When Tang En was designing the weapon, he imagined that the enemy would be the creatures of Chaos. Therefore, the first consideration was that the power of the weapon should not be too weak.
Therefore, when he was upgrading the missile, when he saw that the size of the warhead was large enough, his creative desire began to go wild. He added a triggered Flaming Storm here, a Frost Nova there, and then a Sandstorm. When he thought about it, it was not enough, so he added a Storm Blade to round up the four elemental spells. If not for the fact that he was worried that the warhead would not be able to carry too complicated runes, he would have added an Arcane Explosion to it.
However, although this weapon was a weapon on the battlefield against Chaos, if this design concept was popularized in the future and used by those people in internal wars, he would become a sinner for all eternity.
Tang En thought about it again and again, curled his lips, and gave up the idea of weakening the weapon.
No, not only should he not weaken it, he should even strengthen it.
Become a sinner for all eternity for inventing weapons? What did it have to do with him?
The biggest potential enemy now was Chaos. If the invasion of Chaos could not be stopped, the whole of Prandal would be finished. The gods who dragged him over would not have an easy time either. In that case, what was there to worry about?
If he could not kill Chaos, he would definitely be finished. If he killed Chaos, there was only a possibility that the creatures of Prandal would have this weapon of mass destruction. One was inevitable, the other was accidental. What was there to think about?
After seeing the explosion, Tang En began to count down. After a full three minutes and twenty seconds, he heard the explosion coming from afar.
Tang En estimated that one hundred kilometers, three minutes and twenty seconds. In other words, the speed of sound in Prandal at normal temperature and standard altitude in spring was about 500 meters per second? This was much faster than the speed of sound on Earth.
Tang En felt that this might be because Prandal was larger than Earth, and the gravity was stronger. The dense vegetation caused the air concentration here to be higher. Of course, it could also be because of the unknown "magic" in the body. However, these had little to do with him. He casually calculated and threw it to the back of his mind.
As for the speed of light that had a greater impact, hehe, with his current level and conditions, he could not calculate it.
The group of people was dumbfounded. "This is amazing, my brother …"
"We did it! We did it! "
"I didn't expect this weapon to be so powerful!"
"Just by standing here, it can hit a target a hundred kilometers away. This weapon will definitely go down in history!"
Tang En shook his head and said, "It's not over yet. We only tested the single shot, but we haven't tested the consecutive shots. Under the consecutive shots, the air turbulence is more serious and will interfere with each other's flight trajectories. Whether the guiding arrow can offset these interference and produce the corresponding effect at the same time requires further testing."
Danny did not disconnect the vision link in time, so he received the impact of the missile hitting the target from the first-person perspective. Danny's face was very pale and his heart was beating very fast, but he still raised his hand. "I, I'm ready!"
Tang En frowned. "Are you okay?"
"Please don't ask a man if he can do it, because my answer is yes!"
Daniel roared, "Your Majesty, you are doubting a man's strength and determination!"
"Bang!"
Tang En spat. He should not have told those jokes to Clover and the others. After they were published as novels and comics, these guys would know how to make jokes after reading them.
After confirming that Danny's mental state was not abnormal and could accept the second test, Tang En and the others immediately reloaded a missile and then carried out the second consecutive missile test. This time, they would fire 12 missiles in a row. After locking on to the target, the 12 missiles would bombard the target continuously under the guidance of the guiding arrow.
The process of the test will be skipped. In short, the test was very successful. Tang En's whimsical idea finally got an accurate result. Not only did it open up a new idea for him, but it also let these Prandal natives see a new world: weapons could actually be like this!
In the morning, not only did they test the ship-borne missile launcher, but they also tested the warship's main cannon, large-caliber machine guns, and other new weapons. The test results were very satisfactory, which also made Twain breathe a sigh of relief.
Because the design of these weapons was very casual, he provided the idea and inspiration, the gnomes provided the science and technology and data support, and the dwarves did the structural design.
According to the warship design and manufacturing plan on Earth, just the position of the main cannon had to be taken into consideration, whether it was the pressure on the engine, the hull, the deck, or the sides, especially the side pressure. If the firepower of the ship-borne cannon was too strong, and the displacement and balance of the warship were limited, then the ship would inevitably flip over if it ran down, and then it would not be able to play the erhu.
Fortunately, these weapons were powered by wind-powered magic engines, so the recoil was almost zero. When calculating the location of the turrets, there was no need to consider the convenience of battle. Even installing the turrets on top of the control room to achieve the best firing range would not be a problem.
