Chapter 195 Magic Cannon and Magic Crystal Grenade
That’s right!
As Bruno was eagerly anticipating, Lord Idar's research on magic cannons finally made some progress.
Although the magic cannon developed by the Idar Lord cannot be compared with the various artillery on Earth in terms of accuracy and lethality.
However, in this magical world with almost zero industrial base, the new magic cannon developed by the Idar Magic Array Research Laboratory is already considered the most powerful long-range weapon in the world.
Even at its worst...it's still much better than the catapults and crossbows used in sieges.
First there was the adorable griffin, then there was the magic cannon with huge potential. This autumn, the Idar Territory received too many surprises.
Under Bruno's guidance, the diligent apprentices used their wisdom and diligence to create a precedent for the era! As a traverser from Earth, Bruno clearly realized that the successful development of the magic cannon was not only a milestone in the history of magic, but also likely to change the pattern and situation of future wars! It was also driven by the news of the successful development of the magic cannon that Bruno finally walked out of his lord's castle and once again came to the magic array research laboratory at the foot of Mount Almis.
Standing at the door of the laboratory, Bruno couldn't help feeling quite sentimental.
Every time Bruno came, the students would bring him unexpected surprises. Although these mage apprentices were not very smart and their talents were mediocre, they were able to calm down and study all aspects related to magic circles in a down-to-earth manner, contributing their own strength to the development of the Idar School.
Everyone has their own selfish desires, and the selfish desire of these apprentice wizards is to carry forward the Idar School and let those great wizards who look down on their talents see that with their own efforts, they can also become an irreplaceable member of the magic world and walk their own path! Who could have expected that the magic cannon that would be so powerful in the future was actually developed by just a few apprentice wizards?
How could the great wizards who had lived in St. Lawrence for a long time feel? The sharp-eyed Arnel quickly noticed the arrival of the Count, and immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted him, "Master Mentor!"
Bruno waved his hand as a greeting.
This was the time to make magic crystal bombs, but when they saw Bruno coming, the mage apprentices put down their work and greeted their mentor.
after all……
As ordinary apprentices of mages, how could they have achieved what they have today if they had not received the guidance of their mentor! Whether it was the magic circle, the magic crystal bomb, or the magic cannon and the source stone, as a mentor, Master Bruno must have had his own ideas long ago, but...
Bruno still resolutely gave them the task of developing these things, leaving the reputation of inventing the magic cannon to himself...
What a broad mind this is! What a heavy trust this is!
Perhaps others were puzzled by Bruno's words, actions and decisions, and thought he was just being lazy, but...
In the eyes of the mage apprentices, this was clearly a task assigned by their mentor in order to train them and cultivate their comprehensive qualities and innovative consciousness.
So, in the final analysis, this is all for their own good!
It seems that the mentor... treats them as his family! Moreover, every time Bruno comes, he will not only test the previous research results, but also assign new tasks to the apprentice wizards. Through a series of guidance and instructions, they can gain new ideas and learn more magic knowledge.
Although Bruno felt that this kind of laissez-faire management was somewhat unworthy of his reputation as a mentor...
But for the apprentice mages, Bruno taught them at a high frequency compared to the great mages of Saint Lawrence! So much so that they took every word Bruno said as a guideline and savored it carefully!
Bruno looked at these energetic wizard apprentices in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel particularly happy.
Although the magic cannon had been developed, the first thing that caught Bruno's attention the moment he entered the door was the magic crystal grenades that the mage apprentices were making.
After these days of improvement and research and development, the mage apprentices not only developed the magic cannon with the cooperation of the Idar Steel Factory, but also successfully optimized and adjusted the magic crystal bomb, thereby designing a lighter and more portable magic crystal grenade.
Although the magic crystal grenade is far less powerful than those large magic crystal stone bombs, it is a necessary compromise for portability and safety.
after all……
Unlike magic crystal bombs, magic crystal grenades must be carried by the soldiers led by Idar!
If it exploded accidentally... that would be a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, in order to improve the safety of the magic crystal grenade, Anel and the other mage apprentices added a number of safety devices when drawing the magic circle.
If the detonator is triggered by abnormal factors other than pulling out the pin, the multiple safety devices designed by the mage apprentices will be activated automatically, thus preventing unpredictable consequences caused by severe bumps during the march.
At the same time, the magic power capacity stored in the magic crystal grenade was also reduced to a large extent, which limited the power and coverage of the magic storm.
However, even though so many compromises were made in terms of power, the existence of the magic crystal grenade still greatly improved the combat capability of Idar soldiers and changed the soldiers' training subjects.
Pull out the pin, throw it far away, and then... boom!
It’s so convenient and fast!
In Bruno's opinion, if he were to encounter a weak army led by other nobles, he might just need to throw a few grenades from a distance to scare the enemy into defeat, and even the process of hand-to-hand combat would be saved!
However, although the magic crystal grenade can indeed cause considerable damage, Bruno does not intend to create special grenadiers in Idar like on Earth.
Because weapons research and development has always been the focus of the Idar Array Research Laboratory.
After completing the debugging of the first batch of magic cannons, the mage apprentices of Idar County did not further optimize and upgrade the magic cannons. Instead, they focused their energy on the magic rifles in accordance with Bruno's previous requirements!
