Chapter 292: Magic Cannon and Magic Crystal Cannon
If magic is compared to a bullet, the magic cannon is a high-explosive sub-munition, and the magic crystal cannon is a large-caliber high-explosive armor-piercing projectile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info There is an end to manpower, but it can be done with the help of tools. Although the Celestial Star is a magical civilization that is close to the medieval era, its "technology" level is far superior to that of the human civilization of the Earth Age with the blessing of magic.
Although the Magic Cannon and the Magic Crystal Cannon both use Magic Crystals as energy and ammunition, their mechanisms of action are completely different. The cannonball of the magic cannon is more like a one-time magic scroll, and the magic crystal is engraved with a large area of magic with two or more opposing attributes. It doesn't require a high level of magic, it requires a large enough range of magic.
In terms of operation principle, the magic cannon is similar to the optical fiber guided anti-tank missile on the earth, and the operator's spiritual power turns into a guiding silk thread with the help of the magic array inside the magic cannon, and detonates the magic crystal engraved with magic in the air above the target, triggering the magic array of opposing attributes, causing multiple magic damage.
The cannonball of the magic crystal cannon is like a disposable artifact, the tip of the missile-shaped magic crystal is engraved with the magic alloy of the magic array of strengthening, armor piercing, self-sharpening, poison, sharpness, etc., the middle is the magic crystal body engraved with the magic array of bursting, shattering, and opposing attributes, and the tail is the related advancing magic array.
In terms of operating principle, the Magic Crystal Cannon is similar to ground-penetrating and armor-piercing bullets on the earth, relying on its own kinetic energy and solid attributes to break the target's defense, detonate deep into the target, and cause huge damage to the target. The magic crystal cannon relies on speed, and the extreme speed beyond the spiritual power link makes it impossible to be controlled by mental power, and also gives it unparalleled destructive power.
The innate attributes of the magic cannon and the magic crystal cannon determine their different division of labor, the magic cannon is used to clear the field, which is suitable for dealing with large-scale cluster targets; The Crystal Cannon is suitable for decapitation, especially against some large targets. Small targets can move faster than the speed of the Crystal Projectile, and no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless.
Both of these magical weapons are limited to use in war space, and cannot and are not allowed to be used in battles outside of war space. Relying on the magic cannon, a magic apprentice who has just cultivated his spiritual power can easily slaughter a city; Relying on the Demon Crystal Cannon, even a non-cultivator could easily kill an adult dragon.
The status of this kind of thing in the Heavenly Saint Continent is like the status of nuclear weapons on the earth, and it is even more important than that status. Of course, this kind of weapon can only be manufactured by the Heavenly Saint Academy, especially the micro-carved magic array in the magic crystal cannon shell, and only the Heavenly Saint Academy has this kind of technology.
"Poof, poof, poof, poof......" The magic cannon is fired almost silently, and the cannonballs of the magic cannon are not flying very fast or may not even break through the speed of sound. Its flight speed and trajectory are completely controlled by the operator, and it is light and agile. The wide range of damage also makes the magic cannon not care about accuracy at all, and its flexible maneuvering allows it to dodge various interceptions.
Compared to the silence of the magic cannon, the firing of the magic crystal cannon is similar to a tsunami of a mountain. The formation of a sonic boom ring at the muzzle indicates that the shell has a huge enormous ejection velocity far beyond the speed of sound, and this high-speed movement causes violent air fluctuations, resulting in a terrifying scream.
If the tide of star insects is regarded as a marker painted on the whiteboard, then the magic cannon is like a board eraser, erasing the star insects from the whiteboard one by one. The killing mechanism of the magic cannon is divided into two phases, one is two independent magic kills, and the other is a mixed kill of two opposing elemental energies.
For Star Worms, the first simple magic killing effect is actually very limited, under the same mental power and energy supply, the larger the range of magic, the lower its single damage must be. It's not that there is no such world-destroying forbidden spell magic, but that kind of magic can only be used by the magic saints who have touched the edge of the rules and the magic gods who have mastered some of the rules.
The magic that can be burned into a magic cannon cannonball can be no more than level five, that is, the magic that can be used in the fifth realm. The reason is very simple, the problem of the bearing capacity of the magic crystal. The fifth-level magic crystal of the demonic beast can be engraved with fourth-level magic, and the magic crystal of the sixth-level demonic beast can be engraved with fifth-level magic. A sixth-level demonic beast can beat two human professionals in the same realm, and their magic crystals are not so easy to obtain.
Therefore, the main damage of the magic cannon does not come from the engraved magic itself, but from the interaction of two opposing attributes of magic to catalyze the formation of an annihilation storm. According to the principle of lethality, the antimatter weapons of technological civilization are the closest to this storm of annihilation, but the destructive power caused by the opposition of attributes in energy is far greater than that of the opposition of attributes in matter.
The first burst of the stargate will always release only some cannon fodder stream of star insects, which are huge in number but not very high in level. The body of the black tide that Luo Tian and the others are facing now is a group of fierce beasts called dark blood rats, and the prototype is the most common dark rat in the underground caves on the Heavenly Saint Continent.
This dark blood rat is extremely fast, vicious in nature, and will devour all living things it encounters. The teeth are very good, and the armor made of grade 5 metal is like a biscuit to them. However, fortunately, their bodies are extremely fragile, and Level 3 magic can easily kill them, and it is a range of death.
But ants bite elephants, let alone rats. Their insane, bloodthirsty nature drives them to destroy obstacles that stand in their way, and in this case, even a dragon thrown outside the wall will be devoured alive.
However, this crispy beast happens to be the most suitable target for the magic cannon, and the dark blood rats within the scope of the magic cannon will not even leave their corpses, and the violent energy collision will completely crush their fragile bodies, and even turn them into flying ashes. Such targets don't even have to be done by professionals, and they are unlikely to even get close to the walls.
This kind of target does not require the magic crystal cannon to attack, and the magic crystal cannon is generally aimed at the flesh shield-type beasts and flying beasts that appear in the second round of impact. The battle routine of the Star Gate can be said to have not changed for hundreds of millions of years, and if the Star Gate appeared in the city of an empire in the outside world, it would definitely be a devastating disaster. But now that the stargate is in the trap of the human plan, this combat routine is a little backward.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and Xingmen is being beaten now. Except for being able to consume some of the human Magic Crystal Inventory, the Dark Blood Rat has no strategic significance. Although the magic crystal is very precious, the magic cannon now uses only ordinary fourth-level magic crystals. For the Heavenly Saint Academy, which has hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, the fourth-level magic crystal is really not much more precious than a stone.
Although he didn't know the situation in several other war spaces, Luo Tian estimated that they should all be about the same. The invasion of the Stargate seems to be very deterrent, but in fact the previous waves simply did not pose any threat to the war space. The accumulation of hundreds of millions of years is enough to offset the low-end riot strategy of the Star Worm, and the real threat is still the mid-to-high-end Star Worm Riot Soldier.
