After listening to the introduction, Soshiyan stared at the position of Supreme Valia, and thought in his mind, nodding for a while.
"I understand, thank you for your answer, let's go and do your own business."
Just as the other three sages left, the sage Alatimos did not move, but waited for the others to leave and approached Soshiyan.
"Sir, the director told me something before leaving, but before you were busy with military affairs, you dare not disturb you..."
As he said that, he turned to look at Ditrian in the distance, and Soshyan immediately understood what the other party meant.
"Ditrien, you go out first."
Ditrian said nothing, got up and left the conference room, and then the Sage of Alatimos spoke:
"To thank you for your assistance in forging the world and for your contribution to the enemy of mankind, the Director is willing to provide you and your warriors with a powerful weapon."
"oh?"
At first, Soshiyan thought it was a Terminator or something, so he smiled.
"Thank you very much."
Perhaps because he realized that Soshiyang was a little disapproving, the sage stretched out a metal tentacle to connect it to the data panel, followed by a projection of water waves, and then something with an extremely complex structure appeared.
"This is..."
Soshiyang looked at this thing, because he hadn't caught a cold for mechanical equipment and other things, he didn't see what it was.
"Sir, this is the pride of Alatimos, and it is also the result of the wisdom of our greatest ancestors and geniuses, the flash cannon."
"The light flash cannon...how powerful is it?"
"Sir, I'm not bragging about it. This is the most extreme laser weapon that humans can make at the limit that real physics can allow! It can even be said to be the strongest energy weapon of humans under the same volume! What you see is the scale loaded on a gunboat, but even so its power is unimaginable to ordinary people. It has two types of fire modes, one is wide-area shooting, which can completely evaporate almost a small city in an instant, but requires sacrificing range, and the other is the centralized shooting mode, which has a longer range and penetration energy. In this mode, even the fully prepared warrior-level Titan cannot stop a shot!"
"hiss--"
Even Soshiyang, who had seen the most powerful weapons of the human and Aida clans, couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this power. But then he thought, it seemed that the "big cake" like the Mechanical Cultivation Society had been drawing many times in the past ten thousand years. Many weapons were very powerful in theory, but they were either unable to be created or very unstable.
In order not to hurt the other party's self-esteem, Soshiyang said tactfully:
"Aratimos must have been developing such a powerful weapon for many years, right? Was it only completed recently?"
But the other party shook his head.
"Sir, this is not an experimental weapon. It was designed and built ten thousand years ago."
"Hmm? But why some information-"
Suddenly, Soshyang thought of something, or a piece of news revealed by Zhao Akhada, that Alatimos seemed to have something to do with the imperial guards during the Great Expedition.
"Is it the imperial guard?"
"Yes, sir, it is the Imperial Guard. The light flash cannon is the main weapon of the Imperial Guard's Ares gunboat, so it is strictly kept confidential."
“It turns out to be like this…”
After getting this information, Soshiyan finally began to examine the weapon, but he really couldn't see anything.
"...So is Alatimos still in contact with the Imperial Force now?"
"After the development of the light flash cannon, the Imperial Guard took away most of the sages and priests who developed this weapon. The subsequent casting world was only responsible for the manufacturing of some processing parts. After the civil war in the steel ring belt, we announced that we had completely lost this technology and could no longer provide any parts. The Imperial Guard never paid attention to us...even if we gave them such a gift."
Soshiyan could hear that Alatimos' sealing of this technology was obviously resentful. He clearly provided the empire with the best technology and the best talents, but he was abandoned just because of civil strife. Anyone would have been full of resentment.
In fact, this is also the empire's usual attitude towards giving, which makes so many forging worlds think that they are exploited and plundered, and eventually surrender to traitors or appear to be semi-independent. Even if they are loyal to the empire's forging worlds, they have to keep some tricks in private, such as secretly hiding a whole knight family like Riza.
Don't they want to contribute to the human empire?
In fact, there are just too many thankless things, not to mention that the efforts are absolutely unpaid most of the time. No matter how loyal the power is, it will gradually become a troubled water.
Soshiyan has always been extremely generous to his allies, whether it is the Alliance of Suffering, the Mechanical Cultivation, or even to outsiders, but he understands one truth very well. For a complex group, beliefs and ideals can strengthen each other's bonds, but they can never replace real bonds. Only interests can become real bonds. Although gathering with profits is easy to disperse due to profits, if even the most basic interests of each other cannot be taken care of, then dispersing will only be faster.
So he wouldn't ask the other party why this technology was only available now. If he didn't give them Titans, would they not provide such technology or other questions, because there was no need, and everyone could just stick to some things.
"So that's it. Since the light flash cannon is so powerful, how stable is it?"
"Well, because the energy generated during operation is too huge, a highly equipped and powerful cooling system is required. This cooling system is more complex and cannot be in a small and closed environment."
"Does the shape of the Ares gunboat?"
"some."
Soon, a unique twin-engine gunboat appeared in Soshyang's eyes, and he observed carefully and noticed the weapon on the front of the aircraft.
"That's the flash cannon?"
"Yes."
Then the view rotated to the rear, and Soshiyang was stunned.
“Behind it is... open?”
The tail of the Ares gunboat has a recessed area without armor protection, full of various precision capacitors and heat dissipation equipment, and Soshiyan immediately saw its shortcomings.
"This weakness is too obvious. Even if the gunboat is protected by shields, once hit by any external force, it will lead to catastrophic consequences..."
Soshiyang frowned and imagined the vehicle suitable for this weapon in his mind. It seemed that there was only gunboats, which would only be more dangerous on the ground.
“Will it be very serious if it is damaged?”
The other party's answer confirmed his conjecture.
