The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 188 Weapon Evaluation
However, compared with Richard's excitement, the other wizards involved in the production of the support vehicle were not so optimistic.

"Richard, to be honest, I think this thing of yours is... a little too weird."

As Richard's senior sister, Anna had seen Richard's creative thinking, and her entire junior brother had achieved the freedom of the magic stone through his own wisdom during his apprenticeship.

But when Anna saw the spell support vehicle, she still found it too strange.

This thing was completely different from any alchemical weapons she had seen.

Generally speaking, alchemical weapons require great power and high reliability. If the various numerical values ​​of an alchemical weapon are digitized, then their attack and reliability will far exceed other numerical values.

But Richard, the magic support vehicle, is not the case.

The spells of the spell support vehicle were not powerful enough, only at level 350, and some extreme apprentices could even cast spells of this level. In terms of reliability, the magic stone cannon designed by Richard would melt the spellcasting parts after running at full capacity for 30 seconds, and it was simply a disposable consumable.

This is completely different from the way wizards usually design alchemical weapons.

Ellie, who was standing next to Anna, also agreed at this time: "It is indeed a bit strange. The power of this spell is a bit too weak."

Compared with Anna, Ellie, as a shapeshifting wizard, felt that the spells designed by Richard were too weak and did not conform to her cognition and aesthetics.

According to their spellcasting habits, energy wizards can be divided into two groups. One group emphasizes the precise control of magic power and the best spells. The other group is a bit extreme. They like to constantly increase the energy level of spells. In their opinion, a qualified energy spell must be powerful enough!

Ellie belongs to the latter. Obviously, Richard's spell is not strong enough.

Next to them, Chucks, who had heard that his fellow apprentice had prepared a big thing and came over to join in the fun, also expressed his opinion.

"Junior brother, I think it would be better if you replaced the steel platform on the lower part of your thing with a synthetic beast. The tracks you designed are not as flexible as the legs."

As he spoke, Chucks pulled out a palm-sized spider-shaped synthetic beast from his pocket, ready to show Richard the dexterity of flesh and blood so that his junior fellow apprentice could return to the right path of flesh and blood.

It would be a joke if people knew that Joelod was a master of synthesizing beasts and his apprentices were all learning alchemical machinery.

Richard looked at the wizards around him who were closest to him and couldn't help but sigh.

He said with some disbelief: "Don't you think this thing is a very useful weapon? Just imagine, if we have hundreds of these support vehicles, we can use hundreds of wizards on the front battlefield to complete the spell volley that can only be completed by thousands of wizards."

"But the quality of your thing is too poor." Anna said helplessly, "You are the only one who can melt the spellcasting parts in thirty seconds. If other wizards showed me this kind of thing, I would have knocked him out with my staff."

"No, war is meant to consume resources." Richard was a little mad. "When you fight a war, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources. How much are a few spellcasting parts worth? Isn't it worth using them to exchange for a spell volley that can be deployed at any time?
Besides, those spellcasting parts and magic parts can be recycled and reused."

But even after Richard explained it this way, several dark wizards around him said that this thing was very strange, which made Richard lose his temper at all.

"Oh, forget it. I can't explain it to you clearly. I'll invite the teacher over and you'll understand."

After that, Richard returned to the wizard tower, found a long-distance communication crystal ball, and sent a message to Joe Lord.

In the message, Richard told him that he had developed a strategic-grade alchemical weapon as the Chamber of Commerce's signature product.

After receiving the message, Qiao Luode directly threw the teaching task to Ye Lina and immediately rushed to the Tower of Truth.

Half a month later, a wizard with messy hair and beard came to Richard's wizard tower.

"Where's your stuff, Richard?"

Hearing the voice, Richard immediately walked out of the laboratory and came to the wizard.

"Teacher, why are you so fast?"

Qiao Luode tidied up his appearance and said anxiously, "You have come up with such a good thing, how dare I waste your time. Where is the thing? Let me see it quickly."

Richard took out his wand and knocked on the ground. Then, a tunnel entrance appeared in front of the two of them.

Richard took Joe Lord into the tunnel and soon came to an underground hall.

Richard would naturally not make the spell support vehicle in the yard. This underground hall is not very big. At most it is just the front and back yards of the wizard tower, plus the range of the wizard tower.

But such a hall is enough to accommodate a spell support vehicle.

Looking at the strange thing in front of him, Qiao Luode, who claimed to be knowledgeable, could not figure out its use. He could only guess that this thing should be some kind of magic stone cannon.

However, the magic stone cannon is enough.

For a small chamber of commerce like theirs, as long as they have a magic stone cannon and reach a contract with a white wizard army, they will have a constant source of magic stones.

