I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

After the last giant tragedy in the capital of Sera, they generally lack a favorable impression of the main continent, especially the Diocese of the Goddess of Light, which is always eager to compete with the other side.

Magician? Damn, I had a fight with him!

Mecha? Damn, I had a blast with him!

Well, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that these people have a strong enterprising spirit and a strong sense of national honor and disgrace. They are excellent soldiers and the future pillars of the country.

The downside is that the Seris Federation had better be able to compete with the other side on the military level, otherwise it will inevitably suffer a great loss in the future if they are swayed by public opinion.

Fortunately, she got the complete set of technical data of the machine, so the disadvantages were basically avoided.

However, at present, ordinary low-level magic power packs are still in the manual manufacturing stage. The unpacking has been basically completed, but there are still some technologies that have not been mastered for mass production.

The laboratory has begun to try to develop a heavy armored tracked vehicle, and wants to stuff the 152 rapid-fire gun used on ships into the vehicle body...

As a result, there are problems such as insufficient engine power output and heat dissipation difficulties that need to be overcome.

Then they turned to stuff the Miss 75 in. After all, the 75 field gun was mostly used for horizontal firing, and the new armored vehicle was positioned in this way, so it was just right.

But if you can just pull the 75 wheeled field gun around, why put it in a metal lump? Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart?

Then put three 75? The firepower is increased, but the weight is back to the original level~

So Seris still needs to be more tactful to the outside world~

The research on the body is even more complicated. There is basically no clue about the operating logic of the inscription magic road function, the coordination of the body's limbs transmission and other research involving the spiritual field.

Because the machine requires a professional inscription magician, and ordinary people cannot project their mental power, how can they comprehend the principles through observation?

So now I'm basically in a state where I can tinker with it by hand according to the drawings, but I have no idea what the principles are. If it's broken, it's broken, and I don't know where it's broken, so a lot of it has been scrapped.

The scrapped ones were not wasted. Medea came up with a new idea. Since they couldn't reverse-engineer the opponent's technology for the time being, but there happened to be ready-made defective products for target practice, why not research a cannon that targets the aircraft?

The machine has extremely fast movement speed and defense comparable to heavy armor, and also has a thick magic shield with certain deflection capabilities.

This means that you can only attack your opponent a few times, and he's not stupid, so how could he let you attack continuously to break his shield?

Therefore, they need a cannon that is powerful enough and can kill them with one blow. The current indirect trajectory howitzers of the troops are definitely not enough. It would be best if they had a very high initial velocity and a flat-fire cannon whose shells could fly smoothly within a certain distance.

The power can be improved by researching the shells, such as making the warhead of the shells conical like a bullet, increasing the initial velocity and the stability of the flight posture.

You can also engrave rifling similar to that of a gun barrel on the barrel, increase the barrel diameter to lengthen the gun body, and use a hydraulically supported base to maintain a stable horizontal shooting posture.

The final product was a 59-caliber 75mm gun, weighing 3.14 tons. It fired 75mm shells with an initial velocity of 950 meters per second. One hit could penetrate the experimental standard soldier body.

The initial velocity of the same 75mm Army field artillery shell is 590 meters.

The higher the chamber pressure, the farther the shot can be fired and the faster the initial velocity, but the casting process requirements for the gun barrel are also extremely high. At present, the manufacturing time is relatively long, and large-scale installation will take time.

However, within two days of the artillery department's gun rolling off the production line for testing, it was snatched away by the Army Armor Department, who said they wanted to install it on an armored chassis for trial.

The 75 field gun is not powerful enough, but this guy is powerful enough!

Moreover, the positioning of the new armored vehicle is immediately clear, that is, to use an armored vehicle with a magic shield to directly confront the enemy's mechanical forces!

The external armor can also be made thinner to reduce the weight of the vehicle body, as long as it can defend against machine gun bullets. The thickness of the armor is useless when facing a machine body, and it is difficult to resist at close range.

The firepower configuration of the final drawing is a 75㎜59-caliber rifled gun, two Maxim machine guns, a combat weight of 16 tons, an X-type double 4-stacked 8-cylinder engine, and a maximum speed of 40 km/h.

