Chapter 409: Flame Blast Cannon 2
The test site is located in Ethan's new manor in the suburbs - the Flame Explosion Center Manor.
This place was originally called Shuke Manor, which Ethan took over from the Duke's Mansion.
Ethan felt that the name of the original manor was not nice, and this was the research and development center of the [Flame Explosion Cannon], and it was planned to be changed to the Inscription Technology Research Institute in the future.
Therefore, it was changed to the current name, one to commemorate the present, and the other to look forward to the future.
It indicates that the future inscription technology will expand from here to the world like the Flame Explosion.
The main body of today's test is now quietly placed on the lawn of the manor. Its entire appearance is like the red cannon in the Qing Dynasty.
However, it is only similar in appearance. Its principles and many structures are completely unrelated to the red cannon.
For example, it is covered with complex inscription lines all over its body.
For example, although the overall diameter of its barrel is more than ten centimeters, the diameter of the hollow tube inside is actually only about 3 centimeters, which is barely enough to fit two fingers.
For example, the rear seat does not have any openings or lead structures, but only rows of gem slots.
…
Now, the gun body is mounted on a wheeled bracket and has been fully charged.
You only need to activate the control switch to fire.
Since it was the first time to fire, a remote transmission mechanism was temporarily designed to activate the switch for safety reasons.
Theoretically, as long as the wire is pulled, it will ignite.
Ethan of course had to do the first shot himself, so when everything was ready, he pulled the long wire from a distance, and as a result, Ethan pulled the wire, and it was really just a pull.
[Pyroblast] did not react at all.
The nearly 100 people present were silent, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Just when everyone reacted and were about to go forward to check the situation, Ethan blocked everyone, and then his whole body was shining with golden light, and one person went forward to check.
He was very confused at this time, because in theory, as long as the switch was activated, there should be some reaction.
After all, all the lines have been checked repeatedly, and there is absolutely no reason for mistakes. Even if the cannon cannot be fired successfully, the energy flowing through all the lines should also emit light.
However, it is the worst case, with no reaction at all.
This may mean that the overall design idea is not good, and it also means that everything has to be torn down and started again.
The investment of hundreds of thousands of gold may just go down the drain.
With doubts, Ethan slowly walked behind the [Pyroblast Cannon].
This look made him happy and relieved.
It turned out that there was a problem with the temporary remote transmission mechanism, and it did not press the start device of the [Pyroblast Cannon].
Knowing that it was not really started, Ethan drove the ascending posture and manually pressed the magic stone to start the ignition.
As the ignition gem came into contact with the golden lines on the inscription seat, a small spark flashed.
Then the spark quickly moved along the lines on the cannon body like a lit fuse, lighting up all the lines along the way, and then rushed into the barrel from the muzzle.
After a while, a red light slowly lit up from the muzzle.
The red light became redder and brighter...
Finally,
"Boom"
A bright flame as big as a walnut, dragging a tail several meters long, shot out from the muzzle like an arrow, and rushed towards the distance.
Not long after
"Boom"
Another loud noise, a small mushroom cloud several dozen meters high, rose into the air in the grove 500 meters away.
"Wow! Goddess!"
"God bless us!"
"God's presence!"
...
When everyone saw this scene, they jumped up and cheered.
Ethan also smiled.
Although the range is far from the design standard, it is already very good.
You should know that the magician who can cast the fire explosion must be at least 14th level, and the distance can reach 40 meters, which is already amazing.
But now this [Fire Explosion Cannon] not only has a range of about 500, but ordinary people can also operate it, and its deterrent power can be imagined.
Next, as long as it is improved, its range is likely to meet the design requirements.
However, Ethan was only happy for a few seconds, and he was not happy immediately.
Because he found that the muzzle and the inscriptions in the barrel melted because they could not withstand the high temperature when the fire burst out of the barrel.
This means that this gun is disposable, who can stand it.
The most important thing is the inscriptions in the barrel, which play the role of accelerating the shells, and cannot be changed at will.
This means that the melting of the inscription line is an overall design defect and cannot be changed.
This is the end.
The cheering people rushed to Ethan to celebrate, and soon they also discovered this problem, and they were not happy at all.
However, at this time, a magic professor at Allen College proposed a solution after careful observation.
He believed that the inscription line only played the role of phase magnetic acceleration, and the phase magnetic thing did not need to be in direct contact with the fire burst bomb, and it could also play the role of acceleration.
Therefore, as long as a layer of thermal insulation material is used to make a built-in barrel to protect the acceleration inscription, all problems can be perfectly solved.
At the same time, this design can also avoid the problem of the gun barrel heating caused by continuous firing, so as to protect the inscription lines outside the gun barrel.
His plan was unanimously recognized by everyone present.
These people did what they said, without any hesitation.
However, in just ten days, they found the corresponding materials, and Volibear recast the inscriptions to start the second experiment.
This time, just like the previous time, a fire bomb was successfully launched, and the inscription line was not damaged as predicted.
However, because of the addition of a built-in heat-insulating barrel, new problems arose.
For example, the range was greatly reduced, only 70 meters away, the power was much smaller, and there was a huge deviation in accuracy. The fire bomb turned and flew backwards in the air, almost hitting the crowd.
Fortunately, Ethan was there at the time and blocked the fire bomb with an invincible attitude, otherwise it would have been a big deal.
Finally, after everyone discussed together, they believed that the accelerated phase magnetism had magic interference due to the heat-insulating material, which not only shortened the range, but also caused the acceleration direction to be opposite after the exit.
They believed that the principle formula of the phase magnetism must be recalculated, and its corresponding relationship with different materials must be listed to find a solution.
These people still did what they said, so countless experiments related to it began to be sent to the laboratory table.
Everything seemed to have returned to the stage of theoretical verification.
Although there were some problems in the research now, Ethan was not discouraged at all, and would not give up.
However, he did not participate in the next plan, and only let Volibear and Ekaterina stay to cooperate with their research.
At the same time, various experimental materials were sent to the Flame Blast Center Manor without money.
He believed that these people would give him a satisfactory result.
Of course, he must have sent someone to record the various experimental results, after all, all the research results belonged to him, Ethan.
At the same time, if they gave him satisfactory results, Ethan would naturally not treat them unfairly.
No matter what they wanted, money, women, or inscription skills, Ethan was also not stingy.
This is what they deserved.
