Chapter 679

The design process of the tank was very smooth. Donne provided the basic structural design drawing, and then croto provided reasonable engineering suggestions for modification. Brian evaluated the overall cost and quantities from the perspective of the chief engineer... Well, everyone should see that Brian's skill is obviously a little crooked.

As a dwarf in the name of forging, he is now about to become an engineer, which is really a mixed development.

"Here, in addition to the main gun you mentioned, I think it is also necessary to add some lethality in front of the tank."

Croto pointed to the front of the tank and said, "instead of making armor plates, it's better to add the winch of the combine harvester. Compared with the direct impact force, the serrated winch looks more deterrent."

Donne thought about the feasibility, then nodded and said, "yes."

Although the power of the main gun is huge, if the number of chaotic creatures is too large to break through the defense line and come to close range, it is obviously not enough to rely on the impact force for rolling. The winch wheel with blessing can efficiently crush those guys, and then the heavy crawler can further crush them, and the killing efficiency will be greatly increased.

"Also, although the power of the large caliber machine gun is very powerful, the number of bullets is also a problem. The internal inventory of the tank is limited. Considering the defensive weapons after the bullets are empty, what do you think of installing a large wheel? Installing four swords to rotate can completely isolate the enemy's attack."

Donne shook his head decisively after thinking for a while: "it's unnecessary. It's a burden. The problem of bullet capacity can be solved by using space equipment. I'm not afraid at all."

Fucking tyrant!

What Donne said made so much sense that cloto was speechless.

Because apart from him, I'm afraid no one can come up with so many space equipment to arm a mass-produced weapon - and only for ammunition supply.

"All right."

Croto shrugged and said, "what about dwarf shrinking rays or freezing rays? Are you interested?"

Donne was overjoyed: "of course! But can you produce those two weapons?"

Dwarf shrink ray and dwarf Freeze Ray are powerful. They can play an unexpected role when used in the right place.

"Can't..."

"Then say an egg!"

These two weapons are the legacy technology of ancient times. Now the dwarf has not cracked the technical principle. He can only splice a small amount of finished products through the parts excavated from the ruins. It must not be enough to be used on the chariot.

In the end, Donne had to give up the tempting idea.

"If the weight of the armored vehicle is too heavy, will it affect the mobility? If the pumice is added, the weight of the armored vehicle can be greatly reduced."

"Its own weight is also a kind of weapon, but you're right. I'm thinking about whether I can control the effect of pumice stone."

Of course, Donne knows the effect of pumice stone. If you reduce the weight of armored vehicles, won't the speed fly? However, the weight of the tank itself is also an important indicator of its lethality and defense. The heavier the tank is, the less likely it is to be overturned by the enemy. It also has stronger resistance to frontal impact. If it is too light, it is likely that the charge of a large chaotic creature can knock the tank out.

Croto frowned. "Controllable? Can you do it?"

"It's hard at the moment."

Donne shook his head. The composition of the pumice stone is very complex. They have not yet studied which composition in the pumice stone can reduce the weight of the object.

In the magic Energy Engineering Research Institute, there is now a special research room to study magic elimination stone and floating stone. Those wild mages grind two special stones into dust, and then analyze the components. Donne's goal is to eliminate the useless parts, only extract the effective components, and then find ways to purify and polymerize them to create real anti gravity materials and anti magic materials.

Unfortunately, the progress of that research laboratory was quite slow. It was not until there were engineering master glasses that the progress was slightly accelerated.

To achieve the controllability of the pumice stone, the key point is how to effectively isolate the effect of the pumice stone. Donne asked them to try all kinds of metals, minerals, plants and even spells. He believed that there must be something that can block the effect of the pumice stone, just as lead can block radiation.

"Said is equal to did not say......"

Donne stalled: "but there's at least one direction to go."

The three chatted while refining the tank design. The final designed tank has been very different from the tanks on earth.

The main turret of the tank has not changed, and the machine gun on it has not changed. What has changed is the observation method: Donne has cancelled the observation window. In prandal without computer and radar, the best choice is still the eye of arcane.

