Chapter 334: In Trouble
"Master, there's no way we can penetrate this thing!" I was watching the battle ahead when I suddenly heard Ling's anxious shout.
"What?" I quickly turned to look at Ling and asked in surprise: "Why can't we penetrate this thing?"
"Because this is not a city-level protective shield at all."
"Not the city protective shield?" I focused my eyes on the protective shield again, and at the same time, all the sensing abilities in my body were concentrated on that protective shield, but the result of the sensing was indeed what I had judged before. In my perception, this thing is a city protective shield, and it is the lowest kind.
Ling probably knew that I couldn't tell the difference between these things, so he explained directly without waiting for me to ask: "This is a special protective shield, and the energy output is adjustable. I thought it was a city-level protective shield before, but just now I The upper limit of this thing's endurance has been rising during our attacks. Several times I thought this thing was going to break, but it turned out to be safe and sound. This shows that this thing can self-regulate its defense strength. The energy characteristics it showed before should be just it. Special processing is done to save energy. When it is attacked, its energy value will rise linearly. However, because we are also outputting energy at the moment when the attack breaks out, ordinary people cannot feel its short-term energy change at all."
"Damn it, I was tricked!" After listening to Ling's explanation, I already knew the characteristics of this thing, so I stopped letting the demon pets continue to attack the protective shield. If there is no problem with Ling's induction, then this thing is really a self-adjusting protective shield, and this kind of protective shield is generally a type with super high defense power. The energy consumption of ordinary protective shields is relatively normal, so they do not need to adjust the output range because it is not necessary. However, some ultra-high-power protective covers have very strong protective capabilities, but the collateral effect of such strong protective capabilities is ultra-high energy consumption, so super-powerful protective covers often cannot work for a long time. First, the energy consumption is too high, and the owner cannot allow it to consume energy without limit. After all, the energy in the game is provided by magic crystals. Magic crystal is a kind of ore, and it costs money to exchange for energy. No one would leave a super energy-consuming protective shield open all the time. It would be a waste of money. Besides, even if a certain guild is so rich that it is not afraid of burning, this kind of thing cannot work all the time, because just like those high-power electrical appliances in reality, they will heat up. The high-energy magic devices in the game also generate heat. The huge energy consumption of this super protective shield means that its heat generation is also huge. It's okay to turn it on occasionally, but once it continues to work for too long. If the cooling system cannot keep up with the rate of heat accumulation, the final result can only be burnt internal components and the equipment is scrapped.
Precisely because of the many restrictions of advanced energy shields, everyone used to use human-controlled power-on methods to circumvent those restrictions. To put it bluntly, this method is to find someone to stand next to the switch to see if there is an enemy attack. Once the attack comes, activate the protective shield and close it immediately after blocking the attack. The benefits of this method are obvious. The energy consumption of the shield that is only activated at the moment of interception is naturally not a problem, and turning it on briefly can greatly reduce the heat dissipation burden, so this method can be said to be a very common solution. but. The disadvantages of this method are as obvious as its advantages, that is, the reaction speed and judgment accuracy of manual control.
Under normal circumstances, it takes time for a general attack weapon to fly, and the activation time of the protective cover generally only takes two to three seconds. It can be said that this time is not long. If it is an enemy's cannonball or bow and arrow, you can definitely catch up with the enemy's cannonball or bow and arrow by activating the protective shield after seeing the opponent launch it. As for magic attacks. The general speed is not very fast, and the interception can usually be successful. However, some spells or siege weapons are not pure physical attacks, but beam attacks, such as magic light cannons.
No matter how powerful this type of beam attack is, at least it is fast enough. The beam of light travels at the speed of light. So there is no way to predict it. If you see the opponent happen, it means you have been hit. It is absolutely impossible to rely on people to intercept this kind of attack. In addition, another situation is the determination of protective weapons. If under normal circumstances, a city is attacked by a musketeer, the city shield will definitely not be activated. Because compared to the attack power of a musketeer, the solidity of the city wall can basically be described as indestructible, so there is no need to activate the protective shield.
but. What if it was the gunman who attacked the city wall? Gunslinger's attack power is still the highest in the game so far. His instantaneous damage output is much higher than that of Kristina and the others. Although he is also a musketeer, for someone like him, it is It cannot be treated as a mere musketeer at all. At this time, if the protective shield is manually controlled, there may be errors in judgment, because if this person knows the Gunslinger and knows that his attack power is high, he will definitely activate the protective shield, but if he does not know who the Gunslinger is. who? The result must be tragic.
Precisely because of the huge shortcomings of manual control, some guilds are now researching automatic control protective covers. The design principle of this protective cover is actually very simple, it is nothing more than two layers of protective covers. Set up a lowest-level ultra-thin protective shield outside, and then use manual control of this low-level protective shield. As long as there is a battle, this low-level protective shield can be activated. Anyway, its protective ability is very poor and its energy consumption is very low, so it is no longer wasted. However, the main function of this protective cover is to serve as a detection method.
This low-level protective shield will be followed by a super protective shield in series, and the low-level protective shield will withstand all attacks from the enemy after being activated. If the opponent's attack cannot even penetrate the low-level protective shield, it naturally means that there is no threat, but once the low-level protective shield is penetrated, the super protective shield behind it will be activated instantly. The activation switch of this super protective shield is the rupture identifier of the low-level protective shield. That is to say, as soon as the low-level protective shield is broken, the high-level protective shield will be connected immediately, and as soon as the attack is over, the low-level protective shield will gain energy and be repaired again. At this time, the advanced protective cover will close again. The advantages of this kind of linkage are accuracy, speed, and low energy consumption. There will never be misjudgments or waste of energy. It is perfect.
Of course, the design of this kind of protective cover is also quite difficult. Although the principle is laid out as if everyone can understand it, it is actually very difficult to do it. At least the instant activation problem of the advanced protective cover is a problem. big trouble.
If the protective shield in front of you is really a special dual-control protective shield, then what Ling said may be true. This kind of protective shield cannot be penetrated by my magic pet. It seems that we have to change the method! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
