Warhammer Throne

Chapter 623: , Steam tank (below)

The origin of the steam tank came from a Tilil, he was named Leonardo da Miragleno and was born in the city of Tilil 400 years ago.

This man was a painter. In Tilil, full of literary atmosphere, Leonardo started as a painter and sculptor and found a good job, but he soon became obsessed with architecture, engineering and physics. Among them, he was particularly obsessed with the dwarf steam armor. After spending years of hard work to understand the dwarf steam technology, Leonardo set out to make his own steam armor ship.

At that time, Tyril had no conditions for Leonardo to fulfill his ideals, so the famous big engineer began to serve the empire. His talents in muskets, artillery, and war machines made the empire complete the formation for the first time. The construction of firearms and artillery units, and the ability to mass-produce, Leonardo's genius concept and amazing talent made him quickly become the VIP of the empire.

So he began to try to build a dwarf steam iron armor that belongs to mankind and can cross the ocean.

It took more than ten years, after countless experiments, Leonardo cracked the dwarf's steam technology, designed countless armored ship drawings and written countless works on engineering and gunpowder. After spending many years, he Finally, a "steam armor ship" was built in a decent way, and then he wanted to accomplish his feat across the ocean.

The first test failed. After the hull entered the water, due to the severe overload of the compressed steam power plant, the whole ship had a big explosion. Leonardo was blown into the water and died.

But he did not give up. He firmly believed that his work was successful. Since it would not work in the water, he changed it to "Land Metro Armored Ship" and learned the lesson that the compressed steam power plant would explode. He reduced the size of the armored ship.

As a result, the steam tank, a super-human killer of this kind, was manufactured. In the remaining decades of Leonardo ’s life, he built twelve steam tank "prototypes."

Unfortunately, as Leonardo entered his later years, his thoughts were flooded with a new invention. He tried to make a flying war machine. He named this war machine "helicopter". When the real thing was created and the test flight was carried out, an explosion and crash caused the empire to lose their chief engineer forever and detonated the entire engineering school and his workshop, even with the drawings of the steam tank and more designs. Lost, so far, the Empire can no longer produce steam tanks as powerful as the 12 prototypes.

In order to restore the design of the steam tank, the Imperial engineers spent countless hours and energy on this. After trying to disassemble the internal structure, the engineers were surprised to find that the internal structure of each prototype is not exactly the same! This has increased the difficulty of recovering the prototype of the steam tank. In trying to disassemble the prototype to understand and test the internal structure, two prototypes were declared permanently scrapped, which shocked the emperor and the electors. The angry noblemen could not allow the super tank of the steam tank not to be used against evil but scrapped for the so-called "experiment" of the engineers, and ordered the engineers to be banned from dismantling the tanks for research.

Four hundred years have passed, and eight of the twelve prototypes are left. Two of them were completely destroyed in the war, and two were scrapped in the experiment.

The turning point of the matter appeared in the great jihad 160 years ago. When the savior Ludwig led the imperial steam tanks to the front, he was shocked by the strength of the steam tank. This super killer can With one's own strength against a whole chaotic warrior group, and against those giant beasts, even the strongest chaotic trolls can't withstand the steam cannon just right.

After the establishment of the new empire, the savior once again called the engineers of the entire empire to try to restore the drawings of the steam tank. This time they achieved some success. After spending decades, they copied the power according to the prototype. And the "conqueror-class" steam tanks that are inferior in size to the prototype, Nur has also become the only place capable of producing and repairing steam tanks.

"We have tried many times, but no new steam tank can be as stable and full of powerful power as the prototype." Gunter-Maybach, chief engineer of the Noor military factory said a little tougher: "But I want Say, the power of the steam tank made after that will not be too bad. Have you tasted the power of the steam tank in the battle of Hemgart? "

Ryan listened with a black face, and Maybach was talking about the battle of Hermgart, the battle between the Imperial Rick and Ivy forces and the Principality of Brittany Palaon, which was the battle of steam tanks joining the war Afterwards the situation was completely reversed.

Chief Chief Engineer This is ironic about the poor technology of your knight kingdom, so sorry to despise our Nur military factory can not produce prototypes?

