Chapter 795: 252. Old Friends in a Foreign Land_2
Noland Lee and Selena sat down at the table, facing Loymin.
Noland Lee did not rush to question.
He was observing the other party.
To be precise, he was observing all the metal items in this small surveillance chamber.
He remembered vividly the ability of the Metal Ancestor Dragon to move freely between metal objects and would not let his guard down.
Even if only his consciousness reached here, it was the same.
He threw out Deconstruction techniques one after another, and pieces of feedback information emerged in his mind.
Noland Lee nodded secretly.
Nothing here was called “abnormal” by the system, and the alien woman opposite was all normal.
Oh, yes, I need to ask Selena later, what is the status of the magic ship that originally belonged to Berkeley.
If it was disassembled into parts as originally planned and sold to the Merchant Alliance of Baldur’s Gate…
Noland Lee reminded himself in his heart.
He calmed his mind and said straightforwardly to Loymin across the table:
“We encountered some troubles when dealing with enemies in the water. We lack effective means to kill them. If you can provide us with a practical solution, we will provide some help to you and your crew within the scope of the law.”
Loymin interlocked her fingers and rubbed them on the tabletop, asking in fluent Ulnas Ring Common Language:
“I need to first test the underwater environment you mentioned, obtain its environmental parameters, and then determine the solution.”
Noland Lee said:
“Assuming the underwater environment is similar to the seawater you have encountered, what would you do?”
Loymin pondered for a few seconds:
“Then, there are many feasible solutions. First, you can consider using high-speed underwater bombs, this is what you call it here. In the Metal Creation Group, we call it ‘torpedo’. You can understand it as a magic bomb that can move underwater and has a tracking function.”
Noland Lee nodded slightly, which was as he expected.
The torpedo should be the first underwater weapon that anyone who has come into contact with technological weapons can think of.
Loymin continued:
“If the torpedo does not work, then you can consider beam magic, sorry, I can’t find the right word in your language. To be precise, what I want to mention is not beam magic, but…”
Loymin paused for a moment, deliberated for a little while, and finally found the right word:
“A magic device that can emit special light columns. Yes, that’s how you understand it.
“The principle is as follows: Generally speaking, light columns decay severely in seawater, but this is not absolute. There may exist a ‘window that allows the light column to pass’ in the seawater.
“Light columns of specific colors are affected by seawater and will be significantly lower than other light columns.
“What kind of light column can achieve a range of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters in seawater, this requires experimentation to find out.”
Noland Lee slightly narrowed his non-existent eyes.
Loymin’s words were vague, and it was inevitable that wizards would think she was talking nonsense, but Noland Lee thought that she had reason.
Not only that, Noland Lee was reminded by her to recall some popular science knowledge learned before crossing.
A short video once mentioned that “blue-green light” can propagate farther in seawater.
The blue-green laser beam weapon should be the only usable underwater laser weapon in the world before crossing.
Putting this content on the magic side, it becomes:
Adjust the energy band of ‘Scorching Hot Beam’, ‘Death Ray’, and these beam magic spells, and they can have a longer range underwater.
The trouble is that the field of magic where wizards are located has not yet involved research on “bandwidth”.
Most wizards in their hearts only think about how to create bigger and more spectacular spells.
Noland Lee believed:
Fighting spells are used to kill enemies.
So, don’t pursue gorgeousness, just accurately smash the spell into the enemy’s head.
Looking back, his simple idea originated from the combat philosophy in war films before crossing.
Simplicity and efficiency are the true essence of fighting, and gorgeousness is just a waste of war resources.
Returning to the current question and answer,
Noland Lee didn’t care much about Loymin’s ambiguous answer, as long as he understood.
“Are there any other solutions?” Noland Lee asked.
At this moment, Noland Lee felt like he was searching for information on “Qian Du”.
Facing Noland Lee’s question, Loymin answered after some thought:
“Seawater is a good medium for vertical sound waves. So a sound wave class… um… a sound wave class magic device based on vertical sound waves can also effectively kill underwater enemies.”
“Vertical sound wave…” Noland Lee was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t this just a longitudinal wave?
Yes!
Noland Lee suddenly realized!
It was mentioned in the physics class that sound waves are mechanical waves, sound waves are longitudinal waves when propagating in gaseous and liquid media, and may be mixed with transverse waves when propagating in solid media.
Technological weapons developed based on longitudinal waves can also work in underwater environments.
Moreover, the effect of this weapon in water will be much better than in air.
Loymin raised her hands, dragging the clattering chains, and made a few gestures:
“I didn’t find the corresponding vocabulary in your language, I can only try to explain my meaning to you. The word ‘sound wave’, it’s not accurate. The wave I want to describe is a kind of…”
