Chapter 143: Technological Breakthrough of the Demon Crystal Cannon
"A precursor to a demon tide?"
When Meng Yang heard Phoenix say this, his whole person paused slightly, as if he felt a chill on the back of his head and back.
At this point in time, the climate of the City of Despair should be considered summer, but perhaps because of the high latitudes and the proximity to the seashore, it is not very hot, and the climate is relatively warm and humid.
But Meng Yang still felt chills all over his body.
"Too fast, still too fast! Is the Devil really coming? ”
For the outbreak of the demon tide, it has always been like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and he doesn't know when it will fall, but he has always hoped to make as many preparations as possible before it falls.
Meng Yang has been working hard for this all along, from the beginning of summoning players into this other world, to today, it has only been more than a month and less than two months.
During this time, he went from a somewhat ignorant and indifferent mentality at the beginning, to a later mentality that changed again and again, and began to summon players, formulate tasks, rescue the aborigines, and constantly accumulate strength for the camp.
The total number of players he has summoned to the City of Despair is only more than 1,200 people, and the second and third batches of players are 1,000 people test, and he wants to wait for the first batch of 1,000 new players to get used to the rhythm, and then start gradually.
But now it seems that everything is still too urgent.
Even though there has been a lot of psychological construction in his heart, when he really heard the news, Meng Yang still had no way to calm down.
However, there was no time to think about this at this time, Meng Yang raised his head and glanced at the sky dome in the distance, and said quickly towards Phoenix and Cassel: "Don't worry about the precursors of the outbreak of the demon tide, a giant dragon will appear in the City of Despair soon." ”
"Dragons?"
When the two of them heard Meng Yang's words, they suddenly changed color, and then quickly followed Meng Yang's footsteps and ran towards the test site in the eighth city district.
Inside the proving ground.
At this moment, Zhou Tong was rubbing a giant cannon with a caliber of 210 mm, and turned his head to Sun Dashou and shouted: "Sun Gong, you can design it, such a large caliber, the consumption of magic crystals is really amazing." ”
This giant cannon looks like a traditional red-coated cannon, but it is larger, the barrel is longer, the whole body is forged in steel, and behind the barrel is a huge pedestal support.
Not far from this giant cannon, the aboriginal Sheridan and four or five players are helping to carry high-purity magic crystals, preparing for the next test launch of the two.
Sun Dashou stood behind the base of the cannon, where there was a groove with a capacity of about two liters to hold the magic crystal, and above the groove was a complex line of concentrating array, and several shots in succession made Sun Dashou quite satisfied, and smiled:
"You don't want the material to pass, then there is no way, you can only get it on the big one, a little rougher and heavier, and durable. Besides, the city lord also wanted to be able to make a large caliber, which was powerful enough. ”
"It's still too exaggerated." Zhou Tong shook his head, "The power is very good, but this is an energy cannon, and there is no need for such a big size." Besides, it can be a hassle to move later. ”
"I see that you just haven't awakened the transcendent seed, and you are jealous of me when you see that I can ignite the 'ignite' fuse." Sun Dashou pursed his lips, he had just tried to fire a few magic crystal cannons, and it felt quite good.
"Don't tell me, I'm really going to use that when I go back...... Potions, yes, potions to awaken, otherwise this test beam can still be very inconvenient. Zhou Tong heard Sun Dashou mention that transcendent awakening, and his heart was a little moved, for him, this is a mysterious thing, but in order to better study the magic energy, he still wants to experience it himself.
Sun Dashou smiled, withdrew his hand from the gathering array, and patted the big guy in front of him gently, "I said Lao Zhou, you have spent a lot of effort offline, this time you have solved the problem of beam energy, since the problem of beam energy has been solved, now the steel production here has basically kept up, we can use the magic energy to move with it, or just make it into a tank, and worry about what to move." ”
Zhou Tong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a dumb smile, "You old guy is very good at abacus, I heard that your blast furnace steelmaking speed is not slow, how do you do it?" ”
"The quality of the iron ore here is quite high, and it is a high-grade bonanza." Sun Dashou smiled a little proudly, "In the warehouse of the camp, I took a look, and there should be fifty or sixty thousand tons of iron ore in stock, which is enough for me to use for a while."
I've heard from a few natives that this was accumulated before the fall of the city, magic crystals, iron ore, and some other miscellaneous things, but unfortunately before it could be fully used, the city was attacked by monsters. It's a lot cheaper for us, otherwise, we'll have to dig in an iron mine outside the city, and the efficiency won't keep up with the progress you want. ”
"You've really made a big deal."
Zhou Tong looked at the proud Sun Dashou and shook his head helplessly, the reason why this camp in the eighth city district was built here was because of the resources stacked in the city's warehouse.
The fifty or sixty thousand tons of iron ore that Sun Dashou said seems to be an exaggeration, but for a city as big as the City of Despair, the inventory of iron ore is really not much. This experimental magic crystal cannon consumes several tons of steel, and when it is replaced with iron ore, this amount has to be turned upwards and turns. If we really want to roll it out, I'm afraid it won't take long for this inventory to start looking for new mineral resources.
However, considering the problem of productivity, such strategic storage is not low.
While the two were talking, Meng Yang had already hurried to the test site with Phoenix and Casul.
As soon as he arrived at the test site, before Meng Yang could speak, Kasol's whole person jumped out and jumped out, and the whole person pounced on the giant magic crystal cannon, his eyes shining brightly.
This tall aboriginal with a lion-like hairstyle was initially just a small person before the fall of Despair City, but later arrived in Despair City with too many casualties, and was forcibly taken with potions to awaken the transcendent seed, so he had the opportunity to operate the magic crystal cannon.
For those who have really felt the power of this magic crystal cannon, the greatest use of awakening the transcendent seed is just to "light up" the energy in the magic crystal, and deep in his heart, the love for the magic crystal cannon comes from the bones.
This is the biggest reliance that the City of Despair once was able to stand on this land, but unfortunately, after the fall of the City of Despair, most of the magic crystal cannons have been destroyed by various monsters, and many of them don't know where they went.
Now that I have seen such a large magic crystal cannon, the frenzy and joy are almost overflowing.
"Lord Castle, we have made a breakthrough in this experiment."
After seeing Meng Yang appear, Zhou Tong and Sun Dashou both greeted them with a smile, and the mood of revealing their scientific research achievements was completely on their faces.
"Okay." Meng Yang nodded neatly, looked at the giant cannon next to Kasol, and asked directly, "We need to use it now, we will be in big trouble soon." ”
"Big trouble?" The two of them were slightly stunned when they heard this, "What's the big trouble?" ”
At this time.
Whew-
Above the sky in the distance.
A large black shadow slowly approached from a distance.
The sky was overwhelming, like a black cloud.
