Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 607: A New Ship Invention

Jinxia City, on the outskirts of the North Gate.

The army has set up a long cordon in the surrounding area, not because of an enemy attack or an accident, but because the Machine Building Bureau intends to conduct a weapon improvement test here.

Different from previous tests conducted on the Martial Arts Field or on the beach, this time the field alone has an area of ​​nearly a hundred acres, and no residents are allowed to approach the test field. Both the scale and the level of confidentiality have been greatly improved compared to before.

The host is naturally Mo Yun, the general manager of the Mechanism Bureau.

"Lord Mo, the target is ready!" Ai Li reported excitedly, "The measured distance from the shooting point is 235 feet, and all personnel have been evacuated."

"Thank you." Mo Yun raised his binoculars and looked towards the sea to the east - he saw a brig floating on a half-tilt not far from the shore, and obvious signs of freezing could be seen below the waterline. This is a pirate ship that invaded Jinxia's offshore waters before. Since the hull was severely damaged by an ice ship, there was not much repair value, so it was pulled to the shore and left on the beach after being stranded. Now temporarily freezing the breach and pulling it back to the sea as a target, it can be regarded as exhausting the last value.

"Would you like to be the provocateur for this test?"

"Hey, me?" Ai Li was taken aback for a moment, her expression a little eager to try.

Mo Yun nodded and said, "Anyway, you are clear about the process, just inject gas according to the usual operation method."

"Yes, I will try my best to do my best!" The elf said, patting his chest.

"You don't have to be too partial to her. If you make a mistake, you should be punished according to the rules." The high priest Senia, who was watching, covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Although her words were slightly harsh, everyone could see that she was in a good mood.

"It's not biased, she is indeed one of the best students in the machine building bureau." Mo Yun shook his head, "Besides, half of the technology this time comes from the seed of the spirit tree, so it would be appropriate to let her be the motivator but."

"Lord Mo, the new warhead is loaded and ready for testing at any time!" The assistant in the distance raised a green flag.

"Let's start." Mo Yun ordered.

"Yes, sound the alarm!"

A high-pitched buzzing sound resounded through the outskirts and forests-this was also the final safety reminder, so that residents close to the test area should leave quickly.

After three sirens, Airi activated the railgun.

After a flash of fire, the projectile shot straight at the target ship in the distance at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, and the distance of more than two hundred feet was reached in an instant! However, the projectile didn't hit the hull directly, but instead skimmed over the side of the ship and fell into the distant sea surface.

There was a slight deviation in the parameters of the test firing.

However, a seemingly ordinary shelling test has changed here.

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted at the landing point, and a group of dazzling flames exploded, bringing up a column of water that was nearly fifty feet high! The shock wave caused a striking white circle to appear on the sea surface, and even if the hull was not hit directly, it trembled violently!

Senia raised her eyebrows in surprise.

This level of power... Even the flowering ammunition equipped for the forty-eight-pound gun is nothing more than that, right?

No...it should be said to be far superior!

"Is this really the effect of the spirit tree?"

"Well... Without this key material, it would be difficult for the experiment to go so smoothly." Mo Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although she didn't directly hit the ship, seeing the splashes flying all over the sky, she knew in her heart that this design idea was completely feasible.

That's right, the main weapon, the electromagnetic gun, is still the original weapon without any changes. What she's really testing is a new generation of long-rod projectiles.

It can be said that a shell the size of an arm has concentrated all the technological crystallization of Jinxia City so far.

And its research and development idea is the "Introduction to Universal Magical Artifacts" proposed by Xia Fan.

In the past, half of the artifacts produced by the Mechanism Bureau were astronomical instruments, and the other half were various seismic artifacts, such as sound instruments, streamer amplifiers, and amplification artifacts in Xianshu Jiuyouhuo.

However, Xia Fan believes that magic tools should not only stay in the two categories of Kun and Zhen, and that any type of alchemy should try to develop its exclusive magic tools.

It's just that this truth is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult in reality.

First of all, some basic alchemy spells are really difficult to use on magic tools, such as the tranquility spell in Kanshu, the moon in the water, etc... These completely need to be guided by the consciousness of the caster, and the talisman alone is not very effective. Another point is that any technique used at a high level will always form different branch directions according to personal perception. Although this kind of alchemy is more effective, it cannot be made into a magic weapon for others to use.

It is these kinds of disadvantages that make the Privy Council's training direction more inclined to the cultivation of people rather than the development of instruments. A guard-level alchemist is enough to wipe out hundreds of entry-level qi-sensers holding ordinary magic weapons. The inclusion of a large number of talents ensures that they don't need to invest more resources in the latter.

What has changed this situation is still universal education.

A large amount of unified knowledge is mastered by the beginners, so that they all form a fairly similar view of the world. The magic weapon that one person explores can be quickly used by others as long as a little explanation is given. In addition, a large number of blueprints of magical instruments retrieved from the Gyeonggi Privy Council also provided a reference for the research of the Mechanical Engineering Bureau to help start.

More importantly, the books written by Xia Fan are not just research on shock techniques.

Natural science can be said to be all-encompassing, covering all eight categories of knowledge, at most it is just a difference in the depth of the research level.

Alchemists from the Genus understood the relationship between combustion and oxidation, and for the first time had insight into the nature of explosions.

Alchemists of different species began to frantically use plants and animals to conduct recovery experiments, and for the first time glimpsed the mysteries of the microscopic world under the finely polished lenses of the Mechanism Bureau.

The alchemists of the Kun category looked up at the starry sky, and began to draw star maps according to the theory of the regular movement of stars.

Although the things everyone studied at the beginning were very simple, and basically stayed at the level that ordinary people can observe at a glance, but the core of what they observed has completely changed from the past.

It is based on these foundations that more and more practical instruments have been included in the manufacturing category of the Mechanism Bureau.

For example, this time the damage-type long-rod projectile.

It adopts a configuration that is completely different from that of the flower bullet, and its core composition is exactly three kinds of magic weapons that interact with each other.

After adjusting the firing angle, Airi launched a second round of test firing——

This time, the cannonball hit the target ship accurately. Unlike the past, the projectile would go straight through the wooden hull. This time, a violent explosion occurred in the center of the hull. It was blasted dozens of feet away!

The people who participated in the test burst into enthusiastic cheers.

There is no doubt that this invention will completely change the status quo that electromagnetic guns are not suitable for naval warfare.
