Chapter 292: It's made of corn
"It seems...... It seems to taste good. As the first person to come back to his senses after seeing the oversized corn cob mallet appear, the chief master officer of the United Earth Council patted the big corn kernels and sighed, "Eh, what kind of expression do you have?" ”
As for why he filled in the latter sentence with a change in tone, it was because Robert noticed that Wang Rui and Chloe's expressions became very shocked.
"Uh, it's okay, it's okay." Wang Rui wanted to wipe a cold sweat or something, but found that just now because of Robert's action, his hands and feet were very soft, the power of the corn cannon, Wang Rui still remembers it deeply, he may be blown into ashes, but the problem is that this cannon is currently being watched by onlookers.
"You mean, this slightly larger corn cob mallet is a weapon?" Robert, who finally saw something wrong from Wang Rui's eyes, asked in a tone of disbelief when he contacted what Chloe had said before.
"Well, a long-range weapon of mass destruction, its scientific name should be called corn cannon." Wang Rui replied to Robert instead of Chloe.
When Wang Rui said this, he didn't have any idea of secrecy, and Lexington, the old general who followed him, also heard this sentence, and then the biggest receipt was to put General Lexington on the battlefield that he was going to say that there were a lot of military food reserves after seeing the corn cannon appear, and he didn't have to worry about holding back this sentence at all.
"You say this corn...... Is the corn cart a weapon of mass destruction? Robert looked at Wang Rui with a puzzled expression, as if to ask if the two had different definitions of the words large-scale and lethal.
"Corn cannons. The power must be very powerful, and the eight cannons level the world...... Well, Chloe. No problem here. Wang Rui, who said something inexplicable in the eyes of others, found it difficult to explain what the corn cannon was to people who had never played Plants vs. Zombies, and could only let others see it for themselves.
Hearing Wang Rui's order, Chloe first took out a triangular ruler and glanced at Constantinople in the distance, then squatted down and touched the ground, then raised his head and said:
"The distance is fine, the ground is fine, but you need to keep the people around you away."
Then, except for Wang Rui, who turned around and retreated more than ten meters decisively, everyone else froze in place, causing the corn cannon to fall into a short cold field.
"Oh. Is it to get out of the way a little? Robert looked back at Wang Rui's figure, watching him maintain a kind of readiness to retreat at any time, and took a step back with some confusion but feeling very powerful. Well, there is only one step, although this step is not a big step, but it is much better than the circle of people around who are completely immobile.
"It's better to get out of the way a little more. Just retreat to Lord Wang Rui. "Notice the scene in front of you. Chloe repeated it earnestly.
Finally, under Chloe's serious warning, the onlookers all showed incomprehensible expressions, turning the small circle that was originally used to surround the corn cannon into a large circle.
Robert, who retreated to Wang Rui's side, opened his mouth and asked what everyone wanted to ask: "Are you sure this corn is very powerful?" ”
"You'll know after a while, anyway, this barracks is too flat, there is no bunker." Wang Rui, who knew that the word "cannon" of corn cannon was a bit watery, looked around and said in a very solemn tone.
"As for such ......an exaggeration," said Robert, who was about to express his constant doubts, when a small carriage made of two pairs of load-bearing wheels let out a screeching "clang" from the battery mount of the corn cannon summoned by Chloe.
And then in everyone's bewildered eyes. The chassis of the car between the two pairs of load-bearing wheels stretched out a bracket, and a few "clicks" fixed the entire corn cannon body in place.
"That's understandable...... Robert whispered when he saw the scene. The use of retainers to fix the turret to ensure that the accuracy will not be affected by excessive recoil when firing the gun is not affected by excessive recoil, these foundations are even some primitive military theories, and there is no reason why Robert should not know.
But it is precisely this correct theoretical knowledge, combined with the all-wooden body of the corn cannon summoned by Chloe, how strange it looks.
Thankfully, the tangle didn't stay in the hearts of Robert and everyone present for longer, because what happened next was even more exaggerated.
After the bracket was erected, the huge corn cob mallet that had been lying flat on the body slowly rose under the action of unknown force, gradually increasing its elevation angle like a real cannon.
But the problem is that after Robert added parameters to his armor host, such as wind direction, distance, etc., and calculated the most suitable elevation angle, the corn cob mallet that had reached this elevation angle crossed this sweet spot without hesitation.
Finally, Robert's face was tightened with a chrysanthemum expression at a 90° elevation angle, standing straight on the fixed wooden body.
"You...... Are you sure...... Is this a cannon? "If this is a cannon, as long as there is a 90% chance that the cannon will be accidentally wounded by friendly soldiers, only under very perfect conditions can the purpose of firing this cannon at a 90° angle be achieved, that is, to blow yourself into the sky.
Fortunately, the era in which Robert lived was an era of relatively advanced science and technology, and compared to cannons or something, Robert also clearly knew that there was another kind of weapon that was derived from the cannon and was considered a "second cannon".
So when she asked Wang Rui about this, the tone she used was "You are teasing me" instead of "This cannon can also be fired" or something.
"Although I'd love to say that its name should be "Ground-to-Ground Corn ICBM Cannon" or something. I don't know where to take out a pair of sunglasses, Wang Rui sighed deeply, and continued:
"But the problem is that I flipped through the product manual several times, and it all called this thing a corn cannon, and the name is a code name anyway, isn't it, since they said so, let's just listen to it......"
Before Wang Rui finished speaking, with a roar, the prepared corn cannon ammunition shot into the sky with a "boom" without a countdown.
The onlookers of the Cadore Band, who were not prepared for the power of this corn cannon, were caught off guard and pushed backwards by the shock wave, and some of them even fell to the ground with unsteady steps.
"Weapons of mass destruction......" Robert looked up at the corn cannonball, which was actually a corn missile, which continued to keep the acceleration flying, and said after silently reading for a while:
"I still can't understand why I made it look like corn."
"Actually, it's very likely that it's corn itself, and not made to look like corn......
“??” (To be continued......)
