Chapter 164 Let’s Change the Name
After the most critical process of magic guns, which is to use rune groups to equate spells, the subsequent design is very simple.
Integrated Rune Plate, this is the name given by Abes to the universal base plate representing the flaming arrow that Kronos made.
It is not large in size, but is difficult to bend or twist.
In the design of the entire rune set, we can see that Kronos used the most basic set of runes as much as possible, and also used copper powder and quartz powder as materials as much as possible.
Of course, quartz powder is just a nice name. It has a name that sounds cheaper and more down-to-earth: sand.
After all, that’s what silica is.
It can be annoying garbage, a cheap building material, or play an important role in certain technologies.
In short, the cheap materials and low learning costs make the production of these things almost like grenades, becoming cheap products that can be mass-produced by workers.
However, the inability to bend or twist also means one thing.
The traditional, gun-like appearance is probably not possible.
Finally, after installing a triangular output substrate and finally diverting the energy to a set of runes under a fire law system, a sample without an outer shell but ready to be activated at any time was placed in front of Abes.
Is this the gun I want?
Abes tried hard to see some clues, but the huge triangular structure in front of him did not give Abes' imagination any chance.
Sure enough, when I didn't force myself to promote the structures that I was familiar with and wanted, what came out became more localized.
For example, something like a grenade is very powerful and has a simple structure.
It doesn't matter what it looks like. Because the cultural influence of magic is so profound, many people even suggest making it into a shape full of spikes, similar to a sea urchin.
They probably wanted to make the explosion more concrete.
However, due to various reasons such as complicated production process and inconvenience in carrying and transportation, these incredible plans were of course rejected by Abes.
And if it weren't for Abe's insistence, they would have preferred to make it in a long strip shape rather than a small spherical shape like the melon grenade.
This is where Abes plays a positive role.
But there is no doubt that he has played a definitely negative role in terms of guns.
It is impossible to keep the barrel of the gun.
Under what circumstances is a barrel needed?
Of course, this is because it requires gunpowder or steam propulsion.
In addition, Abes also considered whether to try the electromagnetic gun that has been developed in real life but is quite useless and can only be used by firefighters.
However, since he couldn't even successfully replicate the electromagnetic reaction, he was ultimately unable to develop this application.
When these roads are blocked, how can a new weapon have a long barrel?
The same goes for the trigger.
In reality, when choosing a trigger for a firearm, one needs an activating device that facilitates rebound, and also requires a certain torque to release the stored elastic potential energy to activate the primer.
However, once you choose to use magic, you can use some simpler methods to switch it on or off.
In short, the barrel, the trigger, and other details...some traditions and different choices of paths make many feasible options not the first choice in this world.
It can be said that after giving up airtightness and giving up designing bullets and projectiles, it is natural that the things in front of you will become something you can't imagine.
Finally, with the help of researchers led by Kronos and Hyo Nagi, the design of a new weapon was placed in front of Abes.
Although the outer shell has not been installed yet, Abes is very sure that the thing in front of him should form a triangle when put together.
There are only two things to discuss next.
How to design the shell?
Looking at the eyes cast towards him by the crowd, Abes naturally waved his hand.
If he followed his idea, he would of course put the outer shell of the gun on, and the final result would only be a huge and strange-looking appearance similar to the Negev machine gun group.
A handle? What kind of handle does magic need?
Therefore, new weapons do not need to be scald-proof or easy to hold.
Pointing and sighting?
No, the target of the flaming arrow depends on the direction the caster is aiming. This has been tested. Even if the weapon is a bit cheap, it will float towards the visible target after it is generated.
Casting distance?
This was probably the most frustrating thing for Abes. After using the rune set to replicate the spell, unexpectedly the range of the spell was also replicated.
In the real world, any rifle is based on a range of hundreds of meters or even nearly a thousand meters.
The flame arrow magic gun in front of him actually inherited the 120-foot range of the flame arrow.
It's definitely not close, but it's definitely not far either. It's not even good enough to be used as a substitute for a pistol.
All in all, 120 feet... this number is extremely precise no matter how it is measured, which also limits the possibility for researchers to further increase the range.
Because—that’s how the spell is written!
This restriction undoubtedly dampened the excitement of Bing Nag and others that they had grasped the "truth".
In addition to the shell design, another thing that needs to be considered is the supply of bullets... no, it should be the supply of magic crystals.
The difference between the two is that the bullet is the attacking part that is shot out, while the magic crystal is actually the energy supply part.
But the similarity is that they all require large and rapid consumption and supply.
Abes was excited again about this.
I can't even provide the appearance of the gun, so I can't mention the design of the bullet chain?
So, Abes quickly recounted a series of classic machine gun feeding methods in his mind.
In the end, after considering a series of difficulties including manufacturing difficulty, the final choice was a supply design that was similar to a disc.
And with a triangle followed by a disc, the shape cannot be more strange.
Holding it with both hands, using it as a gun?
Don’t think about it, the focus or whether it is used smoothly or not does not give this opportunity.
Since there is no need to aim, there is no need to hold the gun with both hands to ensure shooting stability.
As a result, it does not necessarily need to take up the entire palm or arm.
Sister Agatha said, "It can be tied to the arms or even the legs..."
Abes had witnessed this nun having several daggers tied to her body when she was controlled before.
