Chapter 439 Designing and Making New Weapons
After successfully containing the attack of the beast tide, Ellington quickly resumed production and construction in the next few days. Thanks to the large number of employed elemental creatures, the snow and frozen soil could not stop the construction work here at all. On the contrary, due to After surviving the threat of the beast tide together, the residents of Ellington became more harmonious with each other and worked harder.
The greenhouses built by dwarf craftsmen and dwarf technicians were quickly rolled out. In just a few days, they successfully built a greenhouse covering an area of nearly a thousand acres. Among the first greenhouses built by Tang En, The vegetables are now growing vigorously, so everyone no longer doubts the effectiveness of the greenhouse.
Now Grandia is shouldering the important task of raising seedlings. She uses her druid power to cultivate vegetable and fruit seedlings and then transplants them into the greenhouse. According to the growth rate after her simple catalysis, it is estimated that it only takes In more than half a month, the first batch of vegetables will be harvested, and Ellington residents will be able to eat fresh vegetables and fruits in this cold winter.
However, Tang En has not come forward these days, even when Ilia comes to find him, which makes Fiona and the others very surprised - Tang En is already famous for doting on Ilia.
Of course, Tang En didn't feel anything himself. He was just busy designing new weapons, or in other words, magic pistols.
The dwarf musket can be further strengthened after improvement. I have seen so many fantasy works on the earth, and I have seen a lot of magic bullets. If you get the miniature magic circle, you can make various special effects enchanted bullets, but that is the next step. thing.
What Tang En wants to design now is a purely magical weapon.
The actual design of this weapon is not as simple as it is said, because the magic regulator that plays the role of the magazine is actually a micro-aggregator of various magic arrays. These magic arrays are not ordinary magic arrays, but combine those spells. The magic circle transformed from the release process.
After all, as a weapon that releases spells, it is impossible for him to directly cast a constant fireball spell - what is constant will only be a fireball, not "release a fireball".
Therefore, he needs to implement the spellcasting process of "releasing fireballs" through the magic circle. This is not simple. It involves complex spellcasting principles. The runes carved on the magic circle must correspond one-to-one with the corresponding spells. And at the same time, it is necessary to complete the aggregation of elements, absorb magic power, build spell models, and release spells. These complex steps must be completed inside a miniature magic circle...
This is a great test of Tang En's magic strength and micro-sculpture skills.
Fortunately, his secondary profession is alchemy, so he has abundant knowledge in magic circles - these are gifts from the goddess.
In the bedroom, Tang En stared at the half-finished magic pistol in his hand and murmured to himself: "Not only are you releasing offensive spells, but you can also prepare some auxiliary spells... acceleration spells? Magic armor?"
When using weapons to fight, it is obviously very good if you can use some auxiliary spells to increase your combat ability at the same time, especially the acceleration spell. The sudden increase in movement speed and attack speed will definitely surprise the enemy, and armor Spell-like spells can greatly improve the defense capabilities of warriors and increase their chances of survival.
"Since auxiliary spells are to be added...offensive spells should be reduced accordingly. In order to avoid encountering elemental immunity, two single-target attack spells, Ice Arcane or Fire Arcana, are prepared, and a range spell is prepared. Three attack spells are enough. enough……"
Tang En checked the magic regulator. The magic regulator he finally designed was a runner. Different magic arrays were made into card shapes and inserted into it to ensure expandability. The position was finally fixed in the center of the pistol, and the overall structure was similar to a revolver. The gun's wheel determines the current spell to be released through the energy-guiding pointer at the firing pin position.
"Three offensive spells, one auxiliary spell, and one defensive spell are enough."
Tang En rubbed his chin. This magic energy pistol requires a verification method, so the gun body itself needs to prepare a resonance magic circle similar to the magic circle to verify the identity. In addition, a separate trigger needs to be prepared, isn't it? Insurance (verification magic has served as insurance), but a life-saving function.
In that separate trigger, you can prepare a fifth-level teleportation spell or a fourth-level invisibility spell, both of which have good life-saving effects. However, the improvement cost of these two spells is too high. Tang En now uses the magic circle to reconstruct the third-level spells. It’s very troublesome, let alone a fourth-level spell.
I am afraid that only after he continues to improve his proficiency in the reconstruction of magic circles can he continue to increase the intensity of his spells.
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "As for third-level spells...flash spell is a good choice."
The flashing spell is equivalent to a short-range teleportation spell. If you encounter danger, you can instantly escape from the dangerous area. It is definitely a very cost-effective spell for saving lives.
Nora, who was lying next to her, looked at those Twain boredly and kept muttering about her candy house (more like reminding Twain). She felt incredible that Twain could focus on such boring things for so long.
