Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dragon's Cannon
The willpower of the Heroic Soul is certainly strong.
The mechanic's torrent of steel is certainly ferocious.
The beast master's control of biochemical behemoths and overwhelming insect tides is certainly majestic and terrifying.
However, when the warrior has studied the mysteries of psionic energy and genes to the extreme, he can blast out a world-destroying nirvana, directly killing the bodies of the heroic spirit envoys, mechanics, and beast masters.
The main body is destroyed, what is the use of the heroic spirit, the steel torrent and the insect tide behemoth?
Therefore, "warrior" ranks first among the four major combat professions.
At least, for the time being.
"Warrior, ......"
This time, even Meng Chao's eyes couldn't help but shine.
This kind of feeling of punching to the flesh and using his own flesh and blood to blast open a golden avenue is impossible for any hot-blooded young man to ignore.
Just as I was thinking about it, the "click" of the roaring wheels suddenly became different.
They have crossed the railway bridge and come to the Jiangnan region.
The air here is more viscous than Jiangbei, as if the smell of blood, steel and gunpowder smoke has condensed together, like two drill bits, one is drilling into people's nostrils.
Many candidates couldn't help but sneeze wildly, and then looked out the window in a daze, forgetting to shout.
Thousands of armored airships are suspended in the sky, and there are thousands of the latest tanks on the ground, which is a literal torrent of steel.
Witnessing such a majestic military formation with your own eyes and watching live TV are completely different concepts.
"That's the 'Longwei Cannon', it's so spectacular!" Some candidates couldn't help but curse.
Everyone hula ran to the side of the car and leaned out of the window to see.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a super cannon as majestic as a mountain squatted on a specially made extra-wide railroad track like a steel behemoth.
Dragon Power Cannon, Dragon City's ultimate strategic deterrent weapon.
The barrel is 88 meters long, the total length in combat condition is 211 meters, the height is 25 meters, the total weight is 7500 tons, each armor-piercing shell weighs 20 tons, the high-explosive shell weighs ten tons, and the fuel for propelling one shell alone weighs 2 to 5 tons!
After the Dragon City crossed, due to material deformation and psychic magnetic interference, almost all cruise missiles could not be used, and the accuracy of tactical missiles was also greatly affected.
Missiles need satellites to be guided in synchronous orbits in order to exert maximum lethality, and now Longcheng doesn't even have satellites, so how can you play with missiles?
Without a "winner" such as cruise missiles, it is difficult to deal with the king of monsters.
Ordinary monsters can certainly be crushed by the torrent of steel, but those super beasts with fast speed, high defense, and a certain amount of wisdom often adopt the strategy of "hit and run", sneak into Dragon City to wreak havoc, and slip away before being besieged by the Red Dragon Army and the transcendents, so angry that the earthlings jump to their feet, but there is no way to take them.
It wasn't until the earthlings spared no expense that they sent a large number of exploration teams to explore the areas with the richest spiritual energy in the monster mountain range, and finally found the lair of these monster kings.
You must know that not just any horn is qualified to become the lair of a high-level super beast.
Like humans, they like to choose the "blessed land" with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant resources to live, and a high-quality nest is the basis for the reproduction of the group.
Most of these nests are located in the extreme depths of the mist, and it is impossible to send a large army to directly encircle and suppress them.
And cruise missiles are also ineffective, unable to accurately attack such a long distance.
However, the ancient train cannon, through the frenzied amplification of otherworldly metal and psionic technology, was able to increase the range to more than 200 kilometers.
The Longwei Cannon was born.
If a doomsday beast dares to invade Dragon City without knowing whether it is alive or dead, yes, the earthlings may not be able to catch you, but it is still possible to pick up the Longwei cannon and blow your nest to pieces.
Of course, the casting and maintenance of the Longwei Giant Cannon consumes countless resources, and the cost of each cannon is also astronomical.
Moreover, the doomsday beast whose lair was destroyed is very likely to go berserk in an instant and rush into Dragon City to die together.
Therefore, the Longwei Cannon belongs to the strategic deterrence of nuclear weapons, and it is rarely launched again except for a few cannons that have just been completed to deter high-level super beasts.
But this does not prevent it from becoming the patron saint of all the citizens of Longcheng, and it is also a symbol of the most ferocious heavy industry capacity of human civilization.
"Did you hear, the engineer is modifying the Longwei cannon, and now it can even fire 'nuclear shells'!" Someone said with a treacherous look in his eyes.
Immediately, there was a stir of discussions.
The question of "whether Dragon City has nuclear weapons" has been a hot topic that teenagers have been talking about for decades.
