Chapter 313 'Fatal Disadvantage'!
"Awesome, if you use it at full speed, the speed, the strength of the pure gold-patterned black steel structure, plus the sharpness added to the top of the mage tower.
With all of this added up, I'm afraid nothing can stop the chariot's charge, right?"
A wizard exclaimed, and Mo Lan shook his head.
"It's not flexible enough. It has certain requirements for the road. There can't be potholes, steep slopes, or angles. The enemy can't dodge. It's very limited."
Lin Wo retorted upon hearing this.
“The limitations are indeed high, but if it is fully realized, the impact will be extremely terrifying.
For example, dealing with an army in formation, or a group of heavily armored knights who are good at charging, or tightly closed city gates and solid city walls.
The extremely strong ramming attack power of this chariot may be the key to our breakthrough at a critical moment."
Lin Wo spoke highly of this point, and inspiration came to his mind as he spoke.
“Perhaps we can add similar functionality in subsequent versions.
A high-frequency vibration function is added to the top of the tower, and a jet is added to the tail for instant acceleration.
Then, we will imitate the Knights’ way of using fighting spirit to pave the way and create a magic circle, so that the road ahead of the chariot will be smooth…”
The more Mo Lan listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he interrupted him quickly.
"Wait, stop, stop, this is a mobile wizard tower, are you going a little off the track?"
"It's just a name, and if it can be used, you don't care whether it's physical output or spell output."
Lin Wo retorted, and Mo Lan couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing that.
“Besides, you created the Mage Tower, and you have always been responsible for upgrading it. I am only responsible for the mechanics.
You upgrade the Mage Tower, and I upgrade the mechanical part. Put them together, isn't it still a mobile Mage Tower? It's a combination of magic and physics. It's a combination of magic and physics."
"hiss."
Mo Lan suddenly felt that there was some truth in it.
"Okay, don't think too much about it, that's still a matter for the next generation, let's just take care of this first generation first.
You just said that time is running out, and now I am still dawdling here. If there are any problems, please give me some time to debug. "
Hearing Lin Wo's urging, Mo Lan stopped thinking and focused his attention on the console in front of him. Then he suddenly remembered something and continued.
"Oh, one thing. You need to provide good shock absorption for places like the control console where people sit. If I wasn't floating in the air and had a shield, I would have been seriously injured if I didn't die."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll definitely do it next time."
Lin Wo responded casually, then pointed to a gate knife and explained.
"The energy channel connected to this switch is responsible for lowering the chariot support frame, and this switch is responsible for raising the mage tower. You must lower the support frame first before you can raise the mage tower."
"Can the Mage Tower be raised directly?"
"No, the support must be lowered first, and then the switch of the Mage Tower will be connected. If the Mage Tower is raised directly, nothing will happen.
This is done in consideration of stability. The car body is not stable enough and may roll over or overturn, so a series connection is specially set up to prevent someone from operating it incorrectly. This way, even if an operation error occurs, the car will not roll over.
After all, most of the weight of the chariot is on the mage tower. If the mage tower moves, the center of gravity of the entire chariot will also move, so you still have to be careful."
"Oh, I see."
Mo Lan closed the knife and turned on the switch. The moment the switch was turned on, Mo Lan's mental power sensed that the iron pillars that originally fixed the mage tower on the surface of the chariot were lowering in height, from the top of the chariot to the bottom of the chariot, and then pierced deeply into the soil and stones.
There are two fifteen-meter-long horizontal bars on both sides of the chariot. After forming a ninety-degree angle with the chariot, the iron plates at the end of the bars are attached to the ground to provide support.
In addition to the two sides, a two-square-meter rectangular iron plate extends out from the front parking space and falls on the ground to provide strong support.
The whole process lasted for more than ten minutes before it was completely completed. Although the speed was slow, it was very stable and no problems occurred. Mo Lan could also see the technical content involved.
The technical content inside the seemingly crude and simple chariot is not simple at all. These are the results of Lin Wo and the project team constantly searching for information on the Internet and in libraries, and then continuing to discuss and research.
"This is the Mage Association, it's worth it."
Mo Lan murmured to himself in his heart, a feeling of relief and pride surged from the depths of his heart.
He stepped hard on the chariot, and it no longer shook at all. The iron plates that fell on the ground and penetrated deeply into the soil and the rock iron pillars provided strong support for the chariot.
"rise!"
Mo Lan closed and raised the gate of the Mage Tower and shouted softly.
The energy pathway was connected, the engine roared, and the power was connected. A round iron pillar with a length of nearly ten meters extended from the rear of the vehicle. There was a pulley on the top, connected to a steel cable as thick as a wrist, and the other end of the steel cable was on the third floor of the Mage Tower.
There are also nearly ten-meter-high iron pillars erected on both sides of the chariot. There are also pulleys and steel cables on the top of the iron pillars. The steel cable of the iron pillars on both sides is the same. Its middle part goes around the top of the tower and is fixed on a slot on the third floor of the Mage Tower.
As the engine turned, two steel cables as thick as wrists were instantly tightened. At the same time, several supporting pillars at the bottom of the Mage Tower slowly rose under the power of the engine.
First, the steel cables on the pillars on both sides exert force to slowly pull up the Mage Tower, and then the pillars at the bottom push it upwards.
The top of the tower slowly moved away from the front of the car, and the fifteen-meter-long wizard tower slowly rose.
When the tilt angle of the Mage Tower is large enough, the steel cables of the iron pillars on both sides lose their force angle and slowly stop. At the same time, the steel cables at the rear begin to exert force, the steel cables tighten, pulling the Mage Tower back to the original position until the Mage Tower stands at the rear of the chariot.
The whole process lasted more than ten minutes, plus the time it took for the support frame to unfold. It took a full half an hour for the tank to be in place and enter combat status.
It takes a full half hour to cast a spell, which is a huge flaw and a fatal defect.
It’s a pity that spells cannot be cast if the mage tower is not erected, otherwise this drawback will lose its basis for existence.
Are you right, Lin Wo?
Mo Lan and Lin Wo smiled at each other, with profound meaning in their eyes.
Old bitch! Not bad.
Same here , you're not bad either.
"Ahem, President, can you please go in and take a look?"
Lin Wo pointed at the black steel door with gold patterns that was slowly rising and spoke.
"Let's go in and take a look. If the Mage Tower is operating normally, then we can test it again and put it away, right?"
Mo Lan walked towards the Mage Tower, and Lin Wo followed closely, talking as they walked.
"That's about it. What's left is some operating system tests and inspections of these more sophisticated parts to see if the operation will cause significant wear or other problems.
If these are all correct, then the vehicle is completely finished."
"good."
Mo Lan was very familiar with the interior of the Mage Tower. The first floor was filled with elemental pools, which provided sufficient energy for the Mage Tower. The second floor was filled with space boxes, which stored logistical supplies or spoils of war. However, most of them were still empty. Next to the boxes was a bed and a desk for the driver to rest and study.
The third floor is the key point, the control center of the entire mage tower!
Float into the third floor through the cave entrance, close the black steel door with gold patterns that looks like a manhole cover, and the third floor becomes an independent sealed space.
