Chapter 48: Shelling
After the outbreak of the Awakened crisis, because the rate of evolution of the Awakened was so fast, governments reached an agreement to keep the latest information of the Awakened available from various places on a daily basis. For this reason, Lin Feng also learned about the battle that took place in San Francisco.
In fact, although the protection of the fourth-level awakened is strong, it is not an invincible existence. The reason why they can use thermobaric bombs, or even multi-ton guided bombs, to bomb them at close range without dying is only because these bombs seem to be hugely powerful, but in fact they are large-scale surface kills, and the energy to really directly attack the awakened is very small - maybe even less than one hundredth.
Use the Tan (Crab) Cannon and the Long Barrel Cannon, and fire armor-piercing shells for direct-aim shooting, hitting the Level 4 Awakened like a Tan (Crab) Gram. This is currently the most effective way for scientists to kill the fourth-level awakened, the kinetic energy bullet fired by the long-barreled artillery, the energy is highly concentrated at one point, as long as it hits the target, the huge kinetic energy can definitely easily smash the protective turtle shell on the fourth-level awakened person - this statement has been unanimously agreed by scientists, the only problem is that the fourth-level awakened are extremely fast and small, and it is not easy to hit them directly.
The Type 59 130mm cannon, which is an "old cannon" equipped with the Chinese army in the seventies, although the gun is old, the power is huge. Lin Feng chose him purely because of his huge 130 mm caliber. Although the shells in the base are all grenades, Lin Feng, under the guidance of the artillery experts in the base, used the ability to control the deformation of metal and the ability to strengthen the substance (harvested from Du Lei) to temporarily create a full-caliber armor-piercing bullet with a large charge.
According to the estimation of artillery experts, the kinetic energy of this full-caliber kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile with an increased firing charge is twice that of the 125-gun armor-piercing projectile on the 99 Tan (Crab) gram. In order to prevent too much charge from causing the gun to explode, Lin Feng specially asked Du Lei to "strengthen" the barrel of the 130mm cannon.
In terms of armor-piercing ability, this full-caliber kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile is definitely not as good as the shell-out sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile fired by the regular 125 gun, but Lin Feng wants kinetic energy rather than armor-piercing ability, for Xiaoqiang, who has strong vitality among awakened people like Earthworm Man, the hammer that flattens him with one blow is far more effective than the iron cone that pierces with one blow.
After transforming the artillery and shells, Lin Feng found the best place to place the artillery near the warehouse. With the help of several power-type evolutionaries in the base, he quickly dug a pit at the designated ambush site, and after placing the entire gun, only a piece of the barrel was left above the ground. In order to guarantee the stability and accuracy of the shot, he again used the ability to "melt metal", firmly fixing the base of the gun to the ground. Then, in order to ensure the accuracy of the artillery, he used his innate ability to see through the structure and defects of the material and the skill of controlling the metal form to adjust the shooting of the gun.
It took nearly an hour before Lin Feng completed the preparation of the artillery and shells. At the same time, the cooking squad in the base was also mobilized, and when the artillery was erected, the cooking squad also sent the roasted suckling pig with a fragrant aroma.
The leader of the cooking class is nicknamed Zhang Xiaopang, but he is actually a thin man, and he said to Lin Feng apologetically:
"Because of lack of time, only a layer of skin was cooked."
Lin Feng smelled the fragrance from afar and nodded: "It's okay to have a fragrance!" ”
Huo Yuntian patted him on the shoulder and said, "After killing that guy, I will give you a second-class credit for all the cooking classes!" ”
Zhang Xiaopang pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Why isn't it a first-class merit?" ”
"If you accompany Lin Feng to lure the Awakened out, I will give you a first-class credit!"
Zhang Xiaopang touched (crab) and touched his bare head, thought about it, his thin body trembled, and between first-class merit and his life, he still chose the latter.
Huo Yuntian looks like a very vicious person on the outside, but in fact, his temper is the opposite, and the soldiers can make some small jokes in front of him.
The person who manipulated the artillery was Zhao Qingfeng, and his ability was to be good at manipulating long-range weapons. However, his ability was somewhat special, which was related to the special structure of his eyes after evolution, and Lin Feng was unable to harvest this ability. Lin Feng himself is also a master of shooting, but his shooting skills are 'calculated' by relying on his own insight and calculation ability, which is completely different from Zhao Qingfeng's instinctive natural ability. Although Lin Feng couldn't help him develop new abilities, after analyzing Zhao Qingfeng's eye structure, he was able to put forward a lot of constructive suggestions, and under his guidance, Zhao Qingfeng's ability to use long-range weapons was greatly improved. This ambush against the Level 4 Awakened will be up to him to manipulate the artillery. In order to prevent Zhao Qingfeng from missing out because he was too nervous, Lin Feng specially temporarily closed his emotional reaction and forcibly put him in an extremely calm state.
Everything was ready, and Lin Feng came to the door of the warehouse with the roast suckling pig. A line was drawn between the two poles in front of his warehouse, and the suckling pig hung on the line, only one meter and a half above the ground, and the cannon was placed less than fifty meters away from here, which was not even time for the awakened to dodge once the cannon was fired, as long as it could hit.
After hanging the suckling pig, Lin Feng used the firewood that had been placed in advance to light a fire under the suckling pig - the fire was to guide the target for Zhao Qingfeng when shooting. When the suckling pig began to bubble due to the heat, Lin Feng used the ability to manipulate the wind from the harvest to wrap the hot gas and send it into the air window of the grain depot.
The rich aroma of meat (crab) continued to waft into the warehouse, and Lin Feng clearly felt that the originally calm life magnetic field of the fourth-level awakened person in the warehouse began to show signs of fluctuation.
An overly keen sense of taste and smell dooms coolers to become natural foodies.
They don't have much wisdom and have a very poor resistance to food. Dozens of seconds later, Lin Feng suddenly retreated more than ten meters away, and at this moment, the wall near the door of the warehouse suddenly shattered to the ground, and then a serpentine creature more than five meters long rushed out of the warehouse, moving as fast as lightning, and pounced on the suckling pig at once.
"As I expected!"
Lin Feng's position of hanging the suckling pig is also very particular, it happens to be in a line with the artillery and the awakened people in the warehouse, and at the same time, the position where this line passes happens to be a relatively fragile brick wall rather than a solid steel door. In such a position, Zhao Qingfeng can easily shoot without making too many adjustments.
Rumble!
The 130mm cannon let out an earth-shattering roar, and this overcharged full-caliber armor-piercing projectile came out of the muzzle at a speed of more than 1,300 meters per second - if Du Lei hadn't strengthened the barrel beforehand, such an overcharge would have caused the gun to explode.
The earthworm man who was pounced on the suckling pig was hit in the head by Zhao Qingfeng with a shot in the air. When Lin Feng's ears were still buzzing with the sound of artillery, the earthworm's body had already flown backwards. The huge kinetic energy of the 130 mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectile instantly tore through the energy shield of the protective body like a hammer, and then the roaring artillery shell smashed the entire head into an exploding watermelon, and the piercing shell flew into the warehouse with strong kinetic power, and did not know where to fly after piercing the other wall.
The headless earthworm man's body fell to the ground, and the five-meter-long headless corpse still writhed on the ground as if alive for more than ten seconds before stopping.
There was silence all around, until Lin Feng praised it: Good fight! The people who were lying in ambush waiting for the results to wait for the results began to cry out like a tide.
