Chapter 317 Do you think it is Gundam? It's actually my mecha!
Charlemagne first checked a heavy gun with a barrel diameter of about 200mm. After many experiments, Modante thought that this caliber was the most suitable, too big and it would consume too much energy, and too small and not powerful enough.
"The 203 mm caliber magic guide gun has already passed preliminary tests after its successful development. It is amazingly powerful, but it also consumes a lot of energy."
"After communicating with the dwarf engineering masters, I tried to make a version of the gunpowder bullet, but the power is much worse than the original magic gun, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
Charlemagne nodded after hearing Modant's introduction. The quality of gunpowder in the world of Azeroth is still very primitive. If the power of gunpowder is not enough, the lethality of natural shells will be much worse.
"In addition, according to your suggestion, Duke Theron, the rifling is drawn in the barrel and the shell is designed to be conical. It was much better before."
After a long period of research, Modant finally brought his idea that caliber is justice to the limit. At least at this stage, the 203mm caliber is already the most stable and cost-effective large-caliber artillery.
Next was Daros Moonspear, who was researching magic guns. He stepped forward and handed Charlemagne an exquisite finished magic gun.
“Although many versions have been developed, I personally like this one the most. It is a 7.62mm caliber magic rifle, which can switch between single-shot shooting and continuous shooting mode, and also has built-in rifling.”
"After the joint development with the dwarf, I also tried to make a gunpowder version, but due to the power of gunpowder, the lethality is not as good as the magic gun, and the ammunition supply is also more troublesome, so I just shared the technology with the dwarf. Not used."
"Right now, this magic gun is a finished version that has undergone many tests. It consumes medium energy. It only needs a small arcane core to support 5,000 shots. It is also more convenient to switch arcane cores, at least compared to Modante's. The guy's cannon is much more useful."
Modant heard Daros' slander and immediately jumped up and shouted, "What are you talking about! How much damage can your toy-like caliber cause, my cannon..."
Charlemagne heard the two quarrel again, waved his hand with a headache and said, "Okay, okay, your academic debate will be debated later, Ledros, where are you?"
Lyderos bowed confidently and said, "I promise to satisfy you, please take a look." As he spoke, he pointed to the half-kneeling humanoid arcane puppet in the center of the fifth-floor hall.
"Although I don't know why you named it Mecha, but the current X105 version is also a mature product."
Ledros proudly patted the shoulder of the new arcane puppet in front of him and introduced, "It is 3.2 meters high. The exoskeleton can perfectly cover the body of the high elves. It has a built-in dual-core structure. It can run independently for 1 hour after leaving the sunwell. Adding a flying backpack, but it consumes a lot of energy, so it needs to be used with caution.”
"In terms of arming, there are various types of melee weapons and magic rifles dedicated to mechs, which can be selected according to the driver's personal preferences. Due to the use of specific enchanted metals, energy can be transmitted inside the mecha, and mecha drivers can use their respective professions while driving. Energy for offense and defense."
Charlemagne circled around the mecha that was becoming more and more like a Gundam, and nodded in satisfaction.
In terms of cost, it is much more expensive than the crawler-type puppets developed in the early stage. It is bound to not be able to be deployed in large quantities in the army, and can only be used as a leader machine.
In recent years, Taronicus has made some modifications to the original prototype, allowing the high elves to enter it and drive manually, and developed a mass-produced version of the mecha by abandoning the energy-transmitting armor. The cost is much cheaper than the X-series It is most suitable as a mass production machine.
Charlemagne encouraged and patted the shoulders of the three of them respectively, "Well done, the next step is the issue of mass production. In this regard, the Windrunner Councilor will discuss with you in the next step, and I will not intervene in it."
Charlemagne, in order to avoid too heavy support, he is only in charge of the research and development department, and the follow-up mass production of the military industry is directly handed over to the Silver Moon Council. He has initially submitted the research and development results of Mordant and the others to Kael'thas King and members of parliament.
It is now the end of the 14th year of the Dark Portal. I learned from Antonidas, who often came to Quel'Thalas to teach Jaina, that in April this year, Kel'Thuzad was finally accused because of the appearance of undead animals. Couldn't stand his behavior either, and kicked him out of Dalaran by a 5-2 vote.
Those two votes were the prerogative of Antonidas as the speaker, but unfortunately, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he couldn't keep this genius disciple in the end.
Kel'Thuzad didn't feel sorry for this. Before leaving, he solemnly thanked Antonidas for his teachings over the years, and expressed apology for failing to live up to his expectations.
Since then, no one has seen Kel'Thuzad, as if the archmage just evaporated into the world.
Under the careful monitoring of the secret channel, Northrend sent back information that the spider-men of Azronelub seemed to be fighting some opponent deep underground, and at the same time, the southern part of Icecrown Glacier was built out of thin air in the past few years. A strong fortress was built, and some strange plagues began to appear in the surrounding vrykul villages.
These signs all show that Ner'zhul, the Lich King, has passed the initial period of careful exploration, and is preparing to expand outward. His first target is the ubiquitous Vrykul in Northen.
However, this guy has been under the surveillance of the five Dreadlords, and he has to get their consent to make bigger moves. This makes Ner'zhul, who has absorbed many souls and is becoming more and more mentally powerful, feel more and more bored.
At the same time, in a corner unknown to Charlemagne, the Frostwolf clan living in the Snow Mountains of Alterac and Goel, who is about to turn 15 years old, also welcomed the most important mentor in his life, the old chief of the tribe, Alter. Grim Doomhammer.
At this time, Charlemagne had no time to find the missing Thrall. Clicia and Luti sent back to Quel'Thalas a few days ago to bring important news.
After a long period of lock-up, the Children of the Night finally sent the magic swordsmen to exile the civilians again. As soon as the magic swordsmen walked out of the barrier, they were stopped by Luti who had been waiting for a long time.
Facts have proved that Luti was not bragging at the beginning. He did have a very high prestige among the magic swordsmen. It didn't take much effort for Luti, who had restored his former appearance and even improved in strength, to persuade the group of magic swordsmen to return to his hometown. Report to the city of Suramar.
According to the follow-up news from Calpurnia, the ambassador to Suramar, Ke Lixia was finally allowed to return to the city of Suramar to meet with the great magister Elisande again. Ms. There were bursts of exclamations from the consultants.
Elisande thinks that this is a good opportunity for Nightborne to break away from self-defense and return to the civilized world. She specially summoned Calpuronia, and the two parties have initially agreed on a meeting time after contacting and confirming.
According to King Kael'thas's description of the external time records, the official meeting time of the two parties was finally set on January 1, 2015 at the Dark Portal. Since some consultants expressed opposition to the opening of Suramar, the meeting place was set in Su In the Night Fortress of Rama City.
