Chapter 549 Seeing the dangerous glow in the muzzle of the magic cannon, Dean Carmen was visibly distracted.
Chen Daolin didn't pay attention to the dean, who was in a stupor, but carefully turned off the tidal magic engine, stopped the energy infusion, and the light on the magic cannon gradually faded and dissipated.
Immediately, Chen Daolin took out a fist-sized crystal stone from under the base of the magic guide cannon.
Carmen's eyes lit up again.
"Yes, it's the multicolored stone."
Carmen's expression was visibly surprised: "Where did you get such a big piece of this thing?"
Chen Daolin shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.
Shall I tell you that I dug this thing out of the wall outside that small space world on the Great Snow Mountain?
"Basically, this multicolored stone is only used for temporary energy storage."
Chen Daolin pointed to the magic cannon: "This cannon is only used to show you, otherwise, if it is full of energy but does not fire, I am afraid that it will cause an explosion."
So I got a multicolored stone underneath, and if it wasn't fired, the energy would be stored in the multicolored stone.
After a pause, Chen Daolin continued to explain: "But if it is in a real combat state, the multicolored stone is not a necessary thing, and there is no need for a transit energy reserve container, after charging, the magic guide cannon can be launched directly." ” Carmen nodded, "You mean, if it's to push this magic cannon onto the battlefield" "You can launch it directly."
Chen Daolin smiled and smiled very proudly: "I have calculated, this tidal magic engine I made, under normal circumstances, a unit can be connected to twenty magic cannons. ” "Twenty doors" Carmen was shocked by the number.
It's not that there are no magic cannons in the magic academy.
But in the laboratory of the Academy of Magic, after years of research.
One problem that has not been overcome so far is the charging of the magic cannon.
You can't let every magic cannon be pushed onto the battlefield with a half-ton magic crystal The half-ton external battery is just a joke, is it left for people to be targeted?
"Do you have so many magic cannons" Carmen thought for a moment, "You're a good tidal magic engine.
The idea of the magic cannon is also very good, and if you don't have enough here, there are still a few experimental magic cannons in the academy's laboratory.
Well, two units were split a few years ago, and they can also be assembled. ” "Not for now."
Chen Daolin smiled: "It's just a magic cannon, I can get it myself." ” Carmen stared at Chen Daolin, didn't say a word for a long time, and then nodded slowly: "If you have this kind of sharp weapon, you will have a lot more confidence in dealing with the orcs by holding the Northwest Fortress."
Darling Chen, where did you get this magic cannon, how many do you have?"
"Well, it's definitely enough."
Chen Daolin smiled.
Can I tell you that these magic cannons were dug out from under the White Tower of the Imperial Palace?
It's better not to say it.
As for the quantity, taking into account the psychological capacity of Dean Carmen.
Chen Daolin just reported a conservative number.
"More than fifty."
Just this number has already plunged the Academy of Carmen into silence for a long time Carmen stared at Chen Daolin for a long time before exhaling: "Okay, you're really, it's true" It's been a long time, and I haven't seen Dean Carmen say the following words.
"I don't care where you got this stuff from, I won't ask if it's specific.
Anyway, you guy always gets something out of the ordinary.
It's just that with such a sharp weapon, I feel much more at ease. ” Dean Carmen couldn't wait to walk over and inspect the magic cannon up and down several times, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a copycat, it's a magic cannon with real value.
Dean Carmen even felt.
This magic cannon is better and more complete than the few in the laboratory of the Academy of Magic.
In particular, the magic patterns on the base of the magic cannon are very complete.
"This tidal magic engine.
Can it be carried to the city walls?"
"Yes, just build a few storage holes inside the city walls, or build a few protruding pedestals, well, like arrow towers."
Chen Daolin nodded.
"What about the cost," Carmen asked, one of the most critical questions.
"The tidal magic engine you see is a prototype, well, because it's something in the laboratory, the materials are more expensive, and this magic engine costs nearly 200,000 gold coins.
Well.
The main thing is that copper pipes are more expensive, and there are some magic gems.

