The powerful beam of light fired by Issinger directly formed a huge circle of diffuse fire on the ground of the city, and the powerful light radiation caused all objects exposed to the strong light to start to smoke, and the ring of fire continued to spread along the ground to all sides. In addition to the powerful unstable magic, this spreading ring of fire also had the effect of high temperature and shock waves, and anything above the ground was pushed down in pieces like wheat stalks, and nothing could resist even a fraction of a second under such power.
We stood at the observation port attached to the Super Demon Destruction Cannon at the bottom of Isinger, and through the huge almost opaque dark blue crystal glass, we could still see the dazzling white aura on the ground expanding in the surroundings, and the buildings were reduced to nothing in the flames, and the defense troops were lifted by the air wave and finally completely engulfed by the flames. Whether you are a player who has just left the novice village or a level 800 master, you are all as helpless as a baby in the face of city-level destruction weapons, and your personal strength is meaningless in the face of this kind of weapon, even super powerhouses like Hongyan and Black Qilin may not be able to survive such an attack.
The beam continued to fire for five seconds, then suddenly began to tainter, and finally broke into a bright line and scattered into stars in the air. The surrounding qiē suddenly became dark, and after the strong light, our eyes were a little uncomfortable, and for a moment it felt like everything around us had become dark. It took us a few seconds to regain our vision, and the city on the ground had been completely destroyed, the huge city surface had completely melted into strange rock condensations, and the ground was full of hot toxic smoke, which was the noxious gas that had been emitted from some of the building materials that had been melted.
The sound of the City Tree sounded above us. "The Super Demon Destruction Cannon has been fired, and the main retainer has been loosened."
We looked back at the mouth of the Super Demon Destruction Cannon Ground behind us, and the double-layer circular metal retainer fixed to the nozzle rotated in two directions. Then there was a bang, and both bindings popped off to both sides at the same time.
"After the main retainer is unlocked, the secondary gate begins to depressurize." With the prompt of the City Tree, sixteen pressure-relieving valves on the periphery of the launch port of the Super Demon Destruction Cannon simultaneously spewed out high-pressure vapor of more than a thousand degrees. Even in the city, we can still hear the loud sizzle of those valves when they vent at high speeds.
Ah Wei joked: "This steam must be good if it is used to steam steamed buns." ”
I nodded and said, "Yes." Even if you're standing there, it's still steamed. ”
The pressure relief valve sprayed for seven or eight seconds before it gradually stopped, and the prompt of the City Tree sounded again. "The depressurization of Gate No. 2 is completed, and the main pressure gate is opened for decompression."
We felt the ground shake violently, and then the sixteen decompression vents outside the city began to steam again, but this time it was different from the last time. In order to ensure the safety of the entire launch device, a special semi-liquid solid mixture will be filled into the reactor after launch, and then the high temperature will sublimate the substance into a gaseous state, but this will reduce the temperature of the reactor to below 5,000 degrees. Avoid melting of expensive geothermal components due to ultra-high temperatures.
As the high-temperature cooling material is completely transformed into a gaseous state, most of the high temperature in the cabin is also taken away. The City Tree sent another hint. "The main pressure reaction chamber is cooled twice and the main pressure gate is closed. Inject high-pressure coolant. ”
Although the gate is closed, we can still hear the sizzling sound of the coolant entering the reaction chamber, and it seems that the temperature difference between the two is not ordinarily large.
After more than ten seconds, the voice sounded again. "The main pressure gate opens and the coolant is forced to drain."
Poof...... This time the coolant sprayed made a loud noise that it felt like an explosion. From the observation port of the Super Demon Destruction Cannon, it can be seen that the high-temperature coolant sprayed from some of the nozzles has already turned into vapor volatilization if it does not fall to the ground at all.
