Chapter 423: The Idea of a New Type of Weapon
After Eldraine Kamanda delivered the goods, Don conducted a weapons test in the afternoon, which left him a little unsatisfied.
As a time-traveler from the world of science supremacy, Donn, like the general public, believes that caliber is justice, and insists that the yield determines everything, but the explosives that Garion sold him are indeed powerful, but they are completely unable to satisfy Donn's current appetite.
Accustomed to the convenience and power of magic, a simple explosion is completely out of sight - if it can't produce effective lethality, then it is better to simply lay a magic array there to ambush it.
Compared with the magic array, the only advantage of these bombs is that they do not require magic power, and the cost is low, so anyone can use them.
It's a pity that it can only cause damage to cannon fodder and miscellaneous fish, and those with a little strength are not afraid.
So Egwyn couldn't quite understand what Don was buying these things for.
Tang En spread his hands: "Actually, it's very simple, although the soldiers are not afraid of these grenades now, and those demonic beasts are not afraid either, but their strength cannot be improved in a short period of time, and these things can additionally improve their combat strength - although it is not much, but it is better than nothing." ”
Egwen shook the Meteor II grenade in his hand and ...... a little harder
"Boom!"
The grenade exploded directly into her, and the flames and debris that exploded shot out in all directions, but it didn't even puncture her and Donn's skin.
This is the powerlessness of goblin technology products in the face of the strong.
Tang En estimated that if it was a super-large yield missile, or a weapon such as a laser or a nuclear bomb, it might be able to hurt the legend, but if you want to kill the legend, it is unlikely, any legend has the ability to escape, and it is too simple to tear the space apart in an instant and escape thousands of miles away.
Speaking of nuclear bombs, although the nuclear bombs on Earth are very powerful, they seem to be nothing compared to the prehistoric technology of Brandal.
Don't forget, the prehistoric technology of goblins and gnomes has already landed on those two moons, and they even plan to explore the universe deeply, and the super bomb they developed even blew the world of Purandal apart, and the terrain has been completely changed, which shows how powerful their original level of technology is.
Tang even felt that if the original goblins and gnomes crossed over to the earth, they could easily crush the earth with their technological level.
Egwen touched the tip of his sparkling nose, which was choked on gunpowder and felt itchy.
"You don't think these things are useful, but don't forget, these things can easily kill civilians, and they're actually terrible weapons."
Tang En pointed to the mine crater in the distance and said, "Under that kind of power, civilians step on the crushed bones that will explode directly." ”
"That's right."
"What's more, mines are stealthy and don't have mana fluctuations, so they're hard to defend against."
Don smiled and said, "Actually, I'm wondering if it would work wonders if magic was combined with the idea of these weapons. ”
"Magic...... And mines? ”
Egwin frowned slightly: "Aren't you talking about the trigger-type magic array?" ”
"It's not a magic array, it's trigger-type magic, it's more like a magic scroll, but it's cheaper than a magic scroll, and it can be mass-produced."
Donn said: "The magic scroll can achieve a small amount of magic to trigger the spells on the scroll, but it must be drawn manually, and the materials drawn must also be processed by special processes, the cost is very expensive, but ......"
Don took out a beautiful crystal.
"Homecoming Crystal?"
"That's right."
Tang En stared at the return crystal in his hand and said: "The magic crystal itself is an excellent carrier of magic power, and the teleportation technique can be solidified on the return crystal, allowing the user to easily stimulate the teleportation technique, so think about it differently, can other magic also be solidified on the magic crystal?" When you use it, as long as you activate it and throw it, you can trigger the spell. ”
"After such mass production, the warriors equipped with these magic crystals also have the primary spell killing ability, and with only a simple training, their combat ability can be doubled."
"Even if we can even think about it, if a powerful enough spell is solidified on the magic crystal, as long as we find a way to send it into the center of the enemy and detonate it, we can change the trend of a battle in an instant."
Since getting his hands on the Mana Crystal Mine, Tang En has been thinking about other uses of Mana Crystal, not only as an energy source, since he wants to defeat the enemy, he must consider maximizing the use of the resources in his hands, and after simple processing, it can become an efficient weapon, which is undoubtedly one of the best ways to use it.
Egwin looked at Don, and his expression suddenly became very serious: "Don, I feel like you're doing something very dangerous. ”
"Huh?"
