She Professed Herself The Pupil of The Wisemen

V1 ch15

With the complete success of the Accord Cannon’s firing test, the researchers and engineers in the facility began analyzing the obtained data; at the same time, the main members were in the development room with some documents spread before them, discussing with each other ways to make use of the weapon and how to mass-produce it in the future .

As for Mira, she was also in the same room, but quickly moved away from the tedious government-related talk and decided to look for something in a shelf, a great variety of things lined up there .

“Well then, Thoma . Looks like we managed to activate it with success in the first phase . But still, is everything alright?”

“Yes, we have perfectly suppressed the recoil . I believe it can already achieve something small for us . ”

Thoma, the person in charge of the experiment, answered full of confidence the king’s question . Solomon then nodded in response, visibly satisfied .

“By the way, how are you going to mass-produce the cannon? With all that firepower, our Wellesley House is obviously willing to invest in the weapon . ”

When one of the nobles eagerly leaned forward, the other ones also indicated their intention of helping .

“Err, regarding that, there’s a certain problem…”

Saying that with a clouded expression, Thoma retrieved one document and displayed it on the table . Written there was information relating to the Accord Cannon’s projectiles and the supply of materials it used as fuel .

“As you can see, a single firing requires one refining and two sealing gems . ”

The engineer then explained the theory behind the cannon . In short, they would first take a refining gem as the projectile . Afterwards, they would extract the energy from the sealing gems and charge the bullet with it .

Especially developed to store power with extreme ease, refining gems could be produced with the use of refining technology . Basically, the Accord Cannon acted as a device that could draw out the power contained within sealing gems, amplify it and then fire that energy . The refining gem, used as a projectile, served to provide a direction for the wild torrent of energy that was amplified to its limits . With the gem’s tendency of easily storing energy, that raging power would be drawn to the bullet and destroy it, being launched from the cannon at the same time . The bigger the refining gem was, the more they would need to wait for it to get destroyed; in return, the range of the cannon would also increase .

Finally, there was the last item . They required a lightning sealing gem to operate the Accord Cannon .

“Because of that, if everyone here collaborates it will be fine to mass-produce it, but the main problem we have here is related to those gems, the sealing and refining ones . ”

After finishing, Thoma breathed a deep sigh . The problem he talked about was the methods used to obtain the required lighting and refining gems . Currently, several individuals in the Kingdom of Arkite held the necessary skills to create the latter; for the former, however, the most they could produce were medium quality gems, only enough to ensure the minimum level of operation for the cannon . The silver lining was that, even with such limitations, the Accord Cannon was a very powerful weapon, as demonstrated by the experiment from earlier .