In the end, Tang En determined the spells of the first-generation magic pistol: choose two of the three first-order single-target spells fireball, ice arrow, and arcane missile, choose one of the three second-order group spells pyrolysis, frost nova, and arcane impact. Second-level defensive spells: arcane shield, lava armor, ice armor, choose one of three, plus the verification magic circle on the gun itself, and a fixed life-saving flash spell, on a small magic pistol , a total of six magics are gathered.
And this is not fixed. Due to Tang En's scalable design, the magic circle is carried by a separate card, and the spells of the magic pistol can be adjusted by inserting into the wheel of the magic regulator, so it can be completely customized according to combat needs. to change spells.
Even after Tang En becomes proficient in magic circle reconstruction in the future, the magic energy pistol can even be loaded with expensive high-level magic crystals to replace high-level spells to achieve greater lethality!
Just this small magic pistol, as long as it can be mass-produced, can allow Tang En to have a magic gun warrior who is not a magician but can rival the junior magician army.
After all, it is very difficult for a junior magician to cast spells proficiently, but with a magic pistol, he can pull the trigger without thinking the moment the enemy appears and cast spells instantly. Tang En even felt that the appearance of the magic pistol would deprive him of the magic power. The noble status of those magic apprentices and junior magicians.
When magic is no longer mysterious and can be used by ordinary people, will anyone still be willing to respect and worship mysterious magicians?
This is a big problem.
Perhaps, it would be better to keep this kind of thing firmly in your own hands in a short period of time.
Tang En was even more certain of the need to increase identity verification. After all, this was a big killer that even children could use. If word spread, the whole world would change dramatically.
"combination!"
An idea flashed through, and the various parts scattered around him began to be quickly assembled and assembled together in an orderly manner. Finally, it became a pistol full of futuristic atmosphere, because the gun body was made of Mithril universal alloy. , the overall appearance is a kind of bright silver, the rigid lines of the gun body and the rounded grip form a sharp contrast, the right arc fits the curvature of the palm of the hand, and it is very comfortable to hold in the hand.
Since it is not a physical bullet, the barrel does not need to be as rounded as the revolver. It still maintains the overall rigid lines, which can also reduce deformation and facilitate the transmission of magic power.
The Mithril Universal Alloy with an increased proportion of silver thread flowers is light and has high magic affinity, making it very suitable for conducting magic and releasing spells.
As the main carrier of the magic array, those magic chips, which are about the size of a memory card but thicker, are the core of the entire magic pistol and where Tang En's hard work lies. The chips are made of pure mithril and are engraved with fine details. The complex magic array, at first glance, looks like an electronic chip on the earth, covered with complex circuits.
The side of the chip is engraved with very obvious icons based on the spell patterns carried by this chip, making it easy to select quickly using the scroll wheel.
Although magic iron and fine gold are both magic metals, after Tang En's test, they were unable to carry such a delicate magic structure, and mithril barely qualified. It is precisely because of this that the manufacturing cost of the magic pistol has been raised.
The current first-generation magic pistol is the final plan finalized by Tang En after repeated testing and thinking since he has been sleepless these days. He has taken into account the convenience of casting, the comfort of the handle, and the loading as much as possible. The speed of the magic crystal and other aspects.
The most important thing is the auxiliary aiming aspect - since the user does not necessarily have the ability to mentally lock the target, the spell released using the magic pistol cannot lock the target after it is released. It will only fly in a straight line, so for There are extremely high requirements on the user's reaction speed and vision.
It's like practicing pistol shooting on Earth, except that the physical bullets are energy bullets and are more powerful.
Therefore, in order to reduce the shooting error, Tang En added an auxiliary magic, the zero-level spell detection technique, to the gun chamber... no, it is no longer called the gun chamber, it should be called a magic release.
He didn't think of using the detection technique at first. The first thing he tried was the second-level spell weakness perception, but in the end he chose the detection technique.
After stabilizing the detection technique, the gun user can sense the movement trajectory of the opponent as long as he concentrates, and can predict to a certain extent, and can also analyze the target's current information, which is very cost-effective.
The zero-level spell was used here, and it produced an effect that surprised Dun End. With the assistance of the detection technique, the accuracy of shooting increased by at least half!
This further confirms the saying - there are no useless spells, only useless magicians.
After tidying up the room a little, Tang En went out with the best brainchild he had created so far since he came to Purandal.
He is in a very excited mood now and urgently needs to test the power of his new weapon.
Once this plan is determined, Tang En plans to establish an elite force with magic pistols as weapons!
Then the design drawings can be handed over to Magic Energy Engineering researchers and let them study how to mass-produce them.
