The shell exploded within the target range, and a thunderous bang came into everyone's ears. Gao Wen knew that the loud bang not only exploded on the target, but also exploded on the tradition of this world. From today on, the nobles' walls are no longer indestructible, and the magician's towers are no longer inconsistent. This force that can tear apart rocks and steel has been firmly controlled in the hands of the extraordinary for thousands of years, but now, it only takes a militia trained for three months to pull a wrench to achieve it.

Someone fell into a dullness.

Jenny stared at the bursting flame in a daze, measuring in her heart how powerful it was to be - although she personally participated in the optimization of the acceleration track, the moment the shell exploded was still beyond her imagination.

She thought of her terrible mentor and guessed how many shots her mentor could withstand in front of the rail gun, one shot or two shots?

It is meaningless to resist a few cannons, because in the new order created by the lord, all those who are enemies of Cecil have to face the same firing of thousands of cannons.

Enemies who tried to use magic shields and amulets to fight against thermal ray guns have verified this with their own lives.

Herty was also stunned. She thought about how different this war machine was from the bomb ditches used in the second defense war. After a moment of thinking, she realized that this was a weapon of two concepts.

Casting machines are often just a deterrent. Huge stones or burning fire balls rise in the air and hit the head or city walls with irresistible forces. The pressure it brings is fatal to traditional noble private soldiers who do not have much sense of honor and responsibility. However, in addition to the blow to morale, the damage that catapults can actually cause in a battle is actually very limited. It is just a supplement to long-range attacks when the number of combat mages is insufficient: in most cases, the number of combat mages is insufficient, and their role is often only to kill important enemy units, create positional interference or counter enemy mages.

This magic device, named "Magic Crystal Orbital Cannon" by his ancestors, is a weapon that truly targets destruction.

Accuracy, range, destructive power, stability, ease of operation... There is only one purpose of all indicators, that is, to achieve the destructive effect of the target efficiently, accurately and quickly... As the ancestors once said, when the shells explode, the castles of traditional nobles and the shield walls formed by the Knights will disappear.

Byron watched the clouds gradually dissipate in the north wind, and raised his hand to scratch his somewhat messy gray-white hair: "This thing is much more powerful than a ray gun... and it is much more powerful than a catapult."

"If there are such things on the battlefield in the future..." Philip looked into the distance and frowned, "Where should the knights and heavy armored infantry go?"

Byron glanced at the partner and shrugged: "Didn't you see it just now? The Knight was shouting for artillery next to him, and the infantry was responsible for raising bullets and pulling wrenches."

Philip inevitably fell into a state of tangle: "...I always feel that such a battle is less honor..."

Byron enlightened next to him: "Think about it, after this thing becomes popular, there are basically two types of people on the battlefield. One is the one who is killed by a cannon before he meets the person, and the other is the one who is responsible for firing the artillery. The honor on the battlefield is either a heroic battle or a final victory - now the one who fights bravely dies before the war begins, that is definitely the most honor for the final victory, so the most honor for firing the artillery..."

Philip was stunned: "Can you really explain this?"

"Otherwise, how can I explain it? I can't be glorious every time who loses, right? Then who can win a battle and surrender directly - so the one who fires the artillery is the most glorious, at least more than those who lie on the ground. You said you are the most glorious in the whole game. Who will be honored if you don't? Yes..."

Philip thought carefully, turned around and left: "...I always feel like you're talking nonsense again."

Byron looked at Philip's back and pulled the corners of his mouth bored: "Don't want the first batch of rail guns when you have the ability to install..."

Then he immediately came to Gao Wen: "Lord, will this new weapon be equipped soon?"

Gao Wen looked at the old fried dough knight and knew that the other party had become very interested in this weapon. Byron is a real combatant. He would not care whether a certain weapon is in line with the knight tradition. As long as it can effectively solve the enemy, it is good equipment. The Magic Crystal Rail Cannon is obviously such a good equipment.

"Some post-tests are needed, and then industrial mass production adjustments need to be made. It will be the spring of next year when it is sent to the production line."

Seeing a look of disappointment on Byron's face, Gao Wen smiled: "Even if there are a batch of finished rail guns now, the combat corps are not ready to be equipped - in order to use this new weapon most efficiently, we must form a new professional force."

"New professional army?" Byron woke up from the excitement of "I need Italian cannons" (just understand the spirit), and then realized what Gao Wen meant.

From the range, power, attack form, etc. of this new weapon, it is not difficult for him to judge what impact this thing can have on the war situation. This is not just "changed to a more powerful catapult". For soldiers who control magic crystal rail guns, whether it is the most basic training content or their positioning on the battlefield, or even the command methods of superior commanders to them, they must be re-customized in order to make these "big bangs" play their greatest role.

