Chapter 789: Dont you have enough artillery shells to use up?
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
Groups of brilliant fireworks exploded like thunder not far from the Mingdou Mountains, and the continuous dense explosions almost completely obscured their sight.
The brass cannonballs, enchanted by wind magic and filled with a large amount of compressed fire elements, continuously release a dazzling and blazing glow.
The deafening sound and strong kinetic energy stirred up the linkage shield into layers of ripples, which continued to spread towards the whole.
But it is obvious that these shells did not cause damage to the Mingdou Mountain Fortress itself.
Those soldiers who were closer only felt a wave of heat coming towards their faces.
The hot air blew inward, making them scream and scream while they subconsciously dropped the metal products in their hands and quickly moved away from the observation window.
The linked soul shield can withstand explosions, but it cannot isolate all temperatures.
Only a fully functional shield like the Invincible Shield can withstand the temperature.
However, even so, countless soldiers still had uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
It seems that this first wave of attacks was blocked?
The linked soul shield is awesome!
The high-energy compression array soul guide is awesome!
"It didn't penetrate! The linked soul shield is still strong!"
"Although the artillery fire of the Immortal Empire is far away, it seems like it is just that!"
"A salvo of thousands of fixed soul-guided artillery shells, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how many more rounds they can fire?"
"Huh...lucky, lucky..."
Countless voices echoed throughout the fortress, and many people couldn't help but start cheering in low voices.
The morale in the entire fortress suddenly took on a new look.
Something called self-confidence quickly arose in the hearts of these guys who had previously been like frost beating eggplants.
These soldiers couldn't help but start to fantasize: without the charge of the Titled Douluo Knights, maybe the Immortal Empire would not be so terrifying.
Even if the opponent has ten Extreme Douluo, relying on the power of the soul guide, we are still confident that we can hold on!
In the fortress, the uneasy soldiers of the Sun and Moon Empire seemed to be temporarily relieved of their fear by the safety of the linked defense barrier, and finally showed some happiness on their faces.
However, this is only limited to ordinary soldiers and low-level soul engineers.
None of the soul engineers above level seven can laugh.
Especially the group of ninth-level soul engineers gathered in the highest combat command room, their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip with water.
All he needs to do is write four words on his face - I will be your mother!
Some people even cursed in a low voice.
The scolding was quite dirty.
The mental perception abilities of middle and low-level soul masters are not strong enough, and they are simply unable to judge the true power of these so-called "fixed soul guidance shells".
But these high-level soul mentors are different.
Those who can stand here are all top figures with strong scientific research capabilities and combat capabilities.
More or less, they all have a certain understanding of custom-made soul-guided artillery shells, the iconic weapon of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Judging from the feedback from those shells bombarding the linked defense shield, the energy level of these shells is at least no less than that of fixed soul-guided shells of around level six.
However, there is no corresponding level aura on them.
Soul guide is a very mysterious thing.
Especially starting from the fourth level, every soul tool, as long as it is a complete product, will have a unique aura on it due to the core of the formation and the texture of the formation.
In other words, a unique energy fluctuation.
This is also the only criterion for judging the level of a soul guidance device. It does not mean that the level can be determined by tapping the forehead like the first to third-level soul guidance devices.
And what about these shells that just exploded in front of us?
Sora had the power of a level six fixed soul-guided artillery shell, but there was no aura corresponding to that level at all.
It's just empty power.
If only one or two people judge this way, it can also be proved that there may be a perception error caused by the explosion impact.
However, all the high-level soul engineers present now realize it.
And the most important thing is that the tons of energy fluctuation detectors above the mountain fortress do not give corresponding level warnings at all!
In the feedback from the energy fluctuation detector, the pile of shells exploding in front of me could not even be considered the lowest standard of custom-made soul-guided shells.
Not at the first level!
At most, it’s only half a level!
What is the concept of half level?
For civilian use, the most common one, two gold soul coins can buy a soul guide desk lamp, this thing is half level.
Just such a piece of shit, you told me it can explode with the power of level 6 fixed soul-guided artillery shells?
Just kidding?
But the facts were in front of them, and they had to believe it.
Data and hit feedback don't lie.
Low-level means that it can be manufactured in batches and the cost is extremely low.
