─ ─ Villain warlords and artillery

I've been busy lately with a lot of things, and I haven't had time to encourage witchcraft.

But now the plans are free. Explore all sorcery!

What I am currently prototyping is a 120mm rifle cannon.

It's not a mistake to hear. I'm trying to build a 120mm rifle cannon.

I realized on that get-together day, but my current strength alone can't fathom the country right now. We need more firepower to confront fate. More powerful firepower than a machine gun, more powerful than a grenade launcher.

I also thought of it as an anti-tank rocket launcher, but still considered it lacking. So I was trying to build a 120-millimeter rifle cannon equipped with one of the main modern tanks, the Challenger 2.

Challenger 2 was one of my favorite tanks, and I also made models. Also about the internal structure, it actually touches the real thing at the Bobbington Tank Museum.

So it is not reckless to make the cannon itself.

The problem is loading shells.

"Somehow, can't you make this?

"Even if I made it, it wouldn't work."

It's Norm's uncle I'm talking to.

At first, I thought the only way to build a cannon was to make the gun bigger, but the problem arose with the development of an automatic loading device that the current main tank generally has.

The automatic loading device is activated by the power of the tank, not by recoil during shelling, etc. In other words, electricity and so on. This is the problem.

Magic can't produce electricity!

Elemental magic works on the spirits of water, fire, wind, and earth, but nothing in it produces electricity.

If, even if electricity could be produced, I would not be able to create such a complex mechanism as an automatic loading device in a literary woman. However, without the automatic loading device, the firepower will drop. It's not desirable for me to be looking for firepower.

"I wish I could move something made of magic."

"That's an impossible consultation. Once born, it works in the logic of this world until it is erased in association with nothingness. It's the same magic that keeps you from pouring arrows down on enemy land."

Ha. I'm stuck.

Although the automatic loading device has an image of video online, it is difficult to reproduce it by magic. Or impossible. I even thought about using hydraulics, but I don't know how to move an automatic loading device with hydraulics for a literary woman...

Is this something that you can't do more simply?

"Right! Turn your pistol up just like that!

A twinkle glisted in Picorn and my brain.

"Norm's uncle. How about this? This is how it moves, and this is how it moves, and that's how it shocks the pills -- the magic bills -- and dokan."

"Hmm. This is going to work, but this is going to get you the blast of magic bills used for the first launch. What are we gonna do?

"That's wind elementary and good luck to the friendly fairy Blau"

Norm's uncle nods as I write and explain a diagram on the ground.

"But is this something the human body can handle? Isn't the recoil awesome?

"It's okay because we exercise Blood Magic to the extreme!

Well, if you tried to handle tank cannons by hand, there would be more than that recoil, wouldn't there?

But it's okay! I have Blood Magic!

Dr. Wolfe said that if you can't use it, your muscles will pull a thousand pieces, but that can be eliminated by daily workouts. During this time, he jumped off the third floor of the school building with the Brad Magic exercised, but he hasn't had a single fracture.

"Well, I'll make it..."

Norm's uncle went into making a cannon that I designed.

And it is done in seconds of waiting.

"Done! This is a Type 07 120mm rifle cannon!

The only substitute I could say was a giant revolver.

It is a double action revolver, and if you pull the trigger, the shell will automatically be loaded and fired. Because I think I read in a military magazine that this is a safe structure that is unlikely to misfire.

"But it's big"

"Big."

The finished product is the size of a roll.

The revolver grip is a little kid size and the lever is larger accordingly rather than the trigger. And in addition to the foregrip on the side for stabilizing the shell, it is provided with an optical aimer for defining the aim.

This is to hold the grip with your right arm and pull the trigger across your arm to fire.

Huge pistol haunt. Can you handle me by fulfilling it?

"In the meantime, I'll give it a shot. shell loading,"

The shell used this time is a mock shell. Stuck in the warhead is the magic tag of a wind elemental that produces a smokescreen. The structure of the shell itself is no different from that of a grenade launcher.