Chen Daolin said very bluntly: "Money is not the biggest problem.
I can still afford to spend it.
However, " "But what" "You see, I built this magic engine by myself.
Every magic array, every magic symbol, and magic pattern carved on it was done by me by hand, and I carved it out one symbol at a time.
In terms of time, the time cost invested is too great.
That's all I've got so far. ” Speaking of this, Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "If you hadn't come to the northwest, I wouldn't have dared to take out this thing and put it into actual combat."
Because I am the only qualified magician here, McQueen and Sasha are too young, I need more powerful magicians, especially magicians with solid basic knowledge, and they must be skilled enough to study the magic array to reach a certain level.
At this point, Sasha is an alchemist, although she is a little younger and more frizzy, but she can barely give me a hand, and McQueen is a student of necromancy, so she can't help at all, so" "I'll help you solve the manpower matter" Carmen waved his hand and said in a firm and crisp tone: "I brought so many magicians this time, and it is really not good to be able to pick seven or eight out of more than sixty people to meet your requirements, I will personally help you make it together."
"Of course that's good.
You are the leading figure in the wizarding world of the Empire.
Chen Daolin smiled.
"One magic engine can be connected to twenty magic cannons, that is, if you have fifty magic cannons in your hand, you need at least three magic engines.
One unit costs 200,000 gold coins, that's 600,000 gold coins," Carmen frowned.
Although the Academy of Magic was originally a place of extreme money-burning, the amount of money invested in magic research and magic laboratories every year was also huge.
But 600,000 gold coins is still a huge number The entire magic academy, the entire cost of a year is more than one million gold coins.
The total annual financial income of the entire Roland Empire is only tens of millions of gold coins.
In other words.
The Roland Empire is willing to use about three percent of its financial revenue every year to support an academy.
In fact, it is really very generous. "600,000 is definitely not enough."
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "Although it is said that a magic engine can be connected to a maximum of twenty magic cannons, it is not such a simple calculation when it is actually put into actual combat. ” "Oh" Chen Daolin sighed, quickly walked to the table on the side, took out a pen and paper, wrote and drew on it.
"You see, this line is like the main fortress wall of the Northwest Fortress.
In order to achieve the best firing of the magic guide cannon and achieve the best coverage killing effect, if you only get three firing points on the city wall, it is definitely not enough for the artillery, and you must form an area coverage to achieve the best effect.
So.
The distribution of artillery points must be spread out, I have calculated, according to the length of the walls, and the estimated distribution of the enemy's attack points, we need to place at least six or eight firing points on the walls, well, preferably eight Eight distribution points, that is, eight of these magic engines are needed.
One engine-linked magic cannon can't be too many, keep it at five to ten best.
This maximizes the best power, and there are too many plug-ins.
Then more magic cannons must be placed farther away when they are arranged, and I can't find a better conductor at the moment, so there will be a loss of energy in the channeling process.
In other words, theoretically, the farther away the magic cannon is from the mana engine, the greater the loss of mana. ” Chen Daolin's words, Dean Carmen probably only understood five or six percent, but this did not affect her understanding of the meaning of Chen Daolin's words.
"Six engines, that is, one and a half million gold coins" "It's best to have eight distribution points in Batai Lane, which is more lethal."
Chen Daolin looked at Carmen's brows and frowned, and hurriedly smiled: "But the cost of this 200,000 gold coins is one."
It's the cost of the lab, when it's actually put into production.
Because it can achieve the help of more skilled magicians in production, and remove a lot of unnecessary failures and losses in experimental manufacturing.
I have calculated that if eight units are mass-produced, the cost of each unit can be compressed to about 150,000 gold coins. ” "Eight sets, 150,000 each" Carmen smiled bitterly: "This is not 1.2 million gold coins.
The cost of the Magic Academy for a year is only so much, and it will only be used up by several colleges together, and it is necessary to support the research costs that can sustain so many magic laboratories and research rooms. ” "One and a half million is a lot."
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly.
