Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 75 Canglan SK
Chapter 75 - 75 Canglan SK
The next day.
On the second day after Sulian returned to the territory, he went directly to the military factory.
He needed to determine the progress of something. If it wasn't progressing fast enough, he might stay in the military factory for the next period of time.
That thing was...
His exclusive mecha!
...
"Little boss, this is the exterior design, the weapon system and power system you hope to install. The general performance data has been obtained through preliminary tests," Uncle Cam said as he took out a special crystal.
The data of the mecha was recorded in this special crystal. To activate the crystal, a specific sequence of magic elements was required, otherwise the crystal would self-destruct.
Haven't you managed to get the magic core?" Sulian had already activated the crystal.
"The Bahu Magic Core VII you want hasn't appeared in the underground auction house of the Cybo Empire even after a year of waiting. The imperial military controls it very strictly. As for the Kenrimi Empire, since it's a landlocked country, there's really no chance to smuggle one from there. We can only make do with the Bahu V from the Kosteno Military Dominion," Uncle Cam said, puffing on his pipe.
"Alright. It's not a second-hand one, is it?" Sulian asked.
"Don't worry. I inspected the magic core. I can even tell you how many times it has been test-fitted, let alone whether it's second-hand or not," Uncle Cam said confidently.
Sulian nodded slightly.
Although there was a difference in models, it wasn't that significant. Compared with the VII model, the V model lacked the "Explosive Ignition" ability. That is, it could intensify fire elements in a short time to obtain explosive body strength, speed, and fire element attack power!
It was equivalent to a trump card, a very practical ability.
But since they couldn't get it, there was nothing to be done. Coincidentally, without that ability, even professionals would find it difficult to determine which magic core it was without disassembling the knight mecha.
This model was sufficient to create a sixth-level mecha exclusive to him!
According to the mecha level classification of the Kingdom of Aivisu:
Level 1: Ajin
Level 2: Deva
Level 3: Terry
Level 4: Chetiri
Level 5: Biaqi
Level 6: Sersic
Level 7: Shem
Level 8: Woxing
Level 9: Jierichi
And in the entire Kingdom of Aivisu, the highest-level mechas were only the eighth-level Woxing class, with two of them.
These two mechas were built by exhausting the national strength a hundred years ago, and they were respectively the magic mecha and warrior mecha exclusive to the kingdom and the supreme commander.
According to the information provided by Ersha, these two mechas could continue to fight for about an hour when operating at full power. If there were sufficient and high-quality energy magic crystals prepared, the maximum overload time should be around twelve hours.
That is to say, the combat time after one charge is one to two hours. If it continues to fight for a long time, the mecha body will be damaged due to overload in about twelve hours.
To be honest, when it really comes to continuous combat for twelve hours, the mecha body itself should have already been scrapped.
...
"Can the weight of the mecha be reduced further?" Sulian asked.
Sulian saw the weight data of the mecha — 7.191 tons!
You know, Sulian's mecha was designed to be eleven meters in height!
A humanoid mecha of this height weighing only seven tons showed how much special alchemical metal had been used.
"You still want to reduce it? Do you know how big your designed mecha is? To reduce the weight of your mecha, we've been gathering special alchemical metals from the underground auction houses of the two major empires for a whole year!"
"If you really want to do it, quickly conquer those three countries in the south. There must be better materials in their national treasuries."

"As long as there are enough materials, I'll make it well for you, little boss, okay?"
Uncle Cam was a bit annoyed.
He also wanted to do it, but where were the materials?
Or if they couldn't buy the finished products, they could recruit more professor-level alchemists and let them refine the special metal for him. The problem was that there were none of these. They had already gathered all they could, and there was no other way, right?
"If it's already at the limit, then forget it. Is there any conflict between the qi energy adaptability and the magic core?" Sulian continued to ask.
"Generally, there's no problem. Your designed switching mode is very interesting. The magic element power output by the magic core is guided by you to be transformed into qi energy. You can definitely act as the converter yourself, but I'm afraid only you can withstand this," Uncle Cam said.
Sulian's knight mecha was a dual-driven magic and martial mecha.
When using only one magic element power core, the qi energy required by the warrior mecha needed another device to cooperate with the magic core.
If a special "element power core" with dual switching was customized, it would cost a lot, and it wasn't as stable as the traditional magic element power core that had been systematically designed.
His design didn't require this cumbersome process and could also save space and costs.
He directly used his own body to convert it!
Only his werewolf body, and with the ability to practice both magic and martial arts, could withstand this method.
...
"Alright. There's no problem with the basics. Let's take a look at the finished product. If there are any problems later, we can make the changes during the time I'm here," Sulian said after roughly looking through the information.
"Then over here," Uncle Cam had already brought a transport vehicle.
It was right on the vehicle.
"By the way, little boss, when are you going to set up a magic core manufacturing factory? Buying all the time isn't a good solution. Those profiteers know that we're doing this privately, and they've mixed in a lot of second-hand magic cores. I seriously suspect that they've been used for mining in
the mines." Uncle Cam said dissatisfiedly.
