Regarding the World Tree's attitude, even the radical elves agreed to the sentence of death with a reprieve. Apart from the fact that they didn't have a handy tool, namely the God Slaying Magic Array, it was also because they wanted to see what the king's plans would be.
The Elf Kingdom made such a decision in the past because of its historical and environmental background. It was different from today. Therefore, the Elf Kingdom of today didn't necessarily have to follow the practices of a thousand years ago. Stupid things like ancestral rules that couldn't be changed probably only happened in some old-time autocratic dynasties on Earth. In the Land of Confusion, if you don't change and fall behind, you will be eliminated.
Therefore, Lin's material request was officially sent back to the royal capital through the communication magic array. The other side also quickly replied that the materials had been sent out. This was also thanks to the Elf Kingdom being in a state of wartime mobilization. A certain person's request hitched a ride, which was why the processing speed was so fast.
While waiting, a group of people who had nothing to do with the war focused on the Silver Bearded Dwarves. There were still many people who paid attention to the project of integrating the peace equipment and the M134 machine gun. The reason also included a certain person's previous excuse for wanting to buy the machine gun from the Elf Kingdom, which was to use the peace equipment as an excuse.
Because it was related to the core components of the peace equipment, under the leadership of Jermaine's female companion – Marit, Lin had no way to intervene in any research and design. The Silver Bearded Dwarves' attitude was that as long as a certain person provided the M134 machine gun, they didn't care about anything else. Even some suggestions or warnings were arrogantly ignored by them.
As an ancient race and a powerful race that once reigned over an era, the Silver Bearded Dwarves' pride would always be inadvertently revealed.
Even if Jermaine was eager to learn from a certain person, but as long as his clansmen expressed strong opposition, he would tactfully decline a certain person's help. In fact, he vaguely knew that if he did it himself, it might take longer, but the problem could still be solved. The pride in his bones was difficult to erase.
Just like this time, although Lin Huofen didn't intervene in the design, Jermaine quickly came up with a feasible plan. He removed the huge probe that was originally inserted into the World Tree's end, picked out the intertwined thin cable, and connected it to the energy center on the shoulder of the peace equipment.
The two connected looked very crude. There were all kinds of exposed wires, uncovered panels, and armor that had been temporarily removed for integration. Because the first step was to confirm that the two could be used together, Jermaine did not put too much thought into protecting the circuit and appearance. When he finished his preliminary homework, the cheers attracted the attention of the elves who were cleaning up the mess around the World Tree.
The silver-bearded dwarves' peaceful armed forces had abused the elves in all kinds of ways some time ago. Very few of the King's guards had not lost in the competition. Therefore, when this powerful armor made by the dwarves appeared on the stage with a weapon as ferocious as a king level magical beast, it once again attracted the attention of all the elves.
Lin stroked the kitten in his hand and looked at the dwarves, Zhang Luodong and Zhang Luoxi. They were mainly building some mounds for shooting targets.
During this period of time, he had been preparing for the research of the Tree of World. However, after a long period of preparation, one would still feel bored. When doing something, it was more motivating to do research while doing it. Therefore, most of the time, he had nothing to do, so he didn't think about developing any other research projects.
It just so happened that this fearless kitten had delivered itself to his door, so he also had the chance to experience the life of a cat. It made His Majesty cry out and close his eyes comfortably. However, even with his eyes closed, no matter how big or small the things that happened within the World Tree's range could escape his senses. When the dwarves appeared with that hateful weapon, the kitten also raised its head and cried out in protest.
Lin Huang did not care about the kitten's protest or any other emotions. He stroked the kitten because he had nothing to do, not because he wanted to be a slave. The life of a cat slave was not his own pursuit. Speaking of which, this was quite the concept of a domineering CEO looking for a little secretary. As long as he was done, he didn't care about her mood. There were not so many happy endings in real life.
Lahti did not protest much, but after seeing that Lin Huang did not respond, she stopped.
The first time, the integration test of the peaceful armed forces and the M134 multi-barreled machine gun was carried out by Jermaine himself. Under the guidance of the surveillance screen, he carried the machine gun and walked to the predetermined tactical position. The mark of the crosshair immediately appeared in the vision of the helmet, indicating where the bullet would land under his movements.
This was a program that integrated the peaceful armed forces' tactical program, and it was Jermaine's proudest work. The main reason why the dwarves did not use long-range weapons like bows and arrows was that most dwarves could not shoot accurately, and shooting required a lot of talent. But using the program to predict where the bullet would land, it greatly made up for the dwarves' shortcoming in shooting.
In order to adjust the relevant parameters, he spent a lot of effort. He even introduced data analysis of the changes in the environment, and after one or two calibrated shots, basically wherever the crosshair landed, the arrow would be shot there, and the accuracy was quite high.
