I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

If the magic shield generator on its body is not destroyed within a short period of time, it can retreat safely after destroying the enemy and wait for the energy to be replenished before coming back.

Unless you are extremely unlucky and encounter Seris's new armored vehicles equipped with 2-4 barrels of recoilless guns, you will be smashed into pieces on the spot by a round of output.

If it is an old-fashioned quadruple Maxim machine gun group or field artillery, they can withstand a round of output and then escape unscathed.

However, they also have a flaw, which is that they usually have to retreat after fighting for about ten minutes, and can only come back to fight again after at least thirty minutes.

It is speculated that this is due to the low efficiency of element absorption in the subcontinent.

This means that the good days when these officers could lay down their machine gun anti-aircraft vehicles and bully the infantry are gone forever, and they can only wait obediently for new armored vehicles to be replenished from the rear.

Medea's reverse research on the machine is also progressing rapidly. By unpacking the power source, she can roughly understand some of the operating principles of goblin engineering.

The interrogation of the nun and Eunice also gave Medea a more detailed understanding of the goblin, the creator of this thing.

In fact, the situation of the goblins is very similar to that of ordinary human civilians.

Their magical talent is the worst among all races, their physical developability is also the lowest, and their appearance is definitely not good-looking.

But the goddess of magic did not abandon them and gave them extremely intelligent brains.

The machine is a product of pure alchemical engineering and relies on a magic core for power.

Their tall bodies allow them to look down on most races.

The all-metal body also possesses considerable physical defense capabilities, and the magic core allows those with low magical talent to unleash elemental attacks similar to those of a magician.

The most important thing is that this is a mass-produced thing, which means that as long as there are materials, the goblins can continue to manufacture this type of machine to arm themselves.

This is much faster and more cost-effective than other races that rely on practice to improve their own racial strength.

After all, there is no way that what you have cultivated for decades can be cheaper than the alchemical products I produce in batches, right?

After developing their mechanical bodies, the goblins quickly entered their heyday, expanding their territory and greatly expanding the living space of the race.

The expansion of territory also brought more high-quality resources, and a large amount of actual combat data could also be used to better optimize the design. The iteration of the machines became faster and faster, and in their heyday they even created super-large machines whose strength far exceeded that of conventional saint-level machines.

But that's all, because God cannot be created.

Mortal beings are mortal beings, and the average lifespan of a goblin is only 50 years. No matter how powerful their bodies are, they cannot extend their lifespan, not to mention that they cannot create the most important pillars of the empire.

After discovering this cruel truth, the Goblin Kingdom pulled back before the gods could intervene, retreated and gave up one-third of its territory, and made peace with the major racial empires with the Arctic Ice Mountains as the boundary.

At the same time, he opened up some of the body's research data to help other countries master basic technology in exchange for a stable external environment. He quietly hid on the other side of the continent to live, or to concentrate on research.

Other empires and races also took advantage of the situation and the peace talks went very smoothly.

They were also frightened by the rise of the goblins in the war, and their momentum that almost swept the entire continent. They were afraid that if they pushed them too hard, these ugly dwarfs would come up with some incredible weird things.

Chapter 95 Fuck Him

The reason why Medea could see something so quickly was because goblin engineering, or goblin technology, seemed to be very similar to some aspects of the technology in her previous life.

What is similar is that the concepts are very close, and they explore, understand and apply the world.

The difference lies in the different starting points and needs of the two sides for energy use, which has led to two completely different paths.

The goblins face a lot of opponents, and there are deadly threats from land, sea and air. Magic is useless, and flesh is rubbish. The pressure of their survival forces them to develop polyhedral mobile bodies and pursue the power of individual weapons.

However, individual weapons are small in size and consume a lot of energy in combat. For this reason, the goblins have studied magic inscriptions and built a set of core devices that can absorb external magic power on their own.

The humans in the previous life were different. Their biggest threat was humans themselves. They would die if they killed any creature they encountered. They didn't have much pressure to defend themselves. Whoever was hit by a cannon would die anyway. So they pursued firepower delivery and equality for all beings.

Following the concept of equality for all, Medea did not pay much attention to the inscription technology of the magic continent and did not think deeply about its unique advantages.

