Chapter 1537 Harpoon Gun (2)
Before Luo Ji could express more emotion, Ye Xuan, who had also returned to the shore, had already brought another harpoon with a look of excitement.
Seeing Luo Ji with the harpoon, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he had an ominous premonition.
"Enhanced Edition?"
Although Luo Ji didn't see any difference between this harpoon and the harpoon she used before, but according to Ye Xuan's temperament, if it was the same thing, she wouldn't be so excited.
Therefore, the answer Luo Ji could think of was that this harpoon must be an improved and enhanced version.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded vigorously.
"Uh, magic weapon?"
Ye Xuan nodded again, darling, Luo Ji had a stomachache when he nodded, but finally picked up the magic harpoon.
I don't know if it's his illusion, but the weight of this spell harpoon seems to be lighter than the ordinary harpoon before.
At the same time, after scrutinizing it, Luo Ji, who couldn't find the spell, couldn't help but feel even more puzzled...
"What's the matter? Didn't see the incantation?"
"Hum hum hum~"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan let out a smug laugh.
"Your Majesty, the shaft of this spell harpoon has two layers."
"The incantation pattern is engraved on the inner layer?"
Luo Ji was a smart person, and he knew everything, but at the same time, he couldn't help but have doubts again.
"However, why make it into two layers, isn't it more convenient to directly engrave it on the outside? In this case, the production efficiency can be further improved, or is it designed like this because of some special effect?"
In response, Ye Xuan smiled again...
"Your Majesty, in fact, the materials of the two layers are different."
Hearing this, Luo Ji had some guesses in his heart, and then raised his hand, motioning for Ye Xuan to continue.
"The outer layer, as you can see, is made of alloy, but the inner 'core' is made of elven spirit wood."
Luo Ji, who had confirmed the answer, suddenly had a flash of clarity in his eyes.
"It turns out that, no wonder I think the weight of this spell harpoon seems to be lighter than the previous ordinary harpoon. Is that the reason?"
But at the same time, Luo Ji, who learned the answer, inevitably raised another doubt...
"However, if you do this, it should affect the strength and power of the harpoon, right?"
She probably guessed that Luo Ji would ask such a question, and Ye Xuan spoke again quite simply...
"Theoretically speaking, this is true, but this harpoon is blessed with magical power, so even if its own strength decreases, the power of the harpoon with the blessing of magical power is still far stronger. than a common harpoon."
"However, there are some disadvantages. Unlike ordinary harpoons that can be reused as long as they are recovered, this magic harpoon, after launching an attack, the magic power of the small magic crystal inside will be exhausted. At the same time, the spiritual wood inside will also break because it cannot withstand the strong impact, in other words, it is a half-disposable item, which I specially made for the giant beast unit."
Obviously, it is a high-cost consumable, but compared to using star sand, the spirit wood is still within Luo Ji's acceptance range.
As I said before, the spirit wood is divided into several grades from different years. The older the spirit wood, the better the effect of the engraving spell.
Take the magic arrows of the elf tribe as an example. Ordinary elf magic arrows use spiritual wood that is less than a hundred years old, while high-level elf magic arrows have to use spiritual wood that is more than a hundred years old.
If you want to engrave a more powerful spell, the age of the spirit wood will be higher, and at the same time, the power and effect of the spell will be stronger.
In a huge forest of elves, there are still quite a lot of ordinary spiritual woods under a hundred years old. Otherwise, how can they withstand the arrow consumption speed of elves sharpshooters?
The spiritual wood in this spell harpoon uses ordinary spiritual wood, which is relatively large compared to the star sand, which has an extremely limited output.
Of course, this 'more' is also relatively speaking. If you compare it with ordinary materials, it is also a properly rare material.
And the production of this spell harpoon is clearly based on the design of the elf magic arrow. This time, Carl probably helped a lot.
With this thought in mind, Luo Ji's gaze subconsciously swept over Carl.
Feeling the sight of His Majesty the Emperor, Carl, who has been honestly beside him, bowed slightly and saluted.
Compared with Ye Xuan, who is quite familiar and casual, Carl is still a little cautious when facing him.
However, this is also impossible.
Because in fact, the elves are a race that pays great attention to bloodline and status.
For example, the elf kings are all descended from the blood of the elf royal family of high elves or gray elves.
Now, let's get back to the topic, Luo Ji didn't do the harpoon experiment, every one is money! I almost have a number in my mind.
Judging from the power of the harpoon gun's magic shooting, if it is paired with a magic harpoon, the power is estimated to be equivalent to an underwater cannon.
In order to deal with the deep-sea behemoth units like Hydra, burn some money and empty his inventory, Luo Ji also recognized it.
However, the focus is on the means to deal with ordinary murloc units.
In the face of the army of murlocs, at least a thousand of these harpoon guns must be built before they can come in handy, right?
If it's only a few hundred, it doesn't make much sense.
In this way, Luo Ji hurriedly confirmed with Ye Xuan the manufacturing cost of this harpoon gun.
There was no surprise that star sand appeared in the material list. Luo Ji was already mentally prepared for this. No matter how talented Ye Xuan was, it was impossible for him to be talented enough to create a magic weapon without using magic materials. The key was how much he needed.
Prepared for the hemorrhage, Luo Ji slowly moved his eyes and looked back. When he saw it, his expression suddenly froze. The demand for this star sand was unexpectedly low...
As a person with a full set of magic equipment, Luo Ji still knows a lot about the consumption of these materials.
Under normal circumstances, casting spell armor requires the most amount of star sand, while spell weapons consume different amounts according to the size. In theory, the smaller the size of the weapon, the more star sand it needs to consume. less.
And the size of this harpoon gun is not small, but in fact, the consumption of star sand is only one-third of the standard level...
"Carl, only need so much star sand? How did you do it?"
Luo Ji subconsciously thought that this should be Carl, a top-level elf craftsman, who had thought of some way, or some new breakthrough in his skills.
But in the end, Carl shook his head in shame.
"Your Majesty, this time, it is thanks to Deputy Minister Jiang Zhan of the Ordnance Research Department."
