Chapter 783: 249. Science and Technology → Magic


    “Let’s start by discussing the Metal Wizards from the core circle. What are the Deep Sea Branch’s ns for them?” Nnd asked.


    Selena replied without hesitation:


    “In the Deep Sea Branch’s ocean-going teams, Metal Wizards mainly have three tasks.


    “The first task is to repair damaged sailing ships.


    “The second task is to use metal bullet magic to shoot and kill pirates that appear on the ships from a distance.


    “The third task is to control the magical metal on the ships when the other team members are in battle, creating a protective barrier to prevent the ships from being destroyed by pirates.”


    Selena continued:


    “For the task of repairing damaged ships, Metal Wizards are temporarily irreceable, as only they can quickly use metal magic to restore the ships’ ability to sail.


    “But the work of remotely killing pirates and protecting our ships can be done by other types of wizards.<div>

    “In addition to recing metal-series wizards with other wizards, Hotams is also considering using magical devices on ships to enhance their defensive capabilities.


    “For example, installing magical circles on ships that can cast spells, or even cing magical turrets on the ships.”


    Nnd had seen the Deep Sea Branch’s team and their way of fighting at sea.


    Wizards were both crew andbatants.


    A wizard who could cast spells was the best “turret.”


    One serving of magical cuisine and a few magic stones were consumed for every hundred kilometers range, with automatic targeting, voicemands and intelligent responsive capabilities, plus self-maintenance and upkeep.


    Except forplex interpersonal rtionships that might affect the “shooting” efficiency, wizards were better in all aspects than real magical turrets.


    Many years ago, the Ulnas Circle abandoned the design concept of cing turrets on vehicles.


    In most cases, the Ulnas Circle would only ce heavy turrets on urban defensive facilities for use as strategic weapons.


    At this time, the bullet magic mastered by Metal Wizards showed its unique advantages.


    That is, the range and uracy of bullet magic were basically unrted to the wizard’s “spirit.”


    Before the magic projectile wasunched and before it left the wizard’s casting range, the wizard could manually calibrate the shooting direction.


    The projectile itself would also continue to fly until all its energy was exhausted.


    Based on these two advantages, the actual effective attack range of Metal Wizards could usually reach three to five times their own casting range.


    In a sense, Nnd thought that metal-series wizards who focused on magic bullets were simr to snipers on the magic side.


    Hotams’ decision to ce heavy magical turrets on ships was probably due to their range.


    This could, to some extent, make up for the firepower of the Deep Sea Branch’s ocean-going teams.


    “It sounds like the future ships of the Deep Sea Branch will resemble the alien interster ships I sawst time, Selena. Both use barriers and turrets to protect their ships…” Nnd said.


    Selena nodded in response:


    “Yeah, that’s right. Hotams was inspired by the alien ships, which is why he came up with this alternative n.


    “My eldest brother, Lonco Pomida, is currently working on developing lighter, more powerful magical turrets based on the weapons removed from the alien starship.


    “Of course, the final product will definitely not contain metal and should be made of wood or stone as the material for the magical turret.”


    Nnd raised a hand in question:


    “Wait, so you mean the Deep Sea Branch here has alien weapons from a starship?”


    “Yes, are you interested?” Selena blinked her eyes.


    Nnd pondered for a moment and said:


    “I am indeed interested in the things of aliens. Can you show me the real thing? I’m curious about their principles.”


    Nnd waved his hand:


    “I won’t take advantage of you for nothing, Selena. If you can show me what I want to see, I can provide you with some additional information about the Dread Sail.”


    Selena lightly pinched her chin:


    “Hmm… Thene with me, I’ll take you for a tour of Lonco’s magicboratory.


    “There are weapons and suspected ammunition removed from alien starships, as well as some other alien devices. These things are not only being studied by the Deep Sea Branch but also by other wizard forces involved in the process.”


    “Shall we go now?” Nnd looked at the clock on the tabletop; it was now past seven in the evening:


    “Won’t we be disturbing them?”


    “No, we won’t be. However, I can only introduce you to the research results of the alien devices and not allow you to take them away,” Selena said.


    “That’s enough. I’m just curious about the principles of the alien devices,” Nnd responded.


    Both of them stood up.


    Selena controlled a miniature ocean to descend from the ceiling.


    Nnd followed her into the spherical miniature ocean.


    After a dizzying teleportation experience, Nnd arrived at Lonco’s magicboratory.


    This ce was located underground in an ind within the core circle.


    The Deep Sea Branch had hollowed out the ind’s mountain to build arge-scale magicboratory.


    ording to Selena, this was the Deep Sea Branch’s Magic Laboratory 5, dedicated to the research of magical tools for fighting in the deep sea.


    Nnd and Selena were in the visitor’s room.


    The main entrance of the visitor’s room was transparent ss, allowing for a clear view of the magic servants drifting past the door.


    The whirlpool creatures made of liquid were transporting piles of magic materials to the end of the corridor.
