297: Chapter 88 Goblin Laboratory (Lower) (Ask for Monthly Ticket)_1 297: Chapter 88 Goblin Laboratory (Lower) (Ask for Monthly Ticket)_1 Ye Yinzhu nodded without hesitation, “Of course.
On the way here, I’ve already witnessed the amazing work of the goblins.
Your technology is precious enough, what more could I ask for?”
Guru sighed, saying, “My Lord, transforming our technology into reality is not an easy thing.
Not only do we need a vast amount of precious resources, but the manufacturing process is also a critical challenge.
We goblins are talented in design but not in manufacturing.
Hence, when it concerns resources and manufacturing, I am afraid that you would need to find your own solution.”
Suddenly, Anya stated, “Elder Guru, what about your Goblin Rippers?
They should be the best builders.
Since we are collaborators, I hope that you could also show a little more sincerity.”
Guru paused, shaking his head firmly, “No, that’s impossible.
The Goblin Rippers are too precious to us.
They not only protect us but also are the primary source of all our activities.
As I mentioned, all we can provide is our technology, Miss Anya.
Besides, even if we consider the Goblin Rippers, they can only execute some very basic, large-scale processes; they can’t possible handle detailed manufacturing.”
Anya discreetly signaled Ye Yinzhu while saying, “What if we insist on including the Goblin Rippers as one of the conditions for our cooperation?
Elder, you have also expressed hope to see your technical achievements bee a reality.
To this end, any help you provide us with, the more likely it will provide results.”
Elder Guru hesitated for a moment, saying, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, Miss Anya.
But you must understand that the Goblin Rippers are exceedingly vital to our Goblin Tribe.
It encapsulates generations of our efforts and untold amounts of energy.
If they are damaged, it would be a significant blow to us.
Therefore, although I am the tribe’s chief elder, I must consider all members.”
Anya replied, “I understand your difficulties.
But as you know, we’ve only just begun to develop the Burna Mountain Range.
The help of your Goblin Rippers could drastically speed up the overall construction process.
If anything happened to the Goblin Rippers, we could provide the resources needed for repair.
How does that sound?”
Guru mused, “Well, in that case.
As long as you prove you can repair the Goblin Rippers, showing adequate resources and capital, I’ll agree to include the Goblin Rippers in our cooperative efforts.”
Ye Yinzhu asked, “And how do you propose we prove this?” Judging by his conversation with Anya, he figured out that these Goblin Rippers were not ordinary things, which was the reason why Anya was insisting on their usage.
Guru replied, “I hope you can pass our test, or rather, the test of the goblin race.
It’s a simple test.
If you can manufacture the three things that we have researched, we will fully cooperate with you.
Of course, when making these three items, I will specifically send knowledgeable goblins to assist you with the theories.
But the necessary resources and manufacturing process, you would need to figure out for yourself.”
As he spoke, Guru knocked on his desk.
A mechanical sound resonated, revealing a slot in the desk from which he pulled out three thick scrolls.
Ye Yinzhu, Anya, and Zi simultaneously stood and advanced towards Elder Guru’s desk.
Guru cherished the three scrolls in his hands, saying, “These three items are the culmination of our Goblin Laboratory’s years of research, and truthfully, manufacturing them is a challenge.
Pick any one of these three.
If you successfully make it, we will fully cooperate.”
Curiously, Ye Yinzhu asked, “What are these three things?”
Guru responded solemnly, “They are a Full-Scale Magic Cannon, a Full-Scale Monitoring Control System, and a Goblin Airship.”
Caught off guard by these three unusual names, Ye Yinzhu and his panions were somewhat puzzled.
Especially Zi and Anya, who had absolutely no clue.
Anya queried doubtfully, “What is this Full-Scale Magic Cannon you mentioned?
Is it like the Magic Crystal Cannon on the walls of the Milan Empire?”
Guru shook his head proudly and said, “Of course it’s different.
How can the magic guide cannon developed by us goblins be parable to those foolish magic crystal cannons?
Those magic crystal cannons themselves don’t have any extraordinary effects, not only do they require a lot of iron to be cast, but they also need to go through valuable magic crystal stones for element conversion, and can only be fired under the condition that mages are transferring elements.
Their function is merely to enhance the range and focus of the magic, which is way too backward.”
What?
This is still considered backward?
Ye Yinzhu also had a fair understanding of magic crystal cannons, having studied them specifically when he was at the Milan Royal Library.
