Chapter 643: Gradually improve the defense system

  Chapter 643 Gradually improve the defense system

   "Magnetic Storm Coil?"

  Lan Dian knew what it was from the name. It was obviously some kind of special defensive tower that used lightning instead of cannonballs... It was nothing strange, but he was a little curious about the specific power of this magnetic storm coil.

   “But do your job well first.”

  Thinking of this, Lan Dian went to the castle with elemental crystal supplies.

   On the way to the castle, Lan Dian saw white soldiers distributing free buns at the entrance of the street, and there was a sign on the side, which said the conscription announcement, and adult men who were willing to abide by discipline were given priority.

   "Lian led this place is not suitable for recruiting soldiers, they are all mountain people, God knows if they will rebel in battle."

  Lan Dian thought so, and he soon came to the old castle, which is now the municipal center of Laianling.

  The castle is on the top of the cliff, looking up from the bottom of the cliff, you can clearly see the burly black armor on the top of the castle.

Although the scarlet electronic eye of the Cyclops has not been activated, the ruby-like luster is still daunting—just like in the information, the armored main armed prism cannon has been melted due to overload, but the alchemist lord Built a brand new one out of spare parts.

   Except that the color of the gun barrel does not match the armor body, everything is the same as the original one.

  The soldiers of the White People wearing solid armor are manipulating a strange huge armor at the camp at the bottom of the cliff.

  This armor is about three meters high and quite burly. It is completely different from ordinary sublimation armor. It looks like an iron can. The head armor and chest armor are completely integrated, and there is only one observation port similar to a diving helmet.

  Two overly thick I-shaped launch ports protrude from both sides of its body, and thick but rough armor covers its whole body.

   "What is this again?"

Lan Dian was curious again. With his professional scouting skills, he could naturally see that this set of giant armor was the 'new weaponry' that Ian was manufacturing recently... Indeed, Ian is a genius in armor design. He only used It took two weeks to assemble the Cyclops using various parts.

  But in a rural place like Nanling with poor conditions and poor equipment, what new things can he tinker with?

   "No, you have to report to your lord."

  Lan Dian heard the conversation of the White People's soldiers, it was a very young voice: "The magnetic storm armor is too heavy, we can't put it on before starting the power system, but we have to put it on before starting the power system!"

   "This is a design error." Another soldier said: "We should ask the workshop to come up with a set of brackets to assist the armor, otherwise we will not be able to wear this thing if we are exhausted."

-of course. Lan Dian thought to himself, for an iron lump that is nearly three meters high, this armor weighs more than two tons, right?

  No matter how strong the people of Terra are, they cannot be sublimated, nor can they wear two tons of armor.

  It is possible to lift it up, but it is really a world of difference between lifting it and putting it on.

  However, apart from the weight, the strength of this armor is obviously a bit too much.

Lan Dian can tell that although the surface armor of these armors looks rough, they are actually the same type of 'impact armor' as the ether armour. defensive carapace.

  Ordinary first-level sublimators want to break the can, and may have to fight the armor for fifteen days...the armor must not fight back.

   "But it also consumes a lot of money—a few armors won't be able to stop the mountain people."

  With such thoughts in mind, Lan Dian led the supply team all the way to the gate of the castle.

   "The supply from Nauman City... I really want to thank Colonel Mayova."

When Ian knew that the crystallization of the elements had arrived, he went out of the castle to greet him personally. After he knew that Lan Dian and the others were actually mercenaries, his eyes lit up, he looked at the iron people in front of him seriously, and then showed a satisfied smile: " That's just right... Do you have any tasks to do next?"

   "That's not true."

Lan Dian was a little stunned when he saw Ian. Although he knew that the new lord of Leanland had a good appearance before he came, he didn't pay much attention to it because the name 'alchemy genius' was more famous. I thought it was just flattery from the nobles in the imperial capital circle.

  But I didn't expect that the other party looked so good-looking? Almost like a real fairy...

  How strong should the title of alchemy genius be to cover up this appearance?

  Because Ian was intimidated by Ian's charm, what Lan Dian said next was a bit out of his head: "Sir, tell us, if you have anything to send, you can send us."

"Like This."

