"Didn't you say that the elves' arrows can only shoot at a maximum distance of more than two thousand meters? We can shorten the distance to three kilometers."

As Captain Kuroge finished speaking, the two engineering warlocks fell into rare silence.

They did not consider the possibility of bringing the elves closer to hit them just now, but do they really have to bring the elves closer to hit them?

The pointed-eared things pose no threat to them at this distance, but whether they pose a threat at a closer distance is completely unknown.

"What are the chances of a warpstone bomb not exploding?"

Mirza asked.

"I don't know."

Esky rubbed his white beard with his fingertips, and he was also thinking about this issue.

"Maybe it will explode before it comes out, and then we will be destroying ourselves."

Of course, there is one sentence that is not said. If they get the blessing of the horned rat, the situation will be different. They were also considering this issue before.

As long as you release the spell called grace and murder or frame a ratman with sufficient status, you can get the blessing of the horned rat.

Then before the horned rat's blessing expires, they should be able to take out the power of the pointy-eared thing.

"So, minimizing the combat distance should be able to reduce the chance of malfunction."

The white-haired engineering warlock saw the brown-haired engineering warlock wink at him. He was about to say something, but then changed his mind.

"What he said seems to make sense."

With that said, the white-haired engineering warlock stopped his previous thoughts and patted Mobrier's shoulder while he was casting a spell, almost causing him to spill the nearly completed smelting metal solution.

"Then change it. The clerk will stop what he is doing and wait for me to finish the drawings and redo everything."

These words made the liquid metal in Mobrier's hands even more unstable.

"Redo?!"

Denying the sense of loss in his work, he felt extreme psychological pain. Extreme feelings brought extreme joy. In the sensory nerves transformed by Slaanesh, pain was also a kind of joy.

Such a morbid feeling made the secretary and the skin at the corners of his mouth turn purple.

The movements of operating the metal wind became faster and faster, and the liquid metal that was originally suspended in the air was poured on the base and turned into columnar metal.

Mirza looked at Mobrier like this and his black eyes widened. He was indeed a Slaanesh believer.

"The dark things are really useful. If you do this, he will be willing to work for you. However, as you go later, he will become more and more wantless."

He complained to the white-haired engineer warlock that, to be honest, he really had the urge to grab some similar gadgets for a moment.

Eski shook his head and dug a claw into Mobrier's newly healed back skin, and blood flowed between the claws.

"It's not that he has no desires, but that nothing in the world can satisfy his desires. Late-stage Slaanesh believers can only become Slaanesh's killing machines, so that they can occasionally get the satisfaction of the Dark Prince's rewards."
p>

As if to prove it, Eski pulled his claws out of Mobrier's body and brought out the smelly blood.

The spread of purple granulation did heal the huge wound on Mobrier's back, but his excitement level did not increase at all. There was a faint feeling of emptiness in his eyes.

Mirza nodded thoughtfully and said.

"The first experience will become the ultimate that no one has ever experienced in the world. How is this first time determined?"

"Mirza, I didn't expect that you are also curious about this."

The white-haired engineering warlock wiped his bloody paws with the rag hanging on his belt, and then said.

"How to judge this aspect, except for the Prince of Darkness, I'm afraid no one will know. I'm wondering if I can continue to develop different drugs to make him feel, if I can make him feel satisfied at least for a period of time."

Esky does want to know, if there is something else besides the Dark Prince that can satisfy the desires of Slaanesh followers, will they still be so fanatically loyal to the Dark Prince?

As for the fate of the experimental products? Engineer Warlocks don’t really care about this kind of thing.

If they do not betray the Dark Prince, they will be executed after the Engineer Warlocks have squeezed out all their value. If they do betray the Dark Prince, then their souls will be burned in the furnace of Slaanesh for eternity.

Of course, these believers probably still don’t know the latter fate.

The look on the white-haired engineering warlock's face became more and more fanatical.

Mirza glanced at Eski under the second vision, there was no blue energy, and then said.

"You are really becoming more and more obsessed with pagan gods. Is this considered deceiving the gods?"

However, this did not receive a response from the white-haired engineering warlock.

Esky just patted his face, as if to interrupt those feverish thoughts, and then said something.