The maximum armor thickness is 50 mm, with periscope optical observation and aiming instruments, turret hydraulic drive and tank radio, gun elevation stabilizer, fixed-axle mechanical gearbox, differential steering mechanism and balanced suspension.

The X-type engine has many advantages, including smaller size and greater power. As long as you can solve the heat dissipation problem, you can stack cylinders infinitely. Because the size of the magic package is not small, the engine needs to be smaller to accommodate it.

The heat dissipation method proposed by Seris engineers for the X-type engine is to engrave an additional cooling magic path on the magic power pack used to provide a shield.

It is equipped with a liquid cooling circulation system to continuously cool the front engine unit when its shield is not activated.

After seeing the plan, Medea officially named it "Tank", with the model code S-1.

The next day at noon, Blatt was invited to get on a car and go to the Seris Palace to meet Queen Medea.

The closer the car got to the center of Serra, the more surprised Blatter was. The roads here were extremely wide and divided into several sections by green plants without interfering with each other.

The road is very flat and clean, with a lot of cars passing by, all driving along the road in an orderly manner.

What surprised Blatt even more was the buildings on both sides of the road. Many were over six stories high, and the hustle and bustle of the city was no less than that of the more developed cities in their kingdom.

As the traffic turned inward and the lane became a smaller two-lane area, a dense crowd of people surged here, and the speed of vehicles inevitably slowed down, giving Blatter a chance to observe more carefully.

The residents here have healthy complexions and are full of energy. They are dressed simply and appropriately. The buildings on both sides of the street are taller than those seen before, but it is impossible to tell how many floors they have from the outside.

One can only vaguely see the dazzling array of items inside through the glass door. It seems to be a place for buying and selling things. There are shops and restaurants on both sides of the road, and there are light sources of different colors and pictures of various shapes.

Looking through the window of a shop with a sign that said "Bakery", Bratt said without exaggeration that he had never seen the various shapes of bread displayed in the shop even in Surya King's capital!

He was already thinking about strolling down this street after meeting Her Majesty the Queen.

Chapter 112: Not convinced? Then hit me!

The car drove away from here and came to another street, which was similar to the previous street. It was also extremely prosperous and had a wide variety of goods.

"The two streets we passed are commercial pedestrian streets in the federal capital. There is a larger commercial center square in the other direction. It is more...well, larger in scale than this one."

Coy introduced himself to Blatt.

"It's hard to imagine that I'm actually in the subcontinent now... This place has completely overturned all my impressions of the subcontinent. It's no exaggeration to say that this place is more prosperous than most of our areas! It can even be compared with our capital!"

Blatter was not stingy with his praise. It's not like he had never seen prosperous and luxurious places before, and there were also places that were even more exaggerated than this, but the prosperous atmosphere here was something he had never seen in many countries.

However, as you get closer to the center, the flow of people begins to gradually decrease. This place is close to the government office area, and not many people can stay here.

Coy selectively introduced the surrounding buildings to Blatter one by one, such as the Federal Court, the Federal Parliament, the Five-pointed Star Ministry of Defense Building and the Cathedral of Holy Light.

When he saw the Cathedral of Holy Light, Bratt raised his eyebrows and became interested in the blood-red cross on the church. If he remembered correctly, the center of the emblem of the Church of Demetria was also a cross~

But he didn't ask too many questions. Perhaps he could learn more about many things in private.

Medea stood at the window and watched the convoy slowly drive into the Queen's Palace. Anna beside her whispered to her the news from the investigation.

"The United Kingdom of Surya was formerly the territory of the Saregas Empire. After the Saregas Empire split, they, the Kingdom of Puelentla, and the Kingdom of Ixia were formed."

"The three families clashed over the legitimacy of Saregas, and only signed a treaty five years ago to maintain superficial peace among the three parties. Their strength is close to the middle level in the main continent, and the government is controlled by several chambers of commerce."

After hearing this, Medea stroked his smooth chin and said, "The environment around them is very severe."

