Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 53 Conceptions of Weapon R&D

Verobu metal.

...

After asking some additional questions later, Su Lian left Professor Bunian's office with satisfaction.

He also clearly learned that in the alchemy department warehouse of the academy, there were experimentally refined Anteyi metal, Luoluoge metal, and Zijiao Black Gold. Obviously, some students or teachers had been curious and tried to refine them. For this magical world, refining such pure high-stre

ngth metals was not very difficult.

After Su Lian learned the refining method, he felt that as long as he had enough materials, he should be able to refine them himself.

However, he didn't want to go to so much trouble. It would be fine if he could exchange some from the warehouse.

As for the Verobu metal, this thing was really troublesome.

Bunian had only heard of it. The specific refining method was known only to the goblin race.

After all, there was a reason why the goblins called this thing the "useless ultimate iron block" because, apart from its extraordinary high hardness, high strength, and high quality, it had no other advantages in any other aspects.

When used for forging weapons, its compatibility with battle qi was extremely poor, and when used for developing magical items, its compatibility with magic power was also extremely poor.

In this world, it was an ultimate iron block, but it was useless.

It also required specialized means to manufacture, which was simply a waste of time, energy, and materials.

If there was a place where this kind of metal was needed, then the three conventional metals invented by the dwarves were completely sufficient for use.

...

"It seems that for the study and research in the Affa Empire, I have to add obtaining the refining method of Verobu metal from the neighboring goblin country."

Su Lian had already made this decision.

As for what he wanted to use this metal for, people in this world probably couldn't easily figure it out.

In this world with powerful magic and combat skill powers, pure physical power was often overlooked.

...

『Space-based Kinetic Energy Weapon System —— The Rods from God.』

...

In this world where all substances were composed of elements, it was impossible to directly develop atomic energy weapons because there were no such things as atoms and molecules in this world at all.

So, under the conditions of this world, what kind of super-standard weapon could be made? And could it reach the level of a nuclear weapon?

That's right, it was the space-based kinetic energy weapon system, the Rods from God, which was based on kinetic energy.

Although there were no atoms in this world, the basic physical rules were still the same. Then, physical power like kinetic energy, which was ignored in this world, could still be used.

Therefore, the Verobu metal was indispensable!

...

In the dormitory.

"However, before that, it's better to experiment with those three metals first. There's an uninhabited island about fifty kilometers northwest of the military port. I don't know if it can achieve the expected effect." Su Lian also made his plan.

He wasn't very sure himself.

The most powerful magic he had seen so far was only a seventh-level magic, and its power was a watered-down version.

Because there was no place to experiment, he couldn't determine whether the kinetic energy weapon had the ability to rival the powerful magic in this world.

"There's also the satellite system. Although the communication magic in this world has developed well due to the war, without exception, the magic power will weaken due to the distance problem, affecting the transmission.

"Since it's a space-based kinetic energy weapon, it would be too troublesome if a mage had to operate and release it up close every time. If it can't achieve intercontinental strikes, it naturally can't achieve strategic deterrence.

"Currently, what all countries can think of is to install 'relay magic devices', which are basically secretly placed in the ground to ensure that specific communication magic can be transmitted remotely. But this method is used for the satellite system..."

It was difficult.

Su Lian couldn't help but shake his head.

This world wasn't on a "planet". At least, in all the ancient books and records he had found, there was no such statement that going far east would lead back to the original place.

There was only the boundless sea, and the inexplicable elemental turbulence would turn back anything that delved too deep.

In other words, this world was like being in an extremely huge cage, and there was currently no way to leave.

Just like the planet in the original world, what could be done was only to hover in the space around the planet, and it was impossible to truly explore further.

Similarly.

There was no atmosphere above the high altitude. No matter how high one went, it was just the sky.

Whether it was a powerful mage or a warrior, flying upwards could only reach the "sky" that couldn't be reached. It was the same whether it was a hundred kilometers, a thousand kilometers, or ten thousand kilometers.

Moreover, due to the increasingly thin elements, the condensation of magic power and battle qi would be insufficient, and eventually, one could only be forced to stop and unable to go any higher.

According to legend.

Those who could break through the sky would reach the world of the gods.

Those who could reach the other side of the sea would also reach another world.

...

That is to say.

There were few elements at high altitudes, and it was very difficult to arrange a "satellite" network that hovered in the sky for a long time and was not easily discovered by others.

Perhaps...

"Do I have to find a way to get in touch with the elf race?" Su Lian felt a bit of a headache.

In this world, the elf race could fly naturally, and it wasn't by flapping those translucent wings, nor was it any special magic.

