Chapter 356 The plan is blocked
Before officially starting to make psionic guns, you need to have a feasible design, so Tianyou has been busy with this these days. Of course, it is still necessary to be beaten in the morning. Before Qi Xiaomei strengthens, Tianyou must rely on fighting with people and being beaten by the way to ensure that the spiritual energy will not riot, otherwise he can only stop practicing to prevent itchy attacks.
When he was on Earth, Tianyou played many types of guns. It can be said that he has used all the more popular models in the world and has had experience in disassembly and maintenance. Therefore, he is very familiar with the structure of these guns. But it is useless to just understand these, because psionic guns obviously cannot directly apply these theories, and can only be used as supplements.
The simplest difference between the two is the firing principle. The guns and gun chambers on the earth are closed, and they rely on the huge thrust generated by gunpowder gas in a sealed environment to launch ammunition. However, the working principle of the psionic gun is more like an electromagnetic gun. The magic array drawn by the inner wall of the gun body directly generates thrust on the projectile, so that the bullet can obtain huge kinetic energy and fly out of the barrel in a short period of time.
This huge difference determines that many principles of fire-strength weapons are not applicable to psionic guns, but some references can still be done.
Before, Liu Ye told Tianyou that his psionic gun was made by him himself, which cannot be considered a lie, but it is not entirely true. It should be said that Liu Ye’s psionic gun was pieced together with a pile of damaged psionic gun wreckage, so what he called manufacturing should actually be understood as integration and repair.
The reason why Zixiao Palace cannot produce psionic guns at present is the magic array engraved on these damaged parts.
To fire a projectile, the first thing to do is to do is to light four technology trees.
First, there must be one or several magic arrays that can generate huge thrust, which is the basis of everything. Fortunately, the technical information about this aspect of Zixiao Palace has been preserved, so it is not a problem. The key is that all the three technology items in the next three are lost.
The second technology tree is thrust control.
The so-called thrust can be completely understood as repulsive force, just like the repulsive force generated between magnets of the same pole. The thrust array currently mastered by Zixiao Palace is actually very small, and they are engraved on the inner wall of the psionic gun in circles. It can be understood that the psionic gun relies on the multi-level magic array to sequentially start to generate enough thrust to launch the bullet.
This process seems simple, but it is actually very precise. Because the psionic gun must be able to accurately control the time when each circle of magic array starts to exert force. If the bullet has not passed the current magic array position, the magic array will be activated in advance, it is equivalent to setting up a repulsive wall in front of the bullet. At this time, it is not adding thrust to the bullet, but blocking it from advancing.
Moreover, because the bullet does not advance at a constant speed after being affected by thrust, but is constantly accelerating, the intervals of each circle of magic arrays through the barrel are constantly changing, which makes it more difficult to control the activation time of these magic arrays.
You cannot simply use a fixed delay design to solve this problem. You must have something like a feedback circuit to accurately detect the position of the bullet and control the subsequent magic array to start at the appropriate time through a certain mechanism to obtain the appropriate thrust.
This control system must not only be able to detect the position of the bullet, but also have certain prediction capabilities and high accuracy. If the magic array is activated too early, the thrust will become resistance, and the bullet will either not be able to be fired, or the speed will decrease and lose its power. On the contrary, if the magic array is activated too late and the bullet is activated far away, the thrust will be lost in vain and cannot achieve the acceleration effect. There may even be funny urination situations, and the bullet will be directly hit on the surface of the gun as soon as the bullet flies out of the gun chamber.
If the psionic gun only fires one standard weight ammunition at a time and uses a fixed encapsulated spirit stone to stabilize the launch power, then this problem is a little easier to deal with, because after the bullet weight and input spiritual power are standardized, the acceleration regular curve can be roughly calculated based on the weight, thrust and friction coefficient of the projectile. But the problem now is that no one in Zixiao Palace understands the function, so this curve cannot be imagined. Moreover, the psionic gun does not use the encapsulated standardized spirit stone, but the user's spiritual power drive, so the amount of spiritual power input is different each time. In addition, the ballistic chaos caused by processing technology has to rely on loading shotguns to increase the hit rate, which further exacerbates the uncertainty of the projectile speed.
Originally, the number knowledge that Zixiao Palace mastered was not very advanced. Now, facing such a formula where all numbers are variables, it is naturally impossible to find the result. Therefore, the current Zixiao Palace is unable to make the reasoning and control structure of the psionic gun, so it is naturally unable to create the psionic gun.