Originally, it was only suitable for the shooting assistance program of the bow and crossbow, but after some adjustments, it could be very suitable for the machine gun. After all, this weapon was not easily affected by the environment, and the user only needed to consider the angle of the gun.
Jermaine personally tested it, but it did not mean that no one was monitoring it. With Freya in the lead, Riley and Marit stood behind the peaceful armed forces at a close distance, and did not maintain a safe distance at all.
Lin Huang shook his head. If there was an explosion, it would take away four silver-bearded dwarves in one go. However, considering their resistance to beatings, any kind of explosion was probably nothing to them.
After this period of adjustment, the dwarves had also figured out their own set of procedures. The various tests, records, and official experiments were done beforehand. The results were good or bad, and the degree of rigor was not much different from the engineers on Earth. If there was a real difference, it was that they were still not experienced enough, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions.
But this set of procedures was done, and it was enough to scare the elves who had not seen it before. In the midst of Marit's countdown, the M134 machine gun once again let out a roar that belonged to this world in the maze.
Logically speaking, a pure energy shot without the explosive sound of gunpowder would not produce any obvious noise. In sci-fi movies, the sound of a light gun shooting was purely the sound and light effects of the movie. Of course, it did not exclude the possibility that the designer had added a sound effect to the gun for some purpose.
Just like on Earth before transmigrating, digital cameras were already used, but why did they still simulate the shutter sound of a traditional camera when taking pictures? This was not for the sake of feelings, but purely to prevent crimes such as secret photography. Another example was electric scooters, which could obviously be completely silent, but in order to reduce traffic accidents, they had to deliberately make some noise.
But in the early stages of designing the magic gun, Marco Lin did not deliberately do these things. If he could wretchedly hide in the dark and secretly shoot, why would he stand in the open and have a gun duel with others? This was not in line with a certain someone's style.
It was a pity that magic was not as obedient as science, and there were always some accidents. Because the magic arrays that were too small and complex would interfere with each other, the pure energy bullets would have various attributes added to them after being accelerated by the magic arrays in the barrel of the gun, and they would be random.
This was an accident in the design of the magic gun, and considering that this would increase lethality, a certain someone did not actively modify it. Another accident was the production of sound, which was actually a byproduct of the former.
Because some of the additional attributes would be related to air and sound, these magic bullets would naturally make a special sound when they were shot. If it were other magic guns, because they were all single-shot shots, the number of shots would not be many, and this situation would not be obvious.
But the M134 had a firing rate of six to seven thousand shots per minute, and the sound brought by this kind of magic would be obvious and harsh. It sounded like an unknown monster from the abyss, using its hoarse voice to make unintelligible screams and roars.
Compared to the sound, what was more shocking was the dusty mound. The dwarves did not just casually dig up the soil and pile it up into a small hill, but they also went through the process of compacting, making the sturdiness of the mound far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. According to Lin's standards, the mound could be regarded as a city wall if it was only a step away from being baked into bricks.
But such a target, under the intensive attack of magic, seemed to be in danger. Soon enough, a sturdy and complete mound of earth was broken beyond repair. The silver-bearded dwarf's high-pitched cheers were mixed in, and then it was over … It only took about two minutes.
The peaceful armed forces lowered their heads, and the power mechanism of their whole body was locked because of the loss of energy supply. It looked like a certain someone's method of paralyzing the peaceful armed forces when they attacked the guardian of the Dwarf Iron City. Whether the dwarves had experienced it themselves or heard about it from others, they all glared at Lin angrily. Then they rushed forward and hurriedly untied the peaceful armed forces.
Sighing in his heart, Lin only wanted to say, "I'm innocent." But the results of the experiment in front of him, combined with the knowledge gained from the dwarves in the past, also indirectly explained several characteristics of the peaceful armed forces in the energy center.
First, the silver-bearded dwarf called the energy center of the peaceful armed forces a "small energy pool," which was somewhat reasonable. Because this thing would self-replenish to a limited extent after the power was consumed. It was the same situation as ordinary Magic Stones that would self-replenish under low power consumption.
The principle was still unknown. And it seemed that the degree of self-replenishment was much better than that of ordinary Magic Stones. At least it could cope with the various kinds of consumption in the primitive state of the peaceful armed forces and form a semi-permanent power mechanism. According to Jermaine's description, he had never seen the peaceful armed forces stop because of the exhaustion of energy.
Second, "it" still had an upper limit. It was not like the energy pool of the Magic Tower, which had unlimited energy.
Well, that was not quite right either. Maybe it was because the energy pool of the Magic Tower had not been tested to the limit by himself. Those who wrote programs would not dare to say that they had written programs if they had not played the computer to death.
Even someone who did not participate in the research could easily come to the above conclusion just by looking at it.
