Chapter 303 The press conference is coming soon

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The trebuchet they developed here can already throw stones weighing about 50 kilograms [-] meters. Although most people think there is still room for improvement, they demonstrated at the press conference is enough.

It was possible to make it so quickly thanks to Felisa, who put forward many clear and effective theories.

For example, regarding the instability of the support, Felisa recalled the geometry in middle school, and she proposed that the triangle is the most stable structure. According to this idea, they made the support stable.

If they were asked to do their own research, they would have to repeat the experiment several times before they could find this conclusion. However, Felisa didn’t need to experiment at all. Explain, but the time is really urgent, so I will do as she said, and the result will be happy for everyone,

This somewhat relieved Felisa. After all, she stayed in the manor, and it was really embarrassing for her to make no contribution at all.

On the night before the press conference, Olivia rushed to the manor overnight, and she organized a team to push the trebuchet to the press conference site.

Although the wilderness of the press conference was not far from the manor, the trebuchet after several improvements was heavy and bulky, and it was too cumbersome to move. Fortunately, Felisa had thought of this a long time ago. Time to add wheels.

Olivia frowned and watched: "No matter how powerful this trebuchet is, the difficulty of carrying it is the biggest disadvantage."

It took five or six people to push the trebuchet forward. Flat ground was okay, but it would be a headache if it encountered a place with changing terrain. It was far inferior to the flexibility and convenience of the Magician Legion.

"In this world, how can it be so easy to have both?" Felisa just shook her head, looked at the trebuchet, and then cast a wind magic on it to ease the difficulty of pushing it.

Is magic bad? Of course it is, but the threshold for learning magic is controlled by the nobles. Only the nobles have the right to learn magic. If the common people want to gain the power to compete with magic, they must either practice physical skills hard or use other powers. Well, when the level of science and technology develops and guns are available, then magicians have nothing to fear.

"The trebuchet is heavy," but Olivia had other concerns. "If an ambush occurs, the trebuchet cannot be preserved, and on the battlefield, if the opponent's magician destroys the trebuchet first, then our efforts will be wasted." .”

"The trebuchet can throw stones weighing about 40 kilograms three to 20 meters. If it is a lighter stone, it can be thrown farther. After that, my uncle will start to study how to increase the range of the trebuchet," Felisa knew. "No matter how powerful a magician is, the distance that can control magic is only [-] meters. The trebuchet is beyond the range that a magician can control."

What Felisa said is right. The larger the magic, the more precise the control is. The distance is too far, and even the magic circle can't be seen clearly, so there is no need to talk about control. Therefore, the magician will try his best to control it within his control. Within the range, otherwise the magic cannot be cast, and the magician will have to bear the consequences of the return of the magic power.

20 meters is the limit of manpower, but the range of the trebuchet can be improved. Even if there is no stone of [-] catties, the power of throwing a stone of [-] catties from a high altitude is beyond human ability.

Not to mention, they also combined trebuchets with goddess kisses.

When the trebuchet was moved to the site, the morning star had already been seen in the sky, and the sun would rise in a while.

Felisa looked around and saw that there were a lot of things on the bare hill, such as parasols for sunshade, exquisite small tables, neatly arranged chairs, beautiful potted plants, etc., which must make visitors feel comfortable.

"There are quite a few similarities with the racetrack in Wangcheng." Felisa said with a smile.

Olivia was a little surprised: "I did refer to the layout of the racetrack. Has Felisa been there before?"

"I've been there once or twice," Felisa recalled the scene when she went there, with a corner of her mouth curled up. "The place is really dark."

But that place was confiscated by the royal family, and now there is nothing left.

Since Olivia asked this, it proved that she had been there too, but she obviously didn't like it very much, so she frowned when she mentioned it: "That kind of place should be wiped out."

While talking, the adjustment of the trebuchet has been completed. After several attempts to confirm that there is no problem, Felisa and Olivia breathed a sigh of relief. Barely squint for a while.

But it was only for a while. When the sun first rose, they got up and simply washed up under the service of the maid.

Next, just wait for someone.

The first to arrive was the army headed by Nannuo, who came from Wangcheng.

"There won't be any mistakes today, right?" Nannuo looked at Olivia and asked, "You know, His Highness Fred is also waiting for the result of this press conference."

Olivia raised her eyebrows, unwilling to lose momentum: "Of course, please report the truth to His Highness."

Olivia's self-confidence could be heard as soon as she said this. If she didn't have confidence in the press conference, she would probably bother Nanomei with a few words, but she said that she would report truthfully, proving that she believed that the effect of the press conference would make the royal family feel more confident. satisfy.

Felisa quietly pulled Olivia: "Your Highness also knows?"

Seeing that it was still early, Nannuo brought people so early to arrange soldiers to protect the venue, so Olivia pulled Felisa to a hidden place and whispered to her.

"You are my sister, and I won't hide it from you. My mother's marriage contract was with someone else," Olivia said slowly, "This marriage contract was made by the royal family. I came back after getting married, but at that time there was a change in the demon clan, my mother went back to Cliff City first, and we will talk about the marriage later, but the fiancée eloped with someone while his mother was fighting."

Felica was dumbfounded. This is a big gossip, and most people can't hear it. She blurted out and asked, "Why?"

There is no such thing as marriage in this world. What's wrong with a son of a nobleman who cannot inherit the title and marry a nobleman who is sure to inherit the title? Why run away?It can't be because of love.

It is difficult for her to believe that nobles have love without seeing it with her own eyes.

Olivia said vaguely: "Mother has a more serious personality."

Felisa understands that Viscount Cliff is so serious even to his own daughter, let alone others. It is estimated that the nobleman who grew up in the gentle town cannot accept Viscount Cliff's temper, and dare not face it publicly. Confront the royal family and run away.

"This is really courageous." Felisa said sarcastically.

Olivia didn't dwell on this topic, and just continued: "Then my father saved my mother's life on the battlefield, and my mother wrote to the royal family expressing her willingness to give up that engagement, as long as she is married to my father."