At this moment, making such a proposal is very consistent with the nun's identity as a former trickster.
After hearing the other party's proposal, all the thoughts about "gun" in Abes' mind suddenly disappeared.
Because, what replaced it was a series of more handsome designs.
"Grandma Sister Agatha, you mean the hidden arrow?"
"Uh..." Sister Agatha paused, as if she had not expected the adult in front of her to say that word.
"No, no, Master Abes, I meant the arm armor."
"The switch can be placed in the palm of your hand to avoid accidental touches, and it can only be triggered when you hold it tightly."
more and more like...
Abes closed his mouth silently. Fortunately, they designed a fire-breathing spell instead of a sharp blade.
Otherwise, would every soldier under his command who wore this device need to cut off a finger?
----------
As the assembly line was quickly adjusted, countless metal minerals and parts needed for engraving rune groups were thrown in.
As the accuracy requirements were not high and only some basic designs needed to be added, Abes quickly - and this quickly means within twenty minutes - obtained the first magic gun equipped with a shell and a magic crystal supply disc.
No, now Abeth had to rename his design, "Magic Arm Guard."
It was an unremarkable looking thing that looked absolutely nothing like a magical weapon.
In order to leave space for people to move around, but at the same time to fit the rune group in, the part on this arm armor is simply like a triangle and a small circular shield.
Moreover, in order for the controlled switch to output a stable signal, it seems particularly troublesome to wear.
When inserting it, be careful not to bend the edges of the metal plates and do not cover the parts engraved with runes, otherwise the magic power will flow into the body of the organism where it is easier to conduct magic power.
All in all, Abes put on the arm armor with a slightly excited mood and spent a long time.
He was also quite excited and clasped his palms together.
Abes was also extremely excited when he felt the slow rebound touch transmitted from his palm.
Of course, Abes still knew the rule that you cannot aim a "gun" at people.
Spells are guided by vision and thought...
Therefore, while ensuring that his palms were relaxed, Abes carefully looked at the open space on the side.
While staring at the target he wanted to find, Abes clenched his palms tightly.
The next moment, as the magic power flowed and wrapped around Abes's arm, a flame floated out.
The metal plates placed on the ground in advance represented the armor, and the target object behind the metal plates was directly ignited under the high temperature.
Immediately afterwards, the distortion of magic caused a series of sparks to be scattered in the air along the way.
Abes loosened his palm, and at this moment, the surface of the ground had turned red.
"Hey, the black soil has turned into red soil..."
----------
Many people always feel novelty about the birth of new things, and may even have emotions such as fear and terror.
However, the magic arm armor was not among them.
On the one hand, arm armor has been around for a long time; secondly, it is also very common to have magic items that allow people who cannot cast spells to launch powerful attacks.
In the past, it was a crystal, an expensive disposable magic item, but now, it has been replaced by an arm armor, which does not attract so much attention.
In addition, many people complained that the design of the new arm armor was too ugly.
A triangle and a circle, the meaning is unclear.
After seeing the actual product, Abesi almost couldn't help himself and asked to add a square shape to it.
But what Abes felt more was a sense of pride.
The birth of the matchlock and matchlock guns took a lot of time to promote because they required a lot of time to load and prepare, required funds for maintenance, and had the characteristics of being useless when it rained.
However, the magic arm armor that he and Kronos had created together was completely different.
With my own participation, it can be said that from the beginning of the design, every effort has been made to avoid inconvenience, disharmony, and inconvenience.
Therefore, introducing these things into the troops will definitely not cause any embarrassing situation where the combat effectiveness decreases instead of increases in a short period of time.
The only thing that was beyond Abes's expectations was that he had originally planned that after the design of the magic gun was successful, he would be able to expand his army and attract more people to join him.
But it seems that it is not possible in the short term.
Because of the advent of guns, in the real world, they need to be held with both hands, without an extra hand to hold the weapon, and they are also required to undergo shooting training, assembly training, and maintenance training, which results in a reduction in the training time for cold weapons.
Moreover, as the power of firearms increased day by day, cold weapons were eventually eliminated, which made many things unnecessary, resulting in the army's requirements for physical strength, gender and training time being less high.
In extreme cases, letting women and children take part in the battle is also the last resort for some desperate ambitious people. And why women and children can be allowed to take part in the battle is because the bullet fired from the hands of a six-year-old child has the same power as that fired from the hands of an adult.
But now, the magic gun has turned into magic arm armor...the situation is not so extreme.
In addition, there are extraordinary beings in this world such as Abes, Hyo Nagi, and General Paddy.
This also led to a situation where cold weapons did not disappear as Abes had expected.
Rather, it could be said that not only could they not gradually cancel their training in cold weapons, but they also had to increase their training because of the emergence of a new type of equipment, the magic arm armor.
The range of the long-range attack is only 120 feet, and only one arm is used, so both hands can hold the weapon. This is a challenge.
After all, before that, they had no habit of wearing arm armor on their hands.
With this new thing, they need to intensify their training to get used to having this thing while still being able to attack and defend as before.
Of course, the most important thing is the application of the new equipment, magic arm armor.
How to judge the distance, how to arrange new queues, how to make good use of the magic arm armor on the arms to be able to spit fire from a distance and block at close range?
