Boll patted the cold metal barrel of the gun barrel hard, his tone full of pride and pride.

"This thing is an electromagnetic gun?!"

The corner of Zuo Si's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

This is a 500-meter-long barrel!

If you have no idea about this length unit, you can refer to the size of a modern aircraft carrier that is more than 300 meters long and you will know how outrageous it is.

If the floating city hadn't had the ability to control gravity, just moving would have been a huge challenge.

Bol laughed and nodded: "Hahahaha! That's right! It's spectacular, isn't it? In order to build these super cannons, I almost used up all the steel reserves in each warehouse. Remember this the next time you go to Earth.

Purchase more. Otherwise, it will probably take a month or two to build one just relying on the undead laborers and the magical machinery here."

"Can you tell me your design ideas and the specific parameters of this gun?"

An expression of interest appeared on Zuo Si's face.

After all, weapons, especially cannons, often follow the most basic and simple principle.

That is, the longer the barrel means the higher the range, and the thicker the caliber means the more amazing the killing radius of the shell.

"Of course! It's my pleasure."

Boll bowed gracefully, then smoothed his hair that was blown by the wind, raised the corners of his mouth and introduced: "Actually, I originally wanted to design a cannon powered by steam.

After all, the floating city can rise to thousands of meters high. We are born with the advantage of height and lower air resistance.

As long as the initial kinetic energy is not too high, it is easy to get a good range.

Moreover, the steam power structure is simpler and less prone to various problems.

But in actual operation, I found that using steam as power has an unsolvable problem, which is the impact of thermal expansion and contraction on the barrel after each launch.

If fired continuously in a short period of time, it is easy to cause the inner wall to be uneven.

Later, after David's reminder, I realized that I had entered a misunderstanding in my thinking. I always subconsciously regarded certain common sense on the earth as truth, forgetting that this is a magical world with infinite possibilities.

For example, when designing a cannon on Earth, in addition to power and range, the first thing to consider is controlling weight and cost to ensure that existing transportation tools can deliver it to where it is needed.

But for us who own the floating city, all this is not a problem.

No matter how heavy the cannon is, anti-gravity can easily place it where it is needed, or even create a special floating turret.

Another point is that Monte discovered a new room-temperature synthetic superconducting material that can provide huge electromagnetic force.

In this way, the electromagnetic gun idea replaced the original steam cannon design.

And in this world, things like electrical energy are almost endless.

As long as you open a portal to the wind elemental plane, you can easily collect a huge amount of electrical energy from an area ravaged by thunderstorms that is unimaginable even in the earth's electrical age.

Not to mention that you can also use the high temperature of the fire elemental plane and the never-ending water flow of the water elemental plane to build a large number of power stations to meet the demand.

Anyway, the electromagnetic principle is not complicated. If you encounter difficulties in process and performance, you can make up for it through amplification. In short, we should implement the idea of ​​​​working hard to achieve miracles.

Coupled with the use of various incredible magical powers, the first-generation behemoth electromagnetic gun you see now was finally born.

It can easily launch objects weighing hundreds of tons up to 200 kilometers away.

As long as the crystal array in the mage tower has sufficient energy storage, it can even fire continuously at a rate of six rounds per minute.

This is just the most primitive function.

In addition, when it is necessary to carry out ultra-long-distance delivery and shooting, the barrel can also add an anti-gravity magic to the cannonball, increasing its range from 200 kilometers to more than 2,000 kilometers.

Of course, due to the lack of guidance capabilities, there must be no accuracy.

Let alone 2,000 kilometers, it is difficult to hit the target accurately even at 200 kilometers, and even after calculation, the error is often scary.

In order to solve this problem, I had to add [Accidental Technique] and bind a [Flying Technique].

In this way, when the artillery shell reaches the target area, the [Accident Technique] will be activated immediately, and then the [Flying Technique] will adjust the direction, and finally rely on inertia and gravity to fall from the sky and hit it, greatly reducing the error.

To sum it up simply, the current first-generation Behemoth electromagnetic gun is just a simple transportation and launching device. What really makes the shells hit depends on the power of magic.

So if you want to carry out a precise attack beyond visual range, the cost is quite high. It is even far less than opening a channel and letting those low-level undead hold a burning can or an iron can filled with a liquid hydrogen and oxygen mixture to launch the attack.

Death Charge is a great deal.

