Magic Underachiever

In a corner of the arsenal of the Azure Cathedral, a small construction site has been built.

The brackets of the teleportation array have just been removed, revealing the original appearance of the completed space equipment. The transportation type teleportation array is a circular platform with a height of 30 centimeters and a diameter of seven meters. The surface and interior of the platform are carved and filled with space magic arrays. A slope with a slope of 15° is built on the edge of the platform and on the ground of the weapons depot to facilitate the transportation of goods.

There is an energy conversion furnace close to the wall of the teleportation array. Crystals with magic energy are filled into the conversion furnace, and the magic energy generated can drive the entire teleportation gate to operate. In addition to the energy conversion furnace, there are three cranes surrounding the transmission array for loading and unloading large heavy objects that are difficult to transport.

The entire teleportation array is protected by a layer of isolation barrier inside, blocking the transmission of sound, mirroring and refracting light to achieve the purpose of invisibility.

During the entire construction period of the teleportation array, the church knights of the Azure Cathedral would enter and exit the weapons depot multiple times every day. Especially after Father Titus and Councilor George decided on the plan to transfer these weapons, the cathedral gradually returned the borrowed weapons.

But no one noticed the teleportation array that was busy under construction.

It's just a layer of barrier. On one side, there is the sound of carving magic circuits and the magic shines; on the other side, it is dark and quiet, only the sound of the church knights carrying and arranging weapons.

Everyone is safe and sound...

When the teleportation array was completed under the auspices of Ye Shi, Da Liang couldn't wait to come to the weapons depot.

Just like what Juliet described a few days ago, there are so many weapons here that it’s dizzying to see.

Da Liang walked to a mountain of wooden boxes, then pointed to one of the wooden boxes and said to Sophia: "Open this."

The wooden box was nailed shut and could only be opened with a crowbar.

But Sophia walked up to the wooden box that Daliang pointed at, and easily opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a rifle embedded in the groove inside.

This is a manual rifle similar in shape to the one used in World War I and World War II. It is a rifle that requires manual operation to feed bullets into the gun chamber and remove used cartridge cases from the gun chamber. To fire a shot, pull the bolt, the shooting speed is slow, but the range and power are greater than ordinary automatic rifles.

These rifles are the Halberd 548 infantry rifles provided by the Holy See for the Marcellus Council. There is a set of pressurization techniques specially designed by the Holy See for the Halberd rifles in the barrel and bolt, which can recycle the shooting energy to prepare for the next shot. Shooting provides additional chamber pressure. It allows bullets to shoot farther and have a straighter trajectory.

The Halberd Rifle is an infantry weapon currently in service in the Holy See. The basic model can be used by ordinary soldiers without magical powers. Some derivative models have special uses after adjusting the gun body and adding corresponding spells, combined with special alchemy bullets.

For example, the Halberd sniper rifle, the Halberd lance, the Halberd air combat gun, the squad direct-fire blaster...

The Congress bought this batch of weapons to equip a complete infantry division, so both the basic model and the derivative model of the Halberd Rifle can be found here.

Da Liang asked Sophia to open several wooden boxes, which contained light machine guns, heavy machine guns and mortar parts, as well as various types of yellow, orange and orange bullets and artillery shells.

There are hundreds of artillery pieces of different calibers, including small-caliber infantry that can be moved and transported by soldiers, and heavy artillery that must be pulled by animal power and special vehicles.

In addition to these, there are battle fortresses and silver wings purchased by the Council from the Holy See.

Battle Fortresses function similarly to tanks on Earth. However, the battle fortress uses a steam engine, and the air pressure generated by the steam engine is used to drive the mechanical feet to carry the combat module to walk. Of course, the speed of the battle fortress is not as fast as that of the tank, but the battle fortress' ability to adapt to the terrain is far higher than that of the tank.

As long as the driver's skills are excellent, the battle fortress can be moved on hills where the slope is not very large, and there is no need to worry about slipping in the snow.

In terms of mobility, battle fortresses are also more flexible in their turns. They can change to move laterally at any time while advancing to avoid attacks from the front.

The multi-legged mechanical legs can be raised to raise the height of the turret, and the mechanical legs can be unfolded to push the turret very low, making it easier for the battle fortress to hide behind the bunker, fire a shot and then lie down to avoid reloading.

When the battle fortress is fully deployed and fixed to the ground with mechanical legs, it can use the most powerful "bombing" technique to act as a heavy artillery to remove enemy fortifications at fixed points.

But in Daliang's eyes... the flaws of the battle fortress are also very fatal. The first is its defense. The way it moves determines that its mechanical legs cannot withstand too high a load, so the armor of the battle fortress is relatively thin.

The flexibility is indeed exaggerated, but one shot will basically kill you.

The tank is a heavy armored fighting vehicle. The translational movement of the wheels and tracks allows it to be covered with thick armor on all sides. Although the agility of a tank is lower than that of a battle fortress, as long as it is positioned at the right angle and receives a few shells, nothing will happen.

Why did tanks not appear in this world? Daliang guessed that the piston engine technology was immature. The mainstream engine is a pneumatic pull rod engine, which uses the increase and decrease of air pressure to drive the pull rod to achieve power transmission, which limits the further miniaturization of the engine.

Therefore, the miniaturized motorcycles that Daliang saw were all powered by magic power, and the cost was too high to popularize them among civilians.

Da Liang thinks that studying piston engines or other more powerful engines is a new direction for the Great Tomb to achieve overtaking in weapons. At the same time, powerful and cheap engines can drive the speed of world logistics, thereby accelerating the process of civilization.

As long as the power can keep up, tanks can be built larger, with thicker armor and faster running. Once tanks form the ability to quickly penetrate across war zones, they can become the protagonists of the ground battlefield. As for the battle fortress, legs cannot outrun wheels, and low defense and high sensitivity can only become a very good infantry support weapon.

Da Liang believes that once heavy tanks are developed, they will definitely change the world's war mode.

After watching the battle fortress, Daliang turned his attention to the silver wing.

For completely unfamiliar weapons, Daliang couldn't find anything that could be compared horizontally with the silver wing. The air power provided by the silver wing is equivalent to adding a pair of wings to the driver. In addition to the performance of the body, the magician level of the driver is also an important part of evaluating the combat effectiveness of a silver wing.

The main weapon of the silver wing is the air combat rifle used by the driver, and its range and power are far beyond the basic model. At the same time, Silver Wing can also activate the bombing magician of the combat rifle to complete the ground combat mission. Since the pilots of Silver Wing are generally high-level magicians, Silver Wing also has very strong magic defense capabilities.

Piston fighters basically have no strength to fight Silver Wing.

And jet fighters, in addition to flying fast, have no good way to deal with Silver Wing without missiles.

In addition, the current Silver Wing still has great potential to be tapped, so Da Liang decided to give priority to the development of his own Silver Wing in the Great Tomb. After the piston engine technology matures, consider researching other aircraft.
