Punch needle, needle extractor, the next thing is... a screwdriver. Fang Plover groped among the pile of parts on the wooden table to find what he wanted. There was a screwdriver lying in his left glove.

The half-made clockwork goblin, the copper case has not yet been closed, and the gears and escapement inside are exposed to the air.

If you look carefully, you will find that this clockwork fairy is much more complicated than ordinary fairies. Where the communication crystal is usually installed on the 'messaging type' (ii) clockwork fairy, there is a complex mechanical structure - a set of

The rotary chamber device can accommodate seven millimeter diameter lead bullets, a total of six rounds, and is connected to a roughly two-inch long rifled iron pipe.

This is a clockwork fairy made by Fang Plover himself based on Arquette's drawings. Of course, it is directly improved on the type II clockwork fairy. Some details have not been polished and appear very rough. A major problem with this clockwork fairy is

It is overweight. The combined weight of the rotating chamber structure and the bullet exceeds 220 grams, which is nearly 130% of the load that the ordinary Type II Clockwork Fairy can carry.

Although generally speaking, there is a margin for power in flexible structures, so this battle elf can still fly, but its maneuverability, speed and maneuverability are greatly reduced.

He was using a screwdriver to carefully unscrew the screws on the left and right sides and put them into a small box aside. In the eyes of others, the work of the craftsman was imaginative, but in the eyes of experts, the most important thing was meticulousness and seriousness.

Fang Yu used the needle remover to remove an ear needle, let out a sigh of relief, and pinned the needle on the thick collar of his alchemist's robe - under the shining golden cross star - looking towards

Above, a set of magnifying glasses composed of multiple lenses covered half of the boy's rather delicate face.

He pushed aside a magnifying glass tube to prevent it from covering the system interface.

He raised his head and took another look at the properties on the interface.

The basic attributes are not much different from those of ordinary clockwork goblins, except that the total weight is close to one tower (thalia) pound, 550 grams. For a dexterous construction of this level, it is not lightweight.

At the beginning of the design, after seeing Arquette's design drawings, he understood that the primary problem of fighting goblins is weight reduction; but for this six-bore runner structure, he has almost reached the extreme with his current level of craftsmanship. If he wants to

To further reduce weight, unless we compromise on power, we need to make further progress in materials and processes.

But the attack power is only 23-31. This is mainly due to the lethality of the bullet. Like all firearms, it has 50% armor-piercing properties within the effective range. However, the effective range of this simple shooting device is actually very short.

Only less than twenty feet.

When Fang Plover uses it himself, he basically shoots at close range.

This power is already very small. No matter how small it is, it is just a toy and loses its meaning as a weapon. Materials are related to cost, and craftsmanship is related to level and skills, and these are not things that can be improved in a short time.

What's more, even if the weight is further reduced, 220 grams is already very light, and there is not much room for further decline.

To put it simply, this battle elf transformed from a type II clockwork elf had no potential for further improvement. He realized that it was time for him to design a dedicated platform specifically for the battle elf.

Over the past few days, the situation in the south, Miss Scarpet's warning, and the words the great wizard left before leaving, all made him vaguely aware of something.

And as Her Royal Highness the Princess's mission once again lost clues, the aerospace ship was being built in an orderly manner, and there was also someone to take care of the matter of the gray crystal - these days, everyone was rarely free.

But no one is idle.

Everyone is busy transforming the cognitive experience gained before into knowledge and skills, and real combat effectiveness.

The square plover is naturally no exception.

With the construction of the Siren, he can now generate a large number of cheap Clockwork Fairy substitutes like 'Grey' during battles. This means that the original Clockwork Fairy's role as a coolie has been transferred, and its manufacturing cost has also increased.

It's no longer as sensitive as before.

The 'gray-white' structure can be regarded as a simple clockwork fairy, but it does not have the ability to visually connect, and it cannot install explosive crystals - this is because Fang Plover is not yet able to realize the complex elemental structure of explosive crystals, as well as the detonating device.

, a series of problems with the stabilization device and the closed-loop device need to be solved urgently - and there is no communication capability.

Therefore, the upgraded Clockwork Fairy still needs to continue to have these three types of abilities.

Scout, liaison, attacker and launch suicide attacks when necessary.

He thought for a moment and decided to divide the clockwork goblins into three categories.

The first category is gray and white, which replaces the original "disgraceful" job of the clockwork fairy.

The second type is the efreet, whose main job is to launch suicide attacks. He has only one requirement for this kind of clockwork elf - that it is cheap enough - for this reason, he removed all unnecessary parts, including heat dissipation components, vision

There is no need for sound transmission, and even the balance system can be compromised.

It actually only has four necessary parts, core crystal, power, closed-loop device, and explosion crystal.

The redesigned Efreet is extremely effective. Not only is the price only one-third of the original, but after the weight reduction, its maneuverability, speed and controllability have been further improved. Now Fang Yu can call it a suicide machine.

.

The third category is fighting fairies.

Not only does it have to undertake the original reconnaissance and communication tasks of the Clockwork Fairy, but in order to cope with the challenges it may face next, it may need to be further strengthened, and at the same time, its 'combat' part of the ability will be enhanced.

This puts forward very high requirements for process design, and Fang Plover's original ability to embarrass people was naturally impossible to achieve - but after the previous classification, he now has at least one advantage, that is, to a certain extent

No matter the cost.