"Secondary cooling is over. The forced cooling circuit is switched on and the cooling water valve is opened. ”
This is already the third time that the cooling has been carried out, and a large amount of fresh water is injected directly into the reaction chamber. But because the floodgates were not closed, the water quickly flowed out of the outlet below. Although it was cooled twice, the temperature of the reaction chamber was still as high as 1,000 degrees, and it was impossible for the cooling water to cool the reactor in a short time, so a large amount of cooling water had to be used to continuously flush it. At first, the lower outlet was still spewing water vapor, but soon the temperature of the reactor dropped below the boiling point, and the lower outlet began to spew hot boiling water.
"The temperature of the reaction chamber is controlled within a safe range, the cooling water valve is closed, and the main gate and the No. 2 gate are closed. The pipe mouth high-pressure door retainer is unlocked. ”
Six high-pressure steel gates with a diameter of more than a meter rotated and locked back into the wall at the mouth of the pipe next to us, and then a rotating device locked by the gate rotated ninety degrees counterclockwise and automatically retracted into the wall.
"The pipe gate opens."
The high-pressure metal gate covering the mouth of the pipe rotated half a circle under the action of the opening device, and a steel column with a diameter of more than two meters descended from the roof of the room and inserted directly into an interface in the middle of the gate, and then the three retainers on the gate automatically bounced up and locked the steel column with a click. The pillars began to slowly rise, and the gate was pulled out with it. As soon as the gate was removed, a white mist rushed out from under the mouth of the pipe, and there was a smell of something burning the king.
Although we were still more than ten meters away from the mouth of the pipe, the boiling heat wave brought by the steam still forced us to retreat. The working mechanism on the roof stretched out two pipes to the mouth of the pipe, and then with a bang, two water jets poured into the mouth of the pipe, and we only saw that the mouth of the pipe was spraying water vapor outward like a crater, and soon no one was visible in the room.
Walmart shouted outside, "Turn on the forced exhaust fan." ”
There was a sound of machinery turning, and the exhaust began to work, and the water vapor was quickly pulled out of the room. The sprinkler stopped after a while, and the water vapor stopped coming. Another mechanical claw came down from the top of the cave. Reaching into the mouth of the pipe, only to hear a click that presumably fixed something, and then the mechanical arm pulled the mechanical claws and began to rise, and soon they left the mouth of the pipe.
The claw grabbed it by a mass of objects that could no longer be seen in its original shape. This thing melted so badly that it was basically a mass of material crystallization. Although it is no longer recognizable from the appearance, I know that this is the magic power gathering booster of the Super Demon Destruction Cannon, which is the key technology for firing the Super Demon Destruction Cannon, and half of the firing cost of the Super Demon Destruction Cannon is because of it. This unrecognizable thing was originally a precision instrument worth 100,000 crystal coins, but now it is a pile of precious raw materials, and if it is refined, it will probably be able to retrieve the value of more than 300 crystal coins.
"How many are these?" I asked Walmart.
Walmart smiled bitterly and said, "The sixth one, each can only be used once." ”
Eagle said beside him: "Although it is a 100,000 crystal coin, but take into account the effect...... True value. ”
Walmart shook his head and said, "It's not just 100,000 crystal coins, there's 100,000 over there!" She was talking. Not far from us, sixteen cylindrical columns with a diameter of fifty centimeters rose from under the ground, each topped with a flower-like fixture. There is now a white magic crystal in each retainer, and all of them are steaming.
As soon as we walked over, we heard a snap, and the magic crystal on one of the fixers suddenly exploded, followed by a crisp sound, and the other fifteen magic crystals also exploded one after another.
Walmart pointed to the earth magic crystals that had been broken into many small pieces and said, "This is the other 100,000 crystal coins." ”
"It's fierce. The 200,000 crystal coins are gone. ”
I patted the eagle on the shoulder and said, "Where there is input, there is output." This time the profit is large, so the investment can also be increased accordingly, otherwise I wouldn't have used this thing with the magic crystal that Ashuford gave! ”
Rose held the map and said, "We still have three targets to dismantle. Why don't you hurry up and get to work? ”
I nodded. "Walmart, hurry up and replace the launcher, we still have a few targets to dismantle!"
"I'll start here."