  Lan Dian saw Ian smiling. This was a very beautiful scene, but his heart suddenly moved, and he felt a little bad.

  —Did I just reveal something?

  He became vigilant instinctively, but then Ian's words changed the subject: "I heard someone report that I saw you observing the magnetic storm armor at the bottom of the cliff for a long time... What, do you have any opinions?"

   "I don't know much about it."

  Lan Dian said cautiously: "But I heard from those soldiers that this armor is too heavy and difficult to put on..."

   "I'm actually more interested in that peculiar tower than the armor." He said truthfully. After all, all kinds of sublimation armors are not uncommon, but such a large magnetic storm tower is really rare.

   "This is indeed a problem."

  Ian nodded thoughtfully. Fortunately, the bracket supporting the armor is not difficult to build: "As for the tower you mentioned...is it a magnetic storm coil? I will take you to observe it."

  Ian made a decision, and Lan Dian naturally couldn't refuse, so the mercenary team followed Ian and the White Guards to the magnetic storm coil in the north of the city.

  In the past two days, because Laian City has fully resumed work, and Ian, as the lord, is also willing to pay for food and money, the reconstruction and arrangement of various important facilities have been completed at an astonishing speed.

  The construction waste left by the damaged buildings was also used to fill up the ditches dug by the mountain people in the roads, and if it was impossible, they also crushed the piles of rocks as targets to test the power of various weapons.

  The two-meter-high rock piles in front of the magnetic storm coil are the origin of this.

The surface of the magnetic storm coil is a metal pillar, which is surrounded by circles of metal rings. The top layer is a metal sphere, and the arc visible to the naked eye flashes on it, and there are dense inscriptions on the base and the coil. Uncertain, guiding the power of Thunder.

The technician of the   workshop, the bald craftsman Amber, was instructing several technicians to calibrate some parts of the magnetic storm coil. He saw Ian leading a group of people behind him with unchanged expressions, and greeted him actively: "My lord."

  He directly reported: "The magnetic storm coil is operating normally. You are right. Compared with miniaturizing the magnetic storm generator from the beginning, we should build a larger model."

   "Now we have fully mastered the technical essence of the magnetic storm generator, believe us, we can definitely manufacture the finished product within three days!"

"I believe you guys, you are the most diligent and studious craftsman I have ever seen." Ian encouraged Amber with a smile: "Actually, you can put the armor part of the first magnetic storm armor in two and a half days." It is incredible enough to create it.”

"It's a trivial matter. We used to manufacture a lot of equipment for the previous Baron Ryan, from armor to experiments..." At this point, Amber suddenly got stuck. In Ian's meaningful expression, the bald craftsman coughed: "Still There's your nails. That's the most critical part."

   "Without it, the defensive power of the magnetic storm armor would not be so exaggerated."

   "It doesn't matter what the past is as long as you're working for me."

  Ian waved his hand, and he motioned for Amber to start the magnetic storm coil: "I also want to see the power of the future defense towers in our territory."

   "Please wait." The bald craftsman stretched out his hand, guiding Ian and others to the observation area aside.

Lan Dian watched the magnetic storm coil start up, and as the alchemy furnace in the base began to operate, the ear-piercing sound of electric current explosion began to operate, and then, with the energy conversion, the huge current condensed, and finally in the 'Pyz—' It burst out from the sound, turned into a thick electric arc, and bombarded a rock target 300 meters away.

  Accompanied by deafening explosions, rock debris splashed, and the scorched smell of high-heat air being pierced by electricity filled the air, while the distant rock targets were flying all over the sky in black smoke, creating large clouds of charged dust.

The two-meter-high rock target was blown to pieces. It is conceivable that human flesh and blood, even sublimated people may not be able to resist this kind of power, and ordinary sublimated armor and armor are facing this level of electric current. , there will definitely be parts failure.

"Oh!"

  Lan Dian's eyes widened, and he began to like this simple and crude defensive tower—although it seems that the range is not very far, only 300 meters, after all, the source quality lightning can't alleviate the distance attenuation.

  But as a tower for defense key facilities, its reliable power is enough to cover up its flaws.

   But after waiting for a long time, about 20 seconds later, he saw the magnetic storm coil launch the second attack.

