Chapter 147 In the end, you still have to line up and shoot?
The test went to the next round, this time with a three-level magic crossbow.

The magic crossbow does not require rigorous training, as long as it has extraordinary power, it can be used. Like the firearms in the earth world, it is the most widely used long-range magic weapon for Finn.

The magic crossbow used for testing was left over from the fight against undead natural disasters. Li Qi also took a magic crossbow from Rowena, but it was a level five high-end weapon, so there was no comparison.

The tester was changed, a boy who was only eight years old, not as tall as an ordinary carriage wheel.

Daniel Conrad, the surviving orphan of Conrad City.After Li Qi took over these orphans, he changed their surnames to Conrad, hoping that they would be united and friendly, and treat each other as brothers and sisters.

Daniel is the smartest and most enlightened among the orphans.During the life meeting in the small temple in the earl's territory, he often listened to the corner, and unexpectedly grew into a trainee, able to use the divine light technique.

During the undead disaster, he also rescued the wounded with some older orphans, assisted in the battle, and even found time to shoot a few shots with the magic crossbow.Of course, Stan slapped him on the butt in the end and drove him back to the castle.

He is no stranger to the weapon in his hand...

After Li Qi gave the order, Daniel's hand holding the handle of the crossbow lighted up with a faint white light, and a light blue light shot out, sparks splashed on the iron armor in the distance, and the cliff more than ten meters behind the stake burst out almost simultaneously. A cloud of smoke and dust.

You don't need to look carefully, the ordinary iron armor is as thin as a layer of rice paper in front of the magic crossbow.

The next shot was an iron plate, strictly speaking, an iron ingot, with a thickness of ten centimeters, exceeding the thickness of the frontal armor of most World War II tanks.Of course, it is not the armor steel of the earth world, nor has it undergone surface hardening treatment, so the actual protection ability is much weaker.

Daniel shot another arrow, and the crossbow bolt was nailed into the iron plate, revealing half of the arrow body.

Li Qi took the magic crossbow and used a powerful divine light technique.The white light flashed so that everyone at the scene closed their eyes subconsciously. When they opened their eyes, the crossbow arrows pierced through the iron plate and stuck on the mountain wall trembling violently.

This is the advantage of magical weapons. The same weapon, in the hands of people with different levels of extraordinary power, exerts different powers.

But from the point of view of the magic industry and large-scale war, this is another big trouble.Let Li Qi's thinking and planning of the magic industry, as well as the conception of the magic war, is like facing a high-dimensional math problem, there are too many variables, it is difficult to sort out the clues.

So let's take the lower limit as the standard...

Li Qi thought so, and asked Daniel to conduct the next round of testing.

The target was full-resistant leather armor again, this time the leather armor became like ordinary leather armor, pierced by a crossbow arrow, only a small half of the arrow feathers were exposed.If it was a human being, it would at least be a serious injury.

It seems that Finn's extraordinary strength roughly follows the law of attacking the strong and defending the weak, and the spear can defeat the shield.The same level of protection can only offset the extraordinary power of the same level of attack, but cannot offset the natural power of the attack.

Later, Wilson put on the third-level full-resistant Mithril armor he got from Rowena, and used the Thorn Shield to block the magic crossbow.

The crossbow arrows shot by Daniel made violent ripples on the light shield, and there was an obvious crystallized area at the point of impact of the crossbow arrows.But it was still blocked, and Wilson just shook his body.

"This is much more powerful." Wilson finally felt a little bit at this time: "Why don't you try the Earl?"

Li Qi rolled his eyes at him: "The crossbow arrows only cost ten gold bushels, but the mithril armor on your body costs hundreds of gold bushels, what a pity to shoot through it."

Wilson yelled: "Chief Cardinal, my body is worth money!"

Judging from the situation of shooting the iron plate just now, Li Qi is very confident that he can shoot through Wilson's light shield and his armor together.

Using gentle heart thorns on Daniel, coupled with the blessing technique, restored his state to the original state, and the test entered a new link.

"This is to test how many shots you can shoot with the extraordinary strength of the apprentice level, not to test the limit of your ability. If you feel that you can't hold it, stop immediately, otherwise it will affect the test result."

Li Qi said to Daniel, Daniel thought about it seriously, and nodded solemnly.

The crossbow arrows splashed clouds of smoke and dust on the mountain wall, including Li Qi, everyone present grinned, it was heartache.

The crossbow arrows of the magic crossbow can no longer be used after being fired, and each puff of smoke means that more than a dozen golden bushes are in vain. For Epsilon, who is in a tight financial situation, this is simply a crime.

When No.12 was shot, Daniel was sweating on his forehead and trembling slightly. He stopped shooting and looked at Li Qi with some confusion.

It's not his limit, but he has to stop.

Not only is the divine power exhausted, but the magic power shock generated when the magic weapon is activated will also have an impact on the soul.This makes magic weapons not free to use like weapons in the earth world, and the durability is only limited by the ammunition and the heat dissipation of the weapon itself.

After this round of testing, Li Qi has learned more about weapons like the Magic Crossbow, and can build a rough model for analysis.

Based on the third-level magic crossbow, it can be used as long as it has extraordinary strength above the trainee level.It can be fired ten times in a row, unable to harm a prepared third-level professional, but it can pose a considerable threat.

The effective range of the magic crossbow is within the visual range of the naked eye, and it is another matter if it is not accurate. In short, it can shoot farther than the rifles during World War I.

In terms of power, according to the different enchantments of the crossbow bolts used, it has various functions such as armor-piercing, demon-breaking, bursting, freezing, poisonous, holy, and evil.

