The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 230 Guided Rockets
The detonation methods of nuclear charge are divided into gun detonation and implosion detonation. No matter how it is manufactured, four things are needed, neutron source, fission material, neutron reflector and high-energy detonator.
"Hiss, it's a little scary."

Except for high-energy priming explosives, there is nothing that Ickert can handle.

In fact, the Ratman's doomsday rocket is not a real nuclear weapon. If its detonation method and detonation conditions can really reach the level of triggering a chain reaction, I am afraid that the Ratman would have ruled the world long ago.

After all, when the Ratman pulled down Dark Moon Mobletz, they also used the extremely buggy dark energy engine Nun steam engine to power them. If they had nuclear energy, they wouldn't have to go through a lot of trouble.

Nuclear fission is more likely to cause accidents, and it is definitely more stable and safe than Dimension Stone.

Ickert believes that at least the charge of the doomsday rocket is still mainly refined dimensional stone, which reduces the technical difficulty of imitation.

The Laidley clan is not without the technology of refining dimensional stones. Although the production within the clan is low, they will still refine a small part of dimensional stones in exchange for higher prices.

As for the chemical components in these fluorescent stones, Ickert had no way of knowing, so naturally he couldn't improve the smelting methods of the Ratmen in a targeted manner.

Fortunately, the Ratman's small workshop production can be easily replicated, and the blast furnace in the territory was recently used for this job.

This time, instead of ore and carbon, what was added to the furnace was the dimensional stone and its associated magic-forbidden materials, so as to ensure that the dimensional stone maintains a relatively stable magical property at high temperatures.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that the boiler will blow up. Ickert doesn't know if there will be a problem on his side. Anyway, the Ratman's side must have been blown up several times.

After refining a whole batch of dimensional stones, only a small piece of refined dimensional stones was obtained. Ickert knew that this was not the limit of dimensional stones, but he couldn't squander raw materials like the Ratman.

Right now, it is only necessary to stimulate this dimensional stone with energy-gathering blasting means to release the terrifying energy in it.

Its power will certainly not be lower than the mana cloud burst invented by Ickert himself.

The next thing to do is to put these big babies into the rocket.

However, Ickert still wants to further ensure the shooting accuracy of the doomsday rocket.

"My lord, can you please explain again what guidance is?"

Virgil was stunned when he first heard this word, and Ickert always seemed to be able to come up with a series of ideas that were advanced and beyond the times.

This also caused Ickert to spend a lot of time explaining these brand new war concepts every time.

"I use laser guidance as an example to explain what I want to achieve.

Suppose our target is the Ministry of Industry, then if I shine a beam of light into the factory building, the rocket will fly to the place where the light points by itself. "

"I see, you want to put a brain on the rocket!"

"Right, that is it."

In fact, Eckert also has an idea similar to that of "Sakura" rats flying rockets, and the Ratman Death Squad is a feature of the territory.

But even the Ratmen are still too heavy for the current level of aviation in the territory.

Ickert communicated with Virgil for a long time, and found that the problem lies in this aspect. Even if there is only one brain left, it is still a bit overweight.

And if you want your brain to function, the life-support equipment you need is not light, so if it's so troublesome, it's better to send a mouse to the sky.

At present, the territory has not yet developed the computer technology left by the sage of Virosen, and has zero attainments in electronic components, so there is no hope in this regard.

"In this way, I am afraid that the only way to go is remote control. A trained mage uses mental power to control the rocket wind guide circle, so as to achieve precise strikes."

"But my lord, in this way we need to set up a lot of mental power transfer points on the front line, otherwise we can't guarantee the control distance."

Virgil worried, and Ickert also understands that mental power is not electromagnetic waves after all. The mages haven't studied it yet. They only know that if there is no amplification device for a single person's mental power, it can only cover about 50 meters around.

No matter how far away, the effect of mental power will become weaker and weaker, and it will reach the point where it can only listen to perception, but cannot exert influence, which is obviously not conducive to remote control.

"I have to find Lafayette."

This kind of technical problem is probably only understood by spiritual mages.

When Ickert found Lafayette, he was changing scenes for the training Mewtwo of the Ministry of Industry.

"How to apply mental power to a super long distance, at least one kilometer?"

Lafayette was a little embarrassed. As a mage who specializes in spiritual power, it is easy to condense mental power into tentacles and extend 100 meters.

But 1000 meters, ninth-level mages and even sages are not so scary. This is not a magic novel. Does the lord know what this number means?
If it was really that strong, the spiritual mage would have killed people invisible, and would be invincible in the world!Taking the head of the enemy general in front of the two armies is like picking something out of a bag!

Who has the ability to play Mewtwo?

"However, if there is no requirement for the influence to be exerted, it is not impossible to do it."

Lafayette considered it for a while, if he only used his mental power to stir up a hair hundreds of meters away, then he could barely do it.

"What if we arrange some more amplification devices?"

"That should stir two hairs."

"What are the two hairs?"

"Hair hair."

"It's enough."

As long as Lafayette can move two hairs as he said, it shouldn't be difficult to operate the wind array to control the flight of the projectile.

It doesn't need to be smooth or precise, it just needs to minimize the error of the doomsday rocket, and strive to make the enemy feel the pressure with every shot.

"Since that's the case, let's try to control the output of these magic circles."

Ickert immediately drew several wind arrays on the ground, and made Lafayette stand far enough away.

As expected, the effect of ordinary mental provocations is negligible, even with the booster device that Lafayette bought himself.

But all this is different after Ickert has described several key nodes.

Using these nodes as a guide, Ikert added provocative-amplifying runes at the end, which would amplify Lafayette's impact.

"Now, try to control the output of these circles from the nodes!"

Lafayette obeyed Ickert's order and stirred up the magic circle again.

"what?"

This time, even he himself could feel the obvious magic power change in the magic circle.

The output is really changed!

If you add a few more such wind arrays at the tail of the rocket and arrange them equidistantly, you can adjust the flight attitude of the rocket through the output gear!Then realize where to hit where!
This is much more maneuverable than those flying scrolls!

With the foundation of this experiment, Ickert finally felt relieved, and directly ordered the Ratman to bring a rocket to modify, and asked Lafayette to try to control its trajectory.

It's just that the final result is somewhat unsatisfactory.

"The projectile body is always rotating, and the position of the nozzle is always changing. A small amount of offset will cause irreversible misalignment. If there is no intensive training, no one will be able to operate this thing well."

Lafayette's final experiment came to this conclusion.
