In the weapons testing site, a full 300-meter area is tightly surrounded by ravines and barbed wire.
A wild bull was mind-controlled and jumped out of the forklift's iron cage. It breathed hot white air while its hooves rubbed anxiously on the ground.
This thick-skinned guy was wearing a layer of silver-white armor, and his eyes were covered with a layer of glass. He discovered that there was a row of people standing on the other side of the area.
Start charging towards the line of infantry fifty meters away.
What a guy! So cool!
Fifty meters away, the bullet hit this layer of silver armor and sparked directly. When the kinetic energy is released beyond a certain intensity, it will be converted. In this world, except for ordinary people's chopping level energy, which conforms to the classic Newton's theorem, everything else will
This phenomenon occurs.
Of course, the armor on this bull is not thick, it is just a 3mm steel plate. If it were placed on the earth, it would have been penetrated by projectiles.
But there seems to be a force field released under the skin of the bull. When the kinetic energy of the bullet hits the armor, the kinetic energy on the armor seems to be spread equally to the bull at the first time. The original puncture damage is to the bull.
It's just a punch.
Bullets cannot penetrate the armor first, then the cowhide, and finally the muscle, releasing the kinetic energy and creating a cavity, just like the common sense of earth physics "a needle penetrates paper".
~
On the observation platform nearby, Wei Keng saw through identification techniques that after the piercing firepower came into contact with the armor, it was like a Newton's pendulum, and most of the kinetic energy was directly absorbed by the skeleton of the bull. This is equivalent to the bullet being wrapped in cotton, like a small bullet.
The fist hit the chest.
As the bull resisted the bullet and rushed forward, it released its talent "Fear and Shock".
This group of militiamen who lacked willpower were obviously not exempt, and their hands holding the guns were unsteady.
This was an exercise. There was no way that Wei Keng would let his militiamen get injured. When the barbarian bull rushed ten meters in front of the front line corps, groundwater seeped upward in the ground ahead, and the quagmire technique immediately stopped the charging momentum of the bull.
Coming down, as the whistle blew, these musketeers retreated hurriedly.
Of course, Mr. Wei still underestimated the lower limit of the peasant soldiers.
In the panic of the line infantry retreating, some did not even have time to retract the bayonets on the card slots, and when they turned around, there was a terrible scene of scratching each other.
This made Wei Keng, a lord, slap his forehead, feeling quite embarrassed.
Wei Keng muttered in his heart: "Giving them guns is like burning fire sticks. This won't work, it won't work. We have to stack equipment and give them a morale badge."
The morale badge is a fixed version of the first-level magic of the protection system. It can store your energetic status in the badge and enhance your immunity.
Narrator: If you are too excited at night and cannot sleep, you can save the state and change it to the sluggish state when you get up early in the morning. It is a practical arcane equipment.
~
This is the end of the Musketeers' drill.
Although it was not satisfactory, Wei Keng still rewarded them with extra meals. Of course! They will have to practice more in the next month.
For example: it should become a habit to put away the bayonet before retreating, and the matter of opening a bloody hole to one's own people should not happen again under any circumstances.
Master Wei ended up restraining the wild bull that was going crazy in the swamp. The arcane light on his hand flashed, and a series of "Charm Hypnosis" was emitted, which was combined with the injection of "narcotic drugs" from the automatic injector on the outer armor to form a combination punch.
The bull, which had driven his peasants and soldiers into a panic, fell into a deep sleep.
Then the weapons engineers at the testing site came in and took screwdrivers and screwdrivers to remove the armor from the bull.
This set of lobster shell-like diamond armor does not have any runes loaded on it, but relying solely on the "kinetic energy dispersion" (tough skin) talent of the Barbarian Bull, it has reached a point where even the current upper limit of individual firearms cannot penetrate it.
.This makes it difficult for Mr. Wei to imagine how tough those high-level knights must be.
~
After Wei Keng and the engineers checked the effect of the first group of musketeers, they clapped their hands and motioned for the second group to come in for testing.
The piercing damage of a musket is just that, but what about magic damage?
A whole group of young students appeared on stage wearing blue and white school uniforms. They all had a badge on their chest and energy emitters on their arms.
In this energy radiator, there are a total of two evocation spells, one is tremor electric shock, and the other is frost ray. How powerful it is~
The former can electrocute a toad to death or stop a person's heartbeat for a second or two, while the latter is equivalent to a cup of dry ice being poured directly on you.
These are all zero-level arcane spells. In terms of real lethality, they are not even as damaging as a stab with a dagger. In other words, as the saying goes, junior mages are not as good as assassins.
However, during the superposition process of spells, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. One electric shock can make your heart stop for a second or two, which is not a big deal, but ten electric shocks can make people incontinent and lose their ability to fight. A frost ray, ordinary
People can tolerate it for a while and it will pass, but ten times will make people's body temperature drop and their reactions slow down.