The huge boom in the launch chamber began to work again, and what looked a bit like the core of an electric motor was inserted into the mouth of the pipe, and the steel column from the beginning pressed the gate cover back and locked it back. After the steel column is withdrawn, the metal fixed gate has been re-positioned to lock the rotating mechanism, each gate began to be refilled with protective liquid, the gate was sealed again, and finally the main fixed lock outside rotated back to completely lock the pipe mouth. A group of staff brought in large pieces of transparent magic crystals to replace the magic crystals that had no energy, and the metal pillars were lowered back to the ground after the magic crystals were fixed, and the ground was automatically sealed.
The huge Issinger suddenly began to flicker a dozen seconds after the launcher was ready. A vague circle of light appeared around Isengard, the aperture flickered a few times, flickering more and more clearly, and finally suddenly turning into a substantial state and then suddenly began to shrink towards the center. The huge ball of light that enveloped the entire Isenger quickly shrank into a small ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball, and then exploded into a little starlight.
In the sky above Garriman City, the second most important city of the Animal Alliance, a small blue and white ball of light suddenly appeared, and no one noticed the small ball at a height of two thousand meters. The balls of light that looked like ping-pong balls suddenly began to enlarge in the sky, rapidly expanding into a giant ball of light covering the entire city and a large area around it, and then the ball of light exploded like a soap bubble, but there was an even larger city in the sky over the originally empty city of Kaliman.
"Esinger! It's Isenger! "The beast alliance forces in Kaliman City were in chaos almost instantly, they already knew the news of the destruction of the guild headquarters, a few minutes ago some smart people wisely chose to flee before Isengard's attack, these people used the location teleportation scroll to transmit themselves to other cities of the guild, some of them reached Kaliman, and they also brought the bad news of the destruction of the guild headquarters to the people here.
Unfortunately, these people who ran away from the Great Garriman were surprised to find that Issinger had actually followed this side, although we didn't deliberately follow those specific people, but those people felt that they were very unlucky, and they were actually selected twice, but they didn't have much time to regret it. Esinger came here after replacing the launcher. Now that the geo-generator is in a complete state, all that remains is about ten minutes of energy gathering time. Isinger can't keep the concentrator working properly while jumping in space, so he must reach the target area before concentrating. Ten minutes is not too long to say short, and the players of the Beast League of Gariman City chose to use this time to fight back. And hope to save their city with it. Of course, the main reason for this is that they don't know that it only takes ten minutes for Issinger to gather energy, and they think that Issinger can only use a superweapon once today, so they have such courage, otherwise they will definitely choose to directly transfer personnel to save the living force.
Nearly a million air cavalry took off from the city of Kaliman and launched a fearless assault on Isenger in the sky, but Isenger did not react. It's not that we underestimate the enemy, but it's really not necessary. Isenger is now about 1,700 meters above the ground, and it has been a minute since the gathering of energy has begun, and the opposing air cavalry has just taken off. It is necessary to climb 1,700 meters in nine minutes. That is to say, you have to climb nearly 200 meters in one minute. I believe that most Warcraft can reach this speed when flying in a straight line, but the climb altitude is not level flight, and so far I have never seen a Warcraft climb so fast except for a few powerful Warcraft.
Just like we guessed. When the fastest air cavalry was less than two hundred meters away from the bottom launcher of Isengard, a dazzling beam of light had already penetrated the center of the city from Isengar first, and then the same thing happened to the headquarters of the Beast League, Gariman City, which was known as the second most important town of the Beast Alliance, was reduced to nothing in ten seconds, millions of NPC troops and tens of thousands of players were incinerated together, and the direct economic damage was worth trillions of crystal coins. Of course, our guild has spent a lot of money on this. A Super Demon Sabotage Ground Bombardment requires 100,000 Crystal Crystals and a Magic Compression Core worth 100,000 Crystal Coins. Also, in order to destroy Gariman City in a hurry, we activated the jumping device. This thing doesn't have to change parts every time, but the magic crystals it consumes for one jump are about 200,000 crystal coins.