If the lack of control structure is not too serious, then the lack of these two remaining technology trees is really a big problem.
The two missing technology trees are: "Super Spiritual Pressure Conversion Technology" and "Magic Formation Overload Technology".
As mentioned before, the firing principle of psionic guns is similar to that of electromagnetic guns, but in fact, the two do have many similarities.
The repulsion of the electromagnetic magnet is very small. To make the electromagnetic gun have enough power, it is necessary to boost the voltage and generate a very high current with an ultra-high voltage to allow the electromagnetic ring of the electromagnetic gun to generate a very huge repulsion, so that the shell can obtain an extremely high acceleration.
This psionic gun is similar. The repulsive force generated by ordinary magic arrays is too small, so to make the bullet have an extremely high initial speed, it is necessary to increase the spiritual power input by the user, so that the spiritual power input by an ordinary disciple can reach or exceed the spiritual pressure strength of the immortal elders in an instant, so as to generate sufficient power.
However, Zixiao Palace did not have this technology. Or it was used to be, but now it is gone.
Without this technology, the power of the psionic gun created will be completely affected by the user's cultivation. It is easy to say that powerful people like Zhenyuan Shangxian and others can barely maintain their basic firing power, but if they are disciples like Tianyou, it will be a problem whether the psionic gun can shoot more than ten meters, let alone any power.
Finally, there is the magic array overload technology, which is also an auxiliary technology for the super-spiritual pressure conversion technology. Because the burden on the magic array will be very high after the spiritual pressure is increased. Fortunately, once or twice, the psychic gun needs to work in this state almost every time it is fired, and it cannot be replaced with fuses like an electromagnetic gun to solve the problem. Therefore, corresponding technology must be required to ensure that the magic array in the psychic gun can withstand the instantaneous passing of a large amount of spiritual energy, otherwise the psychic gun will become a rocket launcher, all of which will become disposable products.
When Tianyou wants to create a psionic gun, he must first find a way to point out the three missing technology trees, otherwise he can only find a way to replace them with the principle of firearms on the earth.
Obviously, it is unlikely to point out the technology tree. You may consider trying that kind of thing. If Tianyou wants to do it, you may consider starting to try it out for another fifty or one hundred years of practice, but the possibility is still not high. Therefore, with the current technical level, Tianyou is basically impossible to point out the missing technology tree again. All he can do is replace it. It doesn’t necessarily have to use the technology on earth to replace it. Anyway, just find a way to bypass these three technologies.
Because we know more about modern firearms, the first way Tianyou thought was not to make up for the original psychic gun, but to simulate modern firearms. We directly seal the barrel, then install a fire-type explosion-fire array at the bottom of the barrel, and directly use the explosion-fire technique to push out the projectile in front.
The advantage of this solution is that it completely bypasses the limitations of the psychic technology tree, and its principle is close to modern firearms, which can better leverage Tianyou's knowledge reserve advantages.
When using the explosion of flame, there is no need to add the original thrust array, and naturally there is no need for thrust control. Moreover, it can completely simulate modern firearms, directly encapsulating the explosion of flame with the warhead to make a fixed ammunition. The benefits of doing this are obvious.
Bullets are pre-made, and there is no need to introduce spiritual energy during battle, which will get rid of the limitations of the cultivator's own spiritual energy reserve on fire sustainability. As long as you carry enough bullets, it can theoretically consume any enemy. Moreover, in this way, it seems that even ordinary people without spiritual energy can use spiritual guns.
Also, the explosive flame magic array in the fixed ammunition is sealed in the bullet, so there is no need to worry about durability. Anyway, the bullet is one-time, and it will be thrown after being fired, even if it explodes due to overloading, it will be fine.
To talk about the disadvantages, it is probably that the technology tree of super-spirit pressure conversion technology must be pointed out. However, even so, the difficulty has been reduced a lot. Because the explosion flame technique is different from the thrust magic array, it is an explosive attack spell, and its power is very high. Even if it is activated with a very small spiritual power, the power of launching ammunition is absolutely impossible. Therefore, this spiritual pressure increase step can reduce the requirements. As long as the average spiritual pressure of the immortals can reach the immortals, it is enough to meet most of the needs. Moreover, the power of experts like Zhenyuan Shangxian is still earth-shaking.
After thinking about this method, Tianyou started drawing drawings and constantly improved his ideas. In less than three days, a very complete design drawing came out.