"The Cecil Combat Corps will add 'artillery' units to specifically control this heavy firepower, the organization of artillery units, training, and logistics supply in actual combat. "Gao Wen said slowly, "Moving the rail gun requires mastering certain technology. It is not like a thermal ray gun. The range of the magic crystal rail gun has exceeded the range of aiming correction based on intuitive feeling. Therefore, the manipulation of this new cannon puts higher requirements for soldiers. When aiming, it needs to use various auxiliary sights to proofread the shooting angle, use the pre-organized fire table to estimate the landing point of the shell, and it needs to be able to respond quickly to the shooting instructions issued by the commander, so it requires a high level of cultural level for soldiers - even just reading and literacy is not enough. This requires you to pay more attention when choosing the first phase of artillery."

Seeing that the Byron Knight took the order and left, Gao Wen let out a gentle sigh.

Then under his command, the soldiers and technicians fired all the prepared test bombs and live ammunition, and collected a large amount of valuable data in the process.

After the test, he called Carmier and Nicholas Egg to his side.

"Are you satisfied with this weapon?" Carmire's arcane light jumped, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Gao Wen nodded: "Very good. All aspects have met my requirements, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Do you know what it is?"

Carmire is not used to Gao Wen's ability to see through a brand new thing in an instant and immediately make a lot of practical suggestions, so he was a little stunned for a moment, but Nicholas egg was obviously more adaptable than he did. The funny man with a diameter of 1.3 meters made a buzzing sound: "The technology comes from the same as it is. After the launch of shells with an acceleration track becomes a reality, you must consider creating similar products of various sizes, models and uses..."

"That's right," Gao Wen nodded, and his eyes turned to the launching field not far away. The magic crystal rail gun dissipated heat after the continuous high-intensity shooting pressure test. Now the technicians are carefully dismantling the cover of the gun seat and observing the charging structure and overload device inside (Rebecca enhancement module) to determine what changes will happen to the precise part of the cannon after bearing these loads. "This cannon is very powerful, but it is only suitable for installation on city walls or other fixed fortifications. Moreover, the large acceleration track needs to be carried with a fixed position magic net, which means that our soldiers lack offensiveness... A weapon that cannot actively attack is destined to be incomplete."

Carmire understood what Gao Wen meant: "Minimize?"

"This is the first direction," Gao Wen nodded. "In the battlefield facing the conventional army, the cannon is too powerful. I'll find a way to reduce the shell, reduce the acceleration track, reduce energy consumption, and allow it to be driven by the magic capacitor group, so that it can be loaded on a carriage, or even disassembled and carried by the gun group soldiers. The other direction is the diversification of shells - the current shells have only one effect, that is, to kill the enemy through explosions, but since we can all fire magic devices weighing dozens of kilograms hundreds or even thousands of meters away, why not add some tricks to these magic devices?"

Carmire was immediately reminded by Gao Wen that a new idea opened the door in front of him-

As a researcher from the Gondor Empire, he never lacks innovative ideas.

"The magic device weighing dozens of kilograms... There are so many places to play," the ancient mage's tone became particularly pleasant, "I can even put in an 'Annihilation Creation'!"

Gao Wen glanced at the other party: "...You'd better say something cheaper, and it's something that can be used in this era."

"...Then I'll think about it again."

"You are responsible for the design of the artillery machinery part," Gowen nodded to Nicholas Egg, and then looked at Carmier. "You are an expert in the field of magic. I believe that with you two, it is not difficult to create more improved models that meet the requirements of the battlefield. However, the research must be in line with actual needs, and the production of new equipment must also take into account the production capacity of the production line. At present, we still focus on those key projects, and don't spend too much energy."

Nicholas' egg floated up and down for a moment, and Carmire nodded: "Please rest assured, of course I understand this."

Gao Wen suddenly remembered another thing: "Speaking of it... Santis has been leaving for two days, right?"

"Yes, he wants to complete the task you gave him as soon as possible," said Carmier. "And it can quickly establish connections with the mage circle in the capital, and the lack of talent in the territory can also alleviate early - if a group of technicians from the capital can be expanded at the same time as the population increases in spring, then everything will be perfect."

Gao Wen showed his thoughts: "Is this part of the plan going smoothly..."

He raised his head and saw Jenny and Rebecca standing not far away. The two of them pointed at the magic crystal rail cannon that was dismantled by the technicians, as if they were chatting enthusiastically.

"Jenny! Rebecca!" Gao Wen shouted.

The two girls ran over quickly, and Rebecca happily said: "My ancestor, you call me? What's the matter?"

Gao Wen nodded: "I have an idea about the Magic Net architecture. You can see if it can be realized."

"You have thought of improvement?" Jenny looked at the lord who seemed to have infinite energy and inspiration, "or have you discovered the current flaws of Magic Net?"

"No, I'm going to create a flaw for it..."

The two girls were confused at the same time: "Ah?"

Gao Wen smiled: "I plan to dig a hole..."