In fact, Chen Daolin himself was also a little struggling.
He's very rich though, yes.
But his money is not endless either.
At the beginning, in the underground treasure house of the castle of the Rollin family, he got a fortune left by Du Wei.
But even gold and silver always have a time to run out.
He engaged in construction and production in the northwest enclosure, to feed more than 10,000 people to eat, drink and lazar every day, to feed the army, and to invest in his own magical experiments and research Men eat and drink and ask for money It costs money to dress and build a house War horses ask for money Weapons and equipment cost money Especially with more than a thousand troops in the military group, this is a huge gold-swallowing beast With Chen Daolin's wealth, he is also a little frightened when he spends it.
Even now, although it can still be supported, it is really a little scary to continue to spend like this.
"If you really want to put it into actual combat, 1.2 million gold coins is just the cost of the magic engine."
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "There is still a cost to make this thing sound."
This coal is used to burn the furnace, to draw the living element, and I need to build a few windmills behind the city defense to draw the wind element, and there are other inputs.

I have calculated, because I have to consider the cost of blast furnace, coal fire, magic array, magic material loss, etc., so in addition to the cost of 1.2 million magic engines, each magic cannon, firing a cannon, the cost is more than 500 gold coins. ” One shot costs 500 gold coins and 50 magic cannons, and a salvo will cost 25,000 gold coins Where is this war, it's like throwing gold out and killing people "It's a lot better."
Although Carmen frowned, he also had to sigh: "This is already a huge breakthrough for you, according to the current research of the Academy of Magic, it will cost half a ton of magic crystals to fire a magic cannon."
The transduction of energy is too expensive. ” Compared with half a ton of magic crystals and five hundred gold coins, the latter is naturally cheaper.
Chen Daolin thought to himself, I am talking about fifty guns, but there are actually a total of 100 cannons.
A salvo of a hundred magic cannons is 50,000 gold coins 50,000 gold coins A small local aristocrat like Baron Pierre could not earn so much money in a few lifetimes.
As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.
That's all right.
Carmen closed her eyes and pondered, and after thinking for a long time, the dean suddenly walked over to the table and summoned a piece of parchment from her own storage ring.
I picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on it, and then I printed my ring on it with fire paint. solemnly handed over this piece of paper to Chen Daolin.
"This is the maximum financial support I can give you within my authority."
Carmen sighed: "Although I am the chief member of the committee of the Academy of Magic, after all, I am not the real dean, I am only a branch dean.
That's all I can have access to for the Academy's funds. ” Chen Daolin picked it up and took a look, saw a few lines of words on it, and saw the bottom line: "Call 400,000 gold coins," Chen Daolin raised his head and looked at Carmen.
"That's all there is to it, this year, I'm afraid all the research in the Hogwarts branch will have to stop, and the cafeteria of the house can only eat vegetable leaves," Carmen smiled bitterly. 400,000 gold coins, it seems that the number is already huge.
But actually calculated Based on the calculation of the hundred magic cannons owned by Chen Daolin, a salvo of one hundred cannons is 50,000 gold coins 400,000, which is enough for eight salvos.
Each magic cannon can only be fired eight times, and if you encounter a fierce battle situation, I am afraid that after a battle, 400,000 gold coins will be gone What a concept it is With a more straightforward contrast, it is obvious.
At least Chen Daolin, who was originally in the real world, knows a common sense, based on the calculation of modern artillery units in the real world, taking the US army as an example, a large-caliber artillery company is generally equipped with eight artillery pieces.
One base of ammunition is four hundred rounds The average ammunition for each gun is fifty rounds, and theoretically each gun can fire fifty shots But Chen Daolin is here, and 400,000 gold coins are enough for each cannon to hit eight times When eight shells meet the war, they run out in a minute.
"Playing with hot weapons in the era of cold weapons, the price is not ordinarily high" Chen Daolin silently shed tears in his heart: "If Lao Tzu wants to build Gundam, I'm afraid he will not be able to throw all the total income of the Roland Empire in a year."