Now that I have seen how the inscriptions on the Goblin Power Source Pack are integrated, I wonder if I could find a way to integrate an additional set of magic power sources on the power source.

Then could she put a magic shield shell on the armored units to increase their survivability?

In other words, the objective laws of nature are the most basic rules for the operation of the universe, and magic is also a kind of natural energy in this world, so she could have regarded it as a part of the technological system.

By reverse-engineering the traditional systems of the machine, she can also create her own machine unit. At that time, she will carry an ammunition box on her back, hold the Maxim in one hand, and carry a recoilless gun on her shoulder. Isn't this a perfect steel man?

As for why it is reverse research rather than purchase, it is because the original owners of this goblin technology were all imperial-level forces without exception.

Other countries import their own aircrafts. They won't sell their technology to you.

'what's on your mind?'

The elusive Shirleya appeared from beside her again. Medea was used to this. She pulled her over and rubbed her, saying that this was a punishment for being scared by her.

Having known each other for such a long time, the two had already become familiar with each other. Shirleya was no longer as resistant as before. Instead, she would stretch out her little hand to compare the size of their chests.

"Machine data? We have it!"

After hearing Medea's explanation, she replied without thinking.

Medea was shocked when she heard this: "Ah? Why do you have it? Didn't they say that the participants were all from the Empire? Now they are the ones who are monopolizing the market."

Xue Liya rolled her eyes: "Who said we attended that crappy meeting? We should be the first to get this set of technical information, and the most complete one."

"At first the goblins wanted to cooperate with us and try to seek our support, but they looked so... few agreed. Of the three or two who agreed, we asked them to stay there, but none of them said a word when we asked them."

'Later they sent us this set of information, with the condition that we help them once when they need it. We were also quite curious about this big toy, so we agreed.'

"Since we really need help, let those Holy Witches who agreed to it at the beginning go."

"Then why didn't you think of giving it to me in the beginning~"

"You didn't want it! Besides, this thing called the Subcontinent is actually useless. Its battery life is so poor that it will break down halfway through the journey."

Mitia thought for a moment and said, "That's true. I just want to refer to the technical information, especially the magic core. I'm not really interested in the machine."

"It's okay. If you want to see it, I'll ask my sister to bring it to you. I just came to see you. It's a little beast girl. You can guess. "

"...Zundu fakedu?"

We will have to wait until we get the technical information to decide how to do it.

It is a pity that the aircraft cannot be produced in a short time. We had originally planned to equip two aircraft for high-altitude reconnaissance, but now it seems that this is unlikely.

However, if you can't catch up, there is no need to be too anxious. Continue with the wind tunnel verification and calculate the optimal value of the world's lift coefficient in detail before talking about other things.

After half a month of assembly, the vanguard of the Torines Front officially set out and advanced towards Torines.

After crossing the border between the two sides, we entered a roadless area, and the only thing that could guide us was the paper map in our hands.

Fortunately, Medea has always been willing to invest in intelligence, and map surveying and mapping are updated in a relatively timely manner, allowing their operations to go smoothly.

What surprised them the most was the Cat all-terrain vehicle. It had been less than a month since the thaw and it was already the rainy season, so the road surface had become rotten to a certain extent.

But the Cat can still maneuver quickly on such roads to clear the way for the legion, with almost no restrictions from the terrain, and can flexibly transport personnel and mechanical parts.

It can also act as a trailer to rescue stuck armored vehicles. Although it looks small and unprepossessing, it actually provides great convenience to the military.

However, the reconnaissance troops of the Torines Front had not yet arrived at the destination when they encountered another army of unknown forces halfway.

Through the newly distributed telescopes, they saw the flag of the Kingdom of Alesia among the army, and immediately distanced themselves and reported the situation to the legion headquarters via high-power radio.

The legion commander was stunned for a moment when he heard that it was the troops of the Kingdom of Alessia. Then he figured out what the other party wanted to do and sneered, "Let the artillery troops prepare and fire a shot at him!"

The Chief of Staff of the NCO hesitated: "Is it appropriate to fight without declaring war?"

