Chapter 306 Tower Shape
"What do you think are the disadvantages of this elemental cannon? Lu Bin, you speak first."
Mo Lan asked, and Lu Bin immediately made a decisive statement upon hearing it.
"Poor accuracy and heavy, that's about it.
Elemental cannons are fine for attacking buildings, but they can't be aimed accurately at people, no matter how close you are. They can only shoot in a straight line. Unless you point the cannon at someone's head, the chance of dodging is almost 99%.
The reason why we keep one percent is that we are worried that someone will hit a stray shell when dodging.
Actually, these two drawbacks are the same thing: poor hit rate."
"Well, the hit rate is poor, Lin Wo, how about you?"
"I feel the same way. Although this elemental cannon has a long range and strong power, it can only go straight and there is no such thing as turning to chase the enemy.
The Mage Tower is excellent in this regard. Although its attack range is short and its speed is slower than that of the Elemental Cannon, it can hit whatever you point it at, lock on to something, and turn corners. "
Mo Lan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"In your opinion, are elemental cannons suitable for single combat in the wild?"
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and then shook their heads at the same time.
“No, unless there are powerful mages or warriors guarding the elemental cannon and dealing with individuals, even if the elemental cannon is powerful, it will be useless if it can’t hit anyone.
Elemental cannons should be used against organized knight groups and buildings, not individuals."
“It’s similar to my conclusion. If that’s the case, then we must move the Mage Tower.
The mobile mage tower is equipped with elemental cannons, which can perform close-range attacks, defense, and medium and long-range attacks.
Coupled with the flexibility and maneuverability it brings as a car, it can fully meet our needs.
So, Lin Wo, you continue to study the engine, and it would be best if you can conquer it as soon as possible.
Lu Bin, the two of us will build the miniature mage tower first.
Once the Micro Mage Tower is completed, we can load it onto a vehicle and it will become a mobile Mage Tower."
"good."
Lu Bin nodded, and sat down with Mo Lan at the workbench next to the blast furnace. They both took out paper and pen.
"One by one, first determine the functions that the Mage Tower needs to achieve."
After Mo Lan finished speaking, Lu Bin pondered for a moment and then started talking directly.
“What we need is attack and defense, so we only need Constant Water Shield and Dark Fireball.
In addition, there is the pool of water elements and fire elements needed to activate spells, as well as the pool of space elements used in the elemental cannon.
There are five functions in total. It can’t be simplified any further, right? "
Mo Lan pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.
“Indeed, this should be the limit in terms of functionality. All the flashy things are discarded, leaving only the most basic functions.
But there is still one feature missing.”
"What function?"
Lu Bin asked curiously.
"Hawkeye!"
"Eagle Eye Technique?"
"Yes, the magician's detection range is limited, and the detection range of his mental power is not even as far as the distance of the naked eye.
It is obviously not feasible to guard, explore and search with the naked eye alone.
However, if the wizard used Eagle Eye to investigate, it would obviously be a little lacking.
The wizard tower constantly casts the spell "Eagle Eye" in groups, which has a huge detection range so as not to become a blind person.
And if combined with mechanical mental calculations, the firing and use of elemental cannons will be more convenient and more accurate, just like satellite positioning."
"In that case, do we need to add another light element pool?
Eagle Eye plus Light Element Pool, that's two more, the space required will increase a lot, in other words, the number of Smiles in the Mage Tower will increase a lot."
Mo Lan pondered for a moment after hearing this.
"The space stretching technology is used inside the element pool to reduce the size of the element pool and increase the storage capacity of the element pool."
"Spatial Stretch doesn't work with the Constant Spell model.
The constant spell model requires material size, not space size.
We can only stretch the size of space, not the size of the material, which means we still need the same volume of material.”
"No other way, Eagle Eye Technique is indispensable. Let me see if I can combine them into a magic circle.
I just don’t know if if I combine all these spells into a magic circle, the resonance between the magic circles can achieve the effect of collective casting.”
Mo Lan was thinking in his heart, and Lu Bin also started thinking after hearing what he said.
“It should be possible, as group spellcasting will amplify every function of the spell.
If they are integrated into a magic circle, then the effect of a single spell will be part of the magic circle and will naturally be amplified as well.
Is it the case that when one spell is cast, all other spells will be cast at the same time?
If so, it would be a horrible waste of elements."
Mo Lan thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's true. To activate spell resonance, the entire spell must be running. Once the spell is running as a whole, multiple effects will be activated together..."
Mo Lan rejected it.
"What a waste. Forget it. Let's just stick to the spell model as the benchmark."
Mo Lan and Lu Bin started discussing immediately. Lu Bin's mage tower was under construction. Both Mo Lan and Lu Bin had sufficient understanding of the mage tower, and they were also familiar with several spell models that needed to be constant, so the two began to discuss.
First, reduce the size of the constant spell model as much as possible. Every reduction can save a lot of space.
After the reduction is completed, we start to calculate the arrangement of different spell models, and try not to arrange conflicting spell models together, so as to avoid conflicts, influences and losses between spell models.
After completing this step by step, Mo Lan and Lu Bin began to discuss the shape of the mobile mage tower.
A wizard's tower is just a name, just a type of building. The shape it is built in depends entirely on one's mood.
It can be a bungalow, a round tower, a square tower, a castle, or a villa, it doesn't matter. The core of a mage tower lies in the element pool and a constant spell model. If it meets these two points, it is a mage tower.
Therefore, Mo Lan does not have to be limited to the tower shape, and can freely design a more reasonable shape to make perfect use of every inch of space as much as possible without any waste.
Mo Lan and Lu Bin kept calculating, but the more they calculated and discussed, the stranger their expressions became. Finally, the drawing that was gradually drawn out along with the discussion was a familiar shape.
Tower shape!
The more they calculated, the more they realized that castles and bungalows wasted too much space, and the most reasonable and highest utilization rate was the tower shape.
Mo Lan and Lu Bin looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that we have to build a miniature magician tower."
"It's familiar and beautiful, isn't that good?"
Mo Lan smiled when he heard that. With a thought, the liquid black steel with golden patterns in the blast furnace slowly flowed out.
Casting begins!