Suddenly, Qiao Luode, who was imagining the future, changed his expression and suddenly remembered something.

"Richard, tell me the truth. Did you steal the design of the Lavoisier II magic stone cannon?"

Richard, who was standing by, was startled and asked in surprise, "Teacher, how did you know this? Even my senior sister didn't realize this."

"You! Oh! I knew it!"

Joe Lord looked at the magic stone cannon in front of him. In his eyes, this thing was no longer an endless gold mine, but a volcano that was about to erupt.

He should have thought of it earlier. Last time, the old man Vladimir said he had a good disciple, and he thought it was Anna.

But now it seems that Vladimir was talking about Richard!
"Alas! Stealing knowledge is a serious crime!" Joe Lord said with great sorrow, "Once your theft of knowledge is discovered, you will be hunted down by the White Wizard Army to the ends of the earth!"

However, Richard said nonchalantly, "Teacher, don't worry. The core components of the spell support vehicle, such as the casting components, magic guide components, and even the parallel components, are all designed by me. Only a small part of the parts of the Lavoisier II magic stone cannon are used. There are too many things to argue about in these parts."

There is only one optimal solution for some parts of the magic stone cannon, so it is reasonable for there to be some identical parts.

"Are you sure it's only a small part!?" Joe Lord looked at Richard suddenly, his eyes as ferocious as a dragon.

"Of course I am sure, teacher, don't you still trust me?"

"That's good." Qiao Luode's anger subsided and he felt relieved.

It seems that I, as a student, still have some sense of propriety.

Qiao Luode touched the support vehicle and said calmly: "I am a dark wizard. I don't know much about these alchemical weapons, but I have an acquaintance who will come to evaluate the value of your things."

"Acquaintance? Teacher, do you have friends who study alchemical machinery?" Richard joked.

Qiao Luode glared at Richard and said, "You know that guy too."

"Who?"

"Vladimir who taught you battlefield alchemy."

……

Two days later, Richard met Vladimir who came for the evaluation.

Vladimir had a pipe in the corner of his mouth:
"Boy, I heard you came up with something good."

Vladimir was still the same, wearing a white wizard robe and a rotten smell that indicated that his life was about to end. However, unlike on the battlefield, Vladimir did not look fierce outside the battlefield. He just looked like an old man with a strange temper.

"Master, please follow me."

Richard brought Vladimir to the desert where his living level was used to test spells. He then opened a space rift and expanded it, driving the spell support vehicle out of it.

"Well, this thing looks pretty flexible." Vladimir commented as he looked at the spell support vehicle.

The spell support vehicle is not big, with a total length of only four meters. Apart from the twelve lightweight magic stone cannons loaded on the back half, the spell support vehicle can even be used as a civilian truck.

"Flexibility is indeed one of its advantages," Richard said calmly.

Vladimir touched the spell support vehicle, took out a small alchemical puppet from his pocket, threw it into the desert and let it walk away by itself.

"This is a target. Show me the power and accuracy of your cannon."

Richard looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Um... Master, the function of this thing of mine is a little different."

"Not quite the same?" Vladimir frowned, "I remember you didn't go the route of alchemical machinery.

Boy, it is not a good thing to be too ambitious. Your knowledge level is not yet at the level of innovation."

Vladimir's evaluation was consistent with the identity of an old wizard who had studied alchemical machinery all his life, so Richard was not angry or annoyed.

He likes to speak with facts.

"Master, I am indeed not a wizard who specializes in alchemical machinery, but you can take a look at my work before making any comments."

Vladimir looked at Richard. He had a good impression of Richard. An alchemist with such solid basic skills as Richard would not be an impetuous person.

Maybe this time I was just blinded by inspiration.

"Hey, let me see." Vladimir said helplessly.

Now that I'm here, I might as well take a look.

Richard didn't say anything after hearing this, but just adjusted the angle of the magic stone cannon and calibrated the trajectory in the cockpit. Since it was just a test, Richard didn't fine-tune the launch coordinates, and directly set the target to three kilometers in front.

Then Richard pressed the launch button.

Vladimir stood in front of the support vehicle, wondering whether to teach Richard a lesson in a tactful or direct way.

As wizards get older, they always have more preference for good talents when they meet them.

Magic fluctuations were coming from the spell support vehicle, but Vladimir was a little absent-minded.

"Forget it, let's be more tactful. This kid is a promising talent. Don't discourage him from pursuing the path of alchemical machinery... hm?"

Boom boom boom...

The continuous sound of explosions reached Vladimir's ears, and he was stunned in the second when the explosion began, and the pipe at the corner of his mouth fell to the ground.

He actually saw a person using such a small alchemical weapon to create a concentrated spell attack for the White Wizard Legion.

How can this be?