Despite the high price of this jumping attack, considering Ashford's promise that there would be a bonus in advance, we still gritted our teeth and jumped to the third target. There are a total of five targets in Isenger today, and it takes four jumps and five shellings in between, and a total of 1.8 million crystal coins will be used, but this can end the war at least six hours earlier, and our guild can earn back an extra 6 million crystal coins for this. What's more, each member can get extra rewards, which is totally worth it.
Unlike Issinger's side, the ground forces were far more difficult to attack. But that's just relatively speaking, not really that troublesome. The five most difficult targets of the Beast Alliance were all cleared by Issinger, and the cities that really had Asford in charge of were the seventh-ranked cities. This city is a semi-fortress city, except for the large number of cannons, the walls are very high, and the moat is very wide, so there is nothing special about it.
In order to cope with this city, I transferred the Spider Fortress and the Dragonfly Castle here to cooperate with Ashford's offensive mission, when the Dragonfly Castle will first bomb the city, and then the Spider Fortress will forcibly break through into the city to destroy the defensive cannons one by one, and Ashford only needs to solve the moat and the city wall to enter the city and fight with the people of the Beast Alliance.
The entire battle situation of the Beast Alliance has taken a turn for the worse, and the analysts who had expected the Iron Cross and the Beast Alliance to continue until the third day have all noticed the unusual development of the situation. These analysts are not incompetent, and the reason why they are wrong is because the important link of our guild is missing from the intelligence. Originally, it was expected that our guild would only be an auxiliary operation in the nature of helpers, but I didn't expect our guild to send strong troops to participate in the war in an all-round way, so the original analysis results had to be overturned.
It was because of the intelligence gathered by the analysts, and an unexpected piece of information that caused the Iron Cross's one-sided oppressive attack to go into trouble. The source of this unexpected information was the mega gamble, which had nothing to do with the war itself, but now it reflected a problem from the side.
The original bet on the final outcome of the battle stipulated that bets could be continued within ten hours after the start of the war, which was originally an idea thought by the British and French guilds to attract more money, but after the battlefield situation turned one-sided, many people realized the strong intervention of our guilds, and this event has obviously affected the tilt of the balance of the war. Judging from the current situation, the Iron Cross will not have much loss even after the Beast Alliance is eliminated. At least the Foster Alliance is a powerful alliance that will never be able to shake the Iron Cross and our Frost Rose Alliance.
The result of this prediction is that those who bought the winner of the Foster League realized that the gambling tickets in their hands could not be redeemed into funds, and the funds they invested must have been lost. Gamblers who find out about the problem in advance certainly don't want to watch their money go down the drain, and they all start thinking about how to recover their losses, or at least reduce them. There are only two ways to do this. The first is to find a way to help the Foster Alliance. Let them win, and then there will be no problem with the ticket in their hand. But this method is actually hopeless at all, the strong alliance of the two major guilds of China and Germany is no longer a simple guild force, and there is no hope of resisting under the overwhelming superiority of this alliance. Since you can't use this method, there is only one last method, which is to buy the Iron Cross Victory bet again, so that you can use the funds of this side of the victory to carry the deficit of the other side, as long as you have one-third of the original capital investment, you can ensure that you do not lose money, and if you have enough money, you can even make a small profit again.
This second method is not a complicated solution, and many people have thought of this solution. Everyone is not stupid, they do it as soon as they think of it, and all those who can still mobilize funds start to buy the Iron Cross victory. I was going to use this to close the shortfall, but herein lies the problem.
When those who had worked hard to raise funds wanted to buy the stakes of the victory of the Iron Cross, they were surprised to find that they could not buy them, and the gambling assistance system specially applied by the British and French guilds actually refused to accept new bets, but the end time for the purchase of stakes had not yet arrived, and the early termination of the system could only be a reason. That's full funding.
