Chapter 749: Chapter 13 Arcane Pathway and High-End Teammates (7200)_2
Ian calmly pointed out, "I canât use such a three-meter tall greatswordâin the end, only the Mountain Peopleâs Inheritance can use that since itâs Thunder Sect, so my armor suit canât use it either."
"Half a year is enough time for the Mountain People to come and sweep through a dozen times back and forth. At times like these, a loss is a loss, it was picked up for free anyway, I donât mind."
Ian might not mind, but Ambur, that kind of craftsman, would. But ultimately, this was the Lordâs property, so he could do whatever he wanted with it.
"The material is very good."
Since he had made up his mind to disassemble it, the bald craftsman thoroughly switched to a technical mindset, which was the reason Baron Leyan placed such trust in him and entrusted him with important tasks: "Lord, you mentioned giving up the âPrism Structureâ in favor of using a âMagnetic Storm Generatorâ... Thereâs no big issue. With the materials from the Thunderous Sword, we should be able to produce a finished product within about five days."
"As for the powered armor, itâs actually simpler. The Blacksmith Shop can handle it, thereâs no need for the Alchemy Workshop. If you donât mind, we can start work on both sides, manufacture them separately, and then under your supervision, assemble them together. What do you think?"
The bald craftsman asked cautiously.
Ian looked deeply at Ambur and smiled slightly, nodding his head, "Thereâs no need to be so cautiousâthe technical content of the powered armor isnât high, and the weapon system is just so-so. In the future, Iâm also going to hand it over to Nauman City; itâs your skill if you learn everything, and I would even make more use of you, so thereâs no need to avoid suspicion."
"However, do it as you say. But be quicker. If thereâs any issue with the Magnetostorm System that needs to be improved, come to discuss with me immediately. If itâs entirely unusable, then we can consider a third plan together."
"... Understood."
The craftsmanâs body trembled slightly, and he nodded deeply, grateful from the bottom of his heart.
The preliminary discussions were over, and it was time to move on to the technical details.
Honestly, Andor was quite surprised Ian could immediately come up with a second and even a third backup plan after one weapon system got rejectedâfor technicians, having several backup plans is normal, but for a noble lord in his teens to also have that kind of preparedness was truly impressive.
To him, the âMagnetic Storm Generatorâ was actually a familiar structure... wasnât this just a slight modification and reversal of the Lightning Attractor from Nauman Cityâs Alchemy Workshop?
Converting Origin Quality into electricity was a mature Terra Technology, and even Harrison Portâs Alchemy Workshop had a similar engine.
However, Ian had made some modifications to the structure and supplemented it with relevant Lightning Potions, allowing the Magnetic Storm Generator to instantly produce over two hundred thousand volts of electricity.
Andor could even imagine the sight of dozens of meters long and thick electric arcs bursting out from within the rectangular Magnetic Storm GeneratorâIanâs complete designs allowed a professional to directly envision the final result.
The only question was, how exactly did their lord come to possess the theoretically confidential blueprints of the Lightning Attractor?
So detailed, it was practically like remodeling based on the blueprint!
Ambur could only recognize that the device seemed familiar; he had never seen it before!
If he asked Ian, Ian would surely answer, âpicked up on the wayâ.
And indeed, that was the case.
When the boy first visited Nauman City, he toured the Alchemy Workshop and freeloaded everything he could... wasnât that picking up whatever he could?
The detailed modifications that seemed so refined to Andor were actually the result of Ian applying Earthâs technology, aiding the coil so the charge could be released in a directed manner, and by further supplementing it with Terraâs Inscription Art, it enabled the Magnetic Storm Generator to hit the enemy with ârelatively preciseâ electric currents.
Of course, missing the target was normal, so it was best to install it in squads for effectiveness.
This was also why Ian initially chose Prismatic Technology instead of Magnetostorm Technology for the weapon systemâelectricity, if it needed to be accurately targeted, could indeed only use Terraâs Sublimator techniques.
"Remember to add an insulating layer on the inner side of the Magnet Storm Power Armor, make it reliable," Ian instructed at last, "After all, our brave lads are not Thunder Sect Sublimators; they could easily get fried by their own electricity if they arenât careful."
"Completely understood."
Ambur nodded quickly, now somewhat eager to try out the weapon system designed by their lord, who was clearly also a person of technical backgroundâas someone passionate about related technologies, he was quite looking forward to the actual lethality of the Magnetic Storm Generator.
Everything began to fall into place.
As White Folks soldiers steadily escorted workers listed from workshops across the city, even joyfully delivering them back, Leyan Cityâs Alchemy Workshop began to gradually resume its most basic operations.
Yes. Now, the entire Alchemy Workshop barely had twenty or thirty people; they were short on several skilled craftsmen, and efficiency was certainly not high.
But Ian had never expected the workshop to run at full speed the moment he arrived, anyway.
The most important thing was to show the people of Leyan City that, under his command, the workers could begin to resume work and even produce weapons to protect them.
This would boost their confidence.
Thus, at least in the future, when he battles with the Mountain Peopleâs troops, the city in the rear wouldnât fall into chaos or fleeâthe population loss at that time, he didnât know how many refugees it would take to make up for afterward.