Except that it must be used by an extraordinary person, and its durability is limited by the extraordinary power, it is simply a perfect individual weapon.

A small group of Finn's professionals brought enough supplies to ensure the continuity of the battle and crossbow bolts with various functions, enough to strengthen the armored cluster of the earth world.

Wait, there's one more big problem...

Seeing Wilson and the others pick up the used crossbow bolts with regretful expressions on their faces, Li Qixin said that it was just too expensive.

Such a magic crossbow costs four hundred gold bushels, which is still the wholesale price given by Xiao Longnu.

Now that the magician wants to intervene in Finn's situation, the price should plummet, but it will never be less than two hundred gold bushels.And two hundred gold bushels are enough to feed a hundred poor people for a year.

A crossbow is still a small head, but a crossbow arrow is a big head.An ordinary magic-breaking crossbow costs at least ten gold bushels, and a specially enchanted crossbow is not capped.

Before Teresia asked Aurora to raise military expenses, 2000 million gold bushes seemed scary. Even at the current price, an army of 600 professionals would cost [-] million gold bushes for the Light Magic Crossbow.The rest of the money is used to buy crossbows, and each person can only get forty, which cannot support a war at all.

Finn's current war has not yet developed to focus on long-range attacks, which is probably the main reason.Most people, most of the time, are still hand-to-hand combat.

If it can reduce the power consumption of using the magic crossbow, and reduce the cost of the crossbow and crossbow bolts, then it is an ideal magic weapon.

Li Qi excitedly found Artur who was busy on the lower floor of the teleportation hall: "Artur, take a rest and come with me for a brainstorm."

After taking Arthur to the office in the town, Li Qi talked to him about the transformation of the magic crossbow.

"Less power consumption? Lower cost?"

Artur is no stranger to magic crossbows, but this idea is very strange.

"For this kind of divine power magic crossbow, the divine light technique is already the divine technique that consumes the least amount of divine power. To further reduce the consumption, you have to create a new divine technique. There is nothing I can do about it."

He solved the first problem first, this is easy to handle, let You Zan to tinker with the principle, and then Fei Ni and the others will develop it.

"As for the cost, it can't be lowered anyway."

The second question is that Artur is bound by the existing framework.

"The magic crossbow is a magical modification made on the basis of the ordinary crossbow. The body and strings of the crossbow have to withstand the impact of the magic field, and the structure of the magic circle inside must be very delicate. The crossbow arrows must be perfectly integrated with the magic circle to ensure that you can see it right away." It can be shot, and can trigger various enchantments."

All in all, Artur believes that the current structure of the magic crossbow determines that the cost must be so high.Replace the parts of the crossbow with ordinary materials, and it will fall apart after a few shots. Using ordinary crossbow arrows does not have that much power and sufficient flexibility.

Li Qi put the dwarf musket on the coffee table, and he picked it up anyway: "What if we use the same principle to transform this kind of thing?"

Artur was stunned: "Dwarven musket? Such a primitive thing?"

Even compared with ordinary crossbows, dwarf muskets are primitive enough.

"You don't need to shoot that far. It's enough to have enough lethality within four to five hundred meters. There is at least a semi-automatic mechanism, and you can shoot continuously when you pull the trigger. Use a projectile with a very simple shape, and you don't need to activate the enchantment. If necessary, you can use a special Projectiles of different materials fulfill different functions.”

Li Qi took out the heart language atlas, and showed Artur the blueprints one by one, and he had a rough idea on the way.

The concept of magic firearms is not a novelty in the earth world. Except for replacing gunpowder with a magic circle, other things, whether it is rifling or receiver, can be changed slightly in the structure of the firearms in the earth world.

The part of the magic circle is the problem that Artur wants to solve.

Artur looked at these unfamiliar structural diagrams in the heart language atlas, with the corners of his mouth crooked, looking very contemptuous: "It looks like a dwarf."

He still dutifully used his brains: "Most of the magic circles of the magic crossbow are wind arrow circles. The summoned wind arrows are integrated into the crossbow arrows, and the function of inspiring enchantment is added. It is true that there is no need for such a structure as a crossbow."

"Carve the mithril magic circle directly in the copper tube, and remove the complicated settings corresponding to the enchantment. This can greatly reduce the complexity of the magic circle, and there is no need to use expensive crossbow arrows..."

"Let me see……"

Artur took the Xinyu Atlas from Li Qi and drew directly on it.

"If you change to this structure, the magic crossbow... no, the cost of the magic gun can be reduced to twenty or thirty gold bushels, and the projectiles are almost negligible. Only in this way, the range and damage are better than the magic crossbow. Much lower."

He was very puzzled: "What's the use of the things made in this way? Isn't the weapon of the supernatural being as sophisticated as possible?"

It's normal for Artur to think this way. The magic guide workshop is a business of the extraordinary class, and the principle for extraordinary people to choose weapons is performance first, price second.

Li Qi changed the structure, lowered the range, and cut the damage in this way, just to make the weapon cheaper for "customers", not to mention Artur, I am afraid that few of the magic craftsmen in Finn have seen it.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why the magic crossbow is popular in Fein, but there are no magic guns.

Li Qi said with a smile: "This kind of weapon is cheap and easy to use. If a trainee holds it in his hand, it can even pose a threat to the peak powerhouse. What do you think will happen?"

Artur shook his head in a daze, and said tentatively, "Let a powerful Transcendent face a weak Transcendent, but also have the necessary respect?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "Isn't it turning more ordinary people into superhumans?"

When Li Qi sent the concept that already had a prototype to the goddess, the goddess was silent for a moment, and then said: "In the end, you still have to line up and shoot?"