Anna smiled when she heard this and said, "You are too conservative. They are probably surrounded by powerful enemies, especially the Demeter Church, who are eyeing them covetously."

"Oh? Why?" Medea was a little curious.

"...The folk beliefs of the Surya Kingdom are very diverse, especially the leading chambers of commerce each have their own beliefs, but none of them believe in the Goddess of Light~"

Hearing what Anna said, Medea couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft... Is the Goddess of Light so unpopular in the Main Continent?"

"Not really."

Anna looked a little strange: "After investigation, I found that the Surya Kingdom has a strong merchant atmosphere... I guess their beliefs seem to be more purposeful~"

"Because the pantheons they believe in happen to correspond to the mainstream beliefs of the surrounding empire-level forces, and the families that control the kingdom happen to believe in one..."

Medea: "...I seem to know why the Church of Demeter dislikes them~"

Okay, okay, this is how you play with faith, right?

Bratt was arranged to stay in a small meeting room, but he was not uncomfortable with this because his visit to the Seris Federation was completely on a whim and did not represent the official intention.

So the Federation would naturally not receive him with a formal diplomatic ceremony.

In fact, it was enough to make Bratt flattered that Queen Seris would receive him on such an occasion.

It's not because of this country, but because of the ethnic group behind her.

Magic is the main continent's greatest reliance on confidence, but in front of the witch, their reliance is like a joke.

So no matter what he thought of the Seris Federation, he would not apply that impression to its ruler, Queen Media.

While waiting, he idly flipped through a copy of the Basic Declaration of the Federation on the small table next to his chair.

Blatter was very surprised by the slogans of the federal founding ideals written on it and the quotations spoken by Medea.

He felt that the ideas of this queen, whom he had never met, were extremely naive and ridiculous. The nobles and magicians were indeed a privileged class and they could persecute the untouchables however they wanted.

He also acknowledged what Medea said about social value and labor value, which were created by the lower-class untouchables and slaves, and they were the oppressors.

But the problem is that magicians and nobles rely on force to rule the people and oppress and exploit their interests. They believe that whoever has the bigger fist is right.

You don't agree? Then hit me!

I'll give it to you if you win! Wait...

Blatt subconsciously looked outside the venue. The golden afternoon sun shone into the small conference room through the window, making the surrounding furnishings sparkle.

This country...really won~

Bratt suddenly became interested. The founding and governing philosophy of the Seris Federation was completely contrary to the entire continent, and their rise was so rapid.

Then there will definitely be fierce frictions and conflicts with the main continent in the future. Can their Surya Kingdom get involved in this?

The geographical location of their United Kingdom is very awkward, and none of the neighbors around them are easy to deal with. Seriously speaking, they are even more dangerous than the Cyris Federation.

After all, their slogan is extremely outrageous, and there are either several countries between them, or at least a strait and demon-suppressing fog.

Crossing the sea to fight the Seris Federation may not necessarily lead to victory, as the long supply lines are a huge problem.

This means that the Seris Federation has the confidence to play its own game, and they don’t...if they take another step back, they will have to jump into the sea.

Moreover, through his cursory observations over the past two days, he discovered that this country did not prohibit magic, and its real target was the nobles, which meant that the other side could also get help from magicians.

Coupled with its unique steam system, its future growth potential is worth looking forward to.

After a short wait, Blatt finally saw the real owner of the name that had been frequently appearing on the screen wherever he looked.

Looking up, the woman standing in front of him...or girl, was completely different from the middle-aged woman he had imagined. Her beauty was beyond his expectations.

Those naive remarks I saw before seem to have become reasonable and pleasing to the eye...

Looking at Bratt's stunned eyes, Medea stood there with interest and let him observe.

Anna glared at him quietly and coughed hard: "Ahem..."

Bratt woke up instantly and bowed hurriedly, saying, "Ah! Sorry! Sorry, Your Majesty, I am so rude!"

Bratt leaned forward and his face was red from scratching.

This was the first time in his life that he had been so rude, and he had brought disgrace upon the Surya royal family. If his mother and father knew about this, he would be locked up for at least half a year and would become a laughing stock among the aristocracy.