Low-level knight mechas could be used for mining in the mines, and it was indeed more practical than using human labor.
After getting their investment back, they would remove the nearly scrapped magic cores, mark them as "ninety-nine percent brand new, used by a noble lady" and sell them second-hand.
This kind of magic core could deceive a lot of foolish nobles out of their money.
"Sooner or later, I'll send those profiteers to be real miners!"
"However..."
"The production of magic cores requires a large number of alchemists at least at the fifth-level mage level, and they must master powerful enough inscription magic, mechanical principles, and related element theories. This is just the basic requirement for mass-producing military-standard magic core
s."
"Even if we have a lot of money now, we can't afford to recruit so many such mages."
"However, there is indeed a plan for a low-level magic core manufacturing factory. After I go to the Posio District with Grandpa to give a speech and finish negotiating the cooperation, we will secretly build it in the Black Dariu Mountains south of the Posio District," Sulian said roughly.
"Posio District?" Uncle Cam thought for a while and quickly understood.
In the Posio District, which borders the Kingdoms of Rankou and Sbai, if a low-level magic core could be directly manufactured in the mountains, then as long as enough steel was transported there by magic-powered vehicles, tanks and airplanes could be quickly mass-produced on the spot!
Regarding the magic core.
In order to maximize the condensation and storage of magic power, and to provide a stable output without becoming an element bomb that could explode at any time, the entire manufacturing process of this thing couldn't be carried out in a streamlined way. It had to be slowly made by mages using alche
my and inscription magic.
Even the lowest-level magic core, which was generally used for the first-level Ajin knight mecha, needed to be made by a high-level mage.
In short, if you want a magic core manufacturing factory?
Sure, first raise a group of mages!
And this group of mages must be proficient in alchemy, inscription magic, and have a certain degree of knowledge in mechanics and related element theories!
...
This was also the key reason why magic cores in this world hadn't been popularized for civilian use.
Would our country gather noble mages and painstakingly mass-produce magic cores for civilian use?
What? You said, could retired mages make some particularly low-level magic cores for civilian use?
Even if those mages were willing to do it, would the country dare to let them do it?
What if the magic cores they made circulated to some place and were strengthened and modified by people with ulterior motives? Wouldn't the country itself be threatened?
This thing was the core of a war weapon!
...
"What about the special alchemical metal smelting factory needed for the knight mecha?" Uncle Cam asked.
"Seize it," Sulian replied indifferently.
"Forget I asked," Uncle Cam said.
Obviously, in order to withstand magic shelling and reduce its own weight, the body metal of the knight mecha definitely needed special alchemical metal. The other materials inside, such as alchemical fibers, magic power transmission corridors or pipes, couldn't be replace
d by ordinary materials.
This was also the reason why tanks and airplanes were more practical, because they had stronger mobility at the same weight, and the risk of being hit was naturally lower. So even ordinary metal or mass-produced alchemical materials could be directly used for manufacturing.
But did Sulian and the others need them? They definitely did.
So how would they get them?
By conquering the Kingdoms of Yaminik, Rankou, and Sbai, their alchemical metal smelting factories would belong to them!
...
"Here we are," Uncle Cam said.
They came to the most core warehouse in the knight mecha manufacturing area. The warehouse in front of them was protected by special alchemical metal and an inscription magic array.
"Yo! The little boss is here to see the big treasure. Brothers, open the door and let the little boss take a look at his first Darita!" A young goblin whistled and said.
"Get lost. Don't speak foul language in front of the little boss. Be careful that the big boss will deduct your salary if you lead him astray!" Uncle Cam said.
"Cut!" The young goblin didn't care about this at all.
The warehouse door opened under the transmission of a special key and the magic energy sequence, and the light magic props inside the warehouse were also turned on immediately.
What came into view was a knight mecha with a slender body as high as eleven meters!
With an overall dark blue tone, it carried two special magic-breaking long swords of different lengths on its back. Magic-gathering crystals for releasing magic were inlaid on the left arm and the left chest position. The cockpit was designed on the back, and there was a special magic-gathering crys
tal in the palm of the left arm, which was used to release the magic shield.
In the center of the chest, there were two alchemical metal plates painted with the patterns of Prince Ersha and the Kingdom of Aivisu. It was unknown what was inside after they were opened.
At the waist position, there was also a secondary weapon storage.
The design as a whole looked angular, but in fact, the protruding parts on the front mostly used a streamlined shape to achieve the minimum reduction of air resistance.
This was Sulian's first knight mecha!
A sixth-level Sersic-class knight mecha, with the code name — Canglan SK!
Cang meant the color of the knight mecha; Lan referred to the magic core of the Black Lan Magic Tiger used in the manufacturing; SK was the adolescent abbreviation of Super King.
...
"This is my first mecha," Sulian said blankly as he stepped forward and gently touched the body of Canglan SK.
He felt the charm of the mecha!