"Okay, let's change the drawings."

The people on the stern deck, just after these words, started running like the factory production line in the Scully Industrial Zone.

"It's still 210 mm, but twelve times the diameter should be enough, if you only need to ensure an accurate hit of 3 kilometers."

The Warlock of the White Hair Factory said this to his colleagues on the side, and quickly drew another drawing on the paper. This time the design thickened the barrel, making the gun more like the mortar of the 19th century in the previous world.

.

It will be fixed on a towering iron frame that can adjust the angle of the gun barrel, so that even if the gun barrel is vertically upward, it is still a good distance away from the deck.

Three re-entry devices have been added to other places. Their function is not to ensure that the gun barrel can quickly return to its original position after the shelling, but to maximize the impact force of the shelling.

The dimensional stone boiler is installed above the barrel, and the bottom of the barrel is the device used to create dimensional lightning.

"Is it a closed barrel this time?"

Mirza pointed to the drawing at the bottom of the gun barrel. This time, he couldn't see the meaning of a breech-loaded gun.

"Because the barrel is shortened, most of the energy will be removed. We don't have to worry about the rune coil at the bottom. As for the dimensional stone boiler, we won't take risks."

Especially if you think about overloading the boiler.

Eski added to his thoughts in his mind that when he saw Mirza's determined look before, he knew that Mirza was probably preparing to overload the boiler.

He still hopes that this thing can fire a few more rounds.

The clerk looked at the drawings and soon started work again. The huge metal columnar structure turned into a towering gun mount, and the rest of it turned into gold water suspended in the air.

"That's it. Use the extra metal to make shells for cannonballs. I'm redrawing the drawings."

The shape of artillery has changed, and the shells must also change.

The white-haired engineer warlock quickly completed the drawing and asked the slave rat to hold it in front of the scribe, while Esky continued to draw another thing.

It was something similar to a cannonball, but the structure inside was more complicated than what I just drew.

"What is this."

Mirza came closer.

Spring, firing pin, detonating powder? What a strange thing, it looks like something from El Chapo, but it doesn’t have the runes of El Chapo.

"Just a small application of Sky Wind."

Esky said perfunctorily, but his writing speed became faster.

This is indeed the application of the Wind of the Sky, something that comes from the deep memory of the past world. Without the Wind of the Sky, he might not be able to recall it in such detail in his life.

This was a technical book he had read. It was about the detailed structure of British artillery shells during World War II, including detailed descriptions of the principle of the fuse, the composition of the detonating powder, the spring, and the placement of the paper.
p>

"Use a spring and firing pin to detonate? There is no need."

The white-haired engineering warlock murmured in a low voice.

Magic is a very magical thing.

For example, Dimensional Wind Howl, although its name contains the word wind, can actually be released underground, under the sea, or anywhere.

"This part can be achieved using a combined magic circle."

Eski thought, and quickly drew a combined magic circle on the paper consisting of the magic words of the elves and the magic words of the ratmen. It was the same rune that he had just drawn on another cannonball drawing.<

/p>

The first is a detection array. This detection array is similar to a proximity fuze, except that the detection range is changed to fifty meters, and the detected object becomes oak.

Use its part for circulating energy switches to outline a formation that determines the state of the previous formation, and the energy cycle from here is connected to the last formation.

If the detection array detects something, it activates the last array, which is composed entirely of rat-man runes, and delays the detonation of the dimensional stone bomb loaded inside.

Another part involves making a stabilizer to prevent the explosion of the warpstone bomb.

The dwarf's runes can be engraved on the same item at most three times, and they have already figured out which three they are: toughness, protection, and resistance.

Inside, the magic circle that maintains the dimensional position is engraved with the rat man's destruction rune. The activation rune of this magic circle is placed at the bottom of the cannonball. When the bottom of the cannonball begins to be filled with dimensional energy, the dimension will be immediately generated inside.

position to keep the internal dimensional stone bomb in a relatively static state.

This is all Esky can do. Other magics he has learned have not yet been found to help stabilize the internal structure.

"Mirza, do you have any other ways to stabilize the cannonball?"

Looking at the diagram on the paper, Mirza recalled it.