Some of the ninth-level soul masters have already started communicating with each other through sound transmission.
It was obvious that the round of test shots just now had begun to impact the inherent views of these high-level soul masters.
Now, in addition to their gloomy expressions, each one of them has begun to doubt their life, and even doubt what they have learned throughout their lives.
Orange looked at Kong Deming.
She didn't speak, but her doubtful eyes said everything.
At that time, Orange was also an excellent soul mentor who studied with Xuan Ziwen.
Coupled with all these years of exposure, she was naturally able to detect the strangeness of these shells.
Kong Lao frowned slightly and nodded slightly, confirming Orange's idea.
This is definitely not a custom-made soul-guided artillery shell, absolutely not.
The tenth-level soul master thought this as he watched a new round of a thousand shells falling like meteors and blasting brilliant flames on the linked soul shield.
In fact, this is indeed not a custom-installed soul-guided artillery shell.
This is just an ordinary artillery shell, and it is basically out of reach of the custom-made soul-guided artillery shells.
Traditional custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells are basically guided by missiles.
First, through the launching device, you guide your own soul power to charge the internal core array, forming a thrust behind the entire cannonball to push yourself out.
During flight, the core array in the warhead is continuously charged until it is fully charged.
Eventually, an explosion occurs through collision.
This is also why the range of custom-installed soul-guided cannonballs is so impressive.
It can be said to be quite stupid.
Therefore, He Caitou took inspiration from the cannonballs on Blue Star and improved it like this.
All the shells used by the God's Punishment Heavy Cannon, which are astonishingly one meter long, can be called warheads.
There is no conventional shell shell on the Blue Star shell, and there is no need to load propellant. All firing functions are completed by the God's Punishment Heavy Cannon itself.
Qian Chaoguang has adjusted the focus of his research a long time ago.
How to let ordinary people use soul guidance devices is not the general direction of research.
How to let low-level soul masters use high-level soul guidance tools is the future of the soul master system.
If you build a soul-guided battery like in the Legend of the Dragon King and convert the soul power into electrical energy for use, isn't this just taking off your pants and farting?
Soul masters can already control soul power, so why do they need another energy loss?
The Immortal Empire cannot build a soul guidance device that ordinary people can use in a short period of time.
But the Immortal Empire can allow ordinary people to directly possess soul power in a short period of time!
This way you don't have to worry about the problem that ordinary people can't use it.
As long as there is a trace of soul power in the body, you can use your own soul power to guide the soul power in the bottle. It is very simple and crude.
Therefore, the Divine Punishment Heavy Cannon and its corresponding shells were born.
The shells used by this kind of God's Punishment Heavy Cannon have nothing new in their shells, and they don't use any expensive and rare metal materials.
This production material is simply and crudely named No. 1 cannonball steel.
The composition of No. 1 gun steel is ninety-nine percent steel, and the remaining one percent is mixed with several rare metal scraps.
There is as much iron as there is on the Douluo Continent, and a lot of scraps of rare metal can be recovered from the low-level core array engraving production line every day.
In the end, you only need to apply the lowest level of solid enchantment on them in large quantities.
This thing is very simple.
To enchant the magic array machine carvings, you can enchant hundreds of them at once by practicing the last step of energy injection.
Purely fool-proof operation, no difficulty at all.
Such a shell shell is simply a typical example of waste recycling, and the cost is so low that it is ridiculous.
The explosives inside the cannonball are used to create kinetic energy, and the cannonball wizards and Caitou are even more imaginative.
He used the principle of Li Mei's incendiary bombs back then and used the magic alchemy technology of the Holy Demon Continent to perform secondary standardized compression of the fire element and then directly fill it into the shells.
Stuffed, sealed.
The top part of the warhead is filled with a simple solidified version of Buddha's Fury Tanglian gunpowder formula, which is only a thin line away from the compressed fire element, just enough to blow up part of the strong enchantment circuit.
In this way, the working principle of the God's Punishment Cannon is also clear.
First, the soul master guides the energy in the bottle to charge the God's Punishment Cannon, lighting up all the acceleration arrays and wind magic enchantments.
After the cannonball is filled, the soul master starts firing with a mechanical structure.