Compared with the embarrassing situation where piercing attacks can be blocked by armor, magical energy will not dissipate as quickly as kinetic energy. Instead, due to the quantum phenomenon here, it will continue to reverberate in the heavy armor and flesh and blood body, constantly destroying cells and organs and tissues.
activity, causing 100% damage.
Of course, if there is equipment such as rune bracers to export spell damage and dissipate it like a heat sink, then spell damage can also be reduced.
~
As the march plays
The mage apprentices began to line up and raise their hands towards the target, and the lightning and frost began to be released. The ice and lightning dissipated fifty meters away.
After Wei Keng finished recording all the way, he asked them to withdraw as well.
Beam energy ray weapons have been tested. These young students have been training for a year and can barely operate a level one spell equipment.
~
In the past few months, Carret has also popularized basic arcane methods in various factories. While providing meditation methods, it also provided a batch of standard weights and measures equipment.
These devices provide these students with a scalar reference when perceiving energy differences.
In the books of natural science, it is also recorded what kind of phenomena will occur when reaching a certain scalar quantity. In the end, the badge on each of their chests records that they used their mental power to mark various physical quantities in class.
scale.
This will allow you to operate the energy ray equipment on your arm.
This ray equipment, the internal energy storage battery, various wires, and the lens exciter are the simplest arcane equipment. Of course, the level is only magic level.
But even so, all energy radiation equipment requires mental power to control, otherwise there will be a path error and it will explode directly in the hand.
~
Moreover, this kind of equipment cannot be interchanged with everyone's equipment like on Earth.
After being given to an apprentice, it becomes a personal item just like a mask, toothbrush, and towel.
Masks and toothbrushes are used because the skin, saliva, and mucous membranes are in close contact, and exchanges can easily lead to unhygienic conditions. And the spirit, in this world, is more private than the oral mucosa.
Arcane items are items that control energy mentally. After any arcane item is used, there will be a personal mental residue.
Of course, most people have no problem, just like good brothers drinking a bottle of water in the land of pheasant soup. However, it cannot be ruled out that some people's mental residues have negative effects and are harmful to others.
More importantly, each of these arcane apprentices has a different understanding of scalars. During the exchange process, arcane supplies will cause the energy circuit to form a large number of small bumps caused by conflicts, and the accumulation will be unstable.
~
In the process of popularizing Austrian law in the factory compound, the data obtained by Wei Keng showed that.
Allowing students to grow one or two points in intelligence is about the same resource consumption as allowing some prime men born in peasant families to grow one or two points in strength.
In other words, with the support of industrial productivity, an arcane army can also be developed.
However, Mr. Wei did the math! The Arcane Forces, these seekers of knowledge are definitely not pursuing a full meal every day, or entertainment. They need a salary of at least fifteen silver coins per month, and even equip them with equipment.
The total cost is more than three times that of the Musketeers!
Knowledge is expensive, and the Master's army is naturally expensive to build.
No, the system has given Wei Keng some popular science.
Qin Xiaohan: "There is no shortage of precedents in history for Arcane mages to establish kingdoms. They have made many attempts to form an army of spellcasters. Without exception, in order to save costs and increase the speed of training, they have adopted the method of 'implanting blood'
.As for what has no lower limit, it is 'human body modification'."
Interface 1: A large number of arcane equipment such as medical cabins appear. Syringes are inserted into the blood vessels of the recipient.
Implanting blood is to purify the blood of some high-level monsters that can naturally cast spells, and implant it into the human body so that the human body can cast spells according to the energy of the blood. This can save the process of learning arcane magic. Anyway, most of these implants are for
Stabilize your social status and do not pursue a higher path.
Interface 2: The medical equipment is much cruder, and there are a lot of bloody human surgeries.
Human body modification is cheaper than blood injection. It does not require the blood of high-level monsters, or even purifies it, and directly implants the spell-casting organs of low-level monsters into the human body.
For example, the interface links the evil eye, the spell-casting organ of a low-level creature, to humans. Such an army is often positioned as a slave.
~
Finally, Qin Xiaohan reminded Wei Keng not to have too high expectations for the "Arcane Mage Troop". You are the God of Industry, not the God of Magic.
All the concepts that can be thought of have been thought of by the arcane mages in this world, and for the ultimate combat efficiency, these extreme arcanists are crazy. The appearance of a middle-aged man with a moral bottom line cannot be matched in this regard.
Their.
Therefore, Wei Keng paced.
All visible roads have been traveled by people in this world, and there are not many roads left for ourselves.

Young Carret is thinking about his goals.
To the north, in the main city of the Reiter Territory, the mission of destroying evil is being carried out.
When a high-level team from the imperial capital visited the Duke, they were naturally not welcome. The black-armored knight standing guard for the Duke ruthlessly blocked the high-level team.
This black-armored knight cannot see any face, just like a constructed object, but the cold light flashing in his eyes can make people sure that he is a human being.
