Chapter 615 Storm Generator
Richard kept manipulating several metal levers. The coyote's entire appearance could no longer be seen in the passage. Only a golden shadow could be seen, and even the howling sound became weird.
This is the Doppler effect, which means that the wavelength or frequency will change due to the relative motion between the observer and the sound source. When a car passes by at high speed while honking its horn, the sound you hear will change in this way.
Zeus felt a little magical for a moment. The world in front of him was clearly following the laws of physics, but it seemed not to follow them.
Amid the strange and distorted howling of the coyote, the air seemed to be gradually becoming thicker. Hughes took a deep breath and felt it was extremely humid. It seemed that what entered his lungs was not air, but sea water.
In a trance, it was as if the whole person was gradually sinking into the deep sea, and the sound of tides gradually rose to my ears with a little whisper.
Lightning flashed across the dark clouds in the sky from time to time, and lightning really gathered in the sky. As Richard thought about it, a clone dragged a huge target into the test site.
It placed the target in the middle of the test field and then took a few steps away.
"My Lord, thunder is coming!"
boom!
As soon as Richard finished speaking, a thick bolt of lightning pierced through the sky and earth, instantly illuminating the dark testing ground.
Hughes looked closely and saw that the huge target was intact, and where Richard's clone was, there was a pile of smoking debris.
"Well, its accuracy is still not very good now." A look of embarrassment flashed across Richard's face.
The other few remaining clones quickly pushed back the lever. As they did so, the sticky and humid air gradually became calm, and the sound of the deep sea tide could no longer be heard.
The coyote's strange and distorted howling gradually became normal, although it was still very shrill.
Richard's clone opened the jar. Although the coyote looked half dead, it was still struggling.
"You see, the catalyst we use is even reusable. A storm generator only needs one coyote to function for a long time. It's also one of the parts of the device, um, wetware?"
"The entire device can be stably reproduced and used for a long time. It is also very easy to maintain. I have modularized the ritual runes. If there is a problem, I can simply replace the corresponding rune plate."
"It's just that coyotes are difficult to obtain. I've tried several other creatures, but they're not as resilient as coyotes and often die during rituals. Lord Ash, can your coyote farm supply wetware for this?"
Xius looked at the test site in front of him with a blank expression, not knowing how to start.
The storm generator developed by Richard was indeed completed in accordance with Hughes' scientific research process. Both the degree of automation and the modular repair concept are very reasonable.
Just the research results are outrageous.
It feels like I’m cooking according to a recipe, but the dish I cook turns out is hellish food.
The coyote was shivering and wailing. Richard's clone took out a bag of dog food, pried open the coyote's mouth, and stuffed it directly into its stomach. He also got some water and poured it in, and then put it back in the cage.
"My Lord, what do you think?"
"Well, this one is very strong and powerful, that is..."
It's just a little weird.
"Oh, you're worried about practicality, right? Rest assured, this storm generator is just for experimentation, and there's still plenty of room for improvement. For example, I plan to increase the number of wetware that can be sacrificed simultaneously and reduce the size of the ritual runes. This way, it can be directly fixed to the permanent fortifications."
"And it can be used not only as a defensive weapon, but I'm considering integrating it with an airship and using it in the sky, dropping mines and bombs at the same time."
"If that's the case, we need to improve the precision a bit, and we can't just use the Poseidon's tentacles to complete the sacrifice. Perhaps we could try cutting off some of the tentacles?"
"The airship has a pretty good load-bearing capacity, so it shouldn't be a problem if it flies with a section of the tentacle. However, the tentacle is still somewhat active. It's quite quiet when it's connected to the stellar furnace, but if it's carried on the airship, it might interfere with flight."
Richard became more and more excited as he spoke, twirling his mustache and narrowing his eyes.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about this later." Zeus couldn't bear to listen any longer. He felt that since Richard started developing weapons, Castel's style of painting had become more and more weird.
From the Dragon Breath Cannon to the current Storm Generator, Richard was indeed doing serious scientific research, and he also integrated the Transcendental into it as requested by Hughes, but Hughes still felt that it was not going well.
"The Storm Generator is a very important invention. The idea behind this is groundbreaking. Mr. Richard, you have lived up to my expectations."
"But Castel doesn't need too many weapons for now. Future research will focus on the specific applications of electrical equipment."
Hughes suddenly remembered that Richard seemed to have several other projects on hand.
"By the way, how's the transformation of Chloe's body going, and the connection with Nora going?"
Richard's face froze.
"Well, both of these studies have basically reached a bottleneck."
"What's the trouble?"
"Yes." Richard sighed. "The two sides have different research directions, but they both point to the same result: the Mechanics Society."
"Mechanical Society? Oh, the Mechanical Temple, right? Its predecessor was the Mechanical Society. I remember it had a good relationship with you, the Fire Moths."
"That happened a long time ago. We've lost contact now. It's said they've also sided with the Candlelight Society. The assassination of the Queen might have been instigated by the Mechanical Templar as well."
Richard waved his hand, his voice grave. "The Mechanical Temple was initially obsessed with researching machinery, but somehow they moved towards body modification. They've done extensive research on the human body. While I don't have their specific technology, I do know a few of the names."
"For example, they are very good at replacing the original body with mechanical limbs, and they can control them freely. If we have this part of the technology, then it will not be a problem for Nora to control her body, or even build her a new steel body."
"They also reportedly have a backup technology that can transfer consciousness to a new body. Although there will be some loss, if we can obtain it, there will be hope of helping Chloe repair her body."
"Of course, we can also start the research ourselves from scratch, but at the current pace, Chief Chloe may have to work many more days."
Hughes frowned. He had previously acquired a batch of steam rifles from the Mechanical Templar, which also used technology he couldn't understand at all. This organization's technology tree always felt...
It's out of tune with this era.
