Volume 19, Chapter 117: Pick a Soft Persimmon
"It's true, it's true. But how does Ghost integrate this kind of weapon? Will he also 'liquefy'? I remember Norin said that his main idea is to be solid."
"Of course I can fuse liquid metal." As we were talking, the ghost came over from behind us. "Although my design idea is to be strong, it is just the shell and alloy keel. Some of my auxiliary parts can be melted and deformed. In addition to not being able to change the main structure of the body, I can actually transform many auxiliary parts. "
After listening to the ghost's words, I looked the ghost up and down again, and then asked: "Where is your cannon?"
After hearing my question, the ghost didn't rush to answer. Instead, a long triangular cannon barrel suddenly rose up from behind. The barrel stretched out for more than two meters before it began to tilt forward, and finally turned into a three-meter-long magical-style cannon with a tail that is nearly one-eighth thickest and slightly thinner at the ends.
"Shoulder-mounted?" I looked at the cannon for a moment, then looked at the Queen of Blades before asking: "Why is your cannon so much bigger than hers? Is it the same power? Or is this yours? More powerful?"
"Of course the power will be much greater." Ghost explained: "The design between the Queen of Blades and I is not just about the difference between permanent solid and 'liquid' metal, we are different in many design directions. For example The output power of our power cores is different, mine is about 30% more output than Blade's, so I can support larger energy weapons, while Blade can only use relatively small types."
"Then how powerful is your cannon exactly?"
"The maximum power may be more than thirteen times as powerful as Blade's shot just now. After all, the output power is different from the structure of the gun body. Large weapons are naturally more powerful. But in terms of flexibility, Blade's That one is better, but I can also do her kind, so I should have an advantage in terms of bombardment."
Blade himself said: "I am a speed type, and flexibility is my specialty. Compared to the confrontation of long-range energy weapons, I am better at close combat."
"No wonder you are equipped with blade claws, and they have that kind of curvature!"
The blade claws on Blade's arm are very different from mine. The blade claw on my hand can basically be said to be straight. Although there is a slight arc that is tilted towards the palm of the hand, the arc is very small and it feels a bit like an Oriental sword installed in reverse. As for the blade claw on the blade hand, Those things were almost three cat claws, and they were almost as curved as the crescent moon. In addition, in order to increase the lethality of my claws, only the side facing the palm of my hand has a smooth blade, while the side facing upward is covered with zigzag barbs. Once it is inserted into the human body, it can be pulled out. It will cause extremely terrifying cutting damage. But the blade claws of the blade do not have a similar design. Her blade claws are very smooth and have no serrated edges. They are shorter than my blade claws and the blade is also narrower. The main purpose of this design is to quickly pierce the human body and then pull it out easily without getting stuck on bones or something like my claws.
"My blade claws are only designed to quickly enter combat. Speaking of which, ghosts also have blade claws."
"Do you have one too?" I turned to look at the ghost in surprise.
The ghost first lifted the cannon on his shoulder back, and the thing immediately retracted itself into the opening on his back, turned into a metal solution, and flowed back into his body. When there was nothing in the way, the ghost raised his right hand and faced me with the back of his hand, and with a swish sound, three long, heavy blade claws similar to mine popped out.
"Damn, your blade claws are almost catching up with the bone-cutting knife!"
The ghost said proudly: "Actually, this thing is not as simple as it seems on the surface." As he spoke, he suddenly heard a sharp and sharp buzzing sound. The huge noise made people's scalp numb, and the blade on the ghost's arm The claw has entered a state that seems to be atomized, and it always seems like there is a layer of ghost on the surface.
This huge noise coupled with this special mist-like optical phenomenon immediately reminded me of a term - "high-frequency vibrating blade?"
"That's right." The noise disappeared immediately after the ghost closed his blade claws, and the atomization effect disappeared. "This is a high-frequency vibration blade. It is designed using the principle of mithril sensing magic to vibrate. However, in order to create it, a lot of resonance crystals were used as vibration actuators. Because it was too expensive, I was the only one to install it. It doesn’t have a blade. But the cutting power of this thing is really good. Cutting steel bars is like cutting noodles.”
"Now I know how your net worth of 1.8 billion crystal coins came from!"
When I said this, Ghost and Blade could only giggle beside them. They seemed to know that it cost me a lot of money to create them, so they felt a little embarrassed. But this was the crazy behavior of Noreen and others, and they couldn’t be blamed, so I didn’t say anything.
"Okay, it seems that I still underestimated your strength. Ordinary enemies are not suitable for you to practice at all. We'd better pack this place up and take it away as soon as possible, and then find some suitable opponents for you."
