The group went to the room outside, and Tang En took out a bunch of snacks and tea. Then, they sat there and chatted while drinking tea.
Tang En took a sip of the hot tea and felt comfortable all over. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Fiona and Histisa next to him.
If they hadn't sat together by chance, he wouldn't have known that Fiona and Histisa had such a good relationship.
Tang En casually asked Nokia, who was sitting on a stool, "The Heaven Breaker is now in a very good condition after being improved. It has already shown amazing battlefield adaptability in the battle at Bul-Kathos, but have you guys thought of further expanding its other functions?"
"Other functions?"
Nokia, who was holding a teacup, looked confused. "The current Heaven Breaker is perfect in terms of firepower and defense. Even the mentors don't know how to improve it, so how can I?"
"Perfect in terms of firepower and defense?"
Tang En smiled. "That's because you guys haven't encountered a really strong attack, nor have you encountered a really difficult enemy … Let me give you a hint. You should increase the strategic significance of the Heaven Breaker in the war."
"Strategic significance …"
Nokia pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I don't quite understand."
Histisa put down the teacup and said with a smile, "You want to carry more powerful weapons to achieve greater deterrence?"
"The deterrence of the weapons is already enough. The 350-millimeter main cannon has a long range, and we just need to continue improving the power of the shells. The perfect secondary weapons can also achieve enough firepower suppression."
Tang En said with a smile, "It's just that the Heaven Breaker's strategic position isn't enough … The deterrence you mentioned isn't quite appropriate, because the improvements to the Heaven Breaker aren't targeted at other countries."
Of course, if other countries were deterred, it had nothing to do with him.
"The meaning is unclear. The creation of weapons is for war. The improvements you are making now are for this. In that case, why are you denying yourself?"
Histisa didn't really understand Tang En.
"That's because the target of the war is different. If it's a war for our survival, I'm afraid no one would say anything wrong."
Tang En sipped a mouthful of hot tea and said happily, "The Heaven Breaker is now the only weapon in our hands that has air supremacy. We must further strengthen its air supremacy."
Histisa looked at Tang En with great interest. "So?"
"Enhance the Heaven Breaker's group combat capabilities."
Tang En said straightforwardly, "The Heaven Breaker will easily become a live target if it appears alone, and it will be very difficult to form an effective attack. However, if the number of secondary combat units is increased, the effect will be different if the Heaven Breaker attacks in groups like a beehive."
Group battle?
Histisa frowned. "Of course it's not a problem to carry more combat units on the Heaven Breaker. Isn't that what we're doing now?"
Nokia nodded. "That's right. Our mentor has arranged for many trained soldiers to ride on the Comet Flying Motorcycle as the Heaven Breaker's bodyguards. It's no different from what you said."
"It's not enough."
Tang En shook his head.
"The Comet Flying Motorcycle is a single-person daily transportation vehicle. Although it can become a single-person reconnaissance vehicle after the specifications are improved, it's obviously not a qualified air combat weapon platform."
He thought about the carrier-based aircraft on Earth and said, "A real air combat unit should have super mobility, excellent combat radius, extremely fast reaction speed, and a variety of offensive and counterattack methods … There's no doubt that the Comet Flying Motorcycle can't meet these conditions."
Nokia's eyes lit up. "What new ideas do you have?"
Therefore, Tang En described his "idea" to the few of them.
Hearing that he was going to develop a kind of auxiliary equipment that could be worn to fly in the air, and at the same time, it was very convenient for combat, Nokia, Estisa, Fiona and the others were very interested.
"However, from your description, other than being able to fly, this thing doesn't seem to be much different from a full-body armor?"
Nokia asked curiously, "What other unique advantages does it have?"
"It doesn't have to be a full-body armor."
Tang En casually explained, "The full-body armor is just to solve the breathing problem of the wearer at high altitude and high speed. In fact, rather than calling it armor, it's better to call it magic kinetic energy armor."
Nokia nodded to show that he understood.
Tang En raised his finger, and the arcane light condensed into a human figure at his fingertip. Clouds of water elements floated out from the side, and the water elements turned into armor according to his will. Then, the little person went into the cockpit. In the translucent state, the position of the little person made of arcane energy could be clearly seen.
"Look, in my concept, this kinetic energy armor will be made of Demon-Sucking Gold and added with the auxiliary system of artificial souls. At the same time, there will be boosters on the legs, knees, hands, elbows, and other parts of the body. Through hydraulic transmission rods, the power provided by the magic engine will be converted into mechanical energy, and then converted into combat power …"
Under Tang En's control, the arcane little person raised its arm, and the water elemental armor moved with it. With a straight punch, a stream of water suddenly spurted out from the back of the armor's right arm, and then the speed of the armor's punch suddenly increased …
Nokia's eyes lit up, immediately seeing the beauty of this design, "The powerful power of the magic engine can make up for the lack of strength of the pilot!"