It was a very special ability to be able to hover in the air. Currently, with all kinds of magical means used by foreign races, this ability couldn't be analyzed. It was a unique ability that only the elf race could master.

But even if he got in touch with the elf race, without being able to obtain the ability and technology, could he only ask them to manufacture it?

Asking a foreign race for something like a satellite wasn't asking for trouble, was it?

Perhaps...

Su Lian quickly thought of a special existence.

An existence similar to him and Nalin, and at the same time, was despised by the elf race and also looked at with prejudice by other races —— the half-elves.

"My schedule is going to become more cumbersome again." Su Lian scratched his head and muttered to himself.

Sure enough, the road to unifying the world wasn't that easy to walk.

Looking back, perhaps the dream of developing a tall and handsome mecha and having some fun with it was the simplest.

What a pity.

After being reborn in such a world, was he really only willing to have that kind of dream from the past?

Obviously, the answer was no.

...

Development of the Space-based Kinetic Energy Weapon System:

Target countries and races: Metal (goblin race), Levitation (half-elf race), Communication (Affa Empire)

...

"I really hope to have someone who I can fully trust and who can stay by my side for a long time to discuss these things. It's really difficult to try to realize something in a different world with just basic ideas on my own." Su Lian couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that it wasn't as simple as imagined to be able to make things from the original world in a different world.

For example.

The idea of using lightning magic to attack water magic, electrolyzing hydrogen to produce a more powerful explosive fire magic and so on, didn't work at all!

In a world composed entirely of elements, there was no such thing as hydrogen and oxygen.

Perhaps the only thing in common was that the regular water bodies in this world could indeed conduct electricity.

However...

There was nothing in this world that didn't conduct electricity!

Once the lightning element was condensed, whether the entity was wood or rock, it would still spread and attack as it should.

The electric current wasn't the movement of free charges, so there was no need for a conductor. Instead, it was the actual spread of the lightning element!

In short:

Different worlds could have some connections, but they couldn't be the same.

...

"Forget it, let's first draw up the gun blueprints for Uncle Kam and the others.

"If this thing comes out first, even if it's copied by other countries, they will just optimize it in terms of increasing the range and power. These are all achievable things, and it's still within the controllable range if it's just equipped for ordinary soldiers.

"Let's keep the designs of large-scale weapons like rocket launchers for now. Just like the jet aircraft, we can't show all the advanced concepts before we become powerful ourselves."

Su Lian began to focus on drawing the blueprints.

The technology of the first-generation tanks and aircraft in this world had been stabilized by the military research institute, and they could basically be used in actual combat. We just need to wait for the final soldier training.

So, the development of firearms couldn't be left behind. At least, each soldier should be equipped with a portable pistol for close-range combat.

Giving priority to pistols had the advantages of low cost and being able to catch the enemy by surprise.

It was also likely to be regarded by other countries as a means similar to a hidden weapon, and it might even be ignored because its effective range couldn't rival that of a bow and arrow.

Later, when other countries imitate the pistol, release the blueprints of the rifle.

And when they imitate the rifle, release the blueprints of the automatic rifle and the machine gun.

All weapons must be developed starting from the lowest level, and the most powerful means must still be kept in our own hands!

Otherwise, it would be like making wedding clothes for other powerful empires.

...

Su Lian's academy life basically followed this rhythm.

During the day, he attended classes and studied normally. For the courses he could skip, he would study the knowledge related to weapons by himself. In his free time, he would try to get close to various types of talents who were his targets in places like the library and make preparations to win th

em over.

The commotion caused by the duel incident gradually subsided as Su Lian remained low-key later.

Instead, two other things became topics of discussion for many people.

The first one was the magic disaster incident. Why did the 17th Army Corps arrive at Anglai Town for support so quickly?

The second one was the reform incident of Prince Esha. It wasn't that no lord had ever distributed land to commoners before, but usually, it would also lead to a falling-out with local farmers, nobles, and other such people. But obviously, this time was different.

The news about the emergency transportation using magic-powered vehicles hadn't been released for ordinary people to know.

When Prince Esha gave the order to the railway station at that time, he specifically added: Stay in the station and prohibit all internal and external information flow.

Naturally, the army would also leave an order in Anglai Town to temporarily prohibit the spread of the news. So, the news would be blocked as much as possible for a while.

But it was only for a while. There would always be people who couldn't keep their mouths shut, or there might be other people seeing the magic-powered vehicles along the way.

The kingdom was still suppressing this news. Anyway, other countries couldn't be allowed to understand the terrifying transportation ability of magic-powered vehicles for war mobilization. Even if they did, the later the better, at least until they themselves fully understood and mastered it.

As for the second thing...

The heat of the discussion was unprecedentedly high!