However, in the future, when the technology matures, you can consider adding a gyroscope to complete inertial guidance through a combination of magic and technology, thereby reducing part of the cost.

In addition, I worked with Camus to make several fairly effective artillery shells.

The first of them is, of course, the large-volume and full-tube liquid hydrogen-oxygen artillery shell.

Its principle is very simple. It is basically a metal can filled with hydrogen and oxygen obtained by compressing electrolyzed water.

The moment it hits the ground, the jar will trigger a spell to tear it apart from the middle and produce a violent gas expansion effect.

This alone can cause serious impact damage to enemies within a hundred meters.

Immediately afterwards, the enchanted warhead will release a ring of [Burning Hands].

Then the fully mixed hydrogen and oxygen in the surrounding space will ignite instantly, forming a terrifying explosion effect.

We have tried to launch one before, with a direct damage radius of more than one kilometer. The explosion will completely drain the oxygen within two kilometers, and even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be suffocated for several minutes.

Not only that!

Because the hydrogen-oxygen reaction will form water molecules, the high temperature generated by the explosion will vaporize the water to form boiling water vapor.

Therefore, if a creature accidentally inhales it even two kilometers away, it will cause a devastating blow to the respiratory system in an instant, and even lead to death on the spot.

The second type is an incendiary bomb, which is filled with a mixed liquid developed by Camus that can burn violently.

The composition of this viscous liquid is very complex, including high-purity alcohol, white phosphorus, and some unknown oils, fats, resins, and granular seed-like things.

Finally, add incendiary glue that will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air, and a small amount of gem powder that can increase combustion efficiency, and a super incendiary bomb that can bring purgatory back to earth is completed.

As for power...

We previously tried to detonate a relatively small one on a mountain forty kilometers away from the floating city.

As a result, not to mention the animals and plants on that mountain, not even a slightly larger stone could be found, and everything exploded in violent burning.

If it were thrown on someone, the scene would be beyond description in words.

If I were hit, I would definitely try every means to commit suicide immediately.

And in order to increase the killing area, I divided the viscous liquid originally intended to be stuffed into a super giant tank into small tanks ranging from 50 kilograms to 100 kilograms and integrated them into a cannonball.

In this way, it can bloom in the air like a cluster bomb and cover a larger area, leaving the enemy with no way to escape.

The third type is a poison gas bomb filled with liquid gas.

It is divided into two types.

One is a deadly gas similar to [Death Cloud Technique];

The other is a non-lethal paralyzing gas like [Stinky Cloud Technique].

Although I made them, I hope you won't use them unless absolutely necessary.

Especially the first one, never use it on humans."

After listening to this weapons design expert's introduction, Zuo Si finally understood what "professional" means.

Although he can also use his scientific knowledge and magical power to create something with quite good performance.

But compared with this kind of electromagnetic gun that has a range of hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers, it is really not worth mentioning.

At the same time, this also strengthened his determination to continue to introduce high-end talents from the earth.

Only thirty people can create something so outrageous. If there were hundreds or even thousands of people, they wouldn't be able to create a super civilization directly.

Obviously, for these scientists, after acquiring a nearly omnipotent tool like magic, it is equivalent to completing a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Materials, technology, energy, and resources that previously troubled the development of science and technology are no longer problems now.

Because magic can do things that technology cannot do, such as anti-gravity, ultra-long-distance teleportation, energy manipulation, etc., and technology can make up for things that are difficult to do with magic.

After thinking about this, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and commented: "Great work! Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, it gives our floating city a super long-distance attack weapon.

And your mind hasn’t opened up yet.

Who stipulates that electromagnetic guns can only be used to fire shells?

Can't it be used as a cheap means of transportation?

When teleportation is not possible in a certain place, electromagnetic guns can be used to launch people and materials.

You only need to add some spells that can offset the overload, and let the vehicle release a large amount of [Feather Falling Technique] when it is close enough to the ground, and the personnel will be able to land safely.

Don’t forget, the people who will live in this floating city in the future are not ordinary people, but a group of fourth natural disasters who are not afraid of death at all.

No matter how many times they die, these players can wake up again as new clones."

"Yes! Our souls are now kept in a safe place. There is no need to be as cautious as before for fear of accidental death. Perhaps in the near future, death can even become a common thing.

It's like eating and sleeping." Boll's tone was full of excitement.

Since he is the youngest among all the imported talents in this wave, he is far from as calm as those old people, but full of adventurous spirit.
