Chapter 1121: The Road to the Bomb
Pork Chop had an excited, even somewhat fanatical smile on his face.
In general, combat cats are divided into two branches: melee cats and bomb cats.
Although he is also good at melee combat, he loves to study all kinds of big bang pork chops, and emotionally prefers that he is a bomb cat.
Aside from technical factors such as the timing of the bomb for the time being, the role that the bomb cat can play in battle naturally depends on the type and power of the bomb.
In the early hunting, the bomb cat was very dominant, even if it was an ordinary keg bomb, if it was thrown at a good time, it could blow up monsters such as the big boar king and the dragon king.
But when hunters enter the four-star, five-star, and need to face large wyverns, beast dragons, or other large monsters with rough skin and thick flesh, the most commonly used barrel bombs of bomb cats are relatively weak, and the large barrel bombs with enough power are too large to be easy to carry.
As a result, the bomb cats of this period will appear to be relatively weak.
Melee cats are the opposite, melee cats that grow up with hunters gradually begin to master the power of fighting spirit during this period, and with high-quality weapons and flexible skills, their combat effectiveness is not even inferior to that of hunters.
Of course, pork chops have faced this dilemma, and there are two solutions to it.
The first is to study all kinds of new explosive bombs, such as more powerful rocket bombs, gyro bombs used to distract monsters, incendiary bombs that can continue to burn on monsters, etc., were all researched during that time.
The second is "join if you can't compare", and it has grown in martial arts, trap arrangement, first aid, and even cooking during that time.
By the time it comes to its senses, it has become a true all-rounder, and can proudly say that "a bomb cat that can't open a scoop on a monster with a catsword is not a good cat cook".
At this time, it was also promoted to the upper realm with Gordon, and began to face all kinds of ancient dragon-level creatures with amazing strength.
Melee? Bombs? Support? Or is it a cure? It doesn't matter anymore, in the face of Gu Long, it is impossible to win without trying his best to use all means.
At that time, the pork chops were about to succumb to reality, giving up their love for explosive bombs, and in order to make up for the lack of frontal combat ability, it also learned the high-level skill of ghost humanization, which is generally only learned by powerful melee cats.
During that time, it was less common to use explosive bombs, and more often used steel claws to scratch and catsword to slash.
However, the finalization and mass production of high-density dragon killer carbon in the later stage, as well as the successful development of supernova, let it see the future of the bomb cat.
Bomb cat weakness in the late stage? That's purely because the equivalent is not enough meow!
As long as the explosives are powerful enough, the ancient dragon will blow up and show you a meow!
There is actually nothing wrong with this idea, if the pork chop can really replace all the conventional explosives carried on its body with high-density dragon killing carbon, the combat effectiveness will indeed be quite scary.
But that's not realistic, the blending cost of high-density dragon killing carbon is too high, and a small amount of it will be used by Anhill to make a supernova.
I have to say that the power of this thing is suitable for cannonballs and crossbows.
Use it to throw it away. I'm afraid that there will be a situation where the explosion radius is greater than the throwing distance.
Therefore, pork chops have always wanted to find high-quality explosives that can achieve the perfect balance of power, cost, stability and other aspects.
Originally, the pork chop aimed at the kind of degraded mass-produced version of the dragon slaying carbon developed by the alchemists led by the alchemist mother-in-law in the battle to stop the molten mountain dragon.
The power is good, the cost of materials is acceptable, the only flaw is the catastrophic instability, after the reconciliation is completed, it is basically immobile, and even the slightest violent vibration can detonate it.
The solution is naturally there, it is nothing more than passivation, but the result of that is a diving drop in power, and the gains outweigh the losses.
As it tries to solve this puzzle, Babaka and the drunkards bring in samples of ancient slime molds.
Intuition told the pork chop that the slime mold had a higher ceiling, so it reversed the direction of its research.
After this period of unremitting efforts, the slime mold bomb that can be used in actual combat has finally taken shape.
Gordon, Feng Ying, and Hayatta crouched around the pork chop, looking at the strange explosive bomb in the latter's hand, which was about the size of an adult man's fist.
