Thinking back to what happened this morning, Roland felt a little incredible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

You say that he is an ordinary traverser, how did he become the chosen one? At this time, should he recite two lines of poetry to express his amazement?

When he woke up early in the morning, when Agatha reported his observations to him, he thought he had misheard. But under the proof of many witches, he can only admit it first. At the same time, Roland knew that this result would definitely surprise the Taqira remnants, and in order to strengthen the integrity of the exchange, he simply let the other party come to visit his nap at noon.

I don't know if it's because my psychological quality has increased after becoming a king, or if I'm simply lazy...... Picking up a copy of "Advanced Mathematics" and lying on the office bench to read it for a long time, I actually fell asleep. The first thing I saw when I was woken up was the back of the nightingale with her gun drawn and Phyllis fainting.

However, Roland does not think that the so-called "Chosen One" is the Chosen One, but that the remnants of Tachira have so much hope for what they find that they think of the witch who can activate it as a savior.

There is no doubt that the three seats of the Federation can turn against each other in times of extreme danger, and the things in the ruins must be extraordinary, but it is worth considering that it has the power of a god and can destroy the devil in one fell swoop. After all, it is really like a creation of the gods, how could the person who made it disappear into the underground labyrinth without a sound?

Of course, if you want to understand the inside story in detail, you have to communicate further with the bereaved people.

In addition, the observable results of the dream also proved his conjecture on the other hand—this dream world was indeed not entirely constructed by his consciousness, and was too rich in detail to be far beyond the capacity of the brain, and it was true that he provided a lot of material, but it was someone else who combined it.

He had speculated before that the witch was the terminal of the transformation of mana, and now it seems that there is still a barrier between the terminal and the mana. It's this level that gives the magic a wonderful twist, it's like a black box with no apparent principle, and the witch can give a command and the black box will give back the result. In other words, the witch's abilities are realized in the same way as in the dream world, with the only difference being that she does not have the magic to manifest dreams.

This reminded Roland of the relationship between a mage and a magic web, the former connecting to the magic net through gestures, spells, and spellcasting materials, and asking for the power he needed from it, which is quite similar if you think of the level as a magic web.

And after he defeated Jieluo, he accidentally gained the ability to connect levels, but that's all. Nine times out of ten, the complexity of an instruction is only related to the difficulty of the implementation, and is not the same as the strength of the ability and the usefulness of the command. On the contrary, the closer the ability is to the essence of magic, the easier it should be to transform it - for example, converting magic directly into light and heat is certainly much easier than creating matter, but the power is absolutely earth-shattering.

This is also a big reason why Roland is interested in the ruins, the pillar of light presented by the multicolored magic stone, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a special means of "sending instructions". Replace witches with man-made objects and try to forge commands...... The study of magic has obviously gone beyond the level of the Federation, and aside from the titles of the Chosen One, the Instrument of Damnation, etc., it may mean the germ of a new technology.

For that alone, he had to deal with the Tachira witches.

Considering that the "Chosen One is a mortal" could deal a heavy blow to the other party, and even frustrate their confidence in fighting the devil, Roland decided to let Phyllis see the power of the New Age before going into further negotiations.

In order to achieve a better "persuasion" effect, he summoned the iron axe into the office.

"How's the Beast being seen lately?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all scattered disturbances, and the patrol teams on the city walls can solve it. Sha Min replied after giving a standard military salute.

"Very well, I am planning to hold an artillery exercise in the area of the city walls in the near future, it needs to be a big scene, and it needs to be as wasteful as possible. ”

The commander-in-chief of the First Army pondered for a moment, "You mean...... Cheating?"

Roland couldn't help laughing, it seemed that Iron Axe's understanding of gunpowder had become more and more real, "To be precise, it's a mixed bag." Do you see what I mean by reloading live ammunition when demonstrating precision shooting, and with embedded black powder when demonstrating fire coverage?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Iron Axe nodded at once.

Since it is used to bluff people, there is naturally no need to splash the precious howitzer like water, and the use of embedded explosives detonated by wires can also have an earth-shaking effect, or even better.

Roland recounted the plan in his mind, "I hope the final explosion is eye-catching enough, and you can prepare more black powder for this." ”

"Your Majesty, this may affect the operational ...... of the artillery battalion"

He shook his head, "It's okay, in fact, I plan to phase out black powder weapons, such as the Twelve-pounder Field Cannon, which are no longer suitable for future battles." ”

The heavy barrel, slow firing speed, and low power of solid bullets all restrict its further use. The battle under the Cold Wind Ridge fully showed that the lethality of the field artillery was very limited, especially in the face of the scattered attack and the rapid action of the enemy, most of the Divine Punishment Army fell under the machine guns and fortress guns, and the unlucky ones who were hit by the iron pellets were only about 100 people.

In addition, it is difficult to transport, it is difficult to coordinate with the infantry to attack, and it is difficult to carry out urban warfare, so its purpose is becoming more and more narrow. The Wheel Rifle could be used for a while, but the gunpowder consumption of the bullets was much smaller, even if half of the stock was consumed.

With the help of Dream World, Roland's new chemical reform plan is already in the works, and the steady increase in the production of dual-base gunpowder gives him the capital to eliminate black powder weapons.

"You've devised a new replacement weapon?" Iron Axe's eyes lit up.

Roland smiled and took out a drawing from the drawer and spread it out to the table, "A kind of warp fire that can be carried by several people separately, it is powerful, the structure is simple, and the operation is not effortless." What do you think?"

Iron Axe bent down and looked at the drawings for a moment, "Uh...... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I can only look at the appearance...... It looks like an iron pipe, and with such a thin wall, can it really fire shells?"

"Of course, the key is in the dedicated shells, but it's still much easier to make than the 152mm howitzer. ”

"Does the new weapon have a name?"

"You can call it a mortar. Roland replied.
