Admiral of Hogwarts

276 New Equipment (Part )

Hugo was very satisfied with the secret industrial center built by the ship girls. Because whether it is war or peace, manufacturing is an indispensable part.

"The output of our current base has actually exceeded normal demand, but our shipment volume is not large because we currently have a large project that has a huge demand for this type of magic metal. "

After visiting the construction site under construction, the Soviet Union opened a secret door in the wall, and then led everyone deeper underground, explaining at the same time.

"In addition to strengthening the ship, we also need these metals to manufacture various magic machine tools and some war structures to prepare for future expansion of production and possible wars."

"I thought those machine tools of yours were modified from ordinary machine tools that were purchased." After hearing what the company said, Hugo also realized what was unusual about those machine tools.

"At first we did think about buying machine tools for modification, but later we found that modifying the machine tools would not be easy to use anyway when the needs were different."

"So we chose to design and manufacture by ourselves. Finally, we came up with a batch of machine tools suitable for wizards." At this point, the Soviet Union showed a proud look on his face.

It is not strange that ship girls can design machine tools. After all, their bodies have extremely complex mechanical structures, so they are born with a full understanding of mechanical knowledge.

Not to mention that there are existences like Indomitable or Salem who are proficient in magic among them, so they can naturally combine a large amount of knowledge in a short period of time to create this series of machines specially prepared for the magical world.

"We're here." After walking down the slope for about fifty or sixty meters, they came to a huge iron door. Then Soviet Union took out a magic wand and tapped lightly on several patterns on the iron door.

Soon, the iron door slowly retracted to both sides, revealing a huge space inside.

"Ha-Terracotta Warriors and Horses." When the lights came on in the space, Hugo was surprised to find that he was standing on a platform, and below the platform was a huge pit, with a square array of neat statues standing there. Below this table.

"To be precise, these are imitations of the guard statues at Hogwarts." The Soviet Union pointed to the stone sculptures below and said, "And they are some experimental products that pursue low cost and rapid production."

Experimental product? "Hugo looked at the stone sculptures below with a puzzled expression, because he felt that these humanoid sculptures that looked like heavy-armored warriors looked no different from the sculptures at Hogwarts.

"Yes, these are just some experimental products." Enterprise said, pressing a button next to him, and soon, a sculpture came up a staircase.

When the sculpture got closer, Hugo discovered that the sculpture looked much rougher than the sculptures in the castle, and at the same time, it always felt more clumsy.

"Wait a minute, can a magic statue be made of cement?" After stepping forward and observing it carefully, Hugo discovered that the material used for this statue was not stone at all, but cement.

"To be precise, these statues are made of reinforced concrete. As long as we do our best to cut costs, its shelf life is only 3 to 5 years." Soviet Union said, looking at the statue.

"I remember that the stone carvings at Hogwarts have lasted at least 1000 years." After hearing what the Soviet Union said, Hugo had a look of helplessness on his face.

"But making such a stone sculpture requires a lot of materials and time." The company came up and touched the statue and said, "We try our best to produce that kind of statue, but we can only make twenty or thirty pieces a year."

As an old magic school, Hogwarts has its own advantages. At least after thousands of years of experience, this school has accumulated great power.

For example, this is the case for the overall defense system in the school. According to the company's investigation, the statues and armors that are important components of defense at Hogwarts were accumulated bit by bit over a long period of time after the school was established.

This is an important reason why Hogwarts has a wide range of armor styles, from the oldest Viking mail to Renaissance plate armor.

It is obviously impossible for Hugo and the ship girls to have such a strong foundation of a thousand-year institution, so in this regard, they can only solve the problem by finding another way.

"If this kind of reinforced concrete statue is produced at full capacity, the annual output can exceed 6000." The Soviet Union said with great pride, standing next to the cement statue.

"In terms of quality, this kind of statue is definitely not as good as the fine products produced by Hogwarts. Even an ordinary person can defeat these statues in a one-on-one battle if he finds the right tools."

"But there is no doubt that quantity is also a kind of quality. If a large-scale war really breaks out in the wizarding world, these statues will have an unprecedented effect."

Obviously these statues should have been produced under the guidance of the Soviet Union and other Soviet ship girls. For them, overwhelming the enemy with massive technical weapons is a very useful tactic.

Of course, the ship girls are not simply imitating the sculptures in Hogwarts. For example, the humanoid sculptures below are not even 1/5, and most of them look abstract. Animal-like sculptures.

For example, among the large sculptures below, more than half are small four-legged sculptures that look like the size of a dog, but they only have one body and four legs, as well as four inlays on the four legs for detection. Crystal beads for testing.

"This is a special sculpture we invented after getting inspiration. It is also the one we are most optimistic about among the sculpture selections. It can perfectly complete various cannon fodder tasks."

The Soviet Union called for such a sculpture to run up while introducing it, and then took out a flat round box as big as a human face from the ship's installation space and installed it on the back of the sculpture.

"Considering that this type of sculptures are basically not of much use in the Wizarding War, we simply use them as vehicles and as movable missile launchers."

"These weapons contain 12 crossbow bolts, which are fired through one-time runes." The Soviet Union said, taking out another similar disk from the ship's installation space, then opening the upper cover and taking out a crossbow bolt and explaining to Hugo. .

"Although these arrows coated with a layer of magic bronze and containing magic potion can have an effect on wizards, to be honest, they will not be very effective in war. It may take multiple shots to knock off the protective layer on wizards or those magical creatures. .”

"The only test item with strong lethality is the crossbow arrow we made from a series of precious materials such as fairy silver, dragon scales, and dragon blood. It can basically cause fatal damage to wizards of the Auror level."

"But that thing is completely unsuitable for war, because each one requires Indomitable or a top magic master like Salem to make and takes one to two days to make." The company added on the side.

"What's worse is that the cost of such a crossbow is horribly high, and it is difficult to ensure adequate supply of raw materials. Therefore, it is best used for small-scale beheading operations, not for war."