The so-called suitable opponent is naturally a relatively strong one. Among the stronger players, apart from me, the only ones left are those behind me on the ranking list. Since the players in this guild could not compete with each other to determine their true level, they simply ignored them. The remaining players were either allies or enemies. It is better to find allies to practice with your own people. As for enemies... It is most realistic to come to them originally, but I don't want the other party to know the performance of the super mobile angel in advance, so I can't practice with them.
Since the players don't have any good partners, they can only find them among NPCs. Although NPCs are everywhere in the game, Blade and Ghost are simply too powerful. Think about it, they are super mobile angels that far surpass the mobile angels used against the protoss in all aspects of performance, and even using the mobile angels against the protoss is enough to single out one or two middle and lower-level protoss, so they are much better than them. What kind of strength will the Blade and Ghost have? Anyway, there is basically no need to think about the strength below the protoss. If you encounter it, it will definitely be the same as ordinary soldiers, and you will be killed in one move. However, the Protoss cannot be chosen casually.
When looking for a discussion with the gods, the closest one would naturally be the gods in heaven. However, whether the gods injured the ghosts or the ghosts injured the gods I invited, this does not seem to be a good thing. So the Heavenly side can basically be ruled out.
There are quite a few other protoss forces that I have good relations with, but just like Heavenly Court, it is not good for these forces and ghosts to hurt anyone, so I cannot practice with them. If you want to practice, you have to find a hostile protoss, and one that is neither strong nor weak. After thinking about this standard for a long time, I only thought of three options.
The first option is to go to South America and find a random witch god. The advantage of this method is safety, but the disadvantage is that it is too safe. The strength of those small protoss may not even be comparable to our Temple of Chaos and Order. It is probably not easy to find one or two who can fight, so it is basically ineffective. I guess they will be divided into groups when encountering Blade. The kind that determines the winner.
The second option is to go to the United States to find the Free Gods. The United States is different from other countries. It is a country of immigrants and has no ancient history, so there are no local gods. In the game, due to the need for system balance, a free protoss was arranged for the United States. However, because this protoss itself was created by force, the overall strength setting is a bit asymmetrical with the United States' own strength. Unlike the protoss of other powerful countries in the world, although the United States is very strong, the free protoss is quite weak. At least compared to a behemoth like Heaven, it feels completely weak and unreliable. The advantage of training with them is that you can find a suitable opponent, and you won't cause too much trouble in the later stage. But there are a lot of troubles, that is, it may not be easy for American players to deal with it. The American protoss is probably one of the most friendly protoss in the game. Unlike the protoss in other countries who hardly interfere in the affairs of players, the free protoss in the United States have a strong sense of presence among players and will do anything. The whole country knows it. So if I take Ghost and the others to fight with the members of the Free Gods, there will definitely be another large-scale action against our guild in the United States.
The third option is to go directly to Japan to find trouble with the Takamagahara Protoss. The advantage of this choice is safety. After all, Amaterasu's current strength has declined greatly due to our influence, so it can be said that there are no high-level protoss in Japan that I can't fight against. Even if there are gods that I can't defeat, it's easy to resist for a while or escape. In addition to safety, there is another advantage to going to trouble the Gao Tianyuan Protoss, that is, you are familiar with the road. Don't forget the true origin of Xinghuo. Although she has been living in Buddhism for so long under a disguised identity, she is actually a member of the gods of Gaotian Yuan. Therefore, she can give us a comparison of which gods in Gaotian Yuan are easy to attack and which ones are not suitable as targets. Clear instructions. Of course, there are drawbacks to troublesome Japanese protoss. The biggest problem lies with Japanese players.
Now that Japan has just ended its war with us, Masamoto Matsumoto is using this short idle period to sort out and integrate all aspects of Japan's forces to strengthen itself. If we go to Japan at this time to find trouble with the Japanese protoss, then needless to say, we will definitely attract the attention of Japanese players, and then someone will inevitably report Matsumoto Masa. As the current nominal commander-in-chief of Japan, Masamoto Matsumoto must rush to the scene as soon as he knows that I appear. Of course, I can have another show battle with him, but in order to test the performance of the two mobile Angels Making such a big noise always feels like a small gain.
After comprehensively considering the three options, I finally chose the second option, which was to go to the United States to cause trouble for the Free Gods. The first option is too difficult. If you can’t measure the result anyway, why bother testing it? The third method involves too much investment and is super troublesome, so I gave it up. Although there will definitely be some friction after the test in the United States, this kind of friction happens all the time, and it doesn't really mean much whether or not we participate. Besides, one thing that is better about the United States is that players here are not as unified as other countries. The major guild forces in the United States are too constrained by each other. Even if someone is really unhappy with us, it is impossible for all players in the United States to participate. At most, only one or two forces will participate. Therefore, comprehensively considering the cost of attacking the Free Protoss is the lowest and can achieve our testing purposes.