Ryan had nothing to say about this, he had to counsel his shoulders to accept: "Well, please, Mr. Maybach continue to introduce us."

"Cough ~" Noor Chief Engineer thought why the crown prince of the Knights Kingdom and Ms. Huzhong's champions were not irritated. They were quite gentle and easy-going. His original dissatisfaction with Ryan disappeared. Less, Maybach coughed a few times, and then introduced: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, let's continue."

Maybach led the crowd towards the depths of the factory. In the extremely tight guard, a huge military factory room was opened, which contained seven or eight steam tanks. At the moment when Ryan and others appeared, advanced technology was present. Both the workers and the Noor engineers stopped, and they immediately saluted Emilia: "Welcome, Your Excellency."

"Very good, continue to do your business." Amelia nodded in awe, and then took her arms: "Sister Suria, how are you? These are the technological crystallization of human beings! Awesome? "

"It's amazing." Suria nodded to Emilia with a smile.

The crowd first led down to the first steam tank under the guidance of Maybach, and the chief engineer lifted the canvas.

Exposed to everyone is a steam tank with a yellowish color. Like all steam tanks, it consists of a car body and a rotating turret and a steam structure at the rear of the car body. It is about three meters tall and is painted a lot on the circumference. Coat of arms and emblems, including the Iron Cross, Skull and Warhammer of the Empire, including Noor ’s two-tailed comet and the golden griffin coat of arms, it is equipped with a collision angle, a three-tube rotating **** blast gun and a small steam gun with rotating turret .

"The first steam tank to imitate success." Maybach nodded: "In the initial work, we generally called it 'hell level' or 'old folk level'."

"As you can see, this steam tank is much smaller than ordinary steam tanks, and it is not equipped with a large steam cannon but a three-tube rotary **** blast gun, because the technology at that time was not mature enough, We can only use the prototype as a template to reduce the structure again and cancel the oversized steam cannon, the purpose is to cause a lot of damage in a short time. "

"Facts have proved that its power is indeed amazing. In a short period of time, hell-level steam tanks can cause huge damage to the enemy in an instant, but ... the same is true for ourselves. Before the production of hell-level stopped, we produced a total of five such vehicles. Hell-level tanks have since ceased production, but most of the hell-level tanks are still in service. "

"Hmm." Ryan nodded. Hell-class or old-daddy tanks were the first batch of imitations. After mastering imitation technology, Noor obviously would not mass-produce such tanks.

The second canvas was opened, and a very special tank appeared in front of everyone. This steam tank was not equipped with any armament, and even the rotating turret was canceled, and it was replaced by a larger angle of collision and a larger body. Its height is approaching three and five meters.

"Warhammer-class steam tanks, with all weapons dismantled, have been specifically designed to fight enemies in the cold weather of the north, where it is inconvenient to distribute and replenish ammunition. The modified and strengthened steam-powered structure is enough to knock down a whole troll "The devil." Maybach then introduced: "But obviously, this is not our original intention to design a steam tank, so we only produced two."

This was followed by the third steam tank. This steam tank had its rotating shells removed, an extra heavy steam cannon was installed, and two revolving bursting long-tube guns were installed on both sides.

"The ruthless-class steam tank canceled the rotating turret and gave the position to this super-heavy cannon. This tank is designed to deal with enemy war machines and monsters. The fire can be rotated enough to deal with two-winged enemies. The rotating turret made the tank faster, but it also greatly weakened the defense capabilities. We produced a total of seven, and now there are five ruthless steam tanks in service. "

The canvas on the fourth steam tank was also lifted. The steam tank canceled the rotating turret and changed to a small platform with railings.

"The tank-class steam tank is not a successful trial. It canceled the rotating turret and changed it to a platform, so that five to eight soldiers can provide fire support on the platform." Maybach pointed to the scarred platform: "Facts have proved the power It ’s really strong, but we need to train the soldiers to avoid dizziness or physical fatigue for a long time, and because of the weight problem, the speed is slow. We only produced three. "

Visiting these modified steam tanks, Ryan nodded again and again, and you can see that Noor's research on steam tanks was not confined, but has been trying to modify, these big empire engineers slowly explored the direction of progress in conservative .

