The first modification of the fire seed was completed, but things were not over yet. Lin had to check the results of the modification and make sure there were no unexpected mistakes.
Just as he was about to speak, Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Friend, what should we call you now? It's not appropriate to call you an ironman. "
The seven-meter-tall iron giant lowered his head and looked straight at the foreign mage. The red light flashing in his eyes showed that he was getting used to his new body and exploring the new functions. He did not avoid Lin's question and said, "Indeed, the name ironman no longer suits me. Just call me by my name, Olean. "
Hearing this, not only were the elemental creatures of the West Wind Valley surprised, even Lin was a little surprised.
According to his understanding of the elemental creatures from his time in the Elemental Plane of Earth, most elemental creatures did not have real names. The name given to them was just a nickname based on their individual characteristics. There were surprisingly many nicknames like the furry rabbit, the first, second, and third person living in the valley.
If they clearly stated that they had a 'name,' then they would be on a completely different level from the average elemental creature. Those with real names would be remembered in the long history of the Spirit of the Earth Mother. Unless they planned to commit suicide, no matter how many times their bodies died, they could still be revived from their deep slumber.
And with a name, they would also have a more distinct personality. It was just not known if this was really related to 'real names,' or if it was just a difference in self-perception among elemental creatures. Just like humans, there was a huge difference between being confident and not being confident.
In any case, the ironman who had been modified by the fire seed had the name 'Olean.' This was a big deal for the elemental creatures of the West Wind Valley. They had never thought that a companion with a real name would appear beside them in the West Wind Valley.
An elemental creature hurriedly asked, "Olean, did you get the name Olean from Mother? Did she really acknowledge you? "
"No, my friend. I don't think this is a gift from Mother. "The tall iron giant shook his head and said.
"But you have a name."
"Yes, I have a name. And I know that I still need more companions to maintain this gift. "Olean clearly expressed his feelings that originated from the elven core.
If all this was brought about by the fire seed … All the elemental creatures turned their heads and looked at the mage holding the fire seed with fiery eyes.
He reached out his other hand and stopped the other elemental creatures who wanted to speak. Lin said, "Wait, before you do anything, I have some questions to ask Olean. Is that okay? "
"Go ahead, my dear friend.. I'll answer any question and do anything for you, 'O' Brien said happily.
For an elemental creature with a true name, this iron man's promise was quite heavy. However, Lin Li didn't want to push his luck. He was just curious about the first elemental creature modified by the tinder and wanted to confirm that there were no mistakes in the modifications. At the very least, he had to make sure that the tinder's modification would not bring about any uncontrollable adverse effects.
Using the excuse that he wanted to test this new body and let him get used to it as soon as possible, the tall iron giant cooperated without reservation.
"Hmm, the first question, is there anything else in your head?" Lin pointed at his own head after he finished his question. Of course, what he wanted to ask here was not the brain tumor or hematoma, but the knowledge about the new body.
Of course, Olean did not misunderstand. He himself was also very curious about the additional things that he had learned. It was just that he had just been modified and had not had time to calm down and study this new knowledge. Hearing the mage's question, he replied, "Yes, there are indeed many new things."
"Then is there anything about the weapons on your body?" Lin asked a little anxiously.
The only weapons that Lin could recognize from the mechanized Olean were the two long barrels on his back. One of them was like a tuning fork. Two pieces of metal facing each other like blades would create a magnetic field that would disturb each other and then generate a plasma flow that would be pushed out. This was a plasma cannon, a pure energy weapon.
The other cannon barrel was squarish, and the muzzle was slanted. It fired a solid artillery shell, a standard mass weapon. But it was not propelled by gunpowder, but by a powerful magnetic field. Its official name was the electromagnetic rail gun.
In order to introduce mechanical knowledge to the Earth Elemental Plane, Lin had never thought of developing firearms based on gunpowder. Instead, he directly considered railguns and plasma cannons.
The reason was simple. Gunpowder weapons required a different technology tree, and the initial speed of a bullet was only between 600 and 1,000 meters per second, with the highest speed not exceeding 2,000 meters per second. However, the railgun could easily reach an initial speed of three thousand meters per second, and it could even be increased. And the range of railguns was not inferior to gunpowder weapons at all, and the accuracy between the two was on a different level.
After leaving the muzzle, bullets or shells of gunpowder weapons would fly in a unique trajectory instead of a straight line. This was also why snipers needed to estimate the target's distance in addition to the wind speed when observing shooting parameters. Because at different distances, the bullets would be at different positions on the axis of the barrel.
Taking a rifle as an example, after the bullet left the muzzle, it would first float up slightly, then drill down for a long distance before returning to the axial line of the barrel. So when shooting at a target 15 meters away, the crosshair of the rifle had to be moved up a little bit towards the target to hit the bullseye.
It was just that most of the adjustments would be made in the sights from the beginning for gun manufacturers. Or different parameters would be given so that the shooter did not have to make adjustments himself.
Another example was the artillery fire of a warship. Basically, no matter how experienced the artillery captain was, after adjusting the correct parameters, he still needed a bit of luck and a large number of shells to hit the target. Straddle shots, ricocheting bullets, too many situations that would actually happen could not be determined before the artillery fire, so it was impossible to achieve a true accurate hit.
But railguns did not have these problems with gunpowder weapons. It was the most basic to hit where it was pointed. Even if it was a long-distance artillery fire, no matter how many external factors there were, as long as there were no major problems with the shooting program and parameters, the deviation distance could be calculated in centimeters.
Although the long-range weapon designs that Lin had left behind in the tinder were the two major categories of plasma cannons and railguns, the details of the design were slightly different. The method of use and precautions would also be different. These all required the user, which was O'Brien, to take the initiative to explore and familiarize himself with them.
