as the source of magic for the goblin cannon, and tested them separately.The conditions of the test are very simple. Set up a half-body armor without magic patterns 50 meters away, and test three guns of each type for a power test.

The test process is not complicated, but the results are very interesting. In the same case of firing an iron crossbow bolt, the smallest caliber cannon can barely penetrate the iron armor without magic pattern; the largest caliber cannon has a better penetration effect. , but requires crystals 5 times the minimum caliber.

After switching to shotguns, artillery of all calibers cannot penetrate iron armor. At the same time, the amount of ammunition that can be fired by large-caliber artillery is much higher than that of small and medium-caliber artillery. Of course, the number of crystals required by large-caliber artillery is also more.

Even with the mental preparation, the power of the artillery is so small that it still surprised Rand. With the current situation that the average person in the Knights of the Galloping Horse has heavy magic-weave armor, there is no room for it to be used at all.

"Rand, let me just say, this thing is too weak and the cost is too high. Instead of using the magic crystal like this, it's better to put it directly on the magic pattern weapon!" Seeing that the magic pattern cannon can't even penetrate the iron armor, Agni happy.

"You're right," Rand stroked the fire, thinking about why the power of these artillery pieces was so unbearable. After deliberation, he found a junior magic mouse to test, a junior magic mouse over 2 meters in length, At a distance of 20 meters, it was smashed in half by the smallest caliber magic-weave cannon; at 50 meters, although the power of the shells decreased, it was still no problem to directly kill a junior mouse.

"Rant? What are you doing?" Gu Leya was a little puzzled as she watched Rand toss back and forth to kill a few magic mice that should have been served on the table.

"I don't think the power of this cannon is too small, but our armor is too powerful. Now even if there is no magic pattern on our armor, we have added a lot of black iron. In addition, the dwarves will also add strong runes, which are stronger than ordinary armor. The iron plate must have been greatly strengthened. Such a small cannon must be difficult to fight against such armor."

"That's right, as I said just now, why are you wasting these junior mice?" Agni said disdainfully.

"Who says it's a waste, isn't there some meat in it?" Rand waved his hand, ready to pack it up and send it to the college cafeteria.But before that, he still has one final test, which is to directly use his own magic power to activate the magic pattern cannon without using the magic crystal.

I saw Rand holding the cannon body with both hands, raised the elevation angle of the cannon, and pointed at the farthest cliff of the tiankeng, transmitting his magic power into the cannon body formation.

"Bang~" The magic pattern on the cannon body in front of Rand suddenly lit up, and the crossbow bolt made a crackling sound at the muzzle due to high-speed friction with the air, and a fireball shot out like a meteor, hitting the edge of the top of the tiankeng.

In the shock of Agni, Magic Tiger and Gu Leya, Lante said indifferently: "Sure enough, this cannon can not only consume magic crystals, but even consume magic crystals as an emergency measure. The real usage is to directly Launch with magic power!"

"Then... that has to be high-level to make sense! If an ordinary magician shoots it, at most it can shoot through non-magic armor." Agni still doesn't give up.

"Even if it's only high-level, it's meaningful. Wendy, Yinghuo, Jonny, Sophia, and Lili are all about to reach high-level, but they all lack combat magic!" Gu Leya saw the usefulness of these cannons, " If they can each have one, they don’t need to spend energy learning combat magic.”

"Yes, and we will have many magicians and magisters who focus on production in the future. These cannons can be used as backup weapons." Lante nodded, "But for now, the greater significance of these cannons is that they are rare weapons in the territory." Metal reserves, the material of these gun barrels is really solid, I want to build a magic furnace for the new industrial zone after melting them all!"

"Who is so annoying! They are going to be repaired soon, and they are making trouble for me!" Before Lante could continue, Teresa, the big goblin in charge of building maintenance, flew over, and she was so aggressive that she wanted to settle accounts with Lante. It took a while to coax her to calm down.

……

Until March rose, Rand and Gulea were studying the metal plates in the library in the ruins.

As Lant conjectured, the metal version is similar to the tapes and hard drives in his hometown. Putting them into the magic circle in the room next to the magic furnace can release some kind of holographic projection, allowing the viewer to be in the knowledge of the goblin, and the information Transmitting beyond the language barrier, the meaning is directly transferred to the viewer's brain.

After preliminary screening, these metal plates recorded the goblin's craft, technology, spells and magic circle knowledge, especially the space magic, metal smelting, coinage, etc. involved in the ruins, which are very practical Knowledge, just makes Lante regret that there is no goblin's world view or magic view.

"It's such a pity that such a powerful civilization disappeared overnight, and their descendants turned into this." After watching the holographic projection, Gu Leya also sighed similarly to Agni and Rand, " I don't even know what they did?"

"I guess no matter what it is, it has something to do with arrogance and blindness." Rand said with a smile.

Taking advantage of only him and Gu Leya in the room, Rant handed her a space ring, "This is the complete remains of the goblin demigod, you should be able to use it to at least become a legend, right?"

Gu Leya's eyes widened. She thought that there was only one demigod remains here, which belonged to the giant dragon Betos, but she didn't expect that Lante actually took one.

"Rand, this is very precious. You should give it to Halkala or other people who need it first..." the dragon girl lowered her head. Although she really wanted to take the ring, she was a complete demigod Bones are too precious.

"Halkara has her own path. Whether it is Tania or me, I hope you can become a legend. The dean of her magic academy must be a legend anyway. In addition, don't forget to save the remaining bones. Give it to me, it can be the core of the space." Rant smiled and forced the ring into the hand of the dragon girl, but felt a pain in his feet.

"Whoops"

Guleia flicked her tail excitedly, just in time to draw Rand "Ah, sorry, I'm so excited"