Indeed, magic crystal cannons are very heavy and only suitable for installation on the city walls of large cities, and they are extremely expensive to create.
It’s said that if there are several high-level mages who can simultaneously infuse magic power, it would have an extremely powerful effect.
The power is astounding.
If there are more than ten magic crystal cannons, a blockade of magic firepower could be directly formed under the city.
The magic fired from the magic crystal cannons cannot be blocked by any defensive magic of an ordinary mage.
Therefore, it is also one of the most terrifying weapons on the continent.
Yet, according to Elder Guru standing in front of us, it seems that magic crystal cannons are of no significance to them.
Seeing the confusion of the three, Guru said calmly, “That magic crystal cannon has several fatal weaknesses.
The first one is that it is too heavy.
To make a magic crystal cannon, in order to offset the impact of the magic discharge, the cannon itself needs over ten tons of fine iron.
What a waste!
Moreover, their rough casting and unsuitable use of magic crystal stones cause the power of the magic to be massively consumed before it has been released.
The biggest flaw of this kind of magic crystal cannon is its inflexibility.
It can’t change its shooting direction at all.
It can only bombard a fixed point.
What use is it?
Do you expect the enemy to wait under your cannon?”
Ye Yinzhu calmly said, “So you mean that your full-scale magic cannon doesn’t have these problems?”
Guru nodded and smiled, saying, “Of course.
How else could it be called the pinnacle creation of our goblin laboratory?
Our magic guide cannon not only weighs much less, but it only requires about a ton of materials.
Moreover, cast-iron wheels can be attached to it, allowing it to be moved at will.
After removing the wheels, it can be installed at a high point, with the cannon barrel able to rotate freely at 360 degrees, adjustable for altitude and suitable for both air and ground targets.
The magic formation inside the cannon barrel can not only perfectly store magic elements, but the consumption can be ignored.
Moreover, it doesn’t require any human control; it can automatically lock onto the target and fire.”
Ye Yinzhu was taken aback.
“You’re saying that this full-scale magic guide cannon doesn’t need a mage to infuse magic elements on the spot, nor does it need someone to be responsible for firing it?”
Guru said proudly, “Exactly.” He indeed had the right to be proud.
These abilities sound good, but each one requires countless experiments and research to achieve.
For example, the recoil problem that occurs when the cannon barrel rotates 360 degrees in any direction is something all human nations can’t solve.
The expressions on An Ya and Zi’s faces became strange.
Including Ye Yinzhu, the three of them all thought at the same time, if such magic guide cannons were installed at the peak of the 107 mountains in the Burna Mountain Range, what kind of effect that would have?
Guru said, “The full-scale magic guide cannon we have developed must be used in conjunction with the full-scale monitoring control system.
That is to say, after the magic guide cannon and the full-scale monitoring control system are built, all you need is a constant control room to check the entire situation within the monitoring range, and the magic guide cannon can lock onto and attack any enemy that appears.”
This was too fresh for Ye Yinzhu and his friends, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help himself from asking, “Elder, I still don’t quite understand your meaning.
What’s the principle of your magic guide cannon?
How powerful is it?
And what is this control system all about?”
Guru smiled and said, “There’s no need to worry about the power of the magic guide cannon.
The principle lies in the control of the magic elements.
It doesn’t need to be infused with magic power because it is already sufficiently charged with magic power before use, stored and amplified by a special magic crystal stone.
When it’s time to fire, it can be easily pleted through the full-scale monitoring control system.
Its power is at least equivalent to a magic scholar using magic at full strength, hence it’s named the magic guide cannon.
If the rank of crystal stone in the magic guide cannon is high enough, and the stored energy is sufficient, then it will be even more terrifying.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the casting material allows for it, it’s possible to even fire the forbidden curse.
As for the full-scale monitoring control system, we have made a simple one in our tribe.
I can demonstrate it for you right now.”
While talking, he walked from behind the desk to the center of the hall, pulling out a square box from his pocket, crouching down to lift a floor tile on the ground, and placed the strange box into the space.
“This is the key to the system.” Just as Guru finished his sentence, the entire room’s floor started shaking.
A stage about three meters high slowly rose from the ground.
It seemed like an altar, and in the center of the altar, there was a huge crystal ball held in the air by four peculiar metals.
This crystal ball had more than a meter diameter, it was pletely transparent and under the illumination of the light, it was shining brilliantly.