Don looked up blankly, not understanding why Egwin said that.
Egwin thought for a moment and said: "From the perspective of human beings, the reason why strength is desired by so many people is because it is not easy to obtain, and it needs to go through hard training and tribulation, coupled with good talent and luck, it is possible to obtain the power that others envy, and in this process, their hearts will also be well trained, so the evil ones are a minority after all." ”
"However, if you continue like this, everyone can easily gain the power to kill others, without going through painful training, without going through tribulations, or even without testing, as long as you can make money and buy magic crystals, you can gain great power."
In that case, who else wants to continue to temper themselves? Who else wants to continue to wield power? ”
Egwin asked Don rhetorically, "According to the human habit of short-lived species, once you have a more convenient way, you will choose the more convenient way. ”
"Over time, when people have become accustomed to using magic crystals as spellcasting items, they may forget that they were also a race that could master great power through training."
"There is even an even more terrifying possibility, once the power can be easily obtained by people, without the tempering of the mind, they can easily get lost in the power of external objects, and become degenerates who abuse this power, how many people will die because of this?"
Tang En suddenly realized that Egwen's worries were like the worries of people on Earth about the development of weapons.
If the enemy country has powerful weapons, we will invent more powerful weapons, and the weapons will become more and more powerful, and people will become more and more worried that one day a war will suddenly break out and mankind will be destroyed.
However, when the time comes when it is possible to destroy itself easily, all countries tend to restrain themselves, after all, the more civilization develops, the weaker the self-destructive tendency of mankind becomes, and the more inclined it is to rely on the economy to solve the contradictions.
But......
Don smiled bitterly, of course he knew the disadvantages of developing such a foreign munition, but ...... The gods dragged him from the earth to do such dirty work!
The unjustified nature of Chaos increases with the strength of its opponents, and this unreasonable nature dictates that external equipment is the only way to deal with them, and Egwin, who tends to hone himself to gain power, obviously does not understand the secret.
In the face of Chaos, the best state is that everyone has the most basic personal strength to protect themselves under the pollution of Chaos, and also has weapons that can easily destroy Chaos - this is equivalent to the spear and shield of Chaos that copies its own body, and Don's task is to prepare another spear for everyone on their side that can easily destroy their own shield.
How is this paradoxical situation of imbalance possible without the help of external equipment?
He knew very well what the consequences of such a situation would be, in the face of the threat of Chaos, maybe all races would unite and not use those things indiscriminately, but what if they killed Chaos? Don couldn't imagine which way the world would go.
It is likely that the Chaos creature did not destroy the world, but he brought it to ruin.
After thinking for a moment, Don suddenly shook his head and smiled, worried about what he was doing? If you don't do it, this world will be directly destroyed in the chaos invasion, how can there be a future?
Now, he, and even the gods who dragged him in, are probably gambling, gambling on a possibility.
Perhaps, it was only after seeing the prehistoric technology of gnomes and goblins that the gods of Plandar came up with a whim, using a combination of technology and magic to fight Chaos.
And then there was Donn's crossing.
The more Donn thought about it, the more likely it was that he should be the last straw chosen by the desperate ones who wouldn't show their faces.
Although he thought of using the magic crystal to process it into a weapon, he didn't have the time to try it now, seeing that Lumbika was already hanging west, Don waved his hand, and all the leprosy mines in the boxes beside him flew out, and then flew in front of them in a neat line, submerging into the frozen ground outside the woods.
In this kind of weather, if the soldiers were to bury the mines manually, it would only take two or three days to bury the mines, but it would be much easier for Don to use magic, and it would be completed in the blink of an eye.
In order to prevent others from entering by mistake, he even built a shallow ravine to isolate the minefield from the surrounding area.
At this moment, the cold wind that had been calming suddenly blew again, and the gloomy dark clouds obscured the falling Lumbica, and the light around them dimmed again.
Along the side of the Ambrice Mountains, the cold wind blowing from the emerald forest carries a faint fishy smell.
Crystal snowflakes once again fell from the sky.
The heavy snowfall that had only stopped for a day began to fall again.
In the distant forest, the roars of beasts were sent into Donn's ears by the howling cold wind.
The tide of beasts is coming as scheduled. (To be continued.) )