  The thick electric current fell on the wooden target almost instantly, instantly igniting it and turning it into black charcoal.

  Although the power is still amazing, Lan Dian frowned.

"how?"

  Ian has been watching from the sidelines. He noticed Lan Dian's expression, and asked with a chuckle: "As a thunder attribute sublimator, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved? For example, lethality..."

   "No, my lord."

Lan Dian frowned and pondered his words, he said euphemistically: "The lethality of the magnetic storm coil is already quite reliable... This power should be taken seriously even by sublimators. If a sublimator of the first energy level encounters it, even if he does not die, he probably will die." Just the strength to escape."

   "But its attack frequency... is a bit too slow."

  Obviously, the attack interval of more than 20 seconds is difficult for Lan Dian to accept - it is impossible to say that such a big tower only attacks sublimators, right? It must attack other targets, and the sublimator can quickly approach and destroy it while the magnetic storm coil is charging.

   "After all, it is a civilian alchemy furnace core. If it is used for military use, it should be able to increase to about seven seconds."

  Ian sighed, and this time he really sighed: "The difference between military and civilian use is too much, but the price of military alchemy furnace cores is outrageous."

   "It's not necessary..."

  Lan Dian approached the magnetic storm coil. He carefully observed the towering defense tower, and then nodded slightly: "My lord, I don't think this is a big problem, but it may need some batteries."

   "The electricity generated by the alchemy furnace core is stored in the battery on weekdays, and it can be activated when needed. This can greatly increase the charging speed, and it should be able to barely catch up with the output of the military furnace core in a short time."

   "Like this..."

  Lan Dian stretched out his hand, and the iron man's arm was bronze-colored, and blue electric light wrapped around his arm: "Additional electrical energy can accelerate the charging speed of the magnetic storm coil—whether it is a sublimator, a storage battery, or other sources."

  Electric light flickered, and a current visible to the naked eye erupted from the blue electric body and submerged into the magnetic storm coil.

   Soon, with the additional charging of the blue electricity, the charging speed of the magnetic storm coil this time was greatly increased, and the next attack current was condensed in less than ten seconds.

   And this time, it completely shattered the target—the attack power has also been significantly improved!

"here you go!"

  Seeing this scene, both Ian and Amber's eyes lit up. It's not that they haven't thought about this idea, but the time is too short to test the experiment.

  Landian took it as an example and practiced relevant technical reliability for them!

   "Mr. Lan Dian."

   Walking forward, Ian raised his hand, and patted Lan Dian's shoulder with a smile: "Our Lean leader needs a talent like you!"

   "Are you interested in accepting my employment as a special experimenter in the Laianling Alchemy Workshop to conduct tests and research related to magnetic storm technology? Guarantee a good salary and additional rewards!"

"what?"

  Lan Dian opened his eyes wide, he was a little dazed.

  I just came to **** an element crystal supply, right? Why was he suddenly hired as an experimenter?

  No...it was wrong from the beginning...why should I show off? ! This is not in line with the professional ethics of his real identity at all...

  At this moment, because of his excellent professionalism, Lan Dian suddenly sensed that something was wrong... It seems that from the very beginning, his thinking and schedule were at the mercy of this young man in front of him?

  Although there is indeed a reason why Colonel Mayova asked him to obey Ian's instructions, it's really not right...

  At this moment, looking around, Lan Dian found that he was surrounded by craftsmen and soldiers, and the young lord in front of him was still looking at him expectantly.

  Really...can you refuse?

  Swallowed secretly, Lan Dian smiled on the surface: "Of course...it's my honor."

Abducting a sublimator with thunder attributes as a tester, Ian is in a good mood now—according to the current progress, there is a high probability that within this week, the magnetic storm generator will be officially installed on the magnetic storm armor, so that this killing machine can be officially activated stand up.

  The crystallization of elements sent by Nauman City really solved the urgent need. It can only be said that Colonel Mayova and Marquis of Barton are indeed very accurate.

  However, at night, Ian got some good or bad news from Scott.

   "Is something abnormal in Lake Laian?"

  Ian raised his head and lifted his eyes from the design drawings. He wondered, "Citizens who fetched water said they saw monsters?"
