Chapter 592: Strengthening the Line
The atmosphere of "this ......" instantly changed from hot to extremely quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What, what's so strange?" Old engineer Leo raised his eyebrows, "It's an antique from hundreds of years ago, and it's already great to be able to hold on to it until now, what do you want?" ”
"......" everyone was speechless, combined with this sentence and the previous situation, everyone finally realized that in fact, this cannon had already been in a damaged state, and Leo completely relied on the engineer's "emergency maintenance" skills to restore it to operation, but this "recovery" is actually the same as the return of human beings, after the glory, only the dilapidation remains......
Everyone stood by and watched for a while, and finally left one after another with regret.
"Aren't you leaving? After a big war, there are a lot of things to do, right? The old engineer looked down and picked up the parts on the ground, and said without raising his head.
"I don't have to worry about it over there, they'll take care of everything themselves!" Alvin said with a smug expression.
Old Engineer: "......"
"Master Leo, right?" Alvin took the initiative to speak.
"Not a master, just a bad old man who fiddles with machines." Leo said.
"You just said that it was an antique from hundreds of years ago, so this cannon is not the work of a human being, is it?" Alvin didn't care about the details and continued to ask.
"Crystal Dwarves, followers of the Artisan God Vulcan, but now extinct." Leo replied succinctly, "I have to admit that although we have always despised those who have betrayed their dignity and freedom to the evil gods, many of their achievements have not been achieved even today. ”
"It can only be said that it has not been reached for the time being!" Alvin crouched down and said, "If technology doesn't guarantee innovation and independence, then sooner or later there will be a day when it will be unsustainable, right?" ”
"Really?" Leo still didn't look up, "I've heard that bastard say that there seems to be a new casting technology in your hands, what, are you proud?" ”
"It's okay, it's not too much to brag about." Alvin said.
"......" didn't intend to be modest at all, even Leo couldn't do anything, and after a long silence, he finally spoke again, "Let me take a look." ”
"No problem." Alvin snapped his fingers, and a severed sword slowly floated from the ground, then the golden light gradually brightened, and the broken broken sword began to slowly deform, and a few seconds later, a glittering dagger floated silently in front of Alvin.
"Too reliant on magic, right? Without the power of magic to back it up, you can't do anything with this technique. Leo said, shaking his head.
"Is there anything wrong with the advanced technology, the higher the requirements for the prerequisites?" Alvin said bluntly, just like modern industry, you can't play anything without electricity, but people in real life are gradually accepting and getting used to this!
"......" Leo thought for a moment and felt that what the other party said seemed to make sense, but as a "veteran craftsman" who had been dealing with stoves and mechanical lathes all his life, this conceptual problem still couldn't be reversed for a while, so Leo finally shook his head.
"You can see that this is a very promising technology." This is Leo's assessment of Alvin's skills at the end.
"Is there really no way to continue using this cannon?" Alvin asked again reluctantly.
"It's not that it's completely impossible, it's just that there is an eighty percent chance that the cannon will be blown up when the cannon is fired, and then the surrounding twenty or thirty thousand people will be sent to the sky." Leo completely dispelled Alvin's hopes with one sentence.
"Okay!" Alvin shrugged. In fact, when Leo fired at the enemy regardless of attrition, Alvin was already aware of some problems.
Expending this level of artillery fire on a legendary monster may seem impressive, and it does suppress the enemy in a short period of time. However, purely in terms of costs and benefits, this is actually very cost-effective. If there is no last resort, then leaving this kind of attack to kill the epic monster will undoubtedly be more effective. When something reaches its peak, what will happen next is mostly decline. Helover should have seen through this, so he chose to avoid the edge for the time being.
"It's a bit of a problem!" Alvin sighed.
The current situation is that the boss may kill another horse gun at any time, but everyone does not have too effective means of counterattacking, if this kind of thing really happens, then the situation is probably dangerous. The only thing Alvin can hope for now is that Helover doesn't understand the situation here, and he will have to wait and see for a while before attacking again, considering that the monster side also needs to recover and reorganize the formation, an hour or two of free time is still possible.
"Since it's okay for you to be idle like this, let's come and reinforce the defense!" While Alvin was thinking, Leo finally packed up the parts on the ground and pieced together the cannon into a complete shape, although it could not be used anymore, but it was good to put it there to confuse the enemy.
"Okay!" When Leo's voice sounded, Alvin also received a task - to assist in the placement of automatic turrets, mission progress: 0/20. The reward for the task is relatively average, but considering that he does everything, Alvin did not refuse.
As I said before, the player's so-called defense line is actually not too decent fortifications, basically relying on narrow terrain to defend against the enemy, and now everyone has more than an hour, although it is not enough, but there are a lot of things that can be done. First of all, the city wall - if the city wall is the standard, I am afraid that I will not be able to make anything decent in an hour, but for the people now, it is actually enough to build an earthen platform, nothing else, one is to be high. The height is increased, the vision and range will be better, which is the advantage of everyone as a defender, and it is easy not to give up. In addition to the height, another requirement is thickness, after all, the thicker the wall, the more attacks it can withstand, and there are nearly 200,000 people on the coalition side (more than 20,000 killed by the boss and more than 40,000 killed at the hands of other monsters), so many people can't stand without a platform that is large enough. In order to reduce the workload, everyone built the earthen platform into an inclined shape, facing the direction of the enemy, curling and warping, forming an 80° acute angle of the earthen wall, the wall is reinforced with petrification magic, and more importantly, the elemental inertization magic that is attached layer by layer, this magic can reduce the elemental damage of the earthen wall by three-quarters, yes, it is to reduce the damage of the earthen wall itself! The positioning of the earthen wall itself is a consumable, and such an enchantment can maximize its lifespan, and if it is true, the mechanism of this wall is somewhat similar to the divine protection of the priest.
In addition to the "city wall", of course, everyone also made other arrangements, Alvin and others placed an automatic turret, and the trap arranged on the battlefield is also one, considering the number of enemies, it is only a lethal trap, which can play an extremely limited role, so everyone gave priority to the thorn trap with a deceleration effect, this trap has a simple structure, and it is very leathery, even if it is blown up into the sky, there is a good chance of taking effect after falling down and stepping on it, and in order to maximize the effect, These traps are densely arranged in the direction of everyone from a distance of 200 meters, and normally speaking, the monster should have just broken through the ice and snow barrier when it reaches this position, and it is the moment when it is most anxious to move forward, and there should be no time to carefully clear the traps.
Finally, of course, we still have to talk about the automatic turret, considering that the monster group also has high-precision attack capabilities, so even if it is placed in the bunker, the fragile turret still has the possibility of being knocked off by a single hit, so everyone chose the most secure plan - plus shields. Thanks to this work, Alvin has a deep understanding of the shields generated by mechanical devices, although Alvin really can't think of any use for this knowledge.
