The design process of the tank was very smooth. Tang En provided the basic structural design drawings, and then Croto provided reasonable engineering suggestions to modify it. Brian then evaluated the overall cost and quantity from the perspective of the chief engineer ... Everyone should see that Brian's skill point is obviously crooked.

As a dwarf named forging, now he is almost becoming an engineer, which is really a mixed development.

"Here, in addition to what you call the main gun, I think it is necessary to add some lethality in front of the tank."

Croto pointed to the front of the tank and said: "Instead of being an armor plate here, it is better to add the kind of winch of a combine harvester, compared to the direct impact, the sawtooth winch looks more deterrent."

Tang En thought about the feasibility, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Although the power of the main gun is huge, if the number of chaotic creatures is too large and it breaks the line of defense to reach a close distance, it is obviously not enough to rely on the impact force to crush it. The blessed winch can effectively smash those guys. Then heavy tracks can crush them further, and the killing efficiency will be greatly increased.

"Also, although the power of large-caliber machine guns is very fierce, the number of bullets is also a problem. The internal inventory of the tank is limited. Considering the defensive weapons after the bullets are empty, what do you think of installing a large runner? The last four swords can be rotated to completely isolate the enemy's attack. "

Tang En shook his head after thinking about the consequences: "It is not necessary, it is a complete burden. The issue of bullet capacity can be solved by using space equipment. I am not afraid."

Mom's tyrant!

Down was right, Croto was speechless.

Because no one besides him can come up with so much space equipment to arm a mass-produced weapon-and it is only used to refill ammunition supplies.

"Ok."

Croto shrugged and said, "What about the dwarf shrinking rays or freezing rays? Are you interested?"

Tang En was overjoyed: "Of course I'm interested! But are you two weapons that can produce energy?"

The power of dwarf reduction rays and dwarf frozen rays is very strong, and it can play an unexpected role when used in the right place.

"Can't ..."

"Then you say an egg!"

These two weapons are the legacy technology of the ancient times. Now the dwarf has not cracked the technical principle at all, and only a small number of finished products can be spliced ​​from the parts excavated in the ruins, which is definitely not enough for the chariot.

In the end, Tang En can only give up this tempting idea.

"The weight of the armored vehicle is too heavy, will it affect the mobility? If you add floating stones, you can greatly reduce the weight of the armored vehicle."

"My own weight is also a type of weapon, but you are right, I am now thinking about whether the effect of floating stones can be controlled."

Of course, Tang En knows the effect of the floating stone. If the weight of the armored vehicle is reduced, the speed will not fly yet? However, the weight of the tank itself is also an important indicator of its lethality and defensive power. The heavier the tank, the less likely it is to be overturned by the enemy, and the stronger the resistance to the frontal impact, if it is too light, it may be a The charge of a large chaotic creature can knock the tank car out.

Croto frowned. "Controllable? Can it be done?"

"It's difficult at the moment."

Tang En shook his head. The composition of the floating stone is very complicated. They have not yet figured out which component in the floating stone can reduce the weight of the object.

At the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute, there is now a special research room that studies eliminators and floating stones. Those wild mages grind two special stones into dust, and then analyze the composition of them. Tang En's goal is to eliminate useless Part, just extract the effective ingredients, and then think of ways to purify and aggregate to create real anti-gravity materials and anti-magic materials.

It's a pity that the progress of that research room is quite slow. After the master glasses of engineering, the progress was only slightly accelerated.

To realize the controllability of floating stones, the more critical point is how to effectively isolate the effects of floating stones. Tang En let them try various metals, minerals, plants and even spells. He believes that there must be something to stop the floating stones. The effect of empty stone is the same as that of lead blocking radiation.

"Speaking is tantamount to not saying ..."

Tang En spread his hand: "But there is at least one direction to go."

The three men refined the design of the tank while chatting, the final design of the tank was already very different from the tank on the earth.

The main turret of the tank has not changed, and the machine gun above has not changed. The observation method has changed: Tang En canceled the observation window. In Prendall without a computer and radar, the best choice is still the Arcane Eye.