The English and French guilds in the place where the game is opened need to provide a starting capital before the game starts, which is the banker's principal. After the odds are drawn, everyone starts to bet on what they think is a possible outcome, at which point the system calculates all the money that has been invested and the results of the three endings in advance. If it is found that the amount of compensation to be paid after the victory of any kind of betting funds exceeds the sum of the banker's principal and the total amount of funds invested by the subsequent parties, it is confirmed that the project is no longer capable of compensation, and the system will suspend the purchase of this item to avoid the situation that someone buys the correct result and does not get the money after the win.
Before the start of this war, everyone thought that the Foster Alliance would win, so the Anglo-French Guild thought that the funds to buy the Foster Alliance should be overwhelming, while the funds of the other two sides should be relatively small. All the money paid by all parties plus the banker's initial principal is the full amount of compensation for this gamble, and the two parties with high odds would have been considered to have no chance of winning, so the Anglo-French bank would have thought that it was a good idea to open high odds to attract those who like to take risks to throw money. The Foster Union, on the other hand, lowered the odds and tried to spend as little as possible. With such a large amount of money, it stands to reason that it should be able to support a fairly high purchase volume, but in the case of this sudden change in the direction of the wind, the Anglo-French guild suddenly found that the result of the victory of the Iron Cross could no longer accept new bets, that is, someone bought up the compensation amount, so that the system protection was activated to prohibit further purchases.
The amount is fully bought, which means that once the result of this direction wins, all the invested funds and the banker's principal will now be paid, and the result is that the person who buys the other two parties, including the banker, will lose all their money together. Gambling is managed by the system, the British and French banks are only responsible for providing the principal, and finally they can also get some organization fees after the whole gambling is over, and if the compensation amount that needs to be paid for the winning answer in the gambling is not high, the rest of the funds are the banker's. In fact, the real gambling dealer always wins, is there a loss, the British and French banks will suddenly find that they opened a gambling game to eat all their dealer's principal, how can not be in a hurry.
The two great guilds of England and France were pondering why the Iron Cross victory was bought out, and it was clear that scattered individual investments could not do this, and the only possibility was large-scale organized investment. When it comes to the strong intervention of our guilds, it is already clear that it is our guild that pays for the Iron Cross to win, and then intervenes strongly to help the Iron Cross win and win a lot of money.
Such a simple routine was quickly analyzed, but now the situation is that the options for the victory of the Iron Cross have been fully bought, and the Anglo-French guilds, as the organizers, are powerless to modify them. The smooth sailing of the Iron Cross and our guild was abrupt because of this gamble that should not have affected the outcome of the battle, and the Anglo-French guilds took the same plan after understanding what our guild was doing. At this time, I can't care about face, and it's more important than face or money. The Anglo-French guild threw away the mantle of the dealer, rolled up their sleeves and went out to fight in person.
Originally, I expected the battle to end before five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, after all, the battlefield has been a one-sided slaughter, and the Beast Alliance seems to be very strong, but under the joint attack of our guild and the Iron Cross, there is no chance to fight back. However, at about 6 o'clock in the evening Berlin time, the battlefield suddenly reversed. A unit of the Iron Cross Army, which had just destroyed a beast alliance city, was suddenly attacked by an army of unknown origin among the transferees, and as a result, after losing more than 100,000 NPCs and more than 10,000 players, it retreated to another nearby friendly unit, but after the two forces merged, they were still attacked on a larger scale, and more than 500,000 NPCs were all killed within three hours, and the player troops directly lost more than 20,000 people, and a large number of siege equipment was destroyed. But the battle at least sent back a definite piece of information.
"It's the British and French troops." The resurrected Iron Cross player nodded in front of me and Ashford with great certainty, "I'm sure I'm right. Although they did not carry the national flag, I saw the special professions of France and England, and there were many of them. Even if someone in Germany chooses a class with British and French characteristics, it is impossible for us to appear in such a dense army, so I am sure that the other party is definitely a joint force of the Anglo-French guild. ”
After listening to the words of the Iron Crosser, Rose said to us, "It seems that our big deal has finally attracted the attention of the Anglo-French guilds. ”
"I'm afraid this is inevitable, after all, our investment amount is too big, and it would be strange if we couldn't find it again."