The anti riot armor in front of the tank has been modified into a winch full of saw blades. The winch will rotate with the progress of the tank and grind the enemies and plants in the way into pieces.

The track hasn't changed, but heavy armor plates are added on the side to protect the track.

Behind the tank is a row of adjustable jet ports hidden under the armor plate. The wind power magic engine designed by Donne for the tank has four jet holes. The powerful engine provides great power for the tank. The adjustable jet ports can be adjusted up and down, which can reduce or increase the pressure of the tank on the ground according to the needs of the situation.

After the three people finalized the design drawings, they immediately began to act separately. Croto asked each processing plant to start making various parts and provide reference indicators at the same time. Donne went back to make a high-power wind power magic engine, while Brian needed to record those processing methods and indicators here and go back to Ellington to produce a batch of the same master machines.

The production and manufacturing of tanks will certainly not be in Ellington. Donne has already planned. The development of this heavy weapon must be placed in the military factory in Blackstone cave. It is not eye-catching, and there are a large number of hard-working and cheap labor - the dark elves and red stone dwarfs are satisfied as long as they have food to eat

After returning to the magic Energy Engineering Research Institute, Donne immediately began to work on the development of the great credit magic energy engine. He had specific ideas for a long time, and now he just implemented them, so there is no difficulty.

The original single wind power magic engine was designed to simulate the engine of jet aircraft. The two options to increase power are to expand the output power of magic array or increase the number of magic array and air duct.

Donne finally chose to increase the number of air ducts.

There are two reasons. First, simply expanding the output power of the magic array can easily lead to excessive load on the engine, especially in the booster heating chamber. If the pressure and temperature are too high, even the universal alloy may melt again; Second, the magic array engraved on the substrate is not controlled by the magician himself after all. It lacks flexibility. Too much magic input is easy to cause the collapse of the magic array.

If a single high-power magic engine is converted to a complex structure, the above situation can be avoided, and there is a very unique feature: fault tolerance.

Yes, during the operation of the tank, even if a magic array collapses, the remaining magic arrays do not affect each other. They can continue to operate and continue to provide power support for the tank, effectively avoiding the danger of tank paralysis.

Four side-by-side connected wind power magic engines look very insignificant and have nothing to do with beauty, but Donne is very satisfied with his design after testing.

These four engines are both integral and independent. They usually provide power through an advanced magic crystal, but if the magic channel fails, they will absorb the magic in their own standard magic crystal and keep working normally. This conversion process is very smooth and there is basically no possibility of power loss.

The advantage of magic and alchemy lies here. As long as you have ideas and strength, you may realize your ideas. Unlike science and technology on earth, even if you have ideas, you may have to verify many basic theories and determine the feasibility.

After finishing the high-power magic engine, Donne easily got out the corresponding console. Later, the console will be equipped with a fire control system, and a special gunner will be responsible for controlling the weapon module and defense module.

"Alas, it would be much more convenient if there were a computer."

Donne put away the good things and smashed his mouth with regret. Without an intelligent system, many things can't be realized. It's too troublesome to control them manually.

Now the only way to solve this problem is probably Angus's Alchemy technology.

In the long process of alchemy development, one of the commonly used alchemy puppet technologies is the technology of artificial soul, which can realize the customization of instructions, which is equivalent to the most basic mechanical language set during computer development. Don feels that this thing can be used as a computer.

From the past to the present, if the rules customized by those alchemists have been inherited, don believes that the artificial soul may have formed a set of effective instruction writing methods. As long as he adds some commands he wants to achieve on this basis, he can achieve his goal.

At the thought of this, Donne was full of complaints, because Angus had disappeared for more than half a month and had not come back.

Although Donne diverted Angus' attention with Ilus's royal staff in order to protect the transmission array technology, the guy said he went to check the information, and the result was gone forever.

Is this guy really going to fix that thing and come back?

"Donne! Should we calculate the accounts of the broken islands?! I almost lost my life. I don't want you to give me some benefits!"

Angus didn't wait, but he waited for Jean, who was alive again after recuperation.

After the guy recovered, he finally came to settle with Donne.