In this way, another village becomes bright again.

He continued to look down.

The dodge value is 1500. The dodge value of this level of flying structure is not low, but the word (-50) is marked in eye-catching red letters on the back; it means that due to overweight, the dodge value has suffered half the penalty.

Similar to this are mobility (-25) and dexterity evaluation (-30). Except for the flying structure, which has no balance attribute, all other attributes related to agility have penalties.

The universal Kingfisher Type II main core crystal used by type II clockwork fairies has the typical characteristics of core crystals designed by Kingfisher Workshop - large magic capacity, low magic output, long overload time, low overload increase. 200m magic capacity

Among crystals of this magnitude, it can be said to be the best among the others, but the output (bandwidth) per taliyah is only one-twentieth, only half of the usual one-tenth.

It is even more incomparable to the 'lion' crystal that Lotao is proud of——

Overload load is 35%, which means that the core output increases by 35% when overloaded. The temperature control of Kingfisher crystal is extremely excellent, which is also a major feature of this series of crystals - in the overload state, it takes up to 35% to heat up.

It takes nearly a minute to reach the critical temperature.

One-minute overload can also be a characteristic of the Kingfisher series. Although many people jokingly call the 35% increase in overload tepid, it is not considered an overload at all. But this does not change that there are still many people who favor this, so

Choose this series of crystals.

Fang Plover is a loyal believer of Kingfisher Workshop. After getting used to the feeling of overloading for a long time, who can go back to the state of counting the overload time?

The main core crystal is the top priority of a flexible construction. Whether it is power, visual crystal, sound transmission crystal, rotating chamber and firing structure, all require magic output. An excellent main core crystal

, which determines the battery life, explosive power and maneuverability of a flexible structure.

Fang Yu looked at the fighting elf and roughly went over his needs for this new 'platform' in his mind——

The new 'platform' was pre-designed based on the rough level of his next generation magic furnace - the Ed γae type.

The magic power capacity of the magic furnace named Ed βae has reached 2400m, and the magic output can reach up to one-third. The performance parameters of the upgraded version of the γ type are at least three times more than this level.

In other words, even if the part after the decimal point is omitted, the Ed γae magic furnace should be able to reach a capacity of 7200m and a magic output of more than 2000m.

Therefore, the performance level of the main core crystal of the new 'platform' can also be increased three times. Especially considering that I have divided the clockwork fairies into three categories in the future. As the main 'battle fairies', the performance level should be further improved.

.

The new 'platform' should have at least 50% stronger detection capabilities than the current ones to be able to cope with battlefield environments above level 20. It would be better to have some special abilities to make up for the lack of the alchemist's own detection skills.

In this way, the original ordinary visual crystal will be eliminated.

He has two options - one is night vision crystal, which is an invention of the Oshu people - it can enhance the visual ability in dark conditions, and has a bonus equivalent to the tenth level of reconnaissance skill level in terms of detail resolution.

become.

Basically, when looking for targets hiding under cover, its performance can be equivalent to that of a nightingale of about level 7.

Compared with professional scouts, this improvement is naturally not enough, but combined with the craftsman's powerful battlefield patrolling ability, it is also very useful.

This is actually the visual crystal used by the IV-type clockwork fairy ‘Night Owl’.

Another option is to capture crystals.

This kind of crystal is mainly aimed at dynamic targets, providing the detection ability equivalent to a level 15 scout in tracking dynamic targets - of course, such a powerful ability is naturally compensated for by paying a price in other aspects.

First, the capturer's field of view is extremely narrow, only half that of a normal clockwork goblin - narrowed from about 180 degrees to about 90 degrees. Of course, the narrow field of view can be compensated by multiple clockwork goblins, which is

For Fang Plover, it's not a big problem.

But another problem is that the requirements for magic power output of capturing crystals are very strict. Just a visual crystal requires 25m of magic power output per tower. If other systems are included, the magic power output must be at least 50m.

This has far exceeded three times the original magic output per 10m tower.

Even though he had originally preset a certain margin, that was not how he used it.

So Fang Yu thought about it again and again, and finally chose the Night Owl Crystal.

Then there is the attack system.

This is simple, improve the damage of firearms - it is nothing more than improving bullets, enchanting, or replacing the firing crystal with a more powerful one.

Fang Plover chose the simplest and crudest method and directly replaced the firing device with the firing crystal of the Seven-Type Lion Handgun. The powerful firing crystal is equivalent to adding more 'propellant' to the bullet, thereby further improving the bullet.

The muzzle velocity and kinetic energy kill.

After replacing the crystal, it is necessary to increase the weight of the bullet and replace the original low-power lead bullet with the standard bullet of the Seven-Type Lion Gun.

The attack power instantly jumped from the original 22-31 to 47-63, which was more than doubled.

It can be said that it has been upgraded from the original level where it can only kill unarmored and unprotected targets to a level where it can penetrate several millimeters of steel plates within its effective range (sixty feet).

Of course, Aitaria is not Earth.

On Earth, most people are unarmored targets, but in Aitaria, the protection level of a heavily armored knight of around level 14 (the average level of an ordinary guard), compared to firearms, is probably close to that on Earth.

The level of first-level bulletproof inserts.