This saved them a lot of time, allowing them to use it to test the performance of the weapons.
After the weapons test was completed, Tang En and the others returned to Ellington and issued a new order.
"Start the production of the weapons tested today immediately, and transport the finished weapons to Fehra Shipyard as soon as possible. We have three weeks left, we must hurry!"
"Leave it to me."
Hayley, who had specially come from the Blackstone Cavern to Ellington to participate in the weapons test, blinked, licked her lips, and said, "I promise to complete the task ahead of time, but I miss —"
"Then I'll leave it to Hayley."
Tang En decisively interrupted Hayley's words. What a joke, Fiona, Aurelia, Olina, and Elsa were all here. If he let Hayley continue, his glorious deeds would be completely exposed.
"In addition, Danny will be responsible for the targeted training of the ranger team. In the coming battle, you may have to temporarily put down the bows in your hands, you will have to personally operate the weapons."
Danny saluted and said loudly, "I promise to complete the task!"
The ranger team was also what Tang En was most worried about. There were no Divines in the navy, so in the coming battle, the rangers would have to control the missiles. However, out of the four thousand elites in Ellington, the ranger team added up to less than a hundred people. It was not even enough for himself, so how could he send them out?
An idea flashed through Tang En's mind. Perhaps in the future, he could recruit some low-level rangers and Divines for training. As long as the reward was high enough, those rangers who were not doing well might apply for the job …
"In addition to the production of those weapons, the military factory must increase the production speed of ammunition. Large-scale battles will consume a lot of ammunition, especially bullets. The 15mm large-caliber carrier-based machine gun has a very fast firing rate. I'm afraid that millions of bullets will be consumed in a single battle, so the production capacity must keep up."
Tang En reminded Hayley again, then ignored her flirtatious eyes and waved his hand to dismiss the meeting.
After a vigorous expansion in the past few days, the production capacity of Ellington was gradually increasing. It could barely meet the demand, but if they wanted to completely develop this place into an impregnable military base, it was still far from enough.
After ensuring that all the orders had been passed down, Tang En ran to Gear City to find Klotto.
Tang En looked at the Heaven Breaker in the hangar, his heart full of expectations. "How's the modification of the Heaven Breaker coming along?"
The greasy-faced Klotto proudly said, "It's in the late stages of modification, installing the base of the turret, and expanding the ammunition depot. After changing the power source, there's more idle space, and it can carry more ammunition. I can guarantee that it'll be a great lad! Just wait and see how it performs! "
The current appearance of the Heaven Breaker had greatly changed. The original four-axis propeller aircraft had been dismantled and replaced with four huge platforms. The gnome engineers were welding sturdy bases and ammunition depots on those platforms, which would be used to install 15mm large-caliber machine guns and store ammunition belts. That's right, it was the ship-borne machine gun that was tested in the morning.
There were also many new shooting ports around the deck. When the time came, these ports would be equipped with howitzers with a range of about ten kilometers, which could be used for air-to-air or air-to-ground attacks.
In addition to the modification requested by Tang En, the Heaven Breaker also retained the unique weapons of the gnomes, such as the Gnome Shrinking Ray, Gnome Freezing Ray, and so on.
"Is this the only one?"
Klotto spread out his hands. "The modified design has been copied, but the production is still a little troublesome. The manufacturing cycle is too long. After this one is completed, it will take at least another month to see the next one."
"What if Ellington provides the materials and technical support?"
The materials naturally referred to the universal alloy, and the technical support was not just the magical engine, but also the Haste spell.
"It'll be very efficient, but I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."
Klotto had seen how efficient people could be with the Haste spell. He had personally experienced it and knew how much pressure it put on them. Not many gnome engineers could withstand it.
Tang En sighed. "Then let's take it slow, but it's better than nothing."
The skies of Prandal had always been the domain of Dragons (except in ancient times). The Dragons stayed in the Heart of the Megalosaurus to avoid the world, or hang out with the goblins of the Star Diamond Bank to think about how to empty the pockets of others of their money. So most of the time, the skies belonged to the flying magical beasts.
Before the magic-modified fighter jets were born, airships were the best choice for Tang En to occupy the air. As for the hot air balloon and comet motorcycles, one was too slow and easy to be beaten up by the flying magical beasts, while the other was too weak in combat and could only be used by scouts to obtain information.
Now, as long as the Heaven Breaker could be used in the battle three weeks later, Tang En would be satisfied.