"Blood magic, open it all!

Magic power runs through my body and strengthens my muscle strength and skeleton.

"Come on!

Fortunately, gunpowders, one of the causes of the weight of shells, have been turned into magic tags, so they do not weigh as much. Thanks to Blood Magic, I lightly set up a 120mm rifle cannon.

"Then the aim is a straw doll 3 km away"

Straw dolls are finally kept away from the outside of the ranch, waiting to become targeted.

"Fire!

The recoil resonates with the body, but Bradmagic knocked it off.

"Next bullet loading!

The revolver cylinder rotates and loads the next bullet onto the cannon. That's good, that's a success.

At this rate, I tapped into all five shells that were contained in the cylinder.

Incidentally, the fired gas produced in the revolver is transmitted by Brau in the wind, leaving me with only a hint of enthusiasm.

"What do you say! Hit rate!

I take a closer look at the target straw doll with excitement.

"Surprisingly..."

I can't help it because it's not computer-controlled, but the hit was two out of five.

"Well, it's a range attack weapon, and still..."

Here I flashed again.

Previously, when I was reading a Brad Magic book, it described how to handle simple tools using Brad Magic. An amateur researcher and subject who had never dealt with a knife in an experiment was instantly peeling a thin grape skin by Blood Magic, acting as a link between the tool and the body. As if they were using their hands to peel them off.

"Didn't this work?

I wonder if I could use this research for my cannon.

It doesn't make sense to just connect. It must be an extension of the hand and the eye, not an extension of the hand. Otherwise, the hit rate will not improve. To make sure it hits, you have to interact with what you set your aim for with your eyes and move the cannon.

In other words, we should interact with...

"All right, try it!

I'll try it if I can think of one.

I load five new shells and set them up, as I did earlier.

"Eh. To interact with Blood Magic, let the magic flow thinly onto the surface……"

Oh. If you poorly flush a large amount of magic power here, the shells will detonate. That's all we have to stop.

"Alright, and link the magic that is flowing in your body with the magic that is flowing in your subject………"

What I interact with is the grip that supports the shell and the forward foregrip. And it's an optical aimer. The magic flushed leads to the body and the grip feels like a part of the body. There is no obstacle to moving it.

And an optical aimer.

The optical aimer became visible to the eyes without having to peek in. An optical aimer reticle is displayed among the visual information flowing into the optic nerve. The reticle is now displayed in the center, but when you move the cannon, it moves in conjunction with it.

Depending on the angle of the cannon, the reticle moves, and when the cannon is raised, the reticle accordingly indicates information that the cannon is projected far away. I would have just said manpower optical distance gauge. If the shell is lowered, the information switches so that it lands closer.

Not bad. And then you put a straw doll in the middle of the reticle.

"Fire!"

First shot.

Hit!

At this rate I slam four shells into a straw doll.

All bullets hit. There was little effect from the hand brake, which definitely knocked the shell into the target. This was a huge success!

"Yikes! Yay!

I cheer alone as my surroundings are surrounded by the high temperature air of the firing gas.

"Master. Have you succeeded?

"It's a huge success, Blau! Perfect!"

That's what I said in the guts pose, even though Blau leaned his neck in surprise.

"That's good! Blau was also worth the help!

"Yeah, yeah. I'll give you cookies later."

It's a revolver-style rifle cannon because Blau is transmitting the firing gas. If it weren't for Blau, it would be a big burn.

"You……. What are you going to do with such excessive force?

"You said that before. Stop beating your fate."

With this, the firepower of our army soars.

The problem is that we can only fire a maximum of five shots in a row so far. The revolver formula is a hassle to reload, so we have to do something about it.

Because this world has a lot more capacity than what is common in fantasy games, no strange bags or anything, it's also a problem that we have to carry magic bills and make them on the spot instead of carrying shells in an instant usable form.

If these two problems can be solved, I can assure you that the firepower has improved.

Well, are you satisfied with the cannon now?

The solution needs to be studied.