So we could only show the emperor's order and enter by force.
However, after entering, although the obvious evil atmosphere can be detected, the source of the evil cannot be determined.
The Duke looked pale and looked like he was overindulging himself. He stood among his own escorts and looked at this high-ranking team.
Faced with the righteous rebuke from the knight captain, the Duke's eyes flickered but he resolutely refused to let them control him: "This is persecution! It's the people in power in the imperial capital who are hunting down the defeated royal family!"
Faced with such accusations, the Knight Commander was obviously in a dilemma. Now that he was pursuing the territory of the loser in the battle for the throne, it was indeed a bit unconvincing.
In this stiff confrontation,
The accompanying arcane mage Rob broke the stalemate. No one knew what his familiar did. Anyway, a magic riot took place in the Duke's backyard.
Black smoke seeped out from the building like water, accompanied by the screams of banshees.
Judging from the evil and chaotic aura, this is a visitor from the abyss.
Karet's father signed a contract with the succubus. The reason for signing the contract was not to become a powerful mystic, but purely for enjoyment. The succubus is the most depraved and dangerous creature.
As a magician, the Duke obviously fell in love with this succubus, and showed great anger when faced with the interruption of the uninvited guest.
(The master-servant relationship between the warlock and the suzerain may be ambiguous, but most of it is just the wishful thinking of mortals. The suzerain just makes better use of the emotions of mortals to serve himself.)
I broke my face,
And after obtaining such clear evidence, the knight commander took a deep breath, righteously took back the title of Duke on behalf of the royal family, and then began the crusade.
Rob, the mage, listened to the roar of demonic language coming from the dark smoke, with a mysterious smile on his lips.

On the upper river bank where Xiange Town is located.
On the endless farmland on both sides of the strait, Wei Keng watched three steam tractors plowing the farmland. This is dwarven technology. The core component is three cylinders, and the magic runes on them can store high-pressure steam for a long time.
This is definitely a black technology. High-pressure steam maintains a stable supercritical state in an adiabatic cylinder. This is much more powerful than steam engines on earth.
Moreover, this mechanical structure is simpler than that of an internal combustion engine. The deflagration reaction of an internal combustion engine is much more intense than that of steam, and the penetration of elements is more intense. If you want to make qualified cylinders and gas pipelines, the standards must be higher, and of course the price will be higher.
It is more expensive. Therefore, internal combustion technology is still in the shadow of the dwarf technology system.
After the white iron machine plow cut through the land, the soil was turned out from the machine plow like surging spring water.
The farmers on the side watched in awe as this giant steel beast plowed the land diligently under the control of the city pilot.
As for the tax collector on the side, he was busy flattering the young heir to the territory!
In the process of agricultural mechanization, Wei Keng was worried about the resistance to land acquisition at first, but later he found that he was overthinking it!
There is no land buying and selling in this world, only nobles have ownership of land. And the biggest landowner in the entire Ruite Territory is his family.
Master Carret directly covered the taxes that Dad was going to collect this year, and then the best land in the two river areas was contracted by Master Carret.
~
This farmland is not only mechanized, but also requires an irrigation system. After mapping the terrain of the area through the magic eye, Wei Keng plans to build three aqueducts. These aqueducts are like concrete bridges that stand on the three-meter-high field of the farmland.
place, directing water into land farther away from the river bed.
The water in the aqueduct is pumped by large water trucks into a ten-meter-high water tower and then released.
To replicate such infrastructure in various places, sufficient social forces need to be mobilized. The existing tax system's crude collection model for rural households will definitely not work.
Wei Keng glanced at the honest-looking tax officials and cursed in his mind: "Don't think I don't know. You can charge double the amount of tax set here."
In the history of Chinese dynasties, the "Tao" of tax collectors making money is profound and profound.
For example: when the price of food is low, you will directly collect copper coins; when the price of food is high, you will directly collect rations. As the price difference changes, you can line your pockets.
Agricultural countries collect grain taxes or poll taxes from farmers, which is the easiest place to get into trouble. At the same time, they directly put pressure on the lowest levels, resulting in extremely high governance costs.
However, these are all institutional issues.
Young Master Wei Keng began to think about how to rationally arrange these "experienced tax teams" and formalize them.
Of course Wei Keng thought: "I have to collect stamp duty."
Stamp duty is a tax that proves the legal flow of goods. It is a proof of bulk commodities before they enter the formal market. The ruling party can receive the tax as long as it controls the market warehousing, transportation, sales and other links.
For merchants, small commodities are difficult to supervise, and they may evade taxes, but bulk commodities must be transported and stored in warehouses, so they cannot escape. If they enter the market without paying taxes, the probability of being confiscated is almost 100%.
When Wei Keng was thinking about how to supply funds for public construction in the process of industrial development, a strange feeling suddenly came over him.
Wei Keng immediately stood up from his seat and opened the system's calculation system.