The appearance design of this psionic gun is very similar to the AK series rifle. It is no longer a straight barrel, but has a grip and magazine. It can load twenty rounds of ammunition at a time, but it does not have the function of continuous firing. It can only fire one bullet by pulling the trigger once. However, it still has a shell extraction mechanism standard for modern guns, so it does not require manual loading.
After all the drawings were designed, Tianyou was very happy to find someone to show off, but Yueying and Qi Xiaomei didn't understand this, and they didn't understand it after seeing it. Unfortunately, he could only take the drawings to Zhenyuan Shangxian to show off. Of course, he verbally said that he could only ask for advice.
Unfortunately, Tianyou guessed the beginning but not the end.
After hearing that Tianyou designed a psionic gun, Zhenyuan Shangxian's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. This was completely within Tianyou's expectations, so he handed the drawings on it without any concern.
After Zhenyuan Shangxian got the drawings, it was indeed similar to Tianyou's expectations. He immediately lit up his eyes and put away his originally disregarded attitude. Then he swept away the jars and jars on the table, spread the drawings on them and exclaimed: "This...this idea is indeed unique."
Tianyou was as proud as a fox who had just snatched a little hen. He raised his head and said, "Of course. This is a solution I thought about and thought about after reading a large number of classics. He directly bypassed the missing technical limitations and developed a new type of psionic gun."
Zhenyuan Shangxian did not refute him, but let go of the drawings, and then affirmed very seriously: "Yes, it is very good for you to have such an idea and design idea. This psionic gun does have many remarkable points. In time, it might really be a very good weapon. It's just a pity that you still lack experience after all!"
"Inexperienced?" Tianyou was stunned for a moment, then thought that there should be problems with the design drawing, so he immediately asked: "Is there something wrong with this gun?"
Zhengyuan Shangxian did not hide it, and nodded directly and said, "The idea is good, but there are many problems. Come here." Zhengyuan Shangxian pointed to the position where the bullet was filled, and then said, "How powerful is the explosion of flame? Can a thin layer of brass and the outside barrel be blocked? It may be fine once or twice, but after ten or twenty times, the barrel will inevitably explode. However, it is not killing the enemy, but committing suicide."
"Is this...you can't stop it even with better steel?"
"How powerful is the Explosion Technique? Even a monster of the big monster level will burn a large piece of flesh when it is hit. What steel can withstand its repeated bombing?"
"This..." Tianyou was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect this problem before, because he had habitually considered it according to the standards on the earth. But the problem was that the steelmaking level of the Shenzhou Continent was not good, and it was obvious that the high-quality steel on the earth could not be produced.
Originally, the immortal Zhenyuan saw that Tianyou was stuck and thought he would give up. However, Tianyou was very quick to think about it. Just when the immortal Zhenyuan planned to roll up the drawing and return it to him, and encouraged him for a few more words, Tianyou did suddenly ask: "What if you use some special materials? If you don't have steel, use Shoushan copper, or magic copper. You can also use composite materials. Anyway, the bullet is disposable, and the shell can withstand burn damage, and the rest is just vibration and expansion force. Use soft magic lizard skin as the lining, wrap the outer lily, and wrap it into strips of iron wood, fix one end, wrap it with iron wire and vine, allowing it to deform and expand when it is under force to remove some of its power. The outer one is wrapped and wrapped with magic copper or high-quality steel, and I think I should be able to withstand the repeated bombardment of the explosion technique."
Now the immortal Huan Zhenyuan was asked. After pondering for a long time, he said uncertainly: "It seems that it is really feasible. You may have to try it out before you know it." However, he changed the topic again when he said this. "But even so, this gun still cannot be used."
“Why?”
"Do you know what level of the explosive flame magic array is? It's not easy to carve one. You have to make it a one-time thing. Just throw away a explosive flame magic array with one shot. Who can afford to try the warmth?"
"this……"
Tianyou made the mistake of taking it for granted. Modern weapons on the earth are money-burning things based on the large-scale machinery industry. When fighting, they are just burning money. Compared with whoever has more money, who can burn more fire. However, the productivity level of Shenzhou Continent cannot support such a war mode. When drawing magic circles, you need to introduce energy and spirit to take effect. Not to mention the materials, it only limits its mass production by manual. Therefore, if you shoot a shot and change a magic circle, you can't even think about this kind of thing. Even the head of Zixiao Palace can't hold on to this way of playing.