"Appropriate! How can it be inappropriate? Have you forgotten what the Queen said? The Kingdom of Ovinia is an inseparable part of our country! Any country that enters the border without sending a note will be treated as an enemy!"

"Quick! Give his mother a shot! It will be bad if they find us."

The Chief of Staff no longer hesitated after hearing this and simply agreed: "Okay!"

The Alessia Kingdom Army has actually discovered the traces of the Seris scouts.

After all, although they don't have technology, they have the magic of magicians' detection magic! The detection magic of senior magicians is also terrifyingly powerful. As long as they are within the effective range, they can clearly see the specific appearance and clothing of the other party.

After knowing that his troops were most likely discovered, the commander of the Alessia army became anxious: "Are you sure they have discovered us? Have you seen where their main force is?"

He knew that the Seris Federation had legion-level long-range firepower, and that its firing speed and distance were much higher than those of their Mage Corps.

The chief of the Mage Corps shook his head: "No... I only saw a few people. I suggest you evacuate here immediately."

"Damn! Do you think I don't want to? How are we going to move on this broken road? We can't even lift our feet!" The legion commander cursed angrily and lifted up his iron boots that were stuck in the mud to show him.

Who in armor can have such low self-esteem? Almost everyone is like him. If they are unlucky, they will sink halfway into the ground if they step too deep, and the horses will not be able to run.

"Then I'll go down and prepare, but we can only protect part of it..."

Seeing this, the chief shook his head and left the legion commander. Soon after, a translucent shield covered a small half of the army formation.

And Seris's artillery fire also fell from the sky.

Chapter 96 Successful Meeting

The chief of the Mage Corps had participated in the war of Memrotoh and had witnessed the power of artillery shells, so he did not choose to cover the entire formation, but instead narrowed the range and strengthened the strength of the shield.

Facts proved that his choice was correct. Seris's field artillery unit launched a round of rapid fire in the direction of Alesia, without even trying to aim, in order to maximize the damage.

As a result, most of the bullets hit the shield and did not have much effect.

However, after the observer in the distance used a telescope to observe and revise the ballistic coordinates, the second round of corrected grenades still blew the Alessia Kingdom Army to pieces.

The legion commander was in no hurry to attack, so he used field artillery to bombard Alesia's coordinates. In such a vast muddy field, there was really no place to hide.

The armored tracked vehicles and all-terrain vehicles equipped with recoilless guns carrying infantry quickly assembled and waited on the spot.

When the enemy finally couldn't stand the bombing and began to disperse, the vanguard troops, acting as the spearhead, quickly rushed towards the Alessia Kingdom Army.

The difference in combat power between the two sides was fully revealed in the wide area. The range of the newly replaced smokeless powder rifle was almost half that of the old musket.

Moreover, the five-round ammunition magazine allows an ordinary Seris infantryman to easily deliver firepower comparable to that of four opposing musketeers.

The most embarrassing thing is that the heavy infantry of the Kingdom of Alesia used to defend against bullets could not run at all with their tower shields. They often turned around with great difficulty to block the front of their teammates.

Seris's Cat terrain vehicle immediately turned to another weak point for a heavy fire attack.

At the same time, the rain of artillery shells from the sky never stopped. From time to time, a few shells would hit the army formation, breaking up the newly organized army formation again.

The frontal battle lasted less than 40 minutes before the Alessia Kingdom's army, which wanted to steal the chicken, raised the white flag and surrendered...

According to post-war statistics, this force had a size of 30,000 before it set out, including 5,000 regular troops and the rest were logistics and reserve soldiers who transported supplies. More than 1,000 were killed in battles, explosions, or trampled to death, 2,000 were seriously wounded, and more than 28,000 were captured.

After interrogating the legion commander whether he had other troops, he learned that there was a legion of about 40,000 people heading to Torines to support the local garrison of Ovinia.

Leaving behind a regiment of about 3000 troops to escort them to Alos, the remaining -plus people took several captured guides and began a forced march, heading straight for Sentatilka in Alesia.

The number of Ovinia's garrison troops on the Torines side is about 20,000, and the total number of both sides is more than 60,000, so this support force must not be allowed to join the garrison.