"That's right."
Tang En nodded with a smile, "According to my speculations, if this kinetic energy armor is completed, a normal person will be able to obtain a comprehensive combat power comparable to a Gold Rank after wearing it."
The reason why it was said to be a comprehensive combat strength was only referring to combat strength. In a battlefield environment, the reaction speed and vitality of a Gold-tier powerhouse would definitely be stronger. However, when it came to defense and attack power, the kinetic energy armor that could be strengthened by external means would definitely crush them.
Not to mention anything else, just adding various Magic Arrays to the Magic Devouring Metal Kinetic Energy Armor would greatly increase its defense, but a normal Heaven's Revelation couldn't do that. The armor on their bodies couldn't provide that much magic power for the Magic Arrays, nor did they have that much space to draw Magic Arrays.
In terms of attack, the kinetic energy armor relied on the powerful power of the magic engine, and with the birth of the Floating Stone Crystal, it could greatly reduce its weight. This provided a large amount of space for it to carry large amounts of heavy weapons. Whether it was portable cannons, large caliber machine guns, or fierce large combat weapons like the Battleship Slicing Blade, it wasn't a problem at all.
The most exciting thing was its potential. Because it was a wearable auxiliary battle armor, it was relatively large, so the size of the weapons used would also be correspondingly large. This gave Tang En room to let his imagination run wild, and those weapons could be used to play with many tricks. For example, the strange use of Transfiguration (Chapter 30) that he had accidentally discovered could be used to create a high frequency oscillation weapon. The high frequency oscillation of the sword blade could easily destroy the enemy's defense.
Or he could design a portable energy cannon similar to the Magic Crystal Cannon, using Magic Crystals as ammunition, to shoot out pure magic power or drive physical ammunition to kill the enemy …
There were so many ideas that could be expanded, and Tang En's brain almost couldn't stop running. After all, it was not realistic to design and produce airplanes in Prandal, and the learning cost was too high. This kinetic energy armor that was easy to operate and cheap to learn was the most suitable choice.
"Gold-level comprehensive combat power!"
Fiona's eyes lit up. What was this?
This was a mass-produced Gold-level Heaven's Revelation!
"If we can arm the army after mass production, won't they become an invincible army?"
"In theory, that's right."
Tang En smiled and said, "But it might be a little troublesome in practice because this thing requires a lot of technology. The early production will definitely not be too high, and we're about to start mass-producing airships, so we're more urgent for air combat power. Even if it's produced, it will be supplied to flying combat units first."
"At least there's something to look forward to, isn't there?"
Fiona couldn't wait and said, "How long will it take to finalize this plan? If you need any special resources, let me know in advance, and I'll have people prepare to collect them. "
"There's no special materials, we can make the materials ourselves. The key is to come up with a complete and usable construction plan. There are too many technical factors involved, so we need Master Klotto, Brian, and Master Angus to discuss it together. And you, Ms. Eustisa, your artificial soul technology is also very important to this kinetic energy armor."
The kinetic energy armor had to be equipped with a flight system. If an ordinary person was the pilot, the reaction speed and dynamic vision of an ordinary person would definitely not be enough to meet the needs of combat in high-speed maneuverability combat. So at that time, they had to have the assistance of artificial souls. This involved the problem of customizing artificial souls.
Now, other than those homebody "programmers" in the Eustisa family, there was really no one who could play with this set of technology.
"I don't mind."
Eustisa smiled and nodded. "Anyway, I've been bored for so long, it's good to have something to do."
Tang En pondered for a moment and said, "After the design plan is finalized, a complete production system will be developed according to this design plan, from the basic processing of raw materials, to the production of parts, the filling of artificial souls, and the final assembly, etc. … Optimistically speaking, for this kinetic energy armor to be truly mature, even if it's just a test model, I'm afraid it will be next year at the earliest. It will probably be a few years before it can be mass-produced and equipped for the entire army."
It was not that Tang En was too pessimistic, but there were too many technical and uncertain factors involved. Optimistically speaking, it would be a blessing from the gods to be able to mass-produce this thing and equip it for the soldiers in five years' time.
This was also because Prandal had the help of magic and all kinds of high-performance materials that they could only dream of.
On Earth?
This thing would take at least a few decades to be studied in the research lab …