Seeing that Tianyou was in deep thought for a long time and stopped talking, Zhenyuan Shangxian rolled up the drawings on the table and handed them back to him. After Tianyou held them in his hand, he pressed his shoulder to comfort him and said, "Don't be discouraged. Your ideas are indeed wild, and many designs make me lit up, such as the structure that automatically replaces a bullet, which is really a clever design. And you can think of using the explosive flame technique to fire bullets, which is also a wonderful idea. Our generation of tools, formations, and techniques are the foundation, and only this wild and imaginative idea is the key. Don't give up your advantages because of occasional setbacks, think boldly, and don't decide to use them to help you check.
I have accepted you three disciples. The child of Sanshan is diligent and hardworking and will definitely become a master in the future. However, his mind is not active enough and he cannot become a master. But you are different from Lu Meng. You both have a brilliant mind. As long as you are willing to calm down and study hard, you will become a great man in the future. Do you understand what I said?"
Tianyou nodded vigorously. "Thank you for your advice, disciples, please remember."
In fact, the immortal Zhenyuan doesn’t need to comfort Tianyou so much. He is not the kind of person who will be hit hard by setbacks at all. The new design plan is not good, and another one is that it has not been designed yet, so there is room for modification.
After returning to the cave with the design drawings, Tianyou began to work behind closed doors again.
The Explosion Technique is too powerful and not suitable for use as a spell for launching ammunition, so let's change it to a softer one. Tianyou thought about it and found that he knew too few spells and the range of options was too narrow. However, he knew where he could find the spell directory, so he directly contacted Nanming.
Although Nan Ming comes to contact Tianyou every time, the people who help him are not only Nan Ming, but also Fuxi, who only showed his face once. This immortal Fuxi is in charge of the library of Zixiao Palace, which means that he has backups of the entire Zixiao Palace's classics. Therefore, if you want to find information, Fuxi is undoubtedly the most suitable place.
However, after Nan Ming came, he did not agree immediately, but asked him to go to Tianfei to ask for a pass. The library managed by Fuxi is a key facility of Zixiao Palace and is not open to its disciples on weekdays. Zixiao Palace has independent library buildings on each sect and hilltop. Different types of books are selected according to the objects of the library service. The library managed by Fuxi is equivalent to a general library, specifically used to preserve the originals of classics and the secret collections that are not suitable for people to borrow. In short, the books here are very valuable and will never be easily approached.
Because of this, Nan Ming did not dare to let Tianyou go directly, not because he was worried that Tianyou would destroy the books, but because he was worried that someone would find out that their different eyes were suspicious of Tianyou.
Anyway, Tianfei has always taken good care of Tianyou, so this pass permit is not a bad idea. Tianyou thought that Nan Ming’s words were reasonable, so he went to Tianfei to plead with him as Nan Ming’s suggestion.
Later, there was not much difference between what Tianyou thought. Although Tianfei refused at first, she could not stand Tianyou's soft and hard work. Tianyou finally moved out Zhenyuan Shangxian, saying that it was the preparation for the development of the spirit gun. Tianfei had no choice but to let go, but he told her not to lend it out and could only go to the library to read it.
Tianyou naturally did not object to this request, and happily took the jade plaque used for proof to the library in the Zixiao Palace General Palace.
Speaking of which, the location of the library is not far from Tianyou, just above his cave, but Zixiao Peak is a forbidden area and has no communication, so ordinary disciples are not allowed to go up. Therefore, although Tianyou's cave is hanging halfway up the mountainside of Zixiao Peak, he has only reached the top of the mountain once, and it is still the head of the sect to meet him, otherwise he would not have the chance to go up at all.
Speaking of which, although Zixiao Peak is a floating mountain, its shape is not as most people think that the top of the peak is flat as the top of the peak that is upside down. In fact, the real Zixiao Peak is roughly a vertical olive shape, with both upper and lower halves in the shape of a mountain. Moreover, there are many different small peaks on the top, but these small peaks are not very big.
The mountain shadow that Tianyou saw before was indeed not a library, it was just a miniature Fushan in front of the library. There were two other cable bridges connected to the Fushan Mountain, one connected to the smaller Fushan Mountain. It was vaguely seen that there was only a pavilion on it. The other cable bridge was connected to the Fushan Mountain where the library was located.
The Fushan where this library is located is slightly lower than the Fushan used in transit. It is not that the mountain is smaller, but the flight altitude is lower. Nanming led Tianyou without walking on the cable bridge at all, but directly kicked the ground and flew over. Tianyou only felt that his heart was lifted and he had landed safely on the ground outside the library.