The anti-riot armor on the front of the tank is converted into a saw blade-equipped winch. The winch will rotate as the tank advances, twisting enemies and plants blocking the road into fragments.

The tracks did not change, but thick side decks were added to the side to protect the tracks.

The rear of the tank is a row of adjustable injection ports hidden under the armor plate. Tang En's wind-powered magic engine designed for the tank has four injection holes. The powerful engine provides huge power for the tank. The adjustable The spray port can be adjusted upwards and downwards, according to the needs of the situation can reduce or increase the pressure of the tank on the ground.

After the three people finalized the design, they immediately started to separate their actions. Here, Croto let various processing plants begin to produce various parts, and at the same time provide reference indicators, while Tang En went back to make high-powered wind-powered magic engine, and Brian Then you need to record those processing methods and indicators here, and back to Ellington, there will be a batch of the same master machine.

The production and manufacture of tanks will certainly not be placed in Ellington. Tang En has already planned. The development of such heavy weapons must be placed in the military factory in the Blackstone Caves. Labour Force-The Dark Elves and Redstone Dwarfs are content with all they need to eat ...

After returning to the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute, Tang En immediately began to work on the development of the magic energy engine. He had already had specific ideas for a long time, and now it is just implemented, so there is no difficulty.

The original single-wind power magic engine was designed to simulate the engine of a jet aircraft. The two options for increasing power are nothing more than expanding the output of the magic array or increasing the number of magic arrays and air ducts.

Tang En eventually chose to increase the number of air ducts.

There are two reasons. One is that simply expanding the output of the magic array can easily cause the engine to overload, especially the boost heating chamber. If the pressure and temperature are too high, even the universal alloy may melt again; its Second, the magic array engraved on the substrate is not controlled by the magician himself after all, and lacks flexibility. Excessive input of magic power can easily cause the magic array to collapse.

By converting a single high-power magic engine into a complex structure, the above situation can be avoided, and there is a very unique point: fault tolerance.

Yes, during the operation of the tank, even if a certain magic array collapses, the remaining magic arrays do not affect each other. They can continue to operate and continue to provide power to the tank, effectively avoiding the danger of tank paralysis.

The four wind-powered magic engines connected side by side looked very inconspicuous, and also missed the beauty, but after Tang En tested, he was very satisfied with his design.

These four engines are both integrated and independent. They are usually powered by a high-level magic crystal, but if the magic channel fails, they will automatically draw the magic from their standard magic crystals and keep working normally. This conversion process Very smooth, there is almost no possibility of power disappearing.

The benefits of magic and alchemy are here. As long as you have ideas and strength, you can realize your own ideas. Unlike the technology on earth, even if you have ideas, you may have to verify many basic theories and determine the feasibility. It's possible.

After completing the high-power magic engine, Tang Enshun got the corresponding console again. This console will also be equipped with a fire control system in the later stage, and a dedicated gunner will be responsible for controlling the weapon module and the defense module.

"Well, it would be more convenient if you had a computer."

Tang En put away what he had done, and sighed with regret. Without an intelligent system, many things can't be achieved. It must be controlled by manpower, which is too much trouble.

The only thing that can solve this problem now is the alchemy technology that Angus has mastered.

In the long process of alchemy development, there is an artificial soul technology in the commonly used alchemy technology. It can already customize the instructions, which is equivalent to the most basic mechanical language set during computer development. Tang En felt this Things can be used as computers.

From the past to the present, if the rules customized by the alchemists have been passed down, Tang En believes that artificial souls may have already formed a set of effective instruction writing methods. Just add some of them on this basis The order he wants to achieve can achieve his purpose.

When thinking of this, Tang En complained, because Angus had disappeared for more than half a month and hadn't returned yet.

Although it was Tang En who used the cane of Illus to distract Angus's attention in order to protect the teleportation array technology, the guy said that he had checked the information and it was gone forever.

Could it be that this guy really has to fix the stuff and come back?

"Don! Is it time for us to calculate the account of the Broken Isles !? I almost lost this old life, and I don't want to give you any good!"

Angus didn't wait, but waited for Jean to regain alive after his recuperation.

After the guy recovered his health, he finally ran over to Tang En to settle the bill.