After the target was decided, we immediately packed up and returned to Essinger. We first threw the cannons and technicians we just found to the research department, and then teleported directly to *** City through the transnational teleportation array.
boom……. As soon as we came out of the teleportation array, we heard a thunderous noise in the distance, and then we saw a column of smoke gradually rising not far away, and there seemed to be a faint fire in it.
"What's going on here?" The ghost also saw the smoke column in the distance, so he came over curiously and asked.
Before I could explain, I saw a huge fireball suddenly explode in front of us. At the same time, a loud noise and a shock wave directly swept down a large area of the building next to the street.
The Queen of Blades walked up to us and took a look at the location of the explosion, and then said: "Artillery attack. The firing point is 8,500 meters away. The opponent may have used a mixed blasting mode of blasting magic array and explosives."
"Can you calculate the origin of a cannonball based on its trajectory?"
"It's just a simple function operation." The Queen of Blades said casually.
I didn't know much about the computing power of constructed creatures before. After all, although the principle of these things looks like robots, their control core is not a computer, so I didn't know that constructed creatures also have strong computing capabilities. However, it seems today that constructed creatures are indeed very suitable for calculations. At least they can calculate ballistic functions much faster than humans.
The ghost interrupted my thinking and asked again: "Why would someone bombard our city? President, don't you know there's a war going on here?"
I waved my hand and said, "I know, I know, but I'm used to it, so I don't think it's strange."
"What do you mean you're used to it?"
"If you were attacked every day, seven days a week, you would get used to it." A female voice suddenly answered the ghost's question.
"Shura Ziyi? How did you know I was coming?" I asked slightly surprised.
Shura Ziyi rolled his eyes at me and said: "Who knew you were coming? I just want to go back to Essinger to do some errands. You are standing at the exit of the transnational teleportation array. I don't think I can even see you!"
"It seems that I'm just too passionate." I said with a smile, then looked at the explosion point and asked, "What happened this time?"
"It's not the same as before. Caucasians are naturally better, and they can't bear to see yellow-skinned monkeys wandering around in their backyards." Shura Ziyi's tone was clearly sarcastic, but the description was very appropriate.
"Are there frequent wars here?" Queen of Blades asked with some confusion.
Shura Ziyi first looked at the Queen of Blades, and after seeing the logo on her shoulder, he said: "It can't be said that we fight every day, but it is very common to fight three days, one big fight, two days, one small fight, and sometimes one fight every day." It’s not necessarily a battle that lasts for three or five days. Those guys have nothing to do all day long and just use attacking our city as entertainment!”
"Don't we all fight back?" Ghost asked.
I explained before Shura Ziyi: "The specific content is quite complicated and cannot be explained simply. If you want to connect to the God of War in the future, he will explain it to you slowly when he has time."
It's not that I don't want the ghost to know, the main reason is that this matter is very complicated. If you really think about it, I don't have to do anything today, so I decided to leave this super troublesome matter to the God of War to deal with. Anyway, he is least afraid of it. Just trouble.
Shura Ziyi also knew that this matter would not be explained clearly for a while, so he just said to the ghost: "Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you know what's going on here, and you don't have to manage the external relations of our guild. This thing is completely irrelevant to you." Use it. By the way, I have something else to do, so I’m leaving first. If you want to leave the city, just fight your way out from the city wall. The teleportation array can only be used by the cross-border array, and it is closed to teleportation arrays in the United States. Everything outside the city gate We are enemies, it would be better for you to just find a place and jump over the wall if you go to the city."
I nodded to express my understanding, and then walked towards the city wall with the ghost and the blade. However, I did not follow Shura Ziyi's advice and go to another city wall, but went directly to the city gate. It's not because I'm going to cause a massacre, but because there is a straight road from the city gate to the teleportation hall, and there is a detour from other areas. I don't want to waste time for some soldiers who are not a threat in the first place.
It can be said that the road from the teleportation hall to the city wall is not long, but in this section alone we saw that only thirty shells passed through the city's protective shield and fell into the city. Originally, the protective shield should not allow other things to pass through before it is completely broken. However, because the blow outside the city is too violent, there will inevitably be weak points on the protective shield that cannot keep up with the energy supply. If the cannonball is just right If it hits a weak point in this gap, it is possible to pass through the protective shield. Although this is a small probability event, with so many dense rain of artillery shells flying across the battlefield, it is not surprising to encounter one or two occasionally.
When we rushed to the city wall, the American players outside the city just launched a charge. Looking around, there were cavalry on horseback charging towards the city wall, and behind them were countless cannons.
"Damn, those guys are really capable! They actually incited so many people!" Seeing so many enemies, I wasn't afraid or angry. On the contrary, my current mood is actually - excitement. Yes, it’s excitement. People who don't know the inside story will naturally not understand why I get excited when I see so many enemies, but those who know will definitely not think there is anything wrong with my mood. Because these people are all money to me. As for this reason...
