Chapter 464 Extraordinary Armament · Electromagnetic Cannon 1.0

It seems sparkling, but its temper is not much better than the Black Sea Treasures at sea.

A fleet consisting mainly of battleships, with a total of 23 ships of various sizes, adopted a double column formation to ride the wind and waves, and traveled all the way south along the established route.

It’s just that the flags flying on the mast are obviously not from one family. The fleet is dominated by the two families of Pharetis and Taylor, with the flags of Palos, Thessaly, and Tulip dukedom sporadically mixed.

On the surface, it looks mighty and majestic, but it has a certain sense of sight of the no-name army.

Because this time the opponent is not a pirate, but the world’s most powerful country, Cyrus.

The top leaders of the alliance are very clear that sending low-level battleships to participate in the war is just to give food. For this reason, they have unleashed their full war potential, but basically all the battleships that can be dispatched in a short period of time are already here.

The Tulip Alliance is located in an archipelago consisting of six island countries, unlike those land-based countries, which have a vast continent as a depth. Everything for them comes from the ocean, and they can only rely on the ocean.

Therefore, the alliance’s will to develop the navy and maritime trade is also the most determined, especially the thriving Phalatis.

However, even though the leader of the alliance, Phalatis, already has the ambition to replace him, the gap between them and the first power is still obvious.

Not only is there a gap in the number of normal battleships, but also the quasi-Legendary battleships of the Peak power.

Although Cyrus’ colony in Southern Continent is not large, there are two quasi-Legendary ships all year round because of the rich minerals and vegetation resources. And the entire six countries of the Tulip Union add up, and there are only two ships in the Southern Continent, the “Northern Cold Wind” and the “Five Masted Peaks”.

So, for them, it’s a war that can only be won and not lost. The Cyrus family could probably afford to lose, but they couldn’t afford to lose at all.

If it fails, the navy as the kingdom’s barrier will have to go back at least ten years, and maybe even decades later, there will be no chance to shake the throne of Cyrus Sea Power.

At this time.

Aboard the Level 3 ship HMS Longtail as flagship and lead ship.

The most experienced sea captains use sextants, marine chronometers, compasses, charts and other navigational tools to accurately determine the course from time to time to ensure that the fleet does not deviate.

Although the Celestial Phenomenon in the Sea of Treasures is equally dangerous, the navigation between the two continents has become very common today, two hundred years after the start of the Great Voyage, because of generations of navigators who gave up their lives.

The route from the Tulip Union countries to the Southern Continent cannot bypass Ilya, let alone the .Garriott family who once opened this route.

Or the current Pharretis Garriott family is more suitable.

With the rise of Brigadier General Garriott.

The name that seems to have been buried in history, except for Professor Scholar, who is buried in the pile of old papers, the adventurers and navigators who fought in the unknown region, are the same in the navy of the Kingdom of Pharretis. known to everyone known to everyone.

Especially the navigator who is also from “Newern Harbor” and belongs to the Kingdom’s First Fleet, this is even more clear. And he also knew that the few passengers who boarded before the fleet departed had a lot to do with Garriott, but

“Oh, what a pity Colonel Garriott.”

Putting down the brass telescope in his hand, the weathered old officer couldn’t help sighing even after a long battle.

At the center of the fleet is a large supply ship.

In the 10,000-meter-high sky just above the supply ship, a huge albatross with a wingspan of nearly ten meters circled the fleet like a small plane.

Chat.

Six pure white gulls, much larger than ordinary gulls, stand in a row obediently and honestly atop the main mast spar.

On the deck under their feet, a girl wearing a white long dress with a clean and ethereal temperament, like a spring, slowly withdrew her slender right hand that bloomed with white light.

“Alive, Babu is alive!”

“Long live Miss Angie!”

“.”

See Seeing the eyes slowly opened by the companions lying on the deck, the surrounding sailors burst into cheers. He had just suffered from burning pains, vomiting, convulsions, palpitations, red skin, and half-consciousness, but now he has completely regained consciousness.

Based on their experience, being stung by a blue-bearded jellyfish can lead to death from acute visceral failure within three minutes. And three minutes can’t wait for the cleric on the Level 3 battleship next to him to be rescued.

If it weren’t for the girl’s shot, Babu would surely die.

“Let him drink more water these two days, there won’t be any repercussions.”

The girl’s voice is like a mountain spring, sweet and refreshing, but not at all. cold.

“Okay, many thanks Miss An Qi.”

The crew thanked the girl a lot, and even the supply ship thought it was about to usher in a non-combat attrition captain. , First mate is no exception.

“You’re welcome, you still need to take care of you on the next journey.”

As a natural white witch, she has three innate talents: holy, healing, animal affinity. Animal stings are no effort at all for Angel.

“Yes, yes, you need to say anything on board.”

In the fleet, the battleship may join the battle at any time. So Davely and his party, who were notified to go to Southern Continent to see Gore for the last time, were arranged on this supply ship in the middle of the fleet.

da da da .

When the girl turned around, her white skirt twirled like a Water Lotus Flower.

The crew watched her all the way into the best living quarters upstairs, still in admiration. If they didn’t wear a robe and a holy emblem, they would even think that this was a Saintess of the church.

Walking into the podium, An Qi’s eyes drooped slightly and she eased her steps.

Through the round window, she could see Elantra, slovenly dressed in a crumpled shirt, practicing his sword silently in the cramped cabin.

Gritting his teeth, his face was cold and hard, as if he was using all his strength against the invisible enemy, every sword.

Where is the appearance of the middle-aged two teenagers in the past?

In the next cabin, Daveli, who had put away all her gorgeous clothes, sat by the porthole and watched the sea quietly.