This thing doesn't look like a bomb, the shell of the bomb is generally made of wood, on the one hand, it is light, on the other hand, it is relatively strong and safe, and the cost is not high.
But the shell of the bomb in the chop's hand was thick glass, a shape that hunters were all too familiar with.
"Isn't this a standard potion bottle?" muttered Feng Ying.
"That's right, meow!" Pork chop fork waist, "The ancient slime mold is very powerful, so a little bit of the charge is enough meow, no need to make it bigger, the advantages of the wooden shell glass also have meow, and the medicine bottle is a ready-made meow!" ”
"Makes sense." Hayatta nodded, "The glass jar is big and easy to break, but the small glass jar is strong and can withstand bumps. ”
To be able to become a widely used pharmaceutical bottle, the reliability of this type of glass bottle is absolutely guaranteed.
Gordon picked up the glass bottle and looked at it, and found that it contained half a bottle of moss with soil, and a small amount of snot like amorphous flint slime mold mixed in it.
"This is a petri dish in the shape of a bottle, right?" He couldn't help but ask.
"That's it, it's very safe at this time!" The pork chop held the glass bottle and shook it vigorously.
The soil, mosses and amoebae in the bottle poured around, and nothing happened.
"And how is this thing going to detonate?" Feng Ying asked.
"Load the 'lead' meow!" The pork chop took out a small sealed glass tube that was two or three centimeters long and the thickness of the little finger.
The glass tube is filled with a light blue liquid.
Feng Ying somewhat understood, "This is a nutrient solution?" ”
"It's almost meow, it's a special nutrient solution that has been adjusted according to the 'taste' of ancient slime molds, and the enzymes used to activate slime molds are also in it!
When touched by these meows, slime molds will multiply rapidly, and then activate the detonating meows in just a few seconds! ”
Feng Ying remembered something, pinched her chin and said, "You say that, it reminds me of a special monster?" ”
"Meow?"
"There is a unique monster called 'Garan Ourangu (Rigid Entanglement' that lives in Elgad, it secretes a bodily fluid, which has the effect of rapidly giving birth to various plants and mosses, what is it called, a very thick body fat fluid?
If you use that thing as a nutrient for slime molds, will the effect be so good that it will explode? ”
"It should work well, meow." Pork Chop squinted at her, "But maybe you got that kind of thing now?" ”
"Ahem, it's really unlikely." Feng Ying smiled dryly, "Next time a liaison ship comes, maybe you can write back and ask Blaze to help send some over?" ”
"We'll talk about that later." Gordon waved his hand, "Let's see how this thing works, and how powerful it is?" ”
"Look at the meow, that's how it is used."
Pork Chop said, pulling the lid of the glass medicine bottle and stuffing the glass tube containing the nutrients inside.
"In this way, even if the lead is installed, this step can be done before the battle, and you don't have to worry about accidents such as accidental explosions."
As he spoke, the pork chop shook the glass bottle vigorously again.
The glass tube hit the thick wall of the glass vial, and immediately shattered, mixed with nutrients that activated the enzyme in advance and sprinkled on the slime mold, the slime fungus proliferated rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it swelled the entire glass bottle, and then emitted a dangerous red light.
"Meow!" The pork chop threw the glass vial, which had turned into a powerful bomb.
The vial, no, the slime mold bomb drew a parabola and fell to the ground dozens of meters away.
The moment it touched the ground and was impacted, it exploded with flames.
"Boom ——!"
The deafening roar swept around with the blasting wind, and the hunters kept raising their arms to block the incoming wind and sand.
When the sand and dust cleared, a large crater with a diameter of nearly one meter appeared at the landing point of the slime mold bomb.
"Tsk." Gordon was speechless, "Such a small one, the power is almost comparable to that of a large barrel of bombs, right?" ”
"Meow ha! Almost meow! ”
"It's a bomb named after a mushroom." Feng Ying grinned, looking proud.
"But I really want to call it slime fungus bomb meow"