At that time, the rear of the fully charged Divine Punishment Cannon launch cabin will generate thrust through soul power blasting.
When the cannonball passes through the barrel, it will be accelerated eighteen times by the accelerating array, and it will be attached with a group of wind elements that can reduce weight and reduce air resistance.
No matter how the cannonball collides with the target, the outermost wind element will produce a strong shock as it collapses.
This kind of vibration will help the fire element break through the thin boundary blocked by explosives.
With the failure of the solid enchantment, the unrestricted compressed fire element will simultaneously release intense high temperature and huge kinetic energy outwards.
This power and flexibility are much stronger than any high-concentration explosives.
There is no cost, you just need to build a few element collectors, it is very simple.
If you want more power, compress it to level three, level four, or level five - of course, this will increase the strength of the shell.
Or directly increasing the size of the cannonball is also a way.
If you want to make it less powerful, then reduce the size of the ammunition and reduce the concentration of fire elements. This is easy.
Now this combination is the most cost-effective in terms of overall performance and price after testing with Caitou.
It is powerful, simple to manufacture and low in cost.
The cost of manufacturing such a cannonball is only about two gold soul coins, excluding labor and wear and tear on the production line.
Such a low price, coupled with the industrialized production system that the Immortal Empire has long established...
This has led to the accumulation of many, many warehouses of this stuff in the past few years.
After the research on this kind of artillery shell was successful, Qian Chaoguang ordered people to find a sleeping volcano rich in fire elements, and built a production base underground and risked his life.
That time when the beast wave hit the back, there were not enough soul-guided cannon shells, which made his phobia of lack of firepower become more and more serious.
Of course, even if the reserves are really insufficient, there will still be enough time for on-site production.
Anyway, the space technology of the Immortal Empire is top-notch, and it goes directly into the gun barrel after it comes off the production line, without any delay.
Under such circumstances, what awaited the Sun and Moon Empire was an almost endless rain of shells.
Every three minutes, the Immortal Empire's artillery position fires a salvo, which is equivalent to pouring out 20,000 six-level fixed soul-guided artillery shells per hour.
What's even more frightening is that this group of animals continued from the afternoon until midnight exactly.
Except for an hour's break from 6 to 7 pm to eat, the rest of the time was non-stop, accurately maintaining the terrifying frequency of one round every three minutes.
From afternoon to evening, they poured hundreds of thousands of artillery shells towards the Mingdou Mountains!
The deafening roar continued.
The troops of the Sun and Moon Empire in the mountain fortress were all numb.
Hundreds of thousands of level six custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells!
Where did the Undead Empire come up with so many gadgets?
If it weren't for the linked defensive soul barrier that had remained impregnable, the morale of the Sun Moon Empire's army would probably have dropped below freezing point.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the Immortal Empire stopped its attack on time.
The undead creatures kept vigil, and one hundred and one magic towers shone with a circle of pale golden light, covering the entire formation.
Under the protection of these reliable comrades, the soul masters of the human battle group camped on the spot and fell asleep one after another.
The linked soul guidance barrier in the Mingdou Mountains was finally shut down at two o'clock in the morning, giving these soul guidance devices that had been operating at high intensity for several hours a chance to take a rest.
A large number of soul engineers began to inspect it to see if there was any damage or overloaded parts that needed to be replaced.
This is the lifeblood of everyone and cannot be lost.
In the Supreme Operations Command Room, Orange rubbed his temples vigorously and looked at the adjutant who had just received the summary information.
"How much soul power reserve do we have left?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, except for the high-energy sealed milk bottle that has not yet been used, the soul power reserve in the high-energy compression array soul guide is only 48%." The adjutant immediately replied.
Upon hearing this data, Orange's heart suddenly sank.
This is not good news.
In a few hours, just by covering it with a large number of fixed soul-guided artillery shells, the Undead Empire was able to destroy more than half of its total energy reserves.
This is based on the premise that the light energy conversion device continues to be turned on!
A large number of light energy conversion devices are at full power, continuously supplying energy to the high-energy compression array soul guide.
Moreover, it is a rare good day during the day, and the light energy conversion device can convert more soul power.
But even so, during the afternoon defense, the soul power reserves continued to decline.
The conversion frequency cannot keep up with the other party's consumption speed.