Although the Survival Committee, the Transcendent Tower, and the top brass of the Red Dragon Army are all secretive about this, the people still generally believe that there must be, right?
The super-giant train cannon fires nuclear shells, and it's exciting to think about it.
"I really want to see the majestic posture of the Longwei Giant Cannon with full firepower!" Someone salivated.
Immediately aroused the unanimous approval of other candidates.
"Still don't want to, right?" Another girl said, "Once the Longwei cannon fires, or even fires nuclear shells, it means that Longcheng is in the most dangerous situation." ”
This sentence provoked another inhalation sound, and everyone thought about it, what kind of terrifying enemy is worthy of making the Longwei cannon roar?
Still don't.
Meng Chao's heart moved, his temples tingled, and the picture of the roar of the Longwei giant cannon appeared in front of him.
His pupils contracted suddenly, and in an instant, they returned to their original state.
Beyond the dragon cannon, it is getting closer and closer to the high wall of mist.
The fog is like a towering, frozen wave.
No, not solidifying, the fog slowly wriggled like a giant gaseous creature that could swallow the city at any moment.
The closer you get to the edge of the city, the more serious the spatial overlap becomes, and the terrain and landforms belonging to the earth and the terrain and landforms of the other world are intertwined.
There are still rows of high-rise buildings in front of you, and a lush primeval jungle will soon appear.
It's still a neat factory and street, and soon encounters bottomless crevices with strangely shaped otherworldly plants.
Occasionally, some agile beasts crawled out of the abyss, shook in front of the earthlings, and then burrowed back into the abyss.
The sound of cannon could be faintly heard in the fog, and the endless fighting continued.
Coming to the front line of the competition between humans and monsters for living space, the candidates were all enthusiastic.
"The exam room is here, get off, hurry up, get off all of them!"
From the moment the armored train was boarded, militarized controls were imposed,shouted an officer.
The candidates were transported by tracked military vehicles to the gate of a vine-strenched, crumbling, long-abandoned factory.
Lined with barracks, well-trained soldiers surrounded the factory.
Under the command of the officer, the candidates were divided into two teams, men and women, and went to bathe and change clothes, respectively.
This is to check for serious wounds on their bodies and to prevent them from carrying cheating items.
It was replaced by a camouflage suit woven from biochemical materials, as thin as a cicada's wing, covered with extremely thin lines and various interfaces.
Just as the candidates were wondering how to defend themselves against monsters with such thin combat uniforms, a team of soldiers carrying huge spray cans stepped forward, raised the hose, and connected the spout to the chest of the camouflage uniform.
"Phew!"
The jelly-like protective gel in the spray can was sprayed into the mezzanine of the camouflage uniform, making the camouflage uniform swell up like an inflatable life jacket, but it was not clumsy, but conformed to the lines of human muscles, and it seemed that every candidate was so strong and strong.
These gels, which are non-Newtonian fluid substances, do not affect the candidate's normal movements.
But once it encounters an external super-high-speed strike, such as bullet splashing or monster claws tearing, it can be as hard as iron in an instant, and its defensive power far exceeds that of ordinary body armor.
The soldiers also equipped various monitoring equipment, communication equipment and cameras on the interface of camouflage uniforms to ensure communication and safety.
Finally, candidates wear a small and delicate military communicator on their wrists to remind them of various exam information.
Buckle on the multi-functional helmet made of ultra-light alloy, and the candidates who have a new look, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are so excited that they scream.
"Didi", and soon, the display of the wrist communicator lit up.
Test the system first to see if the data link is normal, and whether all the physiological parameters of the candidates are connected to the main control computer.
Subsequently, the content of this year's "undergraduate practical test" jumped out.
Every year, the undergraduate test is required to "completely simulate actual combat", and this year is especially so, even the prompt information is not "college entrance examination content" but "combat mission".
Combat Missions:
"The fog south of the Chilong River has retreated ten kilometers in the past six months, causing our army to discover many earth buildings hidden in the depths of the fog.
"In a large number of these factories, it is very likely that there are important facilities and strategic materials.
"The task of our army's '5523' unit is to clean up the current area of the former 'Dawn Machinery Factory', eliminate all the monsters entrenched in the factory area, and return this factory to the embrace of human civilization!"
"5523" is the serial number of the examination room, and when it comes to the mission information, it becomes the name of the unit.
"The scope of the mission, within the walls of the former Dawn Machinery Factory.
"There may be monsters: fierce rats, the number is unknown, and it is suspected that there are very many of them; Phantom cats, several; The rest of the high-level monsters, unknown.
"The mission time, from twelve o'clock tonight to six o'clock tomorrow morning, a total of six hours!"
