Chapter 986: Killing machines on the battlefield of the future

"Hey, Gregory, I heard you are getting married too?"
Gregorian had just arrived at the headquarters of the R&D department, but he heard Calvin's gloating voice.
He sighed, even though Calvin's reaction was expected long ago, but after hearing this voice, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"With the second daughter of a certain knight family, a stupid woman who wants to go to the battlefield to learn something with sword skills!" Gregory replied lightly, then looked at Calvin, "It's you, where is my'War Machine'?" "
Seeing Gregory’s reaction, Calvin was slightly bored, pouting his lips, and was interested in the lack of authenticity:
At Proving Ground No. 4, there is a big place there. Is it true that the'Blood of the Earth' is useful? Why am I? Feeling a little unreliable?"
"If coal is burned, the volume of the War Machine may need to continue to increase, and some of the load and some armor need to be set aside to carry coal." Gregorian analyzed while walking, "But' the earth The "blood of the blood" releases much more energy than coal, and even pure coal can hardly be compared to the "blood of the earth" which is not of good quality."
"Also..." Calvin simply nodded in agreement.
Gregorian had aimed energy at the "blood of the earth" rather than "coal" when he first designed it, so when he built the prototype, he had some doubts.
After all, for decades, the energy used by the steam engine has been "coal", and the "blood of the earth" that has just been developed soon will be put into use in this "war machine", even Calvin. Can't help but have some doubts.
The change of any kind of energy takes at least ten years. It seems that there are still some imperial nobles who still cannot believe that even ordinary people can easily control the ``thunder in the sky''.
If you want to change the old ideas, in addition to using time to subtly change, you can only tell them with a shocking fact that the times have changed, otherwise, no one will believe.
Gregory looked sensible, but in fact he was quite radical. Many reforms were pushed by him. Without him, the current empire could not be like this.
‘Earth’s blood’ seems to him to be a powerful energy source that can replace coal, so it’s like the introduction of ‘electric energy’ and ‘magic energy’. He now hopes that the entire empire’s steam engine will be replaced.
It is a pity that his idea is unlikely to succeed. Those with vested interests will not become fans of this new type of energy. They will still preach that coal is the best choice for steam engines-on this vast land, There are many territories producing coal, but there are fewer territories where the'blood of the earth' is discovered.
However, these things have nothing to do with them for the time being. This kind of reform concerning the destiny of the entire empire cannot be started so easily. The most important thing now is the'war machine'.
Gregorian and Calvin came to the "Fourth Proving Ground" of the R&D department, and the huge machine stood in the center of the site.
It looks like a majestic giant, covered in full armor, protecting every part of the body.
The black armor looks quite rough and has a simple and rough aesthetic. Except for some steam pipes that must be exposed outside the armor, the rest of the important parts are wrapped in armor.
Due to the design problem, although it is tall, it needs to develop horizontally. Its broad shoulders and thick waist make it look kind of ‘stable’ at first glance.
The legs are covered by the skirt that grows to the ankle, and the whole body is up and down. Only the hands look so light, but this is also contrasted by other parts of the body.
Its hands do not have ten fingers that are as flexible as humans. Except for the thumb and index finger, the other three fingers are combined into a flexible steel plate.
The index finger and thumb are also to meet the shooting needs, otherwise, there is no need to design fingers.
Its weapon is placed on a stand next to it, it looks like an enlarged version of the'rifle', with the function of bursting, and the barrel can also multiply accelerate the'bullet', which can ensure that even if it is not used 'Magic bullets' can also cause huge damage to enemies.
The armor on the body is divided into three layers. The outer layer is made of a metal with ‘devil-like nature’. The middle layer can reduce shock and explosion damage. The inner layer is inscribed with a ‘heat absorption’ magic circle.
This thermal energy will be recycled and used as a reserve energy source, or to "burn up" its melee weapons.
This war machine uses all the high-end technologies of the R&D department and the manufacturing department, which is the wisdom of the two departments.
It is nearly thirty feet tall, just a little bit less, and can be higher than the surrounding walls.
Looking at this beautiful ‘artwork’, Gregory took a deep breath and turned to ask Calvin Shen, who was also enjoying the masterpiece:
Are you ready to load some weapons at the joints?

Calvin suddenly froze, blinked, then pointed at the ‘Black Armor Giant’ and asked in horror,
Isn’t that enough?

Gregory nodded slightly and said seriously: "I think it can be loaded with more weapons. After all, it was invented to harvest the enemy's lives on the battlefield!"
After swallowing, Calvin suddenly found out that he was too young to look at the mechanic who was born in the knight family.
It seems that all of his brains are "fighting", "war", and "killing". If it is other things, it is okay, but in the study of weapons, it is absolutely necessary to fight with other people according to reason, trying to create more terrible Weapons.
Calvin knew about Uncle Gregory and understood why he did such a thing, but he couldn't understand his thoughts.
"That's enough..." Calvin sighed. "Even if it's used in a war with the Arcane Empire, it's already powerful enough, and its output has even exceeded our expectations. Now we need It’s about working on other weapons."
Gregory's mouth was squeezed tightly, his face tangled, and he seemed to be doing a psychological struggle.
"Okay..." After a while, he exhaled, "So then!"
Calvin rarely heard the impatience in Gregory's words, but he didn't care, after all, as expected.
"So, how about driving?" Gregory looked back at the war machine, showing a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
"Speaking of this..." Calvin smirked suddenly, "We are installing thermal insulation... And the driver also needs to wear a special "driving suit", after all, we use steam power, and It’s so tightly wrapped. If you don’t make these preparations, maybe the fighting will only take ten minutes, and our pilots will be familiar. This is unacceptable, right?

Hearing Calvin's words~EbookFREE.me~Gregory dropped his head slightly, sighed, and looked a little disappointed.
This guy really wants to drive up!
Calvin licked his lips nervously. If not what he said just now, maybe Gregory has already proposed to test the performance himself.
"So, when will you be able to enter the battlefield?" Calvin suddenly fell silent when he heard this question from Gregory.
Sure enough, this guy from the traditional knight family is like this. Even if he is quite excluded from entering the battlefield, he still has a "war first" thinking in his mind.
"In actual combat tests, it will take a period of time for testing..." Calvin estimated the time. "It will take at least two or three months!"
"Two or three months..." Gregory turned his head to look, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Seeing his expression, Calvin knew that it was over!