She has lost a lot of weight these days, her shoulders are thin, and even her chin, which is slightly rich because of a good life, has become a little slender.

But since receiving the news of Gerr’s accident, Daveli has not cried from beginning to end, but in An Qi’s eyes, this situation is more disturbing than crying. .

Obviously, this sudden change has changed a lot of this original warm home.

‘Angie, teacher and Uncle are not here, you have to be strong and take good care of Auntie! ‘

Biting her cherry-colored lower lip, An Qi, who was equally unhappy in her heart, held a bunch of tulips that she had created using witchcraft, pushed the door and walked in.

“Auntie! Look, what is this?”

After beheading Gang Knight and returning to “Treasure Tree Bay”, it was nearly a week of time quietly pass.

The “Cape Storm” still did not arrive, and Milan sent a message through the Spirit World messenger that they encountered a hurricane on the way, which delayed the trip, and it may take two more days.

On the other hand, the manufacture of electromagnetic weapons on Alwin’s side has gradually taken shape.

The optimal choice “Magnetic Stone”, as the crystallization of a civilization, is obviously not so easy to crack.

Even if Olivia, the official wizard of the gemological school, joins, and on the premise that some technical materials are harvested in the city, it is not an overnight process to reproduce the magnetic stone in the material world.

Alwin was thinking something simple after all.

However, it is not that absolutely does not have gains, and the two worked together to create a transitional product.

The gem minerals belonging to the hexagonal crystal system, including apatite, beryl and azurite, are the same as magnetite in natural gemstones.

Olivia, using the intuition of a gemological wizard, used the light blue “aquamarine” in beryl as a substitute, and successfully reproduced some of the functions of the “magnetite”.

It can be regarded as a kind of “extraordinary battery” with extremely high energy storage efficiency. Although there is no infinite energy, it is enough for the electromagnetic weapons currently produced by Alwin. “Save energy in advance.

With this “extraordinary battery” as the core, Alwin successfully produced the first prototype electromagnetic gun in the past few days.

The principle has been clarified for a long time. For a wizard with strong hands-on ability, it is not difficult to turn theory into reality.

Alwin initially had two options: electromagnetic railguns and coil guns.

Their principles have nothing common with each other.

The railgun is the interaction of the magnetic field and the electric current, which produces a strong ampere force to push the projectile, reaching a very high speed (theoretically it can reach sub-light speed)

The coil gun is through the multi- Stage acceleration coil, the magnetic field of the induced current interacts with the magnetic field of the acceleration coil current to generate the Lorentz force, which accelerates the projectile and launches it.

Comparatively.

The rails of the rail gun will have a violent ablation effect, and the rails need to be replaced after a certain number of shots. And even if friction is ignored, because of energy efficiency, the conversion of electrical energy and kinetic energy can only reach about 35%-50%.

The coil gun can avoid the mechanical contact between the projectile and the gun barrel through the magnetic levitation technology, which avoids the generation of frictional resistance. In theory, the coil gun can reach 100% of its potential, which is almost twice the efficiency of the rail gun.

Alwin also used the latter technology with the familiar 【Profound Truth · Coil Cannon】.

Although the structure is relatively complicated, he finally chose the “coil gun” as his first sect electromagnetic gun.

That is,【Super Arms·Electromagnetic Gun 1.0】can be carried on board and can be hand-held (limited to third rank super)

Because there is no need to consider the problem of carrying, the shape looks like a huge rotary Bore-type machine gun, silver white gun body with fine blue rune, caliber 23mm, barrel length of four meters with a ring of golden external magnets.

Taking into account factors such as electrical conductivity, ease of acquisition, and plasticity, the main material used in this railgun is pure silver that has been enchanted by alchemy to further change its physical properties.

When I looted the Golden Post Road before, I still had a lot of silver ingots for ceremony materials, and it was more than enough to build a machine gun.

The end is inlaid with a hexagonal crystal pillar “aquamarine” battery from Olivia.

At the same time as a plug-in, there is also a pair of wrist braces connected with countless wires, which can be manually operated at critical moments.

And in order to increase the muzzle velocity, he used all the methods he could think of.

External parallel uniform magnetic field: A horseshoe-shaped magnet mechanism with an iron core is added outside the gun barrel, so that the projectile can obtain a larger acceleration magnetic field.

Growing track: Because the kinetic energy at the end point is proportional to the square root of the track length.

Using lightweight projectiles: Under the same kinetic energy, the terminal velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the projectile mass.

For railguns that need to be powered, there are mainly two kinds of ammunition, inert metal damage element and active damage element technology.

Inert metal damage elements mainly include aluminum, steel, tungsten, etc., and can only destroy targets by the kinetic energy of high-speed flight.

The active damage element technology not only has mechanical strength similar to metal, but also contains chemical energy equivalent to high-energy explosives, and has similar safety to inert materials. It will explode only after hitting the target at high speed.

Theoretically the highest quality railgun shells.

“Unfortunately, I won’t make the active damage element!”

In the end, Alwin chose the enchanted aluminum bullet with lighter weight as the main ammunition of the electromagnetic gun, and cooperated with tungsten steel. .

Although there is alchemy, aluminum that needs to be electrolytically refined is a precious metal comparable to gold and silver in this era, but it is actually the most abundant metal element in the earth’s crust.

In the future, others may think that [Electromagnetic Cannon] is extremely expensive and has great restrictions, but for Alwin, it is actually the price of cabbage.

So, after creating an ultimate weapon, he found a way to get rich.

There are many ways to make a fortune, so leave him alone for the time being.

As people who love guns, Alwin and Olivia fumble around this silver white machine gun, which combines the skills and wisdom of the two, and they really love it.

Everything is in place, and they only have one question left:

“Who should I give this hot first shot?”