The two of them settled in a stone platform like a pier. There were square bricks on the ground, and a little weed grew between the gaps. It didn't look messy, but it felt a unique feeling.
The left half of the platform is occupied by a cable bridge, and there are no railings on the right side, which looks a bit dangerous, but thinking about the identity of the person coming and going is not a problem.
Walking in from the platform, there are several steps, around an ancient pine and twisting half a circle, then climbing to the platform above. Stepping through the gravel path, a half-person-high bamboo fence is a half-person-high bamboo fence. Behind this bamboo fence is a small courtyard, behind a pink cherry tree is a small pond. On the left side is an open bamboo house with straw mats on the ground, and three sides are transparent, you can directly see a low table in it. Fuxi Xianchang, who had seen before, was flipping through an ancient book behind the low table.
Nan Ming took Tianyou to the bamboo building on the plain stones in the garden, then took off his shoes and walked up. Tianyou also learned to walk into the bamboo building, and then bowed to Fuxi at the entrance of the bamboo building and said, "Disciple Tianyou, come and borrow the classics."
I originally thought Fuxi would respond seriously, but what Tianyou didn't expect was that Nan Ming was speaking.
"When you get here, you don't have to say any etiquette anymore. You can say anything casually. You never have to worry about someone hearing it. The entire Fushan is protected by a large formation, and it is impossible for the leader to come in at will."
Fuxi also said, "When you get here, you can do whatever you want. As long as there is no outsider, just treat it as your own home."
He didn't quite understand why the two of them were so indulgent to him. Tianyou thought about it but didn't really let go. He just calmed down and asked, "Fuxi Xiancai..."
"Just call me Fuxi."
"This..." After looking at Nan Ming, Tianyou still shouted: "Fuxi. I have asked Nan Ming many times before, why do you look at me so differently? But Nan Ming has been reluctant to tell me, so is the same here? "
Fuxi nodded. "It's not just to protect you, but also to protect ourselves. When you can know, you will naturally tell you. As for the special care of you... you don't have to remember it. We are also helping you. By the way, you are here to check the classics today, right? I wonder what you need to read?"
"The catalog of immortal arts and techniques." Tianyou briefly introduced the reasons why he wanted to make a psionic gun and needed a catalog of spells.
As the manager of the library, Fuxi has not only read all the books here, but has at least browsed the titles, and he can still remember the location of each book. After hearing Tianyou's request, he immediately got up and took him to the other tall tower connected to the bamboo building.
This tall tower is right behind the pond, which is understandable with the bamboo building. However, it is not built by bamboo, but a stone tower. Although the height is not exaggerated, it has a very imposing feeling.
When he entered the stone tower, Tianyou first discovered that the size was wrong. The stone tower did not look tall from the outside, but the space inside was amazingly large. There was a circular staircase above, extending in circles, as if there was no end.
"Is this a vain space?"
Fuxi nodded. "Otherwise, there will be thousands of books in Zixiao Palace, but there will be no place to put down that small building?" As he said that, he had already arrived in front of a bookcase. The bookcase was very strange, with a narrow path with no gap in the middle, one by one, and he didn't know how to pick up the books.
Tianyou only watched Fuxi walk to the bookcase, press it gently, and then let go of his hand. A section of the bookcase immediately popped up. Fuxi immediately grabbed the edge of the bookcase and pulled out, and actually pulled out two books walls more than two long.
"Is this also a vain space?"
Fuxi nodded again. "Everything you want is here." Fuxi pointed to a slap of the pages on the bookshelf and said.
Tianyou went over and looked at it. There was a record of the title on the side of the book page. He saw that it read "The Complete Collection of Immortal Laws: Thunder-based Dharma", and then go down, there is also "The Complete Collection of Constitution: Summoning Immortal Laws". Looking along the way, there are many different branches, and there seem to be a variety of varieties.
Originally, Tianyou was here to find suitable spells to replace the explosive flame technique and become the way to advance the psychic gun. The larger the range, the better. However, when he really saw so many books, he was worried. It took ten days and half a month to read all of them. If you want to compare and choose, you may not be able to find them in a few months. Although he was more interested in this aspect, he was a little worried when facing such a large project volume!
As if seeing Tianyou's embarrassment, Fuxi suddenly asked, "But I think there are too many books to read for a while?"
Tianyou nodded. "I thought it would be too time-consuming to just read the catalog, but here..." He pointed to the large row of bookshelfs.
Yes, there are only directories here, and the real content is upstairs. But even the directories actually have a full bookshelves. This number is really terrible.
Chapter completed!