"Conqueror class." The chief engineer pointed to the fifth tank. This tank was very consistent with the tank they saw, that is, a standard steam tank composed of a body, a rotating turret and a steam power unit behind. At about four meters high, the body is equipped with a large cannon, and the rotating turret is equipped with a small steam cannon, with a collision angle: "This is the closest version to the prototype, and the most produced version, since the conqueror-level drawings. After completion, the Noor Military Factory produced a total of 43 vehicles, and there are currently more than 20 vehicles in service. "

"Steam tank, it's an amazing engineering miracle." Lane noticed that there were three or four identical conqueror-class steam tanks in the plant. He nodded. "Today is really eye-opening."

"Finally, let us solemnly introduce to you, our pride of Noor, the savior!"

A steam tank with a height of five meters appeared in front of everyone. Everyone looked at the steam tank in surprise. It was completely repainted with black paint. The cross, the golden scales, the Noor golden lion, the skull, the golden The griffin decorated this huge war machine.

"The Savior, one of the twelve prototypes of steam tanks made by Leonardo-Thai-Milagleno. This tank has served the Empire for about four hundred years. It was once on the battlefield. Alone to deal with an entire chaotic warrior warrior gang, it once shattered the head of a demon prince, and its outstanding performance on the battlefield made it a legend. "Maybach said with pride:" The Great Jihad In the battle, the invincible savior followed the savior His Majesty Ludwig together, and it caused countless huge damage to the enemy. Even after His Majesty Ludwig left us, the savior inherited the road The will of His Majesty Dewig, it did not give up Nur, and whenever the war came to the most critical, we firmly believed that the Savior was with us! "

"It's the pride of our Noor." Amelia's face also had a faint triumph. The Empire Countess stepped closer to the Saviour and looked at the power of this steam tank prototype: "It's power ratio The conqueror-level imitations are much stronger. For 400 years, it has encountered many difficulties, but it has never failed. "

Ryan nodded with eyes closed, agreeing, and secretly thinking about something else.

good stuff! Really want!

Also, how does the steam tank look like Gundam, the prototype (prototype machine) will hang the mass production machine forever?

"The Savior is currently being maintained." Chief Mayor Maybach continued to introduce: "This is also an old antique. Even if we continue to replace parts and repairs, the Savior must be properly maintained. This is our Noor. The only remaining steam tank prototype. "

"What about other prototypes?" Ryan asked casually.

"Distributed in other provinces and free cities of the empire, such as the famous' Conqueror 'belongs to the Rick collar, the' Emperor's Wrath 'belongs to the White Wolf City, and the' Double-Tailed Comet 'belongs to Braunschweig,' M The Raglino 'belongs to Tarabeheim and so on ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Maybach nodded: "Only when these are the most critical will these big killers be dispatched, and let these prototypes join the battle together It is almost impossible. The last time these prototypes entered the battle together was more than 130 years ago. When a giant waaagh attacked Kalundborg, His Majesty Ludwig ordered three prototypes and six. The steam tank participated in the battle and defeated this big waaagh! And on the spot, he killed the green-skinned warlord Jitripa. "

"Well." Ryan nodded heavily, and he wanted to say something. Maybach waved his hand: "Okay, Lord Ryan and Mrs. Suria, you are also done. The tank needs maintenance. Please let us move elsewhere. ! "

Ryan and Surya both had a heart to look at again, but Maybach ’s attitude became tougher, and Emilia shook her head secretly towards Ryan. Ryan had to agree: "Okay, may I ask Mr. Maybach, in addition to the steam tank, there are What can you show us? "

The chief engineer suddenly hesitated, and Maybach held the wrench in his hand and gave a glance at Emilia.

My baroness?

"Show it to him, anyway, I won't be pregnant." Emilia said angrily.

"Okay, then." Maybach nodded and understood that he took everyone to a new plant: "Just, we have two brand new project plans recently."

"First of all, the mechanical horse technology!" A human engineer was riding a mechanical horse made entirely of machinery and was running back and forth on the open ground. The mechanical horse crushed all the obstacles on the road.

Ryan chuckled after seeing it, the mechanical horse reminded him of something.

Original work: Ishimori Taro.

"And ... a brand new giant war machine."

"We named it ... Land Cruiser!"
