Chapter 406 We need to find a way to make the church stand up
You must use your hands to hold and hit!
Three hundred kilograms, held in one hand, the recoil would probably be several tons, right?
Only his Crusaders can use this kind of cannon, right?
Hughes's eye twitched: "Can't we let the soldiers hold the artillery and fire or something like that?"
"No, that would be dangerous." Richard took the blueprint from his bag. "Strictly speaking, this type of artillery is inherently very dangerous. In order to successfully communicate with the machine spirit, the part held in the hand is almost next to the launch cabin."
"This kind of firing is extremely dangerous, the machine soul must protect the user, otherwise..."
"Will it explode?"
"No, it's more serious than that. It will explode on its own."
Xiu Si swallowed his saliva. He didn't have to worry about this kind of weapon being picked up by the enemy to attack him. It would explode as soon as the opponent opened fire. "If you hold the cannon and fire, the communication with the machine soul will be poor. There is no way to ensure that the pollution mixes with the charge of the shell, which may cause pollution overflow, which is extremely dangerous."
Pollution is extremely dangerous to extraordinary people, but safer for ordinary people.
But this is only relative. Mortals who come into direct contact with physical pollution will still be directly corroded and become out of control. The reason why the boiler operator of the steam engine can add pollution to the furnace is mainly because of the active suppression of the machine soul.
The same goes for the Dragon's Breath Cannon. The most core part is actually to let the machine soul suppress pollution. If the machine soul stops working, the hand cannon will become a dangerous source of pollution.
Richard sighed, "So I can only miniaturize this cannon as much as possible. There is no way to make it into a naval cannon for the time being. In the future, there may be cannons that can communicate with machine spirits without having to hold them in your hands, but not now."
"That means this weapon can only be used by banshees, right?"
"That's not the case." Richard's face turned strange.
There is no problem at all for the Banshees to use the Dragon Breath Cannon, as this weapon is just right for their strength. Many Banshees think that the Gatling gun is not powerful enough, and they can't fire the steam rifle freely.
In addition to the Banshee, other extraordinary beings can also use this weapon. Richard, as a Fire Moth extraordinary being, is not good at strength, but he can also unleash the power of the second-stage Dragon's Breath Cannon.
It's just that it's used with some difficulty, and you need to use all your body's strength to resist the recoil.
As for humans, Zeus sees absolutely no hope of humans using this kind of weapon. No matter how much training they get, they won't be able to withstand tons of recoil!
But Richard didn't seem to think so.
"My Lord, I have been studying the mysteries of the human body. With all due respect, no one among the Fire Moths knows the human body better than me."
Hughes was shocked. Could it be that Richard had really researched something? God's Forbidden Zone, sanctification of the flesh, gene locks, etc.? However, Richard changed the subject: "I found that humans have limits. Flesh and blood have limits, but steel does not."
"Why not use strong steel instead of weak flesh and blood?"
Hughes was stunned.
Your train of thought is as fast as the wind! But then he thought again, it seems that there has been similar research in this world for a long time. Wasn't the mechanical priest who killed him before covered with steel prosthetic limbs? Xiu Si suddenly frowned. He knew very little about the major churches before, and only thought that the mechanical priest was from the Candlelight Society. Now he thought about it, how could he be from the Mechanical Temple?
And doesn't the Mechanical Templar have a conflict with the Candlelight Society?
"Richard, what is your relationship with the Mechanical Temple?"
Richard was stunned for a moment. Apparently, this topic jump was a bit too big.
"There is no obvious connection, but it's not bad in secret. The Fire Moth has had a lot of exchanges with the predecessor of the Mechanical Temple, the Mechanical Society, since before the Candlelight Society split."
"What is the relationship between the Mechanical Temple and the Candlelight Society?"
"Very bad. The Mechanical Temple is very close to the royal family and is almost semi-hostile to the Candlelight Society. But that was in the past. Now that the Queen is dead, everything is uncertain."
Richard spread his hands and said, "We haven't heard from the Empire for a long time."
Hughes tapped the barrel of the gun with his fingers.
The Candlelight Society had a very bad relationship with the Mechanical Templar, so how come he was killed by the Mechanical Priest and then taken in by the Candlelight Society?
Come to think of it, the Mechanical Priest seems to have the holy emblem of the Candlelight Order on him.
Forget it, let’s not worry about it anymore. When I descend into the body of the worker Zeus in the future, I’ll listen more to the news from the scepter. Now I’d better take care of the present.
"My Lord, since you asked about the Mechanical Temple, you must have guessed my idea." Richard nodded with a smile. "I think the Mechanical Temple's practice of removing limbs and directly replacing them with mechanical structures is a bit extreme."
"I want to make a little reform, not to abandon the weak flesh and blood, but to protect and assist it with hard steel."
Hughes' eyes lit up. Mecha or exoskeleton? Just say it, I can definitely accept it! Then he saw Richard took out a few blueprints from his bag:
"I used the architecture of Castel Cathedral as a model and designed several dragon breath cannons that can be fixed on the wall and fired."
Xius took the blueprint and looked through it carefully.
Richard's idea was not complicated. Humans couldn't use the dragon's breath cannon, right? Then they could just fix it on a permanent fortification like a church.
Well, the churches in Castres are all permanent fortifications.
There is no need to worry about recoil for the Dragon's Breath Cannon fixed on the church. It can be operated entirely by humans, and with a few mechanical bases it can even rotate freely.
Xius looked at it for a long time and finally nodded: "The design seems to be fine, but it can only be installed on permanent fortifications?"
"For the time being, yes."
"So we can't use it for attacking?"
"Well, can we get the church to stand up and charge with the army?"
"Of course not!" Hughes covered his face. "I thought you had invented something like an exoskeleton. It was a mechanically powered armor, but the solution turned out to be to make the church stand up? I don't think your idea is much more reliable than Tata's."
Richard took off his monocle somewhat awkwardly and wiped it with a cloth over and over again.
"Well, Lord, the technology you are talking about is only mastered by the Mechanical Temple, and it is said that some of it has been lost."
Good man, do we have to rely on archaeology to build an exoskeleton? "Is there any other way?"
"I think the biological transformation of the Kind Mother might be a way, but that's a bit too evil."
It is indeed evil, and [Mother] itself is not that powerful. There is not much meaning in researching in this direction, at least it is not very helpful in terms of artillery.
Hughes sighed, feeling that the artillery was still far from being practical.
Just as he was about to leave, Xiusi suddenly froze when he looked at the blueprint in his hand.
That was the design drawing of the new ship he had just got from Tata. The ship was ridiculously large and could accommodate all the people in Castel.
Then, it wouldn't be a problem to build a church from above, right? (End of this chapter)
