Chapter 587 - 587 587 Two Different Models

587: Chapter 587 Two Different Models 587: Chapter 587 Two Different Models After this period of research, with Zhao Guang’s power and perspective, the new sniper rifles had mostly been figured out.

The captured sniper rifles were powered by magic power.

Although they also used cylindrical bullets, the propulsion behind them was directly driven by magic power, specifically death magic.

This magic power simply wasn’t compatible, so the entire process was very wasteful.

Zhao Guang also figured out why there weren’t any measures to prevent disassembly, and why not many of these sniper rifles were produced, as they were not only complicated to make but also highly wasteful.

With such magic power, it seemed better to directly release spells in their view.

But in Zhao Guang’s eyes, it was different, because it gave him an idea.

After replacing the death power with magic power, Zhao Guang found the propulsion was stronger, and the effect had improved by thirty percent.

However, it was still extremely wasteful, and the cost-effectiveness was far from sufficient.

The sniper rifle was originally supposed to use a magic crystal stone, but using a large one would be wasteful.

If one used a small magic crystal stone, achieving full effectiveness would require further modifications.

After several days of effort, Zhao Guang finally took inspiration from the effect of the arcane missile and transformed the magic power into arcane power, generating a huge propulsion force.

With this propulsion, the recoil was very small, and the bullet launch was very stable with greatly enhanced speed and penetrating power.

Most importantly, this thing was still consumable.

Because it must match the magic runes on the bullets and the gun itself to work effectively.

This was something Zhao Guang deliberately made so that he could maintain complete control over the weapon.

Otherwise, who knows if one day these weapons might turn against him.

If now someone tried to use these against him, he could instantly make their bullets completely ineffective.

“Looks like, I need to modify the firearms here too,” Zhao Guang said.

After thinking, Zhao Guang decided not to modify the barrels of those sold, as firing ordinary bullets would suffice.

Those used in his own territory could partly be modified to fire Wind Fire Bombs.

As for further improvements, that would require better materials and wouldn’t be cost-effective.

Next, Zhao Guang immediately put measures in place to prevent tampering, and then planned to wait for the mages he was hiring to arrive, and he would sign contracts with them to handle the machining.

As for other parts, hadn’t he already handled machine tools manually?

He could just use that to manufacture them.

The effectiveness of this machine tool was apparent right away; he needed to produce more.

Why not just take the time to set up a local factory directly?

The new machine tools wouldn’t need measures against tampering either.

After clearly researching the firearms powered by magic power, Zhao Guang began to study another type.

For the Beastmen, those would have to be made more roughly.

At the very least, if discovered, it wouldn’t be assumed to have anything to do with him.

So Zhao Guang directly improved the firing mechanism from those on Earth, using not gunpowder but compressed air.

The magic array also set the firearms and bullets to work together, extracting the surrounding air upon activation.

This would create a noticeable phenomenon nearby, easily spotted if too close.

Once this was noticed, the Empire’s people certainly wouldn’t think their items were made by the same group.

And wasn’t there also an imitation by the Undead Mage that could serve as proof?

After air compression, activation was needed again to fire the bullet.

This created a disparity in shooting speeds.

Moreover, the bullet types were different; the Beastmen’s bullets were made of ordinary steel and shaped like ellipsoids, unlike modern bullets.

The bullets powered by magic power were similar in shape to current bullets, but for stability, they were made of copper.

Yes, they weren’t steel bullets heads, Zhao Guang had distinguished them by material because, with magic power as the base propulsion, even copper-made bullet heads could be fired further.

As for the hardness, it was even less of a concern, since once fired, there was magic power attached.

While this layer of magic power didn’t last long, during its effective time, it could elevate the hardness of the bullet heads by several levels.

Whether stability, attacking range or speed, all were far beyond the prior version.

So there was no way for the Empire to discern a connection between the two.

As for the batch meant for Beastmen, those could only be sold at a lower price; he believed they would also notice the lesser quality.

But Zhao Guang knew the character of the Beastmen well; with the same amount of money, being able to buy more sniper rifles, they would definitely choose quantity.

After all, in their view, more quantity naturally meant more firepower.

Another important reason was that Beastmen were relatively poor,with fewer resources.

Not because they had limited resources, but because they hadn’t developed them themselves.

Very well, these two models would suffice.

First, he needed to ensure their anti-counterfeit measures were in place and then hire suitable mages.

His seven-floored Mage Tower was just one step from completion; he’d take the time to finish it himself.

Once done, recruiting some mages to serve under him would be much easier.

And Magic Contracts, something every Mage Tower had, after all, no one wanted their secrets exposed.

Good, the plan was sound.

He hadn’t even finished studying the anti-counterfeit methods when it was already time to start the last step of the Mage Tower.

Zhao Guang had no choice but to temporarily put aside his current tasks and head to the Mage Tower.

He spent two days setting up the magic arrays and runes inside the Mage Tower.

In an instant, the entire Mage Tower was emitting a layer of bright light, the glow of pure magic power.

However, this magic power vibration around it produced spatial fluctuations, declaring his identity to others, that he was a mage of the Silver Tower.

It became easier for his own Mage Tower to control space power.

As long as he later learned a large-scale space magic and integrated it into the Mage Tower, then the Mage Tower would be truly formidable.

However, not many could achieve this; he’d see the effects later.

“Next, have someone survey all the magic nodes in my territory for me.

I want to build multiple Mage Towers and connect them together,” Zhao Guang planned to assemble a network of Mage Towers.

Once assembled, the magic power of his territory would reach a peak.

That was something not even the Imperial City could achieve.

After all, such a feat not only required a huge amount of wealth and resources but also needed a very powerful mage to oversee.

Such mages normally wouldn’t engage in this sort of thing, as it offered no personal benefits.
