Chapter 53 There is still a problem

In the garden of the manor, Frederick ate Wesson buns in the pavilion, while listening to Diesel explaining the research results he brought while eating.

It was a steel tank the size of a can. The magic circle was outside the bottom of the hemispherical tank, and the other end was an opening with a diameter of 50mm.

"This spray can magic circle uses the latest spherical magic circle technology and air-casting technology." Diesel said proudly, "In this way, the magic circle can be made outside the iron tank, and the magic can appear and work inside the tank. Protect the magic circle from being destroyed by magic itself."

Frederick nodded, and then asked: "Is there any data to quantify its energy?"

Diesel was taken aback, thought for a while, and replied: "At present, there is really no recognized method to quantify the power of magic with numbers."

"Different people and places have their own judgment methods, such as how thick an iron plate can be penetrated, and how long it can take to melt a certain weight of iron."

Frederick curled his lips. This is a big problem. If there is no uniform quantity to determine the power of magic, it will be difficult to carry out future work.

于是这个世界上以后的学生们的课本上出现了“1腓特烈能量相等于1韦森力的作用点在力的方向上移动1米距离所做的功”、“亨利为每秒转换、使用或耗散的（以腓特烈为量度的）能量的多少”、“1卡罗莱娜是在1个大气压下，将1千克水提升1摄氏度所需要的热量”、“1玛利亚=1韦森/平方米”等韦森家族全家福。

But this matter can be discussed later, the most important thing right now is how to judge the power of Diesel's new invention.

After thinking about it for a while, Frederick said, "The function of this jet can is to propel the projectile instead of the bow and arrow."

"That is to say, the criterion for judging its power is how fast it can push a projectile of a certain weight."

"Faster arrows go higher, so we can quantify the power of this spray can in this way."

"My idea is this, hang a sandbag with the same length, size and weight of the rope, use this air jet tank to connect a section of round pipe, push a ball with a certain weight, and bombard the center of the sandbag at the closest distance."

"After the ball enters the sandbag, it will transmit its own power to the sandbag, and at the same time push the sandbag to move. The greater the force, the greater the maximum swing angle of the sandbag. This angle is the value of power quantification."

Diesel held his chin and thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "You are right. Some people use this method to compare the strength of swinging weapons. We can use it in this way."

Frederick nodded, and asked again, "What's the trouble you said this morning?"

Diesel said with some embarrassment: "Principal, you want this spray can to be held in the palm of your hand, but something went wrong."

"You also know that the power of magic is directly proportional to the amount of magic elements contained in the magic circle. If the width of the magic circuit is reduced by half, the material of the magic circle will be reduced to a quarter, and the amount of magic elements will also be reduced. When it reaches a quarter, the magic power also decreases."

"If the spray can was made the size of a finger, it would be much less powerful."

After hearing this, Frederick thought with the spray can in his hand, this is indeed a problem.

At this time, he remembered something, and asked, "If you speed up the speed of the magic element, can it strengthen the power of magic?"

Diesel replied, "That's something every kid in college knows."

"But everyone's spiritual power is limited, and the acceleration magic element also has a limit."

Frederick made a curious look when he heard the words, and asked, "So how fast can you push the magic element?"

Diesel said with some pride, "I'm fine. I've done special research to increase the power of magic, and it's considered top-notch in Constantbul."

As he spoke, he raised his palm to condense a ball of wind elements, and the wind elements inside were running at high speed.

"It's a pity." Frederick shook his head.

Diesel asked strangely, "What's the pity?"

Frederick smiled and said nothing with an inscrutable look.

The speed at which Diesel pushes the magic elements is very fast, but it is still a long way from the critical speed where they collide and cause a violent explosion.

Frederick picked up the spray can and asked again: "So, is there a magic circle that can speed up the movement of the magic elements inside the magic circle?"

Diesel replied with a "sure enough" expression: "Yes, there are, and the magic elements can reach a very high speed through multi-level acceleration."

Frederick followed his words and asked, "Are there any restrictions?"

"That's right." Diesel nodded, "Materials have magic resistance, and different materials have different magic resistance values. The magic resistance of magic circuit materials is much lower than that of the base material, so the magic element will have a lower magic resistance. Movement in a loop."

"The magic resistance effect of the material is related to the energy of the magic element. As the movement speed of the magic element increases and the energy increases, the magic resistance effect of the base material will become weaker, and finally it will be broken down and the magic circuit will be short-circuited."

Frederick blinked and understood the meaning a little bit.

Diesel finally said: "Because of the existence of magic resistance, the movement speed of magic elements has an upper limit. The higher the magic resistance, the slower the speed, and the more energy is consumed."

"I see." Frederick nodded, and he hasn't learned the lessons in this area yet.

He thought for a while and asked, "If magic metal is used for both the base material and the magic circuit, can it achieve the effect of increasing the speed of magic elements?"

"Yes, yes." Diesel showed a smile of lack of money, "Then the fee will go up. The funds approved by the university are not enough at present. If the principal can increase the funds, there will be no problem."

Frederick sighed helplessly, and said, "Let's do our best to reach the limit under the current conditions first. If it's big, it's big. When the time comes, give me the data, and I'll use it to make money before investing in the next step of research."

"Priority is given to testing spray tanks with a caliber of 50mm and 100mm, and the length can be relaxed."

Right now, it seems that the magic air gun still has a long way to go, but the prerequisites are almost ready, and the parts can be prepared.

Diesel replied: "No problem, I will arrange it, as long as the funds are sufficient."

Frederick pretended not to hear about the funding, pinched his chin and said in thought: "I think it's a waste to just throw solid projectiles far away. If it's a big projectile, can you decorate it with cheap things that can explode violently?" Woolen cloth."

After the cannon comes out, there is also the magic shield to face. Only when the magic shield is overloaded and collapsed can the target behind it be effectively eliminated.

Solid bullets are not impossible, but in the eyes of Frederick, who suffers from insufficient firepower, can they be called shells if they cannot explode?
If the magic bullet doesn't work, then you can only go to black powder.

"This is no problem." Diesel gave him a surprise, "There is a magic circle explosive activation technology, which activates the magic circle in a very short time through a large number of violent magic elements generated by the explosion of magic crystals. Magic crystals or magic cores can achieve very strong power."

"This method will seriously damage the magic circuit material, which is basically a one-time use."

Frederick thought there was a way to improve the spray can, but at last he thought it was okay.

But he immediately thought of something, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he told Diesel what he thought.

Diesel was startled, thought for a while, and said, "This can be done."

A bright smile appeared on Frederick's face, and he said, "Then do it."

Diesel immediately said, "The funds are not enough."

Frederick frowned and said, "After a while, the bearing factory, the sugar factory and the iron factory will make an inventory at the end of the year. Let me see how much money there is, and I will give you priority when the time comes."

"You can experiment in advance, and make a wooden model to try the theory. It's not a problem."

Diesel smiled and agreed after receiving the funding commitment.
